Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1275 - 837: Unexpected News (Part 2)

Seeing through Chuxia’s thoughts, Mei Yitong continued: "I promise you, as long as I come back safely, I will definitely get along well with Xiaoli. As for what I just said, it’s just this once, Xiao Chuxia, I hope you live happily."

"Big Brother Mei..." Pausing for a moment, Chuxia bravely looked straight at him, "Your feelings for me really surprised and moved me. I don’t want to say things like ’I’m not as good as you say’ just to be polite with you.

But to be honest, I really don’t like your attitude towards Xiaoli. I’ve always thought of you as a straightforward person, so what does your current behavior count as?

Fortunately, Xiaoli is outgoing and cheerful, otherwise, you’d harm her for a lifetime. Moreover, if she was someone who holds grudges, I’d probably gain another enemy.

To be honest, just before you came, we were still talking about you. She has already sensed that there is someone else in your heart. She even joked that it might be me.

She even told me frankly that even if it were really me, she wouldn’t blame me. Instead, she would try to solve the problem. If she really couldn’t have you, she wouldn’t pin herself to your crooked tree forever.

Big Brother Mei, the person you should protect with your life is not me, so I won’t agree to help you. Besides, I won’t interfere with Zhou Mikang’s work. Whatever he chooses, I will support him. I’m sorry I can’t help you."

"What if..." Mei Yitong looked at her seriously, "What if when the child is born, the father has an accident? Have you thought about how cruel that would be?"

"I have thought about it." Chuxia looked at him earnestly, "But I believe Zhou Mikang won’t leave us orphans and widows in this world. He will definitely return to my side."

"Do you have that much confidence in him?"

"Yes." Chuxia nodded solemnly, "Whatever he says he will do, I trust him."

"You..." Mei Yitong shook his head helplessly, "This is..." He looked around, went to the door, opened it, glanced outside, then came back, "This is war, bullets have no eyes, it’s not something he can guarantee.

Of course, I trust his abilities and sense of responsibility, but when the time comes, he cannot disregard his brothers. Given his nature, he could never be dragged into that.

Of course, I’m thinking about the worst-case scenario, and it’s not that likely to happen. However, we must guard against it. Right now, there are no ties holding me back, which makes it most appropriate for me.

Initially, it was planned that I would lead the charge, but Zhou Mikang, for some unknown reason, insisted on taking the lead. If I wasn’t out of options, I wouldn’t have come to you.

I must clarify that my eagerness to go is not to seek glory. Previously opposing him was due to circumstances, and I couldn’t reveal that. Now, we’re in it together, and his brilliance is something I could never outshine.

Moreover, just because he’s not going now doesn’t mean he won’t go in the future. Everyone knows that the first ones to go are in the most danger. The terrain is unfamiliar, the enemy unknown, and everything is most challenging.

Xiao Chuxia, now is not the time to act on impetuous feelings. Listen to me, only you can hold Zhou Mikang back. I promise, when the right moment comes, I will surely give him the opportunity."

"Big Brother Mei, you underestimate me by saying this. I support Zhou Mikang not for opportunities or glory but because I truly support his decision. I believe he didn’t make this decision on a whim.

He knows my current situation and what it would mean for me if something happened to him. With that in mind, he still wants to be the first to charge, so there must be a reason.

Big Brother Mei, you haven’t known him for just a day. Do you think he is the kind of person who would act impulsively without regard for anything? So, Big Brother Mei, I am truly grateful to you, but I really can’t help you.

I know you may think I’m ungrateful, but I can only act this way, can only make this choice. I ask for your understanding, and... " Pausing for a moment, Chuxia said, "I firmly believe Zhou Mikang will not have an accident."

"You..." Mei Yitong was genuinely worried to death. He had persuaded Zhou Mikang for a long time, but the other party simply wouldn’t listen. Unable to do anything, he came to find her, but her attitude was no different from Zhou Mikang’s. He truly didn’t know whether to praise or scold her.

Is war a joke? Is it really something where by simply saying it won’t have an accident, it won’t happen?

Yes, Zhou Mikang has undertaken many dangerous missions before and has always returned safely. But that situation was different. This time, who knows how long it will take? Is it really okay if the father isn’t around when the child is born?

Of course, if it were someone else, he wouldn’t be concerned about these things. But... he glanced at the delicate and fragile young woman, and ached at heart; what exactly should he do?

In the end, Mei Yitong left with a heavy heart and regret. Even when Chuxia reminded him to at least say hello to Yang Xiaoli, he pretended not to hear and left without raising his head...

This person... Chuxia was also truly helpless. Returning to the classroom, catching Yang Xiaoli’s inquisitive gaze, she could only offer a bitter smile and gestured to discuss it after class.

Yang Xiaoli smiled at her and nodded.

That attitude finally allowed a sliver of light to penetrate Chuxia’s gloomy mood. Yet, she couldn’t truly feel happy. Is Division Commander Tongzi really going to advance?... (To be continued.
