Gu Xiaoxi entered the gates of the military unit and felt life was very comfortable.
As for Quan Shaoqing, who unexpectedly went from a breeder to her future husband, her impression of him was still rather good.
As long as he was doing well, their relationship could deepen further.
As for love, she didn’t know what it should look like, but that was okay, everything could be taken slow.
She locked Xiao Xiao in the kennel, then returned to the dormitory where Qi Yu immediately approached her, grabbed her hand, and hurriedly explained, "Xiao Xi, Yun Xiao has been put into solitary confinement, and it’s said she might be expelled."
"Expelled? That serious?" Gu Xiaoxi frowned. It shouldn’t be, she thought, since when she had defied military orders, she was only punished by being sent here.
"It’s true, the company commander’s new secretary said so this morning; the company commander has already prepared the report, ready to have her discharged. Everyone is talking about it."
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then stood up, left the dormitory, and headed to the solitary confinement room.
Two male soldiers stood at the door of the confinement room. Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi arrive, they immediately stopped her with seriousness, "Gu Xiaoxi, you can’t wander around here. You’d better go back quickly!"
"Oh! You know my name, huh! Handsome guy, I’m just here to check on my comrade. Otherwise, I might go find the company commander for a ’verbal permit’," Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. That brilliantly smiling face always possessed a lethal threat.
Here, everyone knew that although the company commander appeared cold and ruthless, he was actually very good to Gu Xiaoxi in private.
He turned a blind eye to her causing trouble, staying out at night, and making a ruckus with Xiao Xiao.
Anyone with a bit of sense knew that Gu Xiaoxi had some backing.
The ability to strut around the military base was proof enough that she was not to be trifled with.
The two soldiers hesitated for a moment but after exchanging a look, they stepped aside.
It would have been the same if Gu Xiaoxi had gone to find the company commander. Better to just let her have a few minutes.
Yun Xiao lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, not having slept all night.
Suddenly, the door of the solitary confinement room made a noise, startling her into sitting up abruptly in bed.
Then she saw Gu Xiaoxi, dressed in a military uniform, walk in with a captivating sparkle in her eyes.
Yun Xiao felt that Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes were very bright, and they unconsciously made people feel intimidated. Especially when she looked over, like a scanner, as if she wanted to dissect her flesh and analyze her soul.
While Yun Xiao observed Gu Xiaoxi, Gu Xiaoxi was also watching her.
In Gu Xiaoxi’s heart, Yun Xiao was a very solitary, very quiet woman. Stubborn in character and not good at communicating, this made her almost invisible in the military base.
To be honest, she wasn’t suited to stay in a group, even less suited to be a soldier; if she couldn’t integrate into the group, she wouldn’t be able to survive here.
Staying any longer would simply waste a few more years of her youth.
"We’re dorm mates, after all, so I came to see how you’re doing. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll help as much as I can," Gu Xiaoxi stood in front of her, arms crossed, chin lifted, her gaze falling on her indifferent cheek.
Yun Xiao quietly clenched her fists, her eyes showing a struggle. After pausing for a good while, she finally said with determination, "I want to stay. Can you help me?"
"What?" Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting her to speak out... let alone make such a request.
"I want to stay!" This time, Yun Xiao’s tone was even more resolute. Her cold eyes darkened.
She knew that Gu Xiaoxi was favored by the company commander, and only with her help in speaking up would she be able to stay.
