Chapter 256: Jealousy and Hatred

Qi Xiaoran was evidently calmer than Gu Qingjiu.

She didn’t bother looking at the letter and simply went back to her former position, with hands behind her back.

“The two of you can return to your homes to prepare for a few days. The air ticket is on the 5th of March. Report at the university yourselves, no one will bring you there.”

Zhou Jianguo spoke. When Gu Qingjiu heard that it was an air ticket, she was a little alarmed.

The military was so generous?

“The flight is eight in the morning on the 5th of March. Remember.”

Mu Nanji added on.

After that, Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran were allowed to leave.

At the door, she and Qi Xiaoran met eyes. It was rare but Qi Xiaoran spoke up first.

“See you at the airport.”

After that, she rushed off, probably to pack her luggage at the dormitory.

Seeing that, Gu Qingjiu’s lips lifted up.

She returned to the dormitory as well.

The moment they left, Zhou Jianguo looked towards Mu Nanji. “It’s quite understandable for Gu Qingjiu to go, but this Qi Xiaoran…”

Evidently, even he didn’t know why Qi Xiaoran was nominated on the list.

It startled Mu Nanji. “Didn’t Commander Zhou and the higher-ups opted for this?”

He didn’t know as well.

Zhou Jianguo then realized something.

Mu Nanji’s words meant that he had no idea which in turn gave the sociable Zhou Jianguo an idea.

Qi Xiaoran’s approval didn’t go through him.

It was directly sent down by the higher-ups.

No one knew who exactly the said person was.

It seemed like he had to take a look at Qi Xiaoran’s background information.

…

The two who returned to the dormitory began to pack their belongings.

Qi Xiaoran’s things were as little as Gu Qingjiu’s.

In the dormitory’s cabinet, both of their clothes occupied less than half the s.p.a.ce in it.

March was still cold, so it was better for her to bring more winter wear.

But since she would be able to return to Dayi City during the summer break, she didn’t have to worry about the changing seasons.

Gu Qingjiu was already thinking about rus.h.i.+ng home while packing.

After all, Commander Zhou said that they could go back home to prepare.

With her luggage done, Gu Qingjiu went to Tang Yuyu’s dormitory.

Tang Yuyu was resting in her room. When she saw Gu Qingjiu, she was a little shocked.

“Yuyu, I’m here to let you know something.”

When Tang Yuyu strode towards her, Gu Qingjiu lowered her volume and said, “I’m leaving the camp because I’ve been transferred away.”

Tang Yuyu recovered from her trance and her eyes twinkled. “Congratulations. Where are they transferring you?”

She was just casually asking, but Gu Qingjiu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she answered. “To a military academy.”

It astonished Tang Yuyu.

Going to the military academy was something she didn’t expect, but her first thought was to be happy for Gu Qingjiu.

It was rare to have a girl like her who would genuinely be happy for her.

Standing outside of Tang Yuyu’s room, Xie Ya saw Gu Qingjiu as she pa.s.sed by.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu, Xie Ya’s eyes burned with anger.

She originally thought that entering the advanced training camp before Gu Qingjiu was considered a victory.

Who knew that after Gu Qingjiu entered, that prodigious shooting ability completely took away everyone’s attention?

She was the first person to enter the advanced training camp from their group. With the exception of combat, which she was proud of, her other skills weren’t exceptionally good.

Against people who have trained for years in the advanced training camp, they would only barely treat her as a rival.

She wasn’t like Gu Qingjiu whose name was now known throughout the entire camp!

With that, how could Xie Ya not grit her teeth in jealousy and hatred!?
