Zong Wenjia didn’t know that killing someone didn’t stir up many ripples within Gu Qingjiu.
What stirred up the emotions in her was purely another matter.
The person she killed was a convict.
And she had only killed him when her life was in the line. To preserve her own life, of course, she had to do that.
However, she didn’t feel any fear. At that moment, the perverse enjoyment in her heart was one reason Gu Qingjiu found it hard to accept.
Zong Wenjia left after visiting Gu Qingjiu.
After she left, Gu Qingjiu felt hungry, so she asked Helian Niancheng to buy her food.
“Chief Instructor, I’m hungry. Can you buy me something to eat?”
Although there was a considerable disparity in class between them, Gu Qingjiu realized that she didn’t feel any pressure ordering Helian Niancheng around.
However, the aforementioned ordered person raised his head in disbelief.
As though Gu Qingjiu had just said something bold.
But when he saw the injured Gu Qingjiu, Helian Niancheng swallowed down the words of refusal. “What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to buy it for you.”
“Why must you get someone else to buy it? I want you to buy it for me. Just something bland will do.”
After all, since Helian Niancheng was buying it, she couldn’t have too many requirements.
“…”
Helian Niancheng stood up, looking as though he was holding himself back from reacting. “Okay. I’ll buy it for you.”
Not that he felt that Gu Qingjiu was unreasonable, but it was because it was Gu Qingjiu that had asked him that he willingly went.
Seeing Helian Niancheng’s manner, Gu Qingjiu’s mood lightened up, and she smiled.
After Helian Niancheng went out, Gu Qingjiu phoned home.
After postponing the date of her return by a few days, she called for the nurse.
The nurse seemed baffled. “Miss, are you certain you want to see the photos of your injury when you were hospitalized?”
It wasn’t that they couldn’t fulfill her request, but it was just hard to imagine why anyone would want that.
When Gu Qingjiu got injured, it was dark at night; hence she couldn’t see clearly. But she felt that it definitely wouldn’t be a pretty sight.
When patients were hospitalized, the hospital would take a photo of the patient’s original wounds as a record to make subsequent comparisons.
The patient could ask to see these photos. But…
“Miss, I’d advise you not to look at your photo.”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head and insisted, “I want to see.”
She gazed at the nurse with deer-like sparkly eyes. “Sister Nurse, I want to see it. I want to commit it to memory. Can I?”
The nurse was speechless.
Such weird patients weren’t commonly seen.
Eager to have her attended to as quickly as possible, Lu Ziyang had sent her to the nearest large hospital.
She stayed in a VIP ward with stricter confidentiality clauses, but not to the extent of a military hospital.
The nurse hence nodded. “I’ll retrieve it for you. Hang on a moment.”
Gu Qingjiu revealed a vibrant smile. “Thank you, Sister Nurse.”
After the nurse went out, her smile collapsed.
She felt a bit repulsed by her act.
She was surprised that acting cute would work, but at the same time, she nearly made herself gag.
Moreover, it indeed was quite rare for someone to act cute for such a bizarre matter.
When the nurse came back with that photo of her original wound, Gu Qingjiu felt a tinge of regret.
It was because the wound was very disgusting.
But after getting over that sense of disgust, she felt her heart tremble involuntarily… she felt excitement.
