Chapter 378 - She Merely Placed This Man in the Depths of Her Heart

Once she reached the office building, Gu Qingjiu crept over like she usually did.

He Niancheng’s office wasn’t lit up today.

This secretive vibe suddenly made Gu Qingjiu feel a sense of thrill.

Spit! She had degenerated!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She used her hand and felt her way to the office door. As usual, before she even knocked on the door, someone opened the door from inside.

As though he was a clairvoyant, He Niancheng lifted Gu Qingjiu up just like he did yesterday.

“I feel like you’re a thief every time you come over.”

He made fun of her in his deep voice, but Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel ashamed.

This time, perhaps due to what had happened yesterday, she was much more submissive and natural than before.

With her arms around He Niancheng’s neck, her lips curled into a smile as she took the initiative to edge closer to him.

Exerting his force slightly, He Niancheng carried Gu Qingjiu into his arms and graciously accepted the tender lips offered to him.

Their lips and teeth grazed against each other, and He Niancheng—who was breathing unsteadily—let go of her. It was an act which was quite rare of him. “If this goes on, I won’t be able to leave.”

“But where exactly are you going?”

Only then did Gu Qingjiu remember her purpose for coming.

“I’m going on a mission. I can’t bring my phone along and it will last a month. I will only be back next month. During this period, be good and stay in school for your training. Wait for me to come back.”

“You’re going on a mission...”

Gu Qingjiu knew that her superiors not only needed to manage the school, they sometimes would also be assigned missions.

It was a common situation in the troops.

It was just that all along, this was the first time she saw the Chief Instructor go on a mission.

Considering they were now together, Gu Qingjiu naturally felt that a month was way too long.

“One month is too long.”

With her arms around He Niancheng’s neck, she inhaled the certain scent that belonged to him.

She felt that only then would she feel at ease.

“Hur, it’s only a month. Focus on your training and time will pass very quickly.

He laughed softly. Gu Qingjiu could feel the vibration of his chest as he laughed.

That voice was right next to her ears and from time to time she would feel an abnormal sensation graze her ears.

Ignoring this sensation, Gu Qingjiu knitted her brows. Ultimately, she asked what was bothering her. “Is the mission dangerous?”

There were many missions assigned by the country that were highly dangerous.

In fact, some soldiers had to write their wills in advance before going on to these missions.

Just this point alone was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.

But soldiers didn’t fear things like that.

Regardless of what it was they were asked to do, they wouldn’t so much as show a frown.

Military orders cannot be disobeyed. But Gu Qingjiu really didn’t dare to imagine if the Chief Instructor was to fall into danger...

She didn’t even feel so worried about herself when she thought of her future missions.

“No, it’s not. I am from the Penalan Empire.”

Although he was serving in China, his nationality was after all Penalan. Hence, China wouldn’t ask him to go on those perilous missions where one needed to write his will in advance.

However, it wasn’t that he had never accepted such missions before.

His words made Gu Qingjiu feel slightly relieved.

Right, how could she have forgotten that the Chief Instructor was from the Penalan Empire?

Thing is, he spoke Mandarin too well, so subconsciously she had thought that he was Chinese.

“It’s just more troublesome, so it’s going to take a long time, and it’s the border I’m going to. But if I see something good, I’ll bring it back for you. Is there anything you want?”

He softly explained to her. At the same time, he asked her if there was anything she would like.

She shook her head, still feeling quite depressed. “I just want you to come back safely.”

She didn’t ask for a lot.

It was just that she truly placed this man in the depths of her heart.
