Chapter 143: I Could Die of Happiness
Chen Zirui kept pressing for details on how they met. Gu Huaiye, having no way to deal with his pestering, made something up.
His fate with Xie Miaohan technically started after university began, but few would believe that.
He had also participated in Xie Miaohan’s childhood, but only through time travel. That matter was simply too bizarre; if he said it out loud, people would probably take him for a mental patient.
But it didn’t matter. Those memories belonging to him and Xie Miaohan were enough as long as the two of them possessed them.
“You really hid it deep,” Chen Zirui lamented. “I’m with you almost every day, and I didn’t notice you had someone you liked at all.”
“Every time you look for me, it’s to drink. Of course you wouldn’t notice.”
“And playing games,” Chen Zirui corrected.
Gu Huaiye: “……”
That doesn’t sound very glorious either.
“Have you ever thought about going to the training grounds?” Gu Huaiye changed the subject. “I heard it’s quite easy to get in.”
“I’m not joining the military, so why go there?”
This was different from the second life.
He remembered that back then, he had acted very motivated, which sparked Chen Zirui’s fighting spirit, leading Chen Zirui to stumble into the military by accident.
The battlefield was dangerous, but Chen Zirui’s height didn’t meet the standards, so he was screened out not long after going.
So Gu Huaiye wasn’t afraid of Chen Zirui joining the military; he would be eliminated sooner or later anyway. Plus, life there was more comfortable than in the Chen family, and he could get familiar with Xiang Wanxing.
Gu Huaiye wasn’t sure exactly when those two got together.
It seemed that after he was taken to District B by Xie Miaohan, Chen Zirui also followed to District B, and got together with Xiang Wanxing after that.
He couldn’t possibly let Xie Miaohan join the military again, so they currently didn’t have the qualifications to settle in District B.
Thinking about it carefully, he could only incite Chen Zirui to join the military.
“Don’t you want to make a name for yourself after joining the army? If you can mix into the District B circle, your dad will have to kneel down and call you ‘Daddy’.”
Chen Zirui’s pupils contracted, and he looked at Gu Huaiye in surprise.
“How do you know my childhood dream?”
Gu Huaiye: “……”
He knew from the previous two lives.
He just hadn’t expected Chen Zirui to have had this thought since childhood.
But Father Chen really deserved it.
If not for the sake of the Chen brothers, he would have wanted to completely crush Father Chen in his past life, making sure he could never rise again.
“Don’t worry about how I know. Just say if you want to or not.”
Chen Zirui looked conflicted. After a moment, he shook his head.
“Forget it. I don’t want to go to District B. Without you and Xialin there, I’d definitely die of loneliness.”
“It’s not that exaggerated. You can find an Omega there; then you’ll have someone to keep you company,” Gu Huaiye hinted.
Chen Zirui laughed and quickly waved his hand.
“Come on. Which Omega would be willing to be with me?” Chen Zirui said, “You know how many blind dates my dad arranged for me. I messed them all up.”
“That’s because your destiny doesn’t lie with them.”
Chen Zirui sensed something was off and frowned.
“Brother Gu, you’re not just trying to set me up with someone quickly because you’re no longer single and want to get rid of your alcoholic friend, are you?”
Gu Huaiye was almost angered to death by this remark and slapped Chen Zirui’s arm hard.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How long have we known each other? How could I abandon a friend just because I’m in a relationship?”
Realizing he was being paranoid, Chen Zirui immediately sighed in relief.
He actually had quite low self-esteem and always felt he wasn’t worthy of a friend as good as Gu Huaiye.
Gu Huaiye was an only child, and inheriting the Gu Group was a sure thing.
Meanwhile, he had to compete for the family inheritance with a bunch of illegitimate children. Father Chen always looked down on him, thinking he was useless mud that couldn’t be plastered onto a wall.
Several times, he had threatened to kick him out of the Chen family and let him fend for himself.
Every time he went to high-end places with Gu Huaiye, he had to be thick-skinned and let Gu Huaiye pay the bill.
He didn’t want to be like that, but he really didn’t have much money in his card.
Sometimes, Chen Zirui also worried that after Gu Huaiye inherited the company, he wouldn’t hang out with someone like him anymore.
“Brother Gu, if you want me to join the military, I’ll join.” Chen Zirui became rarely serious, his tone earnest. “I also don’t want you to think I’m a worthless friend who’s always dragging you down.”
Gu Huaiye hadn’t expected Chen Zirui to think this way. He quickly explained, “I never thought that. I just hope… Sigh, forget it. That place is pretty dangerous too. If you don’t want to go, let’s not go.”
Chen Zirui pursed his lips and didn’t answer Gu Huaiye.
Seeing this, Gu Huaiye really wanted to smack himself.
Chen Zirui always acted very carefree in front of him, speaking his mind directly, so he had never thought Chen Zirui would have an inferiority complex.
Better to find another way to set the two of them up.
“We haven’t gone out to celebrate since school started!” Gu Huaiye put his arm around Chen Zirui’s shoulder and smiled. “Let’s go out for drinks tonight.”
Chen Zirui regained his smile.
“Sure.” Chen Zirui paused, then asked, “Do you want to invite your boyfriend along?”
He could tell Gu Huaiye was serious about that person, so it was better to keep some distance.
“Sure, I’ll ask him later.”
In the afternoon, Gu Huaiye sent a message to Xie Miaohan.
Xie Miaohan was likely in class; he didn’t reply until half an hour later.
[I won’t go. You guys have fun.]
Gu Huaiye curled his lips and replied.
[Then wait for me at the hotel. I won’t drink too late; I should be back before midnight. Since I’m not there, you have to eat properly. Yesterday I specifically checked the trash can and didn’t see any takeout boxes. Did you not eat?]
[I ate. I just had the hotel staff clean it up.]
[That’s good then. Wait for me to come back tonight.]
Gu Huaiye thought for a moment, blushed, and sent Xie Miaohan a very cheesy message.
[Wife, I love you. Quick, give me a kiss, otherwise I won’t have the energy for class this afternoon.]
After sending it, Gu Huaiye felt too ashamed and turned off his phone screen.
He lay on the table, touching his burning face.
So cheesy.
Would Miaomiao be able to handle it?
Was he being too oily lately? He wouldn’t scare Miaomiao away, right?
A minute later, the phone vibrated.
Gu Huaiye nervously unlocked the screen and saw the kissing sticker sent by Xie Miaohan.
He burst out laughing and sent one back to Xie Miaohan.
Oh my god, I could die of happiness like this.
