Chapter 307: The Top Institution of Learning
The next day, during the weekend.
The military school used a closed-off management style, and students weren’t allowed to go out.
But it was different for Gu Qingjiu—after all, she had a chief instructor for a boyfriend.
She didn’t feel any pressure at all going via a backdoor method.
She merely told the chief instructor what she wished to do, and he immediately approved her request to leave the school.
At night, he would ask Gu Qingjiu to wait for him and go for dinner together.
While feeling joyful about this, she also felt a little excited.
But what surprised her was Qi Xiaoran.
She had originally wanted to help Qi Xiaoran apply for leave together with her, but the latter said she had already obtained permission to leave the school.
Feeling astonished, she casually asked He Niancheng about this. His reply shocked her.
“She has someone influential backing her. She should be a ‘dark hand’ chosen by the higher-ups.”
According to He Niancheng’s explanation, a ‘dark hand’ was someone who was selected because of some special reasons to carry out a secret mission while they were in the military.
Although such a person didn’t appear any different from others on the surface, they would secretly receive missions that ordinary soldiers would never be involved in their entire life.
These people usually had something special about them—that is, they were unbelievably outstanding in a certain area.
And that was why they were selected by the higher-ups to become a ‘dark hand.’
Something similar to Gu Qingjiu’s talent in the shooting.
And now, according to Gu Qingjiu’s observation, other than her whereabouts and being mysterious, she couldn’t quite see in what way Qi Xiaoran was outstanding.
Of course, she considered the possibility that Qi Xiaoran could be deliberately concealing her capabilities.
But He Niancheng usually only said something when he was sure of it.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t ask in detail, merely hiding this secret that she accidentally came to know about in the depths of her heart.
She went to Yannan University with Qi Xiaoran, pretending she knew nothing about it.
Yannan University was rather far away from the military university; it was situated in the city, whereas the military university was located in a more remote area.
After all, the special training techniques of the military school had to be kept a secret, and certain aspects were confidential. Hence, it naturally couldn’t be built in the bustling city area.
The two of them took a cab to Yannan together.
She and Qi Xiaoran weren’t chatty people, and when they got quiet, others couldn’t quite tolerate it.
They didn’t even chat at all during the cab ride.
As the capital was very big, it would take an entire morning to get to Yannan University from the military university.
It was despite the fact that Gu Qingjiu and the rest had set off very early in the morning.
Since there wasn’t much time, Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran both decided not to go back for the night.
Gu Qingjiu was staying at a hotel by herself, whereas Qi Xiaoran had other accommodation plans.
“We’ve reached.”
After sleeping for god knows how long on the car, Qi Xiaoran woke Gu Qingjiu up.
Gu Qingjiu raised her head and sized up the scenery outside.
Yannan University was located in the bustling city center of the capital, in a very prosperous area.
In the streets on that spring day, there were many cars and people going to and fro. Just this bustling scene alone was something that Dayi City couldn’t compare to.
The plaque of Yannan University was hung right before Gu Qingjiu.
Behind were countless enormous and magnificent architectural buildings.
Those were the school buildings.
It was very pretty, and it looked dignified and solemn like what one would expect of an institution of learning.
“What a great place.”
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help saying with a sigh.
If she wasn’t forced to make a decision under tight time constraints when she was reborn, she might have wanted to enroll in this place?
After all, this was the top institution of learning in China, the place many students dreamed of entering.
This was her first time here, but clearly, Qi Xiaoran had been here several times.
