Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1150: Deliberate

"There’s still a long road ahead, it’s not all about this moment." Chuxia glanced at Zhao Bingbing. "Let me stress this again: I came here purely for work, got it?"

"Of course I get it, I’m just worried about you..." Zhao Bingbing hooked her arm through Chuxia’s, lowered her voice and said, "But a person can’t be so rigid, right?"

Wu Jingbo chimed in as well: "Yeah, Chuxia, seeing how your Division Commander’s gotten darker and thinner—doesn’t your heart ache? For him, you’re the best medicine.

It’s rare that things aren’t so tense right now, you should spend more time with the Division Commander. As for people gossiping, let them talk. It’s not like you’re delaying his work, and you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do. Are you really going to avoid each other when you finally get to meet, just because of what others might say?"

"Enough, stop giving me bad ideas..." Chuxia looked at the two of them, exasperated. "We’re on the battlefield right now. The fact that I’m here, in this place, is already enough for him.

When I brought Zhao Zhu and Li Meifeng over, I was worried that if he made it too obvious it would make the team resent me. But without me even reminding him, he handed them over to me and just left.

Other people can see how much effort he’s put in, but I don’t want my coming here to give those with ulterior motives an excuse to deny his efforts.

As long as I have time, I’ll go see him, but there’s no need to go several times a day. It’s not just that I don’t want rumors affecting him; I also don’t want to affect morale.

There are quite a few officers and soldiers here who came after getting married. All of them haven’t been reunited with their families for over a year. If I keep showing up in front of Zhou Mikang, it’ll only make them miss their families even more.

It’s not that they’d try to compare themselves with Zhou Mikang, and they definitely wouldn’t think he’s using connections because of this. It’s just a natural reaction. Think about us: if we hadn’t seen our family for a long time and one of us had family visit, how would that feel inside?

Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. Even though I really want to see him, really want to spend more time with him, I can’t ignore others’ feelings. It’s not fear, it’s because I feel for them.

They’ve been suffering here for over a year. I’m here now, I’ve seen Zhou Mikang, I know he’s safe and healthy and able to stand his post here—that alone makes me really, truly happy."

After a brief silence, Wu Jingbo sighed: "All right, what you say makes sense. Since you’ve already decided, we’ll leave it at that. But you have to remember your own words: when you have time, go see the Division Commander more.

Out of everyone here, he’s the most exhausted—not just physically, but mentally too, he’s bearing the heaviest load. Don’t let worrying about others make you neglect your own husband."

"I know..." Chuxia looked at Wu Jingbo with a smile. "Jingbo, it’s only after coming here that I realized you’re actually really understanding—and you talk quite a lot too."

"With chatterboxes like Xiaoqiong and Xiaoli around, I really couldn’t bring myself to compete with them for airtime..." A hint of nostalgia flickered in Wu Jingbo’s eyes. "But I really enjoyed that feeling of all of us being together."

"So you’re saying you’re not happy being with me, huh?" Zhao Bingbing looked at her with a wronged expression. "I’m standing right in front of you, at least give me a little face."

Wu Jingbo rolled her eyes at her. "Didn’t know you were this sensitive. When did I say I wasn’t happy being with you? It’s just that the few of us used to be together all the time, and suddenly being apart like this takes some getting used to, that’s all.

I used to be so envious of the bond between you all, and I wanted to reach out to you, but because of Cheng Zi I was always too embarrassed to take that step.

Now it’s good. We can be considered really close friends too. When we get back, I’m going to join your little group. Any get‑togethers, any fun stuff—you can’t leave me out."

"Don’t worry, we definitely won’t leave you out." Chuxia patted her shoulder solemnly, but noticed her body stiffen a little. Following her gaze in puzzlement, she saw Zhao Weiwei standing not far away.

Chuxia pulled her up. "Come on, now that you’re here, you need to be mentally prepared to see her every day. You can’t keep reacting like this, understand? You have to treat her like she’s invisible, got it?"

"Okay." Straightening her back, Zhao Bingbing walked forward without so much as glancing sideways. When she passed by Zhao Weiwei, she didn’t spare her a single look. Just because she didn’t want to talk to Zhao Weiwei didn’t mean the other woman felt the same. "Bingbing, I came out specifically to find you. About this afternoon, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have questioned you. I was actually worried about you. Don’t be mad, all right?"
