Yu Bao’er’s expression was dark. After hearing Gu Qingjiu ask her about it, she instantly started to grumble nonstop.
“I just don’t understand. I admitted to fighting and have accepted my punishment by cleaning the toilets, but why did he have to call my parents? Did he think that he was a teacher who had to arrange a parent-teacher meeting in school? The most important thing is that stupid Feng Meiyun. She even started crying after being scolded! I said that I wanted to change rooms, but the instructor denied it! I’m so angry!”
“Call parents?”
Gu Qingjiu found it weird as well.
Did they need to get their parents for such a thing too?
This… was a little funny!
“Hm. I’m going to die two days later. Instructor Chen asked me to read my reflection letter during the New Recruits’ meeting. The Chief Instructor is going to watch us too. I don’t know how he’s going to view me after that.”
After she had mentioned the Chief Instructor, Yu Bao’er’s voice suddenly became similar to a young teenager in love. She grumbled with some coyness in her voice.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She really didn’t understand Yu Bao’er sometimes. Was she afraid that the Chief Instructor would have something against her then?
As Yu Bao’er spoke, she sat on her bed, looking like all hope was lost. She banged her head against the wooden bed frame nonstop and soft thuds could be heard.
Seeing that she was so troubled, Gu Qingjiu went forward. “You shouldn’t be worried about this now. You have to clean the toilets for a month. Don’t you think this is more important than calling your parents?”
Yu Bao’er froze.
She then glanced at Gu Qingjiu like her soul was flying out of her. “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I was still overwhelmed with anger since they called my parents. I have dismissed cleaning the toilets as nothing… But thinking about it now…”
Her voice suddenly turned into a loud and sorrowful shrill. “Qingjiu, I really want to die!”
Gu Qingjiu said nothing.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She looked up at the quiet dormitory room. Even if she knew it would make Yu Bao’er unhappy, she still asked, “Since you came back first, what happened to Feng Meiyun?”
Indeed, Yu Bao’er turned her head away. She clearly didn’t want to answer anything related to Feng Meiyun. “Hmph. She ran away crying the moment we left the office. I don’t know where she ran to cry her sorrows away. Let’s not care about her!”
With that said, she hissed and caressed her cheek. “That b*tch was really cruel! She scratched my face so strongly. Qingjiu, see, did I get disfigured?”
Gu Qingjiu walked over and inspected Yu Bao’er’s face.
The girl’s youthful skin was so soft and supple that it seemed like water could seep out with a pinch. However, there were indeed some ugly scratches on her left cheek. Together with her fair skin, the red marks looked alarming.
Gu Qingjiu furrowed her eyebrows. “Do you want me to put some medicine for you?”
Yu Bao’er had also slapped Feng Meiyun, so she wouldn’t say that Feng Meiyun was being too mean.
“Yeah. I’m scared that it will leave scars. I have a scar ointment in my bag. I don’t know whether it’s useful, so you can just put a little?”
Hearing this, Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips as she giggled. “This is just a scratch. There isn’t even a wound. Why would there be a scar?”
Even so, Gu Qingjiu still went to Yu Bao’er’s luggage to help her find the ointment.
The ointment smelled a little strong, but after they had applied it on Yu Bao’er’s cheek, it changed into a cooling sensation. Only when she watched Gu Qingjiu close the cap of the ointment was when Yu Bao’er was able to finally relax. Gu Qingjiu then went to wash her hands.
When Gu Qingjiu returned beside her, Yu Bao’er smiled brightly. She reached out to hug Gu Qingjiu’s waist and she whined, “Qingjiu, it’s so nice to have you.”
Gu Qingjiu was still unaccustomed to others’ touches, so she quietly struggled out of the hug. Then again, she still wore a smile on her lips. “I’m not nice. I didn’t even help you when you were fighting. Of course, that’s because I didn’t want to do it.”
