I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 111 Misunderstanding and Truth

Gu Wenxuan stared at him blankly. After a moment, she laughed and shook her head, "Then it seems that you are destined to be a member of my family. Unlike me, they have suspected since I was a child that I walked into the wrong door when I was reincarnated."

Obviously, her grandparents, grandparents-in-law, and parents were all gentle people, but she did not inherit even a little bit of their gentle genes.

Ever since she could walk, she would stay in the martial arts gym next door every day to watch the older kids practice martial arts. Unless it was mealtime, the child would never ask to go home on her own unless the adults in the family took her away by force.

Later, when she grew up a little and was old enough to learn martial arts, she started practicing directly with the uncle next door.

The two families have been neighbors for many years and have always gotten along well. When she asked to learn, the uncle next door taught her without thinking twice.

She had a good talent for martial arts, and as she practiced she was able to surpass all the children of her age.

She found it boring to compete with a bunch of defeated opponents every day, so she kept her eyes on the older children.

She started beating those who started fighting one or two years earlier than her, and then went on to those who started fighting three or four years earlier than her. Just as she was about to become the top martial arts gym leader, the son of the uncle next door easily broke her winning streak.

The other party started four years earlier than her and his talent is no less than hers.

From this unexpected defeat, Gu Wenxuan began her journey of fighting again and again after repeated failures.

When she was a child, she chased after others and wanted to defeat them, but to no avail. When she grew up, she was determined to make achievements and surpass others, but to no avail.

Until she died and traveled through time, she had not been able to achieve even one victory over that hateful guy.

Gu Wenxuan talked on and on, becoming more and more depressed and unwilling the more she spoke, but the more Bai Jingzhou listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

The two families lived close to each other, and he had seen Gu Wenxuan and the neighbor's eldest brother getting along a few times before.

At that time, he felt that Gu Wenxuan's eyes were particularly passionate when she looked at the neighbor's eldest brother, and she was always gesticulating and talking to the neighbor's eldest brother.

When they all joined the army, they would occasionally take leave and return to their hometown together.

Moreover, the three elders of Gu Wenxuan's family once complained at the dinner table, saying that not only did Gu Wenxuan spend all day in a martial arts gym when she was a child, but when she grew up she also took on the same profession as her neighbor's eldest brother, fighting and killing all day long. It felt like this child didn't seem to be from their family, but more like the one from the martial arts gym next door.

The most important thing is that Gu Wenxuan not only followed in the footsteps of her neighbor and walked the same path as him, but was also injured and hospitalized for more than three months while protecting her neighbor, and her left arm was almost disabled.

Before they died and traveled through time, Gu Wenxuan fell into a trap in order to cover the other party's retreat and faced a life-and-death crisis.

If these are not evidence that Gu Wenxuan is in love with her neighbor, then he...

Bai Jingzhou was in a state of confusion. While Gu Wenxuan was mumbling to herself and was busy complaining about the hateful neighbor brother who always dominated her, he took deep breaths repeatedly without leaving any trace, trying to calm his confused mind.

He asked himself, if Gu Wenxuan looked at the neighbor brother with such a passionate look and always danced and talked to him, if it wasn't because she liked him, then what was the reason? Was it the desire to fight?

He asked Gu Wenxuan, "Do you really want to beat him?"

Gu Wenxuan sighed, "Of course! If someone is like me, who has never beaten that guy even once in half his life, he/she will also be eager to win, right?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded in agreement.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said, "I thought you had a very good relationship. You have the same hobbies, the same profession, and occasionally go home together on vacation. Besides, didn't you get badly injured trying to save him?"

Gu Wenxuan shrugged, "It's true that we have a good relationship. After all, we are brothers in the same trench who can risk our lives for each other. But having a good relationship doesn't conflict with considering him as a goal to surpass, right?"

She asked Bai Jingzhou, "You must have had close friends when you were in school. Would you not study hard for the sake of friendship and deliberately let them surpass you?"

Bai Jingzhou shook his head subconsciously, but the only words that kept echoing in his mind were "brothers in the same trench".

Gu Wenxuan didn't know what he was thinking. She smiled and touched her left arm. "As for me getting injured while saving him, this may seem like a big deal to you, but it's nothing to me. To be honest, I've been injured for many people. After all, that's what I do."

Bai Jingzhou's heart seemed to be on fire. He carefully asked, "So there must be some hidden reason why you were suddenly transferred back to your hometown together before the end of the world?"

Gu Wenxuan sighed, "Yes. That guy's identity was exposed when he was on a mission. If he continued to stay there, his life would be in danger, so he was arranged to go back to his hometown to hide for a while. As for me, I was sent back to protect him."

Bai Jingzhou suddenly realized, "So that's why he doesn't live at home?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "It's better to avoid things like implicating your family members and causing harm if possible."

As she spoke, she sighed, "It's because we've changed the map now, and there's little hope of going back. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you this."

Although what she said was not something that needed to be kept confidential, out of habit, she had never told her family or friends about any of her work in her previous life.

Bai Jingzhou was in a complicated mood, so what he mistook as a deep gaze was actually a raging war, what he mistook as dancing was actually gestures, what he mistook as a long-lasting secret love was actually a strong obsession of "must defeat him", what he mistook as loving the other person so deeply that he could risk his life for the other person was actually just because they were "brothers in the same trench", what he mistook as love that could not be obtained but still remained infatuated was actually just because Gu Wenxuan accepted the task of protecting the other person...

In this case, Gu Wenxuan and the other party took vacation and went back to their hometowns at the same time, probably just because they both happened to have time at that time and happened to be going back to the same place?

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out, which was why, after returning to her hometown, Gu Wenxuan was living well at home, but she quickly packed her suitcase and moved to rent a house next door to her neighbor's eldest brother?

He asked tentatively: "Then you moved out of the house because you realized that he would be in danger in the near future?"

Gu Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If I had noticed, would I have brought so few people with me on the mission? It's not like I want to die!"

At this point, she glared at Bai Jingzhou with some frustration, "I moved out because as soon as I got home, you started not coming back for various reasons!"

"Then those kids at home kept talking about you and looking at me with suspicion, suspecting that I was secretly bullying you. I got fed up and just moved out."

"I complained about this when we first came here. I even suspected that you didn't go home because you hated me. Don't you remember?"

Bai Jingzhou: "...Remember."

At that time, he was just afraid of showing emotions that he shouldn't have, so he kept making excuses about being busy with work...

Forget it, he should stop making excuses, he is just overthinking, stupid and cowardly...
