Chapter 65 - You’re Awake

Chapter 65: You’re Awake

Huo Yingcheng was a crass man who was slow to realize, but Nan Yingxuan was different. He probably sensed the awkwardness that Gu Qingjiu was emitting.

He took a box full of bottles of oral medication from the cabinet and walked towards Gu Qingjiu.

“This is a tonic. It doesn’t do much, but drinking it is good for your body. Drink it when it’s gone.”

Gu Qingjiu understood the last part of his statement right away, and her face flushed in a deep red, not daring to look Nan Yingxuan in the eye. She accepted the box of tonic from his hands, and she softly replied, “Thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome. It’s ten dollars, remember to write your name down.”

“...”

Huo Yingcheng continued to observe Gu Qingjiu’s actions.

From the few times he’d seen her, Gu Qingjiu was the type of girl who wouldn’t even blink an eye even if mountains were to crumble. She was calm beyond measure, so her embarrassment at that moment was an unfamiliar sight for Huo Yingcheng.

He sighed. “Qingjiu, why is your face red?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

People like Huo Yingcheng didn’t know how to leave face for others.

The infirmary had a joyous atmosphere, but then, He Niancheng entered.

Even though it was already winter, the three of them could feel the drop in temperature with his presence around.

When He Niancheng entered, he turned to cast a glum look at Gu Qingjiu who was on the bed.

Within those seconds, he seemed to be in shock.

Thinking about the fact that her instructor carried her to the infirmary, and that she had freaked out their commander, she kept her head low in a rare bout of unbearable embarrassment.

“Since she is already awake, why are you still guarding her?”

He Niancheng’s voice resounded through, but the meaning behind his words was weirder.

Gu Qingjiu raised her head to see that He Niancheng directed his question at Huo Yingcheng.

In a tone that Gu Qingjiu couldn’t understand, Huo Yingcheng exploded, “Commander! The tone which you’re speaking in makes me feel like you’re insulting my morale.”

“Oh?”

He Niancheng’s lids lowered slightly as he looked at Huo Yingcheng, and there were no traces of gentleness imbued in his orbs. He then turned to look at Gu Qingjiu with a strange glint flashing in his eyes. “I think it’s more of an insult to her morales.”

Huo Yingcheng was speechless.

Gu Qingjiu was a little bewildered.

And the next thing she knew, Huo Yingcheng waved his hands at her as he said, “Rest well, lass. I’m going.”

And he left.

Nan Yingxuan, who was at the side, couldn’t hold back his soft chuckles and his shoulders shook as he did so.

When Gu Qingjiu saw him laugh, a memory of Su Lingche flashed across her mind.

But she quickly realized that it was a dangerous emotion, so she shook her head to remove that image from her mind.

Nan Yingxuan was incredibly good looking when he laughed.

It was like sunshine during spring—capable of melting everything.

And the magnificent Commander He Niancheng did not visit the infirmary to ask about Gu Qingjiu’s wellbeing but rather to find Nan Yingxuan. Both then walked out together after Huo Yingcheng left. It seemed that they had something to discuss together.

At that moment, Gu Qingjiu had a realization.

Huo Yingcheng, He Niancheng, and Nan Yingxuan were probably friends.

Because with He Niangcheng’s personality and Huo Yingcheng’s rank, there was no need for them to treat a doctor in the army this well.

And even to the point of hanging around in the infirmary the entire day.

She thought these people had mysterious backgrounds, too.

But Gu Qingjiu had no time for such thoughts.

“Qingjiu, are you awake?”
