Gu Qingjiu didn’t see this coming either.
But at that moment, she couldn’t describe her feelings.
It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Heartache?
Of course, it hurt.
She couldn’t even breathe.
But what followed was a sense of helplessness.
“Thankfully, though, the school and military side didn’t say they were going to punish you,” Lu Yimei added.
Gu Qingjiu, however, let out a bitter chuckle. “Me being in a relationship doesn’t break any laws and doesn’t get in anyone’s way.”
But Gu Qingjiu knew that she was only finding excuses.
In front of military rules, everyone was equal.
But she couldn’t take it lying down.
She couldn’t take it lying down at the suddenness of all this.
Everything had just started, and now, everything abruptly came to a halt…
But she couldn’t blame anyone for this matter.
With her lips trembling, she asked Lu Yimei, “Commander, can you do me a favor?”
“Speak, I will so long as I can help.”
“It’s nothing much. I just want to ask if there’s anyone from the school who can help me bring my phone over.”
She wasn’t stupid. Since the military was going to send He Niancheng back to his country by force, naturally, they would also control his phone.
But she couldn’t quite understand something.
The Chief Instructor wasn’t the sort of person who would allow anyone to manipulate him.
Why did he not act at all when this happened all so suddenly?
Although Gu Qingjiu felt pain, she still had a clear head.
She didn’t believe that the Chief Instructor would leave her alone like this.
He had clearly said before that she belonged to him, that she could never escape from him.
“Of course. Some of our members haven’t come over yet. I’ll get someone to bring your phone over tomorrow afternoon. Is your phone in the dormitory?”
Lu Yimei instantly understood that Gu Qingjiu wanted to contact He Niancheng.
“Mm.”
She responded. Just then, Qi Yuefeng came back from buying dinner outside.
Seeing the ward full of people, she immediately asked, “Are you all classmates of Qingjiu?”
Lu Yimei and the rest turned their heads. When they saw Qi Yuefeng, they greeted her, “Hi, Auntie.”
“Hi, Auntie.”
“Hi, all of you.” Qi Yuefeng motioned for them to sit down. “I bought dinner. Come over and eat.”
“No, no, no, it’s okay. Auntie, we ate before coming.”
Lu Yimei and the rest waved their hands to show that they had eaten.
They still had to go back to school to train. Although this matter blew up into an enormous affair, it had nothing to do with them and they still had to carry on with their training.
Since they got to see Gu Qingjiu, they chatted for a while before returning to school.
After they left, Qi Yuefeng sighed with emotion at seeing how well Gu Qingjiu got along with her classmates.
“You’ve indeed changed a lot after you entered university. When you were in senior high, I never saw any classmates of yours pay you a visit.”
Gu Qingjiu’s mood wasn’t all that great right now, so she merely and dazedly said, “They’re going to send the Chief Instructor back to his country tonight.”
Qi Yuefeng’s smile froze on her face.
“Send back to his country?”
She still didn’t know that He Niancheng was from Penalan.
“Chief Instructor is from Penalan. Being in a relationship with me violates the military rules, so he got fired and would be forcibly sent back to his country now…”
Gu Qingjiu said all this, as though she was sleep talking.
Qi Yuefeng paused in shock.
“How… how could this be?”
She stammered, clearly astonished.
She had just accepted this matter, and suddenly this happened?
Gu Qingjiu shook her head with a bitter expression. “I don’t know what’s the reason either. I can’t go back to school for now.”
