The Chief Instructor is busy.

Nan Yingxuan replied to Yu Baoers question.

Oh.

Yu Baoer scrunched her nose and felt a little awkward.

And it was because she was not familiar with both Commander Huo and Doctor Nan.

But in front of these two men who exuded loads of male pheromones, Yu Baoer couldnt help but feel a little bashful.

Gu Qingjiu, on the other hand, was a lot calmer. After all, she had seen Commander Huo and Doctor Nan on many occasions. Since they already knew about her embarrassing situation, why wouldnt she be able to stay calm?

It was instead Huo Yingcheng who had an amused stare at Gu Qingjiu. He suddenly called out, Qingjiu.

Hm?

Gu Qingjiu got startled, but she still turned around to face Huo Yingcheng.

His way of calling her had already become a norm, so much so that she got used to it.

Do you see those bunch of balloons over there? Huo Yingcheng pointed across the road to a place about a hundred meters away. There were floating cartoon balloons drawn on a wall that was eye-catching.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. I see them, Commander Huo.

There is an alley next to those balloon drawings. Go there and youll find a courtyard once you enter. The Chief Instructor is there. Go look at what he is doing and remind him were going back soon.

Huo Yingchengs words had baffled Gu Qingjiu.

Commander Huo, cant you go there yourself?

Even if she wanted to say that, it seemed inappropriate for her to voice it out loud.

After all, one should not defy a superiors orders.

Gu Qingjiu obeyed. I understand, Commander Huo.

It was just a distance of a hundred meters, and he wanted her to look for someone.

In a low tone, Gu Qingjiu said to Yu Baoer, Wait for me here for a bit.

And she started walking towards the alley.

Yu Baoer gaped as she looked at her leaving silhouette. It felt like she should say something, but it wasnt her place to.

What the hell? She wasnt even familiar with Commander Huo, so why was she left there!

But at the thought that the person who Gu Jingjiu went to find was the Chief Instructor, she couldnt help but shudder, especially when she remembered his cold and stern face.

Upon Gu Qingjius departure, Nan Yingxuan looked thoughtfully at Huo Yingcheng.

Huo Yingcheng revealed a smile, trying his best to act genial to Yu Baoer. You and Qingjiu knew each other before this?

But this smile which came out of nowhere gave Yu Baoer creeps instead.

The arrogant air around her dissipated instantly, and she stuttered, N No. I met her in the army.

Oh

Huo Yingcheng nodded as if hearing a huge revelation and then waved his hand. Lets go. Theres a small eatery over there, I will treat you to some food and we shall wait for them there.

Yu Baoer was speechless.

She did not want to go.

But she couldnt reject them either, so she could only pitifully follow behind.

Only

Following Huo Yingchengs instructions, Gu Qingjiu arrived at the alley.

Cartoon balloons were hung on an enormous tree in front of the wide alley, swaying as the wind blew.

The alley wasnt huge. On one side was a tall wall and on the other was a house.

She could see an ancestral house with its doors wide open from where she was, and it gave off a nationalist feel.

Voices rang from inside the house, too.

Just as Gu Qingjiu was about to enter, she spotted a group of people with an aggressive aura walking towards the place where she was from the corner of her eyes.
