Chapter 9

“I’m busy. The company has training to do.”

Ou Mobei didn’t know where the anger came from. He pushed the bowl away, stood up, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit it.

Then he walked to the windowsill and started smoking again.

Smoking again?

From yesterday to today, I almost finished a pack of cigarettes.

The porridge in the enamel bowl spilled onto the table when he pushed it.

Song Chenchen was a little confused.

In the past, whenever Ou Mobei was free, he would rush back from the company to pick up Nan Nan from school.

Unless there is a special mission.

today……

“Did I do something to upset you?”

Song Chenchen became more and more nervous.

Could it be because he knew that I went to see Gu Haiyang yesterday?

What does that have to do with picking up Nan Nan?

I originally wanted to ease the atmosphere in the room, but now it seems that I have backfired.

“without.”

After taking a last puff of his cigarette toward the window, Ou Mobei answered her with a somewhat annoyed tone.

“Just think carefully about what you want to do.”

Song Chenchen’s hand holding the soup spoon paused.

What does he mean?

“Eat quickly, then take a rest. I’m leaving now.”

Ou Mobei stood up and spoke indifferently, which was in stark contrast to his attitude just now.

Song Chenchen inexplicably felt a little sad inside.

She shrugged, her eyes red.

But Ou Mobei, who had already rushed out of the door, didn’t see it at all.

At this moment, the phone on the cabinet rang.

The phone rang several times before Song Chenchen came to his senses and stood up to answer it.

Because of the nature of Ou Mobei and Song Chenchen’s work, and Ou Mobei’s position level, the division headquarters specially approved internal line control telephones for their families.

Pick up the phone,

“Captain, Gu…”

“Hello……”

Xu Xiangyang and Song Chenchen spoke almost at the same time on the phone.

Then, they stopped almost simultaneously.

It seemed that each of the two sides had thousands of guesses flashing through their minds.

It’s over… it’s over.

In the end, it was Song Chenchen who spoke first again.

“Your leader is busy and not at home.”

“Oh, sister-in-law, I have already asked for leave for you.”

“Xiao Xu, …”

Song Chenchen originally wanted to inquire about Ou Mobei’s work assignments.

“Sister-in-law, I’m hanging up first!”

“Why……”,

“Sister-in-law, the company recently… a new deputy commander has arrived. The commander may not be home for the next few days.”

Ou Mobei is busy with work and it is normal for him not to go home. It seems that she will have to take care of Nan Nan by herself again on the weekends.

Song Chenchen nodded and said “OK”.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiangyang saw Ou Mobei driving into the company’s guard post.

He hurried after him.

“Captain, I thought you were at home. Just now, I called, but it was my sister-in-law who answered the phone.”

“Um.”

“Captain, I seem to have said something wrong, but I also seem not to have said anything wrong.”

“What’s the meaning?”

Ou Mobei frowned slightly. He couldn’t imagine what big deal could happen.

“I almost…”

He told her that he almost mentioned Gu Haiyang on the phone.

Unexpectedly, Ou Mobei had a blank expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment and then uttered a word.

“Let her be.”

“Follow…follow her?”

Xu Xiangyang was a little confused.

Who was still carrying out a mission in the mountains yesterday, but when he heard Gu Haiyang’s name, he hurried as fast as he could and squeezed out time to go back to his home in the agency to spend the night.

Today, when the sun was high in the sky, there was still no sign of anyone, which almost drove Xu Xiangyang crazy.

He was afraid that Ou Mobei would delay the mission because of housework.

Now it seems that I was worrying too much.

Ou Mobei has always been meticulous in his work.

After all, not everyone can do the job of bomb disposal in the army.

“Captain, do you think Deputy Captain Gu will go to kindergarten tomorrow?”

“He has no mission tomorrow.”

Ou Mobei replied to Xu Xiangyang indifferently and began to gather everyone.

A whistle blew, “Everyone, assemble!”

He didn’t want to stay in the company anymore, still because of Gu Haiyang, because he was back.

.

Song Chenchen finished his meal and washed the dishes.

She continued to lie on the bed with her clothes on, wanting to continue sleeping.

Because Xu Xiangyang asked for leave for her, she doesn’t have to go to school today.

She didn’t take off the shirt because she felt it was really comfortable and… it smelled like Ou Mobei.

I have been smelling this scent intermittently since I got married, and I seem to have become a little dependent on it.

And so she fell asleep again wearing it.

.

The company’s troops have assembled.

Today is Gu Haiyang’s first day to officially attend the morning meeting in the company after returning to the team.

“You see, he’s very busy. If you want to catch up with him now, I’m afraid you’ll have to make an appointment.”

Wu Jianjiang, the team leader of the bomb disposal team, was also their former comrade-in-arms.

Today he took Gu Haiyang to attend the morning meeting.

“One of the reasons is that he has taken care of my son for me over the years, and I want to thank him properly.”

When Gu Haiyang said these words, the expression on his face seemed to be full of worries.

But he couldn’t hide his thoughts from Wu Jianjiang at all.

“I understand you. You didn’t expect that he was Song Chenchen’s husband, right?”

Gu Haiyang smiled and sighed softly.

“I think you should just take it easy.

They just got married, and it was “specially approved” by the Political Department.

“No, I can see that Song Chenchen doesn’t love him.”

Listening to what Gu Haiyang said, Wu Jiangjiang felt a little uneasy.

“No, what does it have to do with you whether they love each other or not? They are married.

I’m telling you, don’t mess around, we are the people’s soldiers after all.”

But Wu Jianjiang seemed to underestimate Song Chenchen’s position in Gu Haiyang’s heart.

“For someone like me who has already died once, the two most important things are now with Ou Mobei. What do you think I should do?”

Gu Haiyang’s words made Wu Jiangjiang not know how to respond.

“What can I do? My son is yours. Bring him home and cultivate your relationship with him.

As for women, you can always find another one. It’s not like Song Chenchen is the only woman in the world.”

Although Wu Jianjiang’s words made sense, Gu Haiyang did not agree with them.

“Say this to Ou Mobei.

I heard that the Political Department let him choose at that time.

There are so many unmarried female cadres in the division headquarters, why did they choose the one I love?

The expression on Gu Haiyang’s face suddenly became serious.

Because Wu Jiangjiang’s words reminded him of the star-shaped candy wrapper boat that Song Chenchen returned to him yesterday.

Every coordinate on those candy wrapper boats represented the location of their bomb disposal.

“You, what do you mean?

Now that you’ve come back, are you going to have a fight with him?”

Gu Haiyang didn’t answer. He walked forward and waved to Wu Jiangjiang behind him.

Wu Jianjiang was very nervous because he didn’t get a positive answer from him.

“No, stop it and explain clearly.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one, so please don’t mess around.”

Wu Jiangjiang caught up with Gu Haiyang, talking as he walked, and it seemed that he was even more anxious than Gu Haiyang.

At this moment, Ou Mobei and the bomb disposal special team just passed by Gu Haiyang.

At this moment, the two did not communicate at all.

But the look in each other’s eyes seemed to be filled with sparks and lightning…
