For a time, the Third Battalion had two more battalion commanders, both of whom were regulars.
One is the old battalion commander who has been managing the third battalion for many years.
One was promoted formally for his military achievements.
It's not good to ask anyone to take a step back.
Captain He was in a dilemma and didn't know who to ask to leave, so everyone lived in an awkward situation where they didn't see each other every day.
Unlike others who were embarrassed, Shen Ao did not feel embarrassed at all.
Before leaving work that day, he took the initiative to call Qin Lang and said, "Captain Qin, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Qin Lang curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'm single anyway, so I have plenty of time. But Captain Shen, aren't you married? Don't cause a quarrel between you and your wife."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "My wife has been transferred to the county for work. I am the only one at home now. It's not inconvenient at all."
"That's fine with me."
Qin Lang agreed.
He was well aware of the discussions in the army these days, but he was the one who developed the Third Battalion to its current state, and he didn't want to step down and let a new battalion commander take charge.
No matter how good Shen Ao is, he has no sense of belonging to the Third Battalion and is definitely not as good as him, the old battalion commander, in managing it.
That night.
Qin Lang thought he was attending a Hongmen Feast, but after a glass of wine, Chen Ao said straight to the point, "Captain Qin, don't overthink it. I don't intend to compete with you for the position of battalion commander."
Not fighting?
There's no way he would believe this!
Qin Lang said unconcernedly, "Captain Shen, I admit that you managed the Third Battalion very well during my absence, but now that I'm back, it's time for you to step down and let others take over. Don't covet what's not yours, don't you?"
"Oh!"
I still misunderstood him.
Chen Ao couldn't help but chuckle, raising his glass to toast Qin Lang, "Captain Qin, you really think too much. To be honest, I've been communicating with the county troops recently, hoping they'd have any vacancies to transfer me to. Today, I finally received approval from the county, so I'll be leaving here tomorrow."
"You..." Qin Lang was incredulous. "Why?"
It is obvious that Chen Ao is now familiar with the Third Battalion, and many soldiers recognize him from the bottom of their hearts. To be able to achieve this level, it can be seen that Chen Ao has also made considerable efforts.
But he was able to abandon everything and go to a new environment to fight?
Is this guy's brain okay?
As if seeing Qin Lang's confusion, Shen Ao smiled and explained, "Because my lover is still waiting for me. She has already sacrificed for me once before, and now it's my turn to make a sacrifice."
Qin Lang looked at Shen Ao's face and didn't see any falsehood on his face. It was obvious that he was telling the truth.
"...I never knew you were such a romantic. I wonder what kind of girl could be so obsessed with you."
"Of course she's a good girl, very good, so I have to cherish her," Shen Ao said, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, hasn't Captain Qin been receiving treatment at the county hospital? My wife is a newly transferred doctor there, maybe you've met her."
Newly transferred?
Qin Lang swallowed his saliva. He only knew one of the newly transferred doctors.
"Is your lover's name... Bai Ying?"
Shen Ao's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, "Why, do you know each other?"
"Well... we happened to meet a few times."
Qin Lang said this calmly, and quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip to calm his nerves.
There is bitterness in my mouth.
Well, he broke up before he even started dating.
As for the idea of having a love for someone, Qin Lang immediately extinguished it as soon as it came into being.
They are already married, does he have the right as an outsider to object?
Besides, Dr. Bai didn't seem to be interested in him. He was just being too enthusiastic.
Having to realize this was a huge blow to Qin Lang.
He was completely drunk that night.
Chen Ao was still thinking about going to the county to find Bai Ying tomorrow, so he just had a sip and didn't drink too much.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, a nostalgic smile appeared on Chen Ao's lips.
I wonder what Bai Ying’s reaction will be when she sees him tomorrow?
——
Day and night alternated as usual. Bai Ying got up, washed, ate, and went to work as usual, starting her morning outpatient clinic.
There were so many people registering that I didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water the whole morning.
As the end of get off work approached, there was only one patient left.
As the patient who had just been diagnosed walked out of the room, Bai Ying took a sip of water to moisten her throat. Her voice was still a little hoarse, "Next."
As soon as he finished speaking, the registered patient pushed the door open and walked in.
However, the other party did not immediately sit down on the chair opposite Bai Ying, but instead closed the door and bolted it.
Bai Ying frowned, and a sense of unease rose in her heart. She subconsciously looked up at the patient sitting opposite her.
He was a man, dressed in dirty clothes, looking like a beggar.
But she is a doctor and she has to treat all patients equally, whether rich or poor.
Bai Ying suppressed the discomfort in her heart and asked, "Hello, where do you feel unwell?"
“…”
There was no sound from the other party.
"Hello? Are you listening?"
Finally, the patient opposite responded. He slowly raised his head and took off the hat that covered most of his face.
Suddenly, a hideous and distorted face came into Bai Ying's sight!
Bai Ying's pupils shrank.
She will never forget that face even if it turns to ashes!
