Chapter 41: Hello, Chief Instructor (2)

Gu Qingjiu did not know how she had strayed off.

Holding Yu Bao'er's coat, she stood in the middle of the dense forest. She could not see the way clearly, and as she looked around, she looked a little silly.

She went the wrong way and the place wasn't small, so naturally, no one was around.

At this moment, Gu Qingjiu vaguely heard voices coming from the left.

To her left was a large bamboo forest and it had already turned into a withered yellow in the winter. A thick layer of bamboo leaves had covered the ground, and it made it look like a golden carpet.

Gu Qingjiu walked towards the target. She wanted to see if the person talking was from the training camp, if so, she could ask them for the way back.

Her shoes made a rustling sound when she stepped on the fallen bamboo leaves. Before Gu Qingjiu could get close, a tall and burly figure appeared behind the bamboo forest. At first, he was a little wary, but when he saw Gu Qingjiu, he was stunned.

"Fatty?"

Gu Qingjiu was surprised to see the other party, but when she heard the nickname he called her, she was a little annoyed. She frowned and said coldly, "Are you that rude?"

He only knew how to jab at her wound.

She would lose weight sooner or later, but she did not want to have such a nickname.

She was not considered very fat!

And this person was that white-haired young man she met on the street. Although his hairstyle did not change much, that tuft of white hair had disappeared. It was obvious that it had been dyed black.

"Sorry, it's a slip of my tongue. I forgot. You're Gu Qingjiu, right?"

The young man rubbed his hands and laughed, embarrassed. "I've seen you so many times, but I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Huo Yingcheng. You can call be Brother Cheng."

After his reminder, Gu Qingjiu looked down and noticed that his military jacket was embroidered with the insignia of a three-star officer. Gu Qingjiu still remembered the rank division of the officers in the training camp that Chen Haoyang had shown them, so as to avoid them not recognizing the higher-ups.

This person was a second rank assistant commander!

Gu Qingjiu immediately lowered her eyes and saluted to Huo Yingcheng. "I'm sorry to have offended you, Assistant Commander! I didn't recognize you just now..."

Huo Yingcheng was amused by her last words. Seeing Gu Qingjiu looking at his badge and became submitting herself after a split second, he was even happier. "It's alright. But you're such an interesting girl. Why did you come here?"

Gu Qingjiu was silent. She felt a little embarrassed to say that she was lost, but she did not dare not to say it.

"I took the wrong path..."

"No wonder!"

Huo Yingcheng seemed easier to talk to, which was quite different from his ferocious attitude when he faced the passers-by the other day. When he finished speaking, he suddenly said to the area beside him, "Commander He, your new recruit is here. She got lost. I don't know the way around here, but you came here two or three times before. Can you give her directions?"

Gu Qingjiu noticed that on the other side, bamboo leaves covered which, there seemed to be a slender and tall figure in military uniform.

She knew Huo Yingcheng would not be talking to himself.

But...

Hearing Huo Yingcheng's words, the man slowly turned around, revealing his cold and yet handsome face. He was full of temptation from the abstinence coming from him and he looked at Gu Qingjiu with eyes that were clear as water.

Gu Qingjiu paused and then saluted. "Hello, Chief Instructor!"

Chapter 42: Opinions Behind One's Back

After saluting, Gu Qingjiu put her hands on the sides of her thighs, looking very obedient.

Her eyes were lowered and she did not look at He Niancheng.

It was silent for a while.

The air around seemed to have become thin and oppressive, and it was Huo Yingcheng who broke this silence.

"Don't tell me you thought that she's following you? We've been here for an hour and you don't have to show such an expression while pointing out the way..."

It seemed that there was a teasing tone behind his words.

Gu Qingjiu had her eyes lowered and still did not look up, but she could feel her scalp tingling. She could guess that He Niancheng's expression must be very frightening at that moment.

After about a minute, without any emotion in his tone of voice, He Niancheng said, "If you walk 273 meters to the west, you'll see the nearest road. Just follow the road if you want to go up and down the mountain."

Gu Qingjiu said nothing.

Huo Yingcheng was silent as well. It was crazy. How did he measure such a precise distance?

Gu Qingjiu did not want to bother this chief instructor anymore, but she had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, Chief Instructor. I can't tell which is North, South, East, and West. I only know left, right, up and down!"

The more she said it, the more confident she got.

People from Gu Qingjiu's generation basically would not care if it was the North, South, East or West when they went out. The only navigation they could distinguish was left, right, up, and down, even though they knew the words North, South, East, and West.

Up was North, down was South, left was West, and right was East. But who knew how to tell which direction it was?

Huo Yingcheng could not hold it in and laughed.

"You can't even tell the direction. How do your instructors teach you? Walk up!"

There was a trace of fierceness in his cold voice, and Gu Qingjiu shivered hearing it.

However, she still felt that if he told her to walk up from the start, she would not have asked.

Her instructor did not teach them these!

"Thank you, Chief Instructor!"

Gu Qingjiu still thanked him politely and then strode upwards.

Huo Yingcheng saw that she was walking in a hurry and was amused. "I think she must be criticizing you in her heart. Isn't it easier to have told her to walk up? How many children now understand directions?"

Normally, if you asked a passer-by for directions, they would say go left or turn right. Who would say turn West and then walk South?

He Niancheng looked over with cold eyes. "She's a high school student."

"What high school student? She's in the military now! No, I mean..." Huo Yingcheng then realized what He Niancheng had implied. "I told you I'm not interested in her. She's not the type I like. I just find her interesting after seeing her a few times. Major-general, why do you like to create rumors?"

Gu Qinjiu, who had already walked a distance away, fortunately, could not hear their argument.

Perhaps after hearing He Niancheng said 273 meters, she silently counted the distance as she walked. In the end, she found that she could not measure how long she had walked. But she found the way and kept going upwards.

She saw a cross-section path.

There were soldiers from the training camp passing her by in groups.

Gathering the clothes in her hands, she looked up at the sky then walked up.

Not far away from the mountain peak, Gu Qingjiu saw Yu Bao'er, who was sitting on a big stone with several male soldiers. She was laughing happily. She was about to go forward when she heard a snort beside her. "Shameless."

Gu Qingjiu paused and looked over. She saw that there were two female soldiers beside her, looking at Yu Bao'er's direction with a mixture of disgust and jealousy on their faces.

Chapter 43: Brother's Call (1)

It turned out that just because Yu Bao'er could easily chat with the male soldiers, it made the female soldiers feel unhappy with her.

Gu Qingjiu knew a little of such fighting and jealousy amongst girls as well.

She stopped in her tracks. She didn't go up. Instead, she called out towards Yu Bao'er. "Yu Bao'er!"

Hearing her call Yu Bao'er, the two female soldiers that were talking about her instantly regained their senses. Once they realized that Gu Qingjiu knew Yu Bao'er, their gazes turned a little weird. However, since they were worried about being caught gossiping, they immediately walked away as they chatted.

On the other hand, while Gu Qingjiu's call for Yu Bao'er wasn't very loud, Yu Bao'er still heard Gu Qingjiu instantly among the noisy ruckus around her.

She turned around and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw Gu Qingjiu. She pointed at Gu Qingjiu to the other male soldiers, smiling as if introducing her. However, she didn't ask Gu Qingjiu to come over as she coolly jumped down a large stone and hopped in front of Gu Qingjiu.

"Thank you, Xiao Jiu'er!"

Yu Bao'er called Gu Qingjiu by the special nickname she gave her. It displayed the close friendship and impression girls had for each other.

Gu Qingjiu trembled once from hearing the nickname. She felt as though her goosebumps were going to pop out.

After all, no one had ever called her so and she wasn't used to it at all.

She passed Yu Bao'er her jacket before muttering, "I brought you your jacket, so I'll head back now."

Yu Bao'er instantly stopped her. "Hey, aren't you going to play for a while? Let me introduce them to you. They were my older brother's old classmates and my brother asked them to take care of me."

It seemed like Yu Bao'er was afraid of Gu Qingjiu misunderstanding her.

After all, she was really close to that group of male soldiers.

However, Gu Qingjiu didn't care about such things. She pursed her lips into a smile, the dimples on her cheeks showing themselves. "I know, but I still have to go back and wash the clothes. I soaked them back in our dormitory."

Yu Bao'er could tell that Gu Qingjiu was merely giving an excuse, but she couldn't force Gu Qingjiu either.

"Alright. I'll head back to the dormitory in a while, so you can head back first."

There was some sort of disappointment evident in her voice, but she said nothing.

After Gu Qingjiu passed her the jacket, she left the mountain very quickly and returned to her dormitory room.

Her military uniform was still soaked in water in the room.

They all had two sets of uniform and they always alternate wearing each set. As Gu Qingjiu sat on a small stool and started to scrub the uniform, her phone rang. Gu Qingjiu glanced at it. It was a call from her older brother!

Gu Qingjiu froze for that second.

After she had been reborn, she never called Gu Qingmo even if she really missed this older brother of hers.

Firstly, it was because she had enlisted all of a sudden and it wasn't easy to explain. Secondly, she really didn't know what to say to Gu Qingmo. She was afraid her tears would fall nonstop the moment she did.

After Gu Qingmo had been thrown out of the Yu family's mansion back then, she had never gotten any news of her older brother since that day. She never knew what exactly happened to Gu Qingmo in the end as well.

Heartache, guilt, and many other emotions that she herself didn't understand started mixing together, forming a weird combination of emotions she felt at that moment.

The overwhelming emotions within her now naturally made her a little hesitant.

However, her phone rang nonstop, so it was impossible for her to not answer it. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qingjiu ultimately wiped her hands clean and answered the call.

"Hello, Brother."

Chapter 44: Brother's Call (2)

"Qingjiu?"

The cheerful voice on the other end of the call was still as sunny and bright as Gu Qingjiu could remember.

Indeed, the moment she heard Gu Qingmo's voice, Gu Qingjiu instantly felt her eyes tear up.

She was already controlling herself a lot right now, but why was she still like this?

Gu Qingjiu instantly forced her overwhelming emotions back and wiped her eyes. She recollected herself and replied, "Yes, Brother. I'm listening."

"Why do you sound a little weird today?"

Even if Gu Qingjiu hid it rather well, Gu Qingmo still noticed that something was wrong.

As bright and sunny Gu Qingmo looked, he had inherited his considerate behavior from his father. Even Gu Qingjiu could not be compared.

Knowing Gu Qingmo's character, Gu Qingjiu instantly changed her voice back to the cold and slightly dazed one. "Ah, Brother, it's nothing. I just woke up."

She remembered that Gu Qingmo should still be in school and have yet to return home, so her parents probably hadn't told him that she had already enlisted. Because if he did, he wouldn't speak to her in such a calm tone anymore.

"Oh... Since you don't have to go to school during the weekend, what are you doing now?"

Although Gu Qingmo had a good relation with Gu Qingjiu, there was still a slight awkwardness that existed between the siblings. An example was Gu Qingmo asking Gu Qingjiu about the small and pointless things every time he called and Gu Qingjiu would answer them one by one.

Another was her telling him that she was washing clothes right now. That wasn't considered a lie to Gu Qingmo.

However, she didn't say where she was washing them.

Gu Qingmo didn't ask any further, as he seemed to be oddly excited today. "Hey, Qingjiu, let me tell you a secret. You have to help. Keep this from Mom and Dad for now, and don't tell them about it too soon."

Gu Qingjiu answered obediently, "Alright!"

"I found a girlfriend that I really like. I plan to bring her home with me to visit Dad and Mom during the summer holidays."

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

This matter made Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment.

She remembered Gu Qingmo telling her the exact same thing in her previous life. However, when the summer holidays came, she had already been taken away by the Yu family.

That was why Gu Qingjiu knew nothing about who this girlfriend was and what ultimately happened between Gu Qingmo and this girlfriend of his.

She hid the news properly for Gu Qingmo, but also ended up losing the chance of finding out what happened afterward.

"Qingjiu?"

"Got it, Brother! I'll hide it from them for you! However, if you're in a relationship, you have to be careful and not let yourself be hurt by bad people!"

Just like Su Lingche and her.

"What are you talking about? Did you get poisoned with those television dramas? You've started to lecture me at this age. But then again, if you fall in love at a young age, I'll hide it for you too. You don't have to worry since I'm not like those conservative people. But you have to be careful too. That boy should not even touch your finger, because if he did I'll break his legs!"

Gu Qingjiu's slightly unexpected words made Gu Qingmo think that Gu Qingjiu had fallen in love as well. Hearing her brother's words, Gu Qingjiu felt helpless but warm at the same time. She said seriously, "Brother, I won't fall in love too early."

"That's true. There's probably no one wooing you, right?"

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

All the warmth dissipated at that moment.

At that period, their parents would still send Gu Qingmo some of Gu Qingjiu's photos, so Gu Qingmo knew how Gu Qingjiu looked like. He thought that Gu Qingjiu still looked the same and naturally thought that his sister wouldn't attract that kind of attention in school.

However, Gu Qingjiu still felt a stab to her heart.

"Hahaha. I'm just joking. My sister is as pretty as a flower. How can there be no one wooing you? Qingjiu, I hope you don't mind the joke. I'll be home in a few days and I'll bring you a lot of delicious foods!"

"Mm."

Gu Qingjiu hummed in response and hung up the call.

Chapter 45: Trouble (1)

Gu Qingmo was still as nice to Gu Qingjiu as he normally was. However, he would tease Gu Qingjiu from time to time in a brotherly manner, like the type of fun siblings would have together.

Even if Gu Qingjiu and Gu Qingmo weren't biological siblings, after so many years together, their relationship was the same as any other biological siblings.

Gu Qingjiu was unlucky with her biological family, but the most fortunate thing for her was to have her adopted family. She only hoped that her brother could accept the fact that she had enlisted.

After washing her clothes, Gu Qingjiu hung up her clothes to dry and Yu Bao'er happened to walk in at the same second.

"Oh, Qingjiu, you were really washing clothes?"

Yu Bao'er looked around her. Seeing that there was no one in the dormitory room except for Gu Qingjiu, she burst out in laughter. "Qingjiu, say, those two kept talking about me behind my back. But the truth is that they still go out to find their own cliques every day."

Yu Bao'er's scoff was indifferent to Gu Qingjiu's ears. It was just a small fight between young girls, so they were slightly boring to the current Gu Qingjiu. However, since she treated Yu Bao'er as her friend, she was naturally biased towards Yu Bao'er.

She barely even think about her other two roommates.

Gu Qingjiu wrung her clothes of water and hung them on the drying rack. She then heard Yu Bao'er's slightly bored whining. "Qingjiu, why don't you have any reaction to whatever I say? Is there really nothing that interests you?"

Gu Qingjiu turned back to look at her. She pursed her lips slightly, showing a bright and youthful smile. "No. it's just that I don't really know about what you've just said, so I don't know how to continue the conversation."

What Gu Qingjiu was saying was the truth.

Yu Bao'er raised an eyebrow, hopping over to help Gu Qingjiu hang up the shirt she was holding. She said, "That's what I'm saying. I want to bring you out to play, but you don't want to go with me either. If you don't go with me, how can you meet other people? Qingjiu, don't always stay in the room. You have to go out too."

Yu Bao'er was the type who liked people and noise, she basically was an extrovert. It was already a miracle that she was able to get along with Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu chuckled softly, a faint and indifferent emotion flashed in her eyes. It made Yu Bao'er freeze a little after seeing it.

When it came to Gu Qingjiu, she never seemed to understand her. However, she felt that this girl, who always looked dazed, had weirdly attracted her attention.

Also, if she took a closer look, she was actually quite pretty.

Her facial features were pretty and nice. It was just that she had some baby fat. However, she had a feeling that Gu Qingjiu would look prettier once she slimmed down.

Yu Bao'er also anticipated the day Gu Qingjiu trimmed down her weight.

Right at this moment, a loud commotion trailed over from the dormitory building opposite of the Gu Qingjiu was in.

They turned towards the sound together and were able to see the people in the opposite building very clearly. They were girls staying at the same level as well.

Some of them had gathered along the corridor and were pulling at each other's hair. It seemed as if they were in an extremely agitated fight.

Yu Bao'er always liked to watch such things. Seeing what was happening, she was instantly excited. "Hey, are they fighting? They're fighting! This is really rare!"

With that said, she didn't even glance at Gu Qingjiu's current expression before she ran out. She was so quick others might think that she was going to take part in the fight ass well.

Gu Qingjiu wasn't interested in such things. However, it didn't mean that she wouldn't watch it when it happened in front of her. Once Yu Bao'er went out, she closed their doors tightly.

She then went onto the balcony and saw many girls from the opposite building rushing over as well.

Chapter 46: Trouble (2)

The fight was so loud that Gu Qingjiu could even hear them clearly even though they were so far away.

Just by looking at how they were pulling each other, it was enough to tell that the fight was extremely intense.

At such moments, people who liked to watch the drama would always be the ones who appeared first. Then, the training instructor in-charge of their class appeared next.

Gu Qingjiu remembered that the opposite building was designated to female soldiers that had already enlisted for a year.

Unless it was a competition between the classes, fighting and creating trouble was a big no-no in camp. People who violated that rule often faced the problem of being kicked out of the military. With such a serious consequence, why would they violate it?

Within a few minutes, there were already instructors who had gone up the floor and pulled the crowd apart. They then pulled the fighting girls apart.

Even if she could not hear anything, it was obvious from the instructor's body language that he was scolding them very sternly.

Gu Qingjiu could only roughly see what was happening.

She saw the girls, who were caught in a fight, follow behind the instructor in charge with their heads down and were demoralized. Gu Qingjiu went back to crouch down and wash some clothes in the washing basin.

'Knock knock!'

Knocking sounds trailed from outside. Since Gu Qingjiu had locked the door from inside, the people outside naturally couldn't enter.

It was probably Yu Bao'er that had returned.

She walked over to open the door but saw Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun instead.

Feng Meiyun wasn't happy the moment she saw Gu Qingjiu. "It's broad daylight. Why did you lock the dormitory room door?"

Jiang Yu tugged Feng Meiyun's sleeves and saw Gu Qingjiu purse her lips. She then calmly said, "I'm sorry. I was washing my clothes just now and locked the door conveniently."

Seeing that she had replied to her nicely, Feng Meiyun had no excuse to harp on the issue. She merely rolled her eyes and pulled Jiang Yu into the room and laid by the side of her bed.

At the same time, Jiang Yu smiled warmly at Gu Qingjiu, as if showing her apologies.

Feng Meiyun tugged Jiang Yu's clothes.

"Xiao Yu, do you know who were fighting earlier?"

Feng Meiyun's expression was filled with gossip. Meanwhile, Gu Qingjiu took her phone and sat by her bed. She then started to scroll through her social media feed.

Jiang Yu glanced at Gu Qingjiu and then asked Feng Meiyun, "Who is it? Did you suddenly disappear to go ask about this?"

"Of course. I heard that those girls were from the First Battalion Third Unit and arrived a year earlier than us. However, with such a huge commotion this time, there's a high chance they would be thrown out of the military!"

As Feng Meiyun made her guess, she looked rather glad and happy. She even glanced at Gu Qingjiu when she said all of those.

"Our camp is not as messy on the outside, that anyone can do anything they want to in here. From what I see, that Yu Bao'er would be thrown out one day as well."

Gu Qingjiu froze.

No matter how she looked at it, Feng Meiyun didn't seem to have good intentions talking about Yu Bao'er in front of her.

Just as Gu Qingjiu was thinking of ways to retaliate for Yu Bao'er, Yu Bao'er ran back into the room.

"Qingjiu, Qingjiu, I just came back from watching the show!"

Yu Bao'er clearly didn't know that someone was just talking bad about her, so she was still in high spirits. However, because her return was so timely, Feng Meiyun, who had spoken bad about her, choked and almost bit on her own tongue.

She sat up on her bad, looking clearly guilty.

Yu Bao'er immediately felt that the room's atmosphere was a little weird.

She had planned to ignore Feng Meiyun. However, because the atmosphere really felt too weird, she glanced at Feng Meiyun from the corner of her eye. Feng Meiyun instantly flared up from her gaze. "What are you looking at?"

Chapter 47: Trouble (3)

"I'm looking at how pretty you are!"

Yu Bao'er retaliated with no care.

Instantly, Feng Meiyun felt another stab at her heart.

Girls all cared about their appearances. In the past, Feng Meiyun could still rely on her own cheery fashion sense. However, now that their hair was cut short and that they could only wear a military uniform in camp, and more so, were not allowed to put on any makeup thus exposing their bare faces, all of these uncovered her weaknesses.

Without any cover up from makeup, her narrow eyes and ordinary facial features really couldn't hold up her appearance.

The worse part was she even got into a rare situation where her three other roommates all looked prettier than her.

There was no need to talk about Jiang Yu or Yu Bao'er. Both of them were the type whose hairstyles could not hide the fact that they were pretty. The reason she didn't like Gu Qingjiu was that Gu Qingjiu gradually looked better day after day when she looked so ordinary at first.

Although she had some baby fat, it couldn't hide the fact that Gu Qingjiu was so fair she almost seemed to glow. Especially now after a period of training, Gu Qingjiu looked like she was losing quite a bit of weight. From there, she was starting to reveal her truly exquisite features, and Feng Meiyun already knew that Gu Qingjiu was definitely prettier than her.

However, she had remained silent about it no matter how jealous she felt. Now that Yu Bao'er was agitating her, she couldn't hold it back in anymore.

"What do you mean, Yu Bao'er?"

No matter what, she was still a gangster before. Yu Bao'er had annoyed her countless times and held it back down a lot of times too. This time, she couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Yunyun, what happened?"

Jiang Yu was a little confused as to why Feng Meiyun would be so agitated by Yu Bao'er's usual words.

Yu Bao'er pointed at her own nose with slight exaggeration. "Oh my god. You're asking me what I meant when I called you pretty? Do you not understand words?"

She scrunched her nose and raised an eyebrow. She looked extremely smug and sarcastic.

Feng Meiyun was so angry she was almost going crazy. "Y—You, little b*tch!"

The moment she cursed out, both Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao'er's expressions changed.

Yu Bao'er was a little angry now. "You're the b*tch here. Do you know how to speak? If you don't, you can sew your lips together. Your mouth is so smelly that it emits a foul smoke the moment you open them. Who do you plan to poison exactly?"

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She didn't expect Yu Bao'er to know so much about mocking others.

However, Gu Qingjiu didn't like people who cursed as well, no matter their gender!

Besides, when females cursed, there was an additional bitterness and sarcasm laced in their tone. It made others feel annoyed and angry.

The current Feng Meiyun was the best example of it.

Jiang Yu also realized that something was wrong. She was extremely afraid that Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao'er would really start fighting. After the fight in the opposite building, if another one broke out in their dormitory room, that instructor would definitely not let them go.

However, she didn't expect for Feng Meiyun's anger to already reach her tipping point. On top of Yu Bao'er's mocking words, Feng Meiyun felt like all of her rationality had disappeared. Her eyes turned completely red as she rushed over, not knowing if it was because of the extreme anger of something else. She swung her leg out suddenly, looking as if she was going to kick Yu Bao'er.

Yu Bao'er was still frozen.

She probably hadn't expected Feng Meiyun to really lash out. Besides, it was also the first time a female dared to hit her in so many years!

As she remained dazed out, Feng Meiyun's leg was about to hit her stomach. Gu Qingjiu, who had been beside her, quickly reached out to tug her away, pulling Yu Bao'er towards her. She pulled Yu Bao'er so strongly that Yu Bao'er even tripped a little.

Instantly, Feng Meiyun missed.

Yu Bao'er, who had regained her senses, instantly exploded. "You dare hit me? I will skin you alive today!"

Chapter 48: Trouble (4)

Yu Bao'er was extremely angry. Just when she was to retaliate, Gu Qingjiu had stopped her.

She initially wanted to kick Feng Meiyun. However, Gu Qingjiu stood behind her and pulled her back. Still angry and agitated, Yu Bao'er glared back at Gu Qingjiu. "What are you doing?"

Gu Qingjiu, who usually looked quiet and mannered, looked exceptionally calm right now. "If you hit her now, do you want to be kicked out of the camp when you've just recently arrived here? Those that fought in the opposite building had been enlisted for a year, but we're still new."

Gu Qingjiu's words felt like a basin of cold water had been poured over Yu Bao'er, making Yu Bao'er cool down a little.

They were still new recruits and are in a three-month probation period. If they violated a military camp rule within the period, they would definitely be kicked out immediately.

Others may not care about such things, but Gu Qingjiu would never let something like that happen to her.

She wanted to enlist, so she wouldn't let herself be thrown out just because of a simple violation of rules.

As Gu Qingjiu had expected, Feng Meiyun didn't care about it at all. She continued to shriek at Yu Bao'er. "Come on, b*tch! If you dare, fight me now. If we get kicked out, we will be kicked out. I'm not afraid of you!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing. It was so loud that people on the same floor could basically hear them.

Yu Bao'er had always been ill-tempered. After hearing what Feng Meiyun said, how could she hold back anymore? She rushed over and rolled her sleeves up. She looked as if she was about to fight. Jiang Yu clearly didn't want this situation to blow out either, so she hurriedly stopped Jiang Yu and said, "Yunyun, let it go! We're all in the same dormitory room, so let's not make things too ugly."

The most important thing was Feng Meiyun was the one who provoked them first.

Gu Qingjiu was good-tempered, so she might not want to hold it against Feng Meiyun, but Yu Bao'er clearly wasn't.

When faced with people like Feng Meiyun, ill-tempered people would definitely blow out in a crazy fit.

Yu Bao'er could not hold back anymore. "Let's fight if you want! F*ck! The most is we get kicked out of the military camp. I still have my older brother! Do you think I'm scared of you, b*tch?"

If her older brother found out that she acted like a coward after being provoked, he might even scold her for it!

On the other hand, Gu Qingjiu, who have heard Feng Meiyun's provocative words once more, slowly let go of her hold on Yu Bao'er.

What to say? Some people needed to be taught a lesson in order to know how things were.

Without anyone holding her back now, Yu Bao'er instantly kicked Feng Meiyun.

With a loud bang, she kicked her fully.

The scene instantly turned messy.

Jiang Yu furrowed her eyebrows tightly. She originally wanted to stop the fight. However, after seeing that Yu Bao'er had rushed over, she instantly let go of Feng Meiyun. Yu Bao'er didn't have her as a target, so it was Feng Meiyun who quickly started fighting with Yu Bao'er.

It was clear that Yu Bao'er had the upper hand.

Right at this moment, Jiang Yu saw Gu Qingjiu standing quietly by the side, watching the fight. It was as if she was watching a farce. She looked so quiet and calm as if she was separated from this messy fight.

Jiang Yu froze for a moment, as Yu Bao'er found the chance to slap Feng Meiyun.

A loud slap echoed in the room. This definitely angered Feng Meiyun completely. Her eyes were so red that she was almost crying. She attacked Yu Bao'er with all she had. Just as she became crazier, someone pushed the dormitory room door open from outside. With that, a voice loud enough to shatter everyone's eardrums rung...

"What are you doing? Do you want to become a God from fighting in your dormitory room?!"

Chapter 49: Sending Her Away

A green figure rushed into the room and pulled the two fighting figures apart.

Seeing who had come, Gu Qingjiu froze slightly.

Jiang Yu was surprised as well.

Because they didn't know the young man that just came in.

But Gu Qingjiu did.

And this person was Huo Yingcheng.

Huo Yingcheng wasn't their instructor. Why did he come to the female dormitory?

Yu Bao'er and Feng Meiyun have been pulled apart. Their eyes were completely red from anger now. Feng Meiyun felt extremely humiliated from being slapped, while Yu Bao'er had two scratch marks from Feng Meiyun. Both of them looked extremely terrible.

After Huo Yingcheng pulled them apart, their lost rationality slowly returned. When they saw the tall and fierce-looking Huo Yingcheng, fear slowly swarmed their heart. Their legs even started to tremble from fear.

Yu Bao'er wasn't as scared as Feng Meiyun was, though she still felt rather guilty.

Her previous fighting spirit had disappeared. She then slowly looked down.

Huo Yingcheng wasn't as smiley as he usually was to Gu Qingjiu. When he was serious, he looked like a living Satan. On top of his tall and broad figure, the power he exuded was unusually strong.

"I could hear you two fighting for death when I was walking downstairs. I came up and saw you two fighting. You're really daring, aren't you?!"

After Huo Yingcheng said this, Jiang Yu wanted to say something. However, when she saw the rank on Huo Yingcheng's shoulders, she instantly turned silent.

Both Yu Bao'er and Feng Meiyun remained silent as they had their heads down, looking like a rooster that had lost in their fights. Just as Huo Yingcheng wanted to start scolding them, he turned around and saw Gu Qingjiu.

When he saw Gu Qingjiu, Huo Yingcheng froze visibly as well.

It was as if he didn't expect Gu Qingjiu to belong to this dormitory room.

His expression didn't change, however, as he turned back towards Yu Bao'er and Feng Meiyun. He asked, "Why did you fight?"

Both Yu Bao'er and Feng Meiyun were speechless. It was best to remain quiet in such situations because if one of them dared to speak the truth and the other party chimed in, they would definitely be scolded.

"Are you not speaking? Alright, let's leave it like this! Who is your instructor? Tell me their name!"

With that said, he glanced at Feng Meiyun and scolded loudly. "Who is it? You, tell me!"

Feng Meiyun jumped from the volume of his voice. After trembling a little, she slowly replied, "I—it's... Instructor Chen Haoyang from the Third Battalion Seventh Unit."

"Why do you sound so weak when you speak? Weren't you very strong when you were fighting? Weren't you very passionate? What about now? Did you become a coward? You can't stay strong-headed anymore?"

Huo Yingcheng started to scold Feng Meiyun once more. Seeing how Feng Meiyun got scolded, Yu Bao'er smirked as she gloated over Feng Meiuyun's situation with her head still down. However, Feng Meiyun saw her expression and anger flashed in her eyes once more.

At the same time, Huo Yingcheng turned around and pointed at Gu Qingjiu. "Go and bring your instructor to this building!"

Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment before she saluted. "Yes, Sir!"

She didn't know why Huo Yingcheng asked her to go, but any orders from the instructors must be followed.

The moment Gu Qingjiu went out, Huo Yingcheng continued in his scoldings. "The two of you, go down!"

With that said, he glanced at Jiang Yu, who was still standing by the side. Jiang Yu seemed a little scared. Huo Yingcheng immediately waved his hand in annoyance. "You, go down with them, too."

Jiang Yu instantly frowned. She wanted to say that it had nothing to do with her. However, with Feng Meiyun still present, she didn't say anything in the end and quietly followed behind them.

Chapter 50: Why Wasn't She Scolded

In the meantime, the girls from the other dormitory rooms also poked their heads out of their rooms to watch the drama.

They were all from the same batch. As they watched the drama unfolding before their very eyes, they all gloated over Yu Bao'er and Feng Meiyun's predicaments.

Amongst all the new recruits, no one could stand another. Especially when the prettiest Yu Bao'er was also in the same dormitory room.

However, from Huo Yingcheng's cold expression, everyone just continued to watch the drama from the gaps between the door.

In the dormitory buildings, because they often had sudden training or checking, they prohibited girls to do certain things during the day. It was to prevent the male instructors from entering an awkward situation whenever they came. That was why male instructors could enter the female dormitory buildings during the day as well. However, they would need to have a pass with them.

However, to Huo Yingcheng, who was the second-in-command, this rule didn't apply to him.

When Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao'er started fighting, Huo Yingcheng happened to pass by downstairs. He instantly realized what was happening and caught the two new recruits fighting the moment he came up.

When they arrived downstairs, several girls had already poked their heads out to look at the drama.

Chen Haoyang was originally having fun with his battalion mates when suddenly, one of the new recruits he was in charge of came and told him the new commander had caught that two of his new recruits fighting. Instantly, this made Chen Haoyang stricken with panic and worry.

When new recruits fought, their instructors usually had to take responsibility as well.

It was like that in the military.

When Gu Qingjiu told Chen Haoyang about it, she didn't exaggerate it nor hide anything. Hence, Chen Haoyang was able to briefly grasp the entire situation.

She returned to the dormitory building with Chen Haoyang. From afar, Gu Qingjiu could see Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao'er standing under a large tree by the dormitory building. Jiang Yu was also standing beside them while Huo Yingcheng was standing at the side.

There were several people watching the drama.

Chen Haoyang walked over and saluted to Huo Yingcheng with a forehead covered in cold sweat. "Good afternoon, Commander Huo!"

Chen Haoyang knew Commander Huo had appeared together with Commander He.

However, knowing him didn't mean that he understood him.

He didn't know this newly-arrived Commander Huo's temper at all.

So naturally, he felt a little guilty when his new recruits violated such a serious rule like fighting.

This had never happened ever since he took charge of new recruits, so he definitely felt a little anxious and guilty about it.

Huo Yingcheng's eyes first brushed past Gu Qingjiu, then quickly narrowed down to Chen Haoyang before anyone noticed that he had glanced at Gu Qingjiu. "Hm, are you in charge of these three new recruits?"

Chen Haoyang glanced at Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao'er, before nodding. "Yes!"

"What is the consequence of new recruits violating the rule by fighting?"

"Punishment is given according to how serious the incident is. If it is serious, they would be kicked out of camp and if it is not, they would be warned once and be punished to clean the camp's toilet for a month. They would also have to write a reflection letter and read it out during the camp meeting."

Compared to the former punishment, this punishment was actually considered humane already.

Writing a reflection letter was nothing. However, Yu Bao'er felt dizzy just by hearing the punishment of cleaning the toilet for a month. It was as if she had already smelled that outrageous stink before even stepping into the toilet.

She would rather die!

Instantly, she started to regret her violent impulse. She should have stopped when Qingjiu tried to earlier on!

At the thought of Qingjiu, Yu Bao'er was afraid that she would be implicated. But when she looked up slightly, she saw Gu Qingjiu standing behind Chen Haoyang. She was different from Jiang Yu, who was stood next to them. It was as if Huo Yingcheng and Chen Haoyang didn't realize that Gu Qingjiu was from the same dormitory room as they were.

At the same time, Jiang Yu was also staring straight at Gu Qingjiu. She felt a little weird.

Why could Gu Qingjiu stand there like she wasn't involved?
