Chapter 22: The Unrequited Confession

  The one who confessed to Gu Xiyan was Zheng Yi, and seeing that Jiang Hanyao had already helped her reject him, Gu Xiyan only said: "Thank you for your mistaken love, but I'm already married."

  "It's impossible, you're still so young." Yī Shuài blurted out without thinking.

  "I don't believe it either." Jiang smiled and pouted her lips, then playfully rubbed against Gu Xiyan's arm.

  Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh at the two people's reaction - why did they both think she didn't look like a married person? She was also a mother of a child!

  "Xiǎo Yán, come quickly, we need to assemble." Before the handsome man could continue his confession, Zhao Chún's voice suddenly rang out from about ten paces away.

  Gu Xiyan didn't care about the mental activities of the two people beside her anymore, she pulled Jiang Hansheng and hinted to hurry up.

  "After adjusting the formation, Zhou Yue spoke again: "Today's training is over, and as for those welfare issues between male and female soldiers, let's discuss and settle them privately. But I'm telling you ahead of time, don't try to cheat or deny what you owe."

  The men and women soldiers all had no objection. Deng Qing saw this and also spoke out: "Since it's like this, then everyone...disperse!"

  Before the words were spoken, a clear male voice suddenly rose from the male squad: "Report to the instructor, I have something to say."

  "Let him go." Zhou Yue didn't stop him, seeing that it was one of her capable soldiers speaking up. But what was this kid trying to pull on her?

  "Thank you, instructor." A handsome male soldier emerged from the third row of the male soldiers' squad.

  Gu Xiyan looked at that person and coughed. Could it be that he was actually a handsome man? For some unknown reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

  After Feng You arrived beside the instructor, he thought for a moment before saying: "Hello everyone, I'm Feng You. I came here today to confess my feelings to a female soldier and I hope you can all bear witness." After glancing in Gu Xiyan's direction, Feng You continued: "This is the second time I've seen this female soldier, but she probably doesn't know that we met before. Now, I want to ask her to be my girlfriend."

  Feng Youlve suddenly stopped, a handsome face flashing with tenderness. Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been piqued, he finally announced: "Xiyan, please be my girlfriend, I will definitely treat you well."

  Feng You's words were plain, and Gu Xiyan could also hear the sincerity in his tone. However, not to mention that she had already become a mother, even if she hadn't, she had only just met this person today, and towards him, she didn't have any particular feelings to speak of.

  The two new recruits were blown away, and many male soldiers were gritting their teeth in admiration of how quickly he had made his move. The female soldiers, on the other hand, were either envious, jealous or resentful! Of course, there were also those who remained unmoved, such as He Zhuo.

  Feng You, you little scoundrel! Zhou Yue didn't expect this guy to cause such a commotion. Heaven knows, General Shang had entrusted him with this...

  "Feng You, I'm not saying I won't help you with this, but can't you ask someone else to confess?" Zhou Yue spread her hands and furrowed her brow.

  "Coach, why? I don't want anyone else." Feng You didn't understand, was it just a matter of swapping?

  Deng Qing only knew that Gu Xiyan was sent by the people above, and wasn't clear about her real background. Looking at Zhou Yue's embarrassed expression, she suspected that Gu Xiyan must have a pretty big backing.

  "Eh, Zhou Yue, how are you going to solve this?" Deng Qing whispered, nudging the person beside her.

  "Alright, settle down, have you all had your say?" Zhou Yue furrowed her brow.

  Deng Qing saw Zhou Yue's expression and knew she was going to blow up. Looks like this letter has stepped on a mine!

  "Gu Xiyan and Feng Yuxian stay behind, everyone else withdraws from here within five minutes. If you're one second late, stand at attention outside for two hours; if you're one minute late, run five kilometers." Zhou Yue's tone was not joking in the slightest.

  The soldiers below were unclear about what was happening, but in order to avoid being implicated and punished for no reason, they naturally had to hurry up and run away.

  After the rest of the people dispersed, Deng Qing waved at Gu Xiyan, and Gu Xiyan hurried over to their side.

  "Hmm, this one, it's Xiyan, I suppose." Zhou Yue's narrow and long peach blossom eyes carefully sized up Gu Xiyan for a few moments.

  Gu Xiyan didn't avoid Zhou Yue's inquiring gaze either, and nodded lightly: "Yes, Commander Lian."

  "Hmm, Feng You has confessed to you, what's your attitude?" Zhou Yue rubbed her brow, this Feng You was stubborn and had a strong temper. She valued him quite a bit, but his unyielding personality was a good thing in training, however, when it came to this matter...

  "Commander Lian, I've already refused. Feng You, I really am a family person now." Gu Xiyan smiled apologetically at Feng You.

  "Xian, I really like you, don't make excuses. If you really don't have feelings for me, just say so." A faint look of grievance appeared on Feng You's handsome young face.

  "Alright, Feng Yu, I can attest that Xi Yan is indeed a married person. I let you two stay behind alone because I didn't want Xi Yan's situation to become public knowledge, after all, it's someone else's private matter. A good man like you shouldn't worry about not having a wife, you should broaden your horizons, right?" Zhou Yue patted Feng Yu's shoulder, half-forcefully and half-consoling.

  "Really?" The words from the instructor made Feng Yu have to carefully consider them.

  "Yes, her husband is still a soldier, don't you know how serious the crime of damaging military marriage is? This can't be done as lovers, but we can still be brothers and friends, we're all from the same unit, let's just shake hands and next time we meet, we'll be buddies." Zhou Yuetao said casually.

  It has to be said that Zhou Yue and Deng Qing's philosophies on dealing with people are quite different. In this situation, if it were up to Deng Qing to handle, there definitely wouldn't be any words of comfort afterwards. Deng Qing is very strict with her subordinates, whether it's in terms of physical or mental quality, and if she were in charge of Feng You now, she would likely punish him as soon as possible.

  Indeed, at this moment, in Deng Qing's eyes, Feng You's mother is just like a nagging wife. Can he still be expected to sacrifice his life for the country?

  Gu Xiyan and Feng Yu's little interlude ended with them shaking hands and becoming sworn siblings.

  After the two left, Deng Qing expressionlessly said: "You're too indulgent with this soldier. I originally thought you would handle him somehow."

  Zhou Yue listened to her good friend's accusations without getting angry: "Feng You's situation is special, he is the son of a martyr, his parents died for the country when he was very young. He was raised by his grandmother, and this time he came to this unit, his grandmother also strongly opposed it, I'm just thinking that if I can help, I'll help him out."

  "Don't be so special, in this day and age, there are many people who have difficulties, which family doesn't have someone with illness or pain!" Deng Qing said to her good friend with a bit of helplessness.

  "Alright, just this once, let's go. I'll treat you to a hot dog." Zhou Yue's usual stern expression was nowhere to be seen.

  Gu Xiyan returned to her dormitory, and Jiang Hansheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

  "Xiǎo Yán, where's your medicine? Hurry up and give it to me." Jiang Han Xiang said after giving Gu Xiǎo Yán a big hug.

  Gu Xiyan smiled lightly, thinking to herself that this girl was really clingy.

  After taking out the ointment, Gu Xiyan thoughtlessly handed it over to Jiang Hanyao. But unexpectedly, this girl was not happy about it. Pouting her lips, she said with a sulky face: "Xiyan, I'm also fighting for our women's honor, can't you help me apply it? Do I have to do it myself? You're so mean!"

  Gu Xiyan just thought Jiang Hansheng was childish and didn't think much of it, her index finger smeared with some ointment, she began to apply it to Jiang Hansheng's arm.

  Jiang Hanxiao's hands had quite a few bruises on them. It seemed that she and the man from the Male Lead's side had fought fiercely!

  After helping Jiang Huanxiao apply the medicine with a smile, Gu Xiyen handed her the ointment, "Here you go, just apply it a few more times and you'll be fine."

  Jiang's eyebrows curved into a smile as she took the ointment, her lovely big eyes flashing with a hint of infatuation.
