Chapter 485 - This Small Thing Doesnt Deal Her Cards Like the Rest

When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the capital, it was late into the night.

After all, when she went out, it was already dark.

Gu Qingjiu requested for a room at the hotel for her to rest for the night.

When morning arrived, she rushed back to school.

She would definitely not make it in time for her training, but she had the Commanding Officer’s permission. The first thing Gu Qingjiu did was to return to her dormitory.

When she reached her dormitory, she recalled that she didn’t bring her cell phone along when she left.

She originally thought it would be fine, but when she saw her phone, there were several text messages and missed calls.

One of the messages and missed calls belonged to the Chief Instructor while the others were from Gu Qian and Chu Lian.

And one from Qi Yuefeng.

Probably assuming that she was training, Qi Yuefeng did not continue calling her.

Gu Qingjiu’s could feel a headache coming when she saw the Chief Instructor’s missed call and message.

She didn’t know if the Chief Instructor knew about her not returning to the dormitory.

She did apply for leave, so it shouldn’t be a big deal?

Since she felt that way, Gu Qingjiu decided to return her mother’s call before calling the Chief Instructor.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After two rings, the phone call got through. He Niancheng did not reply immediately so Gu Qingjiu called out of guilt.

“Chief Instructor?”

“Where did you go last night?”

His voice was cold, and there was a trace of anger hidden within it.

The reason for his anger was because the people he had sent to follow her last night could not find her whereabouts.

Gu Qingjiu was not capable enough to lose a tail unless someone else was bringing her along.

Not returning for a night and the commanding officer not knowing about it, that could only mean that the orders came from a higher up.

He Niancheng could roughly guess what it was about, but he was still unhappy.

And it was all because Gu Qingjiu didn’t even inform him.

Hearing He Niancheng’s anger from his voice, Gu Qingjiu immediately admitted to her faults. “Something happened yesterday and because it was too sudden, I didn’t get the time to inform you before leaving.”

She was scared that He Niancheng would question her further, and by then she wouldn’t be able to answer.

She didn’t want to lie to him.

To her relief, the Chief Instructor did not probe further and instead said, “Don’t do this next time. In the future, if something happened, remember to text me. This is my duty as your boyfriend and it’s also your responsibility as my girlfriend. It can’t be that I have no idea of what you’re doing.”

Gu Qingjiu could feel the tips of her ears turning red when she heard the words ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend.’

Her voice held traces of a pitiful whine when she replied. “I understand Chief Instructor. I was wrong...”

“Now that you know your faults, be good.”

His tone was stern before it regained its usual gentleness. “Are you at the dormitory now?”

Just by guessing, he knew that the first place which Gu Qingjiu would return to after coming back to the school was her dormitory.

“Yes.”

“If you’ve nothing on, come over.”

Hearing that, Gu Qingjiu was slightly confused. “But there are a lot of students training outside right now...”

“What are you worried about?”

He Niancheng chuckled lowly. “Didn’t you say that you know your mistake?”

“Since you were wrong, you have to accept your punishments.”

There was an significant emphasis on the last word.

Gu Qingjiu could hear the ambiguous meaning behind his words – the sort which made her heart thump and her face flush.

She shook her head like a rattle drum. “If that’s the case, I won’t go over!”

He Niancheng was speechless.

He narrowed his eyes. This little thing just didn’t deal her cards like others.
