Qi Taiguo, who Mother Qi had been nagging about, sneezed three times. Some bold and fearless soldiers chuckled and said, "Commander Qi, didn't your wife cover you with a blanket last night? You've gotten cold!"
"Scram, you brats, getting gutsy, huh? Daring to tease your superior, give me a hundred push-ups." Qi Taiguo pretended to frown and, out of the corner of his eye, saw Chen Shouwang walking away with a cold face. He waved his hand and walked over.
Chen Shouwang nodded at him, sitting cross-legged on the training ground watching the soldiers exercise without a word.
Qi Taiguo sat beside him and asked, "Hualing has gone back to her parents these days?"
Chen Shouwang's face stiffened, and he hummed a response.
Qi Taiguo glanced at him. "Fought again?"
Chen Shouwang revealed a bitter smile. "Can't hide anything from you!"
"We all live in the same building, right next door, who wouldn't know when you argue so fiercely?"
