Face-Slapping the Interstellar General and His Ger (8.1)
Editor: ghost
Mu Xinhua went to hold Zhou Xu in his arms, completely ignoring Wu Mingdi and Sun Qingxia on the floor behind him.
Mu Xinhua said with a deep voice, “I haven’t seen you for a few days. I was going crazy from missing you.”
Zhou Xu smiled. Yes, this was the hug he liked. It was a hug that could make his heart feel at ease, it was the hug of his lover who had chased him for several worlds. He answered with hints of joy in his voice, “I also missed you.”
Wu Mingdi wanted to help Sun Qingxia, but she had already closed her eyes.
For Sun Qingxia, things had come to a close. She sought death and she got what she wanted. It could also be considered that her wish was granted.
Wu Mingdi’s eyes were crimson and he slowly straightened. In front of him, Zhou Xu and Mu Xinhua were his enemies. He shouted. “Mu Xinhua, you killed my sister!”
Mu Xinhua loosened his embrace, spread out his hands and said, “She wanted to kill Zhou Xu, I killed her. Was it wrong?”
Zhou Xu asked Mu Xinhua in a low voice, “Soldiers are not allowed to take guns with them when they leave the army. How did you get yours?”
Mu Xinhua glanced back and answered, “From him.”
Zhou Xu followed Mu Xinhua’s gaze and saw Ding Zhaolin behind him. He smiled and said, “Well done.”
“I think so too.”
Wu Mingdi, who had been ignored by the two, continued to shout. “You obviously could have…could have…”
Mu Xinhua coldly asked, “What could I have obviously done? I could have let Zhou Xu die? Colonel Wu, don’t you think that your request is unreasonable?”
Zhou Xu wanted to stand up, but Mu Xinhua was hugging him tightly from behind. Zhou Xu couldn’t move at all, so he could only let Mu Xinhua hug him.
Wu Mingdi was still full of sorrow. The madness in his eyes was nearly swallowing him whole, like a lion about to become insane.
Zhou Xu sighed and said, “Wu Mingdi, have you ever thought about the reason why Sun Qingxia picked up the gun in your hand and pointed it at my head after you were hurt by me?”
Wu Mingdi lifted his head and a trace of doubt appeared in his crazed eyes.
Zhou Xu continued, “Because there was no bullet in her own gun.”
Wu Mingdi froze while Zhou Xu kept talking, “There was no bullet in her gun, but inside yours, all six bullets were present.”
After that, Zhou Xu bent over to pick up the gun on the floor, but even for this, Mu Xinhua did not relax his hands on Zhou Xu’s waist.
One person bent over, the other stood behind him. This position was very similar to the posture of making love. In addition, Zhou Xu’s butt just happened to run into Mu Xinhua’s thing.
Mu Xinhua’s whole body went stiff and he quickly released his hold on Zhou Xu, stepping back a little.
Picking up the gun on the ground, Zhou Xu threw a look full of meaning at Mu Xinhua, then walked towards Wu Mingdi as if nothing had happened.
“Wu Mingdi, this is the gun she gave you. There are six bullets inside, none missing.” As he said this, Zhou Xu exposed the barrel of the gun and turned it upside down. Six bullets fell out.
The sound of the bullets landing was very soft, but in Wu Mingdi’s ears, it sounded like a crack of thunder. His whole mind went blank.
Zhou Xu threw the gun to Mu Xinhua, then picked up the gun in Sun Qingxia’s hand before going to Wu Mingdi’s side. Zhou Xu said, “This gun was the one your sister used to shoot at your head. There are no bullets inside.”
After finishing what he had to say, Zhou Xu opened the barrel of the gun and turned it upside down. Nothing fell out.
Because Zhou Xu had guessed this point, he had wanted to give Sun Qingxia a chance. Unfortunately, Sun Qingxia really was stupid. Even though Zhou Xu told her he would let her be “reborn”, Sun Qingxia still hoped for death in the end.
The definition of stubbornness was probably Sun Qingxia.
Zhou Xu thought that he was still not cruel enough. If he were really cruel, he would have let Wu Mingdi directly kill Sun Qingxia at that time. Maybe Wu Mingdi’s pain would have been more intense.
Zhou Xu shook his head ruefully and swore that he would never have such kindness again. Sun Qingxia, that kind of stupid woman, didn’t know what repenting meant at all.
At this moment Wu Mingdi was shocked silly. Ding Zhaolin who was standing by the door also became silly. Neither of them could have thought that Sun Qingxia had intended to die from the start.
Wu Mingdi hysterically scooped up Sun Qingxia’s body from the ground and bitterly wailed to the sky.
On this day he went through too much. His emotional changes were like riding a roller coaster. One moment it was climbing slowly and the next moment, it went through a dramatic change. At this moment, he was really at the bottom, and no matter what, he could not get out of it.
He had cared for Sun Qingxia very much since childhood. He had taken care of her as if she were a porcelain doll, fearing that she would suffer a little injustice.
The love Wu Mingdi had for Sun Qingxia had been sincere from the start, which was also why he was so miserable. He didn’t understand why Sun Qingxia would do that.
It was because Wu Mingdi was sincere that Sun Qingxia had been so conflicted. She had always lived tortured between wrath and gratitude. She was so tired.
For Sun Qingxia, perhaps death was a kind of relief. Because her love for Wu Mingdi was sincere, but Wu Mingdi’s so-called like was not the kind of like Sun Qingxia wanted. Wu Mingdi’s like was not love.
A man did not easily shed tears until his heart was broken.
At that moment, Wu Mingdi’s tears had already drowned him. He didn’t know how to save Sun Qingxia nor did he know how to save himself.
Too lazy to look any further, Zhou Xu glanced at Mu Xinhua. They both looked at each other, nodded their head, then left hand in hand.
When they left, neither of them looked once at Ding Zhaolin.
This complete neglect once again stimulated Ding Zhaolin. His heart ached, Ding Zhaolin could not understand why Zhou Xu could have everything. Why?
Looking back at Wu Mingdi who was crying like a madman in the room, Ding Zhaolin found that he really hated Wu Mingdi. Because Wu Mingdi was a megalomaniac and felt that the world should revolve around him. Unfortunately, while he was arrogant, he had no strength to back his arrogance.
If he was the former Ding Zhaolin, he would have probably felt very happy because with Sun Qingxia dead, he had a chance to become Wu Mingdi’s real wife. However, at that moment, he only felt pity towards Wu Mingdi.
No matter if it was watching Sun Qingxia being killed or killing her himself, Wu Mingdi would live in guilt and regret for the rest of his life.
It was obviously his beloved little sister, why did he have to doubt her, why did he want to pull the trigger? If it wasn’t for Zhou Xu, he would have pulled the trigger.
Only, there was no if in life, and it was impossible to start over. What was lost was lost, never to be found again…
Ding Zhaolin kept looking at Wu Mingdi because he didn’t know what he was thinking himself.
Wu Mingdi finally didn’t have any strength to continue crying. He slowly looked up and saw Ding Zhaolin standing quietly at the door with his head down. Suddenly his heart warmed. Yes, he still had Ding Zhaolin, the wife he had married.
In order to save him, this wife was even misunderstood by him. But even if he was misunderstood, he still came back…
Wu Mingdi started to believe in Ding Zhaolin. He believed that Ding Zhaolin didn’t know the matter of Sun Qingxia seeking death. He believed that Ding Zhaolin acted for his good. He believed that Ding Zhaolin would never leave him in the future. He thought that he still had hope in his life, so he whispered, “Zhaolin, come here.”
When Wu Mingdi started to talk, he found out that his voice was as hoarse as an old man’s, not gentle nor kind at all. On the contrary, it came out like an order.
Ding Zhaolin raised his head and looked at Wu Mingdi. He was unexpectedly very calm. He went to Wu Mingdi and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Cough, Zhaolin, I’m sorry. I was wrong about you.”
Ding Zhaolin stared blankly at Wu Mingdi who continued to talk, “Zhaolin, I thought you would leave me, I didn’t expect that you would return.”
“En.”
“Thank you, Zhaolin. I wronged you, but I won’t do it again. I will never be stupid again.”
Ding Zhaolin nodded and replied softly, “Okay.”
Wu Mingdi’s heart was getting warmer and warmer. At that moment, he found that Ding Zhaolin was really very good — quiet, gentle, tolerant, also very good-looking. It seemed that all the good words in the world could be used to describe Ding Zhaolin.
In Wu Mingdi’s eyes, what mattered was his changes. However, in Ding Zhaolin’s eyes, this transformation would never be a good one. Wu Mingdi only looked for someone else to be a substitute, and Ding Zhaolin was exactly that substitute. This idea made Ding Zhaolin despise Wu Mingdi even more.
In the end, Sun Qingxia had only died in vain. Even if there were people coming to investigate, both Mu Xinhua and Zhou Xu weren’t afraid. Because at that time, Zhou Xu’s life had really been in danger.
Since then, Wu Mingdi was depressed for a long time. Every day, he would only feel better after seeing Ding Zhaolin. His parents also learned about Sun Qingxia’s deeds. Ultimately, they heaved a long sigh and dropped the matter.
Just like that, Sun Qingxia died. Several months after her death, Wu Mingdi walked out of her shadow. The world was still the same, nothing had changed.
Zhou Xu and Mu Xinhua also went back to the military. Only, after they went back, Mu Xinhua suddenly became very busy and often didn’t have time to go home.
While staying in the nuptial room given by the Empire, Zhou Xu was very depressed. He didn’t like to solve his own physiological needs, but Mu Xinhua was so busy that he also couldn’t say anything.
But after Zhou Xu finally understood why Mu Xinhua was so busy, he laughed. Mu Xinhua worked so diligently because he wanted to stay with Zhou Xu from day to night.
Mu Xinhua was a general and had to lead people. The matters in his hands were numerous. However, if he was promoted to the rank of marshal of the Empire, it would be different. First, the marshal could inspect any army at will. Mu Xinhua would be able to “inspect” Zhou Xu’s team every day. Second, every decision made by the marshal was not decided by one person, but only by the majority. If the other four old men were okay with the decision, there would be no problem even if Mu Xinhua was not present.
In short, in order to stick to Zhou Xu, Mu Xinghua was also working hard.
After 6 months, Mu Xinhua was finally promoted to a marshal of the Empire. Zhou Xu once again broke the rules and was promoted to major general because of his special exploits.
General officers were generally considered the pinnacle of the army, and Zhou Xu was only in his early twenties. Even Mu Xinhua had only been a field officer in his twenties. Once again, Zhou Xu’s fame spread in the army, and at the same time, it spread among the common people.
TN : Tsk, tsk, Wu Mingdi, Wu Mingdi, how can you change so fast?
I think you’re all fed up with people mentionning the Covid-19, but I hope everyone is well ~
