Chapter 707: Untitled
Gu Qingjiu accompanied Gu Qingmo over Chinese New Year in the States so that Gu Qingmo wouldn’t feel too lonely spending this holiday in the US alone.
Gu Qingjiu knew that Qin Wange was also in the US, but she didn’t know where in the US.
If Gu Qingmo needed to calm down, now wasn’t the best timing to see him.
Gu Qingjiu officially returned to China after the Chinese New Year.
*
Winters passed, and springs arrived.
These three years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over this period, a lot had happened, but overall it was considered to be relatively peaceful.
Gu Qingjiu, who was in her fourth year in school, would be officially graduating this year.
Once the international competition was over, it was the best timing for her to graduate.
Qi Xiaoran and her dorm mate Chu Lian, who were selected to be signaller soldiers, had to go over to the borders to start their training.
Since Gu Qingjiu got injured three years ago, the Ninth Department rarely sent Gu Qingjiu on a mission.
The missions she went on were more or less the same, but they had one point in common—that was, they seemed to be testing something.
Their main objective wasn’t for Gu Qingjiu to complete the mission.
This was what Gu Qingjiu couldn’t comprehend.
And when she turned twenty, she and Helian Niancheng registered their marriage.
Although they were two people of different nationalities entering a marriage, with her special identity, Gu Qingjiu’s nationality remained unchanged. Still, the law recognized her marriage with Helian Niancheng.
But if something should happen in the future, to put it more nastily, if they were to get a divorce someday, things would get troublesome.
This was as good as saying it was nearly impossible for them to get divorced once they got married.
But Gu Qingjiu never minded this.
As the wedding would only take place this year, other than Elder Gong and those people, not many people knew of this.
Even her parents weren’t too clear about it. They understood very well that if no surprises cropped up, their daughter would marry Helian Niancheng.
Over this period, Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng had gone back home together quite often, so their relationship was no secret to her family.
The international competition would commence in July, and once June was over, Gu Qingjiu would officially graduate from school.
On the last night before leaving, Gu Qingjiu and her dorm mates started their final graduation gathering.
The four girls were gathered together. Gu Qian had the opportunity to enter the capital troops, and as for the other three—Gu Qingjiu was preparing for the international competition, while Chu Lian and Qi Xiaoran were heading to the borders.
They each had somewhere they were going to go to.
Other than Qi Xiaoran and Chu Lian, the others were going to be separated from each other.
“I hope we’ll meet again in the future.”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The four of them were gathered in a suite inside a restaurant. As they were graduating, they let their hair down and ordered some beer.
Other than Qi Xiaoran, who was quiet as she always was...
Chu Lian and Gu Qian appeared much more melancholic. Especially Gu Qian, whose eyes turned red as she gulped down the beer.
“I don’t know if we’ll have the opportunity to meet again in the future.”
Gu Qian sounded choked as she said this.
“I’m sure we’ll meet again soon.”
Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips. Once the international competition was over, she would hold her wedding with Helian Niancheng, and when the time came, she would invite these three.
Gu Qian thought she was joking. “Hope so.”
After all, they had only just graduated and were about to embark on their separate paths, so it was likely they wouldn’t have so much free time.
Unless it was some significant occasion.
“Work hard once you enter the troops, guys. Xiaoran and I will be at the borders and won’t have much chance to struggle. Gu Qian, you and Qingjiu have got to make a good showing.”
Chu Lian spoke up. Gu Qian smiled and said, “You ought to say this to Qingjiu.”
With that, she looked towards Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, you’ve got to give your best for the international competition in July. You’re now our school’s legend!”
