Chapter 44: Brother’s Call (2)
“Qingjiu?”
The cheerful voice on the other end of the call was still as sunny and bright as Gu Qingjiu could remember.
Indeed, the moment she heard Gu Qingmo’s voice, Gu Qingjiu instantly felt her eyes tear up.
She was already controlling herself a lot right now, but why was she still like this?
Gu Qingjiu instantly forced her overwhelming emotions back and wiped her eyes. She recollected herself and replied, “Yes, Brother. I’m listening.”
“Why do you sound a little weird today?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if Gu Qingjiu hid it rather well, Gu Qingmo still noticed that something was wrong.
As bright and sunny Gu Qingmo looked, he had inherited his considerate behavior from his father. Even Gu Qingjiu could not be compared.
Knowing Gu Qingmo’s character, Gu Qingjiu instantly changed her voice back to the cold and slightly dazed one. “Ah, Brother, it’s nothing. I just woke up.”
She remembered that Gu Qingmo should still be in school and have yet to return home, so her parents probably hadn’t told him that she had already enlisted. Because if he did, he wouldn’t speak to her in such a calm tone anymore.
“Oh... Since you don’t have to go to school during the weekend, what are you doing now?”
Although Gu Qingmo had a good relation with Gu Qingjiu, there was still a slight awkwardness that existed between the siblings. An example was Gu Qingmo asking Gu Qingjiu about the small and pointless things every time he called and Gu Qingjiu would answer them one by one.
Another was her telling him that she was washing clothes right now. That wasn’t considered a lie to Gu Qingmo.
However, she didn’t say where she was washing them.
Gu Qingmo didn’t ask any further, as he seemed to be oddly excited today. “Hey, Qingjiu, let me tell you a secret. You have to help. Keep this from Mom and Dad for now, and don’t tell them about it too soon.”
Gu Qingjiu answered obediently, “Alright!”
“I found a girlfriend that I really like. I plan to bring her home with me to visit Dad and Mom during the summer holidays.” historical
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
This matter made Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment.
She remembered Gu Qingmo telling her the exact same thing in her previous life. However, when the summer holidays came, she had already been taken away by the Yu family.
That was why Gu Qingjiu knew nothing about who this girlfriend was and what ultimately happened between Gu Qingmo and this girlfriend of his.
She hid the news properly for Gu Qingmo, but also ended up losing the chance of finding out what happened afterward.
“Qingjiu?”
“Got it, Brother! I’ll hide it from them for you! However, if you’re in a relationship, you have to be careful and not let yourself be hurt by bad people!”

“What are you talking about? Did you get poisoned with those television dramas? You’ve started to lecture me at this age. But then again, if you fall in love at a young age, I’ll hide it for you too. You don’t have to worry since I’m not like those conservative people. But you have to be careful too. That boy should not even touch your finger, because if he did I’ll break his legs!”
Gu Qingjiu’s slightly unexpected words made Gu Qingmo think that Gu Qingjiu had fallen in love as well. Hearing her brother’s words, Gu Qingjiu felt helpless but warm at the same time. She said seriously, “Brother, I won’t fall in love too early.”
“That’s true. There’s probably no one wooing you, right?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
All the warmth dissipated at that moment.
At that period, their parents would still send Gu Qingmo some of Gu Qingjiu’s photos, so Gu Qingmo knew how Gu Qingjiu looked like. He thought that Gu Qingjiu still looked the same and naturally thought that his sister wouldn’t attract that kind of attention in school.
However, Gu Qingjiu still felt a stab to her heart.
“Hahaha. I’m just joking. My sister is as pretty as a flower. How can there be no one wooing you? Qingjiu, I hope you don’t mind the joke. I’ll be home in a few days and I’ll bring you a lot of delicious foods!”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu hummed in response and hung up the call.
