Chapter 29

No sooner had Long Shen came out from the infirmary than he heard the shout of Xu Yangyi. He indifferently said, “The colonel is on the operation now.” Then, he ordered Ji Guangming who was standing aside, “The colonel commands you to take responsible of the daily life of his wife.”

“Me?” Ji Guangming pointed at himself with a stunned and confused look. He thought that it would not be him because he had already refused and elaborated the reason to the colonel.

“Or it should be me?” Long Shen cast a glance at Ji Guangming, giving a sense of pressure on him. Ji Guangming was frightened and hurriedly saluted to show his obedience, “Yes, sir!”

Whereas, the others were jealous of his task.

“Ji Guangming, how lucky you are! You are so fortunate to take care of the wife of our colonel.”

“That’s right. I’m so envious of you! What a lucky dog!”

“Why not me?”

“Damn! I’m so jealous!”

…

All the subordinates were envious of Ji Guangming, but he, totally a stubborn guy, helplessly said, “I would rather give the task to you guys if I could.” ‘I’m a man, so it’s not appropriate for me to take care of other’s wife.’

When Ji Guangming was complaining in his mind, the others were suppressing their impulse to beat him up for hearing what he had said and then continued scolding.

“Ji Guangming, you want a good smack, huh?”

“Do you want a fight?”

“Just count your blessing!”

“She is the only woman in our troop!”

…

No matter what they said, in fact, they were jealous of Ji Guangming for having the opportunity to take care of the beautiful wife of the colonel! However, they would probably feel grateful for not being the person to take care of Xu Yangyi.

Unlike the subordinates who were noisily gabbling, Nan Xiao instantly came up to Long Shen. “I’ve heard that the colonel has been not injured severely, but why does he need an operation?” He sounded a little nervous as if he was worried sick about He Jingyan.

Long Shen sighed, “Thanks to his wife, two of his ribs were fractured.” When saying these, He didn’t look at Xu Yangyi but only led the road ahead. Then he said to Xu Yangyi, “I’ll take you to the accommodation of the colonel right now.”

At the moment, Xu Yangyi was twitching his mouth. ‘What did he just say? It’s all because of me that He Jingyan had two ribs fractured? Are they broken because of my kicks?’

Xu Yangyi was reluctant to believe it until Ji Guangming pointed out the way for him to He Jingyan’s residence. He finally pinched his brows and sighed, ‘Kidding me?! Is the man so vulnerable?’

“At that time, the impact force that our car was far beyond the endurance of a normal person. If it were me who bore the hit, I would probably have my ribs extensive fractured instead of just getting severely wounded.” Long Shen walking in front suddenly explained to Xu Yangyi as if he had already known that Xu Yangyi would misunderstand He Jingyan.

Hearing the explanation, Xu Yangyi was quivered in great shock. ‘Have the ribs extensive fractured? So it’s true when he said he was seriously wounded. He actually didn’t lie to me.’

At the moment, Xu Yangyi recalled the scene that He Jingyan had told him that he had got severe injuries and asked him to go easy on him in the car.

Not until then did Xu Yangyi realize his mistakes and felt a bit of guilty. He thought inwardly with an ashamed feeling, ‘I should really be nicer to him after the operation! After all, he got injured because of protecting me and his fractured ribs were broken by my kicks.’

With the thought of it, Xu Yangyi was sullen with his face fell. Long Shen glanced at his expression and curved up his lips. ‘Fortunately, you could still realize your mistakes.’

After three of them had left, the subordinates twitched their mouth. ‘The wife of our colonel broke two ribs of the colonel. A woman like her?!’

They still couldn’t believe this news for a while. However, Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes and hastily walked away, nervously pacing up and down in front of the door of the room.
