“Mistake? How could there be a mistake? The army will definitely not be wrong. As for what exactly happened, I am not too sure. I will ask Zhai Sheng about it once he is finished with his work, or I will get him to return your call.” Miao Jing seemed to be in an extremely good mood. There was a sense of excitement in her tone.

Qiao Nan did not think too much of it. She had thought that Miao Jing was in a good mood as Zhai Sheng had returned safely from his mission. “Oh, okay, Auntie Miao, I will not disturb you. Goodbye.”

“What’s wrong? You didn’t manage to get an answer?” s.h.i.+ Qing sat next to Qiao Nan, listening to the phone call without any reservation. “Isn’t Brother Zhai back? Why is it Auntie Miao who answered the phone?”

“I am not too sure. Maybe because Brother Zhai is back, so Auntie Miao went to the army to see him.” Qiao Nan frowned and put down the phone. “Forget it. I will wait for his call.”

“Alright, stop being so gloomy. If Uncle Qiao comes back and sees you like this, he will be worried.” s.h.i.+ Qing reminded her. “Now that you know that Brother Zhai is back safely, you can set your heart at rest. Don’t be so melancholic and absent-minded like before.”

“You are right. I am getting confused.” Qiao Nan took a deep breath and rubbed her face.

She had told herself more than once that the most important thing for her right now was to do well in her exams and take charge of her own future. However, she seemed to deviate from her goals. True enough, it was not good to start a relations.h.i.+p while she was still studying.

While Qiao Nan was focused on her studies, something happened over at Zhai Sheng’s side.

After completing the mission, Zhai Sheng had wanted to find a quiet place to make a phone call to Qiao Nan. If possible, he would like to go back to Ping Cheng to see Qiao Nan.

He had only returned to the camp and his mother turned up right then. She was exhilarated that he completed his mission and returned safely to the camp, and so she asked her chauffeur to send her to the camp.

“Zhai Sheng, have you changed your clothes?” Miao Jing kept urging Zhai Sheng to change his clothes.

Zhai Sheng looked unhappy at the formal clothing he wore. “Mom, you should know that I don’t like to wear this kind of clothing. I feel uncomfortable.”

“But today is my birthday. Surely, you will do that for me and accompany me to have a meal?” It was Miao Jing’s turn to be unhappy. Miao Jing wore a cheongsam with a distinct Chinese design. Her long hair was styled into a bun at the back of her head. She looked very elegant and sophisticated.

“I don’t mind having a meal with you on your birthday, but why do I have to wear this set of clothes? I am a soldier. Wearing a military uniform is the greatest respect for you.” There was a glitter in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. “Mom, why do I sense that you are not behaving like yourself today?”

“Not behaving like myself? I don’t think so. You think too much. Alright, since you have changed your clothes, let’s get to Ping Cheng Hotel to have our meal. I have already ordered a cake.” Miao Jing had finally coaxed her son to put on the formal clothing. She did not want to waste this good opportunity.

Miao Jing knew that Zhai Sheng only had military uniforms and camouflaged suits in the army. He did not have any casual clothing, let alone formal clothes.

Therefore, Miao Jing came prepared. She brought a set of formal clothing that was Zhai Sheng’s size to the army.

“Wait a minute.” Zhai Sheng opened the door to his room quickly, went in, and closed it shut.
