Chapter 248: If I Let You Pursue Further Studies, Are You Willing?

Gu Qingjiu stayed overnight at home.

She made a call to Gu Hong, but he still stayed at the company and didn’t return.

When Gu Qingjiu called him, she detected nothing weird.

And she couldn’t tell the severity of the problem at the office.

Because even if there was a problem, he wouldn’t show it in front of his children.

Since Gu Qingjiu must return to the camp in the afternoon, she had no time to visit Gu Hong’s office.

Furthermore, even if she went, she might not understand what was going on.

Still shrouded in confusion, Gu Qingjiu returned to the camp.

Before she boarded the bus, she sent He Niancheng a message.

She was more careful this time as well.

But then again, what the Chief Instructor did last time should be enough to scare the Yu family.

They shouldn’t make any rash actions.

Thankfully enough, no other incidents happened along the way.

Gu Qingjiu returned to the camp safely.

The moment she arrived, she sent He Niancheng another message.

This time, he replied.

A single word reply, “Okay.”

But seeing that response, Gu Qingjiu still felt overwhelmed with joy.

When she returned to the dormitory, she pushed the door open.

Gu Qingjiu saw Qi Xiaoran frantically looking at her cell phone.

When they locked eyes, Gu Qingjiu saw the panic evident in her eyes.

Moreover, the voice that sounded from Qi Xiaoran’s cell phone exposed what she was doing.

“Ranran, what’s the matter? Is the signal poor?”

That voice was a clear—a soothing to the ear male voice.

It was incredibly gentle as if a whisper beside your ear.

It startled Gu Qingjiu, while Qi Xiaoran looked defeated. “Older brother, I have some things to settle, so I’ll hang up first. I’ll tell you about it later.”

This was the first time in so many days that Gu Qingjiu heard Qi Xiaoran’s voice at a normal volume.

It was unexpectedly silky—so very soft…

It was cute and was far from how she looked.

Somehow, Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt that she especially liked Qi Xiaoran’s voice.

Qi Xiaoran cut off the call, while Gu Qingjiu placed her bag down. “If I disturbed you, I can go out. It’s okay.”

Qi Xiaoran was talking to her older brother.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t expect her to have an older brother.

But Qi Xiaoran shook her head and left the room with her cell phone.

As Gu Qingjiu looked at her leaving silhouette, she felt like Qi Xiaoran wasn’t expecting her to return so suddenly.

She looked like she was caught off guard.

She was just talking to her older brother. What was there for her to panic?

Perhaps Qi Xiaoran didn’t like people eavesdropping on her conversation, so to be polite, Gu Qingjiu offered that she could go out and give her space instead.

But the girl had already left the room and Gu Qingjiu couldn’t do anything else about it. She didn’t chase after her either.

She shrugged and recalled Qi Xiaoran’s soft voice once more. It was a very likable tone of voice, akin to women from Jiangnan. It differed vastly from her cold image.

Gu Qingjiu chuckled as she laid on the bed and played with her cell phone.

Monday morning. A new week of training.

For the week, Gu Qingjiu had calculator studies.

There were many lessons in the advanced training camp and calculator studies were one of them. It was also a topic that Gu Qingjiu liked.

She once considered taking up a mathematics-related course such as computer programming if she didn’t make it into the army.

While she was in class, Instructor Mu called her outside.

His straightforward question startled Gu Qingjiu. “If I gave you a chance to take your studies up a notch, would you be willing? To go straight to a university.”

Studies?

It shocked Gu Qingjiu.

She was doing well in the camp, so why was he asking her if she wanted to study further in university?
