Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi walked to the dining hall. On the other hand, Guo Rou caught up with them from behind and followed along.

Guo Rou nudged Gu Yan’s shoulder and said, “Gu Yan, why do I feel the Demon King is targeting you?”

On the side, Shen Jiayi felt torn up inside.

She knew Captain Lu was dating Gu Yan, but why was he so mean to Gu Yan?

Was Gu Yan the party who was always wronged in the relationship?

Shen Jiayi, who hadn’t dated before, couldn’t understand this at all. She was very worried about her friend. She wanted to ask Gu Yan, but Guo Rou was next to them.

As for Guo Rou, she didn’t completely know about Gu Yan and Lu Ye’s relationship yet.

Gu Yan smiled calmly. “It has nothing to do with targeting. Stricter instructors are all like this, right? By the way, how come I don’t see Lin Xiaoyu?”

She changed the subject subtly.

Guo Rou continued, “She’s on her period today and was allowed to take the day off. Quite a lot of people are envious. However, it’s just postponing the inevitable. The Demon King said that this would continue for twenty days. Hehe, who would have a period for twenty days anyway? By the way, Zhang Cuihua also pretended she’s having her period. Hahaha, I wonder what she’s going to do when she really gets her period!”

Guo Rou spouted out the words with no filter.

As the three conversed, they soon arrived at the dining hall. During this time, there were a lot of people present. The three split off as Guo Rou went to find seats while Shen Jiayi and Gu Yan proceeded to get food.

Later on, they found a recently vacated four-seater table. The three sat down to eat. Suddenly, a male soldier came over with a plate.

“Little Gu?” The soldier’s tone was uncertain.

The three girls looked up in unison.

“Xiao Gu, it really is you!” Song Qiliang’s eyes lit up. He smiled warmly.

He placed his plate on the remaining seat and politely asked Guo Rou and Shen Jiayi, “Do you mind if I sit here?”

The two of them shook their heads, indicating they didn’t mind.

Song Qiliang’s tone had a trace of surprise and joy. “Xiao Gu, my mother wrote to me a while ago saying that you were at the special training squad. She told me to take care of you. I happened to be out on a mission. I came to be an instructor here. I’m the vice instructor of the Arts Department. I was trying to look for you, but I didn’t expect to see you here instead.”

Noticing how Gu Yan became more beautiful, which was drastically different from the gloomy skinny girl he knew, Song Qiliang’s eyes lit up. His speech became fast-paced as his palms started to sweat a little.

He remembered the letter his mother sent to him, especially the part about him asking out Gu Yan…

Song Qiliang’s ear started to heat up.

Gu Yan was much more collected in comparison.

She gave him a smile. “I’ve been pretty well. The comrades have been really nice to me these few months. I quite like the life here. Brother Qiliang, how is Aunty Sun?”

“My mom is doing well. She just thinks about you a lot,” Song Qiliang responded nervously. He wanted to study Gu Yan closely but was embarrassed to do so.

Guo Rou looked at the two catching up. This guy’s expression made people think there was something more. She was just about to say something when she felt the temperature drop to freezing point real quick.

Guo Ruo felt as though some beast was staring at her.

Similarly, the others felt there was something amiss with the atmosphere.

Naturally, Guo Rou would feel it stronger than the rest because the person standing behind her was looking at her coldly.

Lu Ye was holding his plate. He didn’t even look at Gu Yan and just said to Guo Rou, “You’re done eating, right? Give me the seat.”
