My Little Poplar - Chap 88

Chen Jing probably realised he had lost his temper, drank a full glass of ice water, sobered up a bit and got up to say goodbye to Bai Xinyu.

Bai Xinyu put him in a taxi and walked himself to the hotel a short distance away. He was a bit dizzy, he didn’t know how high the fever was and with a bit of alcohol, he was walking a bit wobbly, a small illness wouldn’t have affected him but he still felt physically uncomfortable. Could it be that he had been out of the army for a year or so and had weakened? He’d been running every day, it just wasn’t the same as the intense training he’d been doing, it just wasn’t the same.

Sometimes when he thought about it, there were things he thought he could do forever but they changed all the time, he thought he could keep up the habits he had in the army but he was getting lax, he thought he could remember the names of everyone in the Snowleopard brigade but over time, there were a few he didn’t talk to him that much, even his face was starting to blur, so he always believed that one day he would remember Yu Fengcheng and say with aplomb “Oh, that grandson, we used to be good” and that was it, he couldn’t do it now but he would sooner or later, so for now this was He shouldn’t take it personally, he’s just… He’s just… just a little angry, why doesn’t he forget what he should forget but he forgets what he doesn’t want to forget so quickly.

Bai Xinyu staggers across the road, suddenly, a flash of light blinds him, his body is pulled backwards, into a firm embrace, then, the sound of brakes, Bai Xinyu half squints, looked at the car parked not far in front of him and breaks into a cold sweat.

The driver lowered his window and cursed in shock: “You’re looking for fucking death.”

Bai Xinyu shook his head, not sure if the sound is his own, “No, I’m alive and well.”

The driver was about to say something else, his eyes drifted behind him, he suddenly gulped in fear and drove off.

Bai Xinyu turned his head, meets a pair of deep, silent eyes, he doesn’t respond for a moment, he just stares.

Yu Fengcheng said in a deep voice: “It’s a good thing I followed you, come on, I’ll take you back to the hotel.”

Bai Xinyu shook off Yu Fengcheng’s hand, he doesn’t bother to ask Yu Fengcheng why he is here, he’s not even sure if he’s dreaming anymore.

Yu Fengcheng followed him and sends him across the road.

Bai Xinyu muffled: “Don’t fucking follow me.”

“I’m not following you, what if you crash into the car again.”

“It won’t kill me.” Bai Xinyu was furious, he didn’t want to appear like a ghost in front of Yu Fengcheng, he couldn’t look like he was about to collapse.

Yu Fengcheng didn’t say anything, he just followed him all the way.

Bai Xinyu felt the more he walked, the more he felt the sky spinning, just before he reached the hotel entrance, he felt like he was going to faint, so he crouched down on the ground, trying to take a break.

Yu Fengcheng also knelt down, touched his head and whispered: “I’ll take you to get an injection.”

Bai Xinyu shook his head, looked at him with burning red eyes and said, “Why are you here.”

“The sergeant has been in the Snowleopard brigade for over a year, never taken a leave of absence, even if he went out of the base, he wouldn’t be alone, I guessed it was you, so I followed him out.” Yu Fengcheng said grimly: “You didn’t even want to see me?”
