Chapter 159: I’m Going With You
Gu Huaiye’s eyes snapped open wide. After a long while, he put down the plate in his hand and turned to leave.
“I have to stop Chen Zirui from joining the army.”
“It’s too late.” Xie Miaohan grabbed Gu Huaiye’s arm, his expression calm and serious. “If you say he’s going to District B tomorrow, that means the registration and selection have already taken place. Unless he was rejected, he cannot voluntarily withdraw.”
“He can’t?”
Gu Huaiye had served as a translator in the army, but he wasn’t clear on the soldier selection mechanism.
Perhaps it was classified; he rarely heard anyone mention it when he was inside.
“No. Otherwise, Xiang Wanxing wouldn’t have used this method to force him away back then.”
“Then what do we do!” Gu Huaiye panicked, his eyes red, his emotions becoming agitated. “I can’t just watch him go to his death.”
Chen Zirui’s physical constitution wasn’t great to begin with.
Although he was an Alpha, he hadn’t trained much. Sending him there would be making him cannon fodder.
“Don’t get excited yet.” Xie Miaohan held Gu Huaiye’s shoulders, guided him to sit on a chair, and comforted him gently. “When you stopped me from committing suicide before, I remember you mentioning that you lost Chen Zirui. What exactly did you mean?”
At that time, Xie Miaohan was in a state of emotional collapse and hadn’t looked into Gu Huaiye’s words.
Thinking about it carefully now, something seemed off.
Gu Huaiye pursed his lips and said with difficulty, “When I was thirty-five, Chen Zirui was hit by a car and killed by his father’s illegitimate son.”
Xie Miaohan’s brow immediately furrowed. He crouched down and held Gu Huaiye’s trembling hand.
“That’s why I encouraged him to go to the training grounds, so he could meet Xiang Wanxing. I also encouraged him to join the army to stay as far away from the Chen family as possible. But I didn’t expect that I would still harm him.”
“Don’t panic.” Seeing he was about to cry, Xie Miaohan quickly coaxed, “The situation hasn’t reached a terrible point yet.”
Gu Huaiye looked up. “But Xiang Wanxing in this life didn’t fall in love with Chen Zirui. It was the same in the life where you weren’t there. It was precisely because he didn’t have Xiang Wanxing’s help that Chen Zirui encountered danger.”
“Actually, his love was…” Xie Miaohan paused. “Forget it, I can’t guarantee anything right now either.”
Gu Huaiye lowered his head and choked out, “I always fail at everything. I can’t take good care of you, and I can’t prevent Chen Zirui’s death.”
Xie Miaohan looked down at Gu Huaiye. After a sigh, he cupped Gu Huaiye’s face and gently kissed away the tear tracks.
“You must not think like that. You take very good care of me. I haven’t hurt myself anymore.”
Gu Huaiye stared at the wrist wearing the rubber band and remained silent.
“Actually, there is still a way to solve this.”
“What way?” Gu Huaiye raised his eyes to meet Xie Miaohan’s gaze.
Xie Miaohan smiled at him, his eyes revealing indulgence.
“Do you want the Gu Group to expand into District B?”
Gu Huaiye was stunned, staring blankly at Xie Miaohan.
“But to open a company in District B, we need to get a permit. We don’t know any nobles…” Gu Huaiye paused, then exclaimed in surprise, “You’re going to befriend Xiang Wanxing like before?”
“Mn.”
“No!” Gu Huaiye shook his head. “I can’t let you go to the battlefield again!”
Xie Miaohan curved his lips in a smile and stroked his head. “I don’t necessarily have to go to the battlefield. I have other ways to make him cooperate with me.”
Gu Huaiye fell silent, seeming to still be considering it.
Xie Miaohan recalled what happened before and, afraid Gu Huaiye might misunderstand, quickly explained, “I know you can’t bear to leave your father. Taking you to District B would be too unfair to you. I’ll go to District B alone. Once the Gu Group is established in District B, we can become Chen Zirui’s backing. You won’t have to worry about him being transferred to the front lines as a meat shield.”
“But your illness…”
Xie Miaohan interrupted Gu Huaiye, his smile relaxed. “I’m much better. As long as you promise to call me every day, I can be apart from you.”
Of course, he couldn’t bear to leave Gu Huaiye. That anxiety hadn’t disappeared; being apart for even a moment was painful enough to make him doubt reality.
But he didn’t want to see Gu Huaiye cry either.
As long as he was certain Gu Huaiye hadn’t abandoned him and was thinking of him every moment, he would have the courage to be apart for a while.
“Huaiye, as long as you promise not to aband—”
Gu Huaiye suddenly lunged forward and hugged Xie Miaohan, crying, “I’m going with you.”
Xie Miaohan’s breathing faltered, and he hugged him back.
“What about your father?”
“He will agree to let us go together.” Gu Huaiye sniffled and said, “From the moment I decided to move out of the Gu house, I planned to follow you forever. Of course I can’t bear to let you go to District B alone. Let me accompany you. Once we settle down and achieve something, we can bring Dad over, okay?”
His Miaomiao was willing to do so much for him. Even though he was still sick, he was willing to suggest separating and going to District B alone.
With Miaomiao loving him this much, how could he bear to let him go alone?
“What about your studies?” Xie Miaohan asked again. “You haven’t graduated yet.”
“I’ll talk to Dad properly and apply for a suspension first. He will agree.”
As long as Father Gu felt he wasn’t degrading himself, he would support him no matter the decision.
“Miaomiao, let me accompany you. I said a lot of hurtful things to push you away so I could escape District B before, but none of that was sincere. Every time I said it, I felt terrible for a long time. I just want to be with you now and never be apart from you again.”
At this moment, Xie Miaohan’s heart settled, and his eyes reddened.
“Okay.”
