He merely let her out of sight for a short while, and something like that happened.
Gu Qingjiu nodded, feeling a little guilty. “I didn’t know either.”
Who would’ve expected something so unlucky to happen while simply buying some food to eat outside?
Tormented by a splitting headache, Gu Qingjiu felt a terrible sensation in her heart.
She had no idea why, but she just wanted the Chief Instructor to stay by her side.
She reached out a hand and grabbed the Chief Instructor’s palm, and she softly said, “Chief Instructor, do you want to sleep here for a while?”
“No need, I’m not tired.”
He Niancheng reached out to circle Gu Qingjiu’s waist. “Rest for a while. Take a shower only when you get better.”
After all, the weather was getting hotter. Since she laid on her sweat for an entire night, Gu Qingjiu must have felt very uncomfortable.
“What do you wish to eat now? I’ll get someone to buy it for you.”
Gu Qingjiu gave it some thought. Since she didn’t have much appetite, she wanted to eat something appetizing. Hence, she said, “I want something sour… preserved carrots or something like that.”
Something appetizing and light.
It was the first time He Niancheng heard of the term ‘preserved carrots.’
After a slight pause, without even asking what preserved carrots were, he sent a text message to his subordinate.
In any case, they would take care of it.
Although Gu Qingjiu wasn’t in a single room, she was the only patient in the ward at that moment.
From time to time, someone passing by the ward would glance inside in curiosity.
With the people loitering around the place, something fatal occurred to Gu Qingjiu.
She stammered, “Chief… Chief Instructor, did my dorm mates send me here last night?”
“Mm.”
As though realizing it too, He Niancheng curled his lips.
“Then… then why are you the one accompanying me instead?”
“Your Commanding Officer informed me. They left after I came. Your classmates are resting somewhere else right now.”
These words seemed to conclude something.
Gu Qingjiu was dumbfounded.
Surely, the three of them weren’t dumb to not realize it?
Moreover, Chu Lian and Qi Xiaoran were around.
The Chief Instructor of the first-year students, taking care of a sick student for the entire night by himself.
What did this mean?
Moreover, Chu Lian and the rest were aware that she had a boyfriend.
Wasn’t this as good as making it known that He Niancheng was her boyfriend?
“There’s no use in you worrying about it now. You were the one who exposed it yourself. They said you kept calling for me while you were unconscious.”
But he didn’t specify whether she was calling out the name or his title.
But this was no longer important.
Anyone who wasn’t stupid would know that by Chief Instructor, it could only possibly refer to him.
“…”
Gu Qingjiu was dumbfounded.
As though struck by lightning, she froze for a good while.
He Niancheng narrowed his eyes and caressed her eyes. “Why? Are you unhappy that they finally found out about me?”
Gu Qingjiu had difficulty even in speaking. “But… But the Commanding Officer was also around.”
“Yes, so that means he also knows about it now.”
He Niancheng said matter-of-factly, “They all know about it.”
Gu Qingjiu was too deep for tears.
“What are you afraid of? They won’t dare to bring up this matter in front of you.”
With him being so intimidating, who would dare to discuss it?
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Though they wouldn’t dare to discuss it in front of her, they couldn’t stop them from spreading this wildly behind their backs!
Would a Chief Instructor not face punishment for dating a female student?
