Besides, he still has Mo Cheng above him, so why was he chosen?

Speaking of this, Mo Cheng's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Isn't this all about you? What exactly is going on between you and Lu Zhengjun? In front of everyone, he suggested that you lead the team, and all the regimental commanders and deputy commanders supported him. What could I do?"

Liu Dekai's face paled slightly; he thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he could only say in a low voice, "I don't understand either. The last time the Lu Group came back from a mission, it was the first time I met him. I casually said that we could spar sometime, and who knew he would agree right away."

"I thought it was just a simple sparring match, but with so many people watching, he attacked me too brutally. And these past few days, I've been trying to ease the tension, but for no apparent reason, he seems to harbor a lot of malice towards me."

Liu Dekai thought that Lu Zhengjun must be sick.

Or perhaps, he's genuinely upset that he stole the spotlight and overshadowed him?

Of course, he didn't dare say those two sentences out loud.

He was afraid that if he spoke out, his future father-in-law would laugh at him for overestimating himself, because he himself felt that Lu Zhengjun really didn't need to be upset about this.

Mo Cheng's furrowed brows looked so deep they could trap a fly. Liu Dekai couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Mo, can't you send someone else? I just brought my mother here. She's getting old, and I'm worried about not being able to take care of her at home. Besides, Youyou doesn't want me to go so far away."

Mo Cheng knew what he meant and snorted coldly, "The regimental commander and deputy regimental commander who just came both support you to go. They make up more than half of the deputy regimental commanders and regimental commanders. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Only you can go."

That's really surprising.

Liu Dekai never expected that so many people would vote for him.

It's probably because nobody wanted to go, and those people implicitly considered Lu Zhengjun as their leader, which is why they supported him going.

Liu Dekai didn't think that much about it.

But the matter is already settled, and nothing we say will change anything.

Time was of the essence; he was leaving tomorrow, so Liu Dekai had to hurry back to pack his luggage.

Zhang Cuihua lived in the family compound. Liu Dekai went back early to pack some things and then told his mother.

He wouldn't be back for at least two months, so Liu Dekai left some money for his family, telling Zhang Cuihua not to be too frugal and to go to the military hospital to see a doctor if she felt unwell. He also asked the wives of several military families next door to take care of his elderly mother.

After giving his instructions, Liu Dekai returned to his unit.

He still has some things in his dorm room, so I'll go check if he's packed them up.

Mo Youyou was waiting downstairs. She found out immediately that Liu Dekai was going on a mission that would last about two months.

"Dekai!"

Mo Youyou hugged Liu Dekai tightly, inhaling his scent, feeling very reluctant to part.

"You'll be gone for a month or two this time, leaving me all alone in the army. I'll miss you!"

Mo Youyou spoke in a coquettish tone, her voice soft. The woman seemed to have a natural fragrance, faint yet perceptible, which even filled the air.

Although Mo Youyou is not particularly attractive, or even considered pretty, she is very good at using her feminine traits.

When she was with Liu Dekai, she would often act coquettishly. Occasionally, when Liu Dekai was away from the army for a few days or had to go on a mission, Mo Youyou would come to see him off in advance.

The thought of not being able to see each other for the next two months made Mo Youyou very reluctant, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

"Oh dear, why did Dad send you so far away? Honestly, you don't even know how to refuse. Wouldn't it be better to just go on a mission near the capital? You can come back in a week or two."

Mo Youyou stomped her foot, displaying the demeanor of a young girl.

But Liu Dekai just happens to fall for this.

He hugged Mo Youyou tightly and whispered, "Youyou, I also hate to leave you. Don't worry, I will complete the mission as soon as possible and come back to see you."

"Yes, I believe you."

Mo Youyou smiled.

This separation would last for two months. Mo Youyou was reluctant to part with Liu Dekai, so that evening she took him for a walk and chatted with him until very late before going home.

On the other side, Lu Zhengjun went to the market to buy some vegetables and then prepared to go home to his family compound.

His smile never faded throughout the entire journey.

Liu Dekai was, after all, a deputy battalion commander, so Lu Zhengjun really couldn't find fault with him.

In addition, Su Yueya is currently living in the family compound. Although Liu Dekai doesn't go back often and their compounds are not in the same place, if they were to run into each other, things would get serious.

Having such a person constantly hovering in front of her made Lu Zhengjun feel extremely uncomfortable. Now that she finally had a way to get him away for a while, Lu Zhengjun was naturally going to take action.

When she got home, Su Yueya had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her.

Lu Zhengjun put everything in the kitchen, then went to wash her hands and eat.

Are you tired today?

"I noticed you didn't bring your clothes back either. How are you going to change and wash them in the army?"

"Although you're not staying here right now, you can bring any clean clothes you have. I also need to do laundry, so we can wash them together."

Su Yueya likes to chat while eating, and Lu Zhengjun will always reply to whatever she says.

Hearing this, Lu Zhengjun couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Su Yueya treated him so well, cooking and washing clothes for him, simply because she thought he was her husband.

But he himself had deceived Su Yueya.
