Chapter 98 The Poor Battalion Commander Lu

When she arrived at the military base, everyone was very happy to hear that she had returned. Some of the new recruits were puzzled by her popularity and asked the people next to them about it.

"Who is she?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rufeng, who was passing by, stopped and said in a deep voice, "She is a doctor in the military hospital, the wife of the battalion commander, and a great hero of the army. Anyone who disrespects her will be dealt with according to military law!"

Upon hearing this, the group of people instantly stood up straight, their voices booming, "Yes!"

Xu Rufeng withdrew his gaze and followed in the direction of the two.

In the office, Li Jianguo was very happy to see Xia Zhi return.

"Xia, you really give Uncle Li a lot of face."

He knew everything Xia Zhi had done in the city, and those old men who called him were practically green with envy.

Thinking of this, Li Jianguo couldn't hide the smile on his face. Xia had really lived up to expectations this time. He heard that on the morning she arrived, a group of people were preparing to go to the Shen family to present a banner, but after learning that Xia had returned, they planned to have Shen Hangzhi bring her back.

That old bastard Shen Taishan had always felt that Hangzhi was being treated unfairly as a doctor here, but as soon as Xia went there this time, the old bastard shut up and stopped calling every now and then to force Hangzhi to go back.

Xia Zhi was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"By the way, Xia, some new recruits and medical staff have recently arrived at the unit. I think Beiting is almost ready to start training. You, do as you please, do whatever you want. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Li."

"Okay, Uncle Li. By the way, Uncle Li, what about Miss Bai..."

"Bai Huaye told me about this. Don't worry, now that we have male and female hosts, she can stay in the military base without worry."

Previously, the problem was due to a shortage of female staff and limited funding. Now, most of the medical staff are women, and several female soldiers have also arrived. The rooms have been separated, with the male staff staying in the original rooms and some additional rooms added, while the female staff are in new rooms.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Li."

The white magnolia, which was as transparent as a ghost, also thanked them.

"Xiao Lan, if you need anything, just ask Xia. Don't go up the mountain alone. That's all."

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she followed Bai Yulan to check on the current situation of the dormitory, which was still under construction.

The previous host building was vacant, but Xia Zhi was a little worried about Bai Yulan living there alone.

"or……"

She was interrupted by Lu Beiting as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Ahem, there are vacancies in the family compound. Miss Bai can stay there for a few days and move in when she feels better here."

My wife finally came back, and we're sleeping in separate rooms? Hmph, no way!

After Xia Zhi returned home, she looked around her courtyard and found that one of the aunts had a spare room where Bai Yulan could stay.

After settling the magnolia, Lu Beiting eagerly pulled her back into the house.

"Hey, what's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Xia Zhi looked at the man beside her, puzzled, while the other aunties covered their mouths and chuckled.

Even Bai Yulan covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled faintly for a while.

After returning home, Lu Beiting locked the door, turned around and hugged her again, his voice filled with frustration and grievance, "You don't even care about me."

She was busy with this and that as soon as she got back, she didn't even glance at him. He felt like he was being abandoned.

Xia Zhi's lips twitched. How come she hadn't noticed before that this man could be so petty? "We just got back, didn't we? Besides, you're perfectly fine, aren't you?"

Xia Zhi sighed, but still reached out and hugged him. "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I was just busy and forgot."

"Then you have to make it up to me!" Lu Beiting whispered in her ear, and before she could react, he picked her up by the waist.

Xia Zhi gasped and wrapped her arms around his neck. The distance between them was incredibly close, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Xia Zhi's eyes darted around.

Lu Beiting chuckled softly, then carried her toward the bed.

Xia Zhi's warm, wet kiss landed on the bed just as she touched it. She pushed him away, not even giving him a chance to speak.

Lu Beiting watched as her face flushed, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed pitifully before letting go, his gaze deep and dark as he looked at her.

"Xiaxia, I'm all better now." So, can we... you know... now?
Lu Beiting didn't say those words in the end, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Xia Zhi noticed the change in his body and turned her head away, not daring to look at him. "I, I..."

Seeing that she couldn't speak for a long time, Lu Beiting sighed helplessly and bent down to hug her.

"I've started my period. Let's talk about it after it's over."

Lu Beiting's frustration vanished instantly. He sat up and pulled her into his arms. "Does your stomach hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?"

Xia Zhi shook her head, thankfully the original owner didn't have the problem of menstrual cramps.

Lu Beiting rested his head on her shoulder, playing with her fingers. "So what are you doing tomorrow? I'll go with you. Are you going up the mountain? Do you want to go on patrol with me?"

Xia Zhi tugged at her clothes and nodded. She was about to get up when he pulled her back to sit down. Looking at the man rubbing against her, Xia Zhi pushed his head and said, "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Lu Beiting then let go of her and got up to fetch water for her to wash up, and then washed himself after she finished.

The next day, before dawn, Xia Zhi greeted Bai Yulan and then followed Lu Beiting and the others up the mountain.

Xia Zhi followed them along the mountain range, and at the highest point, they could even see the thieves' den not far away.

They encountered other patrol teams along the way, exchanged greetings, and then went about their own business, diligently searching every corner.

Looking at the endless mountain range, Xia Zhi sighed again, "It's so long, it would take a whole day to walk back."

“Each squad has its own patrol area, so there’s no problem with patrolling. Now that there are more people, it’s easier.” Lu Beiting pulled her over the large rock, then took out a handkerchief he carried with him to wipe the sweat from her forehead and tidied up Da Shi’s hair.

Xu Rufeng and the people behind him exchanged bewildered glances. Was this still their battalion commander? And he even carried a handkerchief with him.

Oh my, I don't know who used to just lift up their clothes and wipe it, but now they're so particular.

Later, Lu Beiting took her to the outpost. The men carrying guns inside immediately saluted him, saying, "Greetings, Battalion Commander, greetings, Sister-in-law."

Lu Beiting nodded and said to her, "The outposts are rotated once during the day and once at night."

Xia Zhi nodded and looked outside. It was higher and farther from here. Several people had signal guns and horns on their bodies, so they could immediately notify the others if there was any situation. The inside was very small, with only a little room to sit.

After lingering for a while, the two headed to the next location.

Xu Rufeng led his men to continue patrolling, while Lu Beiting, whose leg injury had just healed, was also heading back.

When she returned, Xia Zhi only saw a fleeting afterimage.
