Although in a good mood, but the third brother is now financially tight, noon meal or not ruthlessly go to a restaurant but took Gu Ning to the canteen.
The army canteen at noon could be said to be bustling with activity, more than three hundred people a canteen.
I don't know how many rounds of people had passed by Gu Ning's table, but they all deliberately went around to see the legendary marksman, and some were embarrassed to look too long and deliberately went around a few more times. They were shocked when they saw that Gu Ning was as young as the legend and that she was a very soft looking young beauty.
The men of the third company all felt honoured and expressed their sincere admiration for Gu Ning's ability to eat calmly without looking away under such intense scrutiny.
The third brother suddenly said, "Gu Ning, I think you have to travel back and forth in the morning and evening for more than four hours, it's too much of a waste of time. The first thing you need to do is to ask your family to stay here for a few days. If you're afraid, I'll have Zhang Xiaobai and the others stand guard for you at night."
Gu Ning considered this proposal of Third Brother very carefully, the four-hour round trip drive was indeed a waste, living here would indeed be much more convenient, but the parents' side had to lie and muddle through - Gu Ning could not help but hesitate.
"That's right Gu Ning, you need to put all your heart and soul into your training now. You don't have to look at abusing us, but the Five Star Brigade is more ruthless than the others, so you can't take it lightly." Zhang Xiaobai said with a sincere face and laughed twice and said, "If you have time, you can also guide me. If we both join the Five Star Brigade, we can at least take care of each other, right?"
The soldiers of the Third Company all echoed, eager to let Gu Ning stay.
Gu Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I told my parents that I was working as a governess, and didn't tell them what I was doing in the army now."
Third Brother froze for a moment and then said, "That's fine, give me your parents' phone number and I'll tell them." As he said that, he took his phone out of his pocket and said, "Gu Ning, don't mind if I tell you, I have all the information about your family here, and I have all your family background on my side, I can help you deal with your parents' side."
It seemed that she had been investigated to the letter, Gu Ning didn't feel uncomfortable, she fully understood that this was a normal procedure, but after careful thought she still said, "Let me think about it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
The third brother can also understand Gu Ning's concern, put the phone away and the topic turned to training: "I received news last night that people from the five-star brigade had arrived in Jin Yong a long time ago and are now nestled in a hotel. According to reliable information, the people who came this time are not the same as the ones who came last time, but the people who came this time seem to be important people from the Five Star Brigade." He paused and looked at Gu Ning with some solemnity, "This also means that perhaps this time it will be even more harsh than every other time in previous years."
In a heavy silence, Zhang Xiaobai suddenly came over and said, "Company Commander, where on earth did you get this reliable information? It's not a deliberate attempt to scare us, is it?"
Third Brother pressed Zhang Xiaobai's face to press him back into his seat, then continued to say to Gu Ning, "Although I have faith in you, those people in the Five Star Brigade ... I can only say that they are really powerful, beyond what you can imagine. Not to mention that the ones who are here this time are also important figures of the Five Star Brigade."
Zhong Xu said with a heavy face, "Last year those guys who weren't even important people were already hanging us."
"And last year that gang simply didn't take a straight look at people, their eyes were looking at the sky, looking at people with their noses in the air. This year there are still important people, so they might as well be on their toes." Luo Long said.
San said indifferently, "Last year, there was a soldier in the first company who was particularly good at close combat. Later, he went back to the military academy for postgraduate studies."
Zhang Xiaobai was a bit baffled when he heard this, "Don't bully me and Gu Ning, we don't know anything about this, right?"
Zhong Xu glanced at him and said, "You'll know when that time comes."
Third Brother said, "So the next few days will be intense training, which is why I want you to stay in the family building."
Gu Ning nodded gravely then said, "Well, I'll give it serious consideration."
Third Brother did not accompany him anymore for the afternoon training.
Zhang Xiaobai mysteriously said to Gu Ning, "Gu Ning, do you know? If our company, including you, selects one person to be in the five-star brigade, then there will be a bonus of 100,000 for the company commander. The company also has another bonus. If we are both selected, our company commander will be rich. Let's both make a deal first, then we'll join forces to knock this iron cock of a company commander into a big deal, and let him treat us all to seafood at a big restaurant in the city."
Gu Ning was a little stunned, while in her heart she vaguely felt something was wrong with the Five Star Brigade, what kind of organisation was it? However, when she asked Third Brother, he only said vaguely that she would naturally know after she entered the Five Star Brigade, and that if she didn't enter the Five Star Brigade then she didn't need to know. In other words, she could only find out what kind of organization it was when she entered the Five Star Brigade.
Gu Ning was a little helpless even to herself, not even knowing what the Five Star Brigade actually did and just barging ahead. But the post-apocalyptic world was evolving too fast, and she hadn't evolved her powers yet, and if she was really unlucky, there was a good chance that she would never be able to have them, so close combat was her means of survival, and the Five Star Brigade was the place she had to go.
The afternoon's intense training had Zhang Xiaobai screaming in agony, but Gu Ning was fine, after saying goodbye to Third Brother it was still Luo Long's responsibility to see her off, still getting off the bus one street away from the district.
It was already 6:30 at this time, in the post-apocalyptic world it's already too late to see five fingers, but the sky was still very bright here, and the streetlights were just coming on.
Gu Ning stopped when she passed a shop selling mobile phones, remembering the explanation of the method she walked in.
When she came out she was holding an old Nokia with a special price of 199, a phone she had once used in high school and had a sense of familiarity with. After buying another card she sent a message to Method and Sango. Then she put the phone in her pocket and headed for home.
The neighborhood where Gu Ning's house is located is a bit old, and in front of the new high-rise buildings that have been built, Gu Ning's neighborhood looks very old.
There was an old osmanthus tree downstairs that was older than Gu Ning's, and it was the time of year when the fragrance of the flowers was strong. A man was standing quietly waiting under the tree, wearing a light blue shirt, his suit jacket resting on his arm, his figure erect, he seemed to have waited for a long time, and there was something vaguely annoying between his brows.
When Gu Ning saw Lu Jiazi standing there, she was distracted for a moment, thinking that when she used to go to school Lu Jiazi would occasionally wait for her under this laurel tree downstairs, and she would be overjoyed just to see him, so how could she ever notice the impatience hidden between his brows?
Gu Ning just stood there quietly looking at this man she used to like so much, her mood was a little complicated until Lu Jiazi felt Gu Ning's gaze, turned his head inadvertently, saw Gu Ning standing there quietly and was a little surprised: "Gu Ning?" Another smile, "Peeking at me?" The smile on his face was slightly delayed by the coldness on Gu Ning's face, "Did something happen?"
Gu Ning shook her head and asked, "Are you looking for me for something?"
Lu Jiazi walked over towards Gu Ning and said, "We haven't gone to dinner for a long time, and today we managed to put off a dinner party, so I wanted to go to dinner with you, but who knew you weren't there. I've been waiting here for half an hour, let's go, let's go eat, I've booked a new restaurant, I heard it tastes good ... Gu Ning?" He took a few steps before realizing that Gu Ning wasn't following him and stopped in his tracks, somewhat surprised.
Gu Ning said, "I've eaten."
Lu Jiazi first froze, then walked up to Gu Ning, sighed deeply, and then said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Are you angry with me? Ning Ning, I've been really busy lately, the company has given me a new project and I'm really busy, so I've only managed to find some time to have dinner with you.
Having known Gu Ning for over ten years, Lu Jiazi thought he knew Gu Ning very well. Although he seemed stubborn and determined, almost everyone who knew Gu Ning knew that Gu Ning was an extremely principled person and hated people being late. But he was different, he had always meant something different to Gu Ning since he was a child, and Lu Jiazi knew it very well and was confident of it at the same time. But this time, Lu Jiazi felt that something was wrong. Instead of frowning and pretending to be unhappy, or complaining a few times and then happily coming to take his hand, Gu Ning stood there quietly, as if he was meeting him for the first time, and looked at him very seriously and quietly.
This kind of sizing up of a stranger like this suddenly gave Lu Jiazi a bad feeling in his heart.
Just as he was about to frown and show his displeasure, he heard such words come out of Gu Ning's mouth.
There was a gust of wind blowing by when he heard it, causing him to not hear it very well, perhaps he had heard it wrong? Otherwise, how could Gu Ning have uttered such a phrase?
She said, "I don't like you anymore."
For many years in the past, Gu Ning had never concealed her fondness for Lu Jiazi, to the extent that she had already made her first confession to him when she was sixteen, even though her confession was politely rejected by Lu Jiazi at the time on the grounds that children could not fall in love early. After that, Gu Ning never said she liked it again, but Lu Jiazi always knew that Gu Ning had always liked him. She also said that she didn't like him anymore. After he had his first girlfriend at university, he was walking hand in hand at school when Gu Ning came to see him, after which Gu Ning called him crying and told him that she didn't like him anymore. But he knew that she still liked him. She had made such a declaration of dislike twice in total, both times after she knew he had a girlfriend.
But this time, it seemed different.
He didn't have a girlfriend now, yet Gu Ning said she didn't like him anymore.
Such a calm, cold, sensible Gu Ning, he had never seen her like this before ... Lu Jiazi suddenly felt that this face that had been constantly barging into his line of sight for the past ten years or so had suddenly become somewhat unfamiliar.
