Chapter 78: Indeed A Man of Striking Appearance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A loud voice came from a distance away, and it sounded gruff and ruffian-like. It caught both Gu Qingjiu and Gu Qingmo by surprise.
They looked up and saw two people walking towards them.
Even the army green military uniform could not conceal the ruffian-ish air on the tall and broad Huo Yingcheng.
Standing next to him was He Niancheng, who had a powerful aura.
His deep and cold eyes were looking at Gu Qingjiu, revealing a hint of coldness and murderous intent that created panic in the hearts of those who saw it.
Gu Qingjiu quickly straightened her body. A distance away, Yu Bao’er and her brother’s friend saluted them.
“Hello, Commander Huo! Hello, Chief Instructor!”
“Hello, Commander Huo! Hello, Chief Instructor!”
“Hello Commander He! Hello, Commander Huo!”
The different forms of greeting were because of their different identities.
Hearing Gu Qingjiu and the others greet them, Gu Qingmo snapped back to his senses. So, this was his younger sister’s superior?
When Huo Yingcheng and He Niancheng entered, they happened to see Gu Qingmo pulling Gu Qingjiu, and the latter appeared to be reluctant. Huo Yingcheng’s first assumption was that Gu Qingjiu’s lover from god-knows-where had chased her all the way to the military and was here to make a scene.
This young chap somewhat looked like a pretty boy!
Huo Yingcheng then turned around and glanced at his Major-General. His statement had made the latter look perplexed.
Huo Yingcheng strode up to Gu Qingjiu and sized Gu Qingmo up. Since he was half a head taller than Gu Qingmo, the way he sternly looked down from a taller height made the latter feel pressured. He then pulled Gu Qingjiu over to him.
Gu Qingmo paused in surprise and released his grip.
“Qingjiu, who is this? Don’t be scared. With me around today, no one will dare touch you!”
Standing some distance away, Yu Bao’er’s eyes nearly popped out. Damn. Since when did Xiao Jiu’er become so chummy with Commander Huo?
Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor were influential characters who were out of their reach!
Gu Qingjiu herself was confused, but she could tell that Huo Yingcheng was clearly speaking up for her. Unsure whether to laugh or to cry, she hurriedly explained, “Commander Huo, this is my older brother! Biological brother!”
Silence.
Huo Yingcheng felt a sense of awkwardness, but since he was someone who had a rich life full of experiences, he merely shifted his body and released Gu Qingjiu. A friendly smile flashed across his face as he slapped Gu Qingmo’s body.
“Aiyah. Why didn’t you say so earlier? So you’re Qingjiu’s older brother? Mm, indeed a man of striking appearance!”
Everyone went speechless.
Commander, you think nobody heard you calling him a pretty boy?
Gu Qingmo glanced at Huo Yingcheng in astonishment, then looked back at Gu Qingjiu, clearly asking her through his gaze who Huo Yingcheng was.
It was Huo Yingcheng’s turn to feel awkward.
Gu Qingjiu nearly burst out laughing as she introduced them. “Brother, this is my superior, Commander Huo. Over there is the Chief Unstructor of us new recruits, Commander He.”
As Gu Qingjiu explained things, she also introduced He Niancheng.
Actually, Gu Qingmo’s gaze was fixed on He Niancheng.
After all, a man like He Niancheng would attract attention wherever he went. Gu Qingmo glanced at He Niancheng, then looked towards Huo Yingcheng, before extending his hand with a smile. “How do you do, Commander Huo? I am Qingjiu’s older brother. May I be so abrupt as to ask directly, are you my sister Qingjiu’s direct superior?”
