Chapter 221: How Could It Be That He Was Acquainted With Her, Gu Qingjiu?
Gu Qingjiu almost dropped everything she had to run away.
Although her statement was outrageous for He Niancheng, at least she finally cleared a question she had always wanted to ask.
He Niancheng did not explain further but from his massive reaction, her speculations must have been wrong.
Since rumors might start, she had to end it.
Seeing that there was still time, Gu Qingjiu used her cell phone that she had retrieved from Chen Haoyang to call her older brother on her way back.
Usually, around that time, Gu Qingmo would be taking his afternoon nap but Gu Qingjiu quickly heard his crisp voice from the other end. “Hello, Qingjiu? It’s not the weekend today, but you can call me?”
His tone still sounded cheerful, so he probably had no idea about what had happened between Gu Qingjiu and the Yu family.
After all, since he was in the capital city, such news wouldn’t affect him yet.
“I’m entering the advanced training camp today, but let’s talk about that later. Older brother, I have to clear something up.”
Hearing Gu Qingjiu’s serious tone, Gu Qingmo felt puzzled. “Clear up? What do you need to clear up?”
Did Qingjiu have anything to tell him?
“That is… I misunderstood. The Chief Instructor doesn’t actually swing that way…”
“…”
A strange silence dragged on from the other end of the call.
Gu Qingmo asked, “How did you know?”
Gu Qingjiu sighed. “I asked him just now. From the looks of it, he looked like he wanted to kill me.”
“Hahahahahahaha!!”
Gu Qingmo’s loud laughter could be heard. “Okay, I get it Qingjiu. I got you. You have a bright future, a talent!”
The sound of Gu Qingmo’s laughter only made Gu Qingjiu feel more sorry for He Niancheng.
Why did her mind swerve to that idea in the first place?
“Okay, okay. I get it.” Gu Qingmo forced his laughter down. “I still have something on. Tell me more about the advanced training camp when you call during the weekend. Train hard. I have to hang up first.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up, Gu Qingjiu could finally heave a breath of relief.
She didn’t know what overcame her for her to brashly ask such a question.
It was as if something was subconsciously pushing her to ask.
At that moment, she simply asked without a single thought about the consequences.
This change seemed to have occurred the moment she saw He Niancheng at the Yu family.
When she was at the Yu family, her heart felt pressed and heavy.
But the moment she saw He Niancheng, all other emotions seemed to become unimportant as they all turned into excitement and hope.
Why did she feel hopeful when she saw the Chief Instructor?
She couldn’t quite understand the feelings that brewed deep inside her.
It was something that had never happened to her before.
As if it was a completely new feeling.
But she could frankly admit the notion that she felt downcasted after knowing that she wouldn’t be able to see the Chief Instructor on a frequent basis once she entered the advanced training camp.
Downcasted?
Thinking about that, the smile on Gu Qingjiu’s face froze.
The cheerful steps as she walked towards Chen Haoyang’s office slowed down.
Downcasted. Why would she feel that way?
It wasn’t an emotion she should be feeling.
She thought back to her previous lifetime. It was dark beyond measure—that dreadful energy shadowed her entire existence.
However, He Niancheng was an existence as blinding as the sun.
He was an existence high above and so incredibly noble—an entirely different existence when compared to Gu Qingjiu.
So how did a person who was like a god, get acquainted with her, Gu Qingjiu?
