This chapter was actually finished yesterday, but i deliberately delayed its release to avoid April Fool shenanigan.

Enjoy.

"Qi Qi, don't be like that. Once we graduated, we will be spreading far apart and be attending in different universities. I have invited the whole cla.s.s for this party. It will be a complete gathering. Everyone will be coming, you can't miss out on this."

Everyone will be coming?

Does this mean that Xiao Ning……will be going as well?

"If Xia Ning is coming, I will too."

"Certainly! I had already asked Xia Ning. She accepted the invitation."

"Very well." Gu Qi Qi responded.

The large rock inside her heart was finally let go.

She didn't have any contact with Xia Ning for quite some time, thus she was concerned for her well-being. She hoped that this would be the perfect opportunity to have a proper talk with her in person. So that she could find out which scoundrel was responsible for her potential pregnancy.

"Qi Qi, let us meet again at the Jade Feast pub in three days. I had reserved a VIP room for us all."

"Alright."

At that night.

Gi Qi Qi was too anxious to fall asleep.

Even though the bedroom door was locked, this was still the impotent man's territory.

There was no telling that he could have some ********.1 Perhaps he might climb from the windows next door, or even……

He could easily break open the door lock with his strong arms?

Gu Qi Qi did not want to be pressed down on the bed by him again.

So she continued to toss and turn sleeplessly.

At ten to midnight.

The noise of soldiers on the training ground came to an end.

At that moment, Gu Qi Qi got up from the bed on tiptoe.

The impotent man should be asleep at this late of night. It should be safe right?

She opened the bedroom door and took a quick look at the pitch-dark corridor.

Hm, the coast is clear.

Very good.

She quietly slipped downstairs to the kitchen, in order to look for something to eat.

The options for soldier's late night snacks were simple. There were minced pork congee with preserved egg2 and roast steamed bread.3

There were still quite a few of them in the kitchen heat preservation tray.

Yet she want to eat something cold instead of hot.

As she rubbed her stomach, she figured that her great aunt4

should be arriving soon.

Whenever her great aunt approached, she explicitly wanted to eat something cold. Even though it might not be a healthy option, she couldn't help it.

The only problem was that the only cold food available in the kitchen were frozen meat and ice cubes.

She couldn't possibly eat those right?

Gu Qi Qi propped on the dining table gloomingly with both hands. As she was thinking back about the melted ice cream at the streetside today, she couldn't help but licked her lips.

As expected, one would long for things that were beyond their reach……

While she was reminiscing the ice cream taste, she unexpectedly heard a string of footsteps from the darkness.

The resounding sound was coming closer and closer!

It was the familiar sound of those military boots!

The back of Gu Qi Qi stiffened.

The impotent man!

The next second had pa.s.sed, Gong Jue arrived behind her back. His tall body was blocking her escape, compelling her to stick closer to the dining table.

One of his arms propped on the dining table, as if he was creating a stand alone s.p.a.ce for her to be confined in.

"I only want to find something to eat, I didn't break any of your military rules? You can't punish me for that……"

Gu Qi Qi was in full alert, so she initiated the conversation.

However, Gong Jue didn't answer. He merely scoffed at her coldly.

His other arm extended out right in front of her.

Gu Qi Qi suspiciously took a small cone shaped object from Gong Jue's palm.

It was something ice-cold upon contact.

"A chocolate ice cream cone?"

The eyes of Gu Qi Qi s.h.i.+nned. She gulped, seemingly in disbelief: "For me?"

"Hm."

Gong Jue was looking at Gu Qi Qi, who behaved like a delightful child holding onto the ice cream cone.

The stupid woman was still a stupid woman.

She could be bribed just with one ice cream cone?

It appeared what the old adjutant had spoke of was somewhat reasonable, so he added a meritorious achievement under his belt for now.

For the entire day, the appearance of Gu Qi Qi's red and swollen eyes were lingering in his mind.

That tough and unperturbed little thing would unexpectedly cry in tears.

Yet he inexplicably wanted to try cheering her up?

However, he never tried to cheer this sort of creature known as woman in his whole life!

Truly a troublesome endeavor.

1. [In the raw, it was also in asterisk ******** as well. I am not too certain the meaning or censoring. However, if I have to make an educated guess, she could be preferring to a name of the mental disorder. (Author decided to censor/ leave it in asterisk so it wouldn't be too sensitive/offensive?)]↩

2. [Minced pork congee with preserved egg (皮蛋瘦肉粥)

3. [Roast steamed bread (火烤饅頭片)

4. [As mentioned in older chapter footnote before (forgot which one), the great aunt (大姨媽) is a slang for period/ menstruation.]↩
