Chapter 535: A Sudden Flu

Gu Qian and Chu Lian felt pretty embarra.s.sed.

After finding out about Gu Qingjiu and the Chief Instructor, they felt something intricate in their hearts.

Even the Commanding Officer stood by the side with a constrained expression.

The Commanding Officer wasn’t very old. At most, he was a young lad of around 27 to 28, likely unmarried.

Not bothering to hide their relations.h.i.+p, the frowning He Niancheng reached out and caressed Gu Qingjiu’s sweaty face with a finger.

He then got up and asked, “Why did Qingjiu suddenly get a fever?”

“Reporting to the Chief Instructor, I’m not sure. The school doctor said that Cla.s.smate Gu Qingjiu contracted infectious influenza, that she must have been in contact with the source of the virus outside, thus these symptoms. I’m not sure about the exact details for now. These three students belong to the same dormitory as Cla.s.smate Gu Qingjiu.”

Upon hearing this, He Niancheng immediately looked towards the three girls.

Qi Xiaoran merely paused for a moment. However, faced with He Niancheng’s intimidating presence…

Gu Qian and Chu Lian felt their hearts palpitating.

Although the man before them was indeed good-looking, he seemed like someone who couldn’t get along with another person in a friendly manner.

He gave off scary vibes.

Without waiting for He Niancheng to ask, Chu Lian spoke up, “We don’t know the details either. Qingjiu kept sneezing when we were training yesterday. Last night when she came back, she took a shower, and I think it got more serious then.”

“Do you know what the cause is?”

“No.”

Chu Lian shook her head. Seeing He Niancheng’s dark and cold countenance, she swallowed her saliva. “We have no idea. Right now, other than Qingjiu, the infirmary doctor said there’s no one else in the school who has contracted this flu virus. I think Qingjiu went somewhere on Sunday, but I have no idea where…”

Of course, He Niancheng knew about this matter.

But back then, Gu Qingjiu was with him.

She was only away when she went to meet with her mother and sister-in-law.

At the thought of this, he said with furrowed brows, “Got it. All of you may leave first. I’ll stay around to take care of things.”

Even at the risk of exposing his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng didn’t try to hide it.

His behavior was as good as confirming that something was going on between him and Gu Qingjiu.

Or else why would a Chief Instructor be taking care of a sick girl?

They left as they were told and went off to collect their checkup results.

After they left, He Niancheng made a phone call. “Joker, check on Gu Qingjiu’s activity over the recent weekend. See if there’s anything that warrants attention.”

Without having to tell him explicitly, Joker would find out about Gu Qingjiu’s current condition, regardless.

“Okay Major-general, I will let you know the results ASAP.”

After he had hung up the phone, He Niancheng looked worriedly towards Gu Qingjiu.

Her face was still a little pale. Even in an asleep state, she was still fidgeting uneasily, as though she was in extreme discomfort.

After a short while, Gu Qingjiu suddenly started calling out, “Chief Instructor… Chief Instructor…”

Her voice was tiny as a mosquito, yet He Niancheng could immediately tell what she was saying.

He grabbed Gu Qingjiu’s hand, not at all minding the fact that it was covered in sweat. He lowered his head and said in a warm voice, “Be good, I’m here.”

Perhaps because of his comforting voice, Gu Qingjiu gradually fell silent.

Her creased brows also gradually eased.

He Niancheng looked at the time. It was only five in the morning at the moment.

Yet, he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Gu Qingjiu’s condition seemed sudden, likely not because someone deliberately did this to her…
