Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1152: Xu-er’s Feelings of Distraught

Life in the base camp was boring and mundane, and time would crawl by if Wen Xinya didn’t take part in the training. Hence, she had been spending her days in boredom while her peers were out training hard.

She felt like she had become the odd one out in the military training program and often felt ostracized when her peers stared at her peculiarly during mealtimes at the canteen.

Since everyone was busy training hard, she found it inappropriate to show up in front of them. Hence, she decided to keep a low profile and spent most of her days inside the dorm. Sometimes, she would even request Ye Feiyu to bring her meals.

Of course, those were just minor issues.

Most importantly, Xu Zhenyu had been behaving strangely for the past two days.

Although Xu Zhenyu did not mention about her medical leave when he visited her, he had a sullen expression on his face and treated her with a harsh and hostile attitude too. He would simply ask her a few questions coldly before leaving. It had been a few days since she last saw him, and she reckoned that he must have been upset because Si Yiyan applied for medical leave straight from the senior officer without seeking Xu Zhenyu’s permission.

She felt that Si Yiyan had gone overboard with that.

Xu Zhenyu had just returned to Capital city and hence, did not have a stable position in the base camp yet. Given how close she was to Xu Zhenyu, she felt that there was no need to make things difficult for him and embarrass him just because of the medical leave.

Wen Xinya took the opportunity to look for Xu Zhenyu at his office during lunch break.

She could hear Xu Zhenyu yelling from a distance away. “A bunch of sissies. I’ve only increased the intensity of the training by a little and you’re already yelling and complaining like it’s the end of the world. Do you really take yourselves to be those pampered students? You’re so weak and incompetent. Yet, you still have the cheek to think about going on the battlefield to defend our nation. You people were still being breastfed when I was slogging away in Northwest Military Base Camp.”

Wen Xinya shuddered after hearing Xu Zhenyu’s voice, which was too daunting and terrifying to her. She finally understood... how gentle Xu Zhenyu was to the freshmen, compared to the way he treated his soldiers.

Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment and contemplated if she should go look for Xu Zhenyu.

At this moment, Xiao Huang exited the office with a look of dejection. Upon sight of Wen Xinya, he quickly rushed forward as if he had seen his life savior. “Xinya, are you here to see Commander Xu?”

Xiao Huang had been working for Xu Zhenyu ever since they were in the Northwest Military Base Camp and even requested to be transferred to Capital city together with Xu Zhenyu.

Wen Xinya took a glance at Xu Zhenyu’s office hesitantly. “Xu-er... I mean, Commander Xu, he... he...”

He looked rather daunting whenever he threw tantrums.

Xiao Huang scratched his head and said softly, “Hehe! Commander is fine, he just looks scary.”

Everyone in Northwest Military base camp knew that Xu Zhenyu had a crush on Wen Xinya. As Xu Zhenyu’s closest confidante, Xiao Huang was definitely well aware of it. He also knew that Xu Zhenyu had requested to be in charge of the Capital University military training program all because of Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya asked softly, “He... did anyone provoke him? Is he really alright? He seems infuriated.”

Be it in the previous lifetime or the present, Wen Xinya had never seen him throwing such a huge tantrum before. It was as if he were a beast that had lost its rationality.

At the end, he sounded like he was yelling at the top of his lungs.

He did not seem to be throwing a normal tantrum. In fact, he seemed like he was venting all of his pent up anger. Hence, she was rather worried.

Xiao Huang scratched his head again and answered, “He should be fine! Boss has just returned to Capital city and hence, he doesn’t have a stable position yet. He has to train the students while tending to the training of the soldiers. It’s rather stressful for him.”

Wen Xinya asked, “Did he use to always throw such tantrums?”

Most of the time, one would be angst, frustrated and unable to control his emotions because of weak kidney and spleen functions. If that were the case for Xu Zhenyu, she had to find a way to help nourish him.

After giving it some thought, Xiao Huang said, “I don’t think so. He used to throw tantrums, but he’s never been this angry before.”

For the past few days, Xu Zhenyu seemed to be acting out of the ordinary, a stark contrast to the way he used to be at the start of the program. However, Xiao Huang didn’t think much of it because he thought that Xu Zhenyu was just worried about Wen Xinya’s health.

“What are you two talking about? Are you getting too bored...” Xu Zhenyu murmured angrily while walking towards the door.

Xiao Huang frantically escaped.

Wen Xinya dodged before walking into the office.

“Aren’t you facing issues with your health and is in need of rest? What are you doing here?” Xu Zhenyu questioned, glaring at Wen Xinya with bloodshot eyes like a ferocious beast.

Wen Xinya stared at Xu Zhenyu with a slight frown and asked, “When was the last time you had a good rest?”

The veins on his eyes were intertwined and his eyebags were heavy too. She could tell at one glance that it was the result of several consecutive days of poor sleep. Hence, she reckoned that he had lost control of his emotions because of his lack of rest.

Xu Zhenyu looked away and said coldly, “Why do you care so much? Why don’t you spend time looking after your own health instead?”

It had been three days since he had a good night’s sleep. The thought of Wen Xinya hugging Si Yiyan in the medical office made it difficult for him to sleep. Actually... he should have thought about it right from the start.

However, he had been feeling uncertain because he had never seen it with his own eyes before.

Previously in Northwest Military base camp, Han Mofeng had been hinting about Wen Xinya’s relationship to him, but he was too obsessed with rejoicing over his return to notice.

He was the only one amongst the clique who was still immersed in his own world and refusing to face reality.

Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan had already gotten together with each other long ago.

No... perhaps, they had gotten together way earlier than I expected.

Maybe, their relationship started three years ago.

Back then, I chose to lave Capital city and already lost at that time.

Xu Zhenyu felt indignant because he had lost before even fighting for a chance to be with her.

He lost terribly.

Although he sounded cold and aloof, Wen Xinya could tell that he was concerned about her. She chuckled and said, “Xu-er, are you too worried about my body to fall asleep? Don’t worry, my body is alright. You can go to bed in peace.”

After hearing her words, Xu Zhenyu was momentarily speechless. For the past three years or so, they had been bickering with each other and teasing each other.

Wen Xinya kicked him and said, “How petty are you? Aren’t you just angry because of the medical leave that I applied? It was my fault. I shall apologize to you.”

Xu Zhenyu was dumbfounded. The most infuriating thing in this world, is being angry at someone who doesn’t even know what you’re upset about.

He felt extremely indignant and flew into a rage. “Get lost, get as far away as you can from me.”
