The few days before school reopened always passed more leisurely. There was no pressure from studies and only the dark clouds of the military training hung on the heads of the freshmen, causing the pampered and frail freshmen to lament.
Some people were afraid that the hot weather would tan their tender skins after a month of military training, some people were afraid of the hardship and fatigue, and some of them complained that a month of enclosed life was totally boring.
And although Wen Xinya was originally rather calm about the military training, she couldnât help but be affected by the atmosphere and started being resentful.
The room was in a heated conversation.
Zhou Tianyu asked, âQingxuan, didnât you previously say that Xu-er was coming back soon? Why donât we have news yet?â
The situation at the Western district had been unsettling and everyone hoped that Xu-er could come back.
Ling Qingxuan pointed at Gu Junling and giggled. âYou remembered wrongly. This wasnât said by me but Little Eunuch Gu. Little Gu knows more than me, you can ask him if you want!â
They were all buddies, how could Gu Junling know more than himâhis words were merely to create an opportunity for his buddy to perform. After all⦠it hadnât been easy for his buddy to make it this far, for the two of them to finally have something going on, so the rest of them had to nudge them.
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan couldnât help but laugh secretly. Ling Qingxuan was so cunning.
Ever since Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu affirmed the open secret between them, although Zhou Tianyu usually appeared rather open, when it came to relationships, she was as awkward as a childâputting up a false front, evading the topic, and even avoiding to speak to Gu Junling during normal gatherings.
Actually, Zhou Tianyu couldnât be blamed either. Anyone would feel weird to suddenly discover that her good friend of more than a decade had ulterior thoughts about herself and to suddenly become lovers with him. It was all Gu Junlingâs fault. Of course⦠this was also due to the fact the Zhou Tianyu had never had a relationship from young and was clueless. Thus, Gu Junling still needed to work on it.
Fortunately, after more than a decade of persistence, Gu Junling had laid down a strong foundation for himself. And although Zhou Tianyu was clueless, she wasnât unfeeling.
Zhou Tianyuâs ear reddened. âWho are you kiddingâI obviously heard you talking about it the other time.â
Her gaze couldnât help but shift onto Gu Junling instinctively. When it interacted with his scorching gaze, she retracted her gaze as if she got scalded, and couldnât help but feel her face redden and heart hasten.
Ling Qingxuan didnât notice her expression and said pretentiously, âOh yes? I donât quite remember.â
So, you still got to ask Little Eunuch Gu.
Zhou Tianyu couldnât help but fume. âForgetfulness is a symptom of an illnessâyou gotta treat it!â
âHahahahaâ¦â Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan really couldnât hold it in any longer and burst out laughing helplessly.
Gu Junling saw that she was angry and hurriedly consoled her. âHe recently just went to the hospital and we arenât sure if he was seeking treatment. No point being upset with him.â
âDamn! Can we still be friends!â Ling Qingxuan almost wanted to point a finger at Gu Junlingâs nose and curse and swear at him for valuing girls over brotherhood. Who was he doing this for, attracting trouble to himself and in the end⦠his brother betrayed him without blinking his eyes.
Wen Xinya laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. âLittle Eunuch Gu, youâre not being nice!â
Xu Tongxuan was also tearing from laughing. âYouâre having a whale of a time betraying your brother!â
Du Ruo puffed her cheeks as if she was infuriated. âYouâre so smitten with your babe that youâve forgotten about your friends!â
Even Zhou Tianyu also couldnât help but start laughing with an inevitable tinge of pride in her eyes.
Over the years, under the limitless bombarding of his friends, Gu Junling had already long attained immunity. His skin was as thick as the Great Wall of China and wouldnât care about how the masses viewed him. He sat down beside Zhou Tianyu and said, âXu-er seems really busy recently and hasnât been contacting us. However, it seems like he may be back soon.â
Howeverâ¦
Gu Junling stole a hazy look at Wen Xinya.
Regarding Si Yiyan, everyone had unanimously agreed to keep it from Xu-er. When he came back, there would be no concealing the truth, and who knew what would happen then.
Zhou Tianyuâs ears were reddened as she acknowledged with a plain âHmmâ while her eyes twinkled and wandered everywhere but Gu Junlingâs eyes.
Gu Junling knew that she was awkward and couldnât bear to force her, either. With the intention of breaking the awkward atmosphere, he raised his wine glass and said loudly, âHere here here, thereâs no fun in merely chatting. Drink up, drink up!â
Wen Xinya was the first to join in.
Zhou Tianyu was waiting for the opportunity to come back stronger and she immediately said sarcastically, âPsht, who wants to drink with you! Youâre always the loudest but drinks the least, how unsatisfying.â
In the recent gatherings, Xinya had been drinking the least. Previously, they had thought that she didnât wish to drink. However, they eventually found out that it was the one at home who didnât allow her to drink more.
Xu Tongxuan continued, âExactly. Youâre not even married and youâre already totally subdued by the man. Do you dare to drink five glasses for us to see?â
Wen Xinya hurriedly raised her hands in defeat. âI donât, you guys do!â
Ever since she got drunk the previous time, turned childish, did all sorts of ridiculous things, and made Si Yiyan angry, now Wen Xinya was already holding back her liquor, not daring to drink more, much less become drunk.
Normally, Si Yiyan was willing to let her have her way all the time. However, once he was angered, although he didnât throw his temper, he became exceptionally scary, making her fearful for no apparent reason.
How could she still dare to get drunk?
Ling Qingxuan couldnât help but laugh. âPsht! Youâve only got this much guts. He doesnât allow you to drink and you really darenât drink.â
Du Ruo raised her hand and said meekly, âI canât be the only one who feels that alcohol is bad for health and itâs better to drink less?â
Everyone said, âYou donât even drink, please shut up. Be good~â
The cannons instantly shifted onto her. Under the immense pressure, Wen Xinya raised her hands in defeat.
Zhou Tianyu looked at Wen Xinya scornfully. âLook at how useless you lookâyou arenât even married yet and youâre already totally subdued by a man. Surely youâre better than this!â
Xu Tongxuan said, âExactly. Youâre too useless. Whereâs your usual guts? Swallowed by dogs? Good men are all trained to be so through oppression. Youâve gotta revive the wifeâs female powers.â
Gu Junling said, âOh, Xinya, youâre so useless that itâs hard on us to be on your side. If you really get bullied in the future, how can we stand up for you!â
Ling Qingxuan said, âIn a relationship, one party will definitely prevail over the other. By being useless and subdued like this, youâre in a weakened state in the romantic relationship and will easily be bullied.â
Du Ruo shut her mouth tightly as she gave Wen Xinya a helpless look.
Wen Xinya was extremely indignant and started nagging like a resentful woman. âIâm useless, Iâm useless, Iâm uselessâ¦â
Hey, was she really so useless?
Wen Xinya recalled Si Yiyanâs majestic and threatening gaze and couldnât help but shiverâit seemed like she was really useless!
