Chapter 374: Gossip Center

“I’m going to take a nap now. Will go and find you when I have the time!”

Gu Qingjiu felt like she could say these words in a smoother manner now.

After hanging up the call, she stared at the ceiling and chuckled to herself in a dazed manner.

When Gu Qian entered, she saw the expression on Gu Qingjiu’s face which she couldn’t hide in time.

“Why are you chuckling so sneakily in broad daylight?”

Gu Qian was curious while Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

How was she chuckling sneakily!?

She tossed her phone to her bed in an imperceptible manner. When she saw Chu Lian enter behind Gu Qian, she asked, “You two finished eating?”

“Of course! And you were even faster than us!”

Gu Qian pounced unto her own bed as she bared her teeth and complained of the pain she felt all over her body. “We were made to run ten rounds around the field and do several hundred squats this morning. Right after training we had to go straight for cla.s.s. I’m beginning to suspect I’m not me anymore. In the afternoon we still have to continue with our training. When is this ever going to end?!”

Chu Lian didn’t behave as exaggeratedly as her. As the timetables for each specialization was different, training times were different as well. She merely smiled in a gloating manner. “Thankfully, my schedule was packed with cla.s.ses today.”

If one’s schedule was packed with cla.s.ses, it meant there wouldn’t be any training.

Gu Qian rolled her eyes at her.

Gu Qingjiu laid onto her bed and comforted Gu Qian. “It’ll be fine once you get used to it. When I first entered the troops back then, I had felt like I was going to die every day. Later after I pushed through it, I felt that the hards.h.i.+p I endured was all worth it.”

Although it had been a long time since she first entered the troops, it only felt like yesterday now that she recalled that time.

At that time, she wasn’t outstanding in any area. It was only training some time in the troops, that she slowly started to transform.

If she hadn’t entered the troops, she wouldn’t have discovered her exceptional talent in shooting.

And she wouldn’t meet the Chief Instructor…

Why did she think of the Chief Instructor again?

The minute she became idle, her mind was filled with that man with exquisite eyes and otherworldly aura.

Gu Qian’s complaints pulled her back to reality. “How can I compare with you? You’ve stayed for at least half a year in the troops. In the past I was pampered and fed well by my mother. I had never imagined that life in a military school would be so tough!”

“Where else could it be tougher than a military school?”

Chu Lian rolled her eyes next to her. “So many people wish to enter the military school and don’t have the chance to. You should cherish your opportunity. Our country pays for our tuition now and arranges jobs for us in the future. What else do you want?”

Those were the reasons many people chose to enroll in a military school.

One didn’t have to pay tuition, and their expenses were paid for. They could even claim their transportation expenses when they returned home every year during Chinese New Year. Every single student in a military school got to enjoy these lucrative benefits.

More importantly, upon graduation, the school was responsible for allocating jobs for them.

Moreover, it would be a military position, and their family members also got to enjoy substantial benefits.

It was getting increasingly difficult to enter a military school. Those who managed to enter, did so with luck and their own merits.

This was also the reason Gu Qiannever said she wanted to leave the military school despite her complaints.

“I was merely venting. Why are you being so fierce!?”

Gu Qian was puffed up with anger. “But it’s truly too tough in a military school. With so many male soldiers around us, we’re not even dating any of them! Speaking of which, Qingjiu, did you find that boyfriend of yours in military school or did you know him before you entered? You had the mood and time to find a boyfriend when you were in the troops?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Why was she suddenly dragged into this?

She gave the question some thought. She got to know the Chief Instructor in the troops, but she only confessed to him after she entered the military school.

But…

“After entering the school. Indeed, I didn’t have the mood and the time when I was in the troops.”

Mainly, she had thought that she would never get to see the Chief Instructor again back then.
