Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Love Brain

A piece of paper had appeared in her hand. A closer look would reveal it to be a paper packet for wrapping medicine.

Meanwhile, Xiao Li hurried back to the train car.

Lu Zhengchuan had already recovered. He took the steamed buns, mantou, and soy milk Xiao Li handed him and quickly finished his lunch, then picked up a pen to write a letter.

"Xiao Li, when we get to the next station, have someone mail this letter back to Wanwan."

"Got it, Battalion Commander." Xiao Li teased, "Battalion Commander, you miss Sister-in-law?"

"Get outta here. A guy like you without a wife wouldn’t understand." Lu Zhengchuan’s lips curved up. The mere thought of his wife and child made him happy.

How could a bachelor like Xiao Li not understand the appeal of having a wife, a child, and a warm bed to come home to?

Besides, his sister-in-law was so beautiful and smart, practically a walking encyclopedia who knew everything. If he had a wife like that, he wouldn’t be able to bear leaving her either.

Xiao Li remembered his task and smacked his forehead. "Oh, right, Battalion Commander. Before we left, Sister-in-law told me that if you don’t eat your meals on time, I have to tell her."

"I haven’t done it so far, but now that you’re sending a letter to Sister-in-law, I should send one too." Xiao Li was clearly saying this just to provoke him.

Sure enough, Lu Zhengchuan raised his hand and slapped him on the back. "You brat. Now you’re using Wanwan to bully your own superior?"

"When have I ever not eaten on time? I’ve just been too busy lately. Things on the battlefield change in an instant. I can’t just stop a meeting halfway through to eat, can I?"

"Write whatever you want. I’m not afraid of you. Wanwan will definitely understand."

Lu Zhengchuan lifted his chin, unable to hide his pride and smugness. He was proud of how outstanding and considerate his wife was.

Xiao Li really wanted to punch him. ’Couples who show off break up faster. The Battalion Commander is just asking for a beating.’

"Battalion Commander, I’ll go write my letter to Sister-in-law now." Xiao Li thought, ’I should ask Sister-in-law to find me a wife too, preferably one just like her.’

Lu Zhengchuan, not feeling assured, called out to him, "Let me look over your letter after you’re done."

If the brat tried to slip in any of his own opinions, he could watch him and make him change it.

Xiao Li was speechless.

’Does the Battalion Commander have to be so petty?’

Su Wan read for the whole morning. After lunch, her back started aching so much that she had to lie down. She didn’t expect that during her short afternoon rest, she would have another dream.

This time, a female army doctor and Lu Zhengchuan appeared in her dream.

She saw the female army doctor putting some kind of powder into the medicine Lu Zhengchuan took regularly.

With such a furtive movement, Su Wan would never believe she wasn’t up to no good.

In the dream, Xiao Li took a few packets of medicine from the female army doctor. Before leaving, he called out her name, letting Su Wan know she was called Zhou Lin.

Now that she had a name, Su Wan, aware that she was dreaming, was no longer in a hurry. She let the dream continue to unfold.

After Xiao Li left, Zhou Lin continued to dispense medicine to other soldiers. When she was done, she opened a notebook and wrote something in it. Unfortunately, Su Wan couldn’t see the contents, so even trying to guess was useless.

She had assumed that a villain like Zhou Lin, who was trying to harm Lu Zhengchuan, must have accomplices. But for the rest of the dream, Zhou Lin only treated wounded soldiers and secretly put the substance in Lu Zhengchuan’s medicine; there were no other actions.

When the dream ended, Su Wan woke up with her brows still furrowed.

Based on just a dream, she had no evidence of what substance the female army doctor, Zhou Lin, had put in Lu Zhengchuan’s medicine, nor could she find any accomplices, let alone figure out why she was drugging him.

Besides, was it definitely a harmful drug?

Su Wan leaned toward the conclusion that it was indeed a harmful substance, because her premonitive dreams only ever occurred when she or Lu Zhengchuan were in danger.

Therefore, although Su Wan felt she lacked sufficient evidence and useful information, she decisively chose to report it.

Master Ji, who answered the phone: "..."

Honestly, if Comrade Su Wan hadn’t always been so reliable, he would have dismissed the information she provided as a joke.

But... he remembered how a fighter jet had been found to have a hidden problem—a missing part. If it had really taken off, the cockpit controls would have suddenly failed, and it would have crashed for sure.

"Comrade Su Wan, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for people to investigate and I’ll also notify and warn Xiao Lu."

Master Ji also knew that Su Wan was primarily concerned about Lu Zhengchuan.

He naturally gave his full assurance that he would keep Lu Zhengchuan safe.

Su Wan trusted him even more. "Master Ji, thank you for your hard work."

"It’s no trouble at all."

Su Wan hung up the phone and walked out of the communications room, bumping into Huang Qing, who was walking over with her large belly.

Huang Qing was no longer as enthusiastic when she saw her. She gave a bland nod as a greeting, then turned and walked straight past the communications room, heading to the entrance to meet the relatives who had come to visit her.

Su Wan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Qing had been too friendly, and she really didn’t have the energy to deal with it. It was perfect that the other woman was ignoring her of her own accord.

However, not long after Su Wan returned to her room, Aunt Zhao came hurrying over.

"Wanwan, that boy Su Jue is here. He wants to see you."

"Third Brother?" Su Wan was surprised. "Is there something he needs?"

"I don’t know. He’s outside undergoing a security check. If you agree to see him, you’ll need to go to the visiting room next door to meet him. He can’t come over here."

Su Wan understood the military’s rules. They were meant to prevent relatives of personnel from being bribed to become spies and gather information.

It was just a short walk, so Su Wan had no objection.

She got up, holding her belly, and as she walked to the visiting room, she saw Huang Qing meeting with her family in the room next door.

Su Wan only glanced over once before looking away, not paying the other woman much attention.

She walked into the room and immediately saw Su Jue sitting there.

"Third Brother, what brings you here? Is everything okay at home?" Su Wan’s attention had recently been focused on the baby in her belly and Lu Zhengchuan on the battlefield, so she hadn’t paid much attention to her family.

She felt a little guilty as she said this.

"Everything’s fine at home. Second Brother came back too. He’s doing business with Mom and Dad. He’s a hard worker and earning quite a bit. Nuannuan can even drink milk formula now." Su Jue shared the good news from home.

Su Wan was overjoyed. "Really? I didn’t know Second Brother was good at business too. Now all the brothers in the family are successful. Mom and Dad won’t have to worry about any of their children having a hard time."

"Wanwan, I came to see you today because I wanted to tell you something. I’m going to study abroad."

"Huh?" Su Wan was surprised for only a moment before she smiled and congratulated him. "Third Brother, you’re amazing! It’s only been a few months and you’ve already gotten the chance to study abroad on a government scholarship."

Su Jue shook his head. "It’s not a government scholarship. I’m going as an exchange student. This time, it’s an exchange between our university and Capital University in the northern E Country. The exchange period is half a year."

"I was chosen because I can speak the language of E Country."

"Going as an exchange student at a time like this?" Su Wan frowned, her thoughts turning to the current war. Although it had nothing to do with E Country—it was M Country and the southern Y Country attempting to invade Hua Country—it was impossible to say that E Country was completely uninvolved. For now, the two sides maintained a superficial harmony, but going to E Country at this time... who knew how the relationship between the two nations might change.
