"So he still wants to break up with me now..." Su Yueya said aggrievedly.
"What?" The Qiao family members were all surprised.
Are you kidding me?
They didn't force Su Yueya to break up with Lu Zhengjun, so why does Lu Zhengjun want to dump Su Yueya?
Is this reasonable?
"No, has Lu Zhengjun figured out his own position yet? In his current state, he still dislikes you and wants to break up with you?" Qiao Gaoyang is a ticking time bomb, someone who will explode at the slightest provocation.
“He doesn’t dislike me, he’s afraid of being a burden to me,” Su Yueya quickly explained for Lu Zhengjun. “However, I’ve already rejected him and told him it’s impossible, so you all need to keep an eye on him for me…”
In critical moments, family members all have to step up.
The Qiao family: "..."
At least that kid has some conscience!
But since Su Yueya has made up her mind, they will definitely try to reconcile her and not separate her completely. After all, Lu Zhengjun's character is what it is, and they can't act like villains and break up the couple just because someone is in trouble for a while.
After all, Su Yueya had nothing before, and when she was abandoned by Liu Dekai, it was Lu Zhengjun who saved her.
Although he took over the identity of Liu Dekai's husband, he didn't do anything to Su Yueya at that time.
"Okay, Crescent Moon, I understand. I promise to keep an eye on him!" Qiao Gaoyang said, as if he had everything under control.
That evening, the entire Qiao family went to the hospital to visit Lu Zhengjun.
To be honest, Lu Zhengjun was still a little nervous when he saw them, but they were still as kind and natural to him as before, and they cared about him a lot, which made him feel much better.
The elders from both sides secretly arranged a meal for the young couple, and talked about their future.
The final conclusion is to respect their choice.
Their respective families did their best to support them and provide them with a safety net.
Aside from going to work, Su Yueya spent all her time with Lu Zhengjun.
She had no idea what Lu Zhengjun was thinking; she was focused on treating his illness and would retreat into her spatial dimension whenever she had a spare moment.
I activated time freeze or speed up the process tenfold, frantically searching for all sorts of information in the library to see if I could cure Lu Zhengjun as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, news of Lu Zhengjun's serious injury also spread throughout the army.
"What? Is Lu Tuan really that badly injured?"
"I heard that the entire squad that went out on the mission with him was wiped out. Now, in the military hospital, including the army regiment, there are only three people lying there, and they are all seriously injured!"
"That mission was indeed very difficult. To push the Lu Regiment to this point, if it were anyone else..."
Everyone felt a pang of sympathy, thinking that if they were to go on the mission, they might not even have a chance to come back alive.
"As expected of my idol, Commander Lu is amazing, but... when will he be able to return to the army?"
"It's hard to say... I heard that Lu Tuan is only awake now, and his injuries haven't healed yet. He should wait until he's fully recovered before coming back. And the other two, it seems, haven't woken up yet!"
Amid the discussions, everyone was filled with emotion, but their attitudes were surprisingly unified: they were all praying for and blessing Lu Zhengjun, hoping that he could return to the army soon.
Apart from Liu Dekai.
When the news reached his ears, he was overjoyed and could not contain his excitement. Fortunately, the person who told him the news was a trusted confidant in his camp. They noticed his secret joy and knew that there was a conflict between him and Lu Zhengjun. At this moment, they were all praising him.
“Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, that Lu Zhengjun, relying on his position as regimental commander and a top soldier, showed no sportsmanship when he sparred with you before, deliberately using excessive force. I think his injury during this mission is his retribution; he deserves it!”
Another person felt that this was an overreaction and quickly offered a reminder.
"He was injured on the job, so is it a bit too much for us to say things like that? What would others think of us if they heard us?"
After all, the current sentiment is one of pity for Lu Zhengjun.
If their words were to be exposed, it would inevitably make others think that they lack a sense of collective honor, and it would be disheartening.
"What's there to be afraid of? When we're outside, we'll definitely have to pretend to agree, but now that we're just one of our own, we can't even tell the truth? He deserves it, right, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu?"
Liu Dekai was overjoyed.
More than just the two sparring incidents, his biggest regret was his failure at the last promotion conference and the fact that he had learned about Su Yueya's background, which made him feel that Lu Zhengjun had gotten a great deal.
But now it seems that fate isn't so kind to Lu Zhengjun either!
He got lucky with Su Yueya, but what doesn't belong to him can't be forcibly taken away; God will take it back in other ways.
For example, he was injured during this mission, and the injury was so serious.
Isn't this retribution?
Anyone who opposes Liu Dekai will not have a good ending; retribution is only a matter of time!
“There’s no need to be so harsh,” Liu Dekai put on an act in front of his confidants. As a deputy battalion commander, he had to show his magnanimity. “I certainly won’t hold it against him, but… Heaven is watching what people do. If you do too many bad things, you’ll get your comeuppance.”
Upon hearing this, the confidant continued to spout nonsense, saying many bad things about Lu Zhengjun, which made Liu Dekai extremely happy.
"Our Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is truly magnanimous! Indeed, there's no need to bother with him!"
"It's hard to say when he'll be able to be discharged from the hospital this time. Although he's already a regimental commander, with injuries like that, how will he be able to go on missions and earn merit in the future? I'm afraid his career is over!"
"Of course! But our Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is still young, and he has a bright future ahead of him. Surpassing him is just a matter of time!"
These words struck a chord with Liu Dekai.
"You little rascal..." Your words are truly sweet!
Liu Dekai pointed at the other person, outwardly disagreeing but inwardly overjoyed and wanting to applaud him.
Hearing this news made Liu Dekai feel great all day.
He even had a bold idea: should he go to the hospital to visit Lu Zhengjun?
How could Lu Zhengjun, in such a miserable state, still be arrogant in front of him?
However, thinking about his mother's illness and the possibility that he might one day have to ask Su Yueya for help, Liu Dekai decided to keep a low profile and remain inactive for now, enjoying his happiness in private.
"Wow, the food tonight is pretty good!"
His good mood lasted until he got home. Looking at the dishes Liao Jinling had cooked, he felt an incredible appetite.
"Youyou, want to have a couple of drinks with me tonight?" Liu Dekai was especially nice to Mo Youyou.
Mo Youyou: "...?"
Is he out of his mind?
The two had been in a cold war because of the incident where Mo Youyou pushed Zhang Cuihua, causing her back injury. Even when they had to talk, their tone was icy. But today, Liu Dekai behaved like this.
