It stunned Huo Yingcheng.
“Major-general, you weren’t this type of person before!”
He was merely joking! How could the major-general take it seriously?
He wasn’t interested in Gu Qingjiu!
“I’ll help you settle this matter, lest you keep thinking about her.”
It turned out He Niancheng was sick of hearing him mumble about it.
Huo Yingcheng felt like he had no hopes of clearing his name.
He was unwilling to go, hence He Niancheng ordered another instructor to call Gu Qingjiu over.
Standing among the crowd, Gu Qingjiu felt that someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and discovered it was an instructor from another class.
She paused in surprise. In a hushed tone of voice, he said, “You’re Gu Qingjiu, aren’t you? Come over, your Chief Instructor is looking for you.”
It baffled Gu Qingjiu.
She had no idea why the Chief Instructor was looking for her. If she remembered correctly, be it the words the Chief Instructor said to her before, she was actually all that familiar with the Chief Instructor?
But one had no choice but to obey military orders, so Gu Qingjiu could only follow him.
He didn’t lead her to somewhere on the field, but the Chief Instructor’s office.
In the military, every instructor had an office of their own, just like a principal would in a school.
He Niancheng was also here. To show his uniqueness, he occupied a room, and the adjacent office belonged to Huo Yingcheng.
When the instructor brought Gu Qingjiu over, she saw that it wasn’t just He Niancheng in the office—Huo Yingcheng was also here.
The two of them seemed inseparable.
All of a sudden, a weird thought struck Gu Qingjiu.
However, she didn’t express it out. With her legs and back standing straight, she saluted them. “Hello, Chief Instructor! Hello, Commander Huo!”
The instructor who had escorted her quietly left.
When Huo Yingcheng saw Gu Qingjiu enter, he let out a dry cough then shouted, “Qingjiu, come, come, come. Come over and have a cup of tea, just the three of us. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Gu Qingjiu was a little confused. Had she turned so chummy with Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor without her realizing it?
She walked over, a perplexed look in her clear eyes as she looked towards He Niancheng. “Chief Instructor, is there a reason you’re looking for me?”
She was used to being straightforward and didn’t wish to beat around the bush.
“Yes!”
He Niancheng pursed his lips, but his gaze was unfathomable, remaining cold and imposing as usual. However, what he said nearly made Gu Qingjiu split her sides laughing.
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
F*ck!
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
What was the matter with the Chief Instructor?
Looking at the shocked expression on the young lady’s face, Huo Yingcheng coughed like he was about to suffer a stroke. He hurriedly explained, “Qingjiu, don’t listen to the nonsense your Chief Instructor is spewing. He’s…”
“Gu Qingjiu, please answer the question the Chief Instructor asked!”
The cold order made Gu Qingjiu subconsciously straighten her body as she shook her head. “I do not like him!”
This was a ridiculous question. How could she possibly like Huo Yingcheng?
Moreover…
She looked towards Huo Yingcheng with hesitation, then towards the cold Chief Instructor.
Was Commander Huo and Chief Instructor at odds with each other, and she was the cannon fodder?
He Niancheng turned to look at Huo Yingcheng, expressionless. “I’ve helped you ask her. Regretfully, she has no interest in you.”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
He didn’t care about this question. The crux was, why was that lass Qingjiu’s gaze kind of funny when she looked at him and the major-general?
