Yu Bao’er couldn’t very well talk her out of it. But the moment Gu Qingjiu gulped the beer, she shoved it away with a bitter expression. “Tastes awful!”
It tasted so weird to her.
Yu Bao’er burst into laughter.
“Since you’ve never drunk it before, you’re naturally not used to it. But I don’t drink this either.”
The two girls were quite eye-catching as they sat eating in the restaurant.
When Gu Qingjiu came out, she changed into a set of Yu Bao’er’s casual clothes, because she couldn’t very well come out in her military garments.
Their pretty faces attracted the attention of many other male patrons.
But this was a proper restaurant and not some roadside stall.
And these men merely stared and didn’t have the guts to come up to them.
Since both Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er didn’t drink alcohol, they were extremely sober.
Eating the crayfish, Gu Qingjiu realised that it tasted pretty good.
The emotions suppressed in her heart seemed to dispel a little after eating this good food, and Gu Qingjiu rather relished in eating it.
Yu Bao’er heaved out a sigh of relief internally.
“How’s training in military school these days?”
Yu Bao’er asked Gu Qingjiu about some happenings in the military school.
“Pretty good. Sufficient training and shooting practice in preparation for the competition in October.”
Yu Bao’er had heard Gu Qingjiu mention the October competition before this. Her eyes lit up at the mention of this. “Qingjiu, are outsiders allowed to buy tickets to view a competition like this? I want to watch you compete in a shooting.”
Gu Qingjiu laughed as she shelled the crayfish. “I’m not sure. I don’t think the October competition is open for viewing to outsiders. Probably only those from military schools are allowed in. But I can see if I can get you a ticket.”
“Alright, alright, you’re my good Jiu’er. Love you lots!”
If it weren’t for the fact that they were outside, Yu Bao’er would have pounced onto Gu Qingjiu and kissed her on the face.
The duo had an excellent time chatting, and Gu Qingjiu’s gloominess faded quite a bit.
Just then, someone at the adjacent table stumbled to his feet and came to Gu Qingjiu, delight in his voice. “It’s… you?”
Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er looked up upon hearing this. One of them stiffened her expression, and the other seemed clearly confused.
Yu Bao’er asked, “Handsome, who are you?”
Staring at the man before her, Gu Qingjiu crushed the crayfish in her hands into a ball.
The pitiful crayfish’s shell and flesh got squashed together.
Ever since she came to military school, Gu Qingjiu nearly forgot about this person.
Surprisingly, he appeared in front of her once more!
Su Lingche!
However, Su Lingche simply looked delighted at the sight of Gu Qingjiu.
This girl had previously left a profound impression on him at North City.
But subsequently, he didn’t have any means of contacting her, and they never ran into each other again.
He felt an emptiness in his heart. He had only seen this girl once, yet why did he have such a deep impression of her?
That was why, when he suddenly saw Gu Qingjiu’s face, he didn’t quite dare to believe his eyes at first.
He only came up to say hello after he had worked up the courage.
But Gu Qingjiu’s countenance was too obvious.
No delight, only a dark expression on her face.
So dark that Su Lingche felt kind of scared.
He wasn’t here by himself. He came with friends, both male and female, dressed rather trendily.
At the moment, they wore an ambiguous smile as they looked in Gu Qingjiu and Su Lingche’s direction.
