Chapter 460: It’s Not Good to Interfere Too Much With China’s Affairs
She shrunk back into a dark corner.
She had no idea if it was just her hallucination, but she felt the Chief Instructor look over towards her a few times.
But with this considerable distance between them, the Chief Instructor should not be able to see her, right?
Even she couldn’t even see his expression.
After staying there for a while, Gu Qingjiu left after seeing that the group of people had no intention of leaving.
When she was back at the dormitory, Gu Qian, who had a facial mask on, snickered at her. “Why? You didn’t get to see your little lover?”
“Since you came back so quickly.”
Gu Qingjiu decided to remain silent.
Looking up, she saw that Qi Xiaoran was already on her bunk.
And she was flipping through a book.
She wondered if she was wrong, but for the whole day, she got the vibes that Qi Xiaoran was in a good mood.
Gu Qingjiu called out, “Qi Xiaoran.”
“Mm?”
Qi Xiaoran looked up from her book. Gu Qingjiu smiled. “In a good mood today?”
Qi Xiaoran paused for a moment before she chuckled a little. “Yeah, I won the competition. You have to work hard for the sharpshooting competition. I’m looking at you to win first place.”
“That’s not for sure.”
Gu Qingjiu initially wanted to ask Qi Xiaoran about her duel, but somehow it felt like asking would have other implications. Hence, she kept it in.
Gu Qian and Chu Ling looked at the two of them talking and kept quiet.
Somehow, whenever the two of them were talking, their surroundings were always strangely silent.
Gu Qingjiu felt a little regretful not being able to see the Chief Instructor. After lying on her bed for a while, a text message from the Chief Instructor came.
[ Why are you not coming? ]
Gu Qingjiu smiled as she replied, [ How would I dare? There were so many leaders there. ]
[ Mm, a little busy today. Come over tomorrow ]
Seeing that, Gu Qingjiu didn’t reply and instead started pondering about what the Chief Instructor might be doing at that moment.
…
Huo Yingcheng returned from the borders today. After talking to the leaders just now, he was strewn limply over He Niancheng’s office table.
“Major-General, you’re a nightmare, leaving me alone at the borders to feed the mosquitoes and making me lose a few kilograms.”
Huo Yingcheng couldn’t stop his complaints. He Niancheng was currently busy looking at documents related to the competition.
After all, he was a Chief Instructor. With that title, he had work to do as well.
Hearing Huo Yingcheng’s words, He Niancheng glanced coldly at him. “I don’t think you lost weight. You probably grew fatter.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
“No! Major-General, you’re seeing it wrong!”
He sat up and chattered on about random things. “But Major-General, Qingjiu’s talent in sharpshooting is a little scary. Her first outdoors shooting practice almost caused the National Defense University’s team’s elimination. It is something that even Yin Ruoyi back then could not achieve. Do you think that woman will pay special attention to Gu Qingjiu now?”
“At this stage, it’s not worth her attention.”
He Niancheng looked up, tapping his pen rhythmically on the table. “And she doesn’t need her attention. Just mine is enough.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
This damned person was showing off his love.
“But that’s not for sure. If Qingjiu caught her attention, it would be great news. Look at her dorm mate…”
Before he could finish his sentence, He Niancheng frowned and cut him off. “Her dorm mate’s a little strange. Go check her background to see who is backing her.”
Huo Yingcheng was perplexed. “As people of Penalan Kingdom, can we not care so much about China’s affairs?”
