Chapter 1699: Chapter 1114: News (Part 2)

Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong were also looking at Qi Jie, waiting for his answer.

As for why Doudou asked this question, they couldn’t be clearer. A man who’s this close to his mother—if in a relationship he demands that his wife always yield to his mom—there’s simply no way to live like that.

Even if the mom is reasonable, when two people are sharing one kitchen, clashes are inevitable. If the wife is always the one who has to give way, over time it will definitely explode, and what’s more, as time goes on, the couple’s feelings for each other will be worn away.

After thinking it over seriously for a while, Qi Jie looked at the few of them. "Actually, I understand why you care about this answer. Don’t worry, I do feel bad for my mom, but I’m definitely not the type with no principles at all.

If my wife and my mom really end up in conflict in the future, then when I’m standing in front of both of them, I’ll try to have my wife give my mom some leeway. Once we’re back in our own little world, I’ll apologize to my wife, and whatever my wife says goes, I’ll follow her unconditionally."

This answer was proper and by the book, and also quite satisfying. Moreover, you could hear Qi Jie’s sincerity in it—it definitely wasn’t something he’d just made up to bluff them.

"Alright, I’m out of questions. What about you two?" Yun Doudou looked at Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong. "The elders have given us this space; don’t let it go to waste."

Knowing what the three were thinking, the elders took the children and got into the mid-sized van, leaving the three of them and Qi Jie alone in the off-road vehicle. That was why Yun Doudou said what she did.

"Listen to you—someone who doesn’t know better would think we just love meddling in other people’s business..." Chuxia rolled her eyes helplessly at Yun Doudou, then looked at Qi Jie. "We’re just doing what we were asked to do. I hope Big Brother Qi doesn’t mind."

Qi Jie waved his hands again and again. "I don’t mind, I don’t mind, how could I mind? It’s my honor that you’re giving me this chance. I’m really happy we had this opportunity to lay some things out, so they won’t turn into irreconcilable conflicts later."

Up to now, what they could ask and couldn’t ask, what should be asked and shouldn’t be asked, had all been asked. There really wasn’t anything else to continue with, so they switched topics and started talking about some funny stories from school.

Clearly, Qi Jie also relaxed. He’d been away from school for several years, and now he had the chance to go back and "re-smelt" himself. He really liked this chance to relive student life; once he got talking, he became a bit unstoppable. This made Chuxia once again confirm a saying: being introverted or extroverted, talkative or quiet, isn’t absolute. In the right environment and in the right soil, even an iron tree can bloom!

After returning to the Capital City, the three of them called Liu Meijun at the first possible moment and gave her a detailed report of everything they’d accomplished along the way. With a few kids chiming in with their highs and lows of childish voices, Liu Meijun on the other end of the line was so envious—when would she be able to be with them too and enjoy such a lively life?

This was how things unfolded between Qi Jie and Liu Meijun. They wrote each other a letter every few days, and from time to time Qi Jie would come to the Lin Family to give Liu Meijun a call. So even though they weren’t meeting in person, their feelings were heating up at high speed.

Liu Lianbao’s injured leg had fully recovered, and he returned to the division, so the people running to the Lin Family every day to cultivate feelings now included, besides Qi Jie, another one: Zhao Qihui.

Time kept steadily inching forward. By the time of Longlong and Huhu’s hundred days old banquet, Division A still hadn’t been ordered to pull back. Not only had they not returned, another division had been sent over as well.

Chuxia and Zhou Mikang would call each other every few days. From the other end of the line she learned that the situation was getting tenser and tenser, and for the moment, it was impossible for them to come back.

This wasn’t something human effort could change. Not wanting the person on the other end of the phone to worry about her, Chuxia swallowed down all her disappointment and comforted Division Commander Zhou: "Don’t worry, the kids and I are doing just fine. Mom, Grandma, and Big Sister-in-law are all here with me, and as for Father and Mother, even more so—they’re with me every day, cooking good food for me. As long as you take good care of yourself, that’s enough."

"Do you miss me?" Division Commander Tongzi’s voice carried obvious anticipation.

"Of course." Chuxia didn’t tease him; she answered seriously. "Of course I miss you, and I’m hoping you can come back a bit earlier. But you’re a soldier; I can’t afford to act that spoiled, so when you get back, you’ll have to treat me twice as well."

"That’s no problem at all..." After a pause, Division Commander Tongzi said, "Xia, there’s something I need to tell you. Ye Meiru has come over; she’s with the medical team right now. Don’t overthink it. I’m telling you because I don’t want you to hear it from someone else and start imagining things.

She’s not the same as before. Even though she’s come to the division, she never takes the initiative to seek me out. Apart from normal work, she has no contact with me at all.

Also, that Zuo Hai who used to trail after her so closely came out with her too. He’s also with the medical team now. The two of them are basically inseparable, like shadow and form.

Later, you should tell Zuo Jiang too, so their family can be at ease."

This news still shocked Chuxia quite a bit. Under those conditions, Ye Meiru had actually managed to get out!

"How did she end up in the medical team?" Chuxia asked. "Wasn’t it said that she’d already been expelled from the army and couldn’t be a soldier anymore?"

"If you can make it out of there, some punishments can be revoked. Of course, Ye Meiru being able to come to the front line isn’t only because she got out; there’s another very important reason—she saved an important person. The condition she put forward to that person was to become a member of the frontline medical team. It wasn’t that big a deal, so they agreed." (To be continued.
