Second watch.

"I guess it’s my business. You just say the answer yourself, let see if I guessed right, okay? Hurry up and say it..." Chuxia playfully shook Zhou Mikang’s arm, urging him to answer her.
Zhou Mikang remained unmoved: "How about you say the answer, let see how well you know ."
"Annoying..." Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "This little thing and you’re asking back, didn’t you say you would indulge , spoil ? Can I trust you?"
Zhou Mikang: "..." Where did this co from?
"Hehe..." Seeing Zhou Mikang’s speechless expression, Chuxia smiled smugly, "I’m clearly telling you, you can’t reason with won. Just listen and quickly tell your thoughts."
In Zhou Mikang’s eyes, the mischievous look of his young wife was not annoying at all; rather, he found it uniquely adorable, so he answered honestly: "Of course I’m happy, haven’t you noticed that since we set the wedding date, I’ve been smiling ear to ear every day?"
"Really, really, you admitted it yourself; I didn’t force you..." Chuxia said as she gently stroked her belly, "Babies, did you hear what your dad said? You have to testify for mom in the future."
Zhou Mikang had a headache; what’s there to testify? Is it possible that he would go back on his word? He’s always been soone whose word is as good as gold, and since he admitted it himself, there’s absolutely no chance of reneging.
Moreover, the fact was that, in his view at the ti, marrying his young wife wasn’t easy, and making her fall in love with him was even harder.
Now it seems that he did quite well; the change in his young wife’s attitude towards him happened much faster than he’d estimated.
...
The next day after breakfast, the whole family headed out in large numbers to Guazhao Photographic Studio; after Chuxia shared her idea of taking photos, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe discussed and decided that the whole family should go to take a family portrait together.
Then, they went to have the sweet potato casserole at Old Yin’s House, which Chuxia was longing for.
At four in the afternoon, Zhou Mikang set off on his journey back, as he had to lead his team in training at night and couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
"Sumr, is there sothing you and Xiaomi are hiding from us?" After the car left, Zhao Yulan took her daughter into the room and asked softly, "Talk to your mom, don’t hide from ."
Chuxia blinked her big eyes: "There’s nothing to hide, mom, you’re overthinking."
"You’re clearly lying..." Zhao Yulan sighed, "Why did we insist on coming along? It’s because since Xiaomi ca yesterday, we felt sothing was off.
Your grandpa guessed that Xiaomi might be going on a mission soon. Sumr, tell your mom, is that what’s happening? Also, can he co back when you give birth?"
Since they had already guessed it, Chuxia didn’t want to hide anymore. After considering, she replied, "Mom, the exact ti for the mission hasn’t been decided yet, but it’s pretty much confird that it won’t be dragged on for long, so when the babies are born, he’ll probably already be on the mission.
But don’t worry, mom, Zhou Mikang will be fine. It’s precisely because he’s familiar with that place and has done his howork that he’s been chosen again. Mom, isn’t it especially prideful to have such a capable son-in-law who shines for the nation?"
Already starting to cry, Zhao Yulan angrily poked her daughter’s forehead: "You little rascal, if it were outsiders, mom would definitely say proud; but for family, what’s the point of pretending?
Of course, mom knows, as a soldier, it’s right to protect the country, but at this ti, how could mom want to see her son-in-law leave? Think about it..." Choking up, Zhao Yulan couldn’t continue.
"Mom, we mustn’t dwell on the negative; moreover, if people always think negatively, it leads to nothing. You should trust him, and trust his abilities.
Just think, he’s been through so many things before and returned unhard, right? This ti, with the babies and our whole family in his thoughts, he definitely won’t let anything happen to himself.
Admittedly, that last injury was an accident, but it won’t happen again. Also, there’s sothing Zhou Mikang asked to discuss with mom; Brother Qiliang also wants to go, but Zhou Mikang wants him to stay.
Mom, talk to Eldest maternal uncle and aunt, see what they think, after all, Brother Qiliang just got married, and Xiaoqiong just got pregnant; if he stays, there’ll be so backbone for everyone."
