Chapter 637: Extra Three: Galsang Flower on the Plateau (Part Nine)_1

Li Tao entered the room and saw Chen Gang still standing by the window. He looked at Sun Meng, who was serving the noodles, and sighed internally. A love triangle where she loved him, but he loved another girl.

At night, Chen Gang was lying in bed with his eyes shut, the scenes of his interaction with Lu Weiyi yesterday filled his mind. The light laughter, the sweet kisses, as sweet as they were at the moment, they were causing him intense pain now.

Li Tao looked at Chen Gang who came back yesterday with joy written all over his face. Now, he seemed quite deflated. He couldn’t help advising, "Commander Chen, you shouldn’t take it too hard. That girl yesterday was clearly from a rich family, not the kind that we soldiers of humble origins can aspire to. Besides, it’s popular among the rich to indulge in flings. Don’t take it seriously."

Chen Gang didn’t believe what Li Tao was saying, but the sudden disappearance of Lu Weiyi today had him second-guessing himself. It seemed laughable to him that he only knew her name and cell number, yet he felt that they shared a natural and predestined bond.

Perhaps love was indeed not a luxury he could afford. Thinking about it only made his heart ache. This hurt even more than when Jiujiu got married. Her marriage had left him disappointed, but now with the disappearance of Lu Weiyi, he felt as though his heart had been hollowed out, the pain seeping into every cell of his body.

Early next morning, Chen Gang packed his bags with a faint expression. He, who hadn’t slept all night, didn’t seem to be in a good or bad mood.

Li Tao scratched his head and saw Sun Meng and another comrade, Zhang Hao, coming in, and immediately waved at them, asking them to persuade Chen Gang.

Chen Gang zipped up his suitcase, showing no emotion at all, "Let’s go to the train station."

Sun Meng glanced at Chen Gang, who remained serious the whole journey, and swallowed the words she was about to say.

As Chen Gang stepped onto the train, he couldn’t help but look back, hoping to catch a glimpse of her silhouette in the crowd with the last bit of hope he had left.

Until the train started moving, a wave of despair washed over Chen Gang. He had visited Shen City and somehow managed to lose his heart there.

Lu Weiyi was hiding behind a stone pillar, watching the train move gradually into the distance. She squatted down, burying her face in her palms and began to sob...

Sun Meng looked at Chen Gang, who had remained silent since boarding the train, and couldn’t help saying, "Commander Chen, shall we play cards?"

Chen Gang shook his head, laid on the bunk, and started reading a military book. He came across a note attached to Lu Weiyi’s bank transfer slip. He wanted to throw it away but eventually couldn’t bring himself to, and just closed the book and pretended to sleep, hugging it to his chest.

Upon his return to the base, everyone felt that Commander Chen had changed. He used to be warm and friendly, but now he had become cold and curt. He would often gaze blankly at the field of Galsang flowers; sometimes he would stand for hours.

Half a year had passed, and Chen Gang could still vividly remember Lu Weiyi’s presence in his arms. The soft and fragrant feeling had planted itself deep into his mind, making it impossible for him to forget.

Their short time together was constantly replayed in his mind over the past six months. Her charming laughter, sweet kisses, and soft body were all unforgettable. Every time he thought about these, his heart ached.

Jiujiu wrote to him every month, urging him to settle down soon. At the mention of this, his heart felt a pang of sourness. He thought he had found the one to spend the rest of his life with, only to realize that it was just a dream.

Suddenly, Xiaopang called Chen Gang and exclaimed, "Big brother, big brother, do you know how to use the Internet? My mom bought me a laptop, we should video chat!"

Chen Gang had always been responsive to his little sister’s requests. He chuckled and responded, "Sure, I’ll find an internet café, our internal network cannot support it."

Xiaopang urged hastily, "Alright, big brother. Be quick! My mom only lets me use the internet for two hours a day, and half an hour has already passed."

Chen Gang laughed and agreed. After sharing his QQ number with Xiaopang, he went to the local internet café. After logging in, he saw notifications popping up non-stop.

Chen Gang clicked on it and saw two unfamiliar people. One was obviously Xiaopang, who went by the name "Angel of the Lu Family", and the other was an unknown person named Galsang Flower. Chen Gang didn’t know why, but he accepted the request.

Unable to wait, Xiaopang sent a video chat request. Just as Chen Gang accepted it, he could see Xiaopang grinning broadly. Xiaopang, who had grown up, looked very much like Gu Xiaobei, but with naughty eyes.

"Big brother, big brother, can you see me clearly?" Xiaopang squealed, laughing.

Chen Gang nodded and smiled, "Yes, I can see you clearly. Xiaopang, you’ve become very pretty." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Xiaopang giggled and said, "Big brother, I know you’re telling the truth. But when you say it so directly, it can be embarrassing."

"Let me see, let me see." A similar sweet voice sounded, and another little head appeared on the screen. With a smiling face, she said to Xiaopang, "Wow, your big brother is so handsome. Much more than my Brother Mo Wang." After saying this, she withdrew from the screen and started chatting with someone beside her.

Xiaopang looked at Chen Gang on the screen and laughed, "Big brother, don’t mind Guoguo. In her eyes, no man is handsome except Mo Wang, even her own father." After speaking, she continued to tease Guoguo, making them both burst into fits of laughter.

Seeing Xiaopang’s laughter, Chen Gang suddenly felt that Lu Weiyi’s laughter had some similarities with Xiaopang’s. His heart twisted in pain - it seemed he was still too concerned about her.

Galsang Flower sent a message to him: How are you?

Not knowing if he had too much time on his hands, Chen Gang replied: Hello

Galsang Flower: How have you been recently?

Chen Gang: Do I know you? Why are you asking this?

Galsang Flower: I hope you’re doing well.

Chen Gang was somewhat confused: Thank you.

Galsang Flower: I hope you are always happy, just like a Galsang flower! Upon sending this message, Galsang Flower went offline.

A sudden pain shot through Chen Gang’s heart. He couldn’t resist the urge to view Galsang Flower’s profile, which was completely blank.

Suddenly, Xiaopang from the other side shouted, "Big brother, big brother, is the signal over there not good? Why does your display picture keep getting stuck?"

Chen Gang nodded, "Yes, the signal here is not stable."

Xiaopang laughed and said, "Alright then, I’ll stop chatting with you. Big brother, let’s video chat again when you’re free."

After ending the video chat, Chen Gang stared blankly at his screen, looking at Galsang Flower’s profile for a while more before leaving.

Over the screen, Xiaopang ended the video call and turned to Lu Weiyi, sticking out her hand and saying, "Sister Lele, the fee for the favor... Wait, do you have a crush on my big brother?"

Lu Weiyi’s face turned red as she glared at Xiaopang, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even know your big brother."

Xiaopang looked Lu Weiyi up and down with mischief in her eyes. She called Guoguo over and said, "Guoguo, look at Sister Lele, her cheeks are blushing, and her eyes are expressing an unspeakable amount of... desire. Why do you think that is?"

Guoguo blinked her big, watery eyes and seriously replied, "She’s thinking about men!"
