After Gu Yue placed Zero's body, he left the imperial capital and returned to Suzaku Province with Xia Ying and the others.

The fatigue of the past few days caused Gu Yue to fall asleep the moment he got on the train, and slept until he got off the train.

Xia Ying looked at the young man still frowning in his sleep, and the many questions in his heart had to be put aside for the time being.

After arriving at the station, the drivers of Yunjian and Luo Tiantian's family were already waiting at the exit. Luo Tiantian saw that Gu Yue was a little listless, so he patted his chest and said that the matter of sending the others home would be handed over to her.

Xia Ying followed Luo Tiantian away, and Gu Yue returned to the army with Yun Jian.

As soon as he walked into the hall of the headquarters, Gu Yue saw a large group of people standing straight in the hall, all staring at him with burning eyes.

"Instructor, welcome back!" the recruits saluted Gu Yue in unison.

Gu Yue was slightly stunned.

The big man was the first to stand on his feet, ran over in a few steps, grabbed the boy, and gave him a big bear hug.

"Fourth brother, you can be regarded as back!" The big man slapped Gu Yue on the back with a palm, and just happened to hit the wound, Gu Yue almost fainted in pain.

"Be careful, big spending, didn't Senior Brother say that our fourth brother was injured!" Zhuo Ling noticed Gu Yue's face, and immediately pulled the big man away and checked it up and down.

Looking at the nervous looks of the two, Gu Yue's heart warmed, and the depression in his heart was diluted a lot after seeing their familiar smiling faces.

The recruits' eyes fluttered, one by one, you pushed me and squeezed, desperately wanting to come over but not daring to come. At this time, Yun Jian parked the car and came in, and the recruits immediately stopped their movements and all looked up at the ceiling.

Yun Jian glanced at them, "Let's all go back and prepare, and we will have dinner in an hour!"

"Long live Senior Brother!" the recruits cheered, if it weren't for the fact that Senior Brother's expressionless face was too intimidating, they would have rushed over and lifted him up and tossed him into the sky.

Due to the strict schedule of the Special Operations Department, although everyone usually eats together, the meaning is completely different.

This dinner, firstly, is to wash the dust for the instructor, and secondly, it can be regarded as celebrating New Year's Day together. The main reason was that Gu Yue came back late, and the dinner couldn't be in time, so Yun Jian and the three of them could only move the dinner time back.

The recruits have absolutely no opinion on this. It's rare to be able to stay all night in the Special Operations Department, and this kind of opportunity doesn't necessarily happen once a year.

The recruits happily went to prepare.

"Reception feast!" the big man put his arm around Gu Yue's shoulders and blinked mysteriously.

Gu Yue smiled slightly, and also went back to the dormitory to take a shower. There were only two Zhuo Ling left in the hall, and it suddenly became very empty.

"Hey, it's still thoughtful senior brother, hold a reception banquet for everyone to have a good time. The big man sighed.

"Stupid, the reception banquet is just an excuse, have you forgotten, today is Gu Yue's birthday!"

"Ahh

"It's a shame that you've called the fourth brother and the fourth brother so many times, I'm sorry!"

"I'm ......" the big man scratched his head, he was a more nervous person. Gu Yue said that he couldn't have a birthday, and the big man was afraid that he would talk fast and arouse his sadness, so he really forgot about this day.

"Wait a minute, don't say it, the senior brother didn't say it explicitly, and the recruits don't know. Zhuo Ling instructed with a hundred worries.

"Okay, good!" the big man nodded vigorously, and finally seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is my sister-in-law called?"

"You've thought of it, do you think Senior Brother will forget?" Zhuo Ling didn't forget to hit him at any time.

……

Gu Yue took a shower, changed into a blue uniform, and went to the infirmary to treat the wound, and when he walked back, Xia Ying and Luo Tiantian were asking what at the front desk of the hall.

Gu Yue walked over, Xia Ying seemed to be aware, and looked at him with a look of half nervousness and half expectation, full of desire to speak and stopped.

Gu Yue stood still about a meter away from her, with a smile in his eyes: "Why don't you say hello when you see your boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Xia Ying was so shy that the roots of her ears turned red, and the fawn in her heart jumped to death. She hesitated for a long time before she stammered three words, "You...... Hello ......"

"Well, I'm fine. Gu Yue replied very seriously.

Xia Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her emotions fluctuated violently.

This person can always dissolve all kinds of fears and worries in her heart in just a few words.

Seeing him smile is even better than having the whole world.

"I'm sour!" Luo Tiantian's big light bulb jumped out proudly, "I think I may have had a fake relationship before." ”

"Sister Tiantian, please consciously turn yourself into silent mode. ”

"It's too much!" Luo Tiantian slapped Gu Yue's back with a palm, and the young man snorted. These guys like to shoot at his wounds so much.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Seeing his face, Luo Tiantian laughed at him a few times, "I forgot that you are injured." ”

The place of the dinner was in the cafeteria, and the recruits spent half an afternoon decorating the cafeteria, not only arranging the tables very meaningfully, but the girls didn't know where to get a lot of flowers and plants, but they just arranged it a little vibrant.

Gu Yue and a few people were specially arranged at the round table in the center of the cafeteria. The positions of the recruits are based on their tables, rippling out in circles.

Of course, in order to compete for a good spot closer to the main table, the recruits fought several times in private, and in the end it was not known how the agreement was reached.

Since it was a dinner, everyone naturally let go of eating, especially the recruits, who cautiously tested it, and found that after the senior brother let their loud shouting go unchecked, the noise became more and more unscrupulous.

The canteen also invested a lot of money today, providing a buffet, all kinds of ingredients, and even ice products have a lot of tricks.

This can make the recruits very happy, eating ice in the winter, it is just as exciting as making noise in front of the senior brother.

The food in the canteen of the special operations department is much better than that of the school. Chefs basically come up with a new dish every week, changing their twists to satisfy the quirky little guys.

Even the girls let go of their reserve and went to the window again and again to get all kinds of food. For this meal, they didn't even eat dinner, and deliberately waited on an empty stomach until this moment, naturally to make up for what they hadn't eaten before.

"It's New Year's Day in ten minutes, and my New Year's resolution is, ...... every week No, you can have a dinner like this once a month. If I can achieve it, I don't have to force it, I will definitely study hard and exercise every day. One of the recruits, drinking a drink, stood up and began to pretend to be drunk.

Zhuo Ling at the main table raised his eyebrows.

"Senior brother, tomorrow is New Year's Day, why don't we have a gala tomorrow night!" a recruit struck while the iron was hot.

"That's right, senior brother, the instructors have all killed a golden-eyed one. It seems a bit unreasonable to celebrate such a big event for only one day. "A recruit said in his heart, I have pushed out the instructor, senior brother must have something to say.

Gu Yue turned his head to see which little rabbit cub dared to use him as an excuse.

Yunmi sat in his seat, eating seriously, ignoring these guys who had to inch in.

"Anyway, tomorrow is my birthday, brother, can I use that birthday privilege to hold another party?" another recruit grinded unwillingly.

"You take yourself too seriously, your birthday privileges are only useful to your teammates at most, let everyone help you celebrate your birthday, what ......about your face," the recruit said, only to realize that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

The smiles on the faces of the senior brothers at the main table were all put away in an instant. The big man happened to grab a chicken paw and put it in his mouth, hearing this, it was not to eat, it was not to eat, his eyes were sneaking at Gu Yue for a while, and he was looking at Zhuo Ling for a while.

Gu Yue's movements on his hands only stiffened for a moment, and then he continued to eat like a nobody, then raised his head, looked at everyone's cautious looks, and smiled: "You guys, should you say something to the birthday star?"

"Ahem!" Zhuo Ling reacted extremely quickly, stood up, took the lead in picking up the drink, and stretched it out in the direction of Gu Yue, "Happy birthday!"

Seeing this, the big man hurriedly put down the chicken feet, picked up the drink and stood up. After that, Yun Jian, Xia Ying, and Luo Tiantian got up one after another, and everyone touched their cups with Gu Yue and said in unison.

"Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you!" Gu Yue smiled slightly, his expression was normal.

Until now, how could he not understand the true purpose of this dinner.

The phone call from the senior brother that called him back, and when he left, the teacher's expression of wanting to speak and stopping was easy to understand at the moment.

It was because he himself was too fragile and couldn't get over that hurdle that made so many people who cared about him have to be so sneaky and cautious even to celebrate his birthday.

Although there was another person who left forever on his birthday. But he is no longer the same person he used to be, and this time, the people standing next to him are not the same people as before.

"Thank you!" Gu Yue took a deep breath and thanked him again.

"Happy New Year!" Yunmi looked at him and raised his glass.

"Happy New Year!" everyone raised their glasses and drank them up. The atmosphere suddenly came alive again.

Tossing to a point, Xia Ying and Luo Tiantian couldn't bear it and went back first. Gu Yue also left the cafeteria and sat on the steps in front of the hall, looking at the stars in the sky in a daze.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and a man sank and sat down beside him.

"He's dead. Gu Yue thought about it, but decided to tell Yun Jian about Zero's death.

Although Zero may be unhappy, if he doesn't speak out and let Zero die quietly, it will be too pitiful for both Yunmi and Zero.

Besides, Gu Yue believes that the senior brother has the right to know about this matter. On the other hand, Zero is also worth letting the senior brother remember him.

"Hmm. Yunmi's expression was calm.

Gu Yue was slightly surprised, "You know?"

The teacher mentioned. ”

"Senior Brother......

"Thank you. Yun Jian turned to him, "Those punches he punched you, I'll fight you back next time." ”
