Chapter 60: Sharing a Train

“She can’t come along—she’s going to university.”

Qin Wenhuo’s words made Instructor Xie’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Your wife is going to university? That’s incredible! I heard there were a ton of people taking the college entrance exam this year—it’s like thousands crossing a single-log bridge. For her to make it through, that’s seriously impressive.”

Instructor Xie was genuinely full of admiration.

There were several kids from their military family compound who’d taken the exam too, but unfortunately, not a single one got in.

“So, which university did she get into?”

“Beijing University.”

Qin Wenhuo didn’t hide it.

When Instructor Xie heard “Beijing University,” he was stunned for a couple of seconds, then gave a big thumbs up. “That’s amazing.”

He immediately grinned with delight. “Who says military wives can’t come along? Isn’t your regiment about to be transferred to Beijing? That’s so close! Your wife can come home to the family compound on her breaks.”

“Oh right, after all this talk, what’s your wife’s name?”

Qin Wenhuo glanced at him, then said three words: “Fu Mingxue.”

“Fu Mingxue? That’s a nice name, but why does it sound so familiar?” Instructor Xie looked puzzled.

Qin Wenhuo: …?

“You really need to eat more brain food.”

With that, he strode off.

“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I’m slow?”

Wait a minute—

“Fu Mingxue? Wasn’t the person involved in Song Yan’s case just now also Fu Mingxue?”

Oh my god, the woman Song Yan’s ex-wife tried to mess with was actually Qin Wenhuo’s wife?

——

Meanwhile, Song Yan returned to the dormitory with a dark expression.

Bai Siqi saw his gloomy face and felt a pang of dread in her heart.

“—Did you get disciplined?”

The anger Song Yan had been holding in burst out all at once.

“Is your brother Bai Chunsheng an idiot? Why did he have to rat me out?”

Bai Siqi was startled by the red-eyed, furious man. “W-what are you talking about? What did my brother do?”

“Your idiot brother sold me out! He told them I was the one who came up with the whole plan. Now I’m being sent back to the local area.” Song Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared.

Bai Siqi was shocked.

What—Song Yan was leaving the army?

That couldn’t happen.

If he left the army, how would he ever get promoted?

“Didn’t you plead with your superiors?”

This time, Song Yan ignored her.

He was burning with rage.

He quickly packed up his personal belongings.

Two hours later, the two of them left the base and headed for the train station—

Originally, Bai Siqi had wanted to find Qin Wenhuo at the base, but there was no way she could just wander around that place.

Not to mention, there were guards posted outside.

What she didn’t expect was that they actually ran into him at the train station. “Song Yan, look! Isn’t that Qin Wenhuo?”

Song Yan instinctively looked up when she called out, and sure enough, the man boarding the train was Regiment Commander Qin.

“Let’s hurry over and talk to him,” Bai Siqi said anxiously.

But Song Yan didn’t move. “Let’s get on the train first—it’s about to depart. We can find him once we’re onboard.”

They had tickets for a regular carriage, while Qin Wenhuo was entering the sleeper carriage.

Bai Siqi had no choice but to follow Song Yan’s lead.

After boarding, they found their seats.

Bai Siqi urged him, “Go find Qin Wenhuo, quick!”

“You stay here and watch our stuff,” Song Yan said. For some reason, he didn’t want Bai Siqi tagging along to find Regiment Commander Qin.

Bai Siqi: …?

But there was nothing she could do—Song Yan just wouldn’t let her come.

“Fine.”

Worst case, she’d wait until Song Yan came back, then go look for Qin Wenhuo herself."
