Chapter 131 - Qingjiu, Go For It!
She had to return to the military camp on Sunday.
Knowing that Gu Qingjiu would leave in the afternoon, Qi Yuefeng dragged her son to help pick out clothes for Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Hong had matters to attend to at the company, so he couldn’t accompany his family.
Gu Qingmo was reluctant at first. Like most men, he didn’t fancy shopping, much less shopping with women.
Coincidentally, Gu Qingjiu didn’t like shopping either.
She didn’t fear training, but shopping for clothes from shop to shop was a form of torment for her.
While other girls were delighted with the choices before them, Gu Qingjiu didn’t at all feel the same way.
Hence, the two of them were the type to get it over and done with as fast as possible.
When Qi Yuefeng picked out a piece of clothing, the two of them would nod their heads vigorously beside her. “It looks nice, Mom. Let’s just buy this, there’s no need to look at others!”
When she picked up another piece, they said the same thing. “It looks nice.”
How could Qi Yuefeng not tell they were being perfunctory?
But there wasn’t anything she could do about that.
The good thing was that after Gu Qingjiu slimmed down, it was much easier for her to buy clothes, and most ordinary designs looked particularly nice on her.
This was because she was pretty and had exquisite features, and even without makeup on her face, it was so fair that it glowed.
When she was trying on clothes, other girls looked at her with envy.
Within an hour, they had picked out several sets of clothes.
Because Gu Qingjiu had to buy new sizes for all her clothes because those at home no longer fitted her, they naturally had to buy more at one go.
With bags of clothing in hand, Qi Yuefeng and the group found a cafe in the mall and sat down for a drink.
Going through the items bought, Qi Yuefeng said, “Qingjiu, Mom bought you these for the time being. You can wear them in rotation at the army. If you don’t wish to wash your clothes, you can send them back every weekend, Mom will wash them for you.”
“Mom, I’m not so delicate. There’s a washing machine in the military, I can just use that.”
Every dormitory had their own allotments. If it wasn’t for the fact that the usual training was really tough, the living conditions in the dormitory were actually better than many communal living places.
“Seems like the living conditions in the military are not too bad.” Gu Qingmo found it surprising.
Gu Qingmo had seen many news articles and reports that the living conditions were tough in the military, but hearing Gu Qingjiu clarify otherwise naturally surprised him.
Gu Qingjiu smiled and was about to speak when her phone rang.
She looked and much to her surprise; it was Commander Huo.
The last time the Chief Instructor asked her to call Commander Huo, considering that Commander Huo’s identity was special, she saved his number in her phone. But she hadn’t expected to receive a call from him.
Gu Qingjiu stood up instantly and went to a secluded spot to answer the call.
At the back, seeing Gu Qingjiu go away to answer her phone, Qi Yuefeng and Gu Qingmo began murmuring between themselves.
“Hello, Commander Huo?”
“Eh, Qingjiu?”
Huo Yingcheng sounded even more shocked than Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu paused. “You called the wrong number?”
“Not really. I saw that this number looked unfamiliar, so I called. Lately, several commanders called me, but I didn’t save their numbers, so I got them mixed up.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
“Heh, heh. I will save your number for later. Right. I wanted to ask, did the Chief Instructor look for you to help him buy some things?”
Gu Qingjiu felt surprised to hear Huo Yingcheng only mentioning this now. “Weren’t you the one who said it? The Chief Instructor asked me to replace you. It turned out that when you hung out with the Chief Instructor all the time, you had to double as his nanny?”
When Gu Qingjiu spoke with Huo Yingcheng, she didn’t feel the same way as when she was talking with He Niancheng. Her tone was relaxed and happy.
Huo Yingcheng ignored her teasing and instead inhaled a breath of cold air. “He really went to look for you?”
Just as Gu Qingjiu replied with a hum, his tone suddenly became lewd. “Qingjiu, go for it!” ‘Beep beep… beep beep…’
1He hung up the phone.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Go for what?
