As they ate in the cafeteria at night, when the soldiers saw their battalion commander, they would run away for fear that if they said something wrong, their battalion commander would train them hard again tomorrow.
Wei Zhen Hui ate dinner and walked back to the dormitory with a blank expression. He was on the third floor and was opposite Wu Feng.
When Wei Zhen Hui returned to his room, he sat at the table, racking his brains on how to reply to his wife. Last time, he had been busy dealing with Su Hong’s matter and had neglected his wife and this girl had gotten angry.
When Wei Zhen Hui was in school, he was excellent both in studies and behaviour, and had never written love letters. He would not have trouble writing an 800 word essay or a 5,000 word report, and writing battle plans with tens of thousands of words would not trouble him at all.
Now, writing a letter to his wife really stumped him. He really regretted it. Back then, his classmate was always writing love letters to girls and he had looked on disdainfully. When he had asked him to help look at it, he had pushed it back directly. Thinking about it now, it would have been better if he had seen it just once!
Wei Zhen Hui started to write several times in a row, but he was not satisfied and crumpled it up directly to throw it into the trash can.
His room faced the street. Just as he was thinking about it while scratching his head, he heard several team leaders wrangling downstairs. Wei Zhen Hui put on his clothes and went outside.
After a while, there were waves of crying and wailing coming from the training ground.
“Battalion Commander, have mercy, next time you write a letter, we will not dare to yell loudly no matter what.” The first team leader was wronged. He said that he had been taking a few recruits around to familiarise them with the military area after dinner, and had been caught by the battalion commander.
“Battalion Commander, please be merciful. If you really can’t write it, then I will help you write it. Fortunately, I graduated from junior high school. I wrote a lot of love letters when I was in school, basically one letter a week. I have written to all the good looking girls in school!” The second team leader had an expression of let me share your worries with you, Battalion Commander.
The first team leader was so angry that he raised his hand and smacked the second team leader’s forehead, “Your head has been kicked by a donkey. Battalion Commander graduated from senior high school and was ranked first in the grade. Would he need your help to write?”
The second team leader looked aggrieved, “About this, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Wei Zhen Hui dealt with them for a while and the depression in his heart dispersed a little, “Second team leader, you have written love letters before?”
The second team leader was taken aback, then he quickly reacted and gave a military salute, “Yes, Battalion Commander.”
“Write ten letters tonight and give them to me tomorrow.” Wei Zhen Hui turned around and left after speaking.
The first and second team leaders were left behind, dumbfounded. Their battalion commander really did not know how to write letters!
Wei Zhen Hui took a bath and went to sleep. They slept at 10pm.
That night, Wei Zhen Hui had a dream. In the middle of the night, he woke up and could not go back to sleep.
He dreamt of Su Mian in a nurse uniform and smiling brightly at him who was lying on the surgical table.
In his dream, he had been seriously injured and the lead surgeon was Doctor Gao from last time. The place of injury was the same as last time and he had asked not to be put under anesthesia.
Su Mian stuffed a small bundle of gauze into his mouth. She seemed frightened and almost threw the thermometer she was holding onto the ground.
He remembered that she had taken off his shirt and when she saw his wound, her eyes had widened.
She did not recognise him then and did not hug him directly like last time.
During the entire operation, Su Mian worked as Doctor Gao’s assistant. She was a little rushed and was not as calm and composed as she was now.
He had never seen her so panicked before, the type of panic that suited her current age.
Wei Zhen Hui put on his clothes and went to the balcony. Looking at the beautiful night, the cold wind hit him and cleared his mind. It was probably because he had read Su Mian’s letter today that had caused him to dream of such a real scene.
Su Mian was still a student after all, so how could she be a military nurse? Moreover, when he had been injured this time, the nurse taking care of him had been Su Hong.
