When she walked out of the room, Mr. Gu—who stood in the middle of the living room—saw her at a glance.
"Qingjiu!"
Mr. Gu called out to her, his voice was heavy with concern.
"Your mom told me that you wanted to join the military. Is it true?"
Mr. Gu was a gentle and elegant man who was a very responsible figure in their family. He was an executive of a small company, and his salary could easily provide for the family and at the same time ensure that they could live without anxiety.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. "Yes, Dad. I want to join the military."
She said in a serious tone of voice, showing that she was not joking.
She was usually slightly wooden and gentle in front of outsiders, so her serious attitude at the moment could make people feel her determination.
Mr. Gu furrowed his eyebrows and when he was hesitant, Gu Qingjiu looked up at Qi Yuefeng. "Mom, where's Brother?"
Gu Qingjiu had an elder brother, Gu Qingmo, who was now 21 years old.
"Your brother is at the university in the Capital. Have you forgotten about it?"
Qi Yuefeng was a little surprised.
Gu Qingjiu understood in an instant and was shocked. She had not seen her brother for a long time, so she had forgotten that her brother was still in university and was at school.
She raised her head and gave a faint smile. "Sorry, Mom. I'm muddled with sleep. I dreamt that Brother came home."
"Silly child." Qi Yuefeng came over and touched Gu Qingjiu's head. "Do you miss your brother that much? He will be back for the new year, if you want to see him, don't join the military."
There was a coaxing tone in her voice. In the end, she still wanted to persuade Gu Qingjiu to dismiss her idea.
Because if she joined the military, it was likely that she would not be able to return for the new year.
It was already November and October in the lunar calendar. There were only two months left.
"No."
Gu Qingjiu's determination made Qi Yuefeng feel slightly depressed.
Mr. Gu saw Gu Qingjiu's behavior and his eyes had a probing look.
Qi Yuefeng did not feel much because she had seen it often, but Mr. Gu felt that there was something different about Gu Qingjiu that day.
He knew that his daughter was slightly stiff and did not care about foreign affairs. Now, he felt that she had a different air to her.
But, this was still his daughter. There was no mistake about it!
"If you want to join the military, we'll let you do as you like."
Mr. Gu calmly said. He did not bear to go against his daughter's wishes. "There's a three-month assessment period in the camp. If you fail it, come back. I'll find some connections for you to learn a skill and find a job, or you can go to the Capital to find your brother."
She had not heard such warm words for a long time.
Indulging her and at the same time considerate.
Gu Qingjiu was moved for a moment.
Afraid of being seen by Mr. Gu, she soon smiled. "Thank you, Dad. It has always been my dream to join the military. I just didn't tell you. I should have told you before."
Joining the military was her only choice now.
Only then could she avoid the Yu family, but it did not mean that Gu Qingjiu would not take joining the military seriously.
There was another thing. She had to become strong and stand out!
Otherwise, how was she going to fight against the Yu family!
"Don't bottle up everything in your heart and talk to us. If not, how can we know what you're thinking?"
When Gu Qingjiu heard Qi Yuefeng's words, a trace of gentleness flashed past her eyes.
Looking at her parents in front of her, she must protect them well in this life!
After agreeing to Gu Qingjiu joining the military, Mr. Gu asked, "Qingjiu, do you want to discuss with your form teacher about you joining the military?"
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. "Dad, the form teacher won't care about these things. It's fine for her to just know about it."
For her form teacher, Gu Qingjiu now belonged to students who had been given up and was not qualified to enter a good university. Even if she had produced satisfactory results, her form teacher would not care about it at all.
As for this form teacher, Gu Qingjiu could not remember what she looked like at all. She only remembered that her form teacher did not like her.
Mr. Gu nodded and said, "When you go to school tomorrow, remember to tell this to the teacher."
"Mm."
They would have dinner soon after Mr. Gu came back. Gu Qingjiu returned to her room and saw that her cell phone was vibrating.
It slightly puzzled Gu Qingjiu.
In her memory, only a handful of people would call her, and that included her parents.
Was it Brother?
Happiness sparkled in Gu Qingjiu's eyes and she hurried forward, picking up her phone on the desk. When she glanced at it, the call was from an unknown number.
The address book on her phone was extremely simple. There was nothing else besides her parents and brother.
Gu Qingjiu was stunned for a moment upon seeing this unknown number, she picked it up afterward.
"Hello?"
As soon as her clear voice came out, an angry voice came from the other end of the line. "Gu Qingjiu, what's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you to give me your distribution form in the afternoon? Why did you leave school?"
It was the class monitor—Zhong Xiaoxiao!
Gu Qingjiu was a stranger to this outstanding class monitor in her memory. Except for occasionally exchanging a few words, she remembered that in her last life this monitor did not talk to her about anything else other than school matters.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well so I went home. I've filled out the form, but I've decided to join the military. I'll need to trouble Class Monitor to tell the form teacher first."
There was a hint of reservation in Gu Qingjiu's voice, and yet there was a slight coldness to it. Upon hearing her tone of voice, Zhong Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned and moreover surprised by Gu Qingjiu's choice.
"Join the military? Gu Qingjiu, are you crazy?"
Gu Qingjiu to join the military?
That was such a joke.
Usually, she would be panting after running two laps in PE class. Now, she wanted to go join the military?
Wasn't this funny?
"Gu Qingjiu, are you sure you're not teasing me?"
"I'm not, Class Monitor!"
Faced with Zhong Xiaoxiao's impolite question, Gu Qingjiu was slightly impatient. Even if her decision was surprising, Zhong Xiaoxiao's tone was still slightly rude.
This matter had nothing to do with Zhong Xiaoxiao.
Perhaps she was stunned after hearing Gu Qingjiu's tone, Zhong Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably angry. "If you want to join the military then just join it, why do you have to be so fierce!"
Then she hung up.
Gu Qingjiu put her phone back onto the desk. When she closed her eyes, a trace of strange light flashed past.
It was because it was so unimaginable, many people would not believe it. But it did not matter. Now, she would not care about anyone's opinion. All she had to do was to be herself.
She must not live like her last life, so cowardly and incompetent!
"Qingjiu, time for dinner!"
Qi Yuefeng's gentle voice came from outside the door. Gu Qingjiu's heart softened in an instant the moment she heard it.
Fortunately, the family she loved was still by her side in this life.
