Chapter 360: You Better Stay at a Hotel

Huo Yingcheng wouldn’t ask out of the blue. But if they refused to tell her, there wasn’t a way for Gu Qingjiu to find out more.

When they got back to the hostel, it was already very late.

So late that the hostel building was already locked. Gu Qingjiu couldn’t very well find the management to open the gate at the risk of alerting her superiors.

After midnight, the management absolutely wouldn’t open the gate for the students.

Even for Qi Xiaoran, she would at most return right before it hits midnight.

The standard time for lights out for students was 10 in the evening.

As she sat in the car, she started feeling drowsy. “The hostel already locked the gate…”

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come back.

She simply thought that there wasn’t anything she could do over there anyway, and she hadn’t expected that she wouldn’t be able to return to the hostel after coming back.

When Huo Yingcheng got out of the car, he looked dazed as well. “Right, you can’t go back to the hostel now.”

He looked towards He Niancheng right away.

He Niancheng’s cold gaze halted on Gu Qingjiu. “I have a side room over there, you may sleep there.”

Huo Yingcheng was speechless.

Gu Qingjiu’s face turned red. “No… I don’t think it’s a good idea, Chief Instructor.”

Huo Yingcheng’s eyes nearly popped out. “Isn’t your progress a little too fast? If she sleeps at your place, how is Qingjiu going to face everyone if others saw her tomorrow morning?”

“Exactly!”

Gu Qingjiu agreed with a flushed face.

“Then sleep at your place?”

He Niancheng looked at Huo Yingcheng with a gaze so cold it was terrifying.

Huo Yingcheng was speechless.

He was stumped for words.

But he was quick-thinking. “Even if she can’t sleep in school, it doesn’t mean she can’t sleep outside. Aren’t there hotels around?”

Although the National Military University of China was in a remote location, there were still hotels around.

It was because parents would come from faraway places to visit their children. Hence, there naturally were hotels in the vicinity. It was just that there weren’t a lot of them.

It wasn’t certain if there were available rooms at that moment, too.

“The hotels are not clean!”

He Niancheng spoke resolutely. Gu Qingjiu meekly spoke up. “It’s okay…”

Before she could finish her sentence, He Niancheng stared at her with a gaze so icy it was terrifying.

His aura instantly darkened. He then turned around and blended in with the night scenery as he walked towards his hostel building.

“Then take her there.”

Seeing that He Niancheng was leaving without even turning around, Gu Qingjiu felt uneasy. “Chief Instructor seems to be angry.”

“Let him be! If you sleep over at his place, do you still want your reputation or not?”

Huo Yingcheng suddenly couldn’t quite fathom his Major-General’s thinking.

Gu Qingjiu was still a student. Regardless, she couldn’t very well sleep at his place, right?

But that did seem like his intention.

Eh, as a youngster, he couldn’t quite understand the avant-garde thinking of these old people.

Huo Yingcheng got into the car. “Let’s go, I’ll help find you a hotel.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded before climbing into the car again.

She had to admit that she was tempted for a moment when the Chief Instructor first raised the suggestion.

She nearly couldn’t control her brain and accepted it.

The Chief Instructor sounded so tempting!

Thankfully, her sense of shame succeeded in suppressing this thought.

But why would the Chief Instructor ask her to sleep at his place?

What was he thinking?

Just as Gu Qingjiu was deep in thought, Huo Yingcheng brought her to a hotel on a street outside the school.

Gu Qingjiu got out of the car by herself and asked. Thankfully, they had available rooms.

She booked a room, then bade Huo Yingcheng farewell before entering the hotel.
