Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1732: Chapter 1140: Reunion

First night watch.

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

Chuxia wasn’t surprised that the soldiers idolized Zhou Mikang. With his military talent and her help, it would be more surprising if the soldiers didn’t see him as an idol. Therefore, she didn’t continue the conversation with Luan Dajiang, but instead shifted the focus to him: "Have you contacted Hanying recently?"

"No..." Luan Dajiang blushed, "Back then she thought I was too young and not mature enough, so I thought I’d wait until I was more mature to contact her."

"Didn’t she write you letters or call?" Chuxia asked, looking puzzled at Luan Dajiang. She remembered that after Zhou Hanying figured things out, she decided to pursue Luan Dajiang again. Could it be that she only said it but didn’t actually do anything?

"She wrote letters and called..." After a pause, Luan Dajiang sighed, "But I’m afraid she might change her mind again, so I didn’t reply to the letters or answer the calls."

Chuxia frowned slightly: "With your attitude, Hanying might think you’re not interested anymore. What if when you return, she’s already found someone else?"

With another sigh, Luan Dajiang looked bitter: "If she has found someone else, then perhaps she feels someone else suits her better. I... I’ll just wish her well."

"Lacking resolve!" Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "If you really like her, seize the opportunity. Or maybe your real thoughts are, since you’re inclined to be with me, why can’t you hold out a little longer, wait a while?

But you’re ignoring one thing, age is harsher on women than on men. Zhou Hanying is already older than you, and regardless of societal pressure or practical considerations, she can’t afford to wait."

"Sis, I understand, and I get it. I’m really not blaming her; I just feel..." Luan Dajiang scratched his head awkwardly, "I feel I’m somewhat unworthy of her. If by the time I’m worthy, she’s already found someone else, then it just means she isn’t meant for me, nor am I meant for her."

"Pretty open-minded..." Chuxia gave him a playful glance, "Anyway, weigh it carefully yourself. Aunt has been worried about this all along. By the way, you’re not actually interested in Zhang Dongzi’s sister, are you?"

Originally, Zhang Yingzi and Luan Dajiang both had mutual feelings, but back then Luan Dajiang hadn’t joined the army yet, and the Zhang family rejected the match.

After Luan Dajiang joined the army, Zhang Yingzi wrote to him, hoping they could rekindle their relationship. Even Zhang Dongzi, who had initially opposed, was now keen to make it happen.

That’s why Chuxia asked this question. From her heart, Chuxia didn’t favor Luan Dajiang being with Zhang Yingzi. That family was too utilitarian, and her aunt and uncle were honest people. She sincerely hoped their lives wouldn’t fall into endless trouble due to their son’s choice.

After hesitating for a while, Luan Dajiang seriously looked at Chuxia: "Sis, if I say I don’t like Zhang Yingzi at all, would you think I’m ungrateful?"

"Of course not."

Luan Dajiang sighed in relief: "Sis, even if things don’t work out with Zhou Hanying, I still won’t be with Zhang Yingzi. Her letters are either complaints or demands—it’s not my style."

"Not bad, not bad..." Chuxia looked at Luan Dajiang with satisfaction, "I didn’t expect you’ve really matured. I was worried you’d still be hung up on your first love, but now I can truly relax."

"Hehe..." Luan Dajiang chuckled awkwardly, "Thanks to you, sis. Without you, I’d probably still be stuck in the village. Not only Zhang Yingzi wouldn’t fancy me, but even girls with worse conditions probably wouldn’t.

In the end, due to what others say and for my parents, I might have just picked anyone to marry, regardless of how life turned out—just muddling through a lifetime."

Chuxia took a good look at Luan Dajiang and shook her head with amusement: "Dajiang, is this really you?"

"Sis..." Luan Dajiang blushed, "I’m speaking from the heart; I’m not saying this just to make you happy."

"I know, I understand, that’s why I’m curious..." Chuxia laughed, "Not to mention back home, even in A City, you’ve always been the quiet type. Knowing this big change has happened, aunt and uncle will be overjoyed. I’ll write to them tonight to share the happiness."

"Seems like I really was too foolish before..." Sighing again, Luan Dajiang continued, "Sis, when I first set out, I was somewhat scared, not knowing if I’d see my family again.

But once I got here, all my worries and fears vanished, especially seeing comrades getting injured or sacrificing themselves—I just wanted to kill all those bastards myself!

The longer I stay here, the clearer my mind becomes. Things I couldn’t understand before naturally make sense now, and I have a better grasp on the life I will live in the future.

Before, I thought everyone had to get married, and I was no exception. I even believed that finding a woman who looked acceptable for a lifetime was the greatest happiness.

But now, I feel that whether it’s comrades or lovers, what matters is compatibility. If two people are compatible, everything goes smoothly; if not, things won’t work out and might even get messed up.

To make my life more comfortable and to ease my parents’ worries, I will definitely choose a woman who aligns with me; she’ll be good to my parents, and I’ll be good to hers.

Anyway..." Luan Dajiang scratched his head, looking at Chuxia with a dilemma, "I can speak the grand principles, but I understand them in my heart. Sister, you understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand..." Chuxia nodded, "Dajiang, I don’t regret letting you join the army at all, and I don’t regret letting you experience this matter at all."

"Hehe..." Luan Dajiang chuckled silly, "Luckily, you didn’t stop me, or else I might never live with such understanding."

"Not necessarily, but surely, you wouldn’t grow as quickly as you have now..." Thinking of those times when she wanted to stop Luan Dajiang from joining the army, Chuxia felt secretly thankful, "You should thank Aunt and Uncle the most. I already told them the truth, and they didn’t stop you. They’re really open-minded parents, and they’re your greatest fortune."

"Yeah." Luan Dajiang nodded, "I know, I’ll definitely be good to them, making them proud of me for the rest of their lives, not bullied by anyone!"

The two of them chatted all the way to Zhou Mikang’s tent. A young soldier stood at the tent entrance, looking to be in his early twenties. Chuxia didn’t know him. As they were stopped, Luan Dajiang explained, "Zhang Ping, this is the Division Commander’s wife, Lin Chuxia."

"Hello!" The young soldier named Zhang Ping quickly saluted, "Ma’am, please come in. The Division Commander instructed that if you arrive, you should rest for a while in the tent." He then turned to Luan Dajiang, "Sorry, the Division Commander didn’t mention inviting you in."

"Sister, then I won’t go in. You rest first, I’ll go get you some food."

Before Chuxia could speak, Zhang Ping added, "The Commander has already prepared meals for Ma’am, they’re on the table in the tent. Hot water is in the thermos at the table’s edge. The Commander said, after eating, take a nap, he’ll be back soon."

Luan Dajiang waved to Chuxia, "Sister, you go inside. I’ll head back now, see you later."

"Alright, see you later." Chuxia smiled at him and added, "If you don’t dislike Hanying, write back to her. Some things can’t always be measured by your own thoughts. Knowing each other, being familiar, it’s always good."

Blushing, Luan Dajiang swiftly glanced at Zhang Ping, nodded vaguely, and dashed away like he was escaping.

What’s there to be shy about? Chuxia thought wryly, rubbing her forehead as she turned and went into the tent.

Inside the tent was a table and several chairs. Along the side was an unfolded single bed with bedding spread on it. A warm feeling surged in Chuxia’s heart. Given Zhou Mikang’s character, he certainly wouldn’t set up a bed in the tent during the day, obviously, this was specially prepared for her.

The insulated lunch box on the table contained rice and fried potatoes. Besides that, there was an opened can of luncheon meat, with a small note beside it, "The food here is of this standard, make do, fill your stomach, hurry to bed and sleep!"

Seeing the glaring exclamation mark, Chuxia’s eyes involuntarily welled up. Although a bit domineering, being cared for like this felt really wonderful.

Especially in a place like this, given Zhou Mikang’s status, being able to make such arrangements was truly remarkable. Not to mention, among these rough men, they love to tease about such attentiveness. Some men, although caring, would never do this for the sake of so-called ego. She’s fortunate to have met a man who genuinely cares for her and doesn’t compromise her for ego!

The potatoes look plain, but taste quite good. After finishing everything in the lunchbox, Chuxia sat at the table and read a book for a while. When sleepiness crept in, she lay down on the bed and entered dreamland to meet Young Master Zhou.

It’s not that she’s callous, but she has enough faith in Zhou Mikang. After going through so many trials, this little trouble couldn’t possibly harm Zhou Mikang, it’d be a joke!

Zhou Mikang walked into the tent and saw the lovely person sleeping soundly curled up on the bed, and his heart immediately melted. After waiting so long, finally, they could meet!

Tiptoeing to the bed, he crouched down, greedily gazing at the cherished face he longed for day and night, his hand instinctively reaching to her forehead, only to forcibly pull back. The long journey took almost five days; she must be exhausted! No matter how much he wanted to hold her in his arms, he couldn’t bring himself to do it! (To be continued.
