The young woman in front of him had a face as beautiful as lilies. Accompanied by that calm expression of hers, it showed a contrast of maturity when compared with her peers.
But even so, He Niancheng simply offered her a glance and then stood up. “Doctor Nan is not here at the moment. You might have to wait for a little.”
Even when he was answering questions, his way of talking seemed to lack emotion as compared to other people.
A straightforward indifference.
If he were to talk to a person, it would seem like an honor so great one wouldn’t be able to comprehend.
After He Niancheng had spoken, he remained in the infirmary instead of leaving.
This atmosphere was a little awkward for Gu Qingjiu, but once she thought it through, there was no reason to be so. Wasn’t it fine for her to just treat him as if he didn’t exist?
Which was why Gu Qingjiu simply stood by the side of the door to the infirmary, waiting for Doctor Nan’s return.
She could still distinctly feel her body sore from the training, but because of He Niancheng’s presence, she did not dare to sit down. Her fingers carefully pressed down on the sides of her thighs to ease the soreness in them.
He Niancheng walked around in the infirmary as if searching for something.
Gu Qingjiu stood by the side, hearing the sounds of glass bottles clanging against one another.
Sometimes, when there is no task to focus on, time seems to pass by extremely slowly.
These times were often arduous.
With the Chief Instructor around, Gu Qingjiu felt that the stress was on another level.
The things that had happened in her previous life made her calmer and more stable. But in front of the man, she still felt uneasy.
She didn’t even dare to cough.
After a while, the rummaging sounds stopped.
After he had found what he was looking for, He Niancheng didn’t stay any longer and left the infirmary with a straight back and a small bottle of brown ointment in his hands.
When he walked past Gu Qingjiu, a strong breeze brushed against her.
“Whew!”
The moment he left, Gu Qingjiu let out a breath of relief, and as she looked at the electronic clock in the infirmary, she was surprised to know that it had only been three minutes!
Those three minutes felt like forever for Gu Qingjiu.
She could finally sit down and wait. Not long after, a white-robed figure walked past the small courtyard not too far from the infirmary.
It was slightly strange that no one else came into the infirmary after a long period of time.
Gu Qingjiu stood up upon seeing him and saluted. “Doctor Nan.”
After she had called out, she was trapped in a daze. Nan Yingxuan and Su Lingche emitted the same aura.
“Hm?”
Nan Yingxuan turned around and looked towards Gu Qingjiu.
At that moment, only one thing surfaced in Gu Qingjiu’s mind.
It was as if pear blossoms reflected in spring’s waters.
He looked handsome and gentle, and he had an indescribable feeling to him. He emitted the same gentle aura as Su Lingche, but upon closer look, the man had something Su Lingche couldn’t compare to.
Besides being mesmerizing and gentle, Doctor Nan had something to him that made people respect him.
Beauty lies within and not simply on the surface.
Words used to describe women seemed to fit him perfectly as well.
But on him, those words held no traces of femininity.
Upon seeing Gu Qingjiu, a trace of amusement shone in Nan Yingxuan’s eyes. “I remember you. You’re the recruit from the other day. From what I heard from Commander Huo, your name’s Gu Qingjiu, right?”
