Chapter 538: Qingjiu, You’re Simply a Warrior
As this thought occurred to her, Gu Qingjiu grabbed the edge of He Niancheng’s clothes in panic.
“Chief Instructor, what’s going to happen if those people report us? Will you face punishments?”
Although dating was not explicitly forbidden for students in military schools, no rules also said that the school allowed them to date either.
Hence, students kept a low profile when they dated.
But for a student and an instructor to date in a military school, that was an entirely different thing.
Just like in ordinary schools, people would point fingers at the backs of a student and teacher found to be in a relations.h.i.+p.
If it got more serious, and the parents reported it, it would ruin the teacher’s reputation entirely.
It was even more strict in the military. Other than a damaged reputation, one might face severe punishment.
“Are you worried about me?”
He Niancheng caressed Gu Qingjiu’s head and gently tapped it. “No need to worry about it. Did you think I can’t even take care of a matter like this?”
“But I don’t want to hear others criticizing you behind your back, Chief Instructor.”
The sick Gu Qingjiu’s face was a tad flushed to begin with. And as she looked at He Niancheng, there was also a layer of moisture that already built up in her eyes.
She looked as endearing as a little kitten.
Looking at such a Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng suddenly felt his heart melting into a puddle.
“No one will dare to criticize me.”
His deep voice held a domineering power in it. He lowered his head to rub it against Gu Qingjiu’s face, and he did not mind that she was sweaty.
When Gu Qian and Chu Lian entered, they saw He Niancheng cupping Gu Qingjiu’s face and whispering to her.
The two of them felt as though struck by lightning, dealing a great blow.
He Niancheng sensed their arrival right away. He raised his head slightly, leaving a crack. Only then did Gu Qingjiu notice someone had entered.
At the sight of Gu Qian and Chu Lian, Gu Qingjiu’s red face flushed even more deeply. She greeted them in a small voice, “Gu Qian, Chu Lian.”
She even broke free from He Niancheng’s hand as she spoke.
“Ah, ah, ah, Qingjiu, we’re here to see if you were awake. Are you fully awake now?”
Gu Qian laughed awkwardly, making Chu Lian feel the cringe too.
Wasn’t it obvious that she was awake? That was such a redundant question!
Chu Lian’s question sounded more normal. “Qingjiu, are you feeling better?”
Though, seeing that the Chief Instructor was there, both dared not to go over.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “I feel slightly better.”
She couldn’t feel anything when she was supposedly in great pain last night.
Now that she was awake, she felt much better.
She only saw Gu Qian and Chu Lian, and she didn’t see Qi Xiaoran anywhere.
He Niancheng mentioned that her three dorm mates sent her there, so Qi Xiaoran should also be around.
Hence, she asked, “Where’s Xiaoran?”
“Xiaoran’s older brother came just now, and they went out.”
Although Gu Qian was a little curious how Qi Xiaoran’s older brother heard about this, she didn’t ask because it was none of her business.
“Oh.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. Hearing that it was her older brother, she stopped asking questions.
“You people have a chat, I’ll go out and see if your breakfast has arrived.”
He Niancheng went out, understanding the need for them to have a chat.
With him here, the three girls would be too embarra.s.sed to talk about many things since he was their superior.
“Bye Chief Instructor.”
“Bye Chief Instructor.”
Seeing the Chief Instructor go out, Gu Qian looked like she was liberated in an instant.
She patted her chest and dashed towards Gu Qingjiu. “My goodness, the Chief Instructor is so scary! In the past, I’ve only heard of rumors about him. It is my first time being this close to the Chief Instructor. I felt like my heart was going to leap at any moment. Qingjiu, you’re simply a warrior!”
