Chapter 99 (What Are You Doing Here?) Zhang Dong Confronted Lin Wenxi

“The university counselor has arranged Guo Liang to live in my dormitory and asked me to live here.” Gu Xi said timidly.

“That little bastard is so smart?” Zheng Kai beat the bed.

“You don’t welcome me?” Gu Xi asked.

Zheng Kai stopped talking.

Zhao Yuan once again jumped from the upper bunk and said, “It seems that it is necessary to make plans for a long-term fight.” He then rolled to Lin Wenxi’s bed.

“Wang Xiang, are you serious?” Chen Wanxin almost shouted in a hoarse voice.

“Yes.”

“He does that every night?”

“Yeah, before Gu Xi came to the dormitory, brother Yuan only slept on his upper bunk, but now he sleeps on the lower bunk every day.” Wang Xiang said with a smile.

He then hung up the phone.

Chen Wanxin answered Luo Yang’s call.

“Tell Zhang Dong that Lin Wenxi came back to the campus.” Chen Wanxin said coldly.

On this day, Zhao Yuan was tempted by Zheng Kai to go out to play basketball with him. When Lin Wenxi was practicing calligraphy in the dormitory alone, Wang Xiang suddenly ran in and said, “Wenxi, someone at the gate is looking for you.”

Although Lin Wenxi was puzzled, he wasn’t suspicious about it. He hurried to the gate, slowly approached and saw the figure standing under the sun. The guy had taken off his camouflage military uniform and only wore a gray casual suit. He looked much thinner on his side face. Nevertheless, he stood straight proudly there like a statue of a door-god. He slightly knit his soldierly brows on his solemn face. His military appearance and figure was unabated.

“Zhang Dong, what do you come here for?” Lin Wenxi thought.

Zhang Dong seemed to be unkind, but when he saw Lin Wenxi, his eyes gradually softened. He slowly walked to Lin Wenxi.

Lin Wenxi hadn’t seen Zhang Dong for a long time. Looking at his face, Lin Wenxi found that Zhang Dong seemed to be much more haggard. On his thinner face, there was a more upright nose, but his expression was incomprehensible, showing that he was soft and seemingly disappointed at the same time.

After his eyes drifted for a moment, his face suddenly became very gloomy. He grabbed Lin Wenxi’s collar and roared harshly. “Lin Wenxi! Let’s come straight to the point! You can beat me or kill me as you want, but don’t play dirty behind me!”

“Make yourself clear.” Lin Wenxi looked at Zhang Dong without fear.

“You know what you have done!” Zhang Dong said, striding away.

“Zhang Dong, stop!” Lin Wenxi shouted behind Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong just walked proudly without looking back.

“I am going to kill you now. Will you let me do that?” Lin Wenxi said loudly.

Zhang Dong immediately stopped, slowly turned around and approached Lin Wenxi. With an extremely fierce face, he took a bright Swiss army knife from his waist, handed it to Lin Wenxi and placed it on his own chest, “Do it yourself! Stab deeper!”

Lin Wenxi put away the knife and said, “I have done everything straightforward with a clear conscience! We haven’t seen each other for so long, but you blame me for something I’ve never done as soon as we meet. What do you mean by doing that?”

Zhang Dong pinched both cheeks of Lin Wenxi and said, “Wenxi, you told me to serve our country as a soldier and die in a valuable and meaningful way! But you... It’s my senior year and I’m going to graduate!... Why did you... Why did you do this to me? No matter you want to beat me or kill me, I have no complaints. But you refuse to do that to me again and again... You...”

“Make yourself clear!” Lin Wenxi glared at him.

“Yes, maybe it’s not done by you. It’s the monstrous crime committed by me. I deserve what you did to me. I’m too ashamed to ask you... In my lifetime, I’ve never been afraid of death. I’ve rushed forward wherever there was danger and received countless merits and glory. I thought that I could pay for my crime with them... It turns out that shame is shame, and sin is sin. I have to bear this for a lifetime, right?...” Zhang Dong let Lin Wenxi go. In that instant, he seemed like much older, slightly arching his back.

“Wenxi, I’ve always been rubbish, right? Rubbish should go to those filthy and stinking ditches, right?” Zhang Dong walked step by step.

Lin Wenxi felt several kinds of inexplicable sorrow. He firmly believed that he still hated Zhang Dong who had brought him countless nights during which he was too resentful and painful to fall asleep. Nevertheless, what had happened to Zhang Dong and made Zhang Dong become like this? What did it have to do with him?

Zhao Yuan soon learned about what had happened on that day, and made the following analysis.

“Play dirty, it means that Zhang Dong was framed by someone and blame you for that. The only possibility is that a matter has been known by someone who shouldn’t know it.” Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi, observing his reaction. Zhao Yuan was uncertain whether Lin Wenxi would strenuously resist if he brought up something.

Lin Wenxi looked calm, which did not seem like a forced expression. Wasn’t he angry? Lin Wenxi nodded and approved of Zhao Yuan’s analysis. Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little disappointed.

“No matter who knows the matter, it is bound to have a very serious impact on Zhang Dong, otherwise he will not say so. It only proves that Zhang Dong has lost the thing that he treasures with his life because of this matter.” Zhao Yuan looked a bit serious, and Lin Wenxi’s face gradually darkened.

“What a soldier treasures with his life is nothing more than the honor as a soldier. It’s possible that someone wants to damage his honor and spread this matter to his school. It may make him kept in school under surveillance or even be expelled. I can ask Wanxin to learn about these from military instructor Luo. However, a one-sided statement is unconvincing. There must be some evidence to prove Zhang Dong’s riotous life seven years ago. But who did that? Why? What is the evidence?” Zhao Yuan said, while thinking deeply.

Lin Wenxi was shocked and appreciative of Zhao Yuan’s logical inference, while worrying about Zhang Dong’s situation. At the same time, Zhao Yuan grabbed his hair, wondering why he was so worried about Zhang Dong’s affairs.

Lin Wenxi was depressed, while Zhao Yuan found that he was like a deflated ball which was unable to move at all. In addition to repeatedly telling Gu Xi to accompany Lin Wenxi, he and Zheng Kai just attended classes and played basketball for fun.

“You didn’t fall out again with Zhao Yuan, right?” Gu Xi asked, “When you were unhappy, didn’t he suddenly become extremely cheeky to ask you to whip him? Why does he also seem to be unhappy?”

Lin Wenxi’s face gradually darkened, and he suddenly remembered that when he was tempted that night, he obviously wanted to completely blend with Zhao Yuan, but was seen through by Zhao Yuan. Although Zhao Yuan helped him analyze the reason, after all, did Zhao Yuan care about that? However, he failed to say that when he stayed with Zhao Yuan.

Asked by Gu Xi repeatedly, Lin Wenxi calmed down as if he was unrestrained, and talked about the story between him and Zhang Dong seven years ago.

Gu Xi opened his eyes wide at first, looked unconvinced, held Lin Wenxi’s hand tightly and sighed. Seeing Lin Wenxi seemingly calm down, he joked, “How I wish Zheng Kai could treat me like that.” Lin Wenxi laughed involuntarily.

Gu Xi said anxiously, “I may not be able to think of a reason, but if neither you nor Zhao Yuan think through early, the small problem will turn into a big one and things won’t work out between you! You should know that there is either no problem or a big problem between you!” He then asked again, “Do you mind if others know these?”

Lin Wenxi nodded seriously.

“Wenxi, no matter what happens, you must forgive me for what I am going to do!” Gu Xi said and hurried away.
