Chapter 95 - Suddenly Very Honored
Gu Qingjiu felt a little amused.
She would’ve never expected that someone would belittle the Chief Instructor.
But then again, that was definitely because of what he had said to the old man earlier on.
It made it seem as if the Chief Instructor wasn’t very good with his words.
Until the end, Gu Qingjiu did not know who that old man was.
She forced the question down. Since she knew her place, she dared not ask the Chief Instructor about it.
Moreover, she had no right to.
Gu Qingjiu had drawn lines for such situations.
She left the place with He Niancheng and they did not talk much along the way.
After all, this god-sent angel just saved her.
“Your family doesn’t wish for you to join the army?”
While they walked, He Niancheng suddenly popped such a question at her.
Gu Qingjiu spent two seconds arranging her thoughts.
The Chief Instructor was asking her.
She was a little startled because he did not seem like the sort of person to be concerned about other people’s affairs.
When she recalled her parents’ attitude about her decision, she nodded. “I guess so. My parents didn’t really want me to come.”
Including her elder brother.
If he did, he would have had a different attitude when he visited the other day.
“But you don’t like the army either.”
This statement seemed to strike a chord in Gu Qingjiu after she had processed it.
She paused in her steps, but when she saw that He Niancheng didn’t, she followed behind immediately.
But she had stopped speaking.
She did not bother asking something like ‘How could you tell?’ either.
It was probably a little too obvious.
The Chief Instructor probably taught so many recruits that he could tell at a single glance if they weren’t passionate about it or not.
“If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have joined in the first place.”
Gu Qingjiu initially thought the conversation would end there, but who knew He Niancheng would continue.
And his statement felt a little chilly.
As if he was specifically pointing it at her.
Gu Qingjiu thought for a while until she couldn’t hold back. “Chief Instructor, there are many things in life that I don’t have a choice.”
People like him were born with the innate want to control, so he would only have a part in controlling others. There wouldn’t be too many situations where he did not have a choice, and naturally, he wouldn’t understand Gu Qingjiu’s predicament.
But hearing that statement, He Niancheng paused in his steps.
Seeing his silhouette pause, Gu Qingjiu stopped in her steps as well.
He Niancheng turned around and looked at her, his gorgeous eyes brewing in an intoxicating color. Gu Qingjiu realized then that if one carefully looked at his eyes, they would see the grey impurity mixing in those black orbs.
It made it look like a grey-colored gem.
“There’s not just one solution in this world. There may be others which you can’t see yet.”
It was rare, but his statement sounded like a reminder for her.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She suddenly felt as if the Chief Instructor had just stuffed her full of poisonous soup.
She smiled in resignation. “Chief Instructor, of course I know there’s more than one solution, but I have no skills. That’s why I have to choose the proper solution. Even if there were other chances, with my skills, I can’t catch those.”
The matter between her and the Yu family, she couldn’t win without any power. What other choice did she have?
He Niancheng eyed Gu Qingjiu. “You’re the first person I have encountered who could so proudly announce her lack of capabilities.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Why did this supposedly proud moment end up being shattered like that?
