During nightfall, once Gu Qingjiu’s father returned, Qi Yuefeng told him about Gu Qingjiu pa.s.sing the selection and that she was about to join the military.

Gu Hong was slightly more composed and calm than Qi Yuefeng.

Although he couldn’t bear to let Gu Qingjiu leave either, he was still the man that supported and carried the burdens of the entire family. It was one reason why doesn’t seem so soft and irresolute about certain matters.

“Qingjiu, the military camp cannot be compared to home. If you truly have a dream, you will need to persevere and endure any hards.h.i.+ps before you can succeed!”

Compared to Qi Yuefeng, his words were more motivational instead of heartwrenching.

As he spoke, Gu Hong caressed Gu Qingjiu’s head once more. The expression on his face seemed happy and glad. “Actually, we’re both very happy that you’ve already grown up and already making your own decisions. You know what you need already.”

Gu Qingjiu’s body was weak, and Gu Hong knew this very well.

However, it was only a soft weakness. It was the same as him usually teasing Gu Qingjiu for having a princess life.

However, Gu Qingjiu was destined to never become that princess he often spoke about.

She knew this very well.

Hearing her father’s words, Gu Qingjiu nodded firmly. “Dad, I know. I will work hard!”

She knew that her father wanted to say that it was alright if she couldn’t endure the hards.h.i.+p either, and she fully knew that he decided not to spew such words for it might cause her confidence to falter a little.

Seeing how determined and serious his daughter looked, a weird sadness grew in Gu Hong’s heart.

His daughter had ultimately grown up, and she had her own thoughts now.

Now, she was going to experience the world for herself. He didn’t know what his daughter would accomplish in the future.

However, as long as she was willing to work hard for it now, it was enough already.

On the 3rd, Gu Qingjiu arrived at school on time in the morning once more.

This time, a teacher from the school had helped arrange the students that pa.s.sed the selection to go to the hospital for their routine checkups.

When many students arrived in school and went to cla.s.s as per usual, some of them pa.s.sed by the group of students Gu Qingjiu was part of. They were basically the ones that were about to step into a completely different world. Some students were envious, while despise appeared in the eyes of others.

Some people thought that this was a way to get out of the trouble of learning, but there was a small portion that also entertained the thought that this was the only place for students—that didn’t like to study—could go to.

From then on, they would part and be people of completely different worlds when they meet again.

Unless a coincidence happened.

Gu Qingjiu took a last glance at the school. Under the urging from the school teacher, she got on the bus the military sent over and headed towards Dayi City’s hospital for the checkup.

Because it was a special checkup, after each of them had their full-body checkup, the results were churned out at the fastest speed. After all, the military never waited.

Because Gu Qingjiu had a morning checkup, she couldn’t eat breakfast or lunch. Together with the other students, all of them were so hungry that the front of their chests was touching their backs already. Her body was originally weak, and she felt even worse from having an empty stomach. She was so hungry she was feeling a little dizzy already. She finally managed to wait until the series of tests were over and all they had to do now was to wait for the results. Gu Qingjiu hurriedly asked the soldier guarding them for a break and ran to get a bowl of wontons to eat before she recovered.

Once she was done eating, she caressed her slightly round tummy. She could not help but exclaim in her mind. With her body, she would definitely suffer terribly in the military. If she cannot withstand it, everything she had worked for would be to waste.

However, at the thought of the suffering she experienced in her previous life, and the coming threat of the Yu family, it seemed that there was nothing she cannot handle anymore.

Even if she cannot endure it, she had to!

After eating, Gu Qingjiu took note of the time and returned to the hospital. She received her results very quickly.

Gu Qingjiu was completely healthy and had pa.s.sed the checkup requirements.

She was officially a new soldier!
