“Can you not be so nervous? You know that person too.”
Gu Qingjiu knew what Gu Qingmo was worried about—he was afraid that she would be on the losing end because she had never dated.
“I’m not being nervous. Tell me who that person is first.”
Gu Qingjiu glanced at him, before whispering, “That guy whom I told you might not be interested in women… Chief Instructor…”
Right away, Gu Qingmo knew who she was talking about.
His expression was a little difficult to understand.
It looked a little twisted like his cheeks were twitching and trying to hold back a smile or something.
“You chased after him?”
Gu Qingmo picked up some food with his chopsticks, unable to hold back a smile from his lips. “Doesn’t feel so surprising.”
“How did you know I was the one who chased after him?”
Gu Qingjiu was puzzled. Was it that obvious?
“Because he doesn’t look like the sort who would chase after someone.”
Gu Qingmo’s judgment was spot-on indeed. One look and he knew the chief instructor was prideful, and it was difficult to imagine him chasing after a girl.
On the contrary, Gu Qingjiu surprised him.
In the past, Gu Qingjiu used to be introverted and reserved. Why did she suddenly become so bold as to take the initiative to chase after someone now?
The crux was, the first guy she went after was someone so difficult. Most importantly, she succeeded.
“Qingjiu, as your older brother I’m not cursing you. But why did you choose such a superior man for your first love? If something should happen in the future, it will affect you when you look for your second boyfriend…”
Her first boyfriend was way too outstanding; this would make the guy feel immense pressure.

Gu Qingjiu made a spatting sound. “I’ve just started dating him and you’re cursing him. If it weren’t for the chief instructor, how would I be able to come out to visit you?”
“Yo, you sound different now that you have a Chief Instructor for a boyfriend. Even the way you sit seems straighter!”
Gu Qingmo teased her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu felt a little embarrassed. “Nah…”
However, Gu Qingmo was merely teasing Gu Qingjiu and didn’t seem to have any objections towards her dating the Chief Instructor.
“Brother, don’t tell Dad and Mom about this.”
Gu Qingmo said, “I know, I know. When the time is right, you tell them yourself. Oh right, how long can you stay this time? I’ll ask your sister-in-law if there’s time I’ll arrange for you two to meet each other.”
At the mention of ‘sister-in-law’, Gu Qingjiu’s eyes lit up. “Is Sister-in-law here right now?’
“No.” Gu Qingmo shook his head. “She’s busy with her graduation internship and will be working overtime this weekend. I’m merely checking when you’re free first.”
Gu Qingjiu felt disappointed. “Then we might not be able to see each other. I need to return to the military school tomorrow morning because I have a test the day after. There’s an instructor who’s picking on me. Sigh…”
She then told him all about Qin Huai.
“What a petty man.” Gu Qingmo sputtered with laughter in disdain. “Don’t be scared. Aren’t you a sharpshooter? You said you even passed a hundred-meters target. When Monday comes, just slap him in the face with your good performance.”
Gu Qingmo seemed to be gloating over his younger sister’s misfortune a little. One could not detect an ounce of sympathy from him.
Oh, how it pricked at Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
As the two of them chatted over the piping hot food, before they knew it it was already two in the afternoon.
Someone called Gu Qingmo and asked him to return to the school.
Gu Qingmo paid the bill, before bringing Gu Qingjiu to a nearby hotel and checked her into a room, while checking himself into the adjacent room.
Since his younger sister was here to visit him, he couldn’t very well let his sister stay alone in the hotel.
And it certainly wasn’t appropriate for her to stay on campus.
