Gu Qingjiu merely smiled lightly at Yu Bao’er’s words, but she did not respond.
“Qingjiu, we’ve been wanting to visit the village located down the foot of the mountain for some time. How about we go this week?”
Yu Bao’er suddenly mentioned this matter to Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu, too, felt bored from staying in the military camp, and they couldn’t simply go out at whim.
But since Yu Bao’er had mentioned the village several times, Gu Qingjiu also wanted to check that place out.
Hence, she nodded. “Okay, let’s go this week. But you’ve got to work hard the day after tomorrow. If you win, there might be a reward or something.”
“Forget it.” Yu Bao’er pouted. “At most, it will be some merit award to complement one on winning glory for the team. The military is miserable!”
It seemed like in Yu Bao’er’s eyes, nearly everyone in the military was rather stingy.
Gu Qingjiu smiled and didn’t remark.
Although she had lost the duel that afternoon, Gu Qingjiu didn’t take it to heart.
The training the next day didn’t go easy on those who failed but proceeded as usual.
However, when afternoon came, something that Gu Qingjiu had nearly forgotten about happened.
She was eating with Yu Bao’er at noon when from outside the busy canteen, a senior soldier entered.
He looked ordinary. But since he had undergone training for a long time, he was full of spirit. The instant he walked in, he asked a few people something and then turned to look towards Gu Qingjiu—a visible surprise and joy in his eyes.
While Gu Qingjiu was eating, Yu Bao’er nudged her with an elbow. “Qingjiu, someone’s looking at you.”
Gu Qingjiu raised her head and saw a male soldier walking towards her.
She didn’t know him, but when he walked over, he spoke in a friendly tone. “You’re Gu Qingjiu, aren’t you? I’m a friend of your older brother, Gu Qingmo. Your brother came to look for you.”
Hearing her brother’s name, Gu Qingjiu instantly got to her feet.
“My brother is here?”
There was a tone of delight in her voice, for she didn’t expect that her brother would come looking for her in the military.
The guy nodded with a smile. “Yes, come with me. He’s waiting for you in the rest area.”
Without any hesitation, Gu Qingjiu nodded.
Seeing this, Yu Bao’er stood up and grabbed Gu Qingjiu’s sleeves. “Qingjiu, I want to come along with you.”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t object. She softly replied, “Okay, then let’s go together.”
Then the two of them went with the man.
The military wasn’t that strict about family visitations; so long as they reported accordingly, they would approve their visits. But Gu Qingjiu didn’t expect her older brother to come over.
Recalling that she hadn’t mentioned this matter to Gu Qingmo over the phone, she wondered if Gu Qingmo would be angry when he saw her.
Or have some other major reaction.
On the way there, Yu Bao’er, who was extremely curious about Gu Qingjiu’s older brother, kept asking this and that. Gu Qingjiu simply replied and told Yu Bao’er that she would find out when she saw him later.
As for the man who came to pick them up, although he was her older brother’s friend, he appeared particularly interested in Gu Qingjiu’s situation since he kept asking Gu Qingjiu about some unrelated matters.
Gu Qingjiu usually didn’t appear too friendly towards strangers. Even though this man was her older brother’s friend, they weren’t related by blood. But on the account that he came to pick her up, she answered him a word or two.
