Chapter 1140 - Stay Away from Xu Zhenyu (1/2)

It was no secret that Wen Xinya and Xu Zhenyu were close to each other. When she first returned to the Wen Family, she was embroiled in a scandal with Xu Zhenyu. Later on, Xu Zhenyu showed up to her coming-of-age ceremony out of the blue. His new image, which was worlds apart from his previous one, took everyone by storm even though they knew that he had become a military major. After all, they did not expect to see him at the coming-of-age ceremony because he was based in the Northwest region.

Although Wen Xinya did not intentionally hide the fact that she was close to Xu Zhenyu, she felt that she ought to keep a distance from him when they were at the camp since he was the commander in charge and she was a freshman going through the military training program. After a quick chat with Xu Zhenyu, she returned to her dorm.

Each dorm could fit at least 20 people. Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu both chose to take the top layer of the bunk bed.

As soon as they entered the dorm, they heard the girls gathering together and swooning over Xu Zhenyu.

“Hey, did you guys know? That Major who took us on a tour around the camp is Xu Zhenyu, the second son of the Xu family. I heard that he just got transferred back to Capital city.”

“Oh my god, I didn’t think he’d be this handsome!”

Wen Xinya could not help but take her hat’s off to them. Within just a short period of time, the girls managed to find out about Xu Zhenyu’s background, despite being in an unfamiliar place. Women were indeed not to be belittled.

“I remember that Xu Zhenyu is rather close to Wen Xinya. He was the one in charge of rescuing Wen Xinya when she got kidnapped. I heard that the abductors were ruthless and terrifying. Yet, Xu Zhenyu managed to rescue Wen Xinya in one piece. Oh dear… he’s really impressive!”

Wen Xinya pursed her lips and thought to herself, Si Yiyan was the one who rescued me, okay? Besides… I wasn’t completely unscathed. I suffered a concussion. These girls are helpless. They selectively choose to forget some details.

“Ah… Wen Xinya has returned. She used to be so close to Major Xu. She definitely knows a lot about him,” one of the girls said in shock.

“Ah, Xinya, you’re back…”

Wen Xinya stared at the looks of eagerness on everyone’s faces, after which she swallowed her saliva. Just as she was pondering about whether she should talk to them or not, her mobile phone began to ring.

As happy as a lark, Wen Xinya scurried towards the bunk bed and climbed up the stairs to grab her mobile phone which was sitting on her bed. She chuckled and said, “I’ll go answer a call first.”

Wen Xinya then scurried out of the dorm with her mobile phone.

Si Yiyan was the one who called. “Are you done yet?”

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “Yes, I just returned to the dorm.”

She was just about to grab her phone to give Si Yiyan a call. Yet, he beat her to it and called her first. Seems like we’re telepathic! Wen Xinya thought to herself merrily.

Sensing the joy in her tone, Si Yiyan smile and asked, “How’s the environment at the training camp? It’s your first day there. Are you getting used to it?”

Although Wen Xinya had been through hardship, she had been living a sheltered and pampered life for the past three years and she was rather delicate too. Although Si Yiyan did not oppose to the idea of her joining the military training, he was still worried that she might suffer hardship.

Wen Xinya continued to rattle on and on about the environment of the base camp. First, she complained about the poor environment, followed by the food served at the canteen, then the lack of washrooms and having to share a public bathroom. At last, she complained about Xu Zhenyu. “That jerk Xu Zhenyu actually returned since a long time ago. Not only did he keep it from me, he even mysteriously showed up at our training ground.”

Wen Xinya did not sound like she was complaining and instead seemed to be playing cute.

However, Si Yiyan immediately felt a sense of threat which gave him goosebumps when he heard Xu Zhenyu’s name. “Xu Zhenyu is your commander?”

He repeated his question.

Wen Xinya answered with pouted lips, “Yeah, you have no idea how shocked I was when I saw him at the auditorium this morning.”

Wen Xinya knew that Si Yiyan saw Xu Zhenyu as his rival, though she was not bothered by it at all. She felt that she was doing enough by being honest with Si Yiyan as well as her feelings for him.
