Chapter 596: Throwing Temper
He Niancheng said blandly, “Mm, goodbye.”
He didn’t bother to correct the way Gu Qingjiu had addressed him.
He watched as Gu Qingjiu entered the school, then made a phone call to Huo Yingcheng. “I want all of Gu Qingjiu’s past information in greater detail. If you can’t get your hands on it, get it from your contacts in China?”
“… Oh, what happened…”
Huo Yingcheng asked cautiously.
He Niancheng clearly didn’t sound too happy.
“She’s throwing a temper,” explained He Niancheng.
Huo Yingcheng was instantly enlightened. “No, Major-general. Isn’t this very normal? Women tend to have mood swings in those few days. Can’t you just coax her the way you usually do? Aren’t you very good at that?”
For that final statement, Huo Yingcheng had said it in a sour tone.
He Niancheng scoffed. “No wonder someone like you can’t find a girlfriend.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
Before he had the time to refute, He Niancheng already hung up the phone.
Someone like you!
F*ck!
Huo Yingcheng nearly flung his phone at the ground.
Clearly, he had been single all along. But the minute he shook off that status, he couldn’t wait to mock this brother with whom he had gone through weal and woe together.
He finally saw this person for who he was!

After Gu Qingjiu returned to school, she pondered a lot. Somehow, the atmosphere between her and He Niancheng earlier was kind of funny.
Were conflicts starting to arise between them?
At the thought of this, Gu Qingjiu felt sweat forming on her forehead.
Since she returned early, no one had yet to return to the dormitory.
Lying on her bed, Gu Qingjiu felt that He Niancheng’s attitude earlier was too strange. Was it as though she had offended him?
But then again, it didn’t seem right.
She sat up straight and made a phone call to He Niancheng.
He Niancheng picked up the phone quickly and merely responded with an “mm.”
Gu Qingjiu’s heart felt much more at ease upon hearing his voice.
“Are you on your way back now?”
“Yes.”
There didn’t seem to be anything amiss from the tone of his voice.
Gu Qingjiu heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. She thought about it for a moment, then said, “I… I miss you very much.”
Upon hearing this, the man finally felt himself in a much better mood.
“Why did you throw a temper when you miss me?”
He said straightforwardly.
Gu Qingjiu was shocked. “I didn’t.”
Although she wasn’t in the right state of emotions earlier, she didn’t throw a temper.
She wasn’t someone who would do something like that.
“Just now, I simply suddenly got into a bad mood.”
That was the honest truth. In any case, women on their periods could not be reasoned with.
He Niancheng replied, “Since you’re in a bad mood, I’m in a bad mood as well.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled. “Got it. I’ll be happier in the future.”
As she spoke, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Gu Qingjiu lowered her voice and said, “My dorm mates are back. I’ll hang up now. Chief Instructor, I’ll call you when I have time.”
She couldn’t be bothered to correct herself anymore, so Gu Qingjiu simply continued addressing him as Chief Instructor.
Thankfully, He Niancheng didn’t mind that. After an “mm,” the duo naturally hung up.
Gu Qian and Chu Lian, who just returned to the dormitory, widened their eyes at the sight of Gu Qingjiu, who was lying sprawled at the head of her bed. “Huh, you still remember to come back, huh? You’re itching for a beating now, eh? You even dare to go out during the week when we’re supposed to be training!”
Gu Qingjiu immediately got to her feet with a smile. “I had an urgent matter to attend to, can’t help it.”
