My Little Poplar - Chap 84

Bai Xinyu took him to a Hunan restaurant, he knew Yu Fengcheng didn’t like spicy food, he deliberately ordered a table of heavily spiced dishes and ate them all by himself.

Yu Fengcheng did put his chopsticks down after a few bites, he ordered a bottle of wine, poured two glasses and said, “Xinyu, it’s been a long time, here’s to it.”

Bai Xinyu didn’t even look up, “I don’t drink.”

Yu Fengcheng smiled and said, “Fine, I’ll drink myself.” And with that he finished his glass of wine.

The two of them got hot from the spicy food, Yu Fengcheng took off his down jacket, he was wearing a short sleeve, as he raised his glass, his elbow went up, Bai Xinyu saw a scar on his upper arm, it was half the size of a walnut, it was hideous, it hadn’t healed long ago, Bai Xinyu knew It was a new scar, because he knew every inch of this man’s body and now… I wonder how many new scars Yu Fengcheng has had in the last ten months.

Yu Fengcheng noticed his gaze, looked at his arm and said, “After you left, the dagger went in here. I’m glad you’re long gone now, the Snowleopard Brigade has always been a low loss ratio special forces unit but almost every mission someone is either dead or wounded, I don’t want to see you get hurt again.”

Bai Xinyu gave a sarcastic laugh, he tried to hold it in but the snort came out uncontrollably. He couldn’t help it, because Yu Fengcheng’s remark was so ridiculous, as if Yu Fengcheng had actually done something when he was hurt but, he didn’t say anything, he just picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.

Spicy, spicy food, spicy wine, it’s like his heart is burning up.

Yu Fengcheng’s eyes dimmed, he breathed hard, “Xinyu, I won’t justify what I did in the past, I’ve wronged you for many things, I left at that time…”

“Don’t fuck with me about the past.” Bai Xinyu filled his glass and said, “Here, here, to my comrades, to the warriors of the Republic.”

Yu Fengcheng froze but clinked his glass.

Bai Xinyu finished his drink and said nonchalantly: “Are you full? I’ve had enough.”

Yu Fengcheng shook his head, “No.”

“Then take your time, I’ll settle the bill, I’ve got to go now.” Bai Xinyu said and got up, he couldn’t stand sitting face to face with Yu Fengcheng anymore, it was uncomfortable.

Yu Fengcheng grabbed his hand, Bai Xinyu struggled a bit but couldn’t get free, he stared at Yu Fengcheng, Yu Fengcheng also looked at him without blinking, Bai Xinyu looked around, he knew Yu Fengcheng was a He knew Yu Fengcheng was a cheeky man, he had no choice but to sit back down again. He used to imagine himself in the news, as a starlet in a scandal, now he imagines himself in the news, as a decorated soldier, a young entrepreneur, in short, not a drunken gay brawler.

Bai Xinyu straightened his clothes and said in as calm a tone as he could manage: “Yu Fengcheng, I felt a long time ago that we had nothing more to say to each other, you feel sorry for me, I accept it, what else can I do, I can’t castrate you, besides, we don’t hate each other that much. I just don’t want to waste any more time on you, I don’t care if it’s guilt or whatever, I don’t care, I’m a narcissist, you know that, I don’t play second fiddle to anyone, we’re done, it’s goodbye.”

Yu Fengcheng held his hand tightly and whispered: “You’re not a supporting actor, you’re in my heart, you’ve never been a supporting actor.”

Bai Xinyu’s chest swelled with anger, he smiled and said: “Don’t you feel guilty saying that.”

Yu Fengcheng gently rubbed the back of Bai Xinyu’s hand with his fingers, the warmth of his skin brought back countless fond memories, it made his heart tremble, he looked Bai Xinyu straight in the eyes and said, “I knew from the beginning, my feelings for you were different from those for my I knew from the beginning, that my feelings for you were different from my Little Uncle, only at that time, I couldn’t tell what I liked but now I know better, I love him with affection and admiration, it’s you I like.”
