Chapter 223 Farewell (2/2)

"Um."

She didn't ask any more questions.

After thinking for a moment, she tilted her small face up again and added, "Let's go check out the cave in the back mountain tomorrow. It's too late today; An Sanchuan should be coming over tonight."

"good."

The warmth within the courtyard is something outsiders can never know.

The two brothers, Yu Hang and Yu Hao, walked down the mountain through the snow, their feet sinking deep into the ground and their feet sinking shallow.

The cold wind felt like knives cutting my face.

Yu Hao, however, did not feel cold at all; a fire was burning in his chest.

He would occasionally reach out and pat the hot little booklet on his chest through his thick cotton coat.

It was given to me by Brother Yu!

This is a parting gift that Brother Yu gave him personally!

More precious than anything else!

As he walked, he happily planned that once he got to the army, he would make sure to lay a solid foundation, and then every night, when everyone else was asleep, he would secretly get up and practice extra!

He wants to become the best soldier and never let Brother Yu down!

Just as he was thinking about his good fortune, suddenly a figure darted out from around the corner and charged straight at him like a madman.

The roads were slippery due to the snow, and Yu Hao was already walking a bit unsteadily. Caught off guard, he let out a scream, his body swayed, and he was about to fall flat on his face.

Yu Hang, who was walking behind Yu Hao, quickly grabbed him and lifted him up.

"Holy shit!" Yu Hao, still shaken, cursed as he regained his footing. "Who is it? Are they crazy?!"

When he looked up, he saw Gu Jinzhou's deadpan face, and his anger flared up instantly.

"Gu Jinzhou? Are you crazy?! You popped out like a ghost, trying to scare your father to death!"

Gu Jinzhou seemed to completely ignore Yu Hao, who was cursing beside him; he looked excitedly at Yu Hang, who had taken a step back.

"Brother Yu Hang! Can I come with you guys this time?"

Yu Hang raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, but remained silent.

Gu Jinzhou didn't care about Yu Hao's attitude and quickly said, "I've already contacted my uncle. My cousin is in the same unit as you. He originally said he would come to pick me up, but he had a last-minute mission. He said you should come here to pick up Yu Hao and I should go with you."

Gu Jinzhou's eldest cousin?

Yu Hang's mind flashed with the name Gu Jinzhou... It seems that Gu Jinzhou's uncle has severed ties with the Gu family.

Thinking of this, Yu Hang glanced at Gu Jinzhou and nodded, "Okay, we'll leave the day after tomorrow afternoon. Go find the captain."

Yu Hao, who was standing next to him, was stunned. He looked at Gu Jinzhou and then at his older brother, and couldn't quite process what was happening.

Gu Jinzhou is going to join the army? He's not planning to marry Shen Yishan anymore?

He blurted out in shock, "You've thought it through? You're not going to marry me..."

"Don't shout!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinzhou suddenly covered his mouth.

Gu Jinzhou's hands were as cold as iron, but his strength was terrifying.

"Don't let anyone hear this!"

Ever since discovering that the jade pendant his grandfather had given him was missing, Gu Jinzhou hadn't had a good night's sleep.

He knew his grandfather, who was so controlling that he was almost pathological, all too well.

Now that the jade pendant is lost, what awaits him is only tighter control and endless coercion.

He didn't want to live a life where he was treated like a pawn anymore!

There's only one way to escape Grandpa's control—join the army!

Go and seek refuge with your cousin, Gu Jinping, who lives with your uncle!

My uncle's family had long since severed ties with my grandfather; they lived far away and formed their own separate group.

He exhausted all his connections before finally getting in touch with Gu Jinping, who was far away in the Southwest Military Region, and received a positive reply.

As long as he can follow Yu Hang and successfully reach the Southwest Military Region, he can enlist and completely escape from that suffocating family!

This is his last chance!

His only lifeline! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
