Chapter 1731: Chapter 1139: Arrival

Second night watch.

-------------

"Better put your thoughts away early, it’s useless!"

Suddenly turning her head, seeing the woman standing behind her, Zhao Weiwei’s lips curled into a mocking smile: "Anyone has the right to remind me, except you..." She looked the other up and down again, the contempt in her eyes deepened, "Even if you managed to get out of that place, so what? Even if you saved Minister Li, what can you do?

No matter where you go, your past scandal will buzz around you like flies. If you’re truly unwilling to accept this, go settle scores with the one who made you this way. Yelling at me, what skill does that show?"

"Haha..." Ye Meiru shook her head with a light chuckle, looking at Zhao Weiwei with amusement, "Since my good intentions are taken for donkey’s liver and lungs, then pretend I said nothing."

"You having good intentions?" Zhao Weiwei’s lips curled with a bright smile, "I wouldn’t believe even a ghost story if you told me that, Ye Meiru. We’ve known each other for years, we both know the other’s heart. I won’t pretend in front of you, and don’t pretend in front of me, okay?"

"Alright." Ye Meiru nodded, "Precisely because we’ve known each other for years, and because I think you’re talented in this regard, though not as good as Huang Suai, you’re still outstanding among your peers. That’s why I kindly remind you, when you fall and break your head later, don’t blame me for not fulfilling a friend’s duty."

"Who considers you a friend?" Zhao Weiwei snorted coldly, "Ye Meiru, don’t scare me with those words. Rao Ying is your friend, and now she’s neither human nor ghost. I don’t want to be friends with you and then not know how I lost my life."

"Fine, consider me talkative." Saying this, Ye Meiru turned and left, Zhao Weiwei pursed her lips, dazed for a moment, before heading toward the medical team, her mind a tangled mess.

Once, she thought Lang Yi was a rare good man, seeing him flirting with her sister made her inner cat scratch with turmoil. Eventually, she acted to snatch him away.

But when she met Zhou Mikang, she realized what a truly good man was—accomplishing the rank of Division Commander before reaching thirty! If she could marry such a man, who else would dare look down on her?

Initially, Zhou Mikang’s name merely felt familiar, but with Ye Meiru’s appearance, she finally remembered that this Division Commander Zhou had been a pair with Ye Meiru before.

Ye Meiru’s past actions were crystal clear to her, and once reminiscing, her contempt for Ye Meiru deepened. Back then, holding such a great gold ingot in her hand, Ye Meiru had thrown it away! When she regretted it and tried to pick it back up, it was too late!

Who else would return a picked-up gold ingot?!

However, after learning who picked up this gold ingot, her thoughts began to churn—a little country girl without any background, what’s there to fear? If he truly cared for that little village girl, how could Division Commander Zhou agree to go on a mission right after the child was born?

At first, she was full of confidence, thinking it easy to attract Division Commander Zhou’s attention with her skills and looks. To achieve her goals promptly, she worked harder than anyone, snatching duty shifts, rushing to lift injured soldiers, grabbing... any chance to appear before him!

Things went as she imagined, most of the troops remembered her, and their gazes were full of goodwill. Division Commander Zhou even named her in commendation during a meeting!

She only cared about his praise!

As long as he noticed her, everything she did was worthwhile.

She had considered, what if she got seriously injured or lost her life? Immediately she’d harden her resolve, realizing you couldn’t catch a wolf without risking the child. If truly injured or dead, that was just her fate, nothing to regret.

To her, living a mundane life was inferior to risking death for a chance, this being the fundamental reason she joined the medical team. Given her family’s situation, even if she didn’t volunteer, no one would say anything.

But for such a long time, she desired progress without any advancement. She had maximized her opportunities to appear before him, yet he remained as cold as ice.

She considered joking to ease the atmosphere, but every time she gathered courage to approach, seeing him dispelled all her courage.

Now, his wife was about to arrive... She suddenly slapped her forehead, why be entangled? Wouldn’t that little village girl arriving create a stark contrast with her?

It’s said that Division Commander Zhou hadn’t been with the little village girl long after their marriage before taking leave. Since then, they hadn’t spent much time together. In the honeymoon phase, a man who’s just tasted marriage would inevitably idealize his partner. After being apart for so long, even a pig could be elevated to goddess status. Once they meet face to face, who among them is truly better, more suitable, or should leave will be clear enough!

She managed to win over Lang Yi; she’ll definitely win over Zhou Mikang too! It’s already good enough that she doesn’t mind him being a divorced man, yet he’s still giving her the cold shoulder!

She patted her forehead, oh, what nonsense is she dreaming up? Actually, even if the other party is twice-divorced, she is still out of her league, what right does she have to complain...

...

After getting off the train, Chuxia and the group were packed into a large truck, stuffy inside it for three hours. Just when their hearts, livers, and lungs were about to jump out from the jolting, the vehicle finally came to a halt.

"Oh my God, if it goes on any longer, I’m going to die," Zhao Bingbing exhaled deeply, shielding her eyes with her hand to look outside. The suddenly harsh light forced her to cover her eyes, "Oh no, I’ve been suffocated blind."

Chuxia and Wu Jingbo also covered their eyes for a moment to adjust their vision before letting go. In sight now was an even more desolate place than before, and with particularly sparse vegetation...

The truck’s side cover clanged down as the boys and girls who already got accustomed began to stand up one by one and disembarked. Around the truck, soldiers were already waiting there to assist the ladies.

"Dajiang?!" Upon seeing the strong man standing at the truck’s side cover, Chuxia’s eyes curved up with joy. She really didn’t expect that the first person she’d see once she got off the truck was him!

"Sister Chuxia." Luan Dajiang smiled shyly, reaching out to help Chuxia down, and whispered, "I volunteered to come; I knew you were coming over, my brother-in-law told me."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you over there." Since there were a lot of team members who hadn’t come down yet, Chuxia sensibly stepped back and stood behind Luan Dajiang to let him handle the others first.

"I’ll handle it..." Another dark-faced young soldier came over and gave Luan Dajiang a nudge, "Dajiang, go ahead and get busy; I’ve got this covered."

"This is my sister..." Noticing the odd smile on the other’s face, Luan Dajiang quickly explained, "She’s also the wife of our Division Commander."

The young soldier’s face turned a deep, embarrassed purple, stammering, unsure of how to justify himself to Chuxia. If the Division Commander knew what he just said, would he get punished?!

"No problem, Dajiang and I are about the same age, it’s normal to get mistaken." While talking, Zhao Bingbing, Wu Jingbo, and Lv Xiaomei had already descended, surrounding them. Luan Dajiang recognized Wu Jingbo, greeted her, and then somewhat awkwardly looked at Chuxia, "This is Zhao Bingbing; this is Lv Xiaomei, both older than you."

"Sister Bingbing, Sister Xiaomei." Luan Dajiang greeted as he took the luggage from their hands, each finger wrapped around a strap. Chuxia looked at him amusingly, "Dajiang, with so much stuff taken over, can you really carry it all?"

"Of course I can." Luan Dajiang exerted some strength, actually picking up the whole pile of bags, and headed towards the medical team’s dormitory. "I’ll settle you in first, then we’ll talk."

Chuxia, Wu Jingbo, Zhao Bingbing, and Lv Xiaomei were assigned to the same room, which was arranged with Huang Suai’s consultation with Chuxia’s opinion. Helping the four carry their luggage into the room, Huang Suai looked at Chuxia with a big smile, "I didn’t expect we’d meet again here. Honestly, I really admire your courage. If it were me, I might not have been able to make such a choice."

"Captain Huang, you’re too kind. You’ve been here for over a year, how could you not have made a choice like mine?" Chuxia replied politely and courteously.

"You’ve been on the road for days and must be tired. Once your beds are settled, you can go to the water room to the west to wash your face and hands..." Huang Suai directed these words at the others. After speaking, she pulled Chuxia aside, "I have something to say to you, let’s step outside."

"Sis..." Waiting outside, Luan Dajiang saw Chuxia come out and quickly approached, glanced at Huang Suai, and smiled a bit nervously, "Brother-in-law asked me to bring you to him."

"Who would have thought Division Commander Zhou would have such urgent moments..." Huang Suai smiled and shook her head, letting go of Chuxia’s hand, "I really didn’t know the Division Commander made such arrangements. I brought you out to send you over, but since the Commander has arranged it, there’s no need for me to overdo things..." Pausing, she added, "You’ve just arrived, rest for a night first, specific tasks will be arranged tomorrow."

"Sure." Chuxia nodded and walked out with Luan Dajiang, "How is my big brother? How is Luo Hongqi?" Chuxia asked.

"Uh, Brother Qiliang and Brother Hongqi are doing well. They’re on duty outside today; otherwise, they would’ve come to pick you up for sure." Luan Dajiang smiled happily, "I managed to catch up with my shift at four in the afternoon."

"Is Zhou Mikang very busy?"

After a moment, Luan Dajiang realized who Chuxia was asking about and quickly replied, "Busy, the Division Commander is particularly busy. If he hadn’t noticed a few suspicious people, my brother-in-law would’ve personally come to fetch you. I bet by the time we get there, my brother-in-law will be back. Sis, you don’t know, everyone here treats my brother-in-law as an idol!" (To be continued.
