Chapter 124: Gu Huaiye Disappeared
Gu Huaiye disappeared.
Xie Miaohan waited at home for a week. When his heart turned cold and he was certain Gu Huaiye would not appear again, he dragged his simply packed luggage to District B.
On the first day of reporting to the army, the new recruits fought in the ring to determine the strong ones who would join the frontline team.
Xie Miaohan’s opponent was an SSS-level Alpha like him. The people below the stage thought there would be an exciting boxing match, but a winner was decided in less than ten minutes.
The Alpha was covered in blood, beaten by him until he was on his last breath.
Xie Miaohan’s crazy bloodlust frightened everyone, including the officer in charge of training them.
After that, he successfully entered the frontline team and gained a bunch of fanboys who revered him.
But at the same time, no one dared to bully him, even though he had a beautiful face capable of enchanting everyone.
Whenever Xie Miaohan had free time, Gu Huaiye’s face would surface in his mind.
He wondered if Gu Huaiye was living well abroad. Maybe he had started to look forward and had a new date.
Jiang Zhuoqing always said Gu Huaiye was old, but he didn’t think so.
He had never seen anyone better looking than Gu Huaiye. Even with fine lines at the corners of his eyes, he found him charming.
After leaving him behind, he must be living very well.
Xie Miaohan hated Gu Huaiye very much, but if the other was truly living well, he accepted it.
After all, he was always the one being abandoned. How could he delusionally hope that Gu Huaiye would stay with him forever?
After half a year of training, Xie Miaohan went to the most perilous battlefield.
It was indeed as dangerous as Gu Huaiye had said; comrades were sacrificing their lives at any moment.
Xie Miaohan saw too many dead bodies, but his heart remained unmoved, without a shred of fear.
He knew that soon, he would become one of them.
By the end of the year, the people in the army had changed. Except for some stronger Alphas, everyone else was a new face.
In the camp, Xie Miaohan endured the ceaseless chatter of the new comrade in the next bed with a blank expression.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xie Miaohan prepared to get up and teach the guy a lesson.
Just then, the man picked up a dust-covered photo in the corner. He blew on it with his mouth, and seemingly still unable to see clearly, wiped it on his clothes.
“Who is this?” The man took the photo and walked to the light bulb to illuminate it. “It’s actually a photo of two handsome guys. Was it accidentally dropped here?”
Xie Miaohan didn’t care about such things. He lay back down and closed his eyes to rest.
Footsteps suddenly approached his bed. Xie Miaohan opened his eyes sharply, looking at the man as if staring at a dead object.
The man was startled and hurriedly said, “Is this photo yours?”
“No. I didn’t bring any photos.”
The man froze for a moment and looked at the photo again.
“That’s not right. This is clearly your face. Do you have a twin brother?”
Xie Miaohan frowned, preparing to say something harsh to drive away the annoying new comrade.
But suddenly thinking of something, he bolted upright and snatched the photo from the other’s hand.
His eyes immediately locked onto Gu Huaiye in the photo, and then moved to the man beside Gu Huaiye.
His breathing stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
He looked exactly like him.
No, not exactly the same. That man’s brows and eyes were clearly much gentler and more mature than his.
After the outing, Xie Miaohan hadn’t taken any photos with Gu Huaiye.
He had mentioned taking a photo with Gu Huaiye several times, but Gu Huaiye had shaken his head and refused. He didn’t want to make the other unhappy, so he could only bury his grievance in his heart.
So it was impossible for him to have taken this kind of photo with Gu Huaiye.
The only one he could think of was Gu Huaiye’s dead lover.
Xie Miaohan clenched the photo tightly and couldn’t help laughing out loud. His eyes were dead silent, and after a long time, he shed tears.
There was something he had never understood.
Why Gu Huaiye adopted him in the beginning.
They were neither relatives nor had they met before.
Even during their first meeting, he had bitten Gu Huaiye’s hand.
Now he finally understood.
It turned out he had a face similar to Gu Huaiye’s lover.
Seeing him laughing and crying at the same time was truly creepy, so the new comrade silently moved further away.
Xie Miaohan was a famous lunatic in the army; it was better not to provoke him.
The next day, everyone came out to assemble.
When Xie Miaohan came out, everyone sucked in a breath upon looking at his face.
This lunatic had actually used a knife to slash his own face.
That stunningly beautiful face was now covered in knife scars of various sizes, with some wounds even oozing tiny beads of blood.
Xie Miaohan walked into the ranks as if nothing had happened, paying no mind to their strange looks.
He hoped that after Gu Huaiye saw his ugly face, he would regret everything he had done.
If he could start feeling sorry for him because of his disfigurement and never leave him again…
That would be perfect.
A few days later, the vice commander called him in for a talk.
“Why don’t you go back and rest for a while first? We’ll arrange a professional psychologist for you.”
Xie Miaohan was silent for a moment, then smiled. “Don’t you want to win this war? Releasing a lunatic like me to deal with the enemy—isn’t that more beneficial to you? If you need to, you can strap bombs all over me; I don’t care.”
After this conversation, the vice commander stopped trying to persuade him.
They truly needed such a lunatic.
Just as the vice commander was about to leave, Xie Miaohan suddenly grabbed his arm.
“Has anyone named Xie Huaiye been here before?”
The vice commander frowned, his eyes a bit blank, seeming unable to recall. “Sorry, I can’t remember everyone.”
Xie Miaohan let go.
It must have been dropped here by coincidence.
Gu Huaiye was good at translating. Maybe he had come to the army to translate and dropped it in the camp.
He hadn’t seen this photo for many years either, so there was no way to prove when Gu Huaiye lost it.
His brother was still abroad.
Yes, it must be so.
Not long after, Xie Miaohan was shot in the abdomen. He had intended to just wait for death. But wanting to see Gu Huaiye again, wanting to see Gu Huaiye’s regretful face, he endured the pain and crawled out from the pile of corpses.
Back at the camp, he lay on the bed, holding up the photo and staring at Gu Huaiye obsessively.
The doctor treating his wound saw his intense focus and looked over curiously.
“It’s Little Ye,” the doctor said. “Are you two lovers? I haven’t seen him since he left the army the year before last. How is he doing?”
