Before Gu Qingjiu could recover from her trance, He Niancheng’s eyes dimmed visibly as he took the phone from Huo Yingcheng. He walked out with him afterward.
Gu Qingjiu looked at their leaving silhouettes and felt confused. What exactly were the Chief Instructor’s and Commander Huo’s background and origin?
Nan Yingxuan walked to Gu Qingjiu’s side, his expression seemingly deep in thought. In a warm voice, he said, “They probably won’t be back.”
Doctor Nan appeared to understand the situation those two had, but Gu Qingjiu couldn’t stop her curiosity. She asked, “Doctor Nan, do you know the Chief Instructor and Commander Huo’s background?”
Hearing her question, Nan Yingxuan turned to face her.
His eyes were as beautiful as an art piece, and it shone as if they were trying to convey something.
“I think you will find out about your Chief Instructor’s background in the future. It’s something no one in the army would have guessed.”
After speaking, he returned to his seat and started arranging his clutter of medicines.
Seeing that Doctor Nan was unwilling to speak, Gu Qingjiu did not probe further.
Since there wasn’t anything else, she returned to her dormitory after bidding goodbye to Nan Yingxuan.
…
The time in the new recruits’ training camp passed neither quickly nor slowly.
For new recruits who would only get to use their cell phones on weekends to relieve those boring and dry days, these repeated training day after day and the high expectations which pushed them to their limits were difficult to get by.
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed.
And it was time for the month’s dueling session.
Gu Qingjiu was not paired with Xie Ya this time, so she easily defeated her opponent.
Her improvement was getting more evident, too.
Even in their daily training, it was easy to see that Gu Qingjiu’s performance was better than most recruits.
Even if many of them gossiped behind Gu Qingjiu about how she was walking too close to Commander Huo, they did not have much to comment whenever it came to her results.
But that month, Gu Qingjiu did not actually see Commander Huo and the rest.
She heard that they were busy with some matters.
It was something she heard from Doctor Nan, and he further stated that Chief Instructor and Commander Huo may have to leave earlier to settle some family matters.
Family matters sounded like there was something secretive involved.
Usually in an army, when they pull the term ‘family’ into context, those people always seemed like some big shot.
Gu Qingjiu had long expected for the Chief Instructor’s background to not be simple, but hearing these, she still wisely chose not to probe.
At that moment, Gu Qingjiu had no time for such concerns. After all, if she were to win the dueling practice, she would face the winners from the other classes.
Previously, Gu Qingjiu did not get the chance to do it, and instead, Yu Bao’er did.
In the end, the prize was just a word of compliment and the honor of their class.
Yu Bao’er got so angry about it, that she lost on purpose to her opponent this time ’round.
Hence why Yu Bao’er did not reach the next round for that month’s duel.
The prizes or rewards didn’t bother Gu Qingjiu. She just gave her all for the matches so she won her opponent with ease.
It seemed as though except for Xie Ya, the rest of them who had the same starting point as Gu Qingjiu couldn’t out win her at all.
When she won the matches, she received Chen Haoyang’s compliment.
But because the recruits complained about the army’s stinginess in the first competition, there was a difference this time.
There was a legit prize this time round—a fountain pen!
Yu Bao’er watched as Gu Qingjiu received the fountain pen and almost vomited blood at the sight of it.
