At least now, Gu Qingjiu would gain a good prospect in the army.

Hearing how Gu Qingjiu had expressed her gratitude, He Nianchengs expression seemed to soften a little.

Since he had always been a cold and an expressionless person, even if he only had a minute change in expression, people wouldnt be able to tell.

But Huo Yingcheng had been with He Niancheng for so long that he noticed the minor changes in his expression.

At that moment, Nan Yingxuan and Huo Yingcheng were exchanging curious glances with each other.

Nan Yingxuan looked a little confused as well. But in the end, they then turned their gaze towards Gu Qingjiu in unspoken agreement.

The smile that Gu Qingjiu had on her face carried with it the grace and innocence of a young girl full of spirit.

It was like a graceful, blooming lily that had just erupted from the waters.

Huo Yingcheng coughed. Qingjiu, you should smile more. If you always put on a straight face, you wont have any future.

After all, theyve already suffered enough with He Niancheng by their side.

He Niancheng seemed to have caught the meaning behind Huo Yingchengs words, so he swept a glare at Huo Yingcheng, causing him to tremble inwardly. The latter tried to laugh it off, but he did not dare look towards He Nianchengs direction again.

In a happy tone, Gu Qingjiu said, Since when have I been expressionless?

In fact, she smiled frequently. She just didnt like showing the changes in her emotions in front of strangers.

You just have to smile more!

Huo Yingcheng replied with a smile, but right after he said that, his phone rang.

I will answer this call. You guys continue chatting.

And with that, he left the room.

Leaving the three of them in the infirmary.

Gu Qingjiu felt like the atmosphere became strangely stagnant.

He Niancheng was the kind of person who always had a stern face and was silent, so there wasnt any point in waiting for him to talk. While Nan Yingxuan, on the other hand, wasnt a person who initiated conversations. Hence, the silence in the room was too awkward.

He Niancheng walked in saying nothing. In the end, it was still Nan Yingxuan who spoke, Qingjiu. You joined the army a month ago, right?

Hearing that question, Gu Qingjiu nodded.

Thats right. I entered the army a month ago. Doctor Nan, why are you asking me about that?

Nan Yingxuan revealed a warm smile. Im just casually asking. There are still two more months until the examination for new recruits. At that time, it will be up to you whether you want to stay. Qingjiu, have you thought about that?

Nan Yingxuan asked kindly.

Of course, I will join the army.

Gu Qingjiu replied without hesitation.

When she said that, He Niancheng turned his focus to her as well.

I wouldve thought a girl like you should spend her pleasant life in the city. Why did you think of joining the army?

Nan Yingxuans statement of teasing her was simply out of curiosity.

But the moment Gu Qingjiu heard him, her expression hardened and something strangely cold shone in her eyes.

She had hidden that glint away from Nan Yingxuan. However, He Niancheng who was at the side saw it clearly.

His gaze darkened all of a sudden.

Doctor Nan, what do you mean by a pleasant life? Joining the army has always been my dream, so I have to work hard for this dream!

Gu Qingjiu fed Nan Yingxuan with an excuse.

She said it with all seriousness as if it was the actual reason.

It was so serious that even she herself almost believed it.

Only He Niancheng could tell the strangeness of it. When he was about to say something, Huo Yingcheng rushed into the infirmary. His expression was serious as he passed the cell phone to He Niancheng before whispering something to him.

In her confusion, Gu Qingjiu seemed to have caught the wordMajor-General.
