Ruan Mian received another call from Lu Yang half a month later. Lu Yang was so tired that he cried and complained pitifully on the phone.
“Tutu, the Blue Wolf Unit is not a place for people to stay. Every day, there is nothing but training. We get up in the morning to run exercises, have surprise inspections at noon, and have to go to the forest to survive in the middle of the night. We have to learn about guns, close combat, strategies, mechas… There is nothing that we don’t learn. I cried and shouted every day that I didn’t want to be a soldier, and was just going through the motions, but no one listened to me.”
Ruan Mian held the phone and became anxious, “What can be done?”
Lu Yang’s voice was extremely miserable, “Tutu, I haven’t eaten yet, just because I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep and missed the meal. When I went to the cafeteria, there was not even a drop of soup left for me.”
“How can that be! Our Baby Lu is still growing up, and he must eat well.”
Ruan Mian was very upset. What couldn’t be lacking was education; what couldn’t be tolerated was making a child suffer! How could they not even allow him to have a full meal?
Lu Yang said miserably: “Tutu, will I not grow taller? I heard that if you don’t get enough nutrition while growing up, you won’t grow taller!”
Ruan Mian thought about Lu Yang’s current height of 1.82 meters and felt that even if he didn’t grow taller now, it seemed that his height was enough, but being tall enough was one thing, and not being able to grow because of a lack of nutrition was another!
No matter what, you have to eat enough!
Ruan Mian stood up all of a sudden and said angrily and anxiously: “I’ll go get you food!”
Although Lu Yang was so hungry that he was seeing stars, he still had some rationality. He said worriedly: “Tutu, I want to see you too, but how could you get in? It’s hard to get into the Blue Wolf Unit. This time, there are heavy security and strict guards. Maybe even when a fly wants to get in, they have to search its whole body. You can’t get in like before.”
Ruan Mian lowered his head and thought about it. Since there was no way to get in, he would go in openly. He pursed his lips and said: “I’ll go directly to Grandpa and tell him that I want to see you.”
“Will Grandpa agree? Try to act like a spoiled child with him. He likes you the most… Hey… Captain Song, don’t grab my phone… I haven’t finished yet…” Lu Yang’s voice became farther and farther away, and the phone was taken away from him.
He had limited time to call, and the time was up. The reason why he could call today was because he had completed a difficult task recently, so Captain Song gave him a reward.
However, the reward time was very short—only three minutes. After three minutes, Captain Song snatched the phone away, ignored his struggle, and directly hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ruan Mian remembered the sound of Lu Yang crying because of exhaustion. After hanging up the phone, he clenched his fists with courage and went downstairs to find Grandpa Lu.
Ning Mixiang and Grandpa Lu were busy downstairs, one was playing chess with himself, and the other was arranging flowers by the window.
Ning Mixiang waved to Ruan Mian when she saw him, and said with a smile: “Mian Mian, come quickly, I just made soup, it should be ready soon. You sit here and wait for a while, and I will serve it to you.”
“No need, Auntie.” Ruan Mian trotted downstairs and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
The soup was stewing in the pot, and Aunt Li was standing by. The taste of the soup was faintly floating in the air. It smelled fresh and delicious, just right for replenishing the body. Lu Yang would have liked it.
Ruan Mian retracted his gaze and couldn’t help but said, “Auntie, can I leave the soup for Baby Lu to drink?”
“Of course, but he’s not at home. When he comes back, the soup will have gone bad.” Ning Mixiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked with a smile, “Mian Mian, do you want to see Baby Lu again?”
“Yes, Auntie, I want to see him.” Ruan Mian nodded gently, glanced at Grandpa Lu, and said pitifully, “Baby Lu just called and said he had no food to eat and was so hungry that he became thin. He was worried that it would affect his growth. I’m also worried that his growth would be stunted, so I wanted to see him and bring him some food…”
He added fuel to the fire by constantly turning to Grandpa Lu with hopeful glances. His eyes were shining so brightly that it seemed like tears would start rolling down if Grandpa Lu refused.
Grandpa Lu glanced at Ruan Mian, then retracted his gaze, frowned, and stared at the chess game in front of him.
Ning Mixiang frowned. She couldn’t help but worry when she heard that Lu Yang couldn’t even eat enough. She said with some conflict: “But the Blue Wolf Unit is far away from here. It takes five or six hours to drive there. I’m worried about you going alone. I have to go abroad for something later, so I can’t go with you.”
Grandpa Lu put down a chess piece, coughed without raising his head, and said calmly: “I have something to do in the Blue Wolf Unit today, Mian Mian, you can go with me.”
“That’s great! Grandpa, thank you!” Ruan Mian couldn’t help but cheer and thanked him with curved eyebrows.
Since Grandpa Lu was willing to take him there, he tacitly agreed to let him visit Lu Yang. It seems that Grandpa Lu has softened his heart and is a little worried about Lu Yang, so he wants to go to the Blue Wolf Unit together to take a look.
Ning Mixiang couldn’t help but smile when she heard what Grandpa Lu said. She didn’t reveal that Grandpa Lu was supposed to be on leave today and didn’t have to go to the army. Grandpa Lu was worried about him ever since Lu Yang went to the Blue Wolf Unit. He called Captain Song several times to inquire about the situation. Now that he heard that he couldn’t eat enough, he must be anxious.
Aunt Li came out with three bowls of soup and wanted to put them on the table.
Ruan Mian hurriedly said, “Aunt Li, please put my share in the insulated lunch box for me. I want to take it to Baby Lu.”
Grandpa Lu looked at the soup bowl, pursed his lips, waved his hand awkwardly, and said, “My soup… also prepare it for Baby Lu.”
Aunt Li looked up; her expression was troubled as she glanced at Ning Mixiang. Ning Mixiang shook her head helplessly, then picked up the bowl of soup and handed one to Grandpa Lu and the other to Ruan Mian.
“I’ve made a lot of soup, enough for Baby Lu. You can drink it without worry. Finish the soup before leaving.”
Under the coercion of Ning Mixiang’s eyes, Grandpa Lu and Ruan Mian had to pick up the spoon and drink the soup clean.
After Ruan Mian quickly finished the soup, he immediately returned to the room impatiently, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, packing all kinds of delicious food. If possible, he wanted to send all the delicious food.
Ning Mixiang sent someone to buy some cakes that Lu Yang liked to eat and brought them over.
Ruan Mian followed Grandpa Lu into the car with big and small bags. Grandpa Lu looked at his happy appearance and felt that he might really be the evil man who broke up the newly engaged couple. He couldn’t help but feel guilty and doubt whether he had done the right thing.
Ruan Mian and Grandpa Lu took the car and arrived at the Blue Wolf Unit six hours later. The Blue Wolf Unit was indeed very strict and controlled at every level. Even if Grandpa Lu wanted to enter, he had to go through inspection and verification.
Ruan Mian was lying against the car window in amazement, looking at the soldiers outside. These soldiers had serious faces and looked very strong. Ruan Mian was a little nervous. As an Omega rabbit, he was scared just by looking at these top Alphas.
Grandpa Lu noticed his nervousness and touched his head lovingly, “Mian Mian, don’t be afraid, Grandpa is here.”
Ruan Mian nodded and calmed down a little, but his two little hands were still tightly holding the seat belt in his hands.
Grandpa Lu thought for a while and added, “Baby Lu is here too.”
Ruan Mian’s little hands loosened instantly, his eyes curved into two crescents, the tension disappeared, and only expectation remained.
Grandpa Lu: “…”
Grandpa Lu didn’t want to admit that, as a Marshal, he was less effective at comforting the rabbit than his own grandson. He also preferred not to question why his grandson could only manage a three-minute phone call and chose to call his future grandson-in-law.
The old man was fragile and couldn’t stand the blow.
The car drove slowly in. Captain Song received the news in advance and was waiting in front of the door. When he saw Grandpa Lu, he came to greet him, opened the door himself, and respectfully helped Grandpa Lu down.
Ruan Mian had never had a chance to take a good look at Captain Song before. Now he found that he had a square face and a wide nose. His face looked like a soldier’s determination, a man’s bravery, and a bit of gentleness and charity. He looked like a good person.
The two said a few words, and Captain Song looked at Ruan Mian, smiled and said, “Are you the young wife of Baby Lu?”
He was a soldier, stayed in the barracks for a long time, and spoke even rougher than Grandpa Lu, a Marshal.
Ruan Mian’s cheeks turned red. He wanted to refute but had no rebuttal, so he had to call out obediently: “Uncle Song.”
Captain Song laughed heartily, pointing at him and Grandfather Lu, and said: “Last time, I was fooled by the two little guys. I wondered why that stinky boy Lu Yang was so nervous about a rabbit. It turned out that the rabbit was his wife.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle Song. I just wanted to meet him. I’m sorry to trouble you.” Ruan Mian bowed his head and admitted his mistake. He was in a hurry last time, and it was indeed his fault.
Captain Song waved his hand and said nonchalantly: “I understand, young people are full of passion and vigor. I get it.”
Ruan Mian looked at Captain Song with both eyes and blinked gently. He couldn’t help but feel that Captain Song’s words always sounded a bit strange when they came out of his mouth.
Grandpa Lu patted Captain Song on the shoulder and said with a smile: “Stop teasing Xiao Mian. Where’s Baby Lu? Take us to see him. He has been causing you a lot of trouble recently, right?”
“Marshal, it’s no trouble. I’ve watched him grow up, and I can certainly handle him,” Captain Song said with a smile, leading the way. “They’re at the training ground now. This session is a combat match. That rascal Lu Yang is still as unruly as ever in the Blue Wolf Unit, daring and arrogant as ever. The elite soldiers in the Blue Wolf Unit won’t easily accept him, and many of them dislike him. He’ll probably have a hard time this session. You might as well go and have a look.”
Ruan Mian couldn’t help but feel a little worried and quickly quickened his pace.
His Baby Lu must be the most pitiful baby in the world. Not only will he be hungry, but he may also be beaten!
Captain Song looked at Ruan Mian’s anxious look and smiled to comfort him: “Don’t worry, although some people don’t like him, there are also many people who defend him. He is a little tyrant wherever he goes, and there are a group of people willing to follow him. He is a natural leader, suitable for leading troops to fight. It’s right for him to become an alpha.”
Grandpa Lu pursed his lips thoughtfully and said nothing.
Ruan Mian thought about Lu Yang crying on the phone and couldn’t help but glance at Captain Song. Uncle Song, it turns out the one who’s suffering is not your baby!
The hardships experienced by the baby’s body are felt through Tutu’s heart!
