Chapter 174: Commander Huo’s Express Delivery
“I know, you don’t have to worry about these.”
Gu Qingmo answered as he urged Gu Qingjiu to go into the bus terminal.
Gu Qingjiu lugged her luggage along silently before she turned around and went through the checks.
The army’s designated waiting area was unlike the others where regular citizens could enter easily. Without a special permit, they could not easily enter.
Hence why Gu Qingmo could only send Gu Qingjiu off outside the bus terminal and watch as her silhouette disappeared in front of him.
Gu Qingjiu held her emotions back.
It wasn’t like three months ago. Before, Gu Qingjiu knew that she could come back at least once, but this trip meant she wouldn’t be able to see home for the next two years,
If she entered the advanced training camp, it might take even longer.
She didn’t want to cry, but she felt it was wrong if she couldn’t hold back.
She could have enjoyed a safe and peaceful life. She had better choices.
But reality was always cruel.
Because of the Yu family!
Thinking about the Yu family, Gu Qingjiu’s feeling of grievance changed entirely into a feeling of disdain and hatred.
It was not long before the Yu family would come.
It took around three hours to get from Dayi City to the camp. When Gu Qingjiu arrived, it was barely noon.
It was her first day of return so she didn’t need to train yet.
When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the dormitory, she unpacked her luggage and cleaned the room.
Because Yu Bao’er wasn’t here this time, Gu Qingjiu felt like she was a new recruit all over again.
A strange sort of loneliness filled her.
She prepared everything and changed into her uniform before going to the canteen for food.
Besides the regulars, there weren’t many recruits.
The bulk of the people would arrive in the afternoon.
And for most regulars, it was already well past their usual dining time, so the canteen was pretty much empty other than a few others around.
Gu Qingjiu finished her meal quickly and quietly. When she was leaving, she received a call from Huo Yingcheng.
“Commander Huo?”
After that drunk incident the other time, Huo Yingcheng and He Niancheng did not contact Gu Qingjiu.
So until then, Gu Qingjiu had no idea if Huo Yingcheng were subjected to He Niancheng’s torture or not.
“Qingjiu, are you back at the camp?”
Oh, so this was what he wanted to ask.
Gu Qingjiu said, “Yes, I’m back. What’s the matter, Commander Huo?”
“Just nice. I have an express delivery sent to the mailroom. Help me collect it.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
It felt like she was becoming their lackey.
But since it was an order from a superior, Gu Qingjiu did not dare to object. She helplessly answered, “I understand. I will go right now. Should I send it to the Chief Instructor’s office? I don’t know where your office is.”
“Sure, sure. You can leave it in his office. Just don’t let him see you when you put it there.”
Huo Yingcheng instructed.
“Okay, Commander Huo, I will take note.”
She had nothing on, so it wasn’t too bad to help a little.
From where she was at, it would take her around ten minutes to reach the mail room.
The items ordered by people inside the camp would be delivered to the mailroom first. And when the receivers are free after their training, they can come and collect their packages.
She arrived at the mailroom. She assumed that Huo Yingcheng came by to inform them since the personnel at the mail room only made Gu Qingjiu write her name and squad before she collected the item.
Huo Yingcheng’s item was square but was rather bulky. She even had to hug it to carry it.
And carrying it in that manner almost blocked her entire view.
She couldn’t properly see what was in front of her.
