Chapter 8 Duan Yu

  The first siege failed.

  History has proven that even two infatuated lovers and a romanticist cannot break through the thin paper between men and women, so the leader Linghu Chong had to send more troops. Until the map added three armies: Yang Kang of the third army, Ouyang Ke of the fourth army, Lin Pingzhi of the fifth army, Duan Yu still hadn't said a word to Wang Yuyan.

  Duan Yu, this silly kid, was sandwiched among a group of military romance fanatics, with a feeling of being on the verge of tears.

  An opportunity arose when Guo Jing returned from Mongolia. In terms of romance, Guo Jing himself had extremely low combat power and could only be said to be a lucky general, originally unable to help Duan Yu in any way. However, Huang Rong, who always appeared before and after him, was different.

  "What? Wang Yuyan?" Huang Rong's eyes were already big, and now they stared wide, just like those cartoon characters with eyes that take up half of their face.

  Duan Yu wiped off the spittle that Huang Rong had spat onto his face. Linghu Chong nodded: "You know her?"

  "Huang Rong rolled her eyes: 'Know? More than just know, we were in the same kindergarten class, I knew her when I was three years old. When my dad went out, he would often leave me at their house to sleep with her.'"

  "Sleep with Wang Yuyan?" Linghu Cong exclaimed, "How romantic!"

  "Isn't that right?" Yang Kang pondered for a moment, "You're not three years younger than Wang Yuyan, are you? How did you end up in the same class as her in kindergarten?"

  "She cries well, so she's always in the small class."

  At this time, the protagonist of the story setting was completely excluded from the screen, leaving only a group of good people rushing around.

  "Chasing Wang Yu Yan? It's hopeless." Huang Rong pouted, "There are many people chasing her. In middle school, she often told me that she received love letters and didn't dare to tell her family, so she secretly threw them away outside."

  "It's estimated that the girls in their dormitory don't need to buy paper for drafts, Wang Yuyan's daily collection of love letters is almost enough." Tian Boguang said on the side. Whenever he found a lively scene, he would run to Guo Jing and his friends' dormitory every day.

  "It's not that exaggerated, but the love letters she received might be enough to fill a scale."

  "Alas," Linghu Chong sighed, "send a message to the old man and have him dispatch an airplane. Without air support, we can't defeat Wang Yuyan."

  "Call sister, call sister, call sister and I'll introduce you to Wang Yuyan." Huang Rong looked at Duan Yu's honest and naive appearance, slyly smiling. She just liked honest and naive things, such as wooden benches, hamsters, Guo Jing...

  "Alas, it's nothing, just looking at a girl. What's the big deal?" Duan Yu waved his hand listlessly, "Old Linghu said I'm like something."

  Huang Rong blinked her eyes in confusion as Duan Yu walked out with a dejected expression.

  Duan Yu wasn't unwilling to talk to Wang Yuyan, but the only time he met her in the cafeteria, she softly said to him: "Sorry, classmate, please make way." That's all, and Duan Yu's heart was hot for a long time.

  But every time he thought about why he wanted to pursue Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu felt very perplexed. Compared to many people, Duan Yu was indeed a bit naive and romantic, he felt that just because a girl looked good, it was a bit shameless to go all out to chase her down. Moreover, pulling strings everywhere to chase someone seemed more like the behavior of a schemer, which completely didn't match the feeling in his heart when he first saw Wang Yuyan.

  Those days, Duan Yu would often sneak away to the library to study alone. During summer vacation, the study room was empty and quiet, so Duan Yu would lie on the table with his head down, thinking about why he liked Wang Yuyan. But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with any other reason except that Wang Yuyan was beautiful. Looking at girls was just a hobby of his, but when it came to actually falling in love, Duan Yu became serious.

  He lay there for two hours, until the red sun fell on top of the sports center before packing up his backpack and heading back. Duan Yu never came to a conclusion, but who cared why anyway?

  The map has been drawn to the fourth one, and the summer vacation is about to end, but the battle goal is still far away.

  The campus of Bian Da gradually became lively, and Wang Yu Yan hadn't passed by the building downstairs for a long time. Qiao Feng and A Zhu also returned to school.

  "Yo, Wang Yuyan's Encirclement and Annihilation Strategic Diagram?" Qiao Feng read out the new name that Linghu Chong had given to the map, "Damn, who wants to chase after that chick again?"

  "Huh? The two words 'Ya Tou' are extraordinary, surpassing all boundaries. When Boss uses this term, suddenly the other tens of thousands of Chinese characters seem mundane." Linghu Chong praised, "Does Boss also know him?"

  "Even Wang Yuyan doesn't know what I'm still mixed up in?" Qiao Feng felt good about the praise from Linghu Cong, "You're all too tender, ask the previous generation, even a blind man knows."

  "I first knew that girl when she was still a little girl, two years have passed, and now she's also grown up a bit." Qiao Feng, who is only one grade higher than Wang Yu Yan, hasn't forgotten to show off his experience amidst the crowd.

  "That was it, at that time she was still naive and pure, after being discovered by you, Big Brother, she became mature." Linghu Cong nodded.

  "I'm fed up." Qiao Feng lifted the beer bottle as if to smash it. Ah Zhu was standing behind him at this time, and if he didn't play with Linghu Cong's life, he couldn't show his purity.

  "Alright, alright, let's still take care of Old Five. Just look at this little white face, it's almost withered like a cabbage leaf."

  Duan Yu hadn't even had time to glare at Linghu Chong when Qiao Feng shrugged and said, "Then let's go get a number first."

  "Take a number?"

  "You're stupid? In the big river, there are thousands of people grabbing for a handful, thinking about chasing after Wang Yuyan, at least 8,000 people. Those people organized a suicide squad to go to Mongolia, maybe even Genghis Khan could be caught back. You only know now that you want to chase, but it's already been lined up to number 8,000 and later. If everyone doesn't take a number, wouldn't it become a scramble for the school flower? Are you sharing wives like in communism?" Qiao Feng said with a serious expression.

  "Eight thousand......" Linghu Cong smacked his lips, "All the eligible men in Bianjing can't even add up to that number, Big Brother, you've never had any intention of doing it?"

  "It's not that there wasn't," Qiao Feng took a deep breath, and with a sentimental smile, softly said, "In the past, we were once together..."

  Qiao Feng shook his head with emotion: "...... after having braised pork in brown sauce."

  A Zhu suddenly realized that Qiao Feng was teasing her, and she burst out laughing first, and the whole room full of people also laughed uncontrollably.

  "Leave some opportunities for younger brothers," Qiao Feng said with a commanding tone, waving his hand, "Everyone charge!"

  Among the laughter, Linghu Chong inadvertently turned his head and saw Duan Yu standing alone in a daze.

  "What the hell, aren't you guys a bunch of idiots? What are you serious about? Have you also had evil intentions?" Qiao Feng picked up his rice bowl and went with Linghu Chong to get food.

  In the past, Linghu Cong always spoke nonsense, from resisting Mongolian rule to opposing Master Fu's cooking of cockroaches and braised pork together. However, on that day, Linghu Cong's topic for the first three sentences went around in circles, but the last three sentences all revolved around Wang Yuyan, which was a rare moment of seriousness.

  "Alas——" Linghu Cong let out a long sigh. "Look at our old five, he's become so decadent. In the past, every now and then he'd listen to some 'Wang Daniu Da Yu', it was vulgar but also bold and unrestrained. Now he's lost his soul, day and night he keeps listening to that one song 'The Sound of Silence' over and over again, Yang Kang has already gone mad, I'm almost there too."

  "What's there to be afraid of?" Qiao Feng chuckled and said, "When he starts listening to the Diamond Sutra, that's when he'll really be beyond salvation. You can send him to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, then he'll be completely quiet."

  "I'm saying, everywhere is full of girls, a whole bunch of them, why do you have to look at Wang Yuyan like she's a fairy?" Linghu Chong helplessly waved his hand, indicating that there were girls all around.

  A girl walked over from the opposite side, brushing past Linghu Cong's face as she passed by. Linghu Cong's nearsighted eyes scanned her from head to toe, and he suddenly sighed: "But the ones I've seen on the road really aren't very lively..."

  Under two pairs of venomous glares, Qiao Feng and Lin Huong Chong each shivered with cold and hastily retreated.

  When entering the dining hall, Linghu Cong's mind was still on this: "Our old five is not bad either, and it can be considered a small white face. Is there no hope at all?"

  "Hey, look down on us dark-skinned people?" Qiao Feng continued to tease.

  "Stop teasing," Linghu Chong was one of the rare serious ones, "Boss, it's not like you're infatuated at first sight, so of course you'd be smiling happily."

  Qiao Feng's smile faded, and he let out a sigh: "There are many who fall in love at first sight, but not everyone can be together. If they can't be together, it doesn't matter after a while. He still likes Wang Yuyan, what if he liked Li Shishi? Are you going to sneak into the palace and assassinate the emperor to bring Li Shishi back for him?"

  "If I were a master swordsman, I'd enter the palace and help him seize Li Shishi too."

  "You're quite ruthless." Qiao Feng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

  "But isn't he fond of Wang Yu Yan? If I can help, I'll just help a bit."

  "My god, you little brat's really got an old lady's heart, soft to the extreme," Qiao Feng sighed, "That flower idiot in your house, he sends out a flower and gets everyone all worked up, is it necessary?"

  "Anyway," Linghu Chong said with a sidelong glance at Xiweng at the entrance of the dining hall, tapping his icy rice bowl, "it's not wrong to like someone, is it?"

  That day during dinner, Qiao Feng was somewhat absent-minded.
