Chapter 453: Qi Xiaoran’s Mission
“Be careful, your older brother might break your legs.”
Gu Qingjiu threatened Yu Bao’er.
With an aggrieved look, she said, “I’m just curious. It’s not like I’m going to do it.”
“Alright, alright. Why do you keep thinking of this nonsensical stuff all day long? Hurry up and go to sleep. After we go out and have fun tomorrow, I’ll have to return to school and won’t be able to come out in the next two weeks. You won’t get to see me even if you want to.”
“Aiyah. Alright, alright.”
Yu Bao’er replied, then shrunk into her blanket and closed her eyes to sleep.
As her blanket was fit only for one person, she whipped out another one for Gu Qingjiu to use.
Both thus peacefully drifted off to sleep with a blanket laid over each of them.

Sunday afternoon, Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er had a great time. Then Gu Qingjiu took the train back to the military school.
Before returning to the dormitory, she went to the canteen to eat first, as she usually did.
When she returned to the dormitory, she prepared to take a shower before going to see the Chief Instructor.
Both Gu Qian and Chu Lian were in the dormitory, but Qi Xiaoran wasn’t around.
After Gu Qingjiu came out from a shower, she asked in passing, “Qi Xiaoran hasn’t returned?”
“Nope.”
Gu Qian and Chu Lian, who was playing chess on their phones, waved a hand upon hearing Gu Qingjiu’s question.
Gu Qian then asked Gu Qingjiu, “Qingjiu, what exactly is this Qi Xiaoran doing? Why is she not around all the time yet the school doesn’t seem to care about that?”
Qi Xiaoran frequently wasn’t in school.
Although she didn’t lag on her training and lessons much, she could never be seen once the weekend arrived.
Sometimes, she even spends the night outside on Mondays and Fridays.
This was incredulous considering they were in a military school—a place that enforced strict discipline.
Although nobody asked, the fact that even the school’s leaders were letting her be meant that Qi Xiaoran was an incredible character.
Gu Qian usually didn’t interact with Qi Xiaoran, because she felt that the latter was too cold and aloof.
She was even more aloof than Qingjiu, and it made one not dare to go near her.
Usually, Gu Qingjiu was the only person who would interact with Qi Xiaoran.
Gu Qingjiu paused. “I don’t know either. I’ve never asked her about such matters.”
“You do seem like the sort who wouldn’t ask about such stuff.”
Gu Qian propped her chin up with her hand. “I’m only asking. I feel that this Qi Xiaoran is someone incredible that even the leaders never bother about this matter.” historical
“Since they don’t bother with this, it means they allowed for it to happen. Asking this question means that you’re not smart enough.” Chu Lian rolled her eyes.
Gu Qian flared up. “You’re scolding me again. You only know how to scold me!”

“You’re scolding me again. Don’t think I really can’t tell! Chu Lian, I feel that if we go on like this, we’ll fall out sooner or later. Why don’t we just fall out for good now?”
“Okay.”
“Hmph, let’s fall out for ten minutes. Don’t talk to me!”
The duo started squabbling again. Looking at them, Gu Qingjiu shook her head helplessly.
Then she walked out preparing to head to He Niancheng’s office.
On the way, she considered Qi Xiaoran’s matter for a moment.
In the past, she had indeed never asked Qi Xiaoran about such matters.
Other than the time Qi Xiaoran accidentally had a fever and got injured, she always appeared extremely mysterious.
The more problematic one was perhaps her older brother.
Thinking back to the time Qi Xiaoran fell unconscious, and the words she heard coming from Qi Xiaoran’s mouth, Gu Qingjiu’s curiosity was finally piqued.
As a ‘dark hand’, what sort of missions did Qi Xiaoran usually partake?
