Chapter 103: A Name She Didn’t Wish to Hear
“That’s still pretty good. At least if you run into troubles, you can seek help from such a cousin.”
Feng Meiyun and her gang all came from small cities. Hence, they felt inevitably envious despite only hearing a little of such a person.
If it was the old Gu Qingjiu, she might feel the anticipation as well.
But after all she had been through, she learned how hateful all that was.
“Your older cousin’s surname is Yu?”
Perhaps still worried, Gu Qingjiu sat up on the bed and suddenly asked.
Those people turned their heads at hearing this, after pausing slightly in surprise.
Ji Ruoqing widened her eyes and said, “How did you know?”
There was a look of astonishment on her face.
Only then did Gu Qingjiu notice how she looked.
There was nothing on Ji Ruoqing that reminded her of Yu Shiwei.
Or perhaps anyone in the Yu family.
She had a delicate and cute face of a young girl—they were distant relatives indeed.
Towards such a distant relative of the Yu family who had never appeared in her past life, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t take out her hatred and anger on this young girl.
After obtaining her answer, she smiled lightly. “I’ve seen her in the magazine before. How surprising indeed.”
Yu Shiwei frequently graced the pages of North City’s fashion magazines, anyway.
After that, she left the dormitory, leaving Ji Ruoqing and the others looking at each other.
“Yu… Shiwei?” Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes as she suddenly thought of someone and felt a little shocked. “Yuqing, your cousin is Yu Shiwei, the sexiest enchantress in North City?”
Ji Ruoqing felt incredulous. “My cousin isn’t all that famous in the North City, but all of you have heard of her?”
“The internet is advanced these days!” Jiang Yu smiled. “I remember seeing her on some Weibo article.”
She then thought of Gu Qingjiu’s expression when she asked that question.
Although she appeared as cold and aloof as ever, there was somehow this sinister and terrifying vibe about her.

After Gu Qingjiu had gone out, the anger in her heart dissipated by quite a lot.
Perhaps because even hearing them discuss that name in the room was a form of torture.
She couldn’t let go of the hatred in her heart despite being reborn.
After coming out of the dormitory, she didn’t know where to go and she unconsciously found herself walking up a mountain.
She wanted to find a quiet place.
It was cold up the mountains in the winter, and the slopes were slippery and steep. Among all the mountains she could have picked, Gu Qingjiu had chosen the one that’s hardest to climb.
It jumbled her heart up. After walking up the path for god knows how long, she reached a place where there were withered leaves all around.
There were only straight pine trees with branches sticking out, enveloping Gu Qingjiu in this dense forest.
It was quiet all around.
She was the only one there.
Only the sunlight managed to dispel some of the loneliness and coldness surrounding her.
If it was at night, it would be the perfect setting to film a horror movie.
After all, the mountains were huge, and even if there were a lot of people at the military camp, not everyone could be gathered together.
She found a place and casually laid out some leaves before sitting on a slightly slanted surface.
Perhaps as it was winter, the ground was a little moist, making Gu Qingjiu feel a coldness at her buttocks.
She estimated her period was about to come soon, and even if her training brought some improvement to her health, she shouldn’t act willfully.
After some thought, she changed her position and squatted, hugging her knees to her chest.
