“Brother!”
Even though she knew Gu Qingmo was merely teasing her, Gu Qingjiu still felt shy.
“Ha ha ha.”
Gu Qingmo laughed cheerfully and Yu Bao’er went boy-crazy at that.
If it wasn’t for the need to maintain her image, she might have drooled on the spot. She kept nudging Gu Qingjiu with her elbow. “Qingjiu, Qingjiu, introduce us.”
It was only then that Gu Qingmo noticed her.
Gu Qingjiu let out an ‘orh’ sound before she turned to Gu Qingmo and said, “Brother, this is my roommate. We serve in the military together. Her name is Yu Bao’er, you can just call her Bao’er.”
Gu Qingjiu’s introduction made Yu Bao’er satisfied.
However, Gu Qingmo was not so keen on this young lass, merely nodding at her as a form of greeting. The man who had been left aside for some time spoke up. “Qingmo, if I’d known Gu Qingjiu is your younger sister, I should have befriended her earlier so someone would look out for her in the military, right?”
Gu Qingmo looked towards him, then smiled politely. “I just found out that Qingjiu joined the military. She didn’t tell me before.”
Gu Qingmo then recalled his true purpose for coming, which he had almost forgotten after seeing Gu Qingjiu’s major transformation.
He pulled Gu Qingjiu aside, and he no longer sounded as gentle as earlier. “Qingjiu, why did you join the military?”
Although Gu Qingmo wasn’t at home that much, he understood how his sister’s mind worked.
She was delicate and couldn’t take hardships, and their parents had spoiled her since she was young. Why did she suddenly join the military?
“Brother…” Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips, sounding determined. “I’ve already been training for a month. It’s too late for you to say something like that. I chose to serve in the military, that’s all.”
Gu Qingmo’s face dimmed. “You just wanted to serve in the military? I heard from Mom that you decided on computer science at first and changed your choice before the day of confirming. If that’s really what you wanted, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Gu Qingmo did not interact with her for so many years for nothing. Gu Qingjiu’s flimsy explanation might be able to convince her parents, but not Gu Qingmo.
Gu Qingjiu felt a little sorry for Gu Qingmo, but she couldn’t tell him the truth. Hence, she played rogue with him like she usually did. “I just wanted to serve in the military, there’s no particular reason. Brother, I’m doing fine here. Life in the military is not so bad. I plan on being a soldier for two years, then wait and see how it goes. Surely, it beats loafing around after opting out of the college entrance exams, right?”
Her voice was inaudible and soft, and it didn’t arouse any other suspicions in Gu Qingmo. But he still felt quite unhappy with it, so he pulled Gu Qingjiu’s arm and attempted to pull her somewhere. “This will not do. You’re a girl, and you’re also delicate. How can you join the military? It’s only been a month, you should stop training from now on. Who’s your superior?”
Gu Qingjiu unwillingly twisted her body and said with a frown, “Brother, I’ve made things clear…”
“Where did you come from, pretty boy? Why are you making a scene here? How dare you pull our female soldier under broad daylight? Maybe you’re tired of living!”
