Chapter 581: A little emotional sublimation is quite reasonable.

Evening, in the cafeteria.

Su Jin had just finished getting her food and choosing a seat when Gu Hongjie came to her with his tray.

"Comrade Su Jin, is this seat empty?"

The action team had their own small canteen, with only eight people in total, but there were more than a dozen tables. Gu Hongjie clearly wanted to sit here.

"Nobody's here."

Su Jin arrived at the cafeteria early today; Zheng Changqing and the others hadn't come yet.

Gu Hongjie sat down and tasted the food on his plate.

"The team's food standards are much better than those outside, and even the food tastes better than in the canteen."

Su Jin does not deny the food standards, but the taste is still similar to that of the cafeteria.

"If Instructor Gu likes it, then eat more."

Gu Hongjie smiled slightly, "We're not in a classroom now, and it's just the two of us girls here. You can call me Sister Gu in private."

Su Jin could tell, of course, that she was trying to get closer to her.

"good."

Since the other party has taken the initiative to show goodwill, she naturally doesn't need to be coy.

Because they weren't familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about, Su Jin chose to eat with her head down.

Gu Hongjie, on the contrary, kept looking at her with great interest.

"Su Jin, what is your relationship with Brigade Commander Xiao?"

This sudden remark almost choked Su Jin, who was completely unprepared.

Faced with Gu Hongjie's serious gaze, she couldn't be sure what aspect she was asking about.

"Instructor Gu, why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Why are you calling me Instructor Gu again?" Gu Hongjie wasn't surprised by her reaction at all. He then continued, "I heard from people outside that you two are a couple, but seeing you interacting in the classroom today, it doesn't seem like that."

Su Jin took a deep breath, not expecting that she would be interested in this kind of gossip.

"no."

Gu Hongjie looked surprised. "So all those rumors are false?"

Su Jin was unable to give a definite answer.

Gu Hongjie, however, chose to press on, "You don't like Xiao Yunfeng?"

This time, she directly changed how she addressed Xiao Yunfeng.

Su Jin frowned. "Instructor Gu seems to care a lot about our relationship?"

I thought Gu Hongjie would stop there, but to my surprise, she nodded and said with a very serious expression, "I like Xiao Yunfeng. If you two weren't a couple, I would be planning to pursue him."

Su Jin's breath hitched, and her expression changed.

She stared intently at Gu Hongjie, trying to discern whether what she said was true or false.

Su Jin wasn't surprised that Xiao Yunfeng liked her, but the fact that he said it so bluntly made her question it.

Gu Hongjie then solemnly added, "I dislike stealing someone else's love the most. If you also have feelings for Xiao Yunfeng, you can tell me now, and I will consider letting go of this relationship."

After she finished speaking, she was really looking forward to Su Jin's response.

"So, Instructor Gu means that whether or not to pursue Commander Xiao depends on my attitude?" Su Jin wasn't stupid, and immediately seized on her loophole.

It's almost 80% certain that Gu Hongjie was deliberately testing her.

Sure enough, Gu Hongjie's expression froze for a moment before she smiled again after two seconds. "Of course not. I've liked Xiao Yunfeng for a long time. You may not know that we've been through life and death together, and we're comrades who would entrust our lives to each other."

"Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable to take this feeling to the next level?"
