Chapter 1135: Reviving the Wife’s Female Powers
The few days before school reopened always passed more leisurely. There was no pressure from studies and only the dark clouds of the military training hung on the heads of the freshmen, causing the pampered and frail freshmen to lament.
Some people were afraid that the hot weather would tan their tender skins after a month of military training, some people were afraid of the hardship and fatigue, and some of them complained that a month of enclosed life was totally boring.
And although Wen Xinya was originally rather calm about the military training, she couldn’t help but be affected by the atmosphere and started being resentful.
The room was in a heated conversation.
Zhou Tianyu asked, “Qingxuan, didn’t you previously say that Xu-er was coming back soon? Why don’t we have news yet?”
The situation at the Western district had been unsettling and everyone hoped that Xu-er could come back.
Ling Qingxuan pointed at Gu Junling and giggled. “You remembered wrongly. This wasn’t said by me but Little Eunuch Gu. Little Gu knows more than me, you can ask him if you want!”
They were all buddies, how could Gu Junling know more than him—his words were merely to create an opportunity for his buddy to perform. After all… it hadn’t been easy for his buddy to make it this far, for the two of them to finally have something going on, so the rest of them had to nudge them.
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan couldn’t help but laugh secretly. Ling Qingxuan was so cunning.
Ever since Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu affirmed the open secret between them, although Zhou Tianyu usually appeared rather open, when it came to relationships, she was as awkward as a child—putting up a false front, evading the topic, and even avoiding to speak to Gu Junling during normal gatherings.
Actually, Zhou Tianyu couldn’t be blamed either. Anyone would feel weird to suddenly discover that her good friend of more than a decade had ulterior thoughts about herself and to suddenly become lovers with him. It was all Gu Junling’s fault. Of course… this was also due to the fact the Zhou Tianyu had never had a relationship from young and was clueless. Thus, Gu Junling still needed to work on it.
Fortunately, after more than a decade of persistence, Gu Junling had laid down a strong foundation for himself. And although Zhou Tianyu was clueless, she wasn’t unfeeling.
Zhou Tianyu’s ear reddened. “Who are you kidding—I obviously heard you talking about it the other time.”
Her gaze couldn’t help but shift onto Gu Junling instinctively. When it interacted with his scorching gaze, she retracted her gaze as if she got scalded, and couldn’t help but feel her face redden and heart hasten.
Ling Qingxuan didn’t notice her expression and said pretentiously, “Oh yes? I don’t quite remember.”
So, you still got to ask Little Eunuch Gu.
Zhou Tianyu couldn’t help but fume. “Forgetfulness is a symptom of an illness—you gotta treat it!”
“Hahahaha…” Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan really couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing helplessly.
Gu Junling saw that she was angry and hurriedly consoled her. “He recently just went to the hospital and we aren’t sure if he was seeking treatment. No point being upset with him.”
“Damn! Can we still be friends!” Ling Qingxuan almost wanted to point a finger at Gu Junling’s nose and curse and swear at him for valuing girls over brotherhood. Who was he doing this for, attracting trouble to himself and in the end… his brother betrayed him without blinking his eyes.
Wen Xinya laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. “Little Eunuch Gu, you’re not being nice!”
Xu Tongxuan was also tearing from laughing. “You’re having a whale of a time betraying your brother!”
Du Ruo puffed her cheeks as if she was infuriated. “You’re so smitten with your babe that you’ve forgotten about your friends!”
Even Zhou Tianyu also couldn’t help but start laughing with an inevitable tinge of pride in her eyes.
Over the years, under the limitless bombarding of his friends, Gu Junling had already long attained immunity. His skin was as thick as the Great Wall of China and wouldn’t care about how the masses viewed him. He sat down beside Zhou Tianyu and said, “Xu-er seems really busy recently and hasn’t been contacting us. However, it seems like he may be back soon.”
However…
Gu Junling stole a hazy look at Wen Xinya.
Regarding Si Yiyan, everyone had unanimously agreed to keep it from Xu-er. When he came back, there would be no concealing the truth, and who knew what would happen then.
Zhou Tianyu’s ears were reddened as she acknowledged with a plain “Hmm” while her eyes twinkled and wandered everywhere but Gu Junling’s eyes.
Gu Junling knew that she was awkward and couldn’t bear to force her, either. With the intention of breaking the awkward atmosphere, he raised his wine glass and said loudly, “Here here here, there’s no fun in merely chatting. Drink up, drink up!”
Wen Xinya was the first to join in.
Zhou Tianyu was waiting for the opportunity to come back stronger and she immediately said sarcastically, “Psht, who wants to drink with you! You’re always the loudest but drinks the least, how unsatisfying.”
In the recent gatherings, Xinya had been drinking the least. Previously, they had thought that she didn’t wish to drink. However, they eventually found out that it was the one at home who didn’t allow her to drink more.
Xu Tongxuan continued, “Exactly. You’re not even married and you’re already totally subdued by the man. Do you dare to drink five glasses for us to see?”
Wen Xinya hurriedly raised her hands in defeat. “I don’t, you guys do!”
Ever since she got drunk the previous time, turned childish, did all sorts of ridiculous things, and made Si Yiyan angry, now Wen Xinya was already holding back her liquor, not daring to drink more, much less become drunk.
Normally, Si Yiyan was willing to let her have her way all the time. However, once he was angered, although he didn’t throw his temper, he became exceptionally scary, making her fearful for no apparent reason.
How could she still dare to get drunk?
Ling Qingxuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Psht! You’ve only got this much guts. He doesn’t allow you to drink and you really daren’t drink.”
Du Ruo raised her hand and said meekly, “I can’t be the only one who feels that alcohol is bad for health and it’s better to drink less?”
Everyone said, “You don’t even drink, please shut up. Be good~”
The cannons instantly shifted onto her. Under the immense pressure, Wen Xinya raised her hands in defeat.
Zhou Tianyu looked at Wen Xinya scornfully. “Look at how useless you look—you aren’t even married yet and you’re already totally subdued by a man. Surely you’re better than this!”
Xu Tongxuan said, “Exactly. You’re too useless. Where’s your usual guts? Swallowed by dogs? Good men are all trained to be so through oppression. You’ve gotta revive the wife’s female powers.”
Gu Junling said, “Oh, Xinya, you’re so useless that it’s hard on us to be on your side. If you really get bullied in the future, how can we stand up for you!”
Ling Qingxuan said, “In a relationship, one party will definitely prevail over the other. By being useless and subdued like this, you’re in a weakened state in the romantic relationship and will easily be bullied.”
Du Ruo shut her mouth tightly as she gave Wen Xinya a helpless look.
Wen Xinya was extremely indignant and started nagging like a resentful woman. “I’m useless, I’m useless, I’m useless…”
Hey, was she really so useless?
Wen Xinya recalled Si Yiyan’s majestic and threatening gaze and couldn’t help but shiver—it seemed like she was really useless!
