Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1280 - 839: Explanation/Arrival

During the first and second watch.

------------

With a slight sigh, Zhou Mikang held Chuxia tightly in his arms, rubbing his chin gently on her forehead: "Is it because you sensed this news that you’re in a bad mood?"

"Yes." Chuxia nodded honestly, "I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. According to the original trajectory, it should have taken at least another year and a half. This... is too sudden."

"Mei Yitong has already come to see you, right?"

"Mm."

"Do you blame me?" Zhou Mikang turned her around so they could look into each other’s eyes.

"No." Chuxia shook her head, "You’re more prepared than anyone else. If you acted like a coward at this time, not only would you look down on yourself, but I would also look down on you.

But, even though I understand the logic, my mood can’t improve all of a sudden. This is war, not an exercise. It’s impossible for me not to worry, especially with the child not yet born.

So Zhou Mikang, you must firmly remember the words you’ve said, no matter what happens, you have to save your life and not let me and the child become orphans."

"Don’t worry, I promised you, and I will definitely do it, but..." Zhou Mikang traced his fingers gently on her tender cheek, "You don’t need to worry too much either. Just because we’re moving out doesn’t mean the war will start immediately. Of course, this time is more tense than last time, and whether or not a war will actually happen while we’re stationed is uncertain.

As for whether I should go, the leadership specifically talked to me about it. It was my own insistence. Over this matter, Mei Yitong has already had a falling out with me, saying I’m irresponsible.

If I could, I would really want to stay here with you, but there are some things that are difficult to explain. It might backfire, so I must go myself."

"You don’t need to explain, I understand..." Chuxia playfully smiled at him, "I say, are you jealous from repeating this over and over? Don’t worry, I’m already the mother of your child, I won’t transfer my affection to anyone else."

"I just feel like we don’t have much time to spend together, so I want to talk to you more. You’re really ungrateful..." Zhou Mikang leaned over to turn off the bedside lamp and patted her back, "Sleep, pregnant women need their rest."

"Hmph!" Chuxia puckered her lips, "When you can’t win an argument, you find excuses, I despise you."

"Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. Actually, I thought about waiting until morning to come in, but I really wanted to spend more time with you, and I have confidence in my own skills, which is why we ended up in this situation..."

It must be said, the Division Commander Tongzi’s good temper towards his little wife is unparalleled. Just look at his sincere attitude when admitting his fault, isn’t it incredibly genuine?!

Early the next morning, Lin Yanqiu was temporarily at a loss for words when she saw her younger son enter from outside, covered in sweat. When he stood before her to greet, she pinched his arm, "Xiaomi, when did you get here?"

"Midnight." Zhou Mikang said as he pulled his mother’s hand away, "Even if you suspect you’re dreaming, you should pinch yourself. What’s the point of pinching me?"

"Checking the temperature..." Lin Yanqiu said with utmost confidence, "Haven’t you heard that you can’t feel someone else’s body temperature in a dream?"

"Never heard of it." Zhou Mikang shook his head and started heading to his room, but Lin Yanqiu pulled him back, "Pregnant women need more sleep. You must have woken her up last night when you came back, let her sleep a little longer."

"Mom, do you think you’re the only one who cares for Chuxia?" Zhou Mikang looked at his mother with a head full of black lines, "I’m just planning to go to the guest room for a shower and a change of clothes. If you don’t believe me, go check, I already took my clothes over there."

Lin Yanqiu quickly released her son and waved her hands, "Oh, oh, then go ahead."

Just then, Old Madam Zhou came out of her room. Seeing her grandson, she was momentarily surprised, then smiled, "No wonder you hung up so quickly last night, you were missing your wife."

"Grandma, not only was I missing my wife, but also you and mom. So I hurried over to see you both." Zhou Mikang said as he headed to the guest room, "I’ll go take a shower first, then I’ll chat with you later."

The old lady shook her head with a smile, "This child, his words have gotten sweeter. If he had spoken to me like this a year ago, I might have thought there was something wrong with his brain."

Lin Yanqiu immediately agreed, "Yes, Xiaomi is like a completely different person compared to before. It really shows how important it is to find the right partner."

"Hmm." Old Madam Zhou nodded, "That’s true. With Xiaomi’s personality, if he married someone he didn’t like, he’d probably leave her at home and not come back for a year just to take a look."
