It stunned Gu Qingjiu.
Wasn’t the Chief Instructor someone who liked to keep a low profile? With what she had uttered, he was unhappy that Gu Qingjiu didn’t tell them about what happened.
Wasn’t he piquing everyone’s curiosities by saying such a statement?
Huo Yingcheng seemed to have a keen interest in it all of a sudden. Even Nan Yingxuan’s lips were curled in amusement. “What benefactor? Tell us about it!”
Gu Qingjiu stared at He Niancheng. Seeing that his gaze was still as cold and piercing, her heart trembled a little and she recounted what had happened earlier on.
“I ran into a trouble-making scoundrel earlier. Chief Instructor was the one who saved me from him. Else, I might not be in one piece now!”
Gu Qingjiu tried to make things sound as serious as possible, to create an atmosphere of tension.
Huo Yingcheng exploded instantly. “Who? Which scoundrel? He sure is bold!”
His sudden loud voice shocked the entire eatery, causing everyone to shiver.
Yu Bao’er, who hadn’t felt the tension yet, was nearly shocked to death with Huo Yingcheng’s loud voice.
Gu Qingjiu felt both touched and unsure whether to laugh or to cry.
Surprisingly, the Chief Instructor snickered. “It’s what you said that brought out the kindness in me. Didn’t you say rescuing someone from death is better than building a seven-storied pagoda for a god?”
Everyone was in a daze upon hearing that.
‘Chief Instructor, that righteous statement doesn’t sound like you!’
Gu Qingjiu, however, felt that the Chief Instructor was right.
After all, he was the little angel who had rescued her, so naturally she would go with whatever he said.
Hence Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Chief Instructor, you’re right. I’m grateful to you for saving me.”
Although he had merely stood there and said a word.
If it were someone else, it surely wouldn’t have that intimidating effect!
He Niancheng glanced at Gu Qingjiu, then looked towards Huo Yingcheng and Nan Yingxuan. “Are you done daydreaming? If you are, let’s go.”
“Aiyah. Why are we leaving so soon? It’s rare for us to run into Qingjiu and her friend. Can’t we stay a little longer…”
Huo Yingcheng grumbled, but He Niancheng had already left first. Nan Yingxuan tugged at Huo Yingcheng’s arm and turned to Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er. He said, “We’ll get going first. Have a good time.”
“Okay, Doctor Nan. Chief Instructor, goodbye! Commander Huo, goodbye!”
“Bye, commanders and Doctor Nan.”
After they had left, Yu Bao’er shook her head and clicked her tongue as she looked at Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, I really couldn’t tell. Little by little, you’ve gotten familiar with the Chief Instructor.”
“Gotten familiar?” Gu Qingjiu couldn’t quite understand her statement.
“Wasn’t the Chief Instructor just being helpful?”
“Being helpful?” Yu Bao’er laughed out loud in an exaggerated manner. “Qingjiu. If someone else had gotten into a fight with a scoundrel in front of the Chief Instructor, they would be considered lucky if they weren’t punished. You even dared to seek help from the Chief Instructor!”
Never mind how unbelievable everything was, it did happen after all.
The cold and aloof Chief Instructor helped Gu Qingjiu for the second time?
Even if the first time was because of Gu Qingjiu’s older brother, it was obvious he was making an exception this time.
With the fact that the Chief Instructor was willing to bother with Gu Qingjiu, Yu Bao’er felt that there was more to this than meets the eye.
