Chapter 1778: Chapter 1168: A Small Gathering

First update.

----------

"Then congratulations to Third Brother in advance..." Chuxia smiled cheekily at Lin Wenjie, "But Third Brother has to drag Big Brother into getting married too, otherwise he’ll just take his sweet time."

"Absolutely." Lin Wenjie nodded seriously, "I don’t need your reminder to pull him along, he’s old enough already, still dawdling around.

If he’s not worried, how long does he plan to keep Sister Yuan Hui waiting? It’s already quite admirable of her to overlook his mess and still want to marry him, what with his marriage fears—a grown man scared of marriage, it’s ridiculous! Sometimes I really feel like smacking him awake, he’s too pretentious!"

"Haha..." Chuxia started laughing, "If Big Brother knew your thoughts, he’d definitely smack you first. You’re just wrong about his fear of marriage; it’s just an excuse, he’s really concerned about not keeping Sister Yuan Hui waiting."

Lin Wenjie rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction: "That’s his fault too. If she doesn’t like him, she’d already have backed away ages ago. Those who are fond of him don’t care about what happens with him; doing this is just his conceited notion that he’s considering the other person, but really, he’s just hurting her!"

Chuxia nodded in agreement: "True, let’s both talk to him later. Encourage him to write more letters and make calls to Sister Yuan Hui, can’t let her grow cold-hearted. He’ll regret it if he’s left crying later."

"Exactly, he’s the epitome of arrogance, since childhood that’s his way—seeing things clearly for others, but when it’s his matters, he constantly hesitates.

At the root of it, he’s just too kind; otherwise, he wouldn’t worry so much..." Lin Wenjie sighed heavily, looking helpless, "Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hurt so deeply before..."

"Alright, that’s all in the past, don’t dwell on old scores. Isn’t he over it now?" Chuxia comforted him with a smile, "Don’t worry too much, Big Brother isn’t as fragile as you imagine."

"You’re right, I’ve also become overly worried now. In the past, I didn’t bother with these things..." Lin Wenjie scratched his head anxiously, "My mom really stresses me out with her nagging."

"Eldest Uncle’s Wife also wants Third Brother to persuade Big Brother?"

Lin Wenjie showed a face of grievance: "Yes, Big Brother is busy and can’t call home often. My mom never stops nagging me, like I can control things."

Chuxia threw him a knowing glance, not feeling a bit sorry for him: "She’s right to nag you, who told you to make such a sudden decision? Eldest Uncle’s Wife and Granny were really hurt by it, a little nagging is the least you deserve!"

Lin Wenjie laughed guiltily: "If I hadn’t hidden it from them, they definitely wouldn’t have let me do what I wanted. Look at me now, haven’t I improved a lot? If I had listened obediently, I wouldn’t have progressed this much."

"Nice excuse!" Chuxia glanced at the time, "I’ve got to check the wards, not going to chit-chat with you. You wanted to document my entire day’s work, so start now."

Thus, that day, wherever Chuxia went, Lin Wenjie followed her, leading some team members who weren’t in the know to suspect he was a fervent admirer.

Some even gossiped secretly about the boldness of someone eyeing the Division Commander’s wife...

"Seems like you’re quite popular." During a break, Lin Wenjie teased Chuxia quietly, "They all know you’re the Division Commander’s wife, yet they aren’t envious or speaking ill—remarkably rare indeed."

Chuxia smugly raised an eyebrow at him: "Of course."

"Lin Chuxia!"

A loud shout startled Chuxia, and when she turned around, it was Fang Tingxiang, also a fervent admirer of Zhou Mikang, purely as a fan.

"Hello." Chuxia greeted her courteously, and seeing Fang Tingxiang’s angry look, she guessed what was going on instantly. Before she could be questioned, Chuxia introduced, "This is my cousin Lin Wenjie, he’s the brother of B Group’s Leader Lin Wenbin."

"Your... cousin?" Fang Tingxiang hesitated, scratching her head, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, my father and his father are cousins."

"Sorry, I misunderstood..." Fang Tingxiang looked embarrassed, "I heard a guy was always with you, I thought... haha, I’m sorry."

"No problem..." Chuxia waved generously, "Those who don’t know are innocent. My cousin is a war reporter and wanted to follow me today to document the work of our medical staff."

"Oh, oh..." Fang Tingxiang nodded repeatedly, waving her hand without looking up as she left, "You two be busy, I have some things to do over there."

"Another admirer of Zhou Mikang?" Once Fang Tingxiang disappeared, Lin Wenjie looked at Chuxia displeased, "This is too much! Never a quiet moment!"

"You can’t blame him for this. Is it wrong to stand out? But thankfully, she likes him without any untoward intentions, never opposing me. Sometimes, she even deliberately protects me—actually quite likable."

"You really have a good temper." Lin Wenjie looked helpless, "No matter what, before figuring out the situation, she comes yelling and questioning. Who does she think she is?"

"That’s just her straightforward nature. Back when Zhao Weiwei had inappropriate intentions towards Zhou Mikang, it was her who kept an eye on Zhao Weiwei, preventing any improper actions."

"Forget it, if you’re not mad, why should I be angry?" Lin Wenjie waved his hand, "Luckily I planned to follow you around today, otherwise I wouldn’t know any of this.

I don’t care if he’s a regiment commander or whatever, any problems I’ll report to the elders at home, and when he goes back, he can explain it himself."

"Alright then, I won’t stop Third Brother from doing that..." Chuxia laughed with curved brows, "Good, I’d actually love to have a few more people helping me teach him a lesson. Otherwise, the higher he climbs, the more his tail will be raised."

Lin Wenjie: "..." He was just bragging, even if he actually told the elders, would they dare lecture Zhou Mikang? He’s the youngest division commander with outstanding war achievements! Moreover, some of their past actions weren’t to Zhou Mikang’s liking.

...

Chuxia and Lin Wenjie had lunch in Zhou Mikang’s tent, and after the meal, as the two were casually chatting, Division Commander Zhou finally returned, dusty and clearly having been out surveying terrain again.

"Is the food here to your liking?" Zhou Mikang smiled and punched his cheap little brother-in-law, "You’re much sturdier than before."

"Good day, Commander!" Instinctively, Lin Wenjie stood at attention and saluted.

Returning the salute, Zhou Mikang patted him, "We’re family, no need for formalities."

"Yes." Lin Wenjie replied properly, making Chuxia roll her eyes out of exasperation, he was just about to go report and deal with him, and now look at him—does he look like it?

Lin Wenjie also felt a bit embarrassed, his bragging was really shameful.

"When you go back, take this to Wenbin." Zhou Mikang took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Wenjie, "I planned to send someone, but since you’re here, you can deliver it."

"Sure, I’ll make sure to complete the task." After hesitating a moment, Lin Wenjie added, "But I plan to return in the evening, will it be a delay?"

Zhou Mikang waved his hand, "No delay, it’s fine if you give it to him tomorrow." Then he chuckled at Lin Wenjie, "You can relax a bit, I’m not going to bite you. Seeing you sit so formally is tiring."

"Ah..." Exhaling with a wry smile, Lin Wenjie said, "It’s usually so hard to see you, and now that I do, I can’t help but feel nervous."

"Third Brother..." Chuxia deadpanned, "Were you bragging to me all along?"

"Uh, you two chat, I’ll go take a walk, and we’ll meet later in the wounded area." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wenjie had already disappeared from the tent, leaving Chuxia speechless as she shook her head, "With that kind of courage, how embarrassing."

Then she looked at Zhou Mikang, "I heard about your popularity with women here, they even said they’d report it to the elders to stand up for me, but he himself acted like a mouse in front of a cat when he saw you, haha..."

"Nonsense, when was I ever popular with women?" Zhou Mikang looked displeased at his little wife, "You just love to wrong me, tell me who I’ve ever entertained?"

Chuxia snorted, "Ignoring them doesn’t mean you aren’t popular. Ever since we got married, you’ve had one suitor after another, whether openly or secretly, daring to speak or not, it’s been continuous."

"Is that my fault?" Zhou Mikang pulled his little wife into his arms without care, sealing her lips...

Struggling a bit was useless, so Chuxia gave up. Her body softened bit by bit, and feeling the other’s passionate body, her face involuntarily flushed red to the neck...

Though they’ve always been together, they’ve never crossed any lines. In such places and circumstances, Chuxia truly had a mental barrier. Zhou Mikang went along with her wishes, but it was obvious he was holding back with much difficulty.

Finally, fresh air came in, and Chuxia took deep breaths, unable to avoid giving her mischievous commanding officer an annoyed look. He was terrible, wasn’t he just trying to suffocate her?!

This wasn’t annoyance, it was clearly seduction, wasn’t it?!

The commanding officer, who had calmed down, couldn’t resist again. So, when fresh air entered once more, Chuxia behaved, not daring to make any unusual movements.

In broad daylight, if things really got out of hand, she’d feel like burying herself in a hole!

Feeling a bit sorry for him, she lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "Let’s talk tonight."

His eyes brightened immediately, Zhou Mikang’s expression filled with joy, "Alright." (To be continued.
