“It’s only a minor cold. I will recover soon. Actually, I don’t catch a cold often. Don’t worry about me. I’ll certainly be fine. You bought me so much medication. I most likely won’t even be able to finish them by this time next year. Brother Zhai, you… you have to pay attention to your own safety too.”

“Alright, I know.” Zhai Sheng had, in fact, ‘squeezed out’ time in his busy schedule to visit Qiao Nan. He also spent some time to buy medicine for her. “Nan Nan, have a good rest. Remember to take your medicine. I’m leaving and will come and see you again when I’m back the next time.”

Having that said, Zhai Sheng dared not delay any further. He jumped out of Qiao Nan’s bedroom and shut the windows meticulously. He hopped into his car after he left the small quad and headed immediately for the army.

Qiao Nan, who was lying on the bed, held on tightly to the blanket. She then rubbed her face on the corner of the blanket that was pinched by Zhai Sheng before. She put away the medicine from Zhai Sheng properly before falling asleep peacefully.

Perhaps Zhai Sheng’s appearance was more effective than any kind of cold medicine. When Qiao Dongliang returned home from grocery shopping with cold medicine in hand, he found Qiao Nan looking much better. “Nan Nan, wake up and take your medicine. If you’re still sleepy, take your medicine first before continuing to sleep.”

“Dad.” Qiao Nan sat up and rubbed her eyes. She took the cold medicine with warm water. “Dad, I’m still feeling lethargic.”

“No worries. Continue to sleep.” Qiao Dongliang helped Qiao Nan lie down and covered her fully with the blanket. He was about to leave when he noticed that the windows in her bedroom were opened.

Qiao Dongliang halted his steps and wanted to ask Qiao Nan if she had opened the windows.

However, when Qiao Dongliang turned to look, Qiao Nan had already fallen asleep. Qiao Dongliang shook his head and closed the windows for Qiao Nan. He then left the room and prepared a meal for Qiao Nan to ensure that she had something to eat when she woke up.

“Happy Lunar New Year, Regiment Commander Zhai.” Zhou Jun was the first person that Zhai Sheng saw when he reached the camp.

Zhai Sheng entered his office, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat hanger. “It’s so early and you’re already looking for me. Is there any matter?”

“You’re in such a good mood, Regiment Commander Zhai. Is it because we’re going to have a Mrs. Regiment Commander soon?” Zhou Jun asked in a happy tone. Zhou Jun had found someone he liked. He could not wait for all his brothers in the camp to find a marriage partner whom they could get along with. He had the same wish for his senior supervisor, Zhai Sheng, too.

“If there’s a regiment commander, of course there’ll be a Mrs. Regiment Commander,” Zhai Sheng said as if he were implying something. “Talk about serious matters. Why did you look for me?”

“Regiment commander, I’d like to request you to pick a day of leave for me.” During the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jun had wanted to visit Nan Nan. Regrettably, something happened at home and he had to spend a total of ten days traveling. After he settled his household matter, Zhou Jun did not have any spare time to visit Qiao Nan.

Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. “Do you think I can approve this request?”

“Just half a day. I’ll be back as soon as possible. Will that do?” Zhou Jun, a 1.8-meter tall man, was acting pitiful in front of Zhai Sheng. It would really be pitiful of Zhou Jun if he could not settle the matter regarding his wife-to-be given that his age was already in the late twenties.

“No.” Zhai Sheng rejected. He had never gained any private benefit under the guise of serving the public, so why would he allow Zhou Jun to do so? “Right, I’m handing you a mission. Investigate this matter.”

“There’s a mission so soon? What is it?” At the mention of a mission, Zhou Jun’s att.i.tude turned serious.
