It was terrifying!
At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly felt as if he had been caught in the act. What was going on? They weren't even married yet; they only had a betrothal... that shouldn't count, right? Moreover, Lou Yu, that guy, he didn't even know how he ended up saying such things...
Pei Guanjing had already approached with a stern expression, striding over with purpose. Without saying a word, he bent down and firmly grasped Ye Chen's left hand, pulling him up from the ground and turning to leave.
For some reason, Ye Chen felt a wave of guilt rising within him and allowed himself to be led away. But suddenly, his right hand was also grabbed.
"Pei Guanjing," Lou Yu said, his usual playful demeanor replaced by a serious tone, "what do you mean by this?"
Pei Guanjing turned back, his gaze icy enough to freeze someone in place. "What do you mean by this, General Xiao Lou?"
Lou Yu gritted his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes. "This is the third time you've tried to take someone from me."
Pei Guanjing replied coldly, each word sharp as ice. "I had no idea General Xiao Lou was so obsessed with Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen is mine; you should give up on this idea."
Lou Yu was momentarily stunned. He didn't even know how that last sentence had slipped out. As soon as it left his lips, he regretted it deeply.
How could he have such feelings for Ye Chen? Besides, as Tian Qian, how could he be with Zhong Yong? A Zhong Yong was hardly worthy of him.
Irritated, he pulled his hand away from Ye Chen and frowned, stumbling over his words as he tried to explain. "Ye Chen, listen to me; I really didn't mean it like that. Just now... I don't know why I said that. Can you... can you just pretend you didn't hear it?"
But Pei Guanjing had already taken Ye Chen out of the tent without any intention of listening to his half-hearted explanations.
Ye Chen bit his lip tightly, allowing Pei Guanjing to pull him along briskly. The scene they had just witnessed could easily lead to misunderstandings. Yet, why did he always feel a twinge of fear whenever he faced Pei Guanjing?
As his mind wandered in confusion, Pei Guanjing suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen anxiously looked up at him, only to see his face cold enough to freeze the air around them.
Feeling uneasy, Ye Chen lowered his gaze again, his heart filled with a mix of fear and guilt.
Pei Guanjing's chest rose and fell rapidly as he stared at Ye Chen, who was looking down. He felt an overwhelming urge to strangle Lou Yu right then and there.
It was just a moment of distraction that had led to this situation.
In the past few days, he had pretended to be the same as before, still acting as Ye Chen's Master, maintaining their boundaries. However, secretly, he had been watching Ye Chen's every move. He had planned to take things slow and cultivate their relationship, but time was not on his side; in a few days, Ye Chen would be leaving. He didn't want Ye Chen to have any regrets about his time at the Military Camp. Yet unexpectedly, after just a short while, Ye Chen had gone to see Lou Yu.
Moreover, there was no one else in the Canteen. Did he really not know that Qian Kun was different? If it hadn't been for running into Wang Xiangzi near the Medical Camp and learning that the Canteen was empty, he wouldn't have known what Ye Chen was doing there. He had come with the intention of just taking a look but was shocked to find such a scene upon entering.
He rushed to the Canteen out of concern for Ye Chen, but as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Ye Chen feeding Lou Yu intimately while Lou Yu gazed at him with adoration, saying things like, "Ye Chen, you're so beautiful; I want to marry you."
Feeding Lou Yu and flirting back! Did Ye Chen really like Lou Yu?!
It made sense; they were of similar ages, and being ten years older than Ye Chen likely made him seem like an old man in Ye Chen's eyes. Naturally, he couldn't compete with those of the same age who were more appealing.
The more Pei Guanjing thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Yet he maintained a calm exterior, appearing aloof as always. However, anyone who looked closely could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with at that moment.
The earlier scene had clearly left a significant impact on Pei Guanjing, igniting an intense and nameless fury within him. At that moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to tear Lou Yu to shreds.
"Are you not going to explain?" Pei Guanjing asked, his head lowered and his expression cold as he looked at Ye Chen. The words seemed to be forced out through clenched teeth, one by one.
Ye Chen was intimidated by the oppressive aura surrounding him and instinctively shrank back. Yet, he stubbornly replied, "Explain what?"
"You and Lou Yu."
"What does my relationship with Lou Yu have to do with anything?" In that instant, Ye Chen felt an overwhelming sense of injustice. There was truly nothing between him and Lou Yu; he had merely fed him a meal. Surely that didn’t warrant a death sentence!
Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel as if he was regressing. He had already been twenty years old when he crossed over, and having spent two or three years in this world, his soul's age should be the same as Pei Guanjing's. So why did he always feel so small in front of him?
"I just fed him a meal; Lou Yu injured his arm."
