Back Then, I Adored You
Chapter 145: A Perfect Cold Weapon (5)

“Captain Gu may look as handsome and soft as a celebrity. I’m telling you that Captain Gu was the toughest guy on the team. When we were sent out for a mission for the first time, we had to deal with people smuggling firearms. We all had to practicing shooting every day. When we were faced with real enemies, none of us dared to open fire. Guess what happened at the end? Captain Gu opened fire without blinking an eye. He shot five times in a row. Every shot ended on one of their heads. None of them missed.

“I felt like Captain Gu was a hero. Captain Gu never said the right thing, but we didn’t dislike him. We all liked him, in fact. He looks cold on the outside, but has a warm heart on the inside. He was born a military guy. When we fought natural disasters, like the earthquake, he wanted to save a little boy, but was smashed underneath the roof. He had to stay in the hospital for three months. Luckily, he didn’t die from it. Captain Gu is super calm. He’s the most calm and self-controlled person I’ve even seen. Our instructor said Captain Gu was a very rare genius, a perfect cold weapon,” Qin Yang said.

What Qin Yang talked about was nothing that Qin Zhi’ai had heard about Gu Yusheng.

She didn’t say anything, but listened very attentively.

Gu Yusheng must have had such an adventurous and splendid time in the few years that she had lost contact with him. He was so tough and respectful.

“If Captain Gu stayed in the military, he would be doing really good and promoted to a high position. When he left the military two years ago, he was already a colonel. It’s too bad that he left,” Qin Yang said. “Do you think Captain Gu is too cold? I’m telling you he cares about others. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have left the military. He left the military for his grandpa. He told us before he left that his grandpa was the only family he had in this world.”

Qin Yang became a little sentimental as he talked. He shook his head and lit another cigarette. He looked like he was thinking about something, so he tilted his head and asked Qin Zhi’ai, “Have you ever seen Captain Gu cry?”

Crying? Gu Yusheng cried? She had witnessed Gu Yusheng being hit hard by his father when he was young. She hadn’t seen him crying. She couldn’t believe something had made him cry later on.

Qin Zhi’ai looked shocked as she stared at Qin Yang.

“I’ve seen Captain Gu cry three times,” Qin Yang said. “The first time was when we had just joined the military, not for long. One night, I went to bathroom late at night and saw him crying in a corner. He was murmuring that he was sorry. I didn’t know who he was apologizing to. The second time was when he left the military. He laughed and said he could finally leave the military in front of us. However, when he turned around and left, he was crying like a child by himself on the training grounds. The last time he cried was when his parents passed away.”

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t responded to anything, but she felt her eyes were watery.

Qin Yang felt like he might have been too cheesy, so he took a few quick puffs and stopped talking.

They arrived at the parking lot quickly. Qin Yang didn’t enter the parking lot.

After Qin Zhi’ai got back to her car, she took some time to digest what Qin Yang had said before she started the car. It was already dark when she drove out of the parking lot. On the way home, she drove past a bar street. She saw Gu Yusheng leaning against a tree through the rearview mirror. He tried to open a pack of cigarettes with his head down.

There was a pile of cigarette butts of different sizes on the trash bin next to him.
