Xu Zhenyu had been extremely busy lately and the underworld society had been activated because of the abduction carried out by the terrorists in the West Region. They had also begun smuggling all kinds of prohibited products.
By rights, he was only supposed to get to the bottom of the truth about the terrorists. Now that the case had already been resolved, it was none of his business anymore. He was representing the military from the West Region. The soldiers there were tough as nails and had always looked down on the other privileged soldiers whom they deemed to be flowers in nurseries. Hence, they had always been at odds.
Hence, it had been almost two weeks since he last contacted Wen Xinya. He did not even have the time to visit her.
 

Xu Zhenyu had no idea that he had actually been backstabbed.
The person who backstabbed him was none other than Si Yiyan.


 

Once the mission was completed, he rushed back to the city. However, as soon as he did, he was summoned by his superiors and made to go back to the West Region.
 

Xu Zhenyu fumed with anger and grimaced and gritted his teeth, feeling a strong urge to curse!
 

He finally got the chance to return to the city and yet, he had met with such an unfortunate event. It seemed like it was regarding the transfer. So, he had to seek help from his grandfather.
As soon as Xu Zhenyu returned, he headed straight to the private restaurant where he had agreed to meet Wen Xinya.
 

He stared at Wen Xinya, who was sitting with one leg crossed over the other. He immediately smiled sheepishly, extremely energized and no longer as lethargic as before.

If you continue to space out, you might just turn into a rock.
He teased like he always did.
 


Second Young Master Xu, Major Xu… did you just graduate from primary school? Please don’t bring down the entire military because of your uncultured nature.
Wen Xinya jested while staring at Xu Zhenyu whose body was still covered in bruises, looking just like a menacing king of war who possessed strong willpower! It was the first time that she had ever witnessed Xu Zhenyu behaving in such a manner.
 

She could not help but be overwhelmed by a complicated mix of emotions. She felt like he was different from what she remembered.
 

Xu Zhenyu giggled and said,
Wen Xinya, we grew up together! We’re childhood sweethearts. You should know if I stopped studying after primary school.

 

Wen Xinya placed a hand on her forehead and said,
Xu-er, how many times have I told you this? It’s alright to be uncultured, what’s terrifying is to let others know that you’re uncultured. That’s not how you use the term ‘childhood sweethearts’. We’re not childhood sweethearts. Tianyu and Tongxuan are going to beat you up if they hear you.



Xu Zhenyu was at a loss for words. He glared at Wen Xinya’s rosy lips and his ears turned hot. He had a love-hate relationship with her sharp tongue.
 

Wen Xinya placed a slice of fish in his bowl and asked,
You were gone for half a month. Did you have a task or mission to complete?

 

A sullen expression formed on Xu Zhenyu’s face and he answered,
Yes, the mission has already been completed and I have to return to Northwest Military Base Camp tomorrow.

 

A tinge of melancholy formed in his eyes.
Ever since he decided to join the military, he knew that he would never become an outstanding soldier.
Wen Xinya was the reason why he had decided to join the military and the reason why he was motivated to climb his way up through the ranks. He did not give his loyalty and selflessness to the nation and citizens. Instead, he had given it to a woman.
 


Why are you leaving so soon?
asked Wen Xinya, though she did not probe about the nature of his mission. After all, the fact that he had gone away for so long without any news meant that it must have been a top-secret mission.
 

Xu Zhenyu stared at her with his electrifying eyes which were shaped like peach flowers and asked,
Why are you so shocked? Is it that you can’t bear to let me go?

 

Although he was giggling, he was rather nervous when he said those words, and his palms even began to get sweaty while he waited for her answer.
 

Wen Xinya slapped his face away and stared at him.
Blink again and your eyes are going to cramp up.



 

Xu Zhenyu stared at her and said,
Silly lass, I knew you wouldn’t be able to say anything nice.

 

How did I not discover that she has become evil?

 

Wen Xinya snorted with laughter.
 

Xu Zhenyu changed the subject by asking,
How have your wounds been recovering? Why are you discharged so soon?

 

He had previously heard from the doctor that she had sustained a severe injury in her head and he had been concerned about her health even when he was on a mission. Hence, he gave Wen Xinya a call as soon as his mission was over. He just found out that she had gotten discharged.
 

Wen Xinya said,
My wounds healed, so I was discharged.

 

Zhou Tianyu and the rest had been chiding her for staying at the hospital even though her wounds had already healed. Unlike them, he felt that she should have been hospitalized a little longer.
 

Xu Zhenyu scrutinized her expression to see that she was glowing and radiant.
Your face looks a little bigger than before.

 

In other words, he was just calling her fat. Wen Xinya looked up at him and gritted her teeth in anger.
You’re the one who has a big face. How am I fat? Zhou Tianyu and the rest are all envious of my figure.

 

Although she said that, she had actually begun wondering if she had really gained some weight. After all, Si Yiyan had been making Mrs. Tan cook her plenty of herbal tonics and nutritious meals during her recovery period. Hence, she decided to step on the scales and measure her weight when she got home. She also thought about the possibility of her gaining weight in the long run, if she were to continue having such a nutritious diet.


Knowing that he had struck a sour note, Xu Zhenyu frantically tried to placate her feelings.
You used to be so thin like bamboo. It was as if you could be blown away by the wind. You look much better now. My Grandpa always said that chubbier girls can give birth better…

 

Wen Xinya was a premature baby and premature babies tended to be frailer than normal babies who were born at full term. Besides, she got missing right after she was born and had been put through severe suffering when she led a wandering life out on her own. It was a miracle that she could grow up safely. He had always known that she was only considered healthy because of Old Mr. Du’s efforts in helping her nurse her body back to health.

Xu-er, are you courting death…
Wen Xinya turned red in anger, not shyness. She was glowering at him, and it was obvious that she had been infuriated.
 

Xu Zhenyu stared at Wen Xinya awkwardly and said,
I… don’t mean anything else. Your family…

 

Wen Xinya’s grandmother and mother had both passed away because of difficulties during labor. Hence, he wanted her to be mindful of her health!
 

Wen Xinya stared at him and taunted.
Go ahead…

 


Xu Zhenyu hurriedly shut up and stared at Wen Xinya.
