Chapter 2849 - 2842: Swearing an Oath to Heaven

"No need." Chi Yan smiled gently and stepped forward, hugging He Yue tightly into his arms.

He Yue was startled by the sudden hug and hurriedly struggled to push Chi Yan away: "Don’t... don’t do this..."

"Don’t move. The gift I want is this! For the sake of my birthday today, please don’t move, He Yue." Chi Yan’s tone was almost pleading. In the past two years, he had never been this soft.

"Comrade, please pay attention to your image! This is the front of the military compound, don’t hug each other here!" The sentinel, finding the scene inappropriate, walked out from the guardhouse and gave a military salute to remind them.

Chi Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath of He Yue’s sweet girlish scent, and murmured, "Comrade PLA, just allow me one minute..."

"Chi Yan, stop it... you’ve hugged me already, please let me go?" He Yue tried to push Chi Yan away forcefully, but he held on tightly. She grew anxious and shouted, "If you keep this up, I’ll get angry!"

At this moment, a voice filled with shock and anger suddenly echoed in the night sky: "Yueyue!"

He Yue turned around sharply and saw a young man standing under the streetlamp, wearing a white shirt and jeans, with a backpack on his back. His handsome face was clouded, and there was a hint of hurt in his sharp gaze.

"Bro...brother!" He Yue heard her own voice trembling slightly.

Chi Yan heard the term ’brother’, released He Yue, and followed the voice with his eyes, knowing clearly that this brother was the person He Yue liked.

Seeing Ning Chenguang was very angry, He Yue hurriedly pushed Chi Yan away and ran toward him. She wanted to explain to Ning Chenguang but found she had no words.

"Go ahead. I’ll give you a chance to explain." Ning Chenguang looked down at her.

In just over a week, she was hugging a boy at the compound gate.

"Bro, it’s not what you saw. Today is his birthday, and he wanted a birthday gift..."

"So, this hug is the birthday gift?" Ning Chenguang frowned. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Yes. This is the birthday gift I wanted." Chi Yan followed up, standing right in front of Ning Chenguang, and reached out with a cheeky smile, "Are you He Yue’s brother? I’m her classmate!!"

Ning Chenguang’s cold gaze fixed on him, his fist clenching tightly, feeling the urge to punch him.

"No, no, no, let me explain." Chi Yan noticed Ning Chenguang’s hidden anger. One more spark and Ning Chenguang would explode, but he didn’t do it because he knew if he did, He Yue would definitely stay far away from him in the future, "Today is my birthday, and also my sister’s death anniversary. He Yue looks a lot like my sister, seeing her makes me feel inexplicably close! So..."

"Really?" Ning Chenguang didn’t believe this explanation at all.

"Really, really!" Chi Yan nodded repeatedly, fearing that Ning Chenguang wouldn’t believe him, he even raised his hand to swear, "I swear to the heavens, I’m not lying! If I’m lying, let the skies strike me with lightning!"

"Hey! Do you have to be that vicious to yourself?" He Yue was stunned, couldn’t believe someone would lie and swear, and immediately talk about being struck by lightning.
