Back of the Mountain

Life in the new recruit's training camp was dull and insipid.

Apart from the advanced training camp that Yu Bao'er told Gu Qingjiu about, her life every day seemed to repeat for the rest of the time.

The army attached the most importance to discipline, so life was unchangingly rigid.

The only way they could relax was to use their cell phones, that was returned to them every weekend, and personal resting time.

If she could get special approval, she could even go back to Dayi City.

But new recruits like Gu Qingjiu could not receive special approval.

Other than the instructors in charge interacting with them, most of the veteran soldiers did not like the new recruits. They would even have a teasing heart, so the new recruits did not like them very much. The dormitory floors of the recruits and the veterans were different, so there weren't any conflicts between them that were heard of.

During the weekends, Gu Qingjiu did not go out of the dormitory that much and did not look for the veteran Mr. Gu had said who presumably would look after her.

But it was a bit boring to be cooped up in the dormitory without any training activities.

After lunch, Gu Qingjiu lay on her bed and took a nap.

In the cold winter, Gu Qingjiu felt very warm as she snuggled inside her blanket.

Unconsciously, she thought back to her time in prison. Compared to those nightmarish days, what she had right now was considered as a piece of heaven.

It was just that she had thought too much about it—she even dreamt about her past.

Yu Shiwei's beautiful face had been floating in front of Gu Qingjiu, and this gave her an uncontrollable violent impulse. When she wanted to grab Yu Shiwei, she felt that she was facing a mass of air.

This repeated and Gu Qingjiu seemed to be in a world of imbalance. Gu Qingjiu's body felt weightless and it suddenly made her panic.

She wanted someone to catch her and save her from this dark hell.

From that nightmare like prison.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Qingjiu could not explain how she felt and suddenly opened her eyes.

She felt that her whole body was hot.

Because of the tension of her dream, she was sweating.

She rubbed her forehead and got up from the bed. As soon as she got up, her phone rang.

Gu Qingjiu picked it up and saw that it was Yu Bao'er.

Yu Bao'er was different from the withdrawn Gu Qingjiu. She had gotten familiar with a group of veterans and said that she would go hunting with them behind the mountain this morning. She must be having fun right now. She originally called Gu Qingjiu to go with them, but Gu Qingjiu did not want to go.

She did not expect Yu Bao'er to call her now.

"Hello?"

Because she had just woken up, Gu Qingjiu's voice was a little deep and lazy.

Yu Bao'er could hear it from her voice. "Are you sleeping? Qingjiu, I'm a little cold now. Can you bring me extra clothing to Back Mountain Number Five?"

"Didn't you put on enough warm clothes when you went out?"

Gu Qingjiu said this and frowned slightly, but she still got out of bed.

"Help me bring one over. Take the first coat I folded in the wardrobe. I'll wait for you here. Muah!"

With that, Yu Bao'er hung up.

After such a long time together, Gu Qingjiu had now accepted Yu Bao'er as a friend. After all, it was so monotonous in the military camp. No matter how indifferent she was, Gu Qingjiu was unable to resist when she met someone who was so warm and cheerful.

Of course, she could feel that Yu Bao'er did not mean any harm to her.
