Made Yourself Forget

Cold sweat suddenly dripped from underneath Brother Blue's beanie. Did he just cross the line of their supposed familiarity? He then waved his hands frantically. "S-Sorry, General Xu!" He then grabbed his mouth as his voice had attracted the attention of other passers-by. He then spoke in a hushed voice, "I didn't mean to be so blunt."

Xu Rouguang also noticed that his brows furrowed, creating some sort of misunderstanding. He just sighed and waved his hand to dismiss the earlier topic. "It's fine; let's forget it. Anyway, are you headed to Chartreuse?"

"Uhm, not exactly. I'd head there a little later. I'm going to see my friends for now." Brother Blue answered truthfully. However, Xu Rouguang still stared at him for some reason.

"Friends, huh." Xu Rouguang murmured. Why did that word put a bitter aftertaste in his mouth? He just discreetly shook his head and hummed. "Alright, just report to me when there's something worth our attention."

"Roger that."
