Xu Chenyu was awakened by a burst of urgent doorbell ringing. He pulled down the quilt with difficulty, pried open his sore and swollen eyes, sat up from the bed with exhaustion, then got out of bed and went to open the door barefoot.
"Who is it? Disturbing my sweet sleep so early in the morning?" Xu Chenyu opened the door angrily. It was obvious that his bad mood when waking up had not improved much even after joining the army.
"Open the door, why are you so slow?" Gu Junlin had a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out smoke, looking nonchalant, definitely comparable to a young and dangerous gangster. He pushed the door open without saying anything and walked straight in as if no one was around.
Xu Chenyu stood at the door, his brain still not fully awake, and he didn't react for a while.
Gu Junlin walked to the sofa and opened the refrigerator. When he saw the empty refrigerator, he couldn't help but complain, "Dude, your house was ransacked. It's so clean. Do you have anything to drink?"
Xu Chenyu finally woke up from his dream and asked with a sullen face, "How did you know I was back, and how did you know I lived here?"
He came back from a mission at 2 a.m. yesterday, and Gu Junlin came running over early in the morning, which really surprised him.
Gu Junlin said: "The madman told me."
Xu Chenyu returned to the capital. The military training had just ended and everyone hadn't had time to get together, but he accepted a mission and left. How could his friends not know why
Although no one said anything in their hearts, everyone was worried about Xu Chenyu.
So, recently everyone has been paying attention to the news about Xu Chenyu. Han Mofeng also learned from the Xu family that Xu Er had returned and was living here. Now that Han Mofeng has joined the army, he doesn't often have time to come out, so he urged him out of bed early in the morning and asked him to come and see Xu Chenyu.
Since it concerns Xu Chenyu, he naturally has no choice but to do his job.
Xu Chenyu didn't say anything else. He sat on the sofa and rubbed his aching head: "Then you must also know that I didn't get home until after 2 a.m. last night. You disturbed my sleep so early in the morning. Is this what a buddy does?"
Gu Junlin shamelessly admitted: "No... But I'm afraid that if I'm a step late, you will get the news and disappear without a trace again."
Xu Chenyu was speechless for a moment. He did plan to take on another task.
Gu Junlin looked at him and knew that he had guessed right: "Aren't you going to tell Xinya about your mission? Every time you go on a mission, Xinya is worried and always asks us for information about you. You said... you were carrying out a confidential mission for the military, so how would we know? She is such a smart person, she wouldn't not even know this!"
While Gu Junlin was chattering incessantly, he was carefully observing Xu Chenyu's expression. He was really afraid that he would get angry because he mentioned Xinya.
Xu Er is a stubborn guy. When he gets angry, he is as stubborn as a bull. If he gets angry, most people can't stand it.
Speaking of Wen Xinya, Xu Chenyu felt even more headache, and his temper became a little irritable: "I say, you have been hanging out with women too much recently, why do you smell like powder, and talk like a woman, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush to test me like this."
After more than 20 days of mission, Xu Chenyu's heart has almost calmed down. He is an excellent soldier and possesses all the excellent qualities of a soldier. Whether it is physical or psychological quality, he can stand the test.
When he first learned that Wen Xinya already had a man she loved, he was indeed shocked and even felt pain and despair for a time. He even vented this pain and despair on Xinya. However, after a period of calmness and precipitation, he was able to suppress his inner emotions and was no longer affected or controlled by them.
Gu Junlin's face turned green when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Others may not know me, but you don't know that I'm thinking about Tianyu in my heart, and other women are not worth my attention. I... am still a virgin, so you can't make such jokes casually, especially in front of Tianyu. If she finds out, I'll jump into the Huangpu River."
Now, at least there has been some progress between him and Tianyu, so they must not allow any unnecessary complications to arise.
Recently, except for gatherings with friends and dates with Tianyu, he tries not to go out at night if possible. Even if he goes out, he has to report to Tianyu. He hasn't been to bars and nightclubs for a long time.
Xu Chenyu burst into laughter, and his expression became more relaxed: "Look at you, such a useless little guy."
He naturally knew that there had been some progress between Gu Junlin and Zhou Tianyu, and he was genuinely happy for his brother.
Seeing that his expression was not as ugly as before, Gu Junlin carefully considered his words and said, "Xinya..."
Xu Chenyu was completely annoyed and said impatiently: "I do know that Xinya has someone she likes. We have known each other for so many years. How could I not know what you are thinking!"
I am so cautious simply because I don't want to make him sad. But the time to be sad has already passed, let alone now.
Gu Junlin saw that his face was indeed a little sad, but not as serious as they thought: "Everyone knows how you feel about Xinya, so everyone is worried about you. Are you okay?"
Xu Chenyu suddenly became silent, and after a while he suddenly asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Gu Junlin quickly said, “Yes!”
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and lit it for him.
Xu Chenyu took a deep puff and smoked up one third of the cigarette in one go. Perhaps because his friend didn't smoke, the strong smoke choked his throat. Xu Chenyu held the cigarette in one hand and started coughing violently.
Gu Junlin was speechless for a moment.
"Cough, cough, cough—" Xu Chenyu coughed so hard that tears came out. His eyes were red with fear. After a long while, he barely stopped coughing. He said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Honestly, Junlin, if I say it's okay, even I don't believe it. When I saw her being embraced by another man, I just felt like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. I almost went crazy during that period of time."
Even he didn't know what he had done to Xinya. The resentment and resentment in his heart almost made him lose his mind, but so what? Wen Xinya was still someone else's.
It's not like he had never thought about not letting go and snatching Xinya away from him, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. In the end, such a relationship would only end in a lose-lose situation, and Xinya would be the one who suffered the most.
He had already hurt her and didn't want to torture her any further.
Gu Junlin didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to him expressing his feelings for Xinya.
