Chapter 1152 - Xu-er’s Feelings of Distraught (1/2)

Life in the base camp was boring and mundane, and time would crawl by if Wen Xinya didn’t take part in the training. Hence, she had been spending her days in boredom while her peers were out training hard.

She felt like she had become the odd one out in the military training program and often felt ostracized when her peers stared at her peculiarly during mealtimes at the canteen.

Since everyone was busy training hard, she found it inappropriate to show up in front of them. Hence, she decided to keep a low profile and spent most of her days inside the dorm. Sometimes, she would even request Ye Feiyu to bring her meals.

Of course, those were just minor issues.

Most importantly, Xu Zhenyu had been behaving strangely for the past two days.

Although Xu Zhenyu did not mention about her medical leave when he visited her, he had a sullen expression on his face and treated her with a harsh and hostile attitude too. He would simply ask her a few questions coldly before leaving. It had been a few days since she last saw him, and she reckoned that he must have been upset because Si Yiyan applied for medical leave straight from the senior officer without seeking Xu Zhenyu’s permission.

She felt that Si Yiyan had gone overboard with that.

Xu Zhenyu had just returned to Capital city and hence, did not have a stable position in the base camp yet. Given how close she was to Xu Zhenyu, she felt that there was no need to make things difficult for him and embarrass him just because of the medical leave.

Wen Xinya took the opportunity to look for Xu Zhenyu at his office during lunch break.

She could hear Xu Zhenyu yelling from a distance away. “A bunch of sissies. I’ve only increased the intensity of the training by a little and you’re already yelling and complaining like it’s the end of the world. Do you really take yourselves to be those pampered students? You’re so weak and incompetent. Yet, you still have the cheek to think about going on the battlefield to defend our nation. You people were still being breastfed when I was slogging away in Northwest Military Base Camp.”

Wen Xinya shuddered after hearing Xu Zhenyu’s voice, which was too daunting and terrifying to her. She finally understood… how gentle Xu Zhenyu was to the freshmen, compared to the way he treated his soldiers.

Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment and contemplated if she should go look for Xu Zhenyu.

At this moment, Xiao Huang exited the office with a look of dejection. Upon sight of Wen Xinya, he quickly rushed forward as if he had seen his life savior. “Xinya, are you here to see Commander Xu?”

Xiao Huang had been working for Xu Zhenyu ever since they were in the Northwest Military Base Camp and even requested to be transferred to Capital city together with Xu Zhenyu.

Wen Xinya took a glance at Xu Zhenyu’s office hesitantly. “Xu-er… I mean, Commander Xu, he… he…”

He looked rather daunting whenever he threw tantrums.

Xiao Huang scratched his head and said softly, “Hehe! Commander is fine, he just looks scary.”

Everyone in Northwest Military base camp knew that Xu Zhenyu had a crush on Wen Xinya. As Xu Zhenyu’s closest confidante, Xiao Huang was definitely well aware of it. He also knew that Xu Zhenyu had requested to be in charge of the Capital University military training program all because of Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya asked softly, “He… did anyone provoke him? Is he really alright? He seems infuriated.”

Be it in the previous lifetime or the present, Wen Xinya had never seen him throwing such a huge tantrum before. It was as if he were a beast that had lost its rationality.

At the end, he sounded like he was yelling at the top of his lungs.

He did not seem to be throwing a normal tantrum. In fact, he seemed like he was venting all of his pent up anger. Hence, she was rather worried.

Xiao Huang scratched his head again and answered, “He should be fine! Boss has just returned to Capital city and hence, he doesn’t have a stable position yet. He has to train the students while tending to the training of the soldiers. It’s rather stressful for him.”

Wen Xinya asked, “Did he use to always throw such tantrums?”

Most of the time, one would be angst, frustrated and unable to control his emotions because of weak kidney and spleen functions. If that were the case for Xu Zhenyu, she had to find a way to help nourish him.
