Chapter 128: Thoughts

The instant Gu Qingmo heard this, a look of pity instantly appeared on his face.

“I was wondering why a premium grade man like your Chief Instructor thrives in such a small town. So, he doesn’t like women!”

Gu Qingmo’s regretful tone of voice made Gu Qingjiu’s heart skip a beat.

After all, it was a little immoral for her to be telling others about the Chief Instructor’s s.e.xual orientation.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu reminded him once again. “Brother, remember not to tell anyone.”

“Who can I tell? Am I that sort of person?”

Gu Qingmo waved his hands and looked at his younger sister, feeling it was a pity indeed.

Gu Qingjiu indeed looked pretty good after slimming down. Even though she wasn’t stunningly beautiful, at least she looked compatible standing next to that Chief Instructor. In the end, it turned out he had been overthinking!

‘Knock, knock, knock!’

“Qingjiu, Qingmo. It’s time for dinner. What are you doing inside the room?”

Qi Yuefeng’s voice rang from outside the door. Gu Qingmo got to his feet right away and patted Gu Qingjiu on her head. “Stop thinking about whatever it is you’re thinking and go eat. You were away for two months, Mom’s been missing you every day.”

Hearing such words of genuine concern, Gu Qingjiu felt her nose sting.

But she could perfectly control her emotions now, and even if she was feeling something she wouldn’t dare show it.

With a nod, she then followed Gu Qingmo out to eat.

She had come back just in time for dinner.

She went to the kitchen to help Qi Yuefeng get the utensils. After being busy in the kitchen for a day, she was finally free, so she pulled Gu Qingjiu over to take a look at her figure.

“Aiyah. You became so thin. Even the military uniform looks loose on you now. The sweater inside is too big for you too, isn’t it? Then your old clothes are no longer suitable for you now. Mom will take you shopping tomorrow and buy you some pretty clothes.”

Qi Yuefeng had rambled incessantly about it before, but after having seen her daughter had slim down so much, she was smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing her daughter become pretty, her mother naturally felt happy.

Regardless, her daughter was her precious darling.

Gu Qingjiu was carrying the last dish as Qi Yuefeng helplessly pulled her to take a look.

“Mom, let me take the dish out first. We can talk later, there are still guests in the house.”

Qi Yuefeng nodded. “Yes yes, quickly bring it over. I’ll bring the soup over once it’s ready. All of you can eat first.”

Hence, Gu Qingjiu brought out the last dish—scallop vermicelli meat.

Everyone was already seated at the round table in the living room.

As Gu Qingmo set down a pair of chopsticks for Gu Qingjiu, he asked, “Do you want something to drink?”

The warm voice was clearly like her older brother.

A look of envy flashed by in Hu Linghan’s eyes when she saw this.

And also the shyness of a little girl.

Noticing this, Gu Hong smiled lightly at Gu Qingmo and said, “Qingmo, pour Linghan a gla.s.s of mango juice.”

“Okay.”

After Gu Qingmo poured for Gu Qingjiu, he turned around and poured Hu Linghan a gla.s.s as well.

Hu Linghan kept gazing at Gu Qingmo.

There was a dazzle in her eyes and searing heat in her gaze for some reason.

So searingly hot that even Gu Qingjiu noticed.

She felt a little weird seeing this. Her older brother had a girlfriend, so towards Hu Linghan’s intentions, he could only pretend he didn’t see it and politely treat her as he would a guest.

During the dinner, other than the two girls who held different thoughts, the adults seemed to have a jolly good time.
