Chapter 179: His Intentions
“Actually, you might have seen me before. We met on the first day you arrived. My name is He Qi; He like the character from seedlings, while Qi’s character is the same as the one from strange. But then, they all call me Da Qi.”
The guy in front of her introduced himself.
A vague impression finally surfaced in Gu Qingjiu’s mind.
‘Da Qi?’
Yu Bao’er seemed to have mentioned this name before.
Something like one of the more handsome guys amongst the regulars?
She had an impression because Yu Bao’er briefly mentioned him before, and now that she met him, she guessed she was on the mark.
And the reason this man was trying to get closer to her, Gu Qingjiu was not entirely clueless about it.
She was just not interested in it.
She pursed her lips. “I think I’ve heard of you before.”
“Right? I’m actually quite known around here. I met you before when you first came. Have you forgotten?”
He Qi seemed to think he was rather impressive, but his words were exaggerated.
On the first day, when Chen Haoyang brought them to the canteen, they met him.
But at that time, he didn’t even know them, so how would he have recognized Gu Qingjiu, who by then hadn’t slimmed down yet?
He obviously said it to get closer to her.
Understanding that, Gu Qingjiu pulled a fake smile. After she had finished her food with a few more bites, she picked up her tray. “I’m done eating, so I’ll be leaving first.”
He Qi didn’t bother stopping her. He watched Gu Qingjiu leave and stroke his chin in contemplation.
His few friends, who were observing the situation, came over.
“How was it?”
“My dear brother, I don’t think it’s working out. Her smile was a little fake!”
“From her reactions, I don’t think you stand a chance. We never expected that there would come a day that our handsome He cannot pick a girl up!”
He Qi did not mind his peers’ jeer and found it amusing instead. “Cannot pick her up? I don’t believe that I can’t get her. It’s only challenging when she’s difficult. Just wait and see!”
“I’m waiting.” His doll-faced friend grinned. “I think you might have had a chance before, but don’t forget that we have a new Chief Instructor. His face is that of an ideal lover. Da Qi, I think you’re in trouble!”
“Bleh. I don’t believe it. Are you telling me that all the girls in the army like Commander He?”
The mention of He Niancheng was like a stab.
Ever since he came to the camp, he had attracted the attention of many female soldiers.
The percentage of guys getting out of the army being single increased significantly.
Those that were too easy were no fun, and the one who was harder to chase was Gu Qingjiu.
But although Gu Qingjiu was pretty, thinking about it seriously, He Qi felt that even if she liked Commander He, would a person like Commander He actually like someone from this camp?
There were many other girls like Gu Qingjiu outside of the camp.
But Gu Qingjiu was the legendary ice goddess in the camp, and since He Qi was handsome himself, wooing Gu Qingjiu was just a means to prove himself. So what if Commander He was around?
He was like a god—someone that the ordinary folks could never hope to touch!
While the guys were discussing with fervor, Gao Rui, who had just arrived this morning, caught the attention of many people as she sauntered in.
But Gao Rui was more interested in Gu Qingjiu, who had just walked out.
In a low tone, Gao Rui asked, “Xiao Yu, the person who just left, the one who stood beside me this morning... I didn’t get to ask for her name. What’s her name?”
Hearing that, Jiang Yu paused before she smiled thoughtfully.
