Why
Xu Chenyu's breathing stagnated and he was unable to speak.
He is twenty-five years old this year and will be twenty-six soon. As a soldier, he has dedicated his pride, honor, life, and most of his time to the country, sacrificing his life and shedding his blood for the country.
However, in addition to being Colonel Xu Chenyu, he is also the iron-blooded heir of the Xu family. As a grandson and a son, he also has other responsibilities, and that is the inheritance of the family bloodline.
Since last year, his grandfather and mother have started arranging his marriage.
This was not the first or second time that he had been tricked into blind dates and forced to attend various private parties.
Han Mofeng said that if he wanted to forget an old relationship, he had to start a new one, so he tolerated his mother's various arrangements and met and had dinner with various women.
However, some things really cannot be forced.
If the woman sitting opposite him was not Wen Xinya, he would feel uncomfortable, irritated, and even speechless.
He even couldn't help but compare the woman opposite him with Wen Xinya, from her appearance to her personality, from her behavior to the way she spoke.
Only then did he truly realize that in his eyes and heart, there was only room for one Wen Xinya, and it had to be her. No one else could replace her, and no one could compromise or force her.
Shen requested to be sent abroad in order to avoid forced marriage and evade his responsibility as the inheritor of the Xu family's bloodline.
Xu Chenyu's mind suddenly changed, and he smiled and said jokingly, "Girl, do you suddenly feel that I am great? My image has suddenly become more noble in your heart?"
He didn't answer her question, he just didn't know how to answer it.
Wen Xinya felt a pang in her heart and interrupted him with a dry throat: "Where is the place of assignment?"
She didn’t know whether Xu Chenyu would answer her question, or rather, whether he could answer it!
Some overseas assignments are state secrets and cannot be known to the public. Xu Chenyu came to see her today and even used dice as a gamble, which showed that this was definitely not an ordinary overseas assignment.
The limit he could tell her was the news about the assignment.
But she still wanted to ask.
Only after asking did she have a clear idea in her mind.
Xu Chenyu was silent for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and laughed: "Don't worry! This is not the first time that I have accepted overseas missions..."
The reason why his military merit increased so quickly was because he often took on overseas missions.
Wen Xinya interrupted him impatiently: "Can't you tell me?"
The more this happened, the more worried and anxious Wen Xinya became. She knew that as a soldier, Xu Chenyu had his own mission, and she could not and would not stop him.
However, she only hopes that Xu Chenyu can live in peace for the rest of his life.
Xu Chenyu took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and whispered, "In the east!"
This was the limit of what he could say. Anything more would be considered an overseas assignment secret and could not be known by anyone else.
Wen Xinya's heart sank. The oil war in the east had never stopped. Over there, civil war, rebellion, armed incidents, terrorist activities, political stances, power struggles, and gunpowder wars were unfolding every moment.
It's a truly dangerous place.
Wen Xinya asked him, "How long will this assignment take?"
This shouldn't be a military secret!
"If everything goes well, it will take about three months." If things don't go well, three to five months is also normal.
Wen Xinya clenched her fingers tightly and remained silent.
Seeing her silent like this, Xu Chenyu panicked for a moment, and smiled as he approached Wen Xinya: "Girl, as the country's sharpest knife, if you don't sharpen it frequently, it will get rusty."
There are warm and elegant reasons for accepting an overseas assignment.
However, he was definitely not holding a grudge against this relationship. In fact, ever since Wen Xinya and Si Jiu got engaged, he had indeed let it go.
More importantly, the mission in the east is a bit tricky and many people have sacrificed their lives, even one of his comrades in the northwest battlefield. As a soldier, the knife in his hand cannot be blunt!
Wen Xinya slapped him on the face and pushed his face away: "You smell like cigarettes, it's disgusting, stay away from me."
Xu Chenyu sat aside awkwardly and said cautiously: "Girl, are you angry?"
Xu Chenyu is not afraid of heaven or earth, but he is really afraid of Wen Xinya.
He gets nervous when Wen Xinya has a stern face!
He gets nervous when Wen Xinya doesn't speak!
It is said that there is always someone who can defeat someone else. Wen Xinya was born to be Xu Chenyu's nemesis.
He, Xu Chenyu, was so arrogant, but he actually fell into the hands of this girl.
Wen Xinya kicked him on the leg: "If I say I'm angry, will you cancel your assignment?"
To be fair, she didn't want Xu Chenyu to be sent abroad at all, but she knew very well that this was simply impossible.
Xu Chenyu quickly shook his head and said, "That won't work. Military orders are like mountains. There is no room for trifling." After saying that, perhaps feeling guilty and uneasy, he moved closer to Wen Xinya in a flattering manner, "Don't be angry, girl. Apart from this, I can promise you anything."
He was really worried that Wen Xinya would be angry because of his rejection.
Although he knew that Wen Xinya was not such an unreasonable person, he just felt insecure and cowardly in front of Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya sneered: "If that's the case, why should I do something that is thankless?"
It’s not anger, but worry and heartache!
Xu Chenyu's half-hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Come on, girl, smile for me! It's so unlucky to have a stern face!"
He originally wanted to say, I'm not dead yet, but you look like a widow.
But, he also felt that it was inappropriate. No matter what, Wen Xinya would never become his wife. This statement was too ambiguous.
Wen Xinya glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense about good or bad luck."
Xu Chenyu nodded repeatedly like a little wife.
The two of them joked around and finally got the matter of being sent abroad under the spotlight. Xu Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. His back was soaked with sweat. Dealing with Wen Xinya was even more difficult than going on a mission.
Xu Chenyu stood up from the sofa and said, "Girl, the approval order for the overseas assignment will probably come down soon. I have to go back and prepare first."
Wen Xinya expressed her understanding and sent Xu Chenyu to the door. Looking at Xu Chenyu's army green figure, in the sunlight, he was tall and straight, like an unshakable mountain, indestructible and sacred, making it difficult for her to look directly at him.
She suddenly called out, "Xu Er!"
Xu Chenyu suddenly stopped and looked back at her.
Wen Xinya ran towards him, looked at him seriously and said, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
Xu Chenyu had a complicated look on his face. He suddenly took a step forward and hugged Wen Xinya, as intimately as a friend and as restrained as a lover: "Don't worry, I will come back safely."
They hugged each other and left immediately, without any drag or ambiguity.
