At the hospital.

Pei Hengzhi arrived in the evening.

He brought Zhao Lanxi and Song Qianqian with him when he arrived.

"Old Lu, I'm sorry it's so late to come see you." Pei Hengzhi brought a lot of fruit. "I should have come when I saw you were injured that day, but I was called back to the camp that afternoon and I've been busy until today."

These past few days, the camp has had a special mission, and Pei Hengzhi has been so busy that he hardly has any time to sleep.

Political Commissar Yu happened to be here today. Upon hearing Pei Hengzhi's words, Political Commissar Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You're being too formal. It's normal to be busy with our work."

They were all comrades-in-arms. No matter when Pei Hengzhi came to see Lu Jingnian, as long as he came and showed his sincerity, Lu Jingnian was very grateful.

"Thank you for coming to see me," Lu Jingnian said politely to Pei Hengzhi.

Pei Hengzhi smiled and said, "Commissar Yu just said I was being too formal, but you're being too formal by thanking me too."

As the men were talking, Song Qianqian, who had followed them in, looked around the ward and suddenly interjected, "Where's Jiang Yue?"

Lu Jingnian said, "Yueyue went back to rest today."

"ah?"

Song Qianqian seemed very surprised, her eyes wide with disbelief. "With Battalion Commander Lu so seriously injured, how can Jiang Yue go home to rest without worry?"

“Last time my dad was sick, my mom took care of him in the hospital for more than a month.”

After saying that, Song Qianqian noticed that everyone was looking at her. It seemed like she was a beat late in the morning before she realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that Jiang Yue didn't care about Battalion Commander Lu. I was just a little surprised that Jiang Yue had gone home to rest."

Isn't that the same thing?

Jiang Zheng's face was very unpleasant. Jiang Yue was his sister. This woman was trying to sow discord between his sister and brother-in-law right in front of him. Did she think he was dead?

Before Jiang Zheng could speak, Lu Jingnian said.

"Your dad really doesn't care about your mom at all. Taking care of patients in the hospital is very tiring."

Yueyue took care of me for a whole week. She couldn't eat or sleep well in the hospital, and I felt so sorry for her. I persuaded her for a long time before I finally let her go home to rest.

As Lu Jingnian spoke, he looked at Song Qianqian with curiosity, "By the way, Miss Song, your father is sick, and you didn't go to the hospital to take care of him. You only let your mother take care of him."

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you don't care about your mother. I'm just surprised that your father is sick and you're leaving your mother to take care of him alone.

Political Commissar Yu and Jiang Zheng, who were standing to the side, almost burst out laughing.

When Lao Lu is thinking about yandere, his mouth is still as sharp as ever.

"I don't……"

Song Qianqian's eyes reddened from what he said. How could Battalion Commander Lu be so tasteless, saying such hurtful things to a young girl?

"Qianqian, you and your cousin should go out first." Pei Hengzhi looked at Song Qianqian with a bad expression.

He came to see Lu Jingnian out of concern for his comrades, but he never expected Song Qianqian to say such things and sow discord between the couple. How could Lu Jingnian possibly view him?

Song Qianqian felt extremely wronged. She wasn't wrong. Jiang Yue was able to go home to rest when Lu Jingnian was injured, which clearly showed that she didn't care about Lu Jingnian.

However, when she met Pei Hengzhi's sharp and displeased gaze, Song Qianqian didn't dare to argue anymore. She bit her lip and followed Zhao Lanxi out.

After the two left, Pei Hengzhi apologized to Lu Jingnian with a guilty conscience.

"Old Lu, I'm sorry, Qianqian was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

We've all seen how good Jiang Yue has been to you since you got married.

Everyone in the battalion knows how good Jiang Yue is to Lu Jingnian.

Pei Hengzhi was a little envious. He even couldn't help but wonder a few times if he were the one who married Jiang Yue, would Jiang Yue treat him even better than she treated Lu Jingnian?

After all, Jiang Yue used to be really, really good to him...

Lu Jingnian wasn't angry at all. "Of course Yueyue is good to me. She even said she would be even better to me in the future. I won't get angry at her because of what others say. She is my wife, and I will only love and pamper her."

Pei Hengzhi stared at Lu Jingnian in shock. He never imagined that Lu Jingnian, who usually had a cold face and rarely spoke, would say such a thing.

Commissar Yu was really about to burst out laughing; his shoulders were trembling as he struggled to hold it in.

Seeing Pei Hengzhi staring blankly at Lu Jingnian, clearly stunned by Lu Jingnian's words, Political Commissar Yu quickly pinched his thigh to suppress his laughter and spoke to Pei Hengzhi in a calm tone.

"Hengzhi, don't be afraid. After Lao Lu got married, he was spoiled by his sister-in-law to this extent. Now he can't stand anyone saying a bad word about his sister-in-law."

Jiang Zheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, Hengzhi, you'll get used to it."

"I see."

Pei Hengzhi finally snapped out of his daze after Lu Jingnian's words and nodded with a smile, but in his heart he was wondering how Jiang Yue could spoil a man like Lu Jingnian like this.

Since it was getting late, Pei Hengzhi didn't stay at the hospital for too long. He exchanged a few more words with Lu Jingnian and the other two, and after learning that Lu Jingnian's injuries were no longer serious, he quickly left.

After everyone left, Political Commissar Yu couldn't help but look at Lu Jingnian and burst out laughing, "After so many years, I actually saw that sharp-tongued old Lu again."

Lu Jingnian glanced at him and replied indifferently, "I just don't like it when people say bad things about my wife."

After saying that, Lu Jingnian ignored Commissar Yu, picked up the book that Jiang Yue had left for him on the bedside table, and began to read it.

Jiang Yue had Shen Huaiyuan bring him these magazines today, which were full of information about the recent stock market trends and stock price fluctuations.

Sitting to the side, Jiang Zheng frowned and said, "This Song Qianqian is just like Zhao Lanxi; she's always targeting Yueyue."

Zhao Lanxi targeted Yueyue because Yueyue used to cause her trouble. What's the reason for Song Qianqian's actions?

Jiang Zheng really didn't understand what these women were thinking all day long.

It's better to be with Yaoyao; she doesn't have so many thoughts, and you can just tell her whatever's on your mind.

Political Commissar Yu understood a little better: "Song Qianqian is now making money off Zhao Lanxi, so she's doing this to please Zhao Lanxi."

Because of Pei Hengzhi, as long as Zhao Lanxi and the others didn't cause too much of a scene, they couldn't say anything.

Not wanting to talk about Zhao Lanxi and Song Qianqian anymore, Political Commissar Yu suddenly asked Jiang Zheng.

"How are things between you and Yaoyao? Did she react when she saw you this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingnian put down his book and looked at Jiang Zheng.

When Duan Suyao was mentioned, Jiang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "No, we got along very well this time."

Political Commissar Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You've had such a tough time all these years. You've waited so many years, and now you're finally getting your reward."

Lu Jingnian also said, "I went on this mission with her this time, and her emotions have been very stable. Maybe she really is alright this time."

Jiang Zheng's smile softened as he thought of Duan Suyao. "As long as she is alive, as long as she is well, I am willing to wait for her for as many years as I can, even for a lifetime."

(good evening!)
