Chapter 773: Don’t Look for Him Anymore
In the next few days, Du Yan did not come to see Gu Huaiyu, and Gu Huaiyu seemed to not care about this matter.
The only person he cared about was Zhang Zhaoming. Without Du Yan coming, he always felt like something was missing.
He couldn't help but think of that day, outside Wangjiang Tower, when Du Yan looked distraught. He felt so pitiful just thinking about it, and he didn't know what kind of blow had happened to her. If he had known earlier, he should have waited a moment and asked clearly first.
"Zhao Ming."
Zhang Zhaoming heard the cry, came to his senses and looked at the man in front of him.
"General." Zhang Zhaoming quickly stood up and shouted.
Today, Gu Huaiyu wasn't wearing his usual white clothes, but a black suit that highlighted his slender, straight figure. His hair was tied up, revealing his deep eyebrows and eyes, making him look less refined and more sharp. His shirt was buttoned high, and if he unbuttoned two buttons, the muscles beneath the thin clothing could be vaguely seen.
If other people saw this, they might be surprised that a person's temperament could be so changeable, but Zhang Zhaoming was used to it, because generals often behaved like this on the battlefield.
"Exercise a few moves with me." Gu Huaiyu said with a smile.
Zhang Zhaoming nodded and followed Gu Huaiyu to the martial arts training ground in the mansion.
Gu Huaiyu threw Zhang Zhaoming his usual spear and picked up a long sword himself.
Gu Huaiyu's long sword stabbed towards him, bringing with it a whistling cold wind, and Zhang Zhaoming hurriedly blocked it.
Gu Huaiyu's moves were quick and dangerous, and each one was filled with murderous intent. In this martial arts arena, he looked like a cold-faced god of war.
Most people would have a hard time with him after a few moves. Among his personal guards, only Zhang Zhaoming was better in skills and could sometimes even fight him on equal terms.
But today, after just a few moves, the spear in Zhang Zhaoming's hand was knocked to the ground.
Gu Huaiyu held a long sword in his hand, just against his neck, pointing directly at the vital point.
Zhang Zhaoming clasped his fists in admitting defeat.
Gu Huaiyu retracted his sword, and a drop of sweat fell down his neck and slid into his clothes.
Gu Huaiyu frowned and looked at Zhang Zhaoming.
"Are you worried about something?" Gu Huaiyu asked.
Zhang Zhaoming nodded and looked at Gu Huaiyu, as if he had something to say.
He thought for a moment and then said, "General, Miss Du hasn't been here in the past few days."
"Miss Du?" Gu Huaiyu said with a frown.
Zhang Zhaoming looked at the confusion in his eyes and was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the general didn't know who Miss Du was?
Miss Du is deeply in love with the general, but the general doesn't even know who she is... Zhang Zhaoming suddenly felt sorry for her and felt depressed.
"Miss Du is Du Wei's sister, right?" Gu Huaiyu thought about it and looked at Zhang Zhaoming's expression, as if she had guessed something. "Tell her that I don't like her and she doesn't need to chase me."
Gu Huaiyu seemed to be wearing a perfect mask. Every move he made was very appropriate and he rarely said no.
He saw that Zhang Zhaoming liked Miss Du. Zhang Zhaoming was his subordinate and his brother, someone he cared about, so he wanted to reject the girl and give Zhang Zhaoming a chance.
Zhang Zhaoming's mood was very complicated. He felt sad for Du Yan, but also mixed with inexplicable joy, which he himself could not explain.
"General, are all girls the same to you? Do you have someone you like?" Zhang Zhaoming couldn't help but ask.
Gu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
like?
He doesn't know what love is.
Most girls are the same to him, but there is only one...
When he was seriously injured and stranded in the Northern Barbarians, a brother and sister rescued him. The sister rudely tried to tear off his clothes to treat his wounds, but he refused and mocked him for being a sissy. After looking at his body, she said that she was a virgin and it was her first time looking at a man's body, so she asked him to take responsibility. After Gu Huaiyu hesitated for a long time and decided to take responsibility, she said she was joking and mocked him for being stupid to believe it.
Gu Huaiyu was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was injured, he couldn't see, and he couldn't walk, so he couldn't teach her a lesson at all.
She always caused him to be furious. Once, he was so angry that he accidentally tore open his own wound. Fortunately, her brother was a skilled doctor...
In that short month, Gu Huaiyu seemed to have gotten all the anger he hadn't felt in decades.
Gu Huaiyu thought that after he recovered, he would definitely return the anger he had suffered, but he didn't expect that before he fully recovered, the two people suddenly disappeared.
Gu Huaiyu didn't even know their names.
Gu Huaiyu also went to the nearby villages to inquire about them, but he heard that they were traveling doctors who often came to the village to treat people. No matter how much information they had, the villagers didn't know.
Gu Huaiyu had to rush back to the military camp and had no time to look for him, so he left.
So far I missed it.
Gu Huaiyu would sometimes dream of her. In the dream, he would be sulking all night and would wake up feeling gloomy.
Zhang Zhaoming didn't wait for the general's reply, but was shocked by his gnashing teeth expression.
"General?" Zhang Zhaoming called tentatively.
Gu Huaiyu came back to his senses and regained his gentle and elegant demeanor. He smiled gently and said, "It's okay. I'll give you half a day off. Go and take care of your own things."
Zhang Zhaoming was worried about Du Yan. He wondered why she hadn't come to see the general in the past few days. He also wondered if he should tell her what the general had just said...
While he was struggling, he walked to the door of the Du family. Zhang Zhaoming stood at the door and continued to struggle.
"Brother Zhang!" At this time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Zhaoming raised his head and saw Du Yan coming out.
Zhang Zhaoming originally thought that Du Yan would be listless, but it turned out that she seemed to be in good spirits. She even had a smile on her face when she saw him. He was surprised and delighted.
"Why are you here? Looking for me?"
"Uh..." Zhang Zhaoming hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Why haven't you visited the general recently?"
Speaking of Gu Huaiyu, Du Yan's face fell: "Second Master is snapping his fingers. He is getting impatient with me. I don't dare to go to him."
Zhang Zhaoming looked at her sad face and panicked. He had no experience in comforting people, so his words stumbled: "Du Yan, don't be sad. The general may not be impatient, it may be that his fingers are itchy... He may not be impatient with you, it may be with me..."
Du Yan looked at him, unable to speak clearly, and couldn't help but smile: "Second Young Master is not impatient with me, does he like me?"
Zhang Zhaoming thought about the general's words and said hesitantly, "No... the general said..."
"What did he say?" Du Yan asked.
Zhang Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, then changed the general's words to a more tactful way of speaking: "The general said you shouldn't waste your time on him..."
Even though Du Yan had guessed it a long time ago, she still felt a little sad when she heard this.
However, I was sad once a few days ago, but not too sad, just a little bit.
It seems that I will never be able to meet such a top-notch man.
She finally felt moved, but it ended in vain.
But how could anything in this world be so perfect? She wasn't the heroine in a storybook; at most, she was just a passer-by in Gu Huaiyu's life.
She took a deep breath and said, "That's right, you should just refuse directly. It's much better than being careless and being gentle to others and causing misunderstandings."
"Miss Du, you're actually quite good..."
"Of course I'm fine. It's your general who's unlucky." Du Yan smiled. "I won't go looking for him anymore."
Seeing Du Yan accept the result, Zhang Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief.
However, if Du Yan doesn't go to see the general, does it mean that he won't be able to see her either?
Zhang Zhaoming felt a little inexplicably lost.
