Chapter 624: My Mother Wishes to See You

It couldn’t be called disgusting.

Instead, it should be described as horrifying.

One could see that was a section of a person’s arm.

But it seemed like someone had neatly sliced a piece of flesh off from that arm. The viscous red blood and eerily white bones peeking out interweaved, surrounded by pinkish flesh…

Ordinary people would subconsciously not want to take a second look.

Gu Qingjiu stared at it for a good ten seconds before returning it to the nurse.

Her face was expressionless.

Even the nurse felt a tad afraid.

She felt that Gu Qingjiu gave off a somewhat sinister vibe then.

Usually, such a wound resulted from being uniformly pared by something. It could be an accident, or it could be man-made.

No idea what this young lady had been through.

After the nurse went out, Lu Ziyang walked in from outside. “I heard you asked to see the photo of your original wound?”

Looking at Lu Ziyang, who was standing at the door, Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yeah.”

Lu Ziyang walked over. “How did it feel?”

Gu Qingjiu curled her lips and answered honestly, “Quite exciting.”

This answer made Lu Ziyang freeze.

With brows slightly furrowed, he had an indistinct feeling that Gu Qingjiu had somewhat changed.

In the past, he felt that this girl differed entirely from what her information described her to be. Now, she was behaving differently from before.

But he said nothing about that. He simply said, “The doctor said he’ll try to let you discharge in a week. But you have to undergo a full body checkup before your discharge. Be careful not to expose your wound to air. The doctor is afraid that it might get infected since the wound is long. You know what the air in the capital is like…”

Although he let his sentence trail off, Gu Qingjiu understood what he was saying.

She nodded heavily. “Mm.”

Shortly after, Helian Niancheng returned.

There was indeed food in his hands when he came back. At the sight of him, Gu Qingjiu’s smile turned a few notches more vibrant. “Chief Instructor, were you really the one who bought it?”

Helian Niancheng’s countenance darkened slightly. “I parked the car at the entrance of the store. My subordinate bought it.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

He even sounded so righteous.

But she didn’t mind it all that much. She took the food from the Chief Instructor and started eating. “I knew you wouldn’t buy it personally. But this will do too. I’m afraid you’ll become an internet celebrity if you buy stuff in this attire.”

Helian Niancheng in his major-general military uniform. “…”

His eyes darkened as he stroked Gu Qingjiu’s hair. “You’re the only one who dares to order me around like this.”

Gu Qingjiu smiled at him, her eyes turning into crescents.

She looked stunning that way.

Helian Niancheng’s heart softened at her smile. He sat down by her side and fed her as he whispered, “You need to do something before the international compet.i.tion in July.”

Gu Qingjiu raised her head, perplexed. “What? I remember I don’t have any plans for the time being.”

“Well, when I went back to Penalan, I talked to my parents about you. My mother is very interested in you and intends to come over and meet you in July.”

“Pff!”

Before Gu Qingjiu could even swallow a mouthful of food, she spat it all out.

Helian Niancheng dodged in time and remained unscathed.

But when he saw Gu Qingjiu choke and cough violently, the clean freak in him acted up, frowning as he patted Gu Qingjiu’s back to help her ease up.

This progress indeed wasn’t extraordinarily fast.
