Chapter 560

: Distracting Her Using Food

She sounded certain.

Even though she hadn’t seen Gu Qingjiu for a few weeks, Yu Bao’er could detect any change in her at one glance.

Gu Qingjiu forced a smile, but she didn’t deny it in front of Yu Bao’er. “A bit.”

After opening the door, Yu Bao’er went in with Gu Qingjiu. She asked cautiously, “What’s the matter?”

She instantly thought of Chief Instructor He.

Her guess was spot-on.

The next moment, Gu Qingjiu indeed started telling her all about it. “Not long ago, I ate something outside that gave me viral flu. I was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. And then the Chief Instructor came to visit me, and thus our relations.h.i.+p got exposed. The military side forcibly sent the Chief Instructor back to Penalan…”

Towards the end, Gu Qingjiu’s voice sounded increasingly low.

Yu Bao’er was confused.

“Why?”

She didn’t quite understand. “Penalan? You mean, Chief Instructor is from Penalan?”

Yu Bao’er had no idea He Niancheng was from Penalan.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Back then, the Chief Instructor was transferred here from Penalan.”

Although she didn’t know what the reason was, she supposed he was transferred here?

“…”

Yu Bao’er was shocked. But judging from Gu Qingjiu’s countenance, she knew this situation was a little complex.

“Err… then did the Chief Instructor say when he’s coming back?”

Her first concern was this as well.

“He sent a message saying he’ll be back shortly. But I don’t know when that is. Furthermore, I cannot contact him.”

“…”

If the other party wasn’t the Chief Instructor, Yu Bao’er would have said it was likely gone case.

But looking at Gu Qingjiu’s face, how could she say something like that?

When Gu Qingjiu spoke, her expression was so calm she didn’t look like someone who had just parted with her boyfriend.

Yu Bao’er recalled when she last saw Gu Qingjiu. The latter looked shy when she spoke of the Chief Instructor.

Only people madly in love would be in such a state.

It hadn’t been all that long ago…

How upset was Xiao Jiu’er for something like this to happen?

“You said you fell sick last week?”

Recalling the crux of the matter, she immediately changed the topic.

When Gu Qingjiu recounted the entire incident to her, Yu Bao’er was lost for words.

She didn’t know if she should say Gu Qingjiu was unlucky or some other reason.

She rubbed her head and went to the fridge to retrieve a bottle of water for Gu Qingjiu. “Do you want to drink some water? What should we eat tonight? There’s a restaurant near my place that serves extremely delicious crayfish. Do you want to go try that?”

Since she didn’t have any other ways to distract Gu Qingjiu from that upsetting matter, she tried her best not to mention it in front of her.

It wasn’t that Yu Bao’er couldn’t sense that Gu Qingjiu was feeling down.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t object to it and merely replied in a bland tone, “Okay.”

It seemed like when one was in a bad mood, they liked to distract themselves using food or some other method.

The restaurant Yu Bao’er took Gu Qingjiu to was extremely crowded at night.

Also, it was very hot.

Although it was hot eating such stuff on a summer day, it was the atmosphere they were after.

Moreover, there was air-conditioning in the restaurant.

Yu Bao’er and Gu Qingjiu ordered several kilograms of crayfish and also two bottles of beer.

Gu Qingjiu was the one who wanted to drink the beer.

In the past, she was never one to drink alcohol, but the gloominess she was feeling made her yearn to try drinking it.
