When Gu Qingmo saw Gu Qingjiu come back home safely, his frown relaxed. Youre back? Rest earlier, then. Mom and the rest are already asleep.

After that, Gu Qingmo walked towards the toilet before he stopped, as if recalling something. Oh yea, Xiaoxis sleeping on your bed.

Gu Qingjiu nodded.

There was only one guest room in her house which her Great Aunt and husband had already occupied. Their children, on the other hand, naturally shared rooms with the rest.

Gu Qingmo looked like he wanted to ask something, but he paused. Without saying anything, he left.

Gu Qingjiu did not stop him either and instead tiptoed back to her own room.

Gu Xiaoxi was already sleeping soundly on her bed.

She wasnt the kind who tossed and turned a lot in her sleep.

She slept steadily at the side of the bed, and she was using her two tiny arms as her pillow. The little gilr looked orderly even when sleeping.

Gu Qingjiu washed up and changed into her pajamas before climbing into bed. After tucking both herself and Xiaoxi in, she gradually fell asleep.

Early morning. Gu Xiaoxi woke Gu Qingjiu up.

Qi Yuefeng had already prepared breakfast. Great Aunt and the rest had already washed up and were seated at the dining table.

Yao Yanshen was seated as well.

It confused Gu Qingjiu.

After she had left earlier yesterday, Yao Yanshen and Yu Baoer were still fooling around.

When she reached home, Yao Yanshen had yet to return, but he woke up earlier than she did.

She sat down and gulped down a cup of warm milk.

At the dining table, Great Aunt spoke up in a stern voice, Did you guys go to play at the KTV yesterday?

Yao Yanshen nodded. Yes, we did. Mom, didnt you already know?

Of course, I do! But Qingjius a soldier. For a soldier to be at such a place, it wouldnt be good if people found out about it. In the future, youre not allowed to bring her there.

Yao Yanshen eyed Gu Qingjiu before he smiled. Okay, I get it. Last night was just a gathering, so I brought her along. What could happen?

Gu Qingjiu thought in mirth. Her Chief Instructor had already caught her last night.

Would she still be afraid of these?

Father Gu was a typical family man. Upon finishing his breakfast, he read the newspaper at the table before he casually added, Whats your plan for today?

Gu Qingmo was eating his bread as he replied, What other plans do I have? I will bring Qingjiu and the rest to play since she wouldnt get to do that when she returns to the camp in a few days time. It will be two years more before we can see her, so you guys should prepare, too.

Cough! Gu Hong eyed Gu Qingmo. What is there to prepare? Isnt it very normal to join the army? Youre not good with your words.

Gu Qingmo rolled his eyes.

The conversation between the two caused Gu Qingjius lips to curl up into a smile. At the same time, her phone vibrated. Lowering her head, she saw that it was a phone call from Commander Huo.

For him to call this early in the morning, it befuddled her.

She moved to the side to pick up the phone as she greeted, Commander Huo, are you sober?

He seemed to contemplate something before he spoke after a while. Qingjiu, my alcohol tolerance has always been bad, but I drank too much yesterday. I probably said nothing I shouldnt, right?

When he woke up this morning to see He Nianchengs rare cold and mocking expression, Huo Yingcheng could feel the chills run down his back.

He knew that he was drunk yesterday, but he didnt know what had happened then.

He wanted to ask, but He Niancheng threw a statement saying that Gu Qingjiu was present at that time. Wasnt that a hint for him to call her just to ask what exactly happened last night?

Gu Qingjiu sympathized with him. After a deep breath, she said, Commander Huo, I support your actions against tyranny, but I think you revealed your plan too early. My condolences!

Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
