“Xu-er, are you really going to join the army?” Han Mofeng finally found the chance to ask him.

“It must have been Wen Xinya who told you all.” Xu Zhenyu held the fragrant, sweet wine. With his slender arms, he gently swirled the wine. These grape wines tasted sweet; thus, it is impossible for anyone to get drunk on them. It is the most suitable for these youngsters to drink. It was Gu Junling’s winery that handcrafted these. He saw that Wen Xinya was particularly fond of it so he would ask Gu Junling to gift her some later.

“Wow, Xu-er. This is a huge matter, but you didn’t even discuss it with us. If it weren’t for Wen Xinya mentioning it, we would still be in the dark. You should not be so biased to put love before friends.h.i.+p.” Ling Qingxuan heard his tone, and it sounded like he was for real. She could not help but tease him.

Xu Zhenyu indifferently said, “It isn’t really such a big deal. My family is from a military background, but my father and my brother entered politics. There should be someone to continue the family’s tradition. Me taking the military route has long been decided.”

Han Mofeng gave him a complex look. “Haven’t you always rejected the military? You even quarreled many times with Grandpa Xu over this matter.”

Ever since Wen Xinya’s scandal, Xu-er had matured a lot. The things he said and the things he did were efficient and unscrupulous. There was no hint of the boy who was filled with laughter and anger. Who knew a person could actually undergo such drastic changes in such a short time? If he did not still have Xu-er’s looks, there was no way of telling that this person was indeed Xu-er.

Actually, Han Mofeng’s guess was pretty accurate. Xu Zhenyu’s drastic change was mainly due to the dream that he had. The dream was extremely realistic, portraying his life vividly and in great detail.

“One’s thinking changes constantly. I wasn’t sure when it started, but I was left behind. Slowly, all of you started getting busy, and I no longer have any similar conversation topic to discuss with you guys. I just took it that all of you have changed. But since the incident with Wen Xinya, I finally understood that actually, you guys have not changed at all. It was me who was never on the same level as you from the very start.”

Han Mofeng felt his throat dry up. “Entering the army is good too. I’ll let you be the political commissar in the future.”

Ling Qingxuan patted him lightly on the shoulders and smiled. “My grandfather just retired from the government, so my family currently does not have anyone who can be elected. In the future, when I have taken over the family business, it would be convenient to have someone in the military!”

At this moment, Gu Junling sauntered over. He looked at their weird expressions. “Has something happened? Why do all of you have such odd look on your faces?”

Han Mofeng said, “It’s nothing. Xu-er has decided to enter the military soon, so we’re simply happy for him.”

Gu Junling was shocked as well and was about to ask for more details. However, after seeing that Han Mofeng and Ling Qingxuan were truly happy for him, he slapped Xu Zhenyu on the shoulder and said, “Xu-er, you finally thought it through! I was still worried that you were really going to smoke your way through your entire life.”

Xu Zhenyu could not help but kick him. “Who smoked through his life? Why aren’t you at Tianyu’s side being her protector but here with us?”

Gu Junling finally remembered what he was there for. “Previously, the waiter accidentally ruined Xinya’s clothing, then brought Xinya to the second level cloakroom to change. It seemed like they left for a while. Tianyu and I are too busy to leave, so we hope you can go and check on her.”

Xu Zhenyu’s gaze swept the venue once, and noticing that Xia Ruya and Wen Yuya were not around either, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. “I’ll go and take a look now.”

Xu Zhenyu placed his wine cup on a waiter’s tray and rushed across the ballroom to the second level.

Reaching the cloakroom, Xu Zhenyu knocked on the door. “Wen Xinya, have you changed?”

There was no movement in the room.
