CH 24.1

Song Bei smoothly turned up from the staircase, his good subordinate that was not reliable at all had started to act up again.

Guo Chao Ming leaned carelessly and sorrowfully against the hospital room with a cigarette in his mouth while looking at the ceiling, his eyes were empty, and his expression was dull.

Song Bei went to stand there, then lifted his head to look…

A very white wall, with nothing there. Song Bei was rarely able to see Guo Chao Ming’s sorrowful appearance, so he immediately got excited, then asked enthusiastically: “Are you thinking about wifey?”

Guo Chao Ming: “…” Scram!

“Cough, cough, what sad matter did you encounter?” Tell me fast, let me have some fun ah.

Guo Chao Ming crossed his arms across his chest, and with a hard-to-read expression, he opened his mouth and used the miserable tone of someone who had lost the entire world: “He died.”

“Who died?” Song Bei was scared stiff.

“Old Qin.”

Song Bei: “Go save him fast.”

“I’ve serious business.”

Song Bei looked at the Guo Chao Ming whose whole body from top to bottom was written with ‘nothing to do’, “?”

Guo Chao Ming’s lazy tone was very strengthless, and he had an appearance of someone who had been thoroughly damaged emotionally: “I’m mourning my lost youth and my once warm and sincere good friend.”

“He has changed; he has already died in my heart.”

Song Bei: “…” He’s starting to act crazy again.

Song Bei smiled without smiling, revealing a hair-standing warm smile.

He intimately held his subordinate’s hand, then sincerely and seriously warned: “Whether he has died in your heart or not, I don’t understand. But I know, if you keep being crazy, you’ll lose the colonel that’s as warm as a spring breeze.”

“Then, you’ll get a good colonel that’s cold and heartless like the autumn wind that sweeps the fallen leaves.”

Guo Chao Ming: “…”

To avoid becoming the fallen leaves being swept away, he had to promptly put down his mourning.

Song Bei did not care about Guo Chao Ming’s lost hot-blooded youth, This rascal wears the combat uniform while looking up and walking on the hallway, Song Bei was afraid of losing dignity.

It isn’t Guo Chao Ming losing his dignity, Guo Chao Ming will only lose my, Song Bei’s, dignity!

The people walking back and forth here, they’re all comrades from the same system.

For soldiers that have been brought out by me, Song Bei, to have this wretched appearance… whether Guo Chao Ming loses his dignity isn’t important, Song Bei still very much treasured his old dignity.

Losing it, should also have the value of losing it. Comrade Guo Chao Ming’s youth is too cheap, Colonel Song: You must pay more!

“And the cat?”

The cat that had slept for twenty hours beside the pillow, and had left two hours to eat, two hours to play crazily and make a mess was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh, I sent her to call the doctor.”

Song Bei: You really have done it!

Currently, Guo Chao Ming was in the lowest level of the ward’s small group.

Song Bei was the superior, Qin Xiao was a patient, so the work of running back and forth to do errands had fallen on him.

Therefore, Colonel Song ordered Guo Chao Ming, comrade Guo threatened the cat, and he smoothly rose to second last.

Having a small errand boy that could be ordered, the feeling was pleasant.

Song Bei: “Are you already so deranged that you even harm a cat and do not let it off?”

Qin Xiao glanced at the sad Guo Chao Ming, then, in a rarely seen occurrence, sneered.

It was the first time Song Bei saw this kind of Qin Xiao: “You two, what happened?”

Guo Chao Ming played with the cigarette, smacking his mouth, but since he was still mindful of Qin Xiao who was a patient, he did not dare to smoke it.

He put it back into the cigarette case, then laughingly said: “Nothing much.”

“Colonel, let me ask you something.” Guo Chao Ming caressed his chin, he was actually very curious about what Song Bei’s answer would be: “Between a trashy cat and a human who can work, which one will you choose?”

The mentioned cat and human, he did not even need to think about it to know who they were, so Song Bei pondered about the kidnapping case. Then he revealed a look that was not very attentive and a bit shocked: “What do you think? Human?”

This look was one hundred percent lifelike, as if it was saying: Is there a need to ask this, have I not made it obvious enough? You actually had to ask me!

Guo Chao Ming: “…” I thought that you would at least say, how could a cat compare to you.

Even just saying it would’ve been fine.

Sure enough, this old bastard is intentionally following the cat’s lead to falsely accuse me, target me.

Guo Chao Ming: Humans can’t compete against cats, the best way to solve this is— —make the cat become mine!

The doctor’s office was on the second floor too, it was at the end of the west side.

The door of the office was open; Bai Xia Xia’s paws grabbed the door frame, then she poked a small half of her furry head inside.

Looking left and right, there was a young female doctor that was sitting by the side of the window. Bai Xia Xia had to look for Hu Qin, she was the director of the department of trauma, was around forty years old, had short hair that looked nimble, and her personality was energetic.

Director Hu was not there, so the cat scuttled up to the top of Doctor Hu’s office desk, coiled up its tail, held its small paws, and closed its eyes to rest.

She had already come here once, Director Hu was very busy, so she would have to wait for a while.

At this point in time, there was wave after wave of laid-off workers; after losing their iron rice bowls[1], they were like headless flies that collided everywhere, busy looking for jobs to earn money.

Instead, doctors and nurses became even busier, they were like Li Ai Guo the whole day until evening, working overtime, overtime, overtime!

After waiting not for long, Bai Xia Xia’s ears trembled, she heard some sound of footsteps approaching: “Eh, Director Hu, that cat came to call you again.”
