Chapter 241: Zero Communication

“Nothing much.”

He Niancheng’s voice was as simple as water.

Gu Qingjiu felt a bit embarra.s.sed and said, “Then I’ll…”

“I heard about what happened during your target shooting practice.”

His sudden statement caused Gu Qingjiu to swallow her words.

She felt anxious for some reason. “Did you? Actually, I didn’t expect myself to perform that well either.”

“It’s not about expectations. You should have that ability either way.”

He Niancheng’s words were as smooth and cool as water flowing through glaciers.

It should have made her feet cold, but it instead made Gu Qingjiu feel warm and fuzzy inside.

“Rest well.”

After that, he hung up the call rather quickly.

Gu Qingjiu could only hear the thumping of her heart after he had said that.

It felt a little… different.

She knocked the back of her head in unease as she sat by her bedside in a daze.

It felt like there was something strange… even in the air around her.

Something which made her feel uneasy.

With a soft ‘creek,’ Qi Xiaoran came in from outside…

Only to see Gu Qingjiu inside their room. She even noted the turmoil roaring in her usually calm eyes.

Gu Qingjiu turned to her and noticed the beads of perspiration that covered Qi Xiaoran’s forehead.

They’ve probably just finished their training.

But since it had been so many days, Gu Qingjiu didn’t especially ask about Qi Xiaoran’s matters.

It was instead Tang Yuyu who informed Gu Qingjiu about some things after knowing that Qi Xiaoran was her roommate.

Qi Xiaoran was a bit of a loner. Even after being in the camp for three years, she didn’t have a single friend.

She even mentioned that they didn’t know why Qi Xiaoran never received any punishments for always returning late at night. That alone made many people look down on her.

Her previous roommates used to lock Qi Xiaoran out of the room.

With that, Gu Qingjiu finally understood why Qi Xiaoran thanked her for the night she opened the door for her.

Probably because she was too shocked.

And the person who came looking for trouble the other day was the Third Unit’s, He Qiu.

He Qiu’s background wasn’t that simple. Her father was the deputy commanding officer of the camp.

In such a place, she could basically do anything.

This was why He Qiu acted arrogantly and looked down on Qi Xiaoran.

But the main reason He Qiu despised Qi Xiaoran was because the person she fancied didn’t like her but liked Qi Xiaoran instead, and yet the girl had the gall to reject him.

That angered He Qiu!

But because of her pride, He Qiu would definitely not say such an embarra.s.sing thing. Hence, He Qi used Qi Xiaoran’s rejection of her G.o.dbrother as an excuse to find trouble with her.

He Qiu frequently fought with Qi Xiaoran. More accurately, they surrounded and beat her up. However, as long as it didn’t go overboard, the people in the camp would turn a blind eye to it.

No one dared to intervene.

As sacred as army laws were, He Qiu had the deputy vice commander as her father.

Qi Xiaoran could only swallow whatever grievances she had.

But that was not how Gu Qingjiu felt.

That day, she saw how Qi Xiaoran retaliated against He Qiu. Seeing Qi Xiaoran, she didn’t look like the sort who would take it lying down.

And it had been a few days since He Qiu came to look for trouble.

Qi Xiaoran would sometimes come back late at night, but then it only occurred twice or thrice. It wasn’t to the point where Gu Qingjiu had any comments about it…

Even if she had no knowledge of what Qi Xiaoran was doing outside at that late.

A week had pa.s.sed, but Gu Qingjiu’s relations.h.i.+p with Qi Xiaoran barely improved.

Both of them had quiet personalities, and Gu Qingjiu wasn’t the type to initiate anything unless she felt that it was worth it.

Now that Qi Xiaoran had returned to the dormitory, both of them did not converse at all either.
