Night fell, unfurling its inky blackness, while the military dormitory was brightly lit.
"Battalion Commander? Why are you back in the dormitory?" Liu Hu suddenly sat up in bed with a start.
Zhou Qing looked up from his book, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at Lu Huai'an, who was standing in the doorway.
Something's not right.
"Go to sleep," Lu Huai'an said succinctly.
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes; the battalion commander's tone was off.
Liu Hu scratched his head: "Wait a minute! Battalion Commander, have you lost your mind? With such a beautiful wife like your sister-in-law at home, why are you running off to the dormitory like a monk?"
"Who would be so foolish as to want to become a monk?"
Wu Xu, carrying a foot bath basin, peeked out from the crack in the door that wasn't fully closed.
When his gaze fell upon the figure that shouldn't have been in the dormitory, he immediately stood up straight and called out.
"battalion commander."
"Damn it! Wu Xu, why are you yelling so loudly? Did you scare me? Can't you see I'm talking to the battalion commander?" Liu Hu threw a pillow at him.
Wu Xu dodged the question and spoke frankly.
"So...the battalion commander had a mental breakdown and wanted to shave his head and become a monk?"
Lu Huai'an frowned: "You two are very free? The training will be doubled tomorrow morning."
Liu Hu wailed, "Battalion Commander, you can't take your anger out on us just because you got sulked by your wife! Battalion Commander, let me tell you, wives can only be coaxed. Running away from home like this is unacceptable! Be careful of your wife—"
Lu Huai'an turned around abruptly, and Liu Hu pursed his lips, his voice softening.
"You...double it again!"
"ah!"
Liu Husheng collapsed onto the bed, utterly dejected, and muttered under his breath, "You'll be the one who's in a hurry when your sister-in-law doesn't want you anymore."
"Wait a minute! Why does a man like the battalion commander have a wife, but he doesn't? Waaaaah!"
Wu Xu, annoyed by his noise, said, "Liu Hu, you son of a bitch! Stop shaking the bed! I can't even sit down to wash my feet!"
"You can't sit here! Change the bed!" Liu Hu said irritably.
Didn't you see he was heartbroken?
"Oh..." Wu Xu said leisurely, "Would you like some foot bath water? It's warm."
Liu Hu: "......."
If the battalion commander hadn't been inside, he would definitely have picked a fight with that bastard.
Zhou Qing glanced at Lu Huai'an, who was sitting at his desk with his brows furrowed, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.
What kind of woman is my sister-in-law?
Based on his understanding of the battalion commander, the commander did indeed have a disagreement with his sister-in-law, but it might not be the kind of argument Liu Hu thought.
So what exactly happened that forced the battalion commander to stay in his dormitory, frowning and deep in thought, instead of going home?
As Zhou Qing was thinking, he looked up and met Lu Huai'an's gaze. He smiled awkwardly, covered his face with his book, and then heard a sentence.
"We didn't argue."
“Yes.” Zhou Qing looked up from his book and said solemnly, “I believe you, Battalion Commander.”
Lu Huai'an: "......."
He got up, washed up, and went to bed.
After a while, the lights went out, and Liu Hu's snoring filled the dormitory.
Lu Huai'an, who was already irritable, found it even harder to fall asleep.
The bugle sounded, parting the curtain of night and ushering in the dawn.
After a while, Su Wantang got up, washed up, and stared blankly at the empty dining table.
Oh, I forgot, Lu Huai'an moved into the dormitory.
Su Wantang went to the cafeteria, ordered two steamed buns, and then went to work.
Perhaps because Liu Hui had taken her away to teach her a lesson, Yang Xiu, although still disliking her, didn't cause any trouble.
Su Wantang followed Luo Fang as they bustled around the hospital, absorbing all sorts of medical knowledge, finding it fulfilling and interesting.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Wantang got up early to go to work as usual, but was drawn to a conversation on the way.
"Have you heard? Platoon Leader Huo's wife from the countryside is a runaway educated youth."
"What? Such a thing exists?"
"So how was it handled?"
"I heard... they were going to send him back... but Platoon Leader Huo's wife refused, throwing a tantrum and making a scene, so there was no other way but for her to stay with the army... However..."
"But what? Don't keep me in suspense."
"Before, everyone was saying that Platoon Leader Huo was going to be promoted? This time he's probably in trouble. He got caught up in his wife's scandal and got punished. It'll be hard for him to get promoted now."
......
Upon hearing this news, Su Wantang was in a good mood all day.
Lu Huai'an returned in the evening.
If even his sister-in-law in the family compound knew about it, then Lu Huai'an naturally knew as well.
Su Wantang was taken aback when she saw him return.
"Aren't you staying in the dormitory?"
"Wantang, I..."
Lu Huai'an hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
His inexplicable departure and return, coupled with his hesitant and stammering speech, and this change only occurred after Liu Cuicui arrived...
Something flashed through my mind.
So, Lu Huai'an felt she had deceived him about Liu Cuicui's identity? And then he directly sentenced her to death? And made her move out?
"You want to move back? No need."
"You're doing well staying in the dormitory."
After saying that, Su Wantang closed the courtyard gate.
If you don't trust her, why live under the same roof? You'll only grow to dislike each other.
Lu Huai'an stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time until Su Wantang turned off the light before he turned around and went back to his dormitory.
"Battalion Commander, aren't you going home?" Liu Hu winked and gloated, "Are you regretting not listening to me sooner and getting kicked out by your wife?"
"You guys have nothing better to do? You'll all have to do ten times the extra training tomorrow."
Zhou Qing: "?"
Wu Xu: "?"
What business is it of theirs?
Two days later, the three of them, who had been tormented by Lu Huai'an's unpredictable moods, took advantage of Lu Huai'an's absence at night to start a group discussion.
