Chapter 252 - Happy News

Gu Qingjiu recalled.

Her roommate, Qi Xiaoran, was going to go to the military academy as well.

The reason she was nominated for the military academy was probably because of her sharpshooting talents.

But Qi Xiaoran, she didn’t seem to have any special aspects?

Other than the fact that she held some mysteries to her.

She hadn’t asked her for the past few days.

At night, she waited for Qi Xiaoran to return.

It was rare for Gu Qingjiu to take the initiative to speak to Qi Xiaoran.

“Last Monday, I heard from my instructor that both of us will be going to the military academy at the capital. Is that true?”

The moment she said that Qi Xiaoran raised her head up in shock.

“You’re going too?”

It was probably unbelievable that she finally spoke to Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yeah, but I don’t know when we will be going.”

Qi Xiaoran lowered her gaze as a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.

When she looked up again, her expression was back to that of indifference but it didn’t feel as distant anymore.

“It should be by the end of this month. You should prepare well.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Okay!”

It wasn’t too far off from the end of the month.

The time for Gu Qingjiu to prepare herself was not long.

After making her decision, she decided to call home.

It was Qi Yuefeng who picked up the call.

“Hello, Jiu’er?”

Qi Yuefeng’s voice was always so kind and gentle.

“Mom, I’m going to tell you something.”

In her call, Gu Qingjiu was direct and Qi Yuefeng felt confused. “What is it?”

“My performance in the army is going well. So with the military’s permission, I can attend the military academy at the capital!”

“At the capital? To study in a military academy?”

Qi Yuefeng widened her eyes in disbelief. “Is that true?”

“Yes Mom, it’s real.”

Gu Qingjiu still felt excited talking about it

“That’s great!” Qi Yuefeng was elated. “Isn’t your older brother in the capital? Since you’re going to the capital, he will be there and I can rest assured. Going to the military academy is better than staying at the camp. At least you will be able to come home!”

The term ‘academy’ meant that some of its rules were similar to a university’s.

For example, one wasn’t allowed to go home in the army camp, but that restriction didn’t apply to the military academy.

Even if they trained privately, they would still allow students to return home during long holidays.

Even if Gu Qingjiu didn’t return to Dayi City, she could go and find Gu Qingmo!

“Aiya, why did you suddenly get the chance?”

Qi Yuefeng’s tone held some unconcealable joy in them. She didn’t expect Gu Qingjiu to be so lucky to get this chance.

Going to the military academy meant that she would be able to graduate with a degree.

Although she didn’t mind Gu Qingjiu’s academic qualifications, it was better for her to get a certificate. Furthermore, for her to graduate from a military academy, how honorable was that!

“I’m not sure... It was something arranged by the higher-ups.” Gu Qingjiu then continued humbly, “My shooting practices were slightly better than the rest so my instructor nominated me.”

“Then you’ll have to thank your instructor.”

Qi Yuefeng didn’t know the details of it so she naturally instructed Gu Qingjiu to thank her instructor.

“Okay, I will. Mom, if there’s a chance, I will go back again, and oh, the problem with Dad’s company, has it been settled?”

Gu Qingjiu still remembered the issue before she left.

“It’s... it’s nothing much.” Qi Yuefeng’s voice suddenly became softer and more solemn but because she didn’t want Gu Qingjiu to realize, she raised her voice again. “Just stay well at the army. When you go to the military academy, study hard. Your parents are relaxed here. I will wait for you to come home.”

After that, she quickly hung up the call.

Gu Qingjiu frowned, with Mom acting like that, it didn’t seem like it was nothing.
