Chapter 1301 - Xu Zhenyu Gets Promoted to Colonel (2/2)

Appearing extremely smug, Xu Zhenyu said, “I was just promoted today and the person who promoted me was a Lieutenant General. He told me that it was time for them seniors to give the young blood a chance to shine and that heroes are all young!”

Seeing at how smug he was, Wen Xinya almost threw the orange peel at his face. “Xu-er, could you not be so smug? Could you behave like a soldier and a General-to-be?”

He was just childish!

Everyone burst into boisterous laughter.

Xu Zhenyu retorted. “How am I smug, arrogant and petty? I’m telling you, I’m the hero of citizens.”

Everyone laughed again relentlessly.

Xu-er was just a fool!

Xu Zhenyu barked. “You guys, stop laughing. I’m being serious…”

Everyone laughed even more hysterically.

At last, even Xu Zhenyu began laughing together with them. “Seriously… you people are just out to criticize me. Would it hurt not to poke fun at me!?!”

After some banter, Xu-er raised her glass and said, “Here, everyone. Let’s toast to celebrate Xu-er’s promotion to becoming a colonel and a true blue tall, handsome and rich bachelor!”

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together excitedly. “Cheers!”

The liquor splashed out of the cups, just like their euphoria.

Everyone was genuinely happy for Xu Zhenyu.

Wen Xinya was no exception.

However, she could not help but feel emotional, for Xu Zhenyu had managed to transform from a spoiled brat to a disciplined Colonel within just six years. It was a drastic change.

Everyone was feeling nonchalant.

Xu Zhenyu lit up a cigarette.

Gu Junling snatched it from him and put it in his own mouth. “Haven’t you already quit smoking? Why did you start again?”

Xu Zhenyu lit up another cigarette and sucked on it. “I can’t show my masculinity if I don’t smoke or drink.”

Gu Junling laughed uncontrollably.

Wen Xinya glanced at him and quipped. “So you need cigarettes to prove that you’re masculine. You’re really something, huh?”

Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan snorted with laughter.

Xu Zhenyu raised his hands to show that he had surrendered. “Miss Wen, would you please stop criticizing me?”

He has already had his fair share of bitterness after drinking the herbal soups that Wen Xinya had prepared for him.

Ling Qingxuan laughed and mocked. “You were asking for it.”
