Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 489: Signaller Soldier

“Eh, Qingjiu? You’re back?”

Gu Qian asked Gu Qingjiu upon seeing her the moment they returned to the dorm.

Gu Qingjiu drowsily replied, “Mm.”

She didn’t sleep well the previous night, and she had to wake up early.

Now that she was lying on her bed, she couldn’t help but feel drowsy.

Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, Gu Qian didn’t ask more.

And instead, she got busy with her things.

When afternoon training began, Gu Qingjiu was well-rested enough to practice.

But she heard another news in the afternoon.

The commanding officer said that the higher-ups ordered a new group of signaller soldiers. In other words, they wanted to recruit people who were good at both combat and technical skills.

They would start training from year one and transfer to the borders. Applications are for anyone willing.

They would also be treated very well.

The conditions at the borders were not great, but the good treatment they offered was enough to tempt many students.

After all, many students from the National Military University of China had an ordinary background. They were all here for a better future.

Since there was a chance now, many people wanted to grab it.

There weren’t many slots. Only a hundred were offered to the entire school.

Temptation hadn’t dawned on Gu Qingjiu yet, and the Commanding Officer informed everyone that several students from their class couldn’t make this choice.

One of them was Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu was slightly befuddled. The Commanding Officer told her that since she belonged to the Shooting Department, the department wouldn’t allow her to do so even if she wanted to go.

And special troops like signallers required stamina, something which Gu Qingjiu didn’t have.

Although Gu Qingjiu could follow her usual training, she was only average amongst them. If she were to try for it, she wouldn’t make the mark.

Gu Qingjiu had no intention of going, but she couldn’t deny the truth in the Commanding Officer’s words.

She had long known that she had a weak constitution. Although the situation was turning for the better, it still wasn’t the best.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu didn’t mind not having the choice to choose.

She had already affirmed her direction to develop her shooting, so she yet had to make considerations for the other aspects.

Hence, she didn’t think too much about her stamina.

After all, most of the people here had similar levels of stamina!

When she returned to the dormitory, she found out that Chu Lian and Qi Xiaoran had signed up.

Gu Qingjiu was puzzled. “They will transfer you to the border in the future. Will you guys be able to stand it?”

Chu Lian shook her head and sighed. “You don’t understand. The borders are fun. I want to fight in the war!”

The border was the line of defense for the country. Soldiers guarding them had to face numerous difficulties.

There were many criminals and foreign threats. Skirmishes were frequent, and conditions were harsh and dangerous.

Soldiers often lost their lives.

And it was because of their protection that the country gets to enjoy its peace and prosperity.

Chu Lian’s reason was bold.

Qi Xiaoran’s reason was more casual. “I got first in dueling. The Commanding Officer asked me to try out, and so I agreed.”

“I wonder what your brains are made of? We are students of a military school. When we graduate, entering any department would be better than going to the borders. Must you change your aspirations now?”

Gu Qian was even more confused.

Gu Qingjiu knew Chu Lian’s reason, but Qi Xiaoran’s reason was not this simple.

She was already a dark hand, so why did she have to transfer to the borders?

It might be an order from the higher-ups.

That was just her speculation, but she couldn’t voice it out either.
