Dinner was simple, with two dishes and a soup. At the dining table, Qi Yuefeng still had some murmurs of discontent about Gu Qingjiu joining the military.

But it was a mother’s worry for her daughter. She was worried about Gu Qingjiu’s condition, so she was bound to give her some warning.

For example, what she should pay attention to in the military.

“If you join the military, you should be going to the military camp in Dayi City. I have a friend there. I’ll contact him and ask him to look after you,” Mr. Gu said and his kindness made Gu Qingjiu nod. In fact, she did not refuse.

“My friend is not a high-ranking official, but it’s still okay to keep an eye on you so that we will be aware if anything happens to you inside the camp. Qingjiu, if you can’t bear it there, you can always come back. We won’t object to it.”

Such thoughtful words made Gu Qingjiu’s eyes turn red.

She lowered her head and tried to control her emotions so that her parents would not find out.

Fortunately, she had always been like that from before—silent when she ate—so her parents did not think that anything was wrong.

After dinner, Gu Qingjiu returned to her room to rest.

She wanted to sleep with her mother, but she was afraid that her parents would worry, thinking that something had happened to her.

If not, she was too different from her normal self.

Qi Yuefeng was more easy-going, while Mr. Gu was attentive. As a person in charge of the company, he was careful and serious. If there was something wrong with Gu Qingjiu, he would easily notice it, so Gu Qingjiu did not dare show her agitated and sensitive emotions.

Her emotions were all because she had come back to life and had not seen her parents for a few years. How could she not be agitated when she opened her eyes and found that she was in time and that everything was in the best condition!

But very soon, she calmed down.

After two years of training in prison, she could now control herself.

But after closing her eyes in bed, she could not sleep. She then forced herself to do 15 minutes of sit-ups.

A sudden urge to exercise might not have any effect, but it had the effect of aiding sleep.

The 15 minutes of sit-ups almost exhausted Gu Qingjiu’s limit. She had just taken her bath but after doing the sit-ups, she was full of sweat, her whole body was shaking and she was panting heavily. Finally, her legs turned weak and she fell towards the bed.

She had just exercised and should not lie down so quickly.

But the short over ten minutes was also very effective. Gu Qingjiu, who was lying in bed, fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Gu Qingjiu arrived at school and handed over the distribution form to her form teacher, Song Yin.

Song Yin was the form teacher of Gu Qingjiu’s cla.s.s, Cla.s.s 4 of the Third Years. Usually, she was not fond of students who were not good in their studies, let alone Gu Qingjiu, who could not integrate well with others. For such a

‘freak’

, Song Yin naturally sneered at Gu Qingjiu when she handed the distribution form.

“What happened to you yesterday? Zhong Xiaoxiao told me that you were not feeling well. You didn’t even ask for leave and just went home straight? Do you still treat me as your form teacher?”

Gu Qingjiu knew that it was her own fault and did not argue. Lowering her head, she looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Miss Song.”

Her att.i.tude was good, so Song Yin only looked at her silently and did not continue. She glanced at the tick on the form and said in a shrill voice, “You want to join the military?”

This high-pitched voice immediately attracted the attention of the other teachers in the office.
