Life in the base was very dull and boring. If she didn't participate in training, the whole day would be very difficult to endure, especially seeing that everyone was doing military training and she was the only one doing nothing. This feeling became even more tormenting.
She felt like she had become Kong Yiji, the only person in the military camp who drank while standing in a long gown. She often went to the cafeteria to eat, and saw everyone's strange looks and occasional gossip, which always made her feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone was enduring the military training, so it was not convenient for her to appear in front of everyone. She was more low-key than before and stayed in the dormitory all day. Sometimes even Ye Feiyu brought her meals.
Of course, these are all trivial matters.
Most importantly, Xu Er has been acting a little weird these days.
Xu Er had come to see her before, and although he didn't mention asking for leave, his face looked unhappy and his attitude towards her was not very nice. He just greeted her and left. She hasn't seen him in the past few days. She thought that Si Yiyan might have bypassed him as an instructor and directly asked for leave from the base commander, which made him very unhappy.
She also felt that Si Yiyan had handled this matter well.
Xu Ercai had just returned to the capital and had not yet established herself in the base. With such a close relationship between her and Xu Chenyu, she couldn't afford to embarrass Xu Chenyu by asking for leave.
Wen Xinya took advantage of the lunch break to go to Xu Chenyu's office to find him.
Xu Chenyu's roar could be heard from afar: "You are all like women. When the training difficulty is slightly increased, you complain all the time. You really think you are the pampered new students in the base! With such low quality, you still expect to go to the battlefield and serve the country with loyalty? When I was starving in the northwest, these bastards were still suckling their mothers' milk."
Wen Xinya shrank her shoulders. Xu Chenyu's voice was too terrifying and frightened her. Only then did she realize... how gentle the cold-faced King of Hell, the iron-blooded colonel, and the devil instructor, who were called by these freshmen, were in fact towards them.
Wen Xinya hesitated, wondering whether she should look for Xu Chenyu now.
At this time, Xiao Huang came out of the office with a dusty face. When he saw Wen Xinya, he approached her warmly as if he had seen a savior: "Student Wen, are you here to see the battalion commander?"
Xiao Huang had followed Xu Chenyu when they were in the northwest. Later, Xu Chenyu was transferred to the capital, and Xiao Huang asked to go with him.
Wen Xinya looked towards Xu Chenyu's office hesitantly: "Xu Er... no, your Captain Xu, he... he..."
It looks scary when he loses his temper like this.
Xiao Huang scratched his crew cut, smiled innocently, and said in a low voice: "Hey! The battalion commander is fine, he just looks scary."
The fact that the boss likes Wen Xinya is not only known to him. In the past in the Northwest Military Camp, everyone in the camp knew something more or less. Others might not know, but as someone close to and trusted by the battalion commander, he naturally knew it. The boss also had some thoughts when he took on the military training of the Design Department of Beijing University, and his purpose was of course for this girl Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya lowered her voice and asked, "He...did someone provoke him? Is it really okay for him to lose his temper like this?"
Whether in the previous life or this life, she had never seen him lose his temper like this. He was like a wild beast that had lost his mind, with only violent and uncontrollable emotions left.
The roaring sound, at the end, was just a scream at the top of one's voice.
It didn't seem like an ordinary temper tantrum, but more like suppressed irritability out of control, and she was very worried.
Xiao Huang scratched his crew cut again and said, "It should be fine! The boss just returned to Beijing recently, and he has just gotten familiar with the base. He has to train the new students and take care of the training of the new camp at the same time. The pressure is quite high."
Wen Xinya asked, "Does he always lose his temper like this before?"
A bad temper and out-of-control emotions are often caused by malnutrition of the spleen and kidneys. If this is the case, she must find a way to help Xu Chenyu recover.
Xiao Huang thought for a moment and replied, "Not really. I've lost my temper before, but never as badly as I have these past few days."
During this period, the sky was clear almost every day. He didn't know what was going on these days, but there were thunder and lightning all day long, which was scary. He didn't think much about it, but just thought that the boss was worried about Wen Xinya's health.
"I say, what are you two whispering about outside? Are you bored..." Xu Chenyu's anger spread outside the office.
Xiao Huang quickly ran away.
Wen Xinya avoided it and had to move her feet slowly into the office.
"Aren't you feeling unwell and need to rest? Why are you running to me?" Xu Chenyu glared at Wen Xinya, his eyes a terrifying bloodshot red, like a man-eating beast.
Wen Xinya frowned and looked at Xu Chenyu: "How long has it been since you had a good rest?"
His eyes were full of red bloodshot, there were heavy dark shadows under his eyes, and his face was full of fatigue. You could tell at a glance that this was the result of not having a good rest for several days in a row. Because he did not have a good rest, his emotions became irritable and out of control, and he was easily angry.
Xu Chenyu suddenly turned his face away, not looking at her, and said in a cold voice: "Why do you care so much? You might as well take care of your own body."
He hadn't slept for three days. Whenever he thought of the hugging scene in the infirmary, he couldn't fall asleep. Actually... he should have thought of it earlier.
It's just that he has never seen it in person, so he has always been hoping for the best.
Before in the Northwest, Han Mofeng's words and deeds were full of hidden meanings. He was immersed in the joy of returning and seemed to be deaf to everything he said.
They all knew that he was the only one who was like a fool, immersed in his own world and unwilling to face reality.
They had actually been together for a long time.
No... maybe sooner than he thought.
Maybe three years ago.
When he left the capital, he had actually already lost.
He was unwilling to lose because he lost without even trying hard enough.
Lose miserably. Lose miserably.
Although his voice was cold, Wen Xinya still heard a hint of concern and said with a smile: "Xu Er, you are not worried about my health and can't sleep! Don't worry, I am fine now, you can sleep peacefully."
Xu Chenyu listened to her words. They had been getting along like this for more than three years, joking around, laughing and scolding each other. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Wen Xinya stepped forward and kicked him, saying, "Fuck, how petty are you? Aren't you angry about asking for leave before? Well, I was wrong, I apologize."
Xu Chenyu was stunned. The most infuriating thing in the world is that you are angry, losing your temper, or even in pain, but the person involved doesn't even know why you are sad and in pain.
This miserable feeling was like eating bitter herbs, so he got angry all of a sudden: "Get out, get out as far away as you can."
