Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Luo Zhiyong didn’t know when he had returned, still dressed in his training uniform. It was clear that he had hurried back from the training camp, presumably because of Zhou Guangsheng’s incident, the army had made an exception and let him return to take a look.

Fang Pingying remembered that he had said before he left that once he went to the training camp, he wouldn’t come back if he didn’t complete the mission.

When Luo Zhiyong saw Fang Pingying push the door and enter, he was slightly taken aback, then just nodded at her and stepped back to let Fang Pingying and Zhou Xiaoyan in. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After entering, Zhou Xiaoyan also couldn’t see her older brother, and seeing the solemn expressions on everyone’s faces, she started to cry anxiously, "Where’s my brother? Has he already..."

Luo Zhiyong smiled at Zhou Xiaoyan and pointed inside, "It’s okay, your brother is in there, your sister-in-law is taking care of him. The doctor said his condition is stable for now, so don’t worry too much."

As soon as Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, the nurse in the ward immediately stood up and told everyone, "Right, the patient is not in danger at the moment, you family members don’t need to worry too much. You should all go out first, don’t interfere with our work."

Seeing such a large group of people standing in the small room, making it hard for the nurses to get in and out, Luo Zhiyong lightly patted Fang Ping’an’s shoulder and whispered, "The nurse is right, uncle, auntie, let’s all go out and wait."

Fang Pingying was slightly startled when she heard his address, then she lowered her head and pulled at the corner of her mouth with a faint smile. She had asked him to change the way he addressed her before, and he stubbornly refused, saying it was just a form of address and he was used to it and couldn’t change. Now he was smoothly calling them uncle and auntie and had easily made the change.

That’s fine, severing ties should be done completely. Dragging it out only irritates everyone.

But Fang Ping’an and Li Yuchun were stunned for a good while by Luo Zhiyong’s unfamiliar form of address. Before he left, he was still calling them mom and dad. His sudden change of address made it difficult for Fang Ping’an and Li Yuchun to adapt, and they both stared straight at Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong didn’t know how to explain and, after a glance at Fang Pingying, walked out first.

Seeing Li Yuchun and her husband still dazed, Fang Pingying lifted her head to look at the receding Luo Zhiyong and whispered to Li Yuchun, "What are you doing? Weren’t you unhappy with him calling you mom? Now that he’s changed it, isn’t it better?"

"Ah." Li Yuchun sighed, she temporarily had no mind to talk about their matters.

After Fang Pingying and the others left, Luo Zhiyong discussed with Fang Pingying, "Pingying, there is nothing urgent with Guangsheng for now. I went to ask the doctor, and the doctor said it will be another day and night before we know if he is out of danger. Why don’t you and uncle and aunt go back first? Tonight, Fang Xiu, Xiao Yan and others will take turns keeping watch. If something happens, we’ll call home and you can rush over immediately."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuchun thought that it sounded ominous and repeatedly spat, "Tut, tut, Guangsheng will definitely be fine. Good people have good karma."

After that, she wanted Luo Zhiyong to repeat it.

Luo Zhiyong smiled good-naturedly and repeated, "Right, Guangsheng will definitely be okay."

Li Yuchun didn’t want to go back. Now, with Guangsheng’s life hanging in the balance and Fang Xiu acting like she was out of her mind, saying nothing but keeping vigil by the bedside, she felt uneasy.

But Fang Ping’an thought Luo Zhiyong’s words made sense. They couldn’t help by staying there, and it would be better to go back and get the house organized since there were still little ones at home.

He then said out loud, "Then we will go back first. With everyone standing guard here, it also causes trouble for the hospital. Besides, we need to go back to take care of Yaoyao and the others."

When Li Yuchun heard this, she remembered the little ones at home and immediately agreed to go back, "That’s good. Your dad and I will go back and make some food for you all. Later, we’ll have your dad bring it over, and I’ll stay at home to help Hong Lan take care of Haohao and Yaoyao."

"Pingying, you watch Fang Xiu for a while, and later when your dad brings the food, you can go back with him." Li Yuchun saw Zhou Xiaoyan standing by Fang Pingying, her eyes swollen from crying, and instructed Fang Pingying, "Talk to the doctor and let Xiao Yan go and see her brother, and you also need to discuss with Fang Xiu to see if we should notify the Zhou Family. After all, with Guangsheng’s situation..."

"I know, you guys go back first." Fang Pingying nodded, saying she would discuss it when Fang Xiu came out.

After Li Yuchun left, Zhou Xiaoyan softly pleaded with Fang Pingying, "Sister Pingying, I want to see my brother. Can I?"

Fang Pingying nodded and went in with her to plead with the nurse, who did not make it difficult and only said to let Zhou Xiaoyan in. There couldn’t be too many people in the ICU, so Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong had to stay outside and wait.

After Zhou Xiaoyan entered the ward, only Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying were left outside.

Now that their situation had come to this, when alone together, it suddenly became somewhat awkward, as if anything they said was inappropriate.

Fang Pingying directly did not want to speak to Luo Zhiyong. Whatever needed to be said had been said before; it just hadn’t been executed until now. Now it was time to execute it.

She sat on the long bench in the hospital and closed her eyes slightly. Running around all day, coupled with worrying about Zhou Guangsheng, she was truly exhausted, and only now could she relax a little.

Luo Zhiyong stood not far in front of her, originally with his gaze fixed on the door leading into the ICU. At some point, his eyes had moved to Fang Pingying’s face.

Counting the time, it had been half a year since he had properly looked at her. The last time she was sick, he only glanced at her from afar, and didn’t see her clearly.

In half a year, she had lost a lot of weight. Her originally slightly round face had become a melon seed face, and her old clothes were much looser on her. Moreover, her spirit seemed very off.

Luo Zhiyong looked at her, and the pain in his heart slowly spread and lingered for a long time.

What exactly was the reason? Was it because her previous illness had not fully recovered, or was it because Liu Fengsheng did not take good care of her, still letting her get so tired?

He thought that by leaving, getting another good man to take care of her, someone who could help her at work and simply be a man by her side, she would definitely live well. But why then was she still so tired that she looked thin like this?

Why?

If that’s the case, why would she accept someone else and not wait for him to return?

Could it be she really fell in love with someone else and didn’t want him anymore?

Although, when she fell ill last time, Luo Zhiyong decided to let go completely when he returned, but he found that it was just lip service. When he couldn’t see her, he could talk big and feel like a tough guy who can talk the talk and walk the walk.

But as soon as he saw her, all that talk of letting go, and that it was enough for him to know she was happy, seemed like self-deceiving nonsense. He felt that only if he could see her every day, and she was well by his side, being Luo Zhiyong’s wife, would he feel that his life was perfect.
