“That’s what I thought too. But I don’t know what Wange’s family would think of this.”
Gu Qingmo finally brought up the main point. “Speaking of which, I have been dating Wange for a long time, but I have never heard her mention her parents. Although this time, Wange promised to go back to visit our parents. I don’t feel secure as I have yet to see her parents.”
He seemed to realize that something wasn’t quite right.
He had been dating Qin Wange for a long time.
Which would make it appropriate for them to meet each others’ parents. But he hadn’t heard Qin Wange mention her parents before.
In the past, Gu Qingmo didn’t mind it. Now that his younger sister mentioned it, he did feel weird about it.
Gu Qingjiu naturally knew why Qin Wange didn’t mention it, but it wasn’t her place to talk about such a matter.
After a momentary silence, Gu Qingjiu said, “Brother, let’s take it one step at a time. You’re thinking too much. Be careful, or your hair will turn white from all that worrying.”
“Damn you. What can I be worried about?”
Gu Qingmo smiled. He reached out to hold Gu Qingjiu’s shoulders and let out a sigh. “I feel that you and the Chief Instructor make a nice couple. Grab hold of the opportunity if you have the chance.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She didn’t at all wish to think about such matters at the moment.
They hung out until nighttime. When Gu Qingmo saw that Gu Qingjiu didn’t intend to go back, he planned to book a room for her.
Helian Niancheng called Gu Qingjiu. Despite what happened during the day, he didn’t seem at all affected by it. As though nothing had happened, he asked, “Where are you? I’ll come over and fetch you.”
After a pause, Gu Qingjiu said slowly, “It’s fine, Chief Instructor. I’ll stay with my older brother for tonight.”
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the line.
It was so quiet that one couldn’t help but feel heart palpitations.
A moment later, he finally replied, “Okay.”
With that, he hung up.
Gazing at the ended call on her phone screen, Gu Qingjiu felt a stuffed sensation in her heart.
She felt like she couldn’t vent the emotions in her heart, and with those feelings bottled up inside, she felt extremely painful.
Gu Qingmo booked a room for Gu Qingjiu somewhere near his school. Just to be safe, he booked the room adjacent to hers so that he could take care of her.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s terrible countenance after she had hung up, Gu Qingmo grew suspicious. “Did you really quarrel with him?”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “Not really. A bit of a cold war.”
Gu Qingmo was speechless.
A bit of a cold war.
What a refreshing and novel answer.
Shouldn’t two people in a cold war be ignoring each other?
Why did he call then?
Gu Qingmo, who couldn’t understand what his younger sister was thinking, prepared to bring her out to play.
To help distract her thoughts, and also to have some supper.
But before they went out, Gu Qingjiu suddenly received Lu Ziyang’s call.
When she saw the letter ‘L’ on her phone, she instantly avoided her older brother and went to one side before whispering, “Something the matter?”
“Something urgent cropped up. Do you have a gun with you?”
Lu Ziyang’s voice sounded rather urgent. Beads of perspiration nearly formed on Gu Qingjiu’s forehead as she said, “Big boss, I’m just an ordinary civilian… How can I possibly be carrying a…”
A gun!
Even if she was a student of the military school, she couldn’t bring a gun around.
“From what I can see, you’re in the vicinity of Yannan University, right? Head to Entrance C of the train station near Yannan University right now. I’ll wait for you there.”
Immediately after he had finished speaking, Lu Ziyang hung up.
Surprised by the suddenness of this mission, Gu Qingjiu glanced at her older brother and said, “Brother, I have something to attend to so I need to go out. I’ll be right back.”
Before Gu Qingmo could even reply, he saw Gu Qingjiu running out like a gust of wind.
He murmured to himself, “Where is she going?”
