Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
When she walked out of the room, Mr. Guwho stood in the middle of the living roomsaw her at a glance.
Qingjiu!
Mr. Gu called out to her, his voice was heavy with concern.
Your mom told me that you wanted to join the military. Is it true?
Mr. Gu was a gentle and elegant man who was a very responsible figure in their family. He was an executive of a small company, and his salary could easily provide for the family and at the same time ensure that they could live without anxiety.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. Yes, Dad. I want to join the military.
She said in a serious tone of voice, showing that she was not joking.
She was usually slightly wooden and gentle in front of outsiders, so her serious attitude at the moment could make people feel her determination.
Mr. Gu furrowed his eyebrows and when he was hesitant, Gu Qingjiu looked up at Qi Yuefeng. Mom, wheres Brother?
Gu Qingjiu had an elder brother, Gu Qingmo, who was now 21 years old.
Your brother is at the university in the Capital. Have you forgotten about it?
Qi Yuefeng was a little surprised.
Gu Qingjiu understood in an instant and was shocked. She had not seen her brother for a long time, so she had forgotten that her brother was still in university and was at school.
She raised her head and gave a faint smile. Sorry, Mom. Im muddled with sleep. I dreamt that Brother came home.
Silly child. Qi Yuefeng came over and touched Gu Qingjius head. Do you miss your brother that much? He will be back for the new year, if you want to see him, dont join the military.
There was a coaxing tone in her voice. In the end, she still wanted to persuade Gu Qingjiu to dismiss her idea.
Because if she joined the military, it was likely that she would not be able to return for the new year.
It was already November and October in the lunar calendar. There were only two months left.
No.
Gu Qingjius determination made Qi Yuefeng feel slightly depressed.
Mr. Gu saw Gu Qingjius behavior and his eyes had a probing look.
Qi Yuefeng did not feel much because she had seen it often, but Mr. Gu felt that there was something different about Gu Qingjiu that day.
He knew that his daughter was slightly stiff and did not care about foreign affairs. Now, he felt that she had a different air to her.
But, this was still his daughter. There was no mistake about it!
If you want to join the military, well let you do as you like.
Mr. Gu calmly said. He did not bear to go against his daughters wishes. Theres a three-month assessment period in the camp. If you fail it, come back. Ill find some connections for you to learn a skill and find a job, or you can go to the Capital to find your brother.
She had not heard such warm words for a long time.
Indulging her and at the same time considerate.
Gu Qingjiu was moved for a moment.
Afraid of being seen by Mr. Gu, she soon smiled. Thank you, Dad. It has always been my dream to join the military. I just didnt tell you. I should have told you before.
Joining the military was her only choice now.
Only then could she avoid the Yu family, but it did not mean that Gu Qingjiu would not take joining the military seriously.
There was another thing. She had to become strong and stand out!
Otherwise, how was she going to fight against the Yu family!
Dont bottle up everything in your heart and talk to us. If not, how can we know what youre thinking?
When Gu Qingjiu heard Qi Yuefengs words, a trace of gentleness flashed past her eyes.
Looking at her parents in front of her, she must protect them well in this life!
