All the base commander's hostility and violence were not actually directed at Zhang Chen.
It was Zhang Chen's appearance that made him realize his own incompetence.
It was because he failed to protect his son that his loss dealt a huge blow to his wife, causing her to become despondent and eventually pass away.
This is the deepest scar in the base commander's heart.
There's no way I'll ever get out of this in my lifetime.
He could never accept any other girl; no one could replace his wife in his heart.
He was afraid that if he opened his heart to another girl, his wife would be heartbroken.
A soft click.
The base commander's taut fingers snapped a corner of the table in two.
He truly hated himself.
Every time he thinks about what happened back then, he wishes he could give up everything. He would be willing to let as many people die as long as his wife could come back to life.
Zhang Chen stared blankly at the shards of the table in the base commander's right hand, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart.
She is just that pathetic.
Just the fact that she appeared in front of him was enough to make him loathe her to this extent.
"Why? Even with ordinary people, you wouldn't be this cold, this... hateful."
Zhang Chen rubbed his eyes hard, but no tears came out.
Her voice still trembled uncontrollably.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong.
She was willing to do anything for the base commander, even if it meant death.
She didn't care that he had a son; she was even more willing to treat his son and daughter-in-law with utmost sincerity.
Did she cause him trouble?
Yes, it was brought.
But that was before.
After realizing that the base commander disliked her, she became very cautious.
She rarely appeared before the base commander, and today, the chicken soup delivery happened to be with Bai Xizhu and her companion, which is why she stayed a little longer.
Normally, she wouldn't even have the chance to enter his office, let alone bring him chicken soup.
Zhang Chen pursed his thin lips, his face pale, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"go out!"
The base commander's stern face showed no trace of tenderness, only endless indifference.
The sound was even colder than the snow and ice of the past few days.
Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the room and silently moved two steps outside, standing by the door to drink their chicken soup.
The chicken soup is not greasy, and the aroma of mushrooms and the flavor of chicken blend together perfectly, making it incredibly delicious.
Even without using ingredients from the space or adding spiritual spring water, the soup tastes even better than chicken soup at home.
In no time at all, Bai Xizhu had finished all the chicken soup.
Even the rather picky Leng Yebai didn't waste the chicken soup in his bowl, watching the excitement while drinking the soup.
fresh!
Zhang Chen took deep breaths to ease the discomfort of his heart almost stopping.
She's probably gone mad.
The person in front of her had already made his attitude so clear, yet she was still fantasizing about something!
"That's settled then! I won't bother you anymore. You drink this bowl of chicken soup, and I won't come back."
Zhang Chen clenched his fingers tightly and pushed the bowl full of chicken soup toward the base commander with his fist.
Ultimately, she still wanted the base commander to have more nourishing food.
How painful it must be to lose an arm.
She simmered the chicken soup for a really long time; she genuinely just wanted him to drink more of it, as it would be good for his health.
The base commander didn't even glance at Zhang Chen, and threw the corner of the table he had just broken off onto the ground.
He stood up with extreme rage, his back to Zhang Chen, standing by the window, emanating a chilling aura.
Even from a distance, Zhang Chen could feel the cold aura emanating from the base commander.
"Who do you think wants to give you a drink! If you don't want to drink, then don't! I wouldn't even give it to a dog!"
Looking at the base commander's back, now with only one arm, Zhang Chen's eyes reddened, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
Knock knock knock!
Zhang Chen carried the bowl of chicken soup and strode towards the door.
A gust of wind swept along the way.
He decisively poured a bowl of chicken soup into the bowls in Bai Xizhu's and Leng Yebai's hands.
Half for each person, very evenly distributed.
"Bang!"
After pouring out the chicken soup, Zhang Chen threw the bowl on the ground and turned to leave.
As she turned away, tears streamed down her face.
A wave of heartache and sorrow washed over me at the same time.
There was no anger, only the pain in my heart when I saw that one-armed figure from behind.
I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would be so ashamed that I would burst into tears.
That's why they chose to leave in this way.
Zhang Chen was very fast; he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai stood there blankly, holding half a bowl of chicken soup, unsure whether to drink it or not.
Not drinking it is a waste; drinking it makes you a dog.
"Don't waste it."
Bai Xizhu silently poured the chicken soup from the bowl into Leng Yebai's bowl.
Leng Yebai's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but before he could speak, Bai Xizhu added another sentence.
"What I'm giving you isn't just empty platitudes, it's overflowing with love."
Leng Yebai swallowed hard, his ears turning slightly red, and slowly drank the chicken soup from the bowl.
So be a dog!
"I'll go check on it, you stay here."
Bai Xizhu gave Leng Yebai a look, then quickly walked outside.
She and Zhang Chen didn't meet very often.
Judging solely from the fact that when they encountered the zombie whale at the beach, Zhang Chen didn't run away but instead risked his life to save her.
Regardless of whether she can become my mother-in-law in the future, she is already my friend.
