Chapter 1269: 1269
Xu Zhenyu was jolted awake by the incessant sounds of the doorbell ringing . He pulled the blanket away from his body and opened his dry and sore eyes before struggling to get up from his bed . He then got out of bed and walked barefooted towards the door .
“Who’s making a ruckus bright early in the morning?” Xu Zhenyu hollered angrily before opening the door in annoyance . Clearly, he had a bad temper in the morning and it was a habit that he did not kick despite having joined the military .
“Why are you taking so long to open the door?” Gu Junling retorted with a cigarette in his mouth . He sauntered nonchalantly like a handsome gangster . Xu Zhenyu opened the door without hesitation .
Xu Zhenyu was standing by the door, still feeling sleepy .
Gu Junling walked towards the couch and opened the refrigerator . When he saw the empty shelves, he lamented . “Brother, your house has been broken into . There’s nothing at all . Do you have something that I can drink?”
Xu Zhenyu suddenly sobered up and questioned with a sullen expression, “How did you know that I’ve returned? How did you know that I live here?”
He returned at 2 AM last night after completing a mission . Hence, he was rather shocked to see Gu Junling bright early in the morning .
Gu Junling said, “Loony was the one who told me . ”
Xu Zhenyu had just returned to Capital city and yet, he left shortly after the military training program ended without even meeting his friends . His friends obviously knew the reason .
Although they did not say much, they were all worried about Xu Zhenyu .
Hence, everyone had been paying attention to the news about Xu Zhenyu lately and Han Mofeng had also found out about Xu Zhenyu’s return from the Xu family . Now that Han Mofeng had already joined the military, he rarely had time to stay out either . Hence, he decided to visit Xu Zhenyu early in the morning .
He would be incumbent when it came to Xu Zhenyu .
Xu Zhenyu took a seat on the couch and rubbed his aching head . “In that case, you definitely know that I returned at two in the morning . Yet, you’re here so early . Are you even my buddy at all?”
The thick-skinned Gu Junling answered, “No… I was just afraid that you would leave without warning again had I been any later . ”
Xu Zhenyu was stunned speechless, for he had indeed planned to take on another mission .
Gu Junling could tell from his expression that he had made the right guess . “Don’t you plan to tell Xinya about your return? Xinya is always worried whenever you’re out on missions and she always asks about you too . So… how could she not know that we wouldn’t know about your top-secret mission?”

Gu Junling rattled on and on while observing Xu Zhenyu’s expression, for fear that he would get upset because he had mentioned Wen Xinya’s name .
Xu Zhenyu was as obstinate as a bull and he would be terrifying whenever he lost his temper .
Xu Zhenyu got a major headache and got even more frustrated after hearing about Wen Xinya . “You must have been mixing with women too often lately . Why are you giving off such a girlish vibe? You’re so wishy-washy like a sissy . Cut straight to the chase . Don’t bother beating around the bush to sound me out . ”
After being on a mission for twenty-odd days, Xu Zhenyu had already become much calmer and he exuded the remarkable qualities of a soldier .
When he first found out about Wen Xinya’s boyfriend, he was struck with a huge blow and even felt agonized and hopeless . Hence, he decided to vent his feelings on Wen Xinya . However, after calming down, he no longer felt affected by those feelings which he suppressed .
Gu Junling turned pale and frantically said, “Buddy, you can’t spout nonsense . You know me well, I’ve only ever fancied Tianyu and other women can’t attract me at all . I… am still a virgin now . Don’t joke about things like that, especially not in front of Tianyu . Otherwise, I won’t be able to clear my name . ”
He had at least been making progress with Zhou Tianyu lately and hence, could not create more trouble .

Apart from meeting his friends and going out with Zhou Yianyu, he would refrain from going out at night or patronizing bars and nightclubs .
Xu Zhenyu burst into laughter and gibed . “Look how cowardly you are . ”
He knew that there was already some progress between Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu . Thus, he felt rather happy for him .
Noticing that he no longer looked as awful as he used to, Gu Junling muttered, “Xinya…”
Xu Zhenyu was extremely annoyed . He snapped . “I actually already know that Xinya is in love with someone else . We’ve been friends for so long . I know what you’re thinking!”
Gu Junling was being so cautious, obviously because he was afraid of hurting Xu Zhenyu’s feelings . However, it was all in the past and he was done with being sad .
Gu Junling noticed the look of dejection on his face, though he did not look as upset as he had imagined . “Everyone knows how you feel about Xinya . We’re all rather worried about you . Are you alright?”
Xu Zhenyu fell silent for a while before asking, “Do you have a cigarette?”

Gu Junling quickly answered, “Yes!”
He then whipped out some cigarettes and lit one up for Xu Zhenyu .
Xu Zhenyu took a long and hard puff which depleted a quarter of the cigarette . He began coughing violently, perhaps because it had been a long time since he smoked .
Gu Junling was speechless .
Xu Zhenyu teared up while coughing and his eyes were dauntingly red . He said in a hoarse voice, “Frankly speaking, Junling, I would be lying if I said that I’m alright . When I saw her getting hugged by another man, I just felt like the world had come crashing down on me and I almost lost my mind . ”
He had no idea what he had done to Wen Xinya, and it was as if his indignant feelings took over his rationality . However, none of that mattered because Wen Xinya belonged to someone else .
He did consider persisting on and snatching Wen Xinya back . However, his pride did not allow him to do so and he knew that Wen Xinya would be the one getting hurt in the end .
He had already hurt her and hence, did not want to torment her any further .
Gu Junling remained silent and listened to him talk about Wen Xinya .
