Yun Hao gave a slight nod, the fire he left was blazing for Meng Yunhan, before he headed outside.
Meng Yunhan hurriedly began preparing the noodles.
When Lu Jianjun saw Yun Hao come out of the kitchen, he was so overwhelmed that tears welled up in his eyes.
âA brave man sheds blood, not tears.â Yun Hao said impassively.
This persuaded Lu Jianjun to hold back his tears, âCommanderâ¦.â

Commissioner Gu gave up on his idea of watching the spectacle and patted Lu Jianjunâs shoulder, âXiaoyun is now better, we should be happy. Whatâs with your crying? Are you a man?â
âOf course, I am a man.â Lu Jianjun firmly responded.
âCome inside.â Yun Hao was thinking about his sleeping son in the bed. Being inside the house would allow them to keep an eye on him and prevent any bed-wetting incidents.
The three men walked into the room, and the tiny bundle on the bed was the most noticeable.
Lu Jianjun inspected Little Huzi closely. How much had changed since his last visit? His nephew had grown a lot, from a tiny bundle to a somewhat grown-up child with meat on his face and body. His little arms and legs were chubby.
âDonât they look alike? Heâs so much like Xiaoyun!â Commissioner Gu couldnât help but assert, regardless of Yun Haoâs indifference.
âHe indeed takes after the Commander remarkably.â
Thinking of his sister-in-law, Lu Jianjun couldnât help but remember the last time they saw each other.
At that time, his sister-in-law was unwilling to forgive him.

âXiaoyun, I heard from my sister-in-law about your recovery, whatâs going on?â As soon as he sat down, Commissioner Gu asked the question, also for Lu Jianjunâs sake.
Yun Hao summed it up in few words, âIâve been in bed for several months now, Iâm practically rusting. My entire body needs to readjust.â
This unusual explanation left Commissioner Gu speechless: Yun was truly extraordinary.
Could such a thing really be possible?
âCommander, have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? What did the doctor say?â Lu Jianjun asked, somewhat obliviously, eager for a definitive answer.
He would never forget in his entire life that he owed Yun Hao his life, not just once, but numerous times.
âIâll go for the check-up tomorrow,â answered Commissioner Gu.
If there were any lingering problems, Xiaoyunâs military career might end, and he might have to leave the forces.
He didnât mention these consequences. Xiaoyun had woken up and returned to the troop, which was good news. The bad news was left for later discussion.
Yun Hao was well aware of these matters.
Nobody was pointing out the elephant in the room.
The topic did not continue, shifting instead to recent happenings in the camp, their latest assignments.
They even mentioned the ongoing battle they had won, which had not ceased despite Yun Haoâs absence.
âThe noodles are ready.â Meng Yunhanâs gentle voice interrupted the menâs conversation.
âJust by looking at these noodles, you can tell they are delicious.â Commissioner Gu was always good with words and praised her culinary skills in high terms.
âI am very eager to eat. Itâs been a while since I last tasted my sister-in-lawâs cooking.â Lu Jianjun complimented her modestly.
Meng Yunhan knew that they had a hearty appetite and so she had prepared more than a pound of noodles, topped with fried eggs and mince meat. The bowl of noodles looked appetizing from any angle.
Without wasting words, Commissioner Gu picked up his bowl and began to eat.
Lu Jianjun also lowered his head to eat the noodles, enjoying each bite.
As for Yun Hao, he showed his respect by thoroughly enjoying the noodles his wife cooked. The noodles themselves were delicious and he emptied the large bowl quickly.
