Chapter 134: Wooing Her
When Gu Qingjiu returned to her dormitory, Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu were both around.
Nowadays, Gu Qingjiu had already grown used to ignoring the two of them.
Placing her things on the bed, she took out the clothes one by one and folded them.
As Yu Bao’er observed her, she felt a little surprised.
“Did you go back just to buy these items? They look pretty. I’m sure you’ll look good in them.”
Hearing Yu Bao’er’s compliments, Gu Qingjiu flashed a faint smile.
Suddenly, Yu Bao’er added in a hushed voice, “How did you get special permission to return to Dayi City?”
According to the rules for new recruits, they were allowed to return to Dayi City. However, they had to specify their reasons for doing so. It could be because of urgent matters like a family member passed away or fell ill.
Otherwise, they would never be granted permission to go back.
Usually, the new recruits could only go to Mountain Village to let loose.
Hence, Yu Bao’er was curious about how Gu Qingjiu managed to do it.
Gu Qingjiu smiled faintly, and she whispered, “Have you forgotten that I went there with the Chief Instructor yesterday? He agreed to it.”
Yu Bao’er’s eyes widened immediately as they glinted. Pointing at Gu Qingjiu, she giggled at her jokingly.
She then raised her head and said, “I will not compare myself to you.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled in response and tidied her things before placing them in her closet.
Besides placing cups and pillows at the head of their beds in the dormitory, they could not have any other items in the barracks.
They allowed not even a single strand of hair.
While they trained in the day, there will be people doing spot checks.
After she had cleaned and tidied everything, it was almost time for dinner.
Yu Bao’er and Gu Qingjiu went to the cafeteria together.
Every weekend, the cafeteria would offer something extra. That day, there was pear boiled in syrup for dessert. Gu Qingjiu thought it should taste pretty delicious.
Yu Bao’er looked at how Gu Qingjiu ate with relish and offered her own share.
Gu Qingjiu was rather shocked. “Why aren’t you eating this? It’s pretty yummy.”
Yu Bao’er shook her head in disapproval and said, “It’s too sweet. I don’t want to put on weight.”
Gu Qingjiu almost burst out laughing. “Why are you still worried about that? We train so much every day and would definitely burn all these calories off!”
Their daily training was tough and this dessert shouldn’t even be a cause for concern.
“Moreover, why didn’t you say the same thing when you bought the snacks in the village?”
Gu Qingjiu exposed Yu Bao’er.
Yu Bao’er giggled in embarrassment and tugged playfully at Gu Qingjiu. “I’m quite full, and I don’t like pears, especially this kind of dessert...”
She had only said those words because she didn’t want to eat it and didn’t want Qingjiu to feel uncomfortable.
If they didn’t finish their food, they would be punished.
Gu Qingjiu looked at Yu Bao’er and helplessly shook her head before eating the extra portion.
It wasn’t even a large portion, to begin with, but since Yu Bao’er didn’t like it, she wouldn’t force her to eat it.
After finishing all the food on their plates, Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er returned the utensils to the designated areas.
Shortly after they left, a few men who had been sitting beside them discussed quietly.
“Those two girls are quite pretty! I will woo the one with the pale skin!”
“That’s Gu Qingjiu. I heard that when she joined the military a month ago, she was a chubby girl. After losing weight, she’s completely a goddess!”
“Da Qi, you have to put in a lot of effort! That girl belongs to Chen Haoyang’s team. You cannot let him find out you’re targeting one of his recruits!”
“I have nothing to be afraid of!”
