“Yes, please come over for a moment.”

People who could enter or exit a military camp at such times were definitely not bad folks, and they were often quite important; Su Meixi was naturally not worried.

She figured this man was either from Gu Wei’s side, or one of Xi Huarong’s men, so she approached him.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Mr. Xi’s secretary, my surname is Chen,” Secretary Chen said.

“Hello,” Su Meixi replied politely.

“Mr. Xi sent me to find you. He said he saw you during the day, do you have time to meet with him?” Secretary Chen asked.

Su Meixi nodded her head; not going would be disrespectful.

Then, Secretary Chen led Su Meixi to the command center.

The command was quite large, with several small meeting rooms inside, and Secretary Chen brought Su Meixi into one of them.

Inside sat Xi Huarong, with a variety of snacks laid out in front of him.

Upon seeing Su Meixi come in, Xi Huarong greeted her with a smile, “Xiao Xi, please take a seat.”

He was merely sitting there, but his presence was enough to command respect, and Su Meixi couldn’t help but sit down.

Xi Huarong asked her, “Is this your first time serving as a field medic here?”

Su Meixi nodded, “Yes, it is an honor to have this opportunity.”

“How do you feel about it?” Xi Huarong said as he pushed the snacks in front of him towards her, indicating she should eat something.

Su Meixi swallowed.

Today, she really was starving; they had been following the exact rations of the battlefield, and though logistics provided meals, the portions weren’t large. She became hungry soon after eating, and there were no breaks in between.

She took a piece of mung bean cake from in front of her and began to eat, while saying, “It’s okay, all in all, it’s been a very rare experience, and today I saw a lot of weapons, tanks, and armored vehicles, which was quite shocking.”

“That’s just one aspect; there are many more advanced weapons that haven’t been shown,” Xi Huarong said, smiling.

“Then, why are you here?” Su Meixi boldly asked.

“Oh, I’m just here to observe,” Xi Huarong explained.

“Then… am I disturbing you?” Su Meixi asked.

“Not at all, sit for a while longer.”

No sooner had Xi Huarong finished speaking than another man barged in jovially, his voice preceding him, “Hahaha, Old Xi, guess what the Blue Team is up to now…”

But as he entered, he saw Su Meixi and paused in surprise.

“What’s this, keeping a beauty hidden away?” Old Zhang asked.

Xi Huarong gave a helpless smile before introducing her, “This is Captain Gu’s wife, who’s also my goddaughter; she saved my daughter’s life, and Shirui really likes her.”

“Gu Wei’s wife? It’s you?” Old Zhang exclaimed, looking Su Meixi over, then said, “The young lady is attractive and well-mannered; no wonder Gu Wei likes you so much, why he’d marry you despite family pressures.”

Surprised, Su Meixi realized that the man who looked like Zhang Fei was the one and only Old Zhang, Gu Wei’s direct superior.

Old Zhang sat down and began to chat mostly about Gu Wei, “Gu Wei used to be quite set in his ways, not entertaining thoughts of marriage regardless of who suggested it. Then one day, he submitted a marriage application report to me.

As soon as I saw that the kid had come to his senses, I naturally approved it. But before long, he submitted a divorce application. I immediately felt it wasn’t his true wish, especially since he was injured, so I didn’t approve it. His mom came to me many times, but I steadfastly refused because I knew the divorce must have been pressured by her.”

Xi Huarong took a deep breath, “There was such a matter? It’s tough if a daughter-in-law isn’t liked by her mother-in-law. Do you need me to meet with your mother-in-law?”

Quickly, Su Meixi replied, “No need, I seldom meet my mother-in-law, and there isn’t really such a difficult situation. Besides, Gu Wei stands by my side; every time my mother-in-law troubles me, Gu Wei manages to make her mad, so she doesn’t dare to bother me anymore.”

Xi Huarong nodded, “That’s good then.”

Su Meixi let out a sigh of relief, and Xi Huarong added, “Now that you’re my goddaughter, we’ll inevitably meet. I’ll meet with your mother-in-law when there’s a chance.”

Su Meixi: “…”

Seeing Old Zhang had arrived, she supposed they surely had important business to discuss, so she excused herself.

Xi Huarong told her to take the food from the table and share it with the other doctors and nurses, which she did.

Stepping out of the command center, the cold air hit her, and she became much more alert.

At that moment, a bright moon hung in the sky, and lights from the nearby camp shone through; doctors and nurses wrapped in their military coats were chatting on the grass, and she suddenly felt a sense of peace.

She had just taken a moment to watch the moon, when sounds of artillery fire came from not too far away.

In her heart, she wished: May the world be peaceful, and people live and work in contentment.

…

On the second and third days, Su Meixi continued to do the same things, tirelessly rescuing the wounded on the battlefield.

The second day her whole body ached, but by the third day, her body had adapted to the pace, becoming more agile.

But on the fourth day, she herself was hit by a bullet.

Shot in the chest, according to the rules, she couldn’t participate in the rescue for the rest of the day.

She exited the field disheartened.

Just as she returned to the camp, Secretary Chen came to find her again, “Xiao Su, Mr. Xi is asking if you’re heading back to the city today?”

Su Meixi replied, “Yes, I am.”

The exercise lasted for four days, and she was due to return to the city that day.

“Mr. Xi can give you a ride back.”

“No, that’s okay, I can just go with my colleagues,” she demurred.

Secretary Chen said, “They won’t be leaving that soon; they might not finish until 9 p.m. You’d have to wait here half the day. You might as well go back and rest earlier. Actually, it’s no issue, I’ll just talk to your team leader; your other colleague, Dr. Shan, has already left.”

“Is that so?”

Su Meixi thought it through and decided to head back.

She knew she was now looking forward to spending time with her biological father, a natural instinct, not something that would fade if she tried to be cold.

Besides, she hadn’t bathed in several days, longing for a hot shower at home and a good sleep.

Thinking this over, she went to pack her things.

Xi Huarong came back with a different car, with Secretary Chen driving, and Xi Huarong and Su Meixi sat in the back.

Xi Huarong asked Su Meixi again, “How have the past few days been for you?”

“Pretty good, I’ve experienced the horrors of war and hope that what I’ve been through these days will always remain an exercise, and that real wars will never come.”

Because war results in many deaths.

Xi Huarong nodded, “Your thoughts are correct.”

“And I’m thankful for the group of strong people protecting us,” Su Meixi said.

Xi Huarong nodded again and became contemplative, “Yes, the People’s Liberation Army will always be the guardian angels of the common people.”

The conversation reached this point when suddenly the car stopped.

“What happened?” Xi Huarong inquired.

Secretary Chen replied, “The car’s broken down, I’ll go check it out.”
