Chapter 151: This Person, A Despairing Familiarity
Zhong Xiaoxiao wasn’t alone.
She came with several classmates in tow.
Upon hearing what she had said, they all turned to look at Gu Qingjiu with their eyeballs nearly popping out!
‘Damn, that’s Gu Qingjiu?’
She was Gu Qingjiu who recently joined the military.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t deliberately say something, but merely smiled and nodded. “I am Gu Qingjiu, Class Monitor.”
It completely stunned Zhong Xiaoxiao.
The Gu Qingjiu she remembered had always been a girl of few words, who was wooden and slightly chubby and easily ignored in a crowd.
However, the Gu Qingjiu who stood before her had well-defined and exquisite features. She was unbelievably pretty that she gave off an exotic vibe; and most importantly, she was so fair that she glowed standing among a crowd.
With a smile on her face, there was an amused yet cold gaze in her eyes. But even so, her entire being seemed to shine.
It was vastly different from the person Zhong Xiaoxiao remembered.
Completely unbelievable!
Her first reaction was that Gu Qingjiu had gone for plastic surgery.
But how was that even possible when Gu Qingjiu went to train in the military?
Moreover, how could a plastic surgery end up so perfect that it did not leave any hint or trace?
Gu Qingjiu’s facial features looked very natural.
Zhong Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. “You… just came out of the military?”
She didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.
Facing Gu Qingjiu who had striking looks, those classmates who used to treat her like she was invisible in the past, felt like they were dealt a staggering blow.
“Yes, we just finished the three months assessment in the troops. I need to return a week later.”
When she chose a different path from these people, it was likely that they wouldn’t see each other ever again, especially that they didn’t have any affinity with each other.
But on the account that they were still classmates, Gu Qingjiu didn’t put a cold shoulder on them.
“A week? Does that mean you’re spending two years in the military?” Compared with Gu Qingjiu’s transformation, the fact that she was going to return to the military shocked Zhong Xiaoxiao even more.
Deep down, she thought that Gu Qingjiu was only going to train in the military for three months, and she wouldn’t be able to take such training. Thus, she would end up leaving.
She didn’t expect that Gu Qingjiu, who had undergone such a massive transformation, would still return to the military.
Zhong Xiaoxiao never thought about what would happen to Gu Qingjiu in the future; for in her eyes, Gu Qingjiu was an invisible person. After she had transformed by a mile, other than it was shocking, it didn’t seem to evoke any other emotions.
But who in the class would have seen that coming?
“Mm. So Class Monitor, since you chose to take the college exams, do work hard for it.”
Gu Qingjiu gave her sincere blessings with a smile.
Faced with her dazzling smile, Zhong Xiaoxiao replied in a dazed manner. “I will.”
Gu Qingmo and the rest were gleeful to see Zhong Xiaoxiao and her classmates’ reaction.
Their family had been so shocked to see such a big transformation in Gu Qingjiu back then, and indeed it was even more so for Gu Qingjiu’s old classmates.
After exchanging a few brief words with Zhong Xiaoxiao, that was it.
Gu Qingjiu had no choice but to join the military. Although she was a little envious of Zhong Xiaoxiao and the rest at first, that envy gradually dissipated as she spent more days in the troops.
“Hi, the drinks you’ve ordered are here. Red tea, lemon water…”
A familiar and gentle voice rang by her ears.
Gu Qingjiu paused in surprise, turning her head in disbelief.
Instantly, it felt as though her surroundings went dead quiet.
It was like everything had lost its color, and only the waiter before her eyes was in color.
His eyes and his subtle smile, all bore a despairing and hateful familiarity for Gu Qingjiu.
