"… Oh, Gu Qingjiu… Your name is Gu Qingjiu?"
Huo Yingcheng repeated Gu Qingjiu's name. Just as he was thinking about which characters her name was, he saw Gu Qingjiu staring at him with a weird gaze. Her small face was terribly tensed and she had pursed her lips tightly as she got ready to leave once more.
Huo Yingcheng finally regained his senses. Wasn't he being a little weird?
Even if he was the one who scared Gu Qingjiu yesterday, wasn't stopping her several times and preventing her from leaving seemed like something a perverted uncle would do?
F*ck it!
He was only twenty-three today!
Huo Yingcheng cursed in his mind. When he saw Gu Qingjiu leaving this time, he didn't stop her anymore.
He only thought that this young girl was calm and had a rather unique personality.
She didn't look too old, but why was she so cold and indifferent like an older person would be?
This aura felt a little familiar even!
Just as Huo Yingcheng was thinking about it, a man whose appearance was enough to make others scream out loud, walked out from a small supermarket by the road.
His legs were long and he looked like he was about 180 centimeters tall. He was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He was holding onto a limited-edition lighter from the Z-brand in his hand. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed together, as he exuded a distant aura that made people respect him and stay away. After he came out, his narrow eyes remained on Gu Qingjiu for a second.
"Since when did you like this type of girl?"
His voice was cool and thin but sounded as sweet and refreshing as spring water as well—like a pail of cold water had been poured over a person's heart. It made others feel extremely refreshed and awake.
"What 'this type of girl'?"
Huo Yingcheng immediately felt that He
With a cold laugh, He Niancheng pulled the door open and got back onto the car as his slender fingers played with the pretty silver lighter. Seeing that he went in with a lighter and came back out with only that same lighter, Huo Yingcheng instantly gloated, "Why? You didn't manage to buy it?"
"This is such a rural and small city. They have too little things."
At the mention of this, the aura around He Niancheng became even colder and stronger. "Exactly when will we be able to get in?"
"I don't know either!" Huo Yingcheng was also a little angered as he replied, "That a**hole, He Site said that he would be able to get it settled with China latest by this morning, but I have yet to receive any calls. He's not answering my calls either!"
He Niancheng was speechless.
He Niancheng didn't speak as he merely played with the lighter quickly. Seeing this, Huo Yingcheng asked, "You don't smoke, so why are you always playing with a lighter?"
In the words of China, was he trying to act cool?
He Niancheng didn't even look up. The aura around him turned darker and colder as he simply replied, "You're too talkative."
Huo Yingcheng shivered as a chill ran up his back, choosing to shut up in obedience.
Gu Qingjiu returned home. She didn't take what happened on her way back to the heart. After staying at home for two days by sticking by Qi Yuefeng's side the entire time, Gu Qingjiu woke up early in the morning on the 1st. She got everything ready and chose to wear a simple pair of jeans and a sweater instead of her school uniform before she went to school.
The December weather was extremely chilling.
The streets were still bare of pedestrians as a rare fog lingered in the air. It was the type of fog that prevented people from seeing others clearly once they were a few meters away.
The moment Gu Qingjiu arrived at school, she saw an attention-catching military-only truck parked in front of the school.
In the foggy weather, the truck, covered with military-green-colored leather, exuded a vague and different grandeur.
Seeing that military vehicle, a weird feeling suddenly rose in Gu Qingjiu's heart.
It was as if she had seen a bright future waiting for her.
She slightly suppressed her agitated emotions as she took out her school badge and entered the school.
In her previous life, Gu Qingjiu left school and never returned. That was why she didn't know how the selection process went.
Just as she was contemplating whether she should go to class to ask her form teacher about it, her phone loudly vibrated.
She took it out to glance at it. It was a message from an unknown number: 'Come to the experiment building. The military personnel is here.'
Although Gu Qingjiu never saved that number, she clearly remembered that it was Zhong Xiaoxiao's phone number.
Never expecting Zhong Xiaoxiao to be so nice to send her a message, Gu Qingjiu felt her heart tighten a little.
Following Zhong Xiaoxiao's message, Gu Qingjiu walked towards the school's experiment building. Indeed, she saw several soldiers standing in the newly built, white building. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms, standing straight and tall as their expressions were stern and serious. They exuded a jadedness and strictness that soldiers had. It made others have the urge to follow them just by looking at them.
It was like they would straighten their backs as they walked subconsciously.
Several young soldiers were standing by the entrance of the experiment building while small groups of students went into the building by the stairway they were guarding. Gu Qingjiu felt a little hesitant. After stopping, she sent a message to Zhong Xiaoxiao.
'Class Leader, do I just go into the building and go up?'
After about a minute, Zhong Xiaoxiao replied: 'Yes. We've already given your Splitting form to the military personnel. You just have to go to the third floor, enter the classroom and give them your information.'
Zhong Xiaoxiao's explanation was rather detailed.
Gu Qingjiu instantly felt a good impression of her grow in her heart.
She replied, 'Thank you, Class Leader.'
She was a straight-forward person. As long as they helped her, she would remember them forever. Zhong Xiaoxiao's action may seem like she was just doing it out of convenience, but if it were others, they might not even help Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu went up the stairway. Indeed, the soldiers that were guarding the stairway didn't stop her. She went up to the third floor and saw a long queue. The place was extremely crowded, as the queue lined all the way to the classroom door in the corner.
Her heart trembled. She didn't expect so many people would choose to enter the military.
People who were queuing were mostly from other classes and there were a few dozen of them.
There were a few who knew Gu Qingjiu, but none of them spoke to her as they chatted and laughed amongst themselves. Gu Qingjiu didn't care. She looked down and stared at the view outside of the building. She slowly started to recall what happened in the past.
When people were lonely and bored, it seemed like they would think about many bad things.
Unavoidably, Gu Qingjiu thought about Su Lingche again.
That warm and gentle boy who appeared by her side and silently gave her concern when she had returned to the Yu family and was looked down upon by everyone.
She could still remember Su Lingche's voice and smile. She recalled his handsome face and his soft mutters by her ear. Thinking about it now, she actually felt that the voice ringing in her ears sounded extremely gentle, so much so that she could get drunk with it.
However, the world is ever changing. When he chose to not believe in her, watched her be framed by the Yu family and be jailed, and even got married to Yu Shiwei, the love Gu Qingjiu once had for this man had turned into absolute hatred.
As she sunk into her memories and subconsciously moved forward with the queue, the number of persons queuing in front of her decreased and decreased. After some time, a bright and loud voice rang by Gu Qingjiu's ear. "Next!"
