Yang Xilin walked out of Zhan Junlin's office. After walking out, he did not leave immediately, but went into the bathroom. After a while, he saw Zhan Junlin also walked out of the office. Judging from the direction he was going, he was going to find Xue Xiao. Was the matter they wanted to talk about related to him?

Ever since that mission when he threw Luke into the pool and Zhan Junlin ordered that he must be kept alive, Yang Xilin knew that he had done something wrong.

After returning to the military region, he learned that someone was collaborating with the enemy, but they were the only three people in the army who knew about it, which made him even more uneasy.

In special times, people are very sensitive. He was sure that he heard his own name on the phone, but Xue Xiao and Zhan Junlin didn't want him to know when they were talking. Why? Did they really suspect him?

But it was useless for him to think about it. He could only follow the arrangement of his leader. He returned to the dormitory first. For so many years, he had lived in the same dormitory with Gu Dongle. Although Gu Dongle went to South City to recuperate, his bed had never been moved. But now he had to move.

He wanted to put away all of Gu Dongle's things and then change Shao Xiu's bedding and sheets. Actually, he asked the orderly to do these things. Maybe he was a little nervous, so he planned to do these tasks himself. But before doing so, he still called Gu Dongle first.

"Have you finished the rehearsal? How come you have time to call me?" Gu Dongle was really flattered when he saw Yang Xilin's call.

"Of course I'm calling you because I have something very important to tell you."

"What's the matter? You sound quite depressed. Did we lose the exercise?"

Lost the exercise? There was no exercise.

"It's not about the exercise. I called you this time to tell you about a job transfer in the army." Anyway, Gu Dongle couldn't hide this matter from him in the end, so he told him now, "Shao Xiu has been transferred back from the border to take over your job temporarily. After you come back, the army will make further adjustments."

Originally, Gu Dongle wanted to take a nap before Yang Xilin called him, but when he heard this, he jumped up and now he really couldn't sleep at all.

"Yang Xilin, what did you say just now? You said Shao Xiu was transferred back from the border to take over my job temporarily. What do you mean? Do you mean he has become your new partner, and you two have become the chief's deputies?"

"Yes."

"..." Gu Dongle was extremely shocked, and then he thought of what Yang Xilin had said before, and couldn't help but complain, "Yang Xilin, you are such a bad mouth. When we just came back from the border with the leader, you told me to work hard and be careful that Shao Xiu would replace me in the future. Now it's all right, right? Your words have come true, right?"

Yang Xilin did say this before, but it was just a joke at the time and he didn't expect that what he said would come true now.

"It really hurts my heart." Gu Dongle now feels very cold. Although it will take a long time for him to return to the team, and it is normal for his job to be vacant and replaced by someone else, he must feel sad knowing it.

"So what do you think? Are you going to only listen to the newcomers' laughter and ignore the old ones' cries? Are you very happy after getting a new partner, and then you get tired of the old and love the new?"

"Gu Dongle, are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about? We have been partners for so many years, and you were replaced at the last minute. How can I be happy?"

In fact, Yang Xilin is quite nervous now. The incident of someone collaborating with the enemy already made him feel uneasy. Now he has been assigned a new partner. He is not familiar with Shao Xiu at all. He needs to slowly get used to each other and he doesn't know how they will get along.

If Gu Dongle was there, he could tell him about his depression and anxiety, but Gu Dongle was not there, so he had no one to talk to.

"Your words make me feel better. So what are you thinking now? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or do you miss me, your old partner?"

"..."

"Why don't you say something? I'm still recovering from my injuries, and I don't know how long it will take for me to return to the team. Shao Xiu is younger than me, and he was already a major before me. He is also more capable than me. It is very likely that he will replace me after working for a while.

Alas, I don’t know how my body will recover in the end. If it doesn’t recover well, when I return to the team, they might send me to the kitchen.

I didn't even get to attend the military parade, and someone else took over my job. You just called me to tell me the cruel truth, but you didn't even say a word of comfort?"

"Okay, I'll comfort you." Yang Xilin now felt that he couldn't even comfort himself. He was perfunctory to Gu Dongle, but in fact, he was also perfunctory to himself. "We have been partners for so many years, and you must still understand me. No matter how good the new partner is, no matter how capable Shao Xiu is, in my heart, he is definitely not as good as you in every way..."

Yang Xilin had just said this when he turned around and saw Shao Xiu walking in. The moment he saw Shao Xiu walking in, he was petrified, as if he had been caught speaking ill of someone behind their back!

When Zhan Junlin was arranging work for him just now, didn't he say that he would be discharged from the hospital in two days? Was he discharged early?

"That's better, Yang Xilin, you still have some conscience..."

Gu Dongle felt like a bolt from the blue when he heard the news. Although he had followed Zhan Junlin for many years, he had to admit that Shao Xiu was better than him.

Just like in the workplace, there is never a shortage of capable people. If someone takes a long vacation and his job is temporarily replaced, it is very likely that he will be adjusted when he comes back, and he will not be able to do his original job. He understands this.

Gu Dongle was still talking nonstop on the phone, while Yang Xilin on this side was already pale and too embarrassed to say anything.

"Okay, I'm busy now. I won't talk to you for now." Yang Xilin said perfunctorily, and then hung up the phone. Then he looked at Shao Xiu and smiled awkwardly: "Major Shao, are you discharged early?"

"I had a checkup today, and the doctor said there was nothing serious, so I was discharged." Shao Xiu heard what he said just now, and he said hurriedly, "When I was in the hospital, the commander told me that I would take over Major Gu's job until he came back from his illness.

Because I need to be a partner with Colonel Yang during this period and have a deeper understanding and contact with him, I will temporarily live in Major Gu's former dormitory. When Major Gu returns to the team after recuperation, I will apply to the commander for a transfer.

Colonel Yang and Major Gu have been partners for so many years, and Major Gu has been with the commander for so many years, I can't replace him."

Hearing Shao Xiu say this, Yang Xilin felt even more embarrassed and quickly explained: "Shao Xiu, that's not what I meant just now, I just...just..."

Yang Xilin suddenly wanted to slap himself. What happened to him? Was he completely panicked?
