Chapter 1730: Chapter 1138

First Watch

.........

"What’s that look on your face?" Zhou Mikang frowned and glared at Zhou Hanliang, "Is it worth wrinkling your face up like that? I think you just can’t stand to see me doing well."

"Division Commander, wronged..." Zhou Hanliang’s face contorted even more, "If I couldn’t stand you being well, how could I have traveled such a long way to follow you? I’m just scared to get hurt."

"Unnecessary!" Zhou Mikang turned around and went back to the tent, Zhou Hanliang quickly followed him in, "With the way you and your wife are stuck to each other..." He sighed, "I also have a wife and child, Division Commander, you can’t be like a full man who doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man."

"Fine..." Zhou Mikang looked up and glanced at him, "I’ll submit your return application tomorrow, soon you’ll be able to see your wife and son."

"Division Commander..." Zhou Hanliang’s expression was beyond words, Zhou Mikang waved him off with disgust, "You already look bad, who are you trying to scare?"

"I was born looking like this, Division Commander has seen it since day one..." Zhou Hanliang put on a pained expression, "If I could go back and grow to look like the Division Commander, I’d endure any suffering."

"Get lost!"

"Division Commander’s temperament is getting harder to figure out..." Zhou Hanliang shrugged, quickly heading outside, "I should avoid him, when the sister-in-law arrives, maybe he’ll go back to normal, then my days might be a bit better..."

As Zhou Hanliang’s silhouette disappeared, Zhou Mikang’s lips involuntarily curled up, followed by a silent sigh; the brotherhood he owes is likely to last a lifetime.

In hindsight, the two have worked together for more than six years, and officially, Zhou Hanliang is his assistant. In reality, Zhou Hanliang has always been 100% compliant with his decisions. Having such a partner is definitely his greatest fortune; otherwise, he wouldn’t have completed this task so outstandingly.

Because of his wife’s foresight, his understanding of many situations was almost completely accurate, and naturally, the judgments he made were much more precise than others. If he had a different partner, it would be difficult to achieve complete acceptance of his decisions...

But at this moment, he sincerely hoped that Zhou Hanliang could consider himself more, go home to see his wife and the son he has never met. As a father, he knows that longing all too well!

Outside the door, Zhou Hanliang’s eyes also turned deep; he certainly understood the Division Commander’s meaning, but how could he become a deserter at this time? For him personally, reaching this level at his age is already a rare exception, and in three to five years, there probably won’t be much movement, so leaving now won’t affect him, but... he couldn’t do it.

Over the past year or so beside the Division Commander, he found that the Division Commander’s control over the battlefield was almost 100% precise. There were several times when the Division Commander made decisions that he questioned internally, but years of trust in the Division Commander made him choose to comply, and the results ultimately proved the Division Commander was completely correct!

If he leaves, the higher-ups will definitely send someone to assist the Division Commander; then, who could provide unconditional support like him? He doesn’t care how far he can go; what he cares about is whether he can stand by the Division Commander’s side and fight shoulder to shoulder!

Being a couple is fate; being brothers is also fate, even harder than the fate of couples.

Of course, he misses his wife and son, wishing this war would end today so he can rush back to see the people he holds dear, but he can’t do that!

He shook his head forcefully, reaffirming his decision, and Zhou Hanliang strode back into the tent, looking seriously at Zhou Mikang: "Division Commander, you can’t send me back; no matter how long we have to stay here, I will persevere."

"You..." Zhou Mikang shook his head helplessly, "I understand; don’t worry, I won’t make arrangements behind your back..." Then, he got up and walked to him, patting his shoulder forcefully, "Write to your family and call them more, when this task is completed, I’ll give you a long holiday."

"Okay." Zhou Hanliang nodded happily, "Even if the Division Commander forgets, I’ll remind you, I’m looking forward to spending a good month with my son."

Zhou Mikang glared at him: "Don’t just think about your son; your wife is more important. Without her, how would you have a son?"

"I know..." Zhou Hanliang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, "Thinking about it is rather miraculous. When I return, I’ll actually be a dad, hehe..."

Zhou Mikang looked at Zhou Hanliang speechlessly; was there truth in what he just said? Anyone who doesn’t know might think he struck gold...

"Report!"

"Come in!" Zhou Mikang replied while sitting back down.

It was Huang Suai, the captain of the medical team; she’s a regular here. Without waiting for Zhou Mikang and Zhou Hanliang to speak, she proactively said: "The supplementary medical team members will arrive this afternoon. I want to ask if the Division Commander and the Commissar have any instructions?"

"Arrange the team members’ meals and lodgings, let them adapt to life here as quickly as possible..." Zhou Mikang paused and then said, "Pay a little attention to the meals over the next few days; don’t let those who just arrived be scared off."

"Alright." Huang Suai nodded and, after a brief hesitation, asked, "Does the Division Commander have any particular instructions regarding Lin Chuxia’s living arrangements?"

"You’re overthinking it."

"I apologize..." Huang Suai looked candidly at Zhou Mikang, "I’m just considering the Division Commander’s situation from a practical standpoint. If you’ve been separated from your wife for over a year, if you request to live together with her, no one would say anything."

Zhou Mikang looked at her indifferently, "I don’t have any objections myself, but my wife is a bit shy, so I won’t put her in a difficult situation, understood?"

"Got it, I understand." Huang Suai nodded. "Rest assured, Division Commander, I know how to handle it." She turned to leave, but after a few steps, she looked back at them, "Lin Chuxia arrived with Wu Jingbo. I’ll arrange for them to share the same dormitory."

"I suggest that when everyone arrives, you should ask who wants to stay in the same room, so no one will be dissatisfied, and it will prevent any emotional disturbances."

"Thank you for the suggestion, Commissar Zhou. I’ll do that."

This time, Huang Suai walked out briskly.

"Actually, she’s not that annoying..." Spreading his hands, Zhou Hanliang looked at Zhou Mikang, "What do you think, Division Commander?"

"Not too annoying, but..." Zhou Mikang shook his head and didn’t continue, "Alright, you get back to your work..." He said as he stood up, "I must remind everyone not to let their guard down due to a few victories. Until the final victory, we can’t relax at all."

Zhou Hanliang smiled servilely, "Yes, this work truly requires the Division Commander. Everyone admires you. Your words are like imperial edicts."

...

"Division Commander Zhou!"

After making a round of the regiments, Zhou Hanliang was heading to his tent when a figure suddenly appeared. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, they would have collided. Unconsciously, he frowned and looked discontentedly at the woman standing in front of him, blushing and greeting him.

"Sorry, it wasn’t intentional..." The woman bowed fervently to him, "I was just walking too fast, and my mind was preoccupied. I... I’ll be more careful in the future."

Zhou Mikang nodded slightly and was about to leave when the woman, in her urgency, stepped forward to block his path, "Division Commander Zhou, I have something I want to ask you, may I?"

"What is it?"

"Is there someone named Zhao Bingbing in the newly arrived medical team?" The woman anxiously looked at Zhou Mikang, "She’s my cousin and has some misunderstandings about me, so I want to confirm first."

"You should ask Huang Suai about this." Zhou Mikang looked at her expressionlessly, "It seems you’re not very suitable for military work. I’ll apply for your discharge."

"No, please..." The woman looked at Zhou Mikang, pale-faced, "Division Commander, you don’t understand the misunderstandings between my cousin and me. I wouldn’t trouble you if it wasn’t necessary.

Previously, I asked Captain Huang, but she said it’s a personal matter and told me to find a solution myself, without disrupting work. I really didn’t know what to do, so I came to you."

"You just asked if there is someone named Zhao Bingbing among the new arrivals, and now you’re saying Huang Suai told you to handle it yourself. Don’t you find yourself contradicting?" Zhou Mikang gave her a slight glance and walked away.

"Division Commander, I was wrong. I should have been honest instead of trying to trap you. I just hope you can tell Captain Huang not to assign Zhao Bingbing to the same group as me.

My uncle and aunt have deep misconceptions about me, and my grandma is also biased. I don’t want any issues when Zhao Bingbing and I are together, or else they will surely blame me.

I’m here to work, hoping to do my job to the best of my abilities. If I have to watch over her while doing my job, I’m afraid..." Biting her lip, the woman looked earnestly at Zhou Mikang, "I’m afraid I won’t do either well."

Since it can be prevented early, why wait for regret later? So, I’m pleading with you, Division Commander. I believe you wouldn’t want the situation I mentioned to occur either."

"Alright." Zhou Mikang nodded, "I’ll tell Huang Suai not to assign the girl named Zhao Bingbing to your group. Remember, this is the last time. If you report bypassing levels again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"I understand, I understand..." The woman nodded repeatedly, "This time was a special situation. I was just too anxious to find a solution, so I came to you. Rest assured, it won’t happen again. I will do my best to care for the injured and help everyone recover soon!"

Without looking at her, Zhou Mikang just walked away...(to be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
