Chapter 298: Commanding Officer Qin, Do You Have Something Against Me?
He Niancheng wanted to deal with Qin Huai, but Qin Huai didn’t know the reason behind it.
According to Huo Yingcheng, the reason Qin Huai was displeased with Gu Qingjiu was more or less because of He Niancheng.
For him to treat Gu Qingjiu any less because of him felt indescribably uncomfortable for He Niancheng.
His original intention was to settle some handover matters while Huo Yingcheng was here just to take a look.
He didn’t expect Gu Qingjiu to look for him.
Last night, when he saw Gu Qingjiu hit the bullseye, it seemed to be within his expectations.
He had long seen the hidden potential this girl held. For sharpshooting, that potential was magnified.
He first met Gu Qingjiu on an ordinary morning.
But it was just a single meeting.
He had witnessed her at her weakest and was now witnessing her undeniable gradual increase in strength.
From the start, he had always paid a different sort of attention to this girl.
As long as she was there, he would pay more attention to the place.
Through these years, He Niancheng had never fallen in love or been in a relationship.
But no matter how dumb he was, he knew that the feelings he had for Gu Qingjiu were special.
Else, he would not have rescued Gu Qingjiu nor would he have settled her father’s matters for her.
It seemed as if there was actually no reason for him to do all that.
It was just like Huo Yingcheng said.
‘Major-general, at your age, you should at least get into a relationship. If you don’t, people will suspect that we are a pair and the moment they do, it would be very hard for me…’
Although he always felt that that was just Huo Yingcheng bullshitting.
However, he wasn’t against the idea of being in a relationship if his partner was Gu Qingjiu.
He did not hold strong feelings towards Gu Qingjiu but he was willing to look out for her.
When this special concern slowly accumulated bit by bit, it would eventually become what had happened earlier on.
He originally intended to wait a little more. He would first come to the academy to remain as her Chief Instructor.
After all, she was still too young—only eighteen years old.
But he did not expect that before he even made a move, that girl took the initiative to confess to him.
She was really straightforward about it too.
Huo Yingcheng often said that girls were creatures who were reserved and easily embarrassed.
But he couldn’t see a single trace of that in Gu Qingjiu.
However, when she was confessing to him, that rare red flush over her face and those twinkling eyes…
Looked extremely cute.
That was why he did not follow his original intention of waiting until Gu Qingjiu was slightly older.
And instead agreed right away.
After agreeing, other than his mindset of ‘Gu Qingjiu is his person’ changing to ‘Gu Qingjiu belonged to him’, nothing seemed to have changed.
Yep, that was the only difference.
Perhaps there were other splendid aspects of this which would require He Niancheng and Gu Qingjiu to slowly explore.
As for this Qin Huai who was in front of him at that very moment…
He was really a person who sought after death.
He could see the hatred beneath his eyes.
But this look…
He had seen enough of them.
He Niancheng’s lips curled up into a cold smile. “Commanding Officer Qin.”
Those three words were articulated clearly. Although the tone was light, it felt thick enough that Qin Huai found it hard to breathe.
He felt the ends of his scalp going numb. He greeted loudly, “Yes, Chief Instructor!”
He Niancheng’s cold curl of lips became more evident. “Commanding Officer Qin, do you have something against my arrival here?”
Hearing that, Qin Huai immediately hid his anger and became frightened all of a sudden. “Of course not, why would Commander He feel that way?”
