He Qiu frequently fought with Qi Xiaoran. More accurately, they surrounded and beat her up. However, as long as it didn't go overboard, the people in the camp would turn a blind eye to it.

No one dared to intervene.

As sacred as army laws were, He Qiu had the deputy vice commander as her father.

Qi Xiaoran could only swallow whatever grievances she had.

But that was not how Gu Qingjiu felt.

That day, she saw how Qi Xiaoran retaliated against He Qiu. Seeing Qi Xiaoran, she didn't look like the sort who would take it lying down.

And it had been a few days since He Qiu came to look for trouble.

Qi Xiaoran would sometimes come back late at night, but then it only occurred twice or thrice. It wasn't to the point where Gu Qingjiu had any comments about it...

Even if she had no knowledge of what Qi Xiaoran was doing outside at that late.

A week had passed, but Gu Qingjiu's relationship with Qi Xiaoran barely improved.

Both of them had quiet personalities, and Gu Qingjiu wasn't the type to initiate anything unless she felt that it was worth it.

Now that Qi Xiaoran had returned to the dormitory, both of them did not converse at all either.

Chapter 242: The Knife Hidden Under Her Pillow

Gu Qingjiu's mind drifted to the fact that she was going out with the Chief Instructor the next day.

First things first, she soaked her uniform in a basin.

She had two sets of uniforms. Even if it was winter, Gu Qingjiu had the habit of changing a set every two to three days.

Which of course meant that she had to diligently wash it.

After soaking her uniform, she turned around.

It was just in time for her to see Qi Xiaoran putting something under her pillow—something which had a silver glint to it.

That dagger-like shape... It looked like a knife...

Gu Qingjiu paused.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoran probably didn't expect Gu Qingjiu to turn around so quickly. When their gazes met, Qi Xiaoran looked slightly panicked.

Gu Qingjiu's gaze remained on her for only a few seconds, and then she retracted it.

Her gaze was cool as if she saw nothing, and then she walked back to her bed.

But in her mind, she already processed some possible reasons for Qi Xiaoran to hide a knife under her pillow.

This cold roommate of hers suddenly had an air of mystery shrouding her.

It was no wonder why Qi Xiaoran had been alone for such a long time.

But she never thought that Qi Xiaoran might use that knife against her.

After careful consideration, Gu Qingjiu pretended to have something to do and slipped out of the room...

Just so Qi Xiaoran could hide the knife somewhere else.

When she returned a little while later, Qi Xiaoran was no longer there.

She couldn't resist her curiosity as she cast her gaze at Qi Xiaoran's pillow, which was on her bed.

But she didn't flip the pillow over.

'Bang!!!'

Suddenly, a loud sound of someone kicking the door open resounded from behind her.
