Chapter 142: New Recruits’ Three Months Training Period, It’s Over! (6)
Hearing her say that, Gu Qingjiu did not know what to say as well.
She felt a sort of stifling sadness within.
It felt like she had to be separated from a friend she had just made.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s quiet expression, Yu Bao’er spoke, “Don’t be like this. After I go back, we can still talk to each other every week through video calls. Don’t worry.”
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned closer to Gu Qingjiu’s ears, and she whispered, “Plead the Chief Instructor to let you out every week so we can go shopping every weekend.”
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but laugh. Yu Bao’er wished!
If she was really so thick-skinned, she had nothing to worry about!
Yu Bao’er laughed sheepishly. She was just joking since she knew that Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t plead with the Chief Instructor for such matters.
Jiang Yu didn’t hear what Yu Bao’er whispered, but she caught what she had said prior to that. In a shocked tone, she asked, “Bao’er, you’re not coming back?”
Yu Bao’er was not that close with her, but she did not ignore and instead opted for a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Jiang Yu couldn’t react in such a short time. Even Feng Meiyun who was packing her things turned to stare.
“Then... in the future, wouldn’t it just be Qingjiu?”
The way she said that was weird, so the two didn’t utter a sound.
Yu Bao’er continued packing her things before she suddenly sighed. “Don’t worry Qingjiu. I will send you things once I’m out so that you won’t get hungry or cold in here.”
Gu Qingjiu became overwhelmed with joy.
Yu Bao’er laughed at her own words as well.
Gu Qingjiu looked at Yu Bao’er’s smiling expression that was so refreshing. This young lady’s face exuded an aura of youthfulness and those eyes were filled to brim with loveliness.
It exhibited the beauty of girls their age.
How lucky she was—to be reborn and be able to meet these people.
This was a life she wouldn’t have been able to picture in her previous lifetime.
Other than her parents, there were other people who treated her nicely and cared for her.
Suddenly recalling what had happened in the past, Gu Qingjiu felt her eyes watering.
When she thought about what Yu Bao’er had said, it was true.
It was just a two-year period. With the ease of communication lately, there wasn’t a reason they couldn’t keep in touch.
Gu Qingjiu was just worried. No matter how close they were, if they only relied on online means, they would eventually lose heart and their friendship would gradually fade away. That happened so frequently.
Yu Bao’er was one of her few good friends. Qingjiu only hoped that she could cherish what she had.
...
Three days later, the three months’ period for the new recruits officially ended.
A few hundred or so of Gu Qingjiu’s batch mates were carrying big and small bags. All had faces of relief, the joy of freedom, and the longing for their family members.
All of them boarded the chartered bus feeling excited.
After not returning home for three months, the longing for their home probably reached its peak.
Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er carried their belongings as they mixed in the crowd and boarded the bus.
There were no instructors present to send them off, and they all relied on self-responsibility.
And the army also had a fixed rule stating that they had to return within a week.
After boarding the bus, Gu Qingjiu turned back and looked at the rows of buildings.
It was a big day for new recruits like them, but for the regulars and leaders of the camp, it was just like any other.
It had been a long time since Gu Qingjiu went to visit Doctor Nan and she did not bump into the Chief Instructor as well.
She thought about how Yu Bao’er wouldn’t be here next time and that she would not even have a person to talk to.
