Gu Ningxuan felt that there was sothing off about how he opened his eyes this morning. Otherwise, why would Su Jiang ask him about his eldest brother? Is he tall? Is he handso? Is he strong in battle? How would he know whether the guy is tall, handso, or strong in battle?
When Gu Ningxuan was born, his eldest brother had already run away from ho for over sixty years. Now, he’s an almost hundred-year-old mature man. For so many years, poor Gu Ningxuan didn’t even know what his second brother Zhang looked like, let alone his mysterious eldest brother.
Asking him these questions was really asking the wrong person. This honest child, Gu Ningxuan, could only honestly reply, "I don’t know."
Prepared for this answer, Su Jiang nodded and let it pass. Instead, it was Gu Ningxuan who was puzzled and asked, "Why is Miss Su... suddenly asking about my elder brother?" This man was quite a taboo subject in the Gu Family.
"It’s nothing. Last night, I suddenly dreamt of a wickedly charming and dominant man making a dazzling entrance. He killed off a group of young girls with just one look, and he claid to be the eldest son of the Gu Family... I was just curious." Su Jiang replied vaguely.
Gu Ningxuan was stunned for a mont. Sohow, he felt like there was sothing wrong with Su Jiang’s words. If she hadn’t been thinking about it during the day, why would she suddenly dream of his elder brother? But seeing that she didn’t want to talk more about it, Gu Ningxuan buried the doubt in his heart, keeping his facial expression unchanged.
"Gu Ningxuan, do you have the dream of becoming a Marshal?" Su Jiang, while coaxing the rarely quiet and obedient Huaixi and Huaifeng, suddenly thought of sothing and turned to ask him, "I think this should be the dream of every passionate young man, right?"
Gu Ningxuan stared at Su Jiang’s face for a mont, then looked away and said dejectedly, "I don’t dare to dream of it."
Hearing him say this, Su Jiang was montarily stunned, then imdiately understood what he ant by those words.
Before the incident, Gu Ningxuan was the hope of the Gu Family. With the Gu Family’s reputation in the Military Departnt and his own abilities, becoming an Admiral or Marshal was only a matter of ti. As Su Jiang said, that was the dream of every passionate young man, including him, despite his cold deanor.
However, what should have been a glorious future was exchanged for the phrase "don’t dare to dream of it," and the emotions behind it could only be truly understood by those involved.
"Hmm... Gu Ningxuan, do you have a friend nad Dongshou Yi?" Switching the topic, she was curious about what kind of guy the previous "unlucky fellow" was to have soone like Gu Ningxuan stick by his side, thinking he couldn’t be as worthless as Su Qinwu described.
Gu Ningxuan’s friendship with Dongshou Yi was no secret, and Su Jiang must have investigated him, so knowing about Dongshou Yi’s existence was normal. Thinking this, she dispelled Gu Ningxuan’s inner doubts, "You’re talking about Yi? Yeah, we are indeed good friends."
They were not just ordinary friends, but confidants who would entrust their lives to each other. After Gu Ningxuan got into trouble, Yi was one of the few friends who still cared and believed in him! It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but giving tily help is invaluable.
True feelings are seen in tis of adversity. Although Gu Ningxuan’s personality was sowhat wooden or even rigid, he had a clear heart and knew who treated him well.
"What’s he like? Is he a conservative and rigid person?" According to Su Qinwu’s description, Dongshou Yi was the epito of a cowardly man, aimless and without ambition! But from Su Jiang’s perspective as an outside observer, Dongshou Yi seed quite decent.
Su Qinwu was a victim of that design, but wasn’t Dongshou Yi one too? Because of this unforeseen disaster, he lost a promising future.
"Yi... I don’t know where you got this information from, but Yi is not a conservative and rigid person at all."
Gu Ningxuan pondered briefly and simply described his friend. A man who appeared gentle but was internally strong, not lacking in ticulousness, with great talent, even comparable to Gu Ningxuan, and whose biggest dream was to beco the Alliance’s number one War God!
After hearing this, Su Jiang was silent. These brothers truly were "comrades in adversity"! Since Dongshou Yi was not conservative and rigid, his eventual diocrity in the other life without Su Qinwu must have been related to the incident at the banquet.
Perhaps, because of the efforts of that Rebirth Sister and Transmigration Sister, Dongshou Yi would shine brightly in this life?
Gu Ningxuan didn’t know what Su Jiang was thinking. Once he finished tidying up, he headed to work. Before leaving, he glanced back and saw Su Jiang gently coaxing the difficult Huaifeng with her body turned sideways. The morning sunlight perfectly highlighted her profile with an almost unreal beauty, stirring so indescribable feeling in his heart.
