Chapter 52
“Why are you being so polite for?”
Huo Yingcheng waved his hands and dismissed her gratitude.
“After all, we’ve seen each other so many times now.”
He also found it interesting that it felt like he would see this Gu Qingjiu no matter where he went. The most important thing was that all their meetings were accidental as well.
Was this the legendary fate?
While Huo Yingcheng was speaking to Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng kept staring at the girl.
It wasn’t a stare that meant anything. He had merely projected his cold eyes onto Gu Qingjiu, thus making her feel a little uneasy.
Even after reliving another life, Gu Qingjiu almost couldn’t take this Chief Commander’s strong and oppressive aura.
Because this chief instructor gave Gu Qingjiu some deep-seated feeling as if he came from a different world and was, in fact, above everyone else, it felt like he was looking down at them.
“You two know another person here?”
Suddenly, a warm voice sounded from behind the white curtain.
It was the kind of voice that made listeners feel like they have drowned in the spring breeze. It was the type of enjoyment from inside out. Even before meeting the owner of the voice, people would already have some sort of strong anticipation of how the owner looked like.
Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment as well.
She stared as the curtains were lifted. A man wearing a white robe walked out.
He was tall, looking as if he was 180 centimeters. Gentleness and elegance were written all over his pretty face. Every part of him was clean and without a crease.
His eyebrows were straight, his eyes pretty, and the phrase, ‘Warm and gentle like a piece of jade’ was probably describing this man.
After seeing him, Gu Qingjiu froze terribly.
There was an indescribable chill running up her spine.
That was because the person in front of her gave an extremely similar aura to that of Su Lingche.
That man that she had almost forgotten. That man who was equally handsome and gentle, with sentiment flooding his aura.
The only difference was that this man in front of her was politely distant despite his gentleness.
He was polite and elegant.
It was the type of distance strangers should have.
The person in front glanced at her and smiled with crescent eyes. “Are you a new recruit?”
This voice pulled Gu Qingjiu back from whatever river her thoughts had fallen into. “Yes.”
Her voice was a little shaky.
All three present could feel her unusual character.
He Niancheng’s eyes on Gu Qingjiu instantly darkened. Huo Yingcheng was a little confused as well as he glanced towards the newcomer.
“I’m sorry, Commander Huo and Chief Commander. I still have something, so I’ll leave first!”
Gu Qingjiu looked down, feeling cold sweat starting to cover her palms. She hurriedly found an excuse and instantly left the infirmary. She frantically ran away.
Her back exposed some of her panic.
Seeing her leave, Huo Yingcheng was a little dumbfounded. “Nan Yingxuan, she knows you?”
The man called Nan Yingxuan placed his hands behind his back. Humor rose in his eyes. “If I knew her, would I ask if she was a new recruit?”
Hearing this, Huo Yingcheng glanced at He Niancheng again as he suddenly looked like his heart was in pain. “That shouldn’t be, Major-general. Normal women aren’t able to escape your charms usually…”
She even looked at someone else.
Before he could finish speaking, He Niancheng’s sharp gaze had cut his words short.
Huo Yingcheng thought that Gu Qingjiu was interested in Nan Yingxuan.
Nan Yingxuan was the camp’s doctor, so he naturally didn’t know Gu Qingjiu. He felt a little weird about the girl earlier, but he didn’t take it to heart.
