Gu Qingjiu spent the weekend with He Niancheng, spending quality time with him.
She only returned to school on Sunday.
When she returned to school, she went to the dormitory first.
At the dormitory, she sent He Niancheng a message.
When she came back, she recalled that she left her military uniform at Yu Bao’er’s place.
Because that night when she left, she had left in Yu Bao’er’s clothes.
She forgot all about that all this while.
Thankfully, she had a spare set in the dormitory.
But since it already was summer, she had to change clothes quite frequently. Without special reasons, she couldn’t apply for a new military uniform.
She had to ask Bao’er to bring her clothes over…
Although the military school didn’t ask the students to pay for much, they forbid wastage.
They allocated resources reasonably.
Just then, He Niancheng replied.
“Mm.”
Seeing his message, a smile appeared on Gu Qingjiu’s face.
Messy footsteps sounded outside the door, as well as merry chatter.
Gu Qian and Chu Lian entered and saw a trace of a smile on Gu Qingjiu’s face before it vanished.
“Eh, Qingjiu? You’re back?”
Gu Qian was a tad surprised to see Gu Qingjiu back.
As for Chu Lian, when she caught the smile on Gu Qingjiu’s face, she said mysteriously, “Seems like you’re in a pretty good mood. Did something pleasant happen?”
“No.”
Gu Qingjiu glossed over it with a faint smile. “Have you guys eaten?”
“Of course!”
Gu Qian jumped over. “Didn’t you go and meet with Yin Ruoyi’s teacher? How did it go? Is the teacher very cool?”
Gu Qian’s eyes were filled with stars, as though she was fantasizing about it.
Gu Qingjiu burst out laughing. “The teacher is a senior.”
Though she wasn’t given special orders to keep it under wraps, Xiong Xuejian kept the teacher’s name a secret.
Hence, Gu Qingjiu naturally wouldn’t reveal it.
“Alright, alright.”
Gu Qian stopped asking. Chu Lian came up and mentioned another matter. “Gu Qian and I just came back. We heard other students mention that the list of the hundred selected signaller soldiers is out.”
Gu Qingjiu was astonished. “So fast?”
“Mm.”
Chu Lian’s expression turned serious. “I heard that they would announce the names tomorrow. I wonder if they selected me.”
Although she had great confidence in herself, Chu Lian still felt a tad uncertain now that the results were about to come out.
“Aiyah. If you get chosen, what am I to do?”
Gu Qian was kind of mad about this.
She didn’t even register for it.
Because she definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.
Chu Lian rolled her eyes. “Why are you so anxious? Even if I was selected, we could still play together for another three years. You can’t guarantee that after graduation, we’ll be assigned to the same place, anyway. We will inevitably go separate ways.”
‘We will inevitably go separate ways.’
That final sentence seemed to prick Gu Qian where it hurt.
She immediately fell silent.
Gu Qingjiu let out a sigh as she listened to their conversation.
No one could be certain about the future.
Just like how these four dorm mates’ fates would likely differ significantly in the future.
Just then, Gu Qingjiu’s phone vibrated.
It was a text message notification.
She thought that it was He Niancheng again.
But when she opened her phone, she was surprised to see the contents.
[ L: Head out of school and to Water Road No. 197 tomorrow at 9 pm. Lei Feng will pick you up. ]
After three seconds, the message was instantly deleted after having confirmed that Gu Qingjiu had seen the message.
