257: Chapter 192 Pre-marital Fear_2 257: Chapter 192 Pre-marital Fear_2 Chuxia had applied for leave this time, only Director Xu and Song Xiaoyu knew that she was getting married, while the official answer given to others was that Lin Chuxia had been temporarily transferred to the cultural troupe for a few days. In the more than two months since she arrived at the 401, Regimental Command Wang from the cultural troupe never gave up, even coming in person to see Director Xu, so many people in the hospital were aware that the cultural troupe was interested in Chuxia. Of course, there were those who spoke sourly about it, but Chuxia’s social circle was extremely simple. Beyond staying by Song Xiaoyu’s side, she was only with Luo Xiaoqiong and others, so no one really had the chance to confront her and upset her. This time, when she applied for marriage leave, she specifically sought help from Regimental Command Wang, who, out of favor for her, really just agreed outright. Song Xiaoyu said she appreciated her for one reason, if it had been any other girl, with such an opportunity, probably the first reaction would be to boast to her close friends, who would think like her, first considering how not to affect her studies. Having worked in the hospital for so many years, and having mentored many doctors and nurses, Song Xiaoyu was all too aware of the jealousy among the girls. She couldn’t always protect her every moment, so the most prudent method was to initially hide her talents, and then when she truly had the capabilities, the jealous slander would have no place to stand. “Thank you, teacher, for your understanding,” Chuxia sincerely bowed to Song Xiaoyu, “Being your student is really my good fortune.” “No...” Song Xiaoyu waved her hand, “If it weren’t for your mother-in-law and Xiaomi begging me, I wouldn’t have taken you as my disciple. To be honest, when I first saw you, I regretted agreeing to them.” But over this period of mentoring you, I am again very glad I agreed then, and I feel they sincerely had your best interests at heart. If you had stayed with Jing Zhe, even if you excelled in your learning, you would still inevitably face idle gossip. Lin Chuxia, you should understand my meaning, right?” “Teacher, I understand. Actually, when I was at home, my parents were always worried about me...” Chuxia smiled wryly as she spread her hands, “After all, my looks are too non-mainstream.” “Non-mainstream?” After pondering for a while, Song Xiaoyu burst out laughing, “That comparison is quite apt, both vivid and proud, not bad!” “Teacher, thank you!” Chuxia bowed deeply again, how could she not see that Song Xiaoyu had stayed back just to alleviate her pre-marriage anxieties. Her current expression fully revealed her nervousness about getting married, and Song Xiaoyu, who got along well with Lin Yanqiu, presumably also knew about Old Madam Zhou’s attitude towards her, so her intention in deliberately staying to talk with her today was naturally clear. She tactfully revealed that all of today’s arrangements were orchestrated by her mother-in-law and Zhou Mikang, also mentioning their deep consideration for her, naturally to make her understand that she was valued by the Zhou family, so there was nothing to fear about marrying into it. Her insistence that she dive back into her studies immediately after returning was also a veiled way of telling her not to fear that this marriage might cause her to lose anything, what she desired would remain unchanged! Or perhaps, as she said, becoming her disciple was indeed the most suitable choice! In that instant, the shadows buried in her heart completely disappeared. It was just marriage, wasn’t it? Something that was bound to happen sooner or later; what was there to fear? After bidding farewell to Song Xiaoyu and returning to the dormitory, Luo Xiaoqiong and Liu Meijun had already brought back her meal, while Qiao Ningyi was on a night shift and not there. “Chuxia, come eat before it gets cold,” Luo Xiaoqiong said while pushing the food container towards Chuxia. With a loud “Bang!” the container fell to the floor, ending up upside down... “What in the world are you flustered about?” Liu Meijun quickly grabbed a dustpan, swept the spilled food into it, and spread her hands in resignation towards Chuxia, “She’s been all absent-minded since she brought it back, I asked her what was wrong, and she said nothing.” Chuxia certainly knew why Luo Xiaoqiong was distracted. She wanted to get married and had always intended to tell Liu Meijun, but she had never found the right opportunity, so now she could not comfort Luo Xiaoqiong in front of Liu Meijun. “Eat less tonight, two portions might just be enough.” While speaking, Liu Meijun pushed her lunchbox towards the center. Luo Xiaoqiong returned to reality, also with an uncomfortable expression, “Or, I’ll go get another portion.” “No need.” Chuxia stopped her, “There isn’t much food left at this time. I still have some snacks, let’s just make do with that.” “Chuxia, I heard you were temporarily transferred to the cultural troupe?” Liu Meijun asked while eating. Luo Xiaoqiong’s chopsticks stalled, and she continued to eat, head down. “No, I’m getting married. That was just an excuse.” After hesitating, Chuxia decided to tell Liu Meijun about her marriage. Since knowing each other, the other had been very sincere towards her. So now, since the topic had come up, she did not want to hide it anymore. “Getting...married?” Liu Meijun looked at Chuxia incredulously, “You mean, you’re getting married? It’s you... getting married?” Chuxia nodded, “Yes, I’m getting married.” Liu Meijun then looked towards Luo Xiaoqiong, “Is your odd behavior today also because of this?” Luo Xiaoqiong nodded silently, not making a sound. For some reason, just thinking about Chuxia getting married made her want to cry... “Chuxia...” Liu Meijun hugged Chuxia, starting to shed tears, “No wonder you’ve been down lately; this, this makes me unhappy too.” “...” Chuxia did not know how to respond, so she remained silent, but her silence made Liu Meijun misunderstand even more, “Chuxia, you’re a soldier, be brave. If you really don’t want to, just call off the wedding!” “I can’t call it off anymore.” Chuxia could only say. “Can’t call it off, huh?” Thinking about the last time Chuxia’s father was ill, Liu Meijun immediately imagined the truth. Abiding by the principle of not wanting to rub salt into wounds, she quickly changed the subject, “When’s the wedding?” “The day after tomorrow.” “Chuxia, have a safe journey. I’ll be waiting for you to come back.” Liu Meijun abruptly ended the “sad” conversation. Having exchanged those words, Chuxia couldn’t elaborate further and merely responded, “Mhm, I’ll come back soon.” Meanwhile, Luo Xiaoqiong, who had been originally feeling depressed, listening to the two’s conversation tumble further into misunderstanding, suddenly began to feel amused...(To be continued.
