The dumbfounded ones were Huo Yingcheng and Gu Qingjiu.

Walking in front and surrounded by a crowd, He Niancheng looked like the moon with a myriad of stars around him.

His perfectly chiseled face appeared as striking as ever even amidst the resplendent lights.

Exuding a powerful aura, he coldly looked towards where Gu Qingjiu was and was struck with surprise.

Running into her Chief Instructor in such a place made Gu Qingjiu feel awkward and sheepish for some reason.

She felt sheepish with the entire situation, so how much more with Yu Baoer?

The latter was so startled that her soul nearly flew out of her body.

Huo Yingcheng and his party were walking en route to their respective rooms. But after seeing Gu Qingjiu and Yu Baoer, they halted their pace and looked towards them.

Others, who felt perplexed, had stopped in their tracks as well and were looking towards these two girls.

Amidst the awkward atmosphere, it was Huo Yingcheng who spoke first. Qingjiu, youre really bold. Youre supposed to return to the troops in a few days time and you still came to such a place? Do you know that the rules prohibit recruits from coming to such places?

Huo Yingcheng spoke in a quiet tone, and he didnt sound pleased.

But when they looked at his eyes, they could see a smile in them.

He was clearly teasing them.

Gu Qingjiu felt alarmed at hearing this. There was such a rule in the troops?

But when she looked up at Huo Yingchengs gaze, she realized he was only teasing her.

Just as she was about to answer, she caught sight of the Chief Instructors gaze that looked even colder.

Gu Qingjiu felt her heart stop.

On the other hand, feeling bold because she was not in the troops already, Yu Baoer directly answered, Commander Huo, were not doing anything. We just came here to sing, to feel the festive mood. Moreover, arent you guys in such a place, too?

Yu Baoer asking them all so suddenly caused Huo Yingchengs gaze to sweep towards Yu Baoer.

He deliberately teased her. Lass, you have quite a sharp tongue, huh? But do you have any complaints about your superior coming here?

Yu Baoer exclaimed, How would I have the guts?!

Amused with Yu Baoers reply, Huo Yingcheng waved a hand. Forget it. I was just kidding with you guys. Qingjiu, remember to go back early.

Hearing Commander Huos words of concern, Gu Qingjiu finally nodded and said something. Commander Huo, dont worry. My brother is here as well. Hes in the adjacent room. Were just out for a gathering.

Hearing this, Huo Yingcheng nodded.

His group continued on their way.

He Niancheng said nothing throughout.

As he passed by Gu Qingjiu, he retracted his oppressive gaze that he directed towards her.

Gu Qingjiu felt relieved that he didnt say anything.

It was only after they went up the spiral staircase that Yu Baoer stuck out her tongue.

Gave me such a shock. I didnt expect wed run into Commander Huo and Chief Instructor in a place like this. Didnt you say that Commander Huo went away because he had to handle something? Hes back again?

When they left, Commander Huo had yet to return.

Gu Qingjiu replied quietly, Perhaps he came back today. Lets not bother ourselves with this. Its fine if they wont blab. Didnt you want to drink fruit wine? You still want it?

Of course! Yu Baoer quickly pushed Gu Qingjiu towards the counter. Lets hurry. If someone opens the door to their suite and someone came out suddenly, were going to get caught.

Gu Qingjiu nodded helplessly and followed Yu Baoer.
