Chapter 1159: Xinya, I’m Sorry!


In the afternoon, she and Ye Feiyu stood at attention beneath the sun. Ye Feiyu left to resume the rest of the training after two hours while Wen Xinya stayed to complete the remaining hour of her punishment.


Standing at attention was one of the toughest parts of military training, for one would have to stay still in the same position for a long time. Standing in a random and casual position for three hours was arduous enough, let alone at attention.


Wen Xinya dreaded standing at attention the most, for it required endurance and grit. She possessed great explosive power but lacked stamina. The most grueling task would be to stand at attention below the scorching sun.


Wen Xinya was already much weaker than others in the first place and she had already suffered a heatstroke because of it. However, she discovered that she was unwell soon after, and hence recovered with some rest.


Having been through high-intensity training for the past few weeks, Wen Xinya’s body was in a terrible state and she felt a sudden stuffiness in her chest that was accompanied by nausea that made her feel weak and feeble. She began to blackout a little and next… she fell right onto the ground.


Ye Feiyu had been paying attention to Wen Xinya and hence got a great shock when she noticed that Wen Xinya had fainted. She instantly yelled, “Commander, Xinya has fainted!”


Xu Zhenyu panicked and almost scurried towards her. He said, “She’s just suffering from a heatstroke. Why are you kicking up such a huge fuss? Get back to training.”


Xu Zhenyu arranged for the team leader to supervise the training before striding towards Wen Xinya and picking her up in his arms effortlessly. He then strutted towards the medical office, his footsteps no longer rhythmic.


Xu Zhenyu carried Wen Xinya into the medical office.


The doctor hurriedly checked Wen Xinya’s body.


“Doctor, how is she?” Xu Zhenyu asked, regretting his decision to treat her so harshly after being reminded of the fact that she was in poor health and had already fainted twice in 20 days.


The doctor said, “There aren’t any major problems. She’s just suffering from low blood sugar levels. She’ll be fine after taking some glucose and getting some rest.”


The military training program had only gone on for twenty-odd days and yet, Wen Xinya had already been to the medical office for four times. Hence, the doctor had a strong impression of her.


Xu Zhenyu heaved a sigh of relief, feeling thankful to hear that she was alright.


The doctor pressed Wen Xinya’s arms and calf muscles, after which she instinctively s.h.i.+vered. The doctor said with a slight frown, “She has plenty of muscle tears that have yet to heal even until now. Due to the fact that her ligaments have been overexerted, they’ve become looser than before. Clearly, she has been undergoing high-intensity training within a short period of time. If this goes on, she will suffer severe damage to her body.”


Xu Zhenyu was at a loss for words. He actually didn’t want to treat her that way, either. However, he could not help but be exasperated whenever he thought about how condescending and proud she was.


The doctor chided sternly. “What is wrong with you? You may have to be strict when conducting the military training, but you can’t make the students do more than what their bodies allow. You have to be responsible for their health since you’re their commander. I officially notify you that you must stop making her do any form of training for the next two days.”


Xu Zhenyu said, “Got it.”


After feeding Wen Xinya with some glucose, he proceeded to get busy with other matters.


Xu Zhenyu sat on the chair beside Wen Xinya’s bed in the medical office, feeling an immense heartache upon sight of the pale and fatigued Wen Xinya. Within just a short period of time, she actually became thinner than she was during the initial stages of training.


It was all his doing.


He suddenly covered his face with his hand and got a grip on himself. I shouldn’t have done that, he thought.


Xinya wasn’t wrong. I’ve always been the one at fault.


I was the one who chose to leave Capital city and ever since then, I had already lost.


I claim that I love her and wanted to become stronger so that I could be fit enough to be by her side, but actually… wasn’t I just being selfish?


He knew clearly how hard of a time Wen Xinya had when she first returned to the Wen Family. Firstly, she got set up by her stepmother and stepsister, after which she had to deal with the pretentious Xia Ruya and had to suffer the mistreatment inflicted on her by the heartless Wen Haowen and Old Mrs. Wen who detested her.


He left Wen Xinya when she needed him the most and was uninvolved with her life for three years. He was not there to share weal and woe with her. Hence, he felt that he did not have the rights to make her wait for his return.


Waiting was such an illusory thing.


In this world, waiting was the most miserable thing ever. In this world… waiting usually lead to nothing.


Not to mention, Wen Xinya had never once promised to wait for him.


It was all just wishful thinking on his part.


I shouldn’t have put all the blame on Xinya or even tortured her that way. I really deserve to die…


Wen Xinya was not completely unconscious. After intaking some glucose, she felt much more relieved and less uncomfortable.


She slowly opened her eyes and smiled feebly when she saw Xu Zhenyu who was seated beside her. “Xu Zhenyu…”


Xu Zhenyu grabbed her hand agitatedly and exclaimed, “You’re awake!”


Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I’m alright. I’m just suffering from low blood sugar. I’ll be fine in a while.”


She felt like a boulder was lifted off her chest when she saw how concerned and worried Xu Zhenyu was about her.


This is great!


Xu Zhenyu exclaimed in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Xinya, I’m sorry!”


Wen Xinya sat up slowly and stared at Xu Zhenyu. “Xu Zhenyu, you must have been possessed by Ning Shuqian!”


She knew that Xu Zhenyu wouldn’t actually hurt her. That was the trust she had in him.


Upon hearing that she had compared him to Ning Shuqian, he flew into a rage and retorted. “Wen Xinya, you’re the one who got possessed by Ning Shuqian!”


All that that vicious wretch Ning Shuqian does is think about how she should deal with Wen Xinya. Despite feeling upset about failing to win Wen Xinya’s heart, he would never actually hurt her because of that.


His feelings of agony faded after being teased by Wen Xinya. Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “In that case, tell me how I offended you in any way.”


Xu Zhenyu contemplated whether or not he should be honest with her about his feelings. However, he could not bring himself to do so when he saw the look in her eyes as she gazed at him. “That day, Mr. Si came to look for you, right? He was just using the inspection as an excuse.”


Xu Zhenyu’s words made Wen Xinya feel certain that Xu Zhenyu was angry about her relations.h.i.+p with Si Yiyan. Hence, she said, “Xu Zhenyu, you’re really petty! I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. Well, I didn’t get angry when you hid your return from me, did I?”


Xu Zhenyu could not help but smile wryly, though Wen Xinya did not notice it. “Stop trying to play dumb. Who’s that man and how long have you been dating him?”


Wen Xinya answered truthfully, “He’s Grampy’s student and we’ve been together for more than three years!”


She then told him about how she met Si Yiyan and the times when he rescued her from danger. She also told him about how her friends had all approved of him.


Xu Zhenyu had been observing Wen Xinya’s expression and he noticed how tender she looked when she was talking about Si Yiyan. It was an expression that he had never seen before.
