Leng Yinghong: "!!!"

Battalion Commander!?

Applying for housing!?

She knew that the soldiers who came to the village to help them were all from the capital.

If she were with this man, not only could she become the battalion commander's wife, but she could also move into the military compound with her family after the housing application was approved!

Oh my god!!!

Leng Yinghong felt as if she had been hit by a huge pie falling from the sky!

She now has only one thought in her mind: seize Zhou Jinglan as a springboard to leap over the dragon gate! Her life is about to change!

As the recollection ended, Zhou Jinglan stared at the snow-white ceiling in the ward, his eyes nearly blurring, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

It turns out... it was all a lie!

He thought he had found the Little Goddess by luck, but in the end, she took him for a fool and was actually impersonating her!

He was especially worried about what would happen next.

After that reunion, he and Leng Yinghong kept in touch.

During the mission, he confirmed their relationship. After the mission ended and he left, the two continued to correspond. Leng Yinghong was illiterate and could not write, so she asked someone in the village who could read and write to write for her. During their correspondence, they discussed their plans to get married.

Zhou Jinglan had even started preparing to apply for a house and planned to decorate it as their wedding home.

fine……

Heaven was kind to him, allowing him to learn the truth before a real disaster occurred.

It's not too late!

Zhou Jinglan is not afraid. What he has most right now is time, which he can use to properly resolve these lingering problems.

Fortunately, he found the real little goddess—

Thinking of Qiao Xinruo, he couldn't help but think of himself now.

With his wretched appearance, he is completely unworthy of the little goddess. Why should he drag her down?

Besides, Qiao Xinruo is so good-looking, she has no shortage of suitors. His conditions used to be considered good, but what are they now?

"Let's not mention anything, so as not to cause them any unnecessary trouble," Zhou Jinglan said dejectedly, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

He has decided not to reveal his true feelings to Qiao Xinruo for the time being.

When the conditions of both parties are too different, his good intentions can only be considered a burden to others, and he is too ashamed to speak again.

But he still had to acknowledge the kindness he received from his childhood, since Qiao Xinruo had genuinely saved his life.

If it weren't for that rescue, how could Zhou Jinglan be where he is today?

Once I recover from my injuries, I will have to formally express my gratitude.

Those who deserve gratitude should still be repaid.

Zhou Jinglan closed his eyes, concealing all his emotions.

Yet, she couldn't stop fantasizing.

If only... he hadn't been injured this time, or if his injury hadn't been so serious...

Does that mean at least some hope has been preserved?

But then he changed his mind.

Regretting what has already happened won't change anything; it will only breed more resentment in your heart. He's not a complainer.

Moreover, Zhou Jinglan did not regret saving the person.

Compared to his own petty thoughts, Niu Niu's life was clearly more important.

At least, Niu Niu was saved because of him.

Just like Qiao Xinruo who bravely rescued him, he saved a little girl's life through his own efforts. This is how he took the hope from others and spread it to more people.

"I am a soldier, this is what I should do!" Zhou Jinglan comforted himself.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Su just mentioned scar removal cream..."

Zhou Jinglan turned to look at the scar removal cream in the cabinet. He had asked his brother to buy it for him after inquiring about it.

I heard that this stuff costs 5 yuan for a tiny jar, and not only that, you have to rush to buy it; there's a daily limit. I wonder if it even works...

Hopefully, it will work, so that the various scars on his body can be removed, and at least he won't look so terrible.

Once his leg recovers, he should be able to return to his previous state, without affecting his physical condition or his future development in the military. At that time, he might still have a chance to pursue Qiao Xinruo.

The colleagues in the medical department got along well, and everyone took good care of Su Yueya, who was pregnant.

Her current work schedule is very relaxed, and she usually stays at home during her days off.

Or do some handicrafts, like making some fabric for the baby.

Su Yueya hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time. When asked, the reason given was to prevent her from being exposed to cooking fumes and to avoid prolonged contact with cold water.

But I'm also worried that if I'm too idle and lack exercise, it will be inconvenient when I give birth.

"Sister, you should take more walks around the compound when you have free time. Walking counts as exercise," Qiao Xinruo reminded her.

Walking is a relatively gentle activity that provides exercise without causing too much stimulation.

“Okay, I’ll move around more while I’m resting,” Su Yueya said.

They were all from the same military compound. Many soldiers and their wives knew about Lu Zhengjun's sacrifice and, seeing Su Yueya's belly, knew she was pregnant.

However, judging from her open and honest attitude, one could guess that she was carrying Lu Zhengjun's posthumous child.

Because of their good character, whenever they encountered other people in the courtyard, everyone would stop and chat for a few minutes, showing concern for Su Yueya and the child, making their walks less boring.

That afternoon, Su Yueya was strolling around in the courtyard.

There was a bend ahead, and as she walked forward, a person came out from that direction—it was Mo Youyou, who was out for a stroll with her child in her arms!

Su Yueya: "..."

What does it mean to meet your nemesis on a narrow road? This is it!

Su Yueya didn't want to have anything to do with Mo Youyou. Although the baby in her arms, Chao Xiong'er, was still a small infant and posed little threat, Mo Youyou was not an infant and was far more dangerous.

Su Yueya needs to protect herself.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best.

Unfortunately, while she wanted to hide, others didn't.

As Mo Youyou emerged from the bend, she saw Su Yueya and her large pregnant belly—

I get angry just looking at it!

Even though Lu Zhengjun sacrificed herself, in the end, Su Yueya still got pregnant?

How could Mo Youyou not be angry?

If Su Yueya hadn't been pregnant, she would have been a widow without children, while Mo Youyou was better in both aspects. Now that she had a child, she was better in only one aspect, which made Su Yueya feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, who is this?" Mo Youyou's words were laced with an unmistakable sarcastic tone. She exaggeratedly said, "Long time no see, your belly has gotten so big!"

What was supposed to be a perfectly normal greeting was made to look unpleasant by Mo Youyou.

Su Yueya was not a bored person, nor did she want to have any pointless conflicts.

Even if Mo Youyou was the one who provoked her first, she planned to pretend she didn't see it.

So, Su Yueya chose to turn around and leave.

This made Mo Youyou even angrier.
