Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It turned out that just because Yu Bao’er could easily chat with the male soldiers, it made the female soldiers feel unhappy with her.

Gu Qingjiu knew a little of such fighting and jealousy amongst girls as well.

She stopped in her tracks. She didn’t go up. Instead, she called out towards Yu Bao’er. “Yu Bao’er!”

Hearing her call Yu Bao’er, the two female soldiers that were talking about her instantly regained their senses. Once they realized that Gu Qingjiu knew Yu Bao’er, their gazes turned a little weird. However, since they were worried about being caught gossiping, they immediately walked away as they chatted.

On the other hand, while Gu Qingjiu’s call for Yu Bao’er wasn’t very loud, Yu Bao’er still heard Gu Qingjiu instantly among the noisy ruckus around her.

She turned around and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw Gu Qingjiu. She pointed at Gu Qingjiu to the other male soldiers, smiling as if introducing her. However, she didn’t ask Gu Qingjiu to come over as she coolly jumped down a large stone and hopped in front of Gu Qingjiu.

“Thank you, Xiao Jiu’er!”

Yu Bao’er called Gu Qingjiu by the special nickname she gave her. It displayed the close friendship and impression girls had for each other.

Gu Qingjiu trembled once from hearing the nickname. She felt as though her goosebumps were going to pop out.

After all, no one had ever called her so and she wasn’t used to it at all.

She passed Yu Bao’er her jacket before muttering, “I brought you your jacket, so I’ll head back now.”

Yu Bao’er instantly stopped her. “Hey, aren’t you going to play for a while? Let me introduce them to you. They were my older brother’s old classmates and my brother asked them to take care of me.”

It seemed like Yu Bao’er was afraid of Gu Qingjiu misunderstanding her.

After all, she was really close to that group of male soldiers.

However, Gu Qingjiu didn’t care about such things. She pursed her lips into a smile, the dimples on her cheeks showing themselves. “I know, but I still have to go back and wash the clothes. I soaked them back in our dormitory.”

Yu Bao’er could tell that Gu Qingjiu was merely giving an excuse, but she couldn’t force Gu Qingjiu either.

“Alright. I’ll head back to the dormitory in a while, so you can head back first.”

There was some sort of disappointment evident in her voice, but she said nothing.

After Gu Qingjiu passed her the jacket, she left the mountain very quickly and returned to her dormitory room.

Her military uniform was still soaked in water in the room.

They all had two sets of uniform and they always alternate wearing each set. As Gu Qingjiu sat on a small stool and started to scrub the uniform, her phone rang. Gu Qingjiu glanced at it. It was a call from her older brother!

Gu Qingjiu froze for that second.

After she had been reborn, she never called Gu Qingmo even if she really missed this older brother of hers.

Firstly, it was because she had enlisted all of a sudden and it wasn’t easy to explain. Secondly, she really didn’t know what to say to Gu Qingmo. She was afraid her tears would fall nonstop the moment she did.

After Gu Qingmo had been thrown out of the Yu family’s mansion back then, she had never gotten any news of her older brother since that day. She never knew what exactly happened to Gu Qingmo in the end as well.

Heartache, guilt, and many other emotions that she herself didn’t understand started mixing together, forming a weird combination of emotions she felt at that moment.

The overwhelming emotions within her now naturally made her a little hesitant.

However, her phone rang nonstop, so it was impossible for her to not answer it. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qingjiu ultimately wiped her hands clean and answered the call.

“Hello, Brother.”
