Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 107: Going Crazy! Are You Leaving Me and the Children?
The night wind blew in, carrying a slight chill.
The door closed softly, isolating two worlds.
Lin Wan Yi stood alone in the room, holding those two pieces of paper, her heart gradually sinking.
That night, Gu Yanshen did not come back.
At dawn, Wang Xiu’e knocked on Lin Wan Yi’s door with a bowl of chicken soup.
"Wanyi, open the door."
The door opened, and Lin Wan Yi stood at the entrance, her face somewhat pale.
Wang Xiu’e peeked inside the room.
"Where’s that rascal Yanshen? Why haven’t I seen him?"
Lin Wan Yi shook her head.
"He... didn’t come back last night."
The smile on Wang Xiu’e’s face froze.
"What? Didn’t come back all night?"
She pushed the chicken soup into Lin Wan Yi’s hands.
"That brat! He’s grown some guts, hasn’t he! Daring to have a tantrum with you!"
"I’ll find the commander and have him bring that brat back for me!"
As Wang Xiu’e turned to leave, Lin Wan Yi held her back.
"Sister Wang, don’t... he might just want to be alone for a while."
Before she finished speaking, a young orderly stumbled over, his face pale with fright.
"Madam Commander! Mr. Lin!"
The orderly was breathless, stumbling over his words.
"Not... this is bad!"
"The commander... he’s lost his mind!"
Lin Wan Yi’s heart tightened abruptly.
"Where is he?"
"The training ground!"
The orderly’s voice was on the verge of tears.
"The commander has been training since midnight, running the obstacle course dozens of times, now he’s in the mud pit sparring with someone, and won’t listen to anyone trying to stop him!"
"The commissar’s arm was almost dislocated by him!"
"The commander went over, only to be yelled back!"
"His eyes... look like he’s ready to devour someone!"
"If this continues, he’s going to ruin himself!"
Wang Xiu’e gasped.
"What... what kind of madness is this!"
Without another word, Lin Wan Yi turned back inside.
She picked up a baby who had just woken up and wrapped them in a swaddle.
The other baby was still sound asleep; she handed the child to Wang Xiu’e.
"Sister Wang, please watch this one for me."
Wang Xiu’e took the child, looking at Lin Wan Yi’s determined profile.
"Wanyi, you..."
"I’m going to bring him home."
Lin Wan Yi’s voice was soft but carried undeniable strength.
She held the child, walking step by step towards the training ground.
...
The training ground was crowded with people.
Soldiers, officers, even the commander and commissar stood by the mud pit, their faces solemn.
In the center of the mud pit, two figures were wrestling.
One of them was the martial arts champion of the military region.
The other was Gu Yanshen.
He was covered in mud, his uniform torn to shreds, only his pair of blood-red eyes could be seen clearly.
He resembled a trapped beast, every move he made was with full force, no technique, only primal ferocity.
The martial arts champion was retreating step by step, his face full of terror.
"Commander! Stop! Stop now!"
Gu Yanshen turned a deaf ear, swinging another punch with a gust of wind.
The commander stamped his foot anxiously.
"Ridiculous! This is simply ridiculous!"
He shouted at the people beside him.
"What are you standing around for! Go and pull him apart!"
A few soldiers, braced with courage, tried to approach, only to be intimidated by Gu Yanshen’s gaze.
That gaze was devoid of reason, filled only with a frenzy to destroy everything.
No one dared to get close.
Just then, the crowd parted to make way.
Lin Wan Yi, holding her child, calmly walked in.
She wore a clean dress, and the swaddle in her arms was snow-white.
Beside the chaotic dirty mud pit, she looked like a picture that didn’t belong there.
All the noise disappeared.
Every eye was on her.
Lin Wan Yi looked at no one, her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the beast-like man in the mud pit.
She held the child, walking step by step to the edge of the mud pool. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Gu Yanshen’s movements froze.
His mud-streaked face turned towards her, the emotions in his blood-red eyes tumbling, incomprehensible to others.
Lin Wan Yi watched him, the child in her arms moved, letting out a soft whimper.
The entire training ground could only hear this slight sound.
Lin Wan Yi spoke.
Her voice wasn’t loud, but clear enough to reach everyone’s ears.
"Gu Yanshen."
"Come home with me."
...
In the dormitory, it was quiet enough to hear the sound of water dripping.
Lin Wan Yi wrung out the towel and walked to Gu Yanshen.
He sat on the small stool by the bed, like a mud sculpture, motionless.
Since returning from the training ground, he hadn’t spoken a word.
Lin Wan Yi knelt down, wiping away the mud from his face bit by bit.
Beneath the mud were eyes filled with blood and lips pressed into a thin line.
The child in her arms slept uneasily, their little hand grasping at his arm.
Gu Yanshen’s body shook violently.
Lin Wan Yi paused, lifting her head to look into his eyes.
"What are you afraid of?"
The man’s tense body seemed to burst at that question.
He quickly lifted his head, grasping Lin Wan Yi’s shoulders.
The force was so great it made her bones ache.
"Afraid of what?"
His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping against each other.
"Lin Wan Yi! Tsinghua! Beijing University! That’s Beijing!"
He seemed to want to shout out all his fear and grievances, his eyes red with anger.
"You go to Beijing and what about the child and me?"
"Tell me what to do!"
He shook her shoulders, like a helpless child.
"Are you going to abandon us?"
"It’s so good there, so many better than me who can write poetry, speak foreign languages, unlike me, just a rough man only knowing how to fight!"
"Once you’ve seen those people, would you still return?"
"Would you still want the child and me?"
A scorching drop of liquid splashed on Lin Wan Yi’s cheek.
It was his tears.
This indomitable commander, untouched by blood but moved by tears, was crying.
Lin Wan Yi didn’t struggle, nor was she frightened by his strength.
She merely looked at him steadily, at this man who had shed all defenses before her.
She put down the towel, freeing a hand to firmly and tightly embrace him.
She pressed his large head against her shoulder.
Though frail, it was enough to hold all his anxieties.
She didn’t say empty words like "I won’t" or "don’t think too much."
In his ear, with unmatched certainty, she said one sentence.
"We’ll go together."
Gu Yanshen was completely motionless.
He slowly raised his head, bewildered and incredulous, his eyes bloodshot.
"Together?"
His voice trembled.
"But...I am in the military..."
"I can’t leave."
Lin Wan Yi released him, gently cradling his mud-covered face in her hands.
She looked into his eyes, normally clear as water, now gleaming with mischievous brightness.
"Didn’t the commander say last time..."
"There’s a training opportunity in Beijing, isn’t there?"
