Chapter 51: Thank You, Commander Huo

Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao’er, who had fought; and Jiang Yu, who they had indirectly implicated; were all standing in punishment.

Yet, Gu Qingjiu, whom Huo Yingcheng had asked to get Chen Haoyang, was fine.

It was as if Huo Yingcheng didn’t even notice that she had returned.

After Huo Yingcheng heard Chen Haoyang’s explanation, he nodded with a cold expression. “You shall settle this on your own and find the exact reason for the fight. I will not tell Commander He about it first. Let me tell you that our Commander He isn’t as nice as I am.”

He Niancheng hated people who didn’t follow the rules.

If it was He Niancheng that caught them fighting, there would only be two consequences.

He was still relatively more ‘gentle.’

“Yes, Commander Huo!”

Chen Haoyang was extremely nervous as Huo Yingcheng spoke. Seeing that Huo Yingcheng really left after speaking, his expression instantly darkened. He glanced at Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao’er and wanted to scold them at first. However, he glanced at Jiang Yu and asked, “Were they the only ones who fought?”

Jiang Yu froze but then glanced at Feng Meiyun, who had raised her head to glance at her. Jiang Yu originally wanted to wait for Feng Meiyun to answer the question, but Feng Meiyun never opened her mouth.

A fit of unknown anger rose within Jiang Yu and she instantly replied, “Yes, sir. This has nothing to do with me.”

Feng Meiyun’s expression instantly turned uglier.

Chen Haoyang nodded and then left with Feng Meiyun and Yu Bao’er.

Gu Qingjiu and Jiang Yu were the only ones remaining.

After they were gone, Jiang Yu glanced at Gu Qingjiu. She had guessed something, but still asked, “Why did that Commander Huo ask you to go get Instructor Chen?”

Gu Qingjiu’s calm and indifferent eyes moved onto her. Her voice was as cold as chilled water as she said, “I don’t know.”

Having been mildly rebuffed, Jiang Yu bit her lip and started to make wild guesses in her mind.

She felt as if Commander Huo had purposefully steered Gu Qingjiu away so that she wouldn’t get scolded as well.

If he didn’t, Gu Qingjiu would have stood by their side. She didn’t take part in the fight, so why was she scolded as well?

No matter how she thought about it, Jiang Yu didn’t feel too settled about what had just happened.

However, she also understood that Gu Qingjiu might have nothing to do with it. Instead, it should be that Commander’s problem. However, after she was wronged, she couldn’t help but start to feel a little weird with the entire situation.

Jiang Yu went to find her other friends while Gu Qingjiu was worried about Yu Bao’er. She wanted to go to the instructors’ office, but she couldn’t get too close either. In the end, she decided to stay near the office to observe the situation.

And in a timely manner, she bumped into Huo Yingcheng again.

At that time, Gu Qingjiu happened to pass by the camp’s infirmary. The doors were half-way opened and voices trailed out from it. Gu Qingjiu instinctively glanced inside and met a pair of cold and heartless eyes.

Huo Yingcheng happened to look out at the same time.

“Hey, Qingjiu? Come in!”

Huo Yingcheng, who had scolded Yu Bao’er and Feng Meiyun earlier on, was laughing naughtily as he waved at Gu Qingjiu. Seeing that He Niancheng was present as well, Gu Qingjiu was a bit hesitant about going in, but she didn’t dare reject either.

She walked in and saluted He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng. “Good afternoon, Chief Instructor and Commander Huo.”

The infirmary was filled with an antiseptic smell. Apart from them, there was no one else present. The room wasn’t small either. He Niancheng sat in front of a white curtain while Huo Yingcheng stood beside him. Behind the curtain, a figure wearing a white robe walked to and from behind.

“Hehe. Did I scare you just now? I lured you away on purpose earlier on. If I didn’t do that, all of you would have been scolded together. That would be so pointless.”

Huo Yingcheng revealed his intentions with no hesitance.

Hearing this, although Gu Qingjiu felt that it wasn’t really right, gratitude still surged within her heart. “Thank you, Commander Huo.”
