Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 216: As If It Wasn’t Worth It

On her way back to the dormitory, Gu Qingjiu felt that the temperature that night seemed warmer than usual.

Else, her face wouldn’t feel like it was burning.

She didn’t know what the reason was, but in her daze, something seemed to have changed.

The dormitory building was quiet since it was already late at night and everyone needed to rest.

Although her steps were light, in such an environment that was as silent as a pond...

Her steps were like ripples spreading along calm waters.

Perhaps people could hear them, but most would think it was just a room check.

Gu Qingjiu returned to her room and pushed her door open.

It did not barge even an inch since the door was locked from the inside.

That was only normal since they usually locked the door when sleeping at night.

Thinking that she had to trouble Gao Rui and the rest to open the door caused Gu Qingjiu to frown.

But if she didn’t knock, she wouldn’t have a place to sleep.

After pausing for a moment, she knocked lightly.

The door of the dormitory was made of metal, so even a soft knock was sufficient for people inside to hear.

Not a few moments later, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was Gao Rui, who was clad in her pajamas. She rubbed at her then blurry eyes.

She probably assumed that it was a room check. When she saw that it was Gu Qingjiu, her eyes seemed to clear a little, but she still looked confused.

Gu Qingjiu thanked her. “Thanks, sorry for disturbing.”

“It’s okay,” she replied automatically. She then turned to Feng Meiyun and the rest, realizing that they did not even twitch a little.

When Gu Qingjiu crept in from outside, Gao Rui asked, “Something happened at your home?”

“Mm.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. Once she reached her bed, she didn’t really have the mood to shower.

After all, the water had already been cut by then. Even if she could shower, it would disturb others.

Hence, she slept on her bed after she had removed her clothes.

Although Gao Rui was roused from her sleep to open the door, she wasn’t unhappy or anything.

After a yawn, she simply slept back.

Gu Qingjiu looked at her bed.

She had only knocked twice and Gao Rui had already come to open the door.

It just showed that Gao Rui was highly sensitive to her surroundings.

Following that reasoning, it directly contrasted to Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun, who both were still deep in slumber.

But Gao Rui might just be an extremely light sleeper who would wake up at the slightest noise.

As she thought about that, Gu Qingjiu quickly closed her eyes.

Although she had slept in the car, Gu Qingjiu was still extremely fatigued, falling asleep not long after lying down.

...

Dawn of the second day. Gathering at six in the morning.

Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun had no idea of Gu Qingjiu’s return the previous night.

Hence, they were surprised when they saw Gu Qingjiu when they woke up.

But they didn’t say anything, simply casting weird furtive glances at her.

Gu Qingjiu’s return caused speculations to raise in the squad.

A lot had seen her panicked and anxious self a few days ago, but they had no idea what happened.

And her return was this sudden as well.

Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu couldn’t wrap their heads over what had happened to Gu Qingjiu, nor were they bothered about it.

She wasn’t around for two days, but she seemed fine. It meant that it was probably not a huge matter.

Despite not being a huge problem, the army allowed her to go home. Exactly what was the army doing...?

In their eyes, it was as if Gu Qingjiu wasn’t showing any negative emotions. Her trip home didn’t seem worth it at all.
