Chapter 156 - Yu Baoer, Whose Eyes Lit Up

There was mischief in her voice.

Gu Qingjiu twisted her head and looked over. She saw Yu Bao’er wearing a blue medium-long coat and black tights, complete with a pair of black low-heeled fur boots, making her look tall and slim. She exuded the vibrancy of youth as she walked towards Gu Qingjiu full of smiles.

“What are you talking about? This is my cousin.”

Yu Bao’er was used to speaking casually with Gu Qingjiu. When she walked over, Gu Qingjiu reached out and gently pinched her face.

“Heh, heh. It was kind of strange to see you carrying a child!” Yu Bao’er smiled cheerfully. When she turned her head and saw Gu Qingmo, her eyes lit up. “Ah, you’re Xiao Jiu’er’s older brother aren’t you? Hello, we meet again!”

She didn’t have the reserved manner most girls had when facing a good-looking boy at all.

Yu Bao’er was a gracious and direct person, to begin with.

But Gu Qingjiu knew Yu Bao’er—the glint in her eyes was way too obvious.

When she was in the military zone, she said she was going to woo Doctor Nan, to get to know him first. But after getting to know him for a month, she still didn’t take any action. Now that they’re leaving the military zone, all the more she didn’t have a chance.

Perhaps she had given up.

The way she was excited at seeing Gu Qingmo, it was solely a reaction of hers whenever she meets a handsome guy.

“Oh... hello, hello.”

Gu Qingmo didn’t have a deep impression of Yu Bao’er.

After all they had only met briefly that one time. Moreover, Gu Qingmo usually never paid much attention to other girls; hence, he just politely smiled when he saw Yu Bao’er.

On the other hand, at the sight of Yu Bao’er, there was an interesting glint in Yao Yanshen’s eyes.

Now that Qingjiu had become pretty, she seemed to be hanging out with better-looking friends, too.

Gu Qingjiu also noticed the way Yao Yanshen was looking at Yu Bao’er, so she immediately introduced her to the group. “This is my good friend in the troops, Yu Bao’er. You guys can just call her Bao’er. Bao’er, this is my cousins Gu Xiaoxi and Yao Yanshen. And this, I have introduced to you the last time, is my older brother Gu Qingmo.”

“Got it, got it.”

Yu Bao’er nodded vigorously. Gu Xiaoxi, who was in Gu Qingjiu’s arms, greeted her sweetly. “Sister Bao’er.”

Yu Bao’er was initially looking at Yao Yanshen, but upon hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s voice, her heart nearly melted.

“Aye. Xiaoxi. Hello there.”

Most people had a soft spot for children’s cute voices when greeting them.

Especially when it’s a child as adorable as Gu Xiaoxi.

Indeed, Yu Bao’er couldn’t shift her eyes away from her.

Gu Qingjiu looked behind Yu Bao’er and noticed there were guys and girls who were dressed fashionably and stylishly like her, and they were waiting for her. Hence, she asked, “You’re with your friends? Why don’t we come out again some other day?”

“No need, we were just looking for someplace to have fun. Shall we go together? You guys heading somewhere?”

There were loads of events everywhere during the new year; hence, Yu Bao’er wanted to go have fun with Gu Qingjiu.

While Gu Qingjiu was hesitant if she should ask Yu Bao’er along, Gu Qingmo spoke up. “We’re going to KTV tonight, as well as dinner. You and your friends are welcome to join us. Wanna come along?”

“KTV?”

Yu Bao’er’s eyes lit up instantly. As she looked at Gu Qingmo, there was shyness on her face. “Okay, me and my friends were just fretting over where to head to next.”

Gu Qingjiu wanted to laugh out loud seeing Yu Bao’er’s manner.

She wondered what Yu Bao’er’s expression would be when the latter found out her older brother already had a girlfriend.
