Chapter 2: He’s My Boyfriend, What Will You Do?

Ye Bei stood at 1.8 meters tall, with an outstanding figure. Gu Congshuang, only about 1.6 meters tall, looked thin and frail, but the atmosphere between them as they leaned against each other was indescribable.

The onlookers all thought they were a perfect match, a golden boy and girl.

Lin Wanxing, seeing this scene, although he didn’t like Gu Congshuang at all, felt a surge of anger when he saw her turn to another man’s embrace. His handsome eyebrows seemed to be twisted in anger.

Ye Bei frowned, looking down at Gu Congshuang leaning against him, unsure whether or not to clarify the situation.

A mosquito-like voice reached his ears. Gu Congshuang had raised her head, her bright black eyes looking directly at him, causing a surge of emotion in his heart.

Like a dragonfly suddenly flying across a pond, rippling circles and circles…

“Brother Xiaobei, you saved me, so save me again. Pretend to be my boyfriend, or he’ll keep bothering me.” Her small voice was pitiful.

Ye Bei couldn’t bear it, so he simply put his arm around her shoulder: “I’m her boyfriend. What do you want to do to my girlfriend?”

Lin Wanxing’s mouth dropped open. The man in front of him was tall and imposing, a white shirt and green army trousers, his posture even more standard than a flag-raising soldier. He looked like someone from the military.

“Who are you? Gu Congshuang has never mentioned having a boyfriend.”

“I’m Ye Bei, a second lieutenant in the 35th Army on Seagull Island. How should I address you?”

Lin Wanxing didn’t expect the man to be a second lieutenant in the navy, several ranks higher than a navy soldier. Unless he was the child of a high-ranking official, it was extraordinary to achieve such a position at a young age.

He was only an assistant director at a hardware factory…

Lin Wanxing’s momentum immediately seemed to shrink by a third.

Mo Wanwan, who was standing beside him, had been somewhat proud, but upon hearing that Gu Congshuang had found a boyfriend who was even more handsome and capable than Lin Wanxing, she felt a pang of displeasure.

“My name is Lin Wanxing. Since you’re her boyfriend, I won’t disturb you. I have to go to the movies with my girlfriend.”

Lin Wanxing no longer had any intention of teasing Gu Congshuang; he just wanted to find an excuse to leave.

Gu Congshuang watched Lin Wanxing hurriedly ride away on his bicycle. It was quite funny. Mo Wanwan kept looking back from the back seat, seemingly carefully observing Ye Bei. She wondered what the green tea female lead, Mo Wanwan, was thinking.

“You can let go of my arm now.”

A magnetic voice sounded in her ear. Gu Congshuang realized she was very close to Ye Bei.

His waist and abdomen felt like steel, hard and firm. Remembering her struggle in the water, and how she accidentally touched something, two blushes rose on Gu Congshuang’s delicate face. She quickly let go: “Thank you for saving me today. Let me treat you to dinner.”

“No need to be polite. Besides, your clothes are wet. I’ll take you to the hospital first, then you can go home and change into clean clothes to avoid catching a cold.” Ye Bei said considerately.

At Ye Bei’s words, Gu Congshuang suddenly felt her clothes were much heavier. Her nose itched, and she sneezed.

Ye Bei took Gu Congshuang to the shade of a tree where a green Jawa motorcycle was parked.

Gu Congshuang was immediately delighted. Wasn’t that the motorcycle that even 007 rode?

In this era, owning a Phoenix bicycle was already a sign of wealth. Unexpectedly, Ye Bei was a hidden little tycoon.

Gu Congshuang wrung out the water from her clothes and carefully sat on Ye Bei’s motorcycle. Ye Bei put a helmet on her head.

The engine roared, causing the surrounding people to look on enviously.

“If only I could get a motorcycle.”

“Old Li, stop dreaming. With your little money, you can’t even afford a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle.”

“It’s not just about money. Look at the license plate.”

While others were still discussing, Ye Bei put on his helmet, and with a whoosh, the motorcycle sped onto the main road. Gu Congshuang fearfully hugged Ye Bei’s waist.

Ye Bei’s heart stirred. The water vapor from his clothes, warmed by the sun, felt like a warm current flowing through his body.

They soon arrived at Yuehai City People’s Hospital. Ye Bei diligently registered and accompanied her, making Gu Congshuang very moved.

In reality, even when she had a cold, she would go to the hospital alone to get an IV drip. She had never received such treatment.

She remembered that in the book, after she jumped into the river, she was also rescued, but not by Ye Bei. After waking up, she was in the hospital, having inhaled river water into her trachea, resulting in severe pneumonia. Lin Wanxing didn’t visit her once during her hospitalization.

She lost the job she had obtained because she didn’t report for duty for a long time. The hospitalization cost a lot of money, and her family, who favored sons over daughters, directly used the money to marry her off to a divorced, middle-aged man from the neighborhood who was known for domestic violence.

Gu Congshuang resisted the marriage and ran away when her family wasn’t paying attention, trying to find Lin Wanxing. But she saw Lin Wanxing and Mo Wanwan together, and in a fit of anger, she tried to push Mo Wanwan away, only to be confronted by the abusive husband.

Gu Congshuang was pushed by the abusive husband and hit her head, falling into a coma. The abusive husband, fearing trouble, canceled the marriage and disappeared.

Gu Congshuang woke up dazed and was assaulted by street thugs and left in an alley. It was the middle of winter, and she froze to death on the street. Before she died, she held tightly to the birthday gift Lin Wanxing had given her as a child – a scarf.

Thinking of this, Gu Congshuang shuddered. She didn’t want to end up in such a tragic situation.

After leaving the hospital, the examination showed everything was normal, except for some cold medicine to prevent illness.

The plot had already changed. Could it be because of Ye Bei’s sudden appearance?

In that case, she wouldn’t have to marry the abusive man and could live a good life.

She remembered that there was no Ye Bei in the book. Since the plot had changed, Ye Bei must have a mysterious background.

“Okay, go home and change your clothes and rest. I have to go back and meet up with my teammates.”

Ye Bei unconsciously touched Gu Congshuang’s head. Gu Congshuang used to hate physical contact with boys, but this time, perhaps because Ye Bei had saved her life, she not only didn’t feel disgusted, but even had a slight ambiguous fondness.

If only Ye Bei were really my boyfriend. Such a handsome boyfriend… I just want to be close to him every day.

“Then I’ll treat you to lunch at the Red Pine Hotel across the street tomorrow. You have to come!”

Gu Congshuang got on the bus and shouted to Ye Bei.

Ye Bei watched Gu Congshuang smile. It was like the sun being kissed by spring rain, full of innocent and lovely beauty.

He couldn’t help but wave and shout back: “Okay, see you then.”
