Chapter 431: Living Together
It was Gu Qingjiu’s first time staying at a six-star hotel.
And also the first time she was sleeping on the floor of a presidential suite.
Even she herself didn’t dare believe it.
But this was the truth.
With Persian velvet carpets laid on the floors, it felt very soft. Add a layer of blanket and it actually wasn’t much different from sleeping on Simmons bedding.
The only distinction was that one was a bed and this was the floor.
But since this was her first time sleeping in the same room with the Chief Instructor after all, she felt rather nervous.
However, the Chief Instructor behaved perfectly decent at night. After taking a shower, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.
And this was after sleeping the entire afternoon today!
She guessed he must be really exhausted.
He said that he hadn’t rested at all yesterday. But Gu Qingjiu wasn’t sure if he had a good rest over these few days he was away on mission.
It was common for soldiers to go without sleep for a few consecutive days and nights when they were on missions.
Donned in the white pajamas offered by the hotel, Gu Qingjiu hugged her knees to her chest and went into a daze staring at the Chief Instructor.
Although the lights in the room were switched off, it was still brightly lit outside.
The bright lights of the city made her unable to fall asleep.
She was a light sleeper to begin with. Plus with the Chief Instructor sleeping in the same room as her, all the more she wasn’t able to get to sleep.
After preparing to sleep for quite a while, Gu Qingjiu finally started to feel sleepy as it approached 11 p.m.
She could hear He Niancheng’s even and steady breathing, who was sleeping facing her on the bed.
It seemed like he was sound asleep.
“Chief Instructor…”
Gu Qingjiu shouted to test, but He Niancheng showed no reaction.
With a tinge of nervousness, she edged closer to him.
With her arms resting on the side of the bed, she gave He Niancheng a kiss. She then laid back down contentedly and started to sleep.
Though, she didn’t see that the instant she laid down, the person behind her had already opened his eyes.
In the darkness, all that could be seen was a pair of deep eyes sparkling.
…
Very early in the morning, the dazed Gu Qingjiu could hear movements beside the bed.
Next, she felt a wet sensation on her face, and she heard a deep and raspy ‘Good morning’ right next to her ears.
Usually, if she didn’t get enough sleep, she would still be incredibly groggy. She merely responded with a hum and continued with her sleep.
She only heard a low chuckle.
By the time she woke up, she looked at the clock and saw that it was already eight!
If she was in school, she would already have trained for two hours at this time.
This was perhaps because she hadn’t slept in such a comfortable place in a long time…
Then, Gu Qingjiu realized that she was sleeping on the floor!
Opening her sleepy eyes, her vision swept over her surroundings, and didn’t see the Chief Instructor anywhere.
She instantly crawled to her feet and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After she was more or less done was.h.i.+ng up, He Niancheng came in with a cup of coffee.
He was donned in a white sweater of extremely thin fabric, giving off the elegant vibe of a graceful young master.
A good-looking person would look good in anything.
Looking at Gu Qingjiu who was brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, he shouted to her, “Come over and have breakfast.”
Gu Qingjiu speedily finished brus.h.i.+ng her teeth and casually ran a comb through her hair. She then sped over to join him for breakfast.
When she saw the spread they were having for breakfast, she couldn’t help exclaiming in her heart how extravagant it was.
There was Western and Chinese variety of dishes plated on small plates, filling the two sides of the long table.
If they couldn’t finish it, they could only toss the remaining food away.
He Niancheng had already gone over first and was elegantly starting to eat.
Feeling hungry, Gu Qingjiu went over and started eating as well.
She wasn’t too particular about what she ate, and she ate very fast.
So after finis.h.i.+ng the food off three plates, she was more or less done.
Although He Niancheng ate in an elegant manner, the speed at which he ate was comparable to Gu Qingjiu.
