Chapter 1720: Chapter 1130: Asking for Help

Second update.

---------

The fact that she comes from another parallel universe is something that can never be told to Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan. No matter how immature Chuxia might have been in the past, she was their precious daughter. If they knew another soul was now inhabiting their daughter’s body, they’d certainly be deeply hurt.

Even if she told them that their real daughter was living a very happy life in her world and had matured a lot, they wouldn’t believe it; they’d just think she’s trying to comfort them.

Therefore, this matter will remain a secret from everyone except Zhou Mikang.

This also means she can’t reveal her true intentions of wanting to go to the frontline to anyone, and her decision carries a bit of a stubborn streak.

Initially, she thought it would be difficult to get approval from her parents, but it turns out her father is surprisingly open-minded. His worry, reluctance, and inner conflict are evident, but he wants to fulfill her wish.

As for her mother, even though she still doesn’t understand why Chuxia made such a choice, with her father’s consent, it was only a matter of time before her mother also agrees.

Most of the time, it’s Zhao Yulan who calls the shots in the family, but as long as Lin Baohe made up his mind, Zhao Yulan has always supported him. Therefore, her parental obstacle is essentially resolved.

"Dad, Mom, you have to believe me. I’m thinking of you, of Nannan and Beibei, of Grandma and Grandpa, of everyone on Grandma’s side, of all the family members at home. How could I bear to let anything happen to myself?"

I don’t want to deceive you either. Today, Zhao Bingbing and her grandma specially came to meet me and visit our home, and there was a reason for it..." Chuxia then honestly told her parents about Zhao Bingbing’s boyfriend being taken away and Bingbing’s worries.

At this time, discussing national duties wouldn’t help since it would only make her parents feel worse. Hence, she couldn’t speak the real reason, but this excuse was perhaps the most plausible.

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe understood her relationship with Zhou Mikang well, so now that their son-in-law had an invisible explosive device by his side, it was normal for their daughter to be concerned.

"Alright, Mom agrees too, but you must remember what you promised. Come back safe and sound without a single scratch, or Mom will never trust you again in the future!"

"Okay!" Chuxia happily hugged Zhao Yulan, "I knew Mom would agree. Dad and Mom are the most open-minded parents in the world, I’m so lucky!"

"Being agreeable means being open-minded, not being agreeable means being old-fashioned?" Zhao Yulan glared at her daughter, "Don’t be happy too soon. Even though your dad and I want to support you, will your husband’s family agree?

Your current medical skills are mediocre, so you might not be able to help much. You can’t tell them you’re worried some other woman might be trying to take your husband away. Let’s see if they’ll agree, it’s uncertain."

"I know it’s difficult on that side too, so I spoke to Dad and Mom first because I need your support to give me confidence..." Chuxia paused, her lips curling into a smile, "As for them, I should let Zhou Mikang persuade them while I wait for the result."

"That’s a good idea!" Lin Baohe agreed with a nod, "Summer, go ahead. Tell Xiaomi you want to go over. Let the Zhou family side be handled by him. If it’s proposed in his name for you to go over, it’s different from you requesting it yourself."

"Right, as soon as he calls, I’ll tell him."

Phone calls on Zhou Mikang’s side are confidential, so it’s impossible for Chuxia to call him. All she can do now is wait, and she’s checked the final deadline for the expanded medical team, she still has twenty days and won’t miss it.

It wasn’t until the following evening that Zhou Mikang’s call came through, his voice full of weariness: "Summer, what’s the urgent matter?"

"You just got back from a mission?" Chuxia’s heart involuntarily ached a bit. Seeing how busy and dangerous he was, she felt like she couldn’t bring herself to tell him about Zhao Weiwei.

"Yes." Zhou Mikang replied, continuing to ask, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened, it’s just I wanted to get your opinion on something. I want to come to your side..." Chuxia paused, then explained, "I want to join the medical team. I want to stay by your side and accompany you during this time. Nannan and Beibei are fine without me now."

The other end of the call was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why did you suddenly have this thought?"

"Because I miss you." Unable to provide another reason, Chuxia resorted to acting cute.

Zhou Mikang’s content laughter came from the other end, after a moment he asked, "Just because of this?"

"Yes."

"Then don’t come over. This isn’t a fun place. Summer, if you were very skilled in combat or medicine, I wouldn’t stop you from coming.

You know the current situation. If you come here but can’t take on many responsibilities, the impact won’t be good. And if you’re asked to take on tasks, I’d be genuinely worried.

Listen, just wait for me at home. At most, I’ll be back in a few months. Just know, I miss you terribly too, I wish I could see you right now. But I can’t be selfish. If you stay at home, study well, take care of yourself, I’ll feel especially motivated, okay?"

"No." Chuxia immediately rejected, "I’ve discussed it with Mom and Dad, and they agreed for me to come find you, Zhou Mikang. We’ve been apart for over a year. If you don’t let me come, I’ll shift my affections!"

Zhou Mikang chuckled lightly: "If you dare shift your affections, when I return, I’ll cripple the man you shifted to and take you back, spanking you as punishment!"

"Horrid, I’m not joking with you, I’m serious. You can’t be like this..." Chuxia stomped her feet in anger, "Don’t forget, aside from skills in combat and medicine, I have other talents that no one else has. I can definitely help you."

"You’ve already told me those, you know I know it all. Rest assured, I’m good at remembering, and if you don’t believe me, I’ll repeat to you everything you’ve shared with me?

Moreover, because of what you told me, several battles were planned in advance, winning without losing a single soldier, Summer, you’re my lucky star. I can’t bear to let you take a risk, let’s not mention it again."

"Zhou Mikang, you can’t be so overbearing. I’m your wife, so I should lead by example at times like these. Others can come, why can’t I?

Besides, I’m not asking to fight on the frontline, I’ll mostly be in safe areas, meeting every few days, won’t that be great? After getting married, we haven’t spent much time together before you left. If this goes on, I’ll start feeling distanced from you.

Also, isn’t Ye Meiru over there too? I’m worried and want to be with you. I can’t let you fall for her tricks again. Plus, other women might be eyeing you too, I won’t let my guard down.

If you don’t let me come, it means you’re hiding something from me, afraid I’d expose you. If you don’t want me suspicious all the time, agree with me and inform the family elders that with you assuring my safety, they’ll certainly be relieved too."

"You..." On the other end, Zhou Mikang was truly helpless. He understood his little wife’s personality quite well; in the face of such a detailed explanation, her persistence meant she was determined.

If he didn’t agree, she might find a way to come over. Rather than letting things escalate between her and the family elders, it’d be better to fulfill her wish.

Once she comes over, he’ll assign someone to watch her closely, making sure she doesn’t wander into dangerous areas. Although it might seem like he’s abusing power for personal reasons, who cares?

His earlier concerns of gossip were merely excuses to deter her. In reality, does he need to worry? Over the past year, his achievements would surely silence any critic.

The little wife has contributed remarkably to his accomplishments.

They haven’t seen each other for over a year, and he misses her passionately. Were it not for the photos of her and the kids he carried, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t sneak back for a visit.

Previously, he thought men making reckless decisions out of love seemed senseless. Now, experiencing it himself, he realized loving and caring for someone makes anything conceivable.

"Did you agree?" Seeing Zhou Mikang silent for a while, Chuxia teased again, "I knew you wouldn’t stop me."

"Alright then, you’ve made your point. What else can I say?" Zhou Mikang sighed, "Don’t rush, I’ll gradually talk the elders through it. They’re opposing you not for other reasons but out of safety concerns, so even if they’re upset at you, you mustn’t be upset with them, okay?"

"Of course." Although Zhou Mikang couldn’t see her, Chuxia nodded vigorously, "I wouldn’t be mad at them; they’re worried about me. Otherwise, upon hearing I’m going to take care of you, wouldn’t they agree joyously? I’m a sensible person, don’t worry, okay?"

"You’re quite clever but just won’t listen..." After thinking, Zhou Mikang said, "Bring recent photos of Nannan and Beibei when you come over. Also, take some of Longlong and Huhu so Hanliang and Qiliang can see their children’s appearance."

"Alright." She agreed verbally, but inside she felt a wave of sadness. Indeed, military personnel are the most lovable. Though their children are several months old, they don’t even know what they look like yet...(To be continued.
