Chapter 112 - Rumors
In the dormitory, Gu Qingjiu was the good-tempered one.
Although in Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu’s eyes, she was merely being pretentious. It was a fact that she just never flared up.
The only exception was her flaring up at Feng Meiyun, but even then she was merely threatening her with words.
With Gu Qingjiu’s cold and aloof temper, it had given others the impression that she was easy to bully.
Now that she truly flared up, they realized how scary she could get.
Amidst Jiang Yu’s frantic apologies, Gu Qingjiu finally let go just as Feng Meiyun was about to lose consciousness.
Feng Meiyun slumped on the bed and violently breathed in large gulps of air, in which she resembled a fish who was putting up a last-ditch struggle on land.
There was a terror in her eyes as she gazed at Gu Qingjiu. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to put up a resistance earlier, it was that she totally couldn’t.
Jiang Yu patted Feng Meiyun on her back, but she dared not reprimand Gu Qingjiu for being overboard.
First, it was Feng Meiyun who went overboard with her words in the first place; secondly, Gu Qingjiu was still in the heat of anger, so Jiang Yu naturally wouldn’t seek trouble with her.
Gu Qingjiu coldly glanced at Feng Meiyun, before returning to her own bed.
“Feng Meiyun, I think you’re the classic case of one who doesn’t shed tears before seeing the coffin [1. meaning refusing to repent until failing completely]. I’ll remember what you say. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off easily!”
Feng Meiyun was the kind of girl who was vain and gossipy.
If she saw that the person she was gossiping about simply let her be, she would reach out for a yard after taking an inch.
Gu Qingjiu’s cold and sinister words pricked into Feng Meiyun’s heart like a needle.
If she still didn’t remember this lesson, she would be truly dumb.
Body shivering, she herself did not understand why she feared Gu Qingjiu so much.
Yu Bao’er was watching all this happily from the side. Towards Feng Meiyun, she didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy towards her.
It was one thing for a gossipy b*tch like her to be speaking ill of others behind their backs. To be brazenly saying such things to their faces, she was truly too daring.
But it was indeed scary to see Gu Qingjiu flare-up.
Mainly, she struck one like a devil from hell; the way she was staring at that person made her feel she would not live much longer.
How could Qingjiu show a face like that?
Yu Bao’er went to sit by Gu Qingjiu’s side. Knowing she was still mad, she spoke cautiously with her.
Things gradually calmed down in the dormitory.

After the weekend was over, they resumed their training.
But there was major news in the training camp.
That is, that Gu Qingjiu was too close with the Chief Instructor and Commander Huo. Especially since there was news from the Military Zone that Gu Qingjiu and the Chief Instructor resolved the issue of the human traffickers together.
It was said that they appeared together in the most secluded Zone Two.
Most secluded, together?
It didn’t sound so simple.
When some girls heard this, they cried themselves in secret.
But no one dared trifle with Gu Qingjiu.
Because if she was really extraordinarily close with the Chief Instructor, messing with her would mean messing with the Chief Instructor.
Who had such guts and was senseless enough to do so?
Gu Qingjiu, on the other hand, had no idea how the rumors had spread behind her back. The only visible change she felt was that there were no longer any male soldiers coming to hit on her.
She was pretty, and Yu Bao’er wasn’t too bad as well. Hence, the two of them were rather popular among the male soldiers, and there were plenty who tried to hit on them.
But starting from Monday, whenever they ran into male soldiers, they would appear awkward even when saying hello.
Gu Qingjiu still didn’t know what had happened. But to have fewer male soldiers hitting on her, Gu Qingjiu naturally felt more at ease.
