Ch17 - Cheers to friendship

After learning that Gu Huan agreed to the exercise invitation of the Second Military Academy.

The students of the First Military Academy were extremely excited.

Because they can finally take a breath of anger. As the saying goes, beauty comes from distance, and when the distance is close, it is easy to make troubles. They have endured those evil neighbors for a long time!

The excitement of being able to punch someone annoying right off the bat kept many students awake, so much so that they trained with dark circles under their eyes. 

But the instructors failed to comprehend their feelings.

“Recently, the students are under a lot of pressure, and they all look like they haven’t slept well. Maybe they are too worried about the next drill?”

Listening to the reports made by the instructors in front of him, Gu Huan quickly made a speech. Order, all staff take a day off, but they are not allowed to leave the training camp.

Although the brainwaves of the instructors and the students were not in the same circuit at all, the children burst into laughter when they heard about the holiday, and no one explained to the instructors that they were actually not under pressure, so they just enjoyed their vacation.

Gu Huan thought that he could have a more peaceful time to deal with important matters on such a day when all the staff rested, but he was suddenly disturbed by the man with his hands on the table.

Gu Huan raised his jaw slightly, “Brigadier General Chu Lin, I remember you can rest today.”

“…”

“Is your rest just to stay with official duties? General.” 

Chu Lin looked at him with pity, he seemed to be saying:

—General, you don’t have any entertainment, do you?

He frowned slightly.

No one can stand the challenge, especially when he is a general. 

So, in the fringe area of ​​the entire star, at the entrance of a bar that can definitely be called a dirty and messy slum, suddenly appeared a black-haired man who seemed out of place here. He had a good demeanor, a calm and self-possessed look, wearing an ordinary white shirt and trousers, but his figure was extremely slender and perfect. The depressed beta that happened to pass by, looked at him with malicious eyes, especially around his waist and hips.

Although… he looks like an alpha through and through.

Gu Huan could feel those overly enthusiastic gazes.

But he was very puzzled, why are they looking at him like that, he didn’t reveal his pheromone, and he wasn’t in heat, why they looked at him with such explicit eyes? 

While he was wondering. Suddenly, those explicit sights faded away, and the restless voice also faded away.

Gu Huan felt something in his heart and raised his head, looking straight ahead.

The black broken haired person fell into his eyes, and he walked in front of him step by step.

Gu Huan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tip of his nose was surrounded by the strong alpha pheromone with the aroma of wine, which made every cell of him want to stay away from the other party, yet there was no superfluous expression on his face and he just said lightly: 

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“Tbe’gf ijaf.”

“Let go.” 

“In this kind of place, if you stand alone for so long, some people will think that you are here to use your body for business.” A hoarse laughter overflowed from his voice. Chu Xinglin motioned Gu Huan to look around.

Gu Huan looked to the side.

A few well-dressed and glamorous betas immediately cast resentful glances at him.

Not only did some people misunderstand that he was here to do business, but some thought he was here to steal business! 

He just saw someone, but he thought they were waiting for someone, yet he was the one who misunderstood.

Gu Huan had nothing to say, he tried his best not to be so stiff, as Chu Xinglin hugged him and walked inside.

Relative to him, Chu Xinglin acted too familiar with the road, and even greeted the bartender in a friendly way.

He suddenly remembered the other party’s self-introduction, a brigadier general from a remote planet, maybe it might be true. He is really familiar with them… 

Gu Huan was silently dragged by Chu Lin and walked inside.

“Chu Lin.”

A young man’s voice suddenly came from behind.

Gu Huan paused and looked sideways at the person next to him. 

Chu Xinglin let go of Gu Huan’s arm, turned around, and recognized him at a glance.

“Fang Yue.”

Standing in front of them was a well-proportioned and slender beta. His eyebrows and eyes were not beautiful, but they were definitely delicate. In this kind of slum, he stood out.

“You finally appeared again.” 

Fang Yue’s voice started to cry, but stopped abruptly when he saw the people around Chu Xinglin, showing a scrutinizing and hostile gaze.

“Who is this person next to you?”

“Your bed partner?”

Fang Yue’s voice was unbelievable. “When you came last time, you clearly said that you didn’t want a bed partner.” 

Looking at the general’s furrowed and colder eyebrows, Chu Xinglin didn’t dare to be vague.

“Only friends.”

The boy living here had a sense of smell like a hunting dog in this respect. He didn’t take Chu Xinglin’s words to heart at all, and directly stretched out his hand to hook Chu Xinglin’s arm, and stuck it against it.

“Since you can be with an alpha, it shouldn’t matter if you add me.” 

Anyway, if AA does it, AB does it, there will be no knots, and there is nothing to worry about if there is no knot.

Fang Yue reached out with the other hand and wanted to hook Gu Huan’s arm, but Chu Xinglin grabbed his wrist with such force that his wrist was pinched blue. He raised his head and wanted to say aggrievedly that he was hurt by the pinch. But he was frightened by Chu Xinglin’s face.

“Don’t touch him.” Chu Xinglin’s hoarse voice seemed to carry some kind of absolute authority, and the alpha pheromones scattered in an instant. Gu Huan turned his head lightly to avoid being affected.

“What are you doing so fiercely? I’m just offering a suggestion.” Fang Yue glanced sideways at Gu Huan, his eyes were burning with fire. 

Every time he walked into the bar, everyone would stare at him, doing a thumbs up.

But this time when he walked into the bar, everyone was staring at another alpha, which made him very upset.

Meeting Chu Lin was a trivial matter.

It’s true that he came here once, he’s generous, in good shape, and he has enough aura, so I want to date him, but after a long time, I don’t think so anymore. 

He just wanted to get back his place from Chu Lin, and when he made an appointment on the bed, he could naturally use his charm to make Chu Lin ignore that expressionless, fake and lofty alpha to the point where he had no sense of existence. Compared to myself, that alpha must be as boring as a dead fish in bed.

“Since you don’t want others to watch us, then throw him here and we’ll find another place.” The beta smiled.

The lights in the bar were dim, much more than Gu Huan’s celebration banquet last time.

Shining on Gu Huan’s face, the golden eyes seemed neither happy nor angry, but Chu Xinglin could see the displeasure under the ice in Gu Huan’s eyes. 

So, out of the desire to drive away people, he moved closer and directly wrapped his arms around Gu Huan’s waist.

“I said he is my friend, boyfriend, do you understand?”

He blurted out this sentence.

The whistles around him never stopped. 

Some people kicked a fuss to tease them into a kiss, but Gu Huan’s eyes froze and touched his nose

Gu Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at the person standing opposite who was about to cry because of grievance. His teary eyes really didn’t look like a beta, and he said coldly:

“It’s just a joke, you can continue.”

With that said, Gu Huan pulled Chu Xinglin’s hand away from touching him, turned around and left the spot, leaving Chu Xinglin alone. 

Chu Xinglin raised the corners of his lips, smiling brightly, and ordered two cans of beer from the bartender.

“…My boyfriend is shy. You guys keep drinking, I’ll go find him.”

Against the resentful woman’s gaze of Fang Yue.

Chu Xinglin caught up with Gu Huan who had gone far away and chased him until he reached the balcony of the bar, only to find Gu Huan. He was leaning on the balcony and looking out. This was the only thing that this bar could praise – a wide-view. From the open-air balcony, you can see a piece of pure white snow. Chu Xinglin also felt that it was different from the chaos and filth just now. Such a clean scenery was suitable for the person beside him. 

As the night fell and the wind eroded from all directions, Chu Xinglin looked at the position of the railing and just stood beside Gu Huan, passing a can of beer at an arm’s length away. Beer, a primitive thing, could only be bought in this barren star bar, so he had come here because he was greedy for it.

“Are you angry?”

Gu Huan ignored him and said without turning his head or taking the beer,

“You have chosen a good place.” 

“…”

“Drink?”

Chu Xinglin asked, but the other party didn’t answer, so he shrugged, held a beer in his hand, pressed it against his face, and warmed it up.

“You don’t like this place either. It has torn the veil of the empire. But do you know why this place has become like this?” 

Gu Huan frowned slightly, “The weather here has been bad since before, and it can’t develop.”

Chu Xinglin couldn’t deny it and nodded.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But this is not the only reason that made the situation worse.” 

Gu Huan didn’t interrupt, listening to Chu Xinglin.

“It is those interstellar pirates who made this planet look like this.”

“A long time ago, they poached and stole the energy here endlessly, selling it on the black market.”

“They made a lot of money, and left. But it is a desolate star with a worse environment after losing energy.” 

“At this moment when the Zerg doesn’t appear often, they are the real moths.”

“And the person who nourishes these moths is Chu Fengyuan.” Chu Xinglin turned his eyes when he said this. When it fell on Gu Huan, the word Chu Fengyuan had a particularly accentuated sound.

Gu Huan probably understood what kind of Hongmen banquet this time was.

It is possible that Chu Lin discovered through investigation that he had some relationship with Chu Fengyuan, which is why he treated him so badly. 

In fact, there was no need for the other party to persuade him to recognize Chu Fengyuan’s true colors, because he already knew that Chu Fengyuan was not a good person.

But now that the original owner has done that kind of thing to the prince, even if he wants to get away from Chu Fengyuan, he could not get away, because the other one would not make an easy time for him.

Even if it wasn’t his intention.

When the prince comes back, he will take the knife from him. 

He has no interest in apologizing for the original owner, he just did it, he has no guilt towards the prince, and he isn’t the white-eyed wolf, so what does the prince’s hatred have to do with him? After leaving, he can die as the original owner. Anyway, he also died in the novel.

“I’ve already stood on the cliff.”

The young general lightly closed his eyes, and the snowy wind blew his long black hair up, like expensive silk and satin, which shimmered in the moonlight, and he lowered his head slightly. “I did an unforgivable thing.”

“What if he is willing to forgive you?” 

As he spoke, Chu Xinglin took a can of warm beer and handed it to Gu Huan.
