Chapter 296 - Huo Yingcheng Whose World Views Were Shattered
“If I didn’t agree, would you cry on the spot?”
Even if he was on the receiving end of the confession, his expression did not change much.
But his attitude towards Gu Qingjiu changed evidently.
It was something difficult to explain with words. There was something special and soft about it.
“Why will I cry?”
But she would definitely be sad.
But all these were not going to happen.
Because he already agreed.
The warmth in her palm was evident. As they held hands, Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt awkward all of a sudden.
The confession was a success but suddenly, she didn’t know what to say.
It felt as if the topic came to a sudden stop.
“After last night’s practice, were you assured?”
He Niancheng’s topic quickly cleared the awkward atmosphere.
Gu Qingjiu let out a breath of relief and nodded. “I do. I want to start practicing on moving targets starting this weekend.”
For fixed targets, a hundred-meters target was the limit for the academy. There was no need for Gu Qingjiu to try out the two hundred-meters target.
She would just practice with moving targets first.
“You don’t have to rush to practice on moving targets. You still have to catch up with your specialization.”
He Niancheng stood up. The hand which was holding on to Gu Qingjiu’s did not loosen, and he brought her to the front of his table.
“If you’re free this weekend, let’s go out for a meal.”
Hearing that, Gu Qingjiu’s eyes twinkled.
Both of them have just confirmed their relationship. Who would have expected the Chief Instructor to have such a great grasp on a couple’s matters?
She happily agreed. “Sure!”
“I’ll book the place first and text you later.”
“Okay.”
After that sentence, the two of them fell into a brief silence once again.
It was probably because they had just begun their relationship that they were not yet used to it.
‘Ring ring.’
The phone on He Niancheng’s office table rang. He picked it up and Gu Qingjiu vaguely caught a few words about someone coming.
Gu Qingjiu could distinctly feel He Niancheng’s expression turn cold. “Let him come over.”
After hanging up the call, Gu Qingjiu pointed outside. “Chief Instructor, should I take my leave first?”
She wanted to return to the dormitory to continue studying her specialization.
“Okay.”
When she left the office, her heart was still fluttering.
She didn’t expect her confession to be successful that quickly.
And even though it was successful, it didn’t feel like much had changed.
She simply gained another identity—promoted from his soldier to his girlfriend.
Just thinking about it made her feel sweet inside.
Halfway out, Gu Qingjiu saw Huo Yingcheng who was at the balcony looking up at the sky. It was as if he was contemplating life.
“Commander Huo, what are you doing?”
Gu Qingjiu walked over and greeted him.
Huo Yingcheng turned around, sizing her up with narrowed eyes. “What? The shady business that you two were up to is finally over?”
Gu Qingjiu felt a little awkward. “There’s no shady business going on!”
A confession was not shady.
“Aiya…”
But Huo Yingcheng kept sensing a spring breeze blowing around this girl.
As if she had struck the lottery.
But before she entered the office, she wasn’t this happy?
Thinking about that, Huo Yingcheng casually asked, “What did you tell the Chief Instructor that I cannot hear about? A confession?”
He was just casually throwing a statement. Who knew that Gu Qingjiu would shamelessly admit it? “Yes, it was.”
Since the Chief Instructor agreed, there was nothing to hide from Commander Huo.
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
In an instance, it felt like his world views were shattering in front of him.
