Arsenal Military Academy

Chapter 69: Masquerade

Back in the dormitory, Xie Xiang was still in the sadness of the past. Guo Shuting's past could not be tolerated by her. From a young general who crossed his horses to a drunk teacher of the Agni militia, she did not know him. How have these years been spent?

While feeling sad, the sound of the water in the bathroom interrupted Xie Xiang's thoughts. When he opened the door, Xie Xiang's face suddenly collapsed. Why did the water pipe leak again?

The troubles of reality defeated the troubles in his mind, Xie Xiang rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and honestly began to repair the water pipe.

Gu Yanframe came back, and put his head into the bathroom, "What are you doing! I brought you food."

"The water pipe is broken again, you can eat it, I don't have time." Xie Xiang looked at the water pipe still spraying with a headache, this kind of technology is not suitable for him, and Gu Yan frame is even more ignorant.

Gu Yanjian ignored her troubles, pulled her out with her collar, sat down on the bed, and stuffed the snack into Xie Xiang's hands, "I'll fix it! You eat!"

He arranged it well, rolled up his sleeves and was full of ambition, and raised his eyebrows at Xie Xiang.

Seeing people enter the bathroom, Xie Xiang held a snack and didn't move, with a look of doubt. Does the spoiled young master really know how to repair water pipes?

Staring at the bathroom for a long time, the sound of the water continued to flow, and it seemed to have a tendency to increase.

Gu Yanjian suddenly poked her head out and glared at her with his beautiful eyes, "Why don't you eat it yet!"

Xie Xiang hurriedly opened the bag, stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth, chewed it out, and Gu Yanframe retracted his head in satisfaction.

There was a splash of water in the bathroom, and Young Master Gu spoke again, "The flower on the table, find a bottle to plug it in."

"Okay!" Xie Xiang answered, stood up with half a snack in his mouth, walked slowly to the table, and was shocked. What caught my eye was full of golden colors, and a sunflower was lying on the table carelessly. .

How can anyone buy flowers and sunflowers? Xie Xiang was disgusted, but obediently found a bottle and plug it in.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Yanjian asked boredly again.

"It's delicious!" Xie Xiangyang replied.

As soon as the voice fell, Li Wenzhong downstairs opened the window and yelled, "Xie Liangchen! Gu Yanframe! What are you doing? Water is leaking! My hot pot!"

Xie Xiang was taken aback by the call and almost choked. He hurried to the bathroom and opened the door. The water in the bathroom ran into a river. Gu Yan stood in the mess and smiled at her awkwardly, "Are you taking a shower?" The water temperature is just right..."

Xie Xiangbai glanced at him, and sure enough, the eldest master wouldn't know how to repair water pipes.

Looking at the currents, I am afraid that Li Wenzhong downstairs not only has no hot pot to eat, but should have been living in Shuiliandong. Gu Yanframe waded into the water and walked out. She was soggy, she was already a soup chicken. Even so, he could laugh out because he saw the sunflowers in the vase, Xie Xiang chewing snacks, and Xie Xiang's helpless smile. .

In the end, Huang Song came to help repair the water pipe, so that the water would not be flooded with the raging fire military academy.

The next few days were calm and calm, and the days were considered comfortable and complete.

Xie Xiang worked harder in his daily training. After Gu Yan didn’t let her frame her, he actually followed up with an attitude of being stubborn. Even Guo Shuting praised him unexpectedly. Xie Xiang didn’t understand what Gu Yan received from her. It's exciting, but his change is always good.

The daily life of the military academy is boring, Xie Xiang has been too lazy to get out of the door, until three days ago Tan Xiaojun received an invitation for a masquerade party, and insisted on pestering Xie Xiang to go with him.

Of course Xie Xiang refused decisively, but he didn't know what Xiaojun had gone mad, and insisted on asking Xie Xiang to accompany him. Looking at Tan Xiaojun's tearful eyes, Xie Xiang responded with a soft heart.

But when she changed into women's clothing, accompanied Tan Xiaojun to the place where the dance party was held, Xie Xiang regretted that this was Banshan Mansion when she looked at the magnificent villa in front of her?

She stared sharply at Xiao Jun, "What is going on?"

Tan Xiaojun dodged his eyes and dared not answer, and led her all the way into the mansion.

"You, I don't know anyway, you will know when you go in."

She picked up one mask and put it on her face, and handed the other one to Xie Xiang, "Come on, the prom is about to begin."

Xie Xiang saw that she was hiding something from herself, and wanted to continue to ask questions. Who knows that Xiao Jun is very shrewd, and with a flash of footsteps, he slid onto the dance floor with another man wearing a black mask.

Xie Xiang had no choice but to put on a mask and stood in the corner idly watching people dancing.

She didn't stand forward, but there were really a lot of people here. Xie Xiang glanced at Tan Xiaojun from time to time, but didn't pay attention to the instability of a person passing by, and the hem of her skirt was drenched by the spilled drink. With a soft cry, she quickly put down the wine glass in her hand and wanted to wipe it with a tissue. A handkerchief was handed to her in time.

The man in front of him was wearing a white suit with a silver butterfly mask on his face. At this moment, he was looking at Xie Xiang quietly, and he was obviously a guest coming to the party.

Xie Xiang didn't care, took the handkerchief and wiped the wine stains, "Thank you, but the handkerchief is dirty, you either."

The man shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then stretched out his hand to Xie Xiang. Knowing that he was inviting the dance, Xie Xiang didn't want to accept it. She was going to sneak away after a while.

"Sorry, I can't dance." She lied.

The man still stretched out his hand, stubbornly doing the inviting gesture.

This kind of unwilling attitude made her feel puzzled. Xie Xiang hesitated. She felt that she owed someone a favor, and it was not good for him to face him in full view, so she had to put her hand on his hand. The man smiled and took Xie Xiang onto the dance floor.

The dance music was soft and beautiful, and the person danced really well, leading her to dance. Gradually, Xie Xiang found that the people on the dance floor had stepped out and stood aside to watch. There were only two of them on the huge dance floor.

The footsteps were messed up, Xie Xiangjue was a little wrong, but luckily the music was about to end, she could leave as soon as possible.

The two ended the dance with a perfect gesture. All the people watching were applauding, but Xie Xiang was not very happy. It was obviously over. Why did he still hold himself and not let go. The close distance made Xie Xiang a little uncomfortable. She pushed, trying to stay away from the man in front of him, but his waist was tighter. He leaned slightly, lowered his head, and whispered to Xie Xiang. , "Can't you recognize me?"

When Xie Xiang heard the voice, he was stunned and looked at him blankly.

She saw that the silver butterfly mask was taken off, and Shen Junshan's white and handsome face was revealed. He smiled at Xie Xiang, his smile is rare gentleness, his eyes are also rare and affectionate, "But I recognize you, although A little late."

He put his hand on Xie Xiang's mask, Shen Junshan took it off, then lowered his head, closed his eyes, breathing closer and closer, Xie Xiang's body stiffened, and he instinctively tilted his head back.

No, absolutely not.

Xie Xiang pushed him away hard, only feeling that everything in front of her was not real, and she couldn't face such a Shen Junshan at all.

The surrounding lights were dazzling her eyes, and Shen Junshan's affectionate expression made her feel uncomfortable. The voice gradually became louder, and Shen Junshan before her seemed real and imaginary.

Shen Junshan refused to let her go, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you happy?"

Happy to be confessed in front of so many people, or happy that he recognizes himself. Xie Xiang found it absurd. She admitted that she had always regarded Shen Junshan as a very special person and placed it in a very special place. But... he is not Gu Yan frame, the two of them are completely different.

Xie Xiang suddenly felt guilty, turned and ran out of the hall.

When the magnificent house was no longer visible, Xie Xiang stopped, panting for breath. Tan Xiaojun chased him, panting, and it took him a long time to speak, looking at Xie Xiang with a look of guilt, "Xiang Xiang, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Young Master Shen Er to treat you like this."

Xie Xiang raised his head and looked at her, slightly aggrieved, "What did he tell you?"

Tan Xiaojun confessed honestly, "He said he asked me to bring Xie Liangchen's sister to the ball. This is a mask ball. It's my first time to participate!"

Hearing this, Xie Xiang finally let go of his hanging heart. Just now Shen Junshan said that he recognized her. Xie Xiang thought he had recognized his identity as a woman disguised as a man. Fortunately, he hadn't noticed yet.

However, his feelings for Xie Xiang were also a problem. Xie Xiang's heart sank again. He hurriedly said goodbye to Xiaojun, stopped a rickshaw and returned to the military academy.

The car drove against the wind, and the cool wind blew on Xie Xiang's face. But no matter how strong the wind is, the troubles in Xie Xiang's heart can't be blown away. For some reason, she just wants to go back to the dormitory, take a look at the sunflower, and then take a look at its owner.

She remembered a lot of the time she spent with Shen Junshan. She really couldn’t figure out why people like Shen Junshan would like "Xie Xiang" who had only met a few times. The charm of this "Xie Xiang" is so great, isn't it? Some are too inexplicable.

Since the prom event, Xie Xiang could no longer look directly at Shen Junshan, and even avoided walking when he saw each other. For this, Shen Junshan didn't feel strange at all, but frowned when he saw her.

Maybe he just thought that as Xie Xiang's brother, he was against his feelings for Xie Xiang?

Xie Xiang has a headache. As classmates, friends, and comrades in arms, can't you maintain this simple relationship? Why do you have to give birth to feelings that shouldn't be born.

Finally, Shen Junshan stopped her on the small road in the cafeteria.

"Xie Liangchen, why are you always avoiding me lately?"

This is really a feng shui turn. I think at the beginning, this was what Xie Xiang asked him. Xie Xiang lowered his head, still unable to look at him directly, and said perfunctorily: "I don't have one, you think too much."

In deathly silence, for a long time, a note was handed to Xie Xiang. The seal of the military academy above was bright red. It was obviously a new one. Xie Xiang was taken aback and then took a closer look.

This is... the approval letter for changing the dormitory?

Xie Xiang's face sank, and finally he was willing to raise his head and look at Shen Junshan, "What does this mean? Why do I need an instructor to change my dormitory?"

"Now that you and Gu Yan frame so much rumors, don't you care?" Shen Junshan looked at her directly with no shame in his eyes: "Everyone is friends, and I like your sister again. It's normal to do a little favor. .Unless, Gu Yan and you are really..."

"Of course not!" Xie Xiang denied, but she didn't feel like it in her heart. She really wanted to say yes. She wanted to tell Shen Junshan and tell everyone that she just likes Gu Yan frames. But her identity does not allow her to do so, so she can only bury these words in her heart.

"That's good." After hearing this answer, Shen Junshan's expression relaxed a little, and his words became more frequent. "Let me help you move the dormitory. It is very troublesome for you to move alone..."

"No need." Xie Xiang interrupted him, rejected him for the first time, and left without looking back.

She was very angry. This anger made her only pack her bags in silence and silently perform what others "think", just to protect her invisible identity and the inability to show everyone's feelings.

Packed things up, standing in front of the door carrying the box, Xie Xiang looked at the room reluctantly, the sunflower on the table was constantly swinging by the wind, as if beckoning her to come back. Xie Xiang relented, closed the door, and left with his luggage.

Everything is fine in the new dormitory. There is only one person, spacious and bright, and there is no need to worry about being found out of his identity. This is the environment Xie Xiang dreamed of when the school started.

As soon as the clothes were put in the cabinet, there was a heavy slamming of the door outside. There was no need to think about it, except for Gu Yanjian.

Pushing the door open, Gu Yanframe hugged Xie Xiang, his face was still a little frightened, "You scared me to death, I thought Li Wenzhong did something to you..."

Xie Xiang craned his neck and looked out the corridor. Li Wenzhong was standing not far away looking at the two men bitterly. The fist marks on his face had not disappeared. He rubbed his face and then shook his fist at Xie Xiang, but After all, he endured it and said nothing, and left with his head buried.

Why is it always me who is injured? Li Wenzhong thought very sadly on the road. He thought everyone would fight together and become good brothers.

Only then did Xie Xiang understand, Gu Yanframe probably thought she was exposed by Li Wenzhong before leaving. An apologetic smile at Li Wenzhong, Xie Xiang pulled Gu Yan frame back to the dormitory.

Gu Yanframe glanced at the neatly packed house, and asked dumbly, "It's not Li Wenzhong, that's Shen Junshan who asked you to move?"

Xie Xiang gritted his teeth and was silent. Gu Yanframe saw her like this, gnashing his teeth and moving his wrists, looking desperately looking for Shen Junshan.

So she turned a corner when she said, "I want to move it myself!"

Gu Yanframe stopped and looked back at her, her eyes were full of disbelief. Xie Xiang didn't dare to look at his eyes, lowered his head and muttered, "Now there are people everywhere talking about me and you, I, I don’t. Love to listen."

Of course this is a lie. What she said is uncomfortable, and people who listen to it will probably not feel it.

Gu Yan looked at her with scorching eyes, and sighed for a while.

His father was humiliated and himself humiliated. He never showed the pain, but was concealed with anger and arrogance. But now, when Xie Xiang said that she was leaving the dormitory by herself, he couldn't hold back his red eyes.

Although she didn't say anything, she accepted herself in action. She would show him so different eyes and smile so softly and beautifully.

Why did everything change overnight. Gu Yanjian couldn't figure it out, he clenched his fists tightly. He is the son of the Gu family, the top student in the Agni Military Academy, and he is passionate and passionate, and there are not many girls who like him.

But there was only one Xie Xiang in his heart, filled with her. In this burning world, she was the only one he wanted to protect in his arms.

Gu Yanjian left. Gu Yanjian didn't come to her again for a whole day. Afterwards, even if she met in class, she didn't speak, and she didn't even bother to show her alms.

Xie Xiang was very depressed and unhappy. He didn't know how to explain to Gu Yanframe so that he would neither be angry nor trouble Shen Junshan.

At night, Xie Xiang finally knocked on the door of Gu Yanframe's dormitory. The words of apology had been rehearsed in private for a day, but Gu Yanframe did not give her a chance to perform. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door.

Huang Song came out carrying a thermos and saw Xie Xiang stop. "Are you here to find Gu Yan? Somehow he lost his things downstairs. I have been looking for it downstairs in the dormitory for a day."

Xie Xiang ran out in a hurry. It was already dark. Gu Yanframe was walking around on the lawn with a flashlight. The flashlight didn't light up much, but I wonder how long he had been looking for it. Xie Xiang walked over to him. Just after walking a few steps, he found that something under his feet was slightly reflecting in the moonlight. When he picked it up, it was a button, which was worn with a thin silver cord to make a necklace.

Xie Xiang held the necklace and looked at Gu Yanjian blankly. His heart was sour and astringent. This button was jokingly given to him on Gu Yanjian's birthday. As a result, when he got up the next day, he found that his shirt was really missing a button. Xie Xiang didn't expect that he would make a necklace and wear it on his body.

He must have been out of anger yesterday, otherwise how could he have lost the necklace.

She wanted to stop him, she wanted to make it clear to Gu Yanframe, she wanted to see him smile at herself, and she wanted to tell him that she actually didn't want to leave.

Rumble!

A roar came from the direction of the city center, the fire blazed into the sky, and the smoke billowed, turning half of the night into a scorching crimson.

This sudden and great change made the people of the Agni Fire Military Academy stunned. Even Gu Yanframe couldn't even bother to look for the necklace. He turned his head and saw Xie Xiang's panicked eyes in the flames. He stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

The most recent fire was not far from them, and when everyone rushed to the Shannan Tavern, the place had been burned to ruins.

Standing in front of the tavern, Guo Shuting watched these broken walls quietly. The fire in the city center was still burning, reflecting the tears on Guo Shuting's face.

Huo Xiaoyu, perhaps really left.
