On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
"Uncle! Waaah..." The little girl lay by the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Uncle, how did you get so badly injured?"
"Uncle, when will you get better?"
"Waaaaah... Uncle..."
The little girl was very upset. She thought that she had already been cured, and the soldier uncle who protected her should have recovered as well. Why was he still lying in bed, wrapped up like this?
“Niu Niu,” the little girl’s parents quickly stepped forward and pulled her away. “Niu Niu, be good, don’t touch the uncle. He’s not fully recovered yet. If you touch him, he will be in a lot of pain.”
“Uncle…” Niu Niu looked into Zhou Jinglan’s eyes with reddened eyes, “Uncle, are you in pain?”
Zhou Jinglan really wanted to smile and comfort the little girl so she wouldn't cry.
But he can't laugh at all right now.
"It doesn't hurt, Niu Niu, don't cry," Zhou Jinglan said softly.
"Uncle Zhou, let me blow on it for you. Mom said blowing on it will make it stop hurting!" Niu Niu carefully moved closer, not daring to get too close to Zhou Jinglan, and gently blew on the gauze bandage he was wearing.
"Uncle, you must get better soon!"
"Okay, Uncle promises you, I'll get better soon."
Niu Niu's parents were extremely grateful to Zhou Jinglan and even tried to kneel down, but the soldiers who were taking care of Zhou Jinglan quickly helped them up.
“Protecting the people is our duty as soldiers, brothers and sisters, you don’t need to do this,” Zhou Jinglan said.
Niu Niu stayed with Zhou Jinglan for a while before her parents took her away, worried that the little girl's presence would affect Zhou Jinglan's rest and recovery.
About two weeks later, Leng Yingying came to the medical department again.
She came back in high spirits.
"Dr. Su!" Leng Yingying was now very familiar with Su Yueya's office and ran there quickly.
"What's the good news? You look so radiant," Su Yueya asked. She could sense that Leng Yingying was especially happy today, so something good must have happened.
"Guess!" Leng Yingying feigned mystery, but it didn't last long.
Because her true feelings will reveal everything!
Look at me! Look at me! Look at my clothes!
Qiao Xinruo happened to be there too, and the two sisters subconsciously began to study Leng Yingying's clothes, and then the answer came to mind.
"Oh, so you got promoted. Congratulations!" Su Yueya said.
"Congratulations," Qiao Xinruo said.
[It's nothing special, just a small step for this queen!]
[A mere platoon leader, nothing special!]
[Once I reveal my true strength, then... heh heh, what military rank will be nothing but a piece of cake!]
"Oh, it's nothing really, just a lowly platoon leader..." Leng Yingying said, but her expression betrayed her.
She didn't "dislike" the platoon leader. Although his position wasn't high, she had only been in the army for a short time.
If you show this resume to others, they'll only be envious.
"I knew you hadn't been coming to the medical department as often lately. I thought you didn't want to see me. Are you out on a mission?" Su Yueya said casually.
“Yes,” Leng Yingying nodded, sitting down familiarly and without any hesitation, she started eating Su Yueya’s snacks. “A while ago, the higher-ups said there was a mission, and they selected a few new recruits to participate, and I was one of them…”
【Huh, why are all these snacks my favorites here today?】
[The hostess is so kind, I'm so touched, the food is so delicious!]
Su Yueya: "..."
How could she not know?
Every time Leng Yingying came to eat at her place, she couldn't hide her true feelings when she tasted something delicious, making it hard for Su Yueya not to know.
After a while, Su Yueya prepared more of Leng Yingying's favorite snacks.
"Well, because I performed quite well, there was a change in the positions of the female soldiers. A deputy battalion commander retired, and the others were promoted. So I was elected as the platoon leader!" Leng Yingying said.
[Hmph, what do you mean by "performed well"? This queen's performance was nothing short of spectacular!]
[Actually, I only showed a small part of my abilities. I couldn't help it; I easily amazed everyone. What can I do if I'm just too outstanding?]
Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo found it extremely amusing to watch Leng Yingying act so calmly in front of them while listening to her lavish praise on herself in her inner thoughts.
The two sisters exchanged glances, both finding it amusing.
Su Yueya had long known that Leng Yingying would definitely be promoted in the future, but to her surprise, it came so quickly.
"You've worked hard, Platoon Leader Leng, congratulations again!" Su Yueya said, deliberately calling her Platoon Leader Leng.
"Congratulations, platoon leader Leng." Qiao Xinruo followed suit.
Leng Yingying thoroughly enjoyed being addressed as "Platoon Leader Leng".
[Comfortable! Relaxed!]
Su Yueya rarely mentioned Zhou Jinglan in front of Qiao Xinruo anymore, but today was a rare opportunity, and she thought she might be able to get some information out of Leng Yingying, so she brought it up again.
"By the way, did you encounter any danger during your mission?" Su Yueya asked, trying to steer the conversation away from being too abrupt.
As expected of twins, Qiao Xinruo understood as soon as Su Yueya asked the question.
She wasn't opposed to it, after all, she had already decided to tell Zhou Jinglan the truth to prevent him from being deceived and to prevent Leng Yinghong from using her identity to deceive people again.
Therefore, Qiao Xinruo did not stop her.
With her arms crossed, Qiao Xinruo watched quietly from the side, intending to hear how her sister would try to extract information and what news Leng Yingying would release.
"No," Leng Yingying replied straightforwardly.
What danger could there be in such a small task?
Su Yueya: "..."
Qiao Xinruo really wanted to laugh. Her sister was practically flirting with a blind man. She had set the stage, but unfortunately, Leng Yingying's answer wasn't suitable for her to respond to.
But Su Yueya was fearless.
"Oh, it's good that there was no danger. Unlike the mission Xinruo went on a while ago, the soldier was seriously injured. He had a broken leg and extensive burns. He almost lost his life," Su Yueya said.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
She secretly gave Su Yueya a thumbs-up behind her back.
That's really impressive!
Regardless of whether Leng Yingying responds or not, the topic is being deliberately shifted, forcefully steer towards Zhou Jinglan.
"Is it that serious?" Leng Yingying asked in confusion.
Are all male soldiers this incompetent?
The two sisters: "..."
Is the problem with the food?
"Yeah, it's quite serious, but he was lucky to run into Xinruo. With Xinruo there, his leg was saved. Oh right, Xinruo, I remember you said that person's name was Zhou... Zhou Jinglan, right? He's also a battalion commander, isn't he? Didn't you say last time that your sister's fiancé's surname is Zhou, and he's also a battalion commander... Oh, could it be the same person?" Su Yueya feigned surprise, covering her mouth as if she hadn't expected such a coincidence.
