Gu Qingjiu’s mind drifted to the fact that she was going out with the Chief Instructor the next day.
First things first, she soaked her uniform in a basin.
She had two sets of uniforms. Even if it was winter, Gu Qingjiu had the habit of changing a set every two to three days.
Which of course meant that she had to diligently wash it.
After soaking her uniform, she turned around.
It was just in time for her to see Qi Xiaoran putting something under her pillow—something which had a silver glint to it.
That dagger-like shape… It looked like a knife…
Gu Qingjiu paused.
Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoran probably didn’t expect Gu Qingjiu to turn around so quickly. When their gazes met, Qi Xiaoran looked slightly panicked.
Gu Qingjiu’s gaze remained on her for only a few seconds, and then she retracted it.
Her gaze was cool as if she saw nothing, and then she walked back to her bed.
But in her mind, she already processed some possible reasons for Qi Xiaoran to hide a knife under her pillow.
This cold roommate of hers suddenly had an air of mystery shrouding her.
It was no wonder why Qi Xiaoran had been alone for such a long time.
But she never thought that Qi Xiaoran might use that knife against her.
After careful consideration, Gu Qingjiu pretended to have something to do and slipped out of the room…
Just so Qi Xiaoran could hide the knife somewhere else.
When she returned a little while later, Qi Xiaoran was no longer there.
She couldn’t resist her curiosity as she cast her gaze at Qi Xiaoran’s pillow, which was on her bed.
But she didn’t flip the pillow over.
‘Bang!!!’
Suddenly, a loud sound of someone kicking the door open resounded from behind her.
Since Gu Qingjiu was standing only a few centimeters away from the opened door…
She felt a gust of wind blowing against her back as the door was forcibly shoved open.
If she was any closer, the door would have collided with her.
“Where’s Qi Xiaoran?”
An arrogant voice sounded from behind her.
Gu Qingjiu frowned as she turned around. As expected, it was He Qiu.
Staring at that face, Gu Qingjiu’s gaze turned sharp. She replied coldly, “Not here!”
If it wasn’t for the constant reminder in her head that He Qiu’s father was the deputy commanding officer, Gu Qingjiu would have already fought her.
To kick the door open. Did she really think of this as her house?
Gu Qingjiu’s tone made He Qiu slightly unhappy. He Qiu looked at Gu Qingjiu as she sized her up before snorting. “Oh, you’re that genius sharpshooter?”
“Tsk tsk tsk. You look quite pretty. I didn’t get a good look at you the other day.”
Although it sounded like a compliment, when He Qiu said it, it seemed tainted with malicious intent.
Gu Qingjiu’s expression darkened. “You need something?”
Even if her father was the deputy commanding officer, it didn’t mean that she had to stoop so low to bow down to her.
She has had enough of this in her previous lifetime.
In this life, no matter who it was, she would make them pay for it if ever they angered her.
But these were just a minor conflict with words. There was no need for Gu Qingjiu to be too rash.
The tone she used just didn’t sound nice.
Gu Qingjiu’s tone upset He Qiu. “I’m just asking if Qi Xiaoran was here, did I hinder you in any way?”
He Qiu rolled her eyes and turned to leave. When she left, Gu Qingjiu even heard her say, “What a lousy attitude!”
Gu Qingjiu sneered before she closed the door.
What a lunatic!
Going by the odds of how often she came looking for trouble, it would be sooner or later before Gu Qingjiu had to request for a new door.
She turned around, preparing to wash the uniform which she had soaked.
The weather didn’t seem good that day as well…
