  The Mysterious Boyfriend of the School Beauty

  "It's great! Brother, you finally have time to come back! I've been waiting for you! You must remember, okay? Don't be lazy, okay!" She said in a very childish tone, but at the same time, she was afraid of affecting his work, because as far as she knew, he was engaged in highly classified military work.

  "Brother, I'll wait for you on Saturday, bye!"

  "See you on Saturday, bye!"

  ……

  Put down the phone, Ning Xiyu's arms were propped on the table, his hands clasped together under his chin, staring blankly at the phone. In the air force base, everyone knew that Ning Xiyu was an extremely calm and composed person, never emotional or affected by external factors. But this Ning Xiyu, who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, had become trapped in a state of inexplicable emptiness due to a phone call from his beloved little sister.

  When the guard Wang Muqing pushed open the door and entered, he saw that General Xiao's deep eyes were staring at a certain place with an unusual loss of focus. He couldn't help but pause for a moment. This abnormal behavior from General Xiao made him dare not disturb him, so he put down the tea tray he had brought in and quietly closed the door as he left.

  Ning Zhiyun on the other end of the phone stood motionless on the rear balcony of his dormitory, his slender body leaning against the railing, staring blankly into space.

  "What's on your mind, Ning Zhaoyan? You look like you're in a trance!" It wasn't until someone patted him on the back that Ning Zhaoyan turned around, a smile spreading across his face, but his eyes were slightly red.

  "Zhi Yun, what's wrong with your eyes? Is it conjunctivitis?" Recently, conjunctivitis has been spreading wildly in the school, and many people have already been infected. Bai Xuan Hui saw that her eyes were red and thought that her good friend was also unlucky to have caught it.

  "Uh, never mind, I just accidentally blew some sand into my eyes." He said, covering his eyes with the back of his hand, then added: "Xiaohui, it seems our graduation trip plans are cancelled."

  "What's going on! Even I, your partner in crime since birth, am being kicked out of the picture. Was that a call from your mysterious boyfriend just now?" Bai Xuehui teased with a smile, tugging at her ponytail and narrowing her eyes.

  After graduation, traveling to Tibet was a trip that Ning Zhiyuan had been looking forward to and preparing for a long time. Now, after just one phone call, he has to cancel it, showing how powerful that person is.

  Bai Xue Hui had an inquisitive expression on her face, Ning Zhi Yun reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks with a hint of helplessness.

  Rumors have been circulating wildly that Ning Zhiyun, the campus belle, has rejected so many boys during her university years that they could form a whole battalion. As a result, there are countless posts on the gossip forum speculating that Ning must have an incredibly awesome boyfriend, like Superman.

  As Ning Zhiyun's best sister Bai Xuehui, she was even more concerned about her sister's well-being and constantly probed around the edges, hoping to hear some gossip about this mysterious man. Ning Zhiyun always flatly denied it, and Bai Xuehui just thought she was shy so she avoided talking about this mysterious boyfriend. Unfortunately, after several years had passed, there were no results.

  "What are you talking nonsense about? The phone call just now was from my brother!" Ning Zhiyan's eyes, like small white rabbits, sparkled with excitement, and his absolutely beautiful face, as white and clean as porcelain, radiated a brilliant aura due to the extreme joy in his heart.

  "What! The one just now was your incredibly cool and legendary brother?"

  Bai Xue didn't disappoint as her sister, knowing she had an older brother who was awarded the rank of Major General by the Commander-in-Chief himself at just 26 years old.

  "Uh-huh, my brother said he'll be back for my graduation ceremony!" Ning Zhiyun still feels a bit like she's in a dream.

  Looking back, she only felt a sour nose. Her brother had been away for eight years and hadn't returned home once during that time. They didn't even make phone calls to each other; they just relied on emails to communicate. Along with the emails, he sent over a few photos of himself wearing his military uniform, looking handsome and spirited.

  Because both Dad and Grandpa were from a military background, they seemed to have no objection to my brother's behavior, as if they thought that was what a soldier should be like.

  But for 14-year-old Ning Zhiyuan, the brother who doted on her and spoiled her, suddenly disappeared from her life and sight in one night, just like a person evaporating into thin air. The initial confusion and pain still leave her with a lingering fear when she thinks about it now.

  The brother in the photo, with his handsome and unchanged facial features, had a pair of deep eyes under his straight eyebrows that were full of determination. His angular face, honed from years of military life, seemed overly cold and hard. This brother had become very unfamiliar to her, and was now far away from her.

  This lieutenant general who is said to be the youngest and most promising in history, is too far away from her and doesn't belong to her. She doesn't want a brother like that!

  She only wanted that brother who, on a cold day, would shake off his bodyguards and hold her hand with his warm hands to eat ice cream leisurely on the street.

  She just wanted her brother who, because she didn't pass the 1500 meters, got up early every day to accompany her for a morning run.

  She only wanted that brother who accompanied her to read under the lamp, and signed "Ning Xiwai" in a flourish on the parent signature column of her homework book.

  ……

  She knew she was selfish, but these were her heart's unrelenting desires...
