Chapter 567: The Reason For His Sudden Departure
“Can… drink!”
Gu Qingjiu, who was in the midst of brushing her teeth, replied to him in a muffled tone.
She merely wanted to drink something hot, and only bought this juice powder because she found plain water too bland.
Upon hearing this, He Niancheng didn’t say anything else. He tore open the packet, poured the contents into a cup, and added hot water to it.
Gu Qingjiu could feel a churning sensation in her stomach as she brushed her teeth.
She touched her abdomen. Although there was a sore and fatigue sensation, she didn’t feel any pain.
Ever since her health improved, add to the fact that she had followed a stringent diet in the army and rarely ate cold foods, it had been a long time since Gu Qingjiu felt menstrual pain.
She was afraid she would suffer from menstrual pain tonight.
In the past, when her menstrual pain came, she felt worse off than dying.
Thankfully up until now, there wasn’t much reaction, so she should probably be fine.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she was okay, Gu Qingjiu’s period was particularly heavy today.
Likely it was due to the influence of alcohol.
Indeed, one should stay away from alcohol, especially girls.
After brushing her teeth and relieving herself, Gu Qingjiu came out looking more relaxed.
“Done.”
He Niancheng brought Gu Qingjiu the juice and handed it to her.
Gu Qingjiu took it from him and was about to sip from it when He Niancheng grabbed her cup. “Don’t drink this first. The water’s just boiled. It’s scalding hot.”
“It’s okay. I’ll just be more careful.”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head, then brought the cup to her lips and cautiously sipped from it.
She was seated on the sofa, and He Niancheng was sitting beside her. He circled his arm around her waist and watched as Gu Qingjiu drank the juice. Because of her flushed cheeks, she exuded an indescribable lonely vibe.
She seemed to be thinner…
It had merely been ten-odd days.
Looking at such a Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng’s brows furrowed. He smoothed Gu Qingjiu’s hair and asked, “Did you eat properly recently?”
Of course, she ate normally.
But she had been over-training these days, hence grew thinner.
But in fact, her weight didn’t decrease, for she had gained muscles.
When she heard He Niancheng’s words, Gu Qingjiu felt the anger again. “When you left you merely left a text message. How am I supposed to eat with a peace of mind?”
Bottling up anger, to begin with, she threw a mild temper in front of He Niancheng.
“Back then, I wanted to get Joker to bring you a message.”
Being a proud one, He Niancheng wouldn’t apologize to Gu Qingjiu a second time having already done it once. But he was willing to coax her.
“But I thought that since I won’t be gone for long, I simply left you a text message. Am I not back already? I promise you that something of the sort will never happen again.”
Only after getting this reassurance from him, was Gu Qingjiu’s anger appeased.
After the anger subsided, a pang of inconcealable guilt replaced it. “Chief Instructor, you left in such a hurry. Is it really because China forbids you from staying on any longer?”
If she hadn’t suddenly fallen sick and He Niancheng hadn’t gone to take care of her, perhaps none of this would have happened.
“Of course not.”
However, He Niancheng chuckled and denied it. “How can China possibly seek trouble with me because of this matter?”
“Something happened on my father’s side.”
Or else he wouldn’t have left so rashly and left Gu Qingjiu all alone.
