Chapter 41: Hello, Chief Instructor (2)
Gu Qingjiu did not know how she had strayed off.
Holding Yu Bao’er’s coat, she stood in the middle of the dense forest. She could not see the way clearly, and as she looked around, she looked a little silly.
She went the wrong way and the place wasn’t small, so naturally, no one was around.
At this moment, Gu Qingjiu vaguely heard voices coming from the left.
To her left was a large bamboo forest and it had already turned into a withered yellow in the winter. A thick layer of bamboo leaves had covered the ground, and it made it look like a golden carpet.
Gu Qingjiu walked towards the target. She wanted to see if the person talking was from the training camp, if so, she could ask them for the way back.
Her shoes made a rustling sound when she stepped on the fallen bamboo leaves. Before Gu Qingjiu could get close, a tall and burly figure appeared behind the bamboo forest. At first, he was a little wary, but when he saw Gu Qingjiu, he was stunned.
“Fatty?”
Gu Qingjiu was surprised to see the other party, but when she heard the nickname he called her, she was a little annoyed. She frowned and said coldly, “Are you that rude?”
He only knew how to jab at her wound.
She would lose weight sooner or later, but she did not want to have such a nickname.
She was not considered very fat!
And this person was that white-haired young man she met on the street. Although his hairstyle did not change much, that tuft of white hair had disappeared. It was obvious that it had been dyed black.
“Sorry, it’s a slip of my tongue. I forgot. You’re Gu Qingjiu, right?”
The young man rubbed his hands and laughed, embarrassed. “I’ve seen you so many times, but I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Huo Yingcheng. You can call be Brother Cheng.”
After his reminder, Gu Qingjiu looked down and noticed that his military jacket was embroidered with the insignia of a three-star officer. Gu Qingjiu still remembered the rank division of the officers in the training camp that Chen Haoyang had shown them, so as to avoid them not recognizing the higher-ups.
This person was a second rank assistant commander!
Gu Qingjiu immediately lowered her eyes and saluted to Huo Yingcheng. “I’m sorry to have offended you, Assistant Commander! I didn’t recognize you just now…”
Huo Yingcheng was amused by her last words. Seeing Gu Qingjiu looking at his badge and became submitting herself after a split second, he was even happier. “It’s alright. But you’re such an interesting girl. Why did you come here?”
Gu Qingjiu was silent. She felt a little embarrassed to say that she was lost, but she did not dare not to say it.
“I took the wrong path…”
“No wonder!”
Huo Yingcheng seemed easier to talk to, which was quite different from his ferocious attitude when he faced the passers-by the other day. When he finished speaking, he suddenly said to the area beside him, “Commander He, your new recruit is here. She got lost. I don’t know the way around here, but you came here two or three times before. Can you give her directions?”
Gu Qingjiu noticed that on the other side, bamboo leaves covered which, there seemed to be a slender and tall figure in military uniform.
She knew Huo Yingcheng would not be talking to himself.
But…
Hearing Huo Yingcheng’s words, the man slowly turned around, revealing his cold and yet handsome face. He was full of temptation from the abstinence coming from him and he looked at Gu Qingjiu with eyes that were clear as water.
Gu Qingjiu paused and then saluted. “Hello, Chief Instructor!”
