The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King Chapter 818 822: Lost Youth

Silly girl, am I really worth waiting for like this? Luo Chao cried out in his heart. He wanted to embrace this devoted girl, but he dared not. He had experienced too much—rciless slaughter, the tragic death of comrades, his hands stained with blood. Luo Chao did not want to return to the past, to that pure era, to possess a woman like Shen Birong, pure and flawless. He feared contaminating her.

Luo Chao turned his head away, pretending he hadn't seen her, his clenched fists almost digging blood from his own palms.

Just as Luo Chao was about to leave, Shen Birong quickly approached, holding a pencil knife in her hand. She crouched down and gently carved on the tree.

"Luo Chao, just as I feared most, even if we truly et again, you are married. I am unwilling, I am really unwilling, but what can I do? Should I tear your family apart? I can't! Yet I don't regret waiting for you all these years. I am willing to keep myself for you, until the end of my life."

Shen Birong carved gently, crystal tears gently falling down her cheeks, sparkling like waves under the sun. Luo Chao's heart was breaking, two tears slipped down his cheeks and fell into his mouth, the salty taste unfamiliar, not knowing how long it had been since he last cried.

"Are you writing and carving on the tree like this, don't you have any sense of public spirit?" Luo Chao teasingly said with a mischievous smile.

Shen Birong wiped away her tears, hiding the pain in her heart, smiling gently, "No, my carving is very small; it won't harm the tree."

"Let's go," Luo Chao looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, saying softly.

"I want to see our classroom, can you accompany ?" With tears still fresh on her face, Shen Birong's pitiful look made it impossible for Luo Chao to refuse, he gently nodded, "Alright."

Luo Chao and Shen Birong went to their classroom, even though the classroom had been renovated, desks and blackboards replaced, Shen Birong vaguely rembered her usual seat, the first row reserved for outstanding students.

Shen Birong looked to the last row and smiled, "Luo Chao, your grades were excellent, but each ti you chose a seat, you always picked the last row, sitting with those who didn't love to study."

In high school, seats were chosen based on grades. The top scorer had the first choice, then so on and so forth. Hence, seats symbolized a student's performance; those with good grades would fight to sit at the front. But Luo Chao was unique, his grades were always in the top, yet he always chose the last row.

Luo Chao smiled, "Sitting in the last row makes it easier to sleep."

Shen Birong seed to recall sothing, covering her mouth, she laughed quietly, "I rember then, whenever you slept, the teacher would call on you to answer questions. You'd always wipe your drool first, yet you'd always answer correctly, leaving the teacher with no solution for you."

"Hehe," Luo Chao laughed along. Those tis were truly happy, he was clever, once having consolidated the textbook knowledge, he could easily solve any problem applying it. Therefore, his grades were always excellent, allowing him to sleep with all the teachers turning a blind eye.

Luo Chao couldn't help but admit, back then he was quite the show off, loving to fight, loving to smoke, sleeping in class yet excelling academically, envied by all.

Shen Birong lowered her head, "If I hadn't hard you, you surely would have gotten into a prestigious university."

At this mont, Shen Birong wore a face full of guilt. If she had discovered her false pregnancy earlier, perhaps Luo Chao wouldn't have had to join the army. With his cleverness, he would surely have been very successful.

Luo Chao said calmly, "It's not about harm, you said it yourself, it was just a misunderstanding. Don't linger on this matter anymore. Even if I didn't attend university, I'm living well now, not worrying about food and clothing."

Shen Birong wanted to say, if you had gone to university, maybe we'd have been married with children now, but she didn't dare to speak it out, fearing that Luo Chao would never want to see her again.

"As long as you don't bla , I will be happy." Shen Birong wore a smile, years of gloom instantly dispersed.

At this mont, Luo Chao's phone rang, it was Ning Wanxi calling, "Luo Chao, where are you now?"

"I'm at Nanning Town High School!"

"I just arrived at Nanning Town, I'll be there soon, wait for at the gate."

After saying this, Ning Wanxi hung up the phone, Luo Chao felt warmth in his heart, this ice beauty wife was indeed cold outside but warm inside, his guess was right.

Luo Chao turned his head towards Shen Birong, "I need to go."

"It was your wife calling, wasn't it?" Shen Birong bit her lip, her heart ached, but she forced a smile, speaking softly.

Luo Chao nodded, "Let walk you to the school gate."

Shen Birong and Luo Chao left the old school building, just about to squeeze through the dog hole when they discovered the school gates were open. Choosing a dog hole when the gate was open would surely lack intelligence. They walked towards the gate, a security guard erged from the gatekeeper's room—a benevolent old man with snowy hair, he laughed, "Xiao Shen, I didn't open the gate, how did you get in here?"

At this mont, Shen Birong's face turned rosy, even a bit burning, shyly said, "I climbed in."

The old security guard squinted at Luo Chao, this young man is truly handso, with a sturdy build, standing next to Xiao Shen, they fit well!

"Xiao Shen, is this your sweetheart?" The old guard laughed.

Shen Birong's face turned even hotter, burning, she shook her head, "You've got it wrong, he's an old classmate of mine, also studied here in high school."

"Not now, but he might be in the future," The old guard laughed heartily, seeing Xiao Shen's blushing, he hesitated to tease more, changing the topic, "Xiao Shen, I'll retire soon, next year, I can't open the gate just for you anymore."

Shen Birong said softly, "Next year, I won't be coming back either."

Turns out Shen Birong always entered the school this way, never needed to squeeze through a dog hole, Luo Chao's heart felt uncomfortable, his mood was like an overturned jar of mixed flavors, difficult to express.

The old guard nodded, "Hmm, after so many visits, even if it's your alma mater, you must have seen enough."

In the first year, during the May Day holiday, Shen Birong returned to her hotown from university, worried about the school being closed on May Day, she specifically sought out the old guard, hence they got acquainted. In a flash, six years had passed.

"Uncle Yang, goodbye," Shen Birong shook her head, while Uncle Yang said to the silent Luo Chao, "Young man, Xiao Shen is a good girl, seize the chance!"
