Chapter 33 Is He a Military Doctor?

Lin Xuan was utterly confused. He didn’t understand why Li Chunqiu would suddenly say such a thing. “What are you talking about?”

Li Chunqiu, on the other hand, looked extremely aggrieved. “Lin Xuan,” she said to him, “Why can’t you tell me this at home? I’m home, and I’ve already made dinner.” Her voice was choked with tears.

The moment Li Chunqiu said this, it seemed as if Lin Xuan’s refusal to eat and his listless sitting were all for Li Chunqiu’s sake?

Or perhaps…Lin Xuan had confined Li Yingying and didn’t know how to explain it to Li Chunqiu, hence his lack of appetite?

…

At this moment, the instructor stood up and played the role of peacemaker. He said, “Oh, yes, it’s better to talk about it at home. After all, there are so many people here.”

The instructor even got up and walked to Lin Xuan, whispering, “Captain Lin, let’s talk about it at home. There are many soldiers here, and it’s not a good influence. Look at her crying here…what does this look like?”

Lin Xuan directly took his plate and left. He didn’t go home, but went straight to the battalion commander’s office.

The sentry informed the instructor of this, and the instructor was also troubled. He looked at Li Chunqiu: “Go home first. Perhaps he’s just temporarily upset. I’ll talk to him later.”

Li Chunqiu didn’t want to miss this opportunity to let the instructor misunderstand her relationship with Lin Xuan.

She said directly to the instructor, “I’m sorry, my Lin Xuan has this kind of temper. I also haven’t done enough. I’m very anxious about Yingying’s matter, after all, I’m her mother…”

The instructor said to Li Chunqiu, “I understand, I understand. Alright, Comrade Li, go home first!”

Li Chunqiu covered her face and went home, sobbing.

The instructor shook his head. At this time, a young soldier ran over and whispered to the instructor about Li Yingying being put in confinement.

The instructor sighed, “I thought it was something else. It’s still about the child.”

——

A short while later, the instructor went to the battalion commander’s office and met Lin Xuan. “What are you doing? She’s a woman with a child; it’s not easy for her.”

“Captain Lin, how did I advise you back then? I said, don’t get involved with a married woman with a child, even if she’s separated. At worst, just give her some money.”

“Look at you now! You’ve gotten yourself involved! If you really take her in, I tell you, your future promotions will be much worse than now.”

“Lin Xuan, it’s not that I’m saying this to you. You’re still married! And…”

The instructor looked around before leaning closer to Lin Xuan and whispering, “I heard your wife has come looking for you. Isn’t that obvious?”

Lin Xuan’s face was extremely ugly.

“Listen to your old brother’s advice. Get rid of this Li Chunqiu. Give her and her daughter some money and tell them to leave. Also, buy some good things, go to your wife’s house, and bring her back.”

“That’s the proper way. Once you bring your wife back, the rumors will naturally disappear. You won’t have to worry every day, right?”

“Listen to your old brother. I’m doing this for your own good.”

Lin Xuan looked at the instructor, threw him a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and lit it.

The instructor threw the cigarettes back. “I don’t smoke. Don’t give me that.”

Lin Xuan smoked on his own. “It’s not that I don’t want to bring Shen Yuchu back, it’s that she won’t come back with me. She keeps escaping from under my nose. To escape, she climbed a wall in high heels!”

“She was injured, her ankle was so red and swollen, and she still climbed the window! She had to escape by climbing the window. I still don’t understand what she wants to do?”

Lin Xuan took another deep drag, the strong smell of smoke stinging his nostrils, causing him to cough several times.

“I saw her today, she’s like a different person. When she saw me, it was like a cat seeing a mouse, trying every way to escape. Today was even more interesting. To get rid of me, she had her driver circle the roundabout on Minjiang Road endlessly.”

“She even learned to call for help, she called several cars, all white cars, to confuse my vision, surrounding my military vehicle. Then she escaped again…She keeps escaping from right under my nose.”

“I’m not a criminal investigator! I don’t have the expertise to catch ‘criminals’. We ordinary army units haven’t received such training. Moreover, she’s a woman, she…”

“Cough cough cough…”

Lin Xuan coughed several times. He irritably pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

“Shen Yuchu, I will definitely catch her!”

The instructor stared at him: “Xiao Lin, why are you catching her? I tell you, she’s not wrong.”

“Huh?” Lin Xuan looked at the instructor in confusion.

The instructor patiently explained: “First of all, she’s a woman, and women need to be coaxed.

Xiao Lin, you’re still too young. Old brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart.

How can your family accommodate two women at the same time?”

Lin Xuan: “…”

“Three women make a play, two women are too much! You look at me unpleasantly, I look at you unpleasantly. What if there’s a man in between?”

“Xiao Lin, think about it carefully. Your job is good, your seniority is good, and you’re a young officer. If you have a military wife, the subsidies, treatment, and benefits will all increase. Who wouldn’t be envious?”

“In my opinion, your wife’s repeated escapes are probably to get your attention. As long as you settle this matter with your current classmate, she’ll come back.”

Lin Xuan: “…”

He looked at the instructor: “Really?”

The instructor patted him on the shoulder. “Believe your old brother, you won’t be wrong.”

Lin Xuan sighed deeply. “I’ll go home and talk to Li Chunqiu properly. By the way, is the guest house outside the base full? Or should I arrange for Li Chunqiu and her daughter to stay at the base guest house?”

The instructor nodded. “I’ll give you a note. Give it to her and let her stay there first. Then let her find an apartment when she has time.”

Lin Xuan took the note the instructor gave him, put it in his jacket pocket, and walked out of the camp when he saw a familiar face.

Lin Xuan: “…”

That person was Doctor He, the one he pushed down at the kindergarten gate?

How could he be in the camp?

“Doctor He, how does it feel to pick up my nephew? Hey? Why aren’t you wearing your uniform?”

Lin Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man who had just passed him.

“He, Jun, Yi!” He murmured these three words.
