The resting area was a place where they received outsiders.
It was also an entertainment station with an indoor and outdoor area.
One could even play basketball among other entertainment activities around.
Since it was still training time, there were only a few people. The instant Gu Qingjiu walked over, she saw a familiar figure standing in the bright pantry.
It felt like a long time ago.
Momentarily, Gu Qingjiu felt a gush of complex emotions inside.
As if sensing her presence, the man turned around and saw Gu Qingjiu.
Perhaps because he was too overwhelmed, he quickly went up to her.
Gu Qingmo was wearing a winter coat. He had inherited his father’s good looks and had a tall and broad frame. Other than appearing more fas.h.i.+onable from having stayed in the city, he looked the same as Gu Qingjiu remembered.
When the two of them saw each other, they both paused in surprise.
Next to her, Yu Bao’er let out a silly gasp. “Qingjiu, your older brother is so handsome!”
Of course. After all, Qi Yuefeng and Gu Hong both had decent looks, so their son naturally wouldn’t be ugly.
When Gu Qingmo saw Gu Qingjiu, he dared not believe it was her.
The young lady before him had a delicate and pet.i.te face that even her bob cut hair could not conceal her exquisite facial features.
And the lady stood there with a quiet and calm demeanor.
The person standing before him was a pretty and gracious young lady, which was very different from the younger sister he remembered.
But seeing that face, Gu Qingmo knew very well that she was his younger sister.
However, he found the dramatic transformation quite unbelievable.
“Qing… Qingjiu?”
Because of overwhelming feelings, Gu Qingmo unconsciously stuttered when he spoke.
Gu Qingjiu walked up and looked at Gu Qingmo. Suppressing the violent tremble in her voice, she called out, “Brother!”
This was her older brother—the older brother who had doted on her for over ten years.
After they had lost contact in the previous life, Gu Qingjiu spent countless nights in regret.
How did she fall for the Yu family’s lies back then and returned to that h.e.l.lish place only to cause harm upon the three most important people in her life?
Recalling how they had humiliated Gu Qingmo when he showed up at the Yu family to look for her, Gu Qingjiu felt immense pain. It was as if someone had stabbed her heart.
It had been a long time since she saw her older brother.
Those around them could not quite understand why Gu Qingjiu was so emotional the moment she saw Gu Qingmo.
Gu Qingmo frowned slightly, going up to hold Gu Qingjiu’s arms and sizing her up. He sighed in disbelief. “Does the military double as a plastic surgery hospital?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
This one line exposed her older brother’s nature.
His remark disrupted the sorrowful ambiance in an instant.
Next to them, Yu Bao’er chuckled at Gu Qingmo’s words.
Gu Qingjiu thought it was funny, too. “Brother, I merely lost some weight.”
After slimming down, she found her appearance unbelievable back then, too. But then in the later part, tons of things happened that diverted her attention elsewhere.
“Wait a moment!”
After confirming it was his younger sister, the incredulous Gu Qingmo whipped out his phone and started taking photos of Gu Qingjiu. “Let me take a few photos of you. If Mom sees the way you look now, she will be shocked, too! Our ugly duckling transformed into a white swan!”
