First Change.
-----------------
"Your request certainly isn’t unreasonable, but..." Mikang rubbed his young wife’s refreshing short hair, "I won’t casually agree to sothing I can’t fulfill."
"What do you an?" Chuxia stared at Mikang, bewildered, "You an you will still keep things from in the future? That being honest with is simply impossible?"
"Don’t twist my words..." Mikang looked at his young wife helplessly, "It’s because there might be unforeseen circumstances, so I can’t promise you one hundred percent, but I can guarantee that as long as the conditions allow, I will absolutely not keep things from you."
"That’s more like it..." Chuxia gave him a sidelong glance, "But let be clear, if similar situations happen again and you still keep things from , I will... I’ll divorce you!"
"What nonsense are you talking..." Mikang leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Help out for a walk."
Chuxia stood still: "No running away, answer my question first."
There was no way around it, Mikang had to give his wife a definite answer: "I promise you, if similar situations arise, I will definitely notify you at the first opportunity, and won’t hide it from you."
"Tch!" Chuxia snorted coldly, "Lying again, huh? How will you notify when you’re unconscious?"
"You forced to say that, how co you’re blaming now?" Mikang looked at his wife, amused and helpless, "Alright, alright, you know my character, can we not fuss, okay?"
"Who’s fussing with you?" Chuxia glared at him discontentedly, "Look, you don’t take what I say seriously at all. With that attitude, how am I supposed to trust you?"
"Then tell , what should I do for you to trust ?"
"Forget it..." Chuxia sighed, "Forcing things like this is pointless. As for , I won’t make any demands; I’ll see how you act in the future. Anyway, I’ve put the ugly words upfront; it’s up to you to consider them."
"You’ve demanded from , shouldn’t you also demand from yourself?"
"Demand what from myself?" Chuxia glared at him displeased, "You’re a grown man, yet you’re comparing with ? That’s too contemptible."
"You..." The Division Commander Tongzi was truly defeated by his little wife’s unreasonable tactics; her skill at twisting things was increasingly impressive. He reached out to touch her slightly bulging belly, "Protect them well; it’s also protecting yourself, and it allows to truly be at ease. Shouldn’t you be able to do this?"
"I have done that." Chuxia looked innocently at the Division Commander Tongzi, "If you don’t believe it, I’ll go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow, and get the data to show you. I can tell you, there’s no healthier pregnant woman than ."
Mikang: "..."
"What kind of expression is that?" Chuxia pushed a speechless Division Commander Tongzi to the extre, "Isn’t what I’m saying true? Or, you hope I don’t go to school and stay at ho?"
"Of course not..." A joke, this kind of mont cannot be ambiguous. Mikang quickly explained, "Although I hadn’t woken up earlier, I knew what you were saying and doing.
Your energy is not what it used to be; there are so things that you don’t have to worry about, each person has their own life and has to learn to solve their own problems.
Before knowing you, they were doing just fine. You can’t put all the responsibility on your shoulders just because you got familiar with them. Over ti, everyone will take this reliance as a habit.
Given your current capabilities, you’re not yet prepared to carry such a heavy burden. Therefore, when appropriate, you must learn to say ’no’. Even if you grit your teeth and bear it yourself, eventually, it won’t be sustainable."
Chuxia’s expression darkened: "Do you think I’m over-involved in Grandpa Wan’s matters?"
"No..." Mikang simply retreated to sit on the bed, looking seriously at his young wife, "Sit down, let talk to you properly about this. Actually, I’ve been worrying about this these past few days.
Of course, I’m not worried about Jianming or Yuqiong, I’m worried about you. Although you seem fine on the surface, in reality, you’ve been blaming yourself, right?"
Chuxia dropped her head, trying to hide the tears that fell unconsciously, partly from feeling wronged and partly touched.
Initially, when she helped, she wanted Old Master Wan to live happily.
Later, when she learned about Yuqiong’s situation, her wish expanded to both father and daughter living happily.
But after Jianming’s incident, even though she didn’t say anything outwardly, she kept blaming herself internally.
She felt that if she hadn’t intervened and let things follow their natural course, maybe the result wouldn’t have been so tragic. Even if Yuqiong got hurt one day, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so severe?
Moreover, she secretly investigated Yao Xinqing’s background.
Found that she was pitiful to the point of being unspeakably naive, not valued in her family, her parents only sought benefits from her while ignoring her happiness.
Living in such family conditions for a long ti led to her increasingly distorted ntality. Although she knew it was immoral to be with Jianming, she insisted on doing so.
Of course, Yao Xinqing isn’t worthy of pity; her present situation is entirely her own doing. However, no matter what, she’s still a life...
Thinking about how her good intentions led to such a conclusion, she couldn’t truly not care... at all.
"Sigh..." Seeing his wife’s expression, how could Mikang not understand her thoughts? With the wounds not fully healed, it wasn’t convenient to hold her, so he pointed to the spot next to him.
Chuxia obediently sat next to the Division Commander Tongzi, sniffing her nose: "Mikang, actually, I’m okay, I’ve been trying to console myself too. My mother spoke to , and Grandpa Wan also expressed concerns about overthinking.
I just can’t quite turn the corner imdiately. After all, I’ve never taken another’s life before, regardless of whose fault it is, the initial cause is with , I can’t possibly not feel guilty."
"I understand..." Mikang gently patted her shoulder, "But using this matter to trouble yourself is the most unnecessary thing. You’re smart, you should understand this.
It’s just that you can’t do it right away. In fact, if you had not intervened, one day, the most significant harm would be to the most innocent party. There has to be trade-offs, right?"
"Yes." Chuxia nodded, then lifted her head and smiled at him, "I’ve noticed you actually understand quite well. Upon just waking up, you already know what I’m thinking, hehe..."
"You’re my wife, how can I not understand you?" Mikang looked at her with amusent, "Do you think you’re clever, thinking I don’t understand you at all, right?
Actually, from the first ti we t, I got a rough sense of your personality. Don’t think I’m bluffing; consider how much older I am than you and how much I’ve been through, and you’ll believe it. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have survived till now.
Chuxia, I know you’ve been especially worried about during this period, but I have to tell you, this current mission is, compared to the past, absolutely considered to have a very high safety factor.
No matter what, we’re a team operation, and with your help, my understanding of the enemy is much greater than theirs about us. Before, I often ventured alone into enemy territory.
Without reinforcents, everything relied on oneself, succeed, and you live; fail, and the world has one less person, possibly disappearing silently.
The most severe episode, I was shot five tis, with one hitting just the left chest. If that shot was one centiter higher, I wouldn’t have survived. Of course, this one centiter under dical conditions is definitely not a problem.
But under those circumstances, with no reinforcents and no ability to continue, it’s absolutely fatal. But do you know how I survived?"
"Don’t tell you dug the bullets out yourself, from whichever perspective, that’s simply impossible. Even if you’re ruthless enough to do it, your body wouldn’t withstand it."
Mikang looked at Chuxia speechless: "Seems like you’ve read too many novels, even guessing such possibilities. If I had such skills, wouldn’t I be a deity?"
"Hehe..." Chuxia awkwardly laughed, "Not letting guess ans I have to start with the least plausible guesses then. However, regardless of how you survived, it shows you have a big destiny."
"Yes, that’s what everyone says about ..." Mikang sighed, continuing, "That ti, I really thought I was going to die. With all my strength, after taking out several n, I lay there staring at the sky, waiting for life’s final end.
It’s not that I was weak, I genuinely couldn’t move. I listed all the unfinished regrettable things, ultimately failing to find a reason to persist, so I decided I wanted to join Xiaorao.
In this passive abandonnt, I didn’t even know when I drifted asleep more than anything else, a pack of wolves might gnaw into bones.
Yet who would have thought my luck was so good that the International Rescue Organization happened to pass by, picked up and took away, and I woke thinking I was in Heaven.
From then on, I decided never to easily give up my life again; at any point, I must strive to survive. Heaven arranged so, and I must not take it lightly.
Proven by fact, Heaven was indeed quite nice to , finally one day, I t you, and now, together we are expecting our baby. Such happiness was sothing I never dared to imagine before.
As for marriage, in my mind, it’s always been dispensable, but because of you, I’ve co to realize marriage has many forms, and I’m fortunate to be in the happiest kind." (To be continued.
