Lu Zhanke looked terrifying, evil, and annoyed. Ai Changhuan shrunk his shoulders subconsciously, thinking that he would eventually fail to hold back from hitting her. But to his surprise, Lu lifted the blanket and got off the bed.
Ai Changhuan shouted, and pulled out a blanket to cover his head. "Get your hands off! Hitting others is against the law, so is domestic violence!"
Lu Zhanke turned around, wanting to reply to him, but he failed to lose his patience upon seeing his useless gaze. She took out the clothes to wear today from the closet and left, slamming the door behind.
Hearing that voice, Ai Changhuan pulled out her blanket and peeked closely. Lu Zhanke has left.
He hit the bed with anger. Seeing the bath towel at the side, he picked it up angrily and threw it on the ground. After venting her anger, she could not help but cry anymore.
Lu Zhanke, that bastard! He even spits out a lot of blood...
He did not know where it was hurting, but Ai Changhuan felt weak everywhere, lying on the bed, crying and sulking.
Lu Zhanke arrived at his office early and ordered the guard, Qiao Sheng, to announce that he would not meet anyone today. “If Deputy Chief Ouyang comes, then tell Ouyang that I will coach the team. If it's Pei, just tell her that I don't want to meet anyone today.”
Lu Zhanke was not arrogant. In fact, it was because he was completely embarrassed by the two scarlet slap marks left on his face when Ai Changhuan slapped him. His strength had improved greatly since he started working on the farm. The young woman tends to turn into an iron woman.
He was too embarrassed to tell others that he was beaten by his wife.
Ai Changhuan actually regretted it when he slapped her, but after the two became impatient and annoyed, they could not withstand their blows. Ai Changhuan also knew that she had hit him hard, even her own hands were numb from the slap.
Even though they were fighting, it was completely wrong to slap the others. But in this case, he would never humbly admit his mistake.
He was still sulking at this moment because of his regret.
After sending his friends away during the day, Pei Mu hurriedly returned to the office. How could Lu Zhanke leave him with such trouble while Lu was hiding somewhere and enjoying his free time?
At the entrance of Lu Zhanke's office, Pei saw Qiao Sheng standing at the door. No need to ask, Lu Zhanke must be inside.
Pei Zheng was about to enter when Qiao Sheng stepped forward and stopped him. "Again, Commander! Captain Lu forbids anyone to meet him today, so I have to stop you."
Pei Zheng considered him just a child. "It's none of your business, Lu and I should discuss matters."
Qiao Sheng's expression instantly changed, his seriousness crumbling down. He rubbed his hands and still kept in front of Pei Zhao, even though he wasn't as firm at the beginning. "Alright, Commander Pei, if you go in, the Captain will shoot me."
Pei Mu pretended to kick it. "Go. If I don't get in today, I'll shoot you."
Qiao Sheng frowned and said, "Don't do that! I had to raise my 80-year-old mother along with a helpless younger brother and sister. I can't die."
"really? Your mother gave birth to your brothers and sisters at the age of eighty? She could give birth at such an advanced age?"
"That's overkill. Stop haggling with me. Commander Pei, I'm sorry, let me go."
"Come, as long as you can take my fists, I'll forgive you."
Then, a second later, Qiao Sheng cried out for help in the corridor.
"Take my fist!"
"Aah!"
"Sweep leg!"
"Ughhh!"
"Eight Extreme Fists!"
"That hurts!"
"Dry clean!"
"Captain Lu, save me!"
In fact, Lu Zhanke knew Pei was here as soon as he arrived. He thought that Qiao Sheng could block it, but to his surprise, Qiao immediately told the truth. Worse, he even worked with Pei to trick him. They pretend to fight until they are tired.
Speaking of Pei Mu and Qiao Sheng, the two had been pretending in the corridor for so long, yet Lu Zhanke did not appear. Thus, they knew that Lu had seen their trick, upsetting them.
But to pretend, they had to pull all the stops. Pei sent a flying kick, and Qiao Sheng exaggeratedly retreated three steps. Then he stood still, covering his chest and spewing out blood that was not there. "You're great!"
"Thank you for letting me win!" Pei Mu pulled his collar, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Lu Zhanke was sitting behind his desk, his back facing them.
Pei Mu came forward and said directly, "Lu, it's hard to meet you. Wh why? You don't even want to see me?"
Lu Zhanke slowly turned around and looked coldly at Pei.
Pei Mu was startled by his appearance. Whatwhat the fuck?
"Lu, your face." said Pei Mu hesitantly.
"I've seen it before, but we've just been doing combat exercises indoors. There's no field practice, so there's no need to use it."
"I just want to do some assault practice, okay?" Lu Zhanke slapped the table. "Qiao Sheng!"
"Captain!" Qiao Sheng, who was outside, immediately rushed in.
"Tell everyone, we'll practice this afternoon!"
"Now?" Qiao Sheng was a little confused. But it's meal time. Lao Guo, who was in charge of the cooking class, said that there would be boiled pork today.
But Lu Zhanke's face was extremely ugly: "Now, soon, soon!"
"Yes!" Qiao Sheng did not dare to say more. He saluted and ran away.
Pei Mu glared at him. "What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medication?" Pei, who was smiling, inevitably looked serious because he realized that Lu Zhanke seemed to be thinking of something. In that case, training was just another way to vent his anger. The new group of recruits would not be able to bear it! They will suffer because of it.
While frowning, Lu Zhanke did not speak.
"Camerad Lu Zhanke!" Pei Mu could not help but emphasize his tone.
Lu Zhanke was impatient. "What's wrong with you? You're like an old woman! It's for their own good. When the war came, the situation was even more abrupt than this. Do you think the enemy will tell you when they come? Will war happen? wait till you're ready? I train them to be ready to respond at any time!"
"You!" Pei Mu was silent. "I can sense that you are not in the right state of mind. What's going on?"
"Do you have the right to interfere in my personal affairs?" Lu Zhanke snapped.
"I'm a political commissioner. It is my responsibility to keep the emotions of the soldiers in check. As the leader of the entire regiment and your emotions are very important, so you have to tell me."
"I ..." The silent turn of Lu Zhanke. But how could he tell the truth that he was beaten up by Ai Changhuan? If he really did, he would be looked down upon by everyone there.
Lu Zhanke sat there, his mouth tightly closed like a seashell, refusing to say anything.
"Forget it, I'm too impatient to ask you." Knowing that he would not get a response, Pei Mu chose to leave. "I'm going home. If you want to say something, meet me."
Pei Mu went outside, was just about to go home, when he met Qiao Sheng who was returning from the meeting. He greeted her and asked, "What happened to Lu?"
Qiao Sheng gasped, stammered, "I .. I don't know ..."
"You picked her up today! How do you not know? Say it! Hurry along!" Pei Mu looked a little scary when he was angry.
"I really don't know. When Captain Lu came out, his face was so pouting that I was afraid to say anything. As soon as we arrived, she held herself in the office and said no one was allowed to meet her. I don't know anything else."
"So, did you see anything strange about him today?"
"..." - ".Qiao Sheng almost cried. Sometimes it is not good to know too much. Should he say it or not? Can someone come and save her? He doesn't want to die!
"Tell me!" Seeing Qiao Sheng's expression, Pei Mu knew that he must have known something.
“Yeah..when I came out this morning..the captain seemed to have two slap marks on his face.” replied Qiao Sheng weakly. He cried, holding onto Pei Mu's thigh, "Commander, you must not tell him that I'm the one who told you. Captain's really gonna kill me."
"Yes right, go ahead and report. I'll take care of this matter myself." No one in the entire barracks dared to slap Lu Zhanke, and he refused to tell anyone. It was easy to guess that only Ai Changhuan could do it.
Above all, it is still a matter of the couple. It would be very troublesome for him to intervene. He could only wait and see for now. If the couple did not reconcile in a few days, he would let Yang Anxin in.
“Oh, the young couple! Why do they fight instead of getting along?” Pei Mu shook his head and left, his hands on his back.
Trembling, Qiao Sheng reported the situation to Lu Zhanke. He was about to leave when Lu Zhanke called out to him again. "Stop, help me take care of something."
"A... what?" Qiao Sheng's legs shook.
"Go to the cafeteria to eat and bring it to my house." Although he was angry, Lu still remembered Ai Changhuan's food. He was afraid that he would not cook and instead starve.
After the order, he punished himself. Why would he care about a woman who thinks good is bad? He had to let her starve, maybe he would obey after she starved.
Qiao Sheng carefully looked at Lu Zhanke's face, making sure that he wasn't joking before asking: "Then ... will I go to training after that?"
"You don't have to come. Enough. Just take care of my house. Make sure nothing happens, okay?" Fearing that Ai Changhuan would really cause chaos, Lu Zhanke added, "If anything happens, go straight to Pei's wife."
"Yes, Captain!" Hearing that he didn't have to participate in the training, Qiao Sheng rushed off, afraid that Lu Zhanke would regret it in the next second.
It really gave Lu Zhanke a headache. It seems that the greatest truth in the world, as Confucius said, is that it is difficult for men and women to get along.
Lu Zhanke rubbed his eyebrows, took his military cap, and walked out the door.
"New recruits, I'm sorry, but you're going through a tough time today."
