Chapter 437: Heartbroken ~ Captain Xu

The army is full of rough guys who fight to the death on the training ground and compete with each other even after leaving the training ground.

It's like you're sleeping soundly late at night and suddenly get splashed with water, or someone is sleeping so soundly that they don't even realize their pants are being stripped off and their butt is naked, and then the wake-up call is blown, and a bunch of people gather around their beds to watch them "stand at attention and salute."

Such pranks are endless, and Xu Feng is a heavy participant among them.

So when Wang Cheng saw Xu Feng clearly, his first reaction was to lift the quilt to see if his pants were still there.

Fortunately, the pants are still there.

Captain Wang let out a long breath and looked at Xu Feng, who was like a door god, and still felt scared.

He sighed and said, "Captain Xu, what on earth are you doing up at night? Even if I shower every day recently, it doesn't bother you, does it? You wouldn't bother me for such a small thing."

"Do I really need to take a shower every day?" Xu Feng frowned tightly and blurted out a random question.

What?

What did he say?

Wang Cheng was puzzled and thought that Xu Feng was confused from his sleep, so he didn't pay much attention to what Xu Feng said.

He yawned and mumbled, "Xu Feng, if you have nothing to do, get out now. It's still early and I can still catch a nap. If you can't sleep, go out and run three kilometers... Forget it, if you want to run ten kilometers, you'll definitely be able to fall asleep when you come back."

The royal city is closing its doors to visitors.

But Xu Feng just stood there and didn't move a single step.

Wang Cheng raised his head and stared at Xu Feng, wondering again if Xu Feng was up to something bad again.

Xu Feng was silent for a long time amid Wang Cheng's speculation, and finally spoke.

"Wang Cheng, let me ask you a question."

"Alright, I'd like to hear what kind of problem it is that's worthy of you, Captain Xu, staying up late at night to ask me." Wang Cheng was almost laughing with anger as he said unhappily, "Is it the front-line combat plan? Or did you come up with a new strategy from the sandbox simulation? Xu Feng, could it be that you've just had a sudden inspiration and developed a new weapon?"

Wang Cheng's words were clearly meant to tease Xu Feng.

If it were any other time, Xu Feng would have been so angry that he would have jumped up and down on the spot after hearing these words, and would have had a few exchanges with Wang Cheng and had a fierce "competition".

So while Wang Cheng was speaking, he had already secretly prepared himself for defense, waiting for a big fight with Xu Feng.

However--

Wang Cheng waited for a long time, but he didn't see Xu Feng's fists or feet attack him. Instead, he heard Xu Feng stammering a few words.

"...You and Ding Xiaohui..."

Wang Cheng frowned and immediately retorted loudly, "What's wrong with Ding Xiaohui and me? Xu Feng, let me tell you, I fell in love with Xiaohui first. She's already my future wife. You're not allowed to compete with me for her."

"Bullshit, I'm too lazy to fight with you."

Xu Feng had been hesitating for so long, but he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started to speak in a bad tone, which also restored Xu Feng's most normal appearance.

He no longer hid anything and just spoke directly.

"Wang Cheng, how can you be sure that you want Ding Xiaohui to be your wife?"

"What? Do I have to write the Five Principles of Military Management to find a wife? I like her, I love her, and I just want her to be my wife, right?"

Wang Cheng answered loudly, his tone full of rudeness, boldness, and direct and simple emotions.

I just like her, I cherish her, and I just want to marry her home.

What a simple truth.

As Wang Cheng was talking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Xu Feng pried open his door and woke him up in the middle of the night, just to ask such a trivial question?

Is this still Captain Xu, the bachelor among bachelors, who has no interest in women and plans to devote his whole life to the country?

Wang Cheng suddenly stood up from the bed, touched his chin, and looked Xu Feng up and down.

"Captain Xu, what's wrong with you? Aren't you the least interested in matters of love between men and women? Didn't you laugh at me taking two showers a day? What's wrong? You're just reveling." Wang Cheng put his arm around Xu Feng's neck and pulled the stunned Xu Feng to sit down. "Xu Feng, tell me, which girl have you taken a fancy to?"

Xu Feng tightened his lips and said nothing.

Wang Cheng simply guessed, "Is it the girl from the art troupe at the last social? She doesn't look like her... You embarrassed her. She hates you to death. She probably won't like you anymore."

"Or were there other pretty girls at that social?"

"Or is it the female soldier who came to cooperate with the army a while ago?"

"Or is it you, the hero who saved the little village girl you saved before?"

Wang Cheng almost guessed all the women Xu Feng had contact with.

Xu Feng interrupted, "Don't guess, these are not true. Just answer me one question, how can you be sure that you like Ding Xiaohui?"

Listening to Xu Feng's words, Wang Cheng was sure that Xu Feng must have a girl he liked.

Wang Cheng suddenly raised his head and touched Xu Feng's chest, which was also his pectoral muscles.

Xu Feng felt nauseous and almost pushed Wang Cheng out.

But the result was not much better. Xu Feng gave Wang Cheng a clean elbow.

He said viciously, "Wang Cheng, are you disgusting? We're both men, why are you touching me?"

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!" Wang Cheng's chest was severely injured. He coughed several times and said while enduring the pain, "Xu Feng, you - you bastard! Are you the only one who has chest muscles and I don't have them? I like women, why would I touch a stinky old man like you? Cough cough cough -"

"Then you are..."

"I'm checking you to see if your heart is broken!"

Wang Cheng roared and gasped for breath, and the pain in his chest finally subsided.

Xu Feng frowned and said, "My heart is fine."

Wang Cheng sneered, "Since your heart is in great shape, can't you feel when it beats fast or slow?"

Xu Feng was stunned again and fell silent.

When was the last time his heart beat so hard?

When he won first place in the military competition? When he saw Lu Zhanlin get grazed by a bullet in the head and nearly died? Or when he was a new recruit and touched a real gun for the first time?

In those fragments of memory, his heart was indeed beating violently.

But those heartbeats were completely different from the fast and chaotic heartbeats when I was close to Ye Zhaodi yesterday afternoon.
