Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608 Another Emergency Situation

It was late at night, and everyone was asleep except for the guards who were still on duty. The surroundings were dead quiet.

Leng Feng couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning restlessly because the feeling Gu Fan gave him was one of awkwardness, disgust, and discomfort. He suspected that Gu Fan was doing it on purpose.

"Why? Could it be..." Leng Feng started to suspect that Gu Fan already knew about their relationship.

Leng Feng glanced at the door, making sure it was tightly shut, and let out a slight sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that if he closed his eyes, when he opened them again, Gu Fan would be sleeping next to him. The thought was truly frightening.

"No matter what you do, I will never forgive you," Leng Feng vowed in his heart, but the more he thought this way, the harder it was for him to fall asleep.

In the end, Leng Feng decided to be decisive: he stopped trying to sleep, got dressed, and went outside to stand watch.

To prevent surprise attacks from the enemy, the resistance army had set up several hidden and visible sentries around the temporary base. If anything unusual was detected, an alert would be sent immediately to prepare everyone for battle.

Leng Feng made his way to the roof of an old building, intending to greet and replace the sentry on duty, but found that someone had arrived earlier than him.

"Laying down there, can’t you sleep either?" Gu Fan was also on the rooftop, with some cans of beer next to him.

Leng Feng frowned, knowing it was a coincidence, because normally no one would guess that he would be on duty tonight due to his insomnia.

"Come have a drink," Gu Fan said, tossing a can of beer to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng caught the beer, hesitated for a moment, then opened a can and started to drink.

"Such a good place, turned into ruins, what a pity," Gu Fan said as he gazed at the severely damaged buildings, unable to resist sighing with the wind.

Leng Feng walked over. In fact, he didn’t want to engage with Gu Fan, but for some reason, it was as if his body moved on its own.

Gu Fan didn’t pay too much attention to Leng Feng and casually mentioned, "Did your mother tell you about Xiaojin?"

"She did. Xiaojin is the reincarnation of Lin Xi, and Lin Xi is the woman you once loved the most. But in this era, you killed Lin Xi," Leng Feng said, staring at Gu Fan and noticing a flicker of sorrow in his eyes.

"That’s right, can you understand this feeling?" Gu Fan replied with a bitter smile, took a swig of his drink, and continued, "Leng Feng, I know you hate me, and I hate myself more than anyone else. I won’t forgive myself, ever. He..." Gu Fan spoke righteously as he pointed towards the distance: "is a scumbag. My coming here is to defeat him, to settle this score for good."

Leng Feng replied indifferently, "He is you, and you are him. What he is doing now is what you will do in the future."

"Yes, that’s the situation," Gu Fan said, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint, as he firmly spoke, "But the current me is not him. Even if I will become him in the future, that is a matter for later. The most important thing is who I am right now." After saying that, Gu Fan looked at Leng Feng earnestly, and Leng Feng returned the gaze seriously.

Then Gu Fan asked another question, "Did your mother ever tell you what kind of person I am?"

Leng Feng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as if he had just thought of some joke. After catching his breath, he finally spoke, "My mom says you’re just an infuriating bastard, always bullying her. Even though you’ve already broken up, you still manage to drag her down all the time. It’s like she owes you something from a past life."

Hearing this, Gu Fan’s expression turned somewhat awkward, "I knew your mom wouldn’t say too many good things about me."

Leng Feng shook his head, "You’re wrong, my mom said she really loved you because you truly are a good person. After her heart turned ice-cold and she became indifferent to everything in this world, you were the only one who could melt her frozen heart and let her feel warmth in this world again."

Gu Fan was stunned, not expecting to be held in such high regard in Leng Le’s heart.

Leng Feng continued, "I’ve heard Lu Yi, Jie, and the others talk about what kind of person you used to be; loyal and brave, with both courage and strategy, truly a friend one could trust with their life. I’ve also heard about the things you’ve been through, turning the impossible into possible, bringing hope to everyone, you were someone worth following."

"I also know that you becoming what you are now, it’s not solely your fault, and not entirely blameable on you. But when I think back to seeing my mom cry in secret during childhood, and seeing her heartbroken, it just makes my heart hurt, and I can’t forgive you. I kept asking myself, why did you treat my mother like that, why did you change that way? Do you know how much your change shattered all my fantasies about you?" Leng Feng said excitedly, his gaze fixed on Gu Fan, filled with both resentment and a longing.

At that moment, Gu Fan felt a tightness in his chest. He understood that Leng Feng’s hatred for him wasn’t just because he had hurt Leng Le, but also because he had destroyed the heroic image of a father that Leng Feng held in his heart.

Gu Fan immediately embraced Leng Feng tightly, offering him firm belief with a man’s hug.

"Believe me, he’s a bastard, a devil, not a qualified father, but I am, and I will use all my strength to help you. I will never let you down," Gu Fan said with a determined and powerful voice, full of a driving force that could move people’s hearts.

Leng Feng had never felt such power before; his heart seemed to be guided by it, irresistibly drawn to follow it.

But in the end, Leng Feng struggled fiercely, pushing Gu Fan away because he couldn’t allow himself to forgive Gu Fan so easily.

The atmosphere turned awkward at this point, and Gu Fan didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Xiaojin appeared, bringing beer to share with them and easing the awkward tension.

"Whoa, Dad, bro, were you two just hugging each other?" Gu Xiaojin walked in, broaching a topic that revived the awkwardness.

Leng Feng fell silent, pretending to gaze into the distance.

Gu Fan coughed deliberately as a warning, "Don’t talk about this with anyone else, pretend you didn’t see anything."

Gu Xiaojin put on an indifferent face and said, "Ah, come on, two grown men afraid of a little gossip? Are you really that thin-skinned? Especially you, Dad, everyone says you have thick skin."

"Don’t spout nonsense, or I’ll spank you," Gu Fan pretended to warn seriously.

Of course, Gu Xiaojin did not take it seriously, even snorting in response.

Just then, the intercom erupted with urgent calls, summoning everyone to hurry over due to an emergency situation.
