Gu Qingjiu put on her jacket. Picking up her belongings, she headed to the cafeteria.
After practicing the entire afternoon, she naturally was famished.
After sweating all over, it felt extremely nice to feel the cold winds blowing.
She rode her bicycle and hastily made her way to the cafeteria beside her dormitory.
After her practice, there was nothing holding her back. She leisurely rode her bicycle, feeling completely at ease.
Students donning the military uniform strolled past her. All of them were relaxed and chatting happily.
Amid the cheerful atmosphere, Gu Qingjiu suddenly realized that she had never felt such peace before.
Her past self would not have imagined that she could lead such a life in the future.
She never knew she could feel so blissful and warm.
She had friends by her side, parents living far away, and a perfect boyfriend.
In the middle of her peaceful thoughts, she unknowingly arrived at the cafeteria.
Gu Qingjiu ordered her meal. After practicing, she was dying to eat. She even specially requested for the stall owner to add two more chicken drumsticks.
The military school required the students to maintain a healthy figure and therefore, there weren’t many girls who go on diets.
With such high-intensity workouts every day, the military school’s training must be useless if its students could still gain weight.
There were a number of girls with a huge appetite like Gu Qingjiu.
As she ate, her body felt clammy and uncomfortable because of her sweat.
She wanted to hurry and finish her meal so that she could shower in her dormitory!
Just as she was about to finish eating, Gu Qingjiu received a message from the Chief Instructor.
“Come to my office.”
Since the other night, she hadn’t spoken to the Chief Instructor for the entire day.
It was mainly because the Chief Instructor had requested her to sleep over at his place, but he had failed. He had looked rather displeased.
Gu Qingjiu felt guilty. Hence, she didn’t talk to him.
Looking at the message, she wolfed down the chicken.
She hadn’t even showered yet!
It wouldn’t be nice to see him when she smelled bad.
Gu Qingjiu decided that she will take a shower before heading over.
She quickly consumed her rice and dashed back to the dormitory.
Back there, Gu Qian and Chu Lian were already resting while scrolling on their phones.
Noticing that Gu Qingjiu had returned, they greeted her.”Oh, Qingjiu, you’re back. How was your practice today?”
Gu Qingjiu answered immediately, “Fine.”
She then rushed into the toilet.
“Why are you in such a hurry? The water supply stops only at ten. It’s only eight now. Do you need to shower for two hours?”
Seeing how quickly Gu Qingjiu moved around, Gu Qian giggled.
Gu Qingjiu showered extremely quickly in the toilet. Within ten minutes, she was done.
Gu Qian looked at her in shock.
Although they showered very quickly usually, they would take their time during the weekends since they didn’t have training.
Gu Qingjiu was speeding through.
Putting on some innerwear, she wore a new set of military uniforms. Standing in front of Gu Qian, she asked, “Do I smell good?”
“Yes!”
Gu Qian covered her nose and laid backward on her bed. Taking in a deep breath, she jokingly pretended to be choking on a poisonous fume. “Where are you going smelling so nice?”
On the opposite bed, Chu Lian chuckled playfully as the light from her phone shone reflected on her face. “She must be going to meet her boyfriend!”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
How could they even tell?
Gu Qian was even more stunned than Gu Qingjiu. “No way. Qingjiu cannot even go out of our school. How can she have a boyfriend?”
Gu Qingjiu had to keep it a secret from them. She answered Gu Qian without any guilt, “That’s right. I don’t have a boyfriend. I’m just going for a walk!”
After she was done speaking, she left hastily.
