At the thought of how a piece of her own flesh had possibly been removed, Gu Qingjiu felt her heart turn cold.
No one would hope to have no scars on their body.
If a piece of flesh had come off, leaving scars was only a secondary concern.
Her greatest fear was that she might not recover from it, and she was afraid that it would affect her wrist.
If her intuition and accuracy in shooting were to decline because of that, it would be her greatest pain.
As though reading Gu Qingjiu’s concerns, Helian Niancheng said, “I already asked the doctor about your condition. Mainly, your arm has severe external injuries, but the nerves and all that aren’t damaged. You’ll be fine after some rest. But the wound is very deep, so you need to be careful in many areas over this period to avoid infection.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingjiu heaved a sigh of relief.
An injury wasn’t a big deal, so long as she could recover from it.
If she, someone who enlisted in the military, couldn’t even take this bit of injury, it would be too squeamish of her.
“Glad to hear that. When I go back in a few days, I’ll just tell my mom I fell and hurt my arm.”
Upon hearing this, Helian Niancheng looked up at her. “You’re so severely injured, and you’re still going back?”
“I have no choice. I’m on a break from school, and my dad hasn’t seen me in a few months. I’ve got to go back and visit him.”
Since Gu Qingjiu put it this way, Helian Niancheng naturally couldn’t oppose it anymore.
Actually, Gu Qingjiu felt some resentment in her heart. It was not possible for there to be zero conflict between a young couple.
Moreover, there was such a substantial difference between her and Helian Niancheng.
Not that she blamed Helian Niancheng for not telling her earlier, but she somehow couldn’t be totally okay with that.
Originally, Gu Qingjiu had wanted to ask him if he wanted to go back to Dayi City with her to look.
But add to the fact that she had injuries, she could only forget about it.
Helian Niancheng didn’t speak after that.
He merely sat quietly by her bed and looked at her wounds.
Until someone came in from the back.
“Qingjiu, you’re awake?”
The person who came in to see her was Zong Wenjia from their department.
Gu Qingjiu was shocked that even Zong Wenjia came to visit her.
But when Zong Wenjia saw Helian Niancheng, a very visible hint of shock flashed across her eyes.
“Sister Wenjia.”
Since Zong Wenjia was older than her, Gu Qingjiu greeted her Sister Wenjia in a mild tone, a tone she rarely used.
Helian Niancheng, however, continued to gaze in Gu Qingjiu’s direction, clearly didn’t bother to spare the newly arrived visitor a gaze.
Although Zong Wenjia was very shocked to see Helian Niancheng, she very quickly restrained her emotions.
With a smile, she said, “Mm, good that you’re awake. I just came by to look at you. My younger brother Wenxuan is guarding this room. If you need help, you can look for him.”
Ever since she approved Gu Qingjiu’s capability after that mission, Zong Wenjia’s attitude towards Gu Qingjiu was much better than when they first met.
Especially after this mission.
Although she didn’t know the details, she knew much more secret information about the department than Gu Qingjiu did.
“Alright, thank you, Sister Wenjia.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled at Zong Wenjia.
As she had been unconscious for three days prior, her smile seemed feeble, sickly, and pale, making one can’t help but want to pull her into their arms and protect her.
Even Zong Wenjia felt that such a girl ought to be cherished and raised in a greenhouse.
She couldn’t imagine what that girl felt the first time she killed someone.
Zong Wenjia knew that it must be a complicated transition process.
It might make a person break down.
But Gu Qingjiu seemed perfectly normal. It was really immensely scary.
