Chapter 530
The Surrogate Bride Of The Colonel He
âThank you. Thank you for staying and helping us.â
Leo suddenly burst into tears. His tears streamed down as he wiped them. He looked pitiful, but Xu Yangyi didnât despise him.
âYou are embarrassing me. Quit crying.â
Xu Yangyi knew why Leo cried, but Xu Yangyi didnât do this to make people grateful to him.
âI wonât forget your great kindness for the rest of my life.â Leo kept crying.
âCome on. I know. But donât remember me for the rest of your life. Itâs creepy.â
Xu Yangyi joked with Leo. He looked at He Jingyan with a frown. âMy identityâ¦Â What is my identity?â
He didnât believe that he had special identity, but He Jingyanâs anger made him suspicious.
âKastra is at his witâs end and he makes things up. What special identity can you have? Ah, there is one, my wife.â
He Jingyan knew Xu Yangyi would ask him, so he had prepared for it and replied calmly.
âWho is your wife? I have a name. Iâm Xu Yangyi.â
âDonât try to fool me. Will you get so angry if he makes up lies?â Xu Yangyi was annoyed.
He didnât get distracted away from the topic by He Jingyan.
âIf you donât believe me, you can ask Leo. He works for Kastra, and he knows about it.â He Jingyan pointed at Leo.
âLeo?â Xu Yangyi sized Leo up. âKastra canât possibly tell a small potato like Leo about such things.â
âIs he trying to change the topic again? There must be something wrong.â
âHe is not a small potato.â He Jingyan turned to Leo and said, âTell my wife your military rank.â
Leo stared at them for a while before he replied in confusion, âIâm a first lieutenant.â
âA First Lieutenant? him? No wonder Country C is beaten up.â
Xu Yangyi was straightforward, not caring about how Leo felt.
His words dealt a blow to Leo, who was going to cry again.
âStop crying. Itâs annoying. Are you made of water?â
Xu Yangyi shouted at Leo impatiently.
Leo dried his eyes and said, âNo, my country is near the desert.â
âYouâ¦â
It was the first time that Xu Yangyi had been baffled by someone.
âForget it. I donât want to know about this. You wonât tell me about it anyway, so I donât want to figure it out. Find a place for me to take a rest. Iâm almost burnt to death. We are in the middle of nowhere. There is not even a tree to provide a shade.â
Xu Yangyi complained as he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his red arm.
âIâm sorry, thereâs nothing in my country. There are only deserts,â said Leo in a sobbing voice.
Xu Yangyi suddenly had an urge to punch Leo to silence him.
âI feel exhausted talking to you.â Xu Yangyi felt thirsty.
âHe Jingyan, carry me on your back. My feet are sore, and my throat is dry.â The heat was so intense that he got impatient.
He Jingyan felt tired too, but he stooped down and carried Xu Yangyi on his back as he was told. He took off his jacket and covered Xu Yangyi to block the scorching sun.
âI feel alive now.â
Xu Yangyi felt much better when he didnât have to walk and had a jacket to shield him from the sun.
He lay on He Jingyanâs back and hugged his neck tightly.
âWeâll be there very soon. Hold on.â
Leo was panting and sweating. Country C was near the desert, and the temperature in the daytime could reach 110° Fahrenheit.
Yan Chengyu found it difficult to trek in the desert. After all, Country H was a country with a moderate climate.
