Chapter 1164 A Little Lie Made of Kindness
I went back to the house and packed up all my things so that I wouldn't have to do it again when I got home in the evening. Looking at the watch I bought for Fu Yancheng, I realized that apart from just reporting to Fu Yancheng that he was safe, I hadn't called him since then. My heart skipped a beat. It's over. How could I have completely forgotten about this?
He slapped his forehead and didn't even bother to pack his things. He quickly ran to the public telephone booth outside the guesthouse. At first, he didn't know the phone number of the guesthouse. When he called to report his safety, he just said that he would tell Fu Yancheng the phone number of the guesthouse next time. But after that, he was really busy every day, and later he simply didn't think of calling.
But she really can't be blamed for this. Before, she would only call Fu Yancheng if there was something important. Usually, it was Fu Yancheng who called her first. Of course, this excuse was just something she thought of.
On the other side, Fu Yancheng, who had just returned from a mission, ran to the Communications Company immediately after reporting to his leader: "Have you received any calls from me recently?"
After all, all incoming calls will be registered here.
After searching through several registers, he found no incoming call. Undeterred, Fu Yancheng was about to look through them again when he heard a call taker ask, "Who are you looking for?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "I'm looking for the commander of the third battalion, Fu Yancheng."
"Who are you to him?"
"I'm his lover, Xiao Chuxue. Please transfer me."
Fu Yancheng had excellent hearing, so he immediately rushed over and took the call from the operator: "Xue'er, it's me."
Chu Xue was stunned when she heard the anxious voice from the other side: "So fast?"
Fu Yancheng naturally understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile and explain, "I came back from a mission and just happened to come over to see if you had called me. Would you say we're telepathically connected?"
When he said this, he didn't avoid the operator in the communications room at all.
This made the operators look at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the cold-hearted Captain Fu had such a side to him. Many female comrades in the army had tried to please him before, but he always looked cold. They didn't expect that he would talk to his wife like this.
Everyone was staring at Fu Yancheng without any scruples at this moment, because he was busy chatting with the person on the other end of the phone and didn't notice their gazes at all.
When Chu Xue heard that he had just returned from a mission, she quickly tried to make amends, "Yancheng, I've been very busy. I have to get up early every morning to rush to the Canton Fair, and I translate all day long, and then I have to have meetings with everyone at night to check for omissions and discuss various response plans for the next day. I was busy for a while, and only after I got things done, did I have time to call you. But then I learned that you were on a mission, and I didn't know when you would be back, so I didn't call again.
"Well, the team leader booked train tickets to go back tomorrow, and I thought I'd try my luck. I didn't expect to find you so quickly. Just like you said, we really are on the same wavelength."
Upon hearing that his wife was taking the train back tomorrow, Fu Yancheng exclaimed, "That's wonderful! I'll pick you up at the station the day after tomorrow. I'm so happy!"
I originally wanted to say "I miss you so much", but I thought it was not the right occasion, so I stopped talking.
The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Thinking that he would see his wife the day after tomorrow, he forgot that she had mentioned calling him before, and left the communications company with a smile on his face.
He hadn't gone far when he ran into Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, who was looking for him: "What brings you here?"
Upon seeing his expression, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen exclaimed, "Oh, so you've managed to get in touch with your wife?"
Fu Yancheng said proudly: "Of course, as soon as I arrived at the Communications Company, your sister-in-law called me. Tell me, do we think we are in sync?"
Looking at his arrogant demeanor, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen said with a hint of sarcasm, "It really is true that one thing can subdue another. I never thought that our dignified, stern, and cold-hearted Battalion Commander Fu would have such a day."
Fu Yancheng rolled his eyes at Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, his expression hardening. "Speak, what brings you here?"
Deputy Battalion Commander Shen turned around and followed Fu Yancheng's steps: "I just ran into Instructor Guo. He said he got his marriage certificate with his blind date today. He'll be tidying up the house tomorrow and the day after, and the day after that he plans to have two tables at home and invite his comrades who get along well with him to have a meal at his house, just like attending their wedding banquet. I was just thinking that you said you were going to take a leave of absence to go back to the city to see your wife, so I came over to tell you first."
