Chapter 215: Heart Throb

It took a few hours just to travel from Dayi City to North City and that was without including the distance from military to Dayi City.

Although they took shortcuts, it was already in the middle of the night when they arrived in Dayi City.

Gu Qingjiu was long tired.

And fell asleep halfway through the journey.

With the bumpy roads, it couldn’t compare with the comforts of a bed.

One nap and all Gu Qingjiu felt was the soreness on her neck.

It was already at a right angle.

And was incredibly uncomfortable.

From beside her came a cool voice. “We’re here. Wake up.”

The volume of his voice was not loud, but it seemed to give people a boost of energy. Almost instantly, Gu Qingjiu woke up.

Her eyes were a little wet and her neck didn’t feel like hers anymore. And as she looked outside the window…

The sky was already dark.

Sounds of insects couldn’t be heard on a winter night like so, and the view outside the car wasn’t vivid as well.

She could only make up some silhouettes that looked like ghosts.

And all she could hear was the screeching sound of the car wheels coming into contact with the uneven ground.

“We will reach the military within ten minutes. Freshen up.”

He Niancheng’s voice reminded her once again.

The reminder felt unnecessary. After all, Gu Qingjiu felt awake just by hearing He Niancheng’s voice.

She nodded. “I understand, Chief Instructor.”

She wiped her face with her hands and it felt dry, the same as when she wakes up in the morning.

It made Gu Qingjiu feel like she couldn’t get fully awake no matter what.

She turned to look at He Niancheng.

The car was dimly lit, and with that lighting, it made He Niancheng’s facial features seem a little blurred.

Under such a dim light, his handsome facial features seemed to soften. Other than the cold aura that he exuded, his entire being became so dreamy that it felt unreal.

Gu Qingjiu tilted her head to take a closer look. He Niancheng turned around, and with just one look, his whirlpool deep eyes seemed to suck people into them. “You like staring at me that much?”

‘Cough.’

He Niancheng’s rare straightforwardness caused Gu Qingjiu to flush slightly. “Chief Instructor’s handsome.”

Perhaps it was Gu Qingjiu’s imagination, but with that sentence, it felt like the car’s atmosphere changed by a bit.

Hearing Gu Qingjiu’s statement, the corners of He Niancheng’s lips seemed to twitch a little.

But with a blink of her eye, the Chief Instructor’s face was still that unsmiling one.

She probably saw wrongly since she just woke up.

That was how Gu Qingjiu thought it was.

The car soon arrived at the military.

He Niancheng had probably alerted the military personnel guarding the gates beforehand since they immediately let the car drive in upon recognizing him.

The car stopped outside of He Niancheng’s office. Gu Qingjiu waited for He Niancheng to alight before she stepped out.

“Thank you very much, Chief Instructor.”

Gu Qingjiu looked at He Niancheng. Under the night sky, He Niancheng’s face was barely visible. He seemed to have blended in with the silence of the night, only nodding slightly after he had heard Gu Qingjiu’s words.

Gu Qingjiu had no idea how she should express her gratitude to He Niancheng. She thought she could only become a slave to him to repay her gratitude.

Thinking about that, Gu Qingjiu realized that she had to rush back to the dormitory. She waved to He Niancheng. “Chief instructor, bye-bye. I’ll be returning to the dormitory.”

“Mm.”

His voice was plain and clear; it was like cold water echoing in Gu Qingjiu’s ears.

Even with that low tone of his, Gu Qingjiu heard it. Her heart seemed to tremble a little in response as well.
