Chapter 134: Chapter 134: His Lies Are Well-Intentioned _1
As soon as she arrived at the post office, she saw it just opened. She took out the note with the phone number on it, walked in, spoke to the attendant, picked up the phone and started to dial.
The phone finally got through after ringing several times before someone on the other side picked up.
“Hello, may I ask if this is the XX regiment?”
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other side, “Yes, may I know who is calling?”
“Is this Commissar Gu? I am Meng Yunhan, Yun Hao’s wife. Is Yun Hao at the unit? Could you please help me get ahold of him?”
Commissar Gu on the other side never expected Meng Yunhan to call directly to ask about this.
It only had been a few days since her baby was a month old, correct?
What was he to say in response?
Should he tell her, Xiaoyun is on a mission?
Or should he tell her the truth, that Xiaoyun had an accident?
He has been in a coma for over a month. If he continues in this state, it is very likely he will become what the West calls a “vegetative person”.
Meng Yunhan noticed that should hear nothing from Commissar Gu for a long time; the last thread of her heart broke, “Commissar, did something happen to Yun Hao? Is he injured?”
Through the receiver, Commissar Gu clearly heard the worry in her voice, faintly interspersed with barely suppressed tears.
Commissar Gu hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t tell Meng Yunhan the truth. Instead, he gently lied, “No, no, he just went on a mission and hasn’t come back yet. This time the mission is a bit heavy, so it’s taking some time. Once he is back, I will notify you immediately.”
After saying this, he added in his heart: This is a well-intentioned lie.
Disconnecting the call, Meng Yunhan was distracted.
“How much does it cost?”
Meng Yunhan paid the fee feeling pretty down, then slowly walked out of the post office. As soon as she stepped outside and saw the sun, she hurried home.
She was afraid that Little Huzi had been exposed to the sun.
He was so small; he couldn’t handle intense sunlight.
At the Magic City regiment, Commissar Gu stayed in his office for a while before finally leaving.
“Commander, can you guess who just called me in my office?”
Commander Tang raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, “Xiaoyun’s wife, am I right?”
Commissar Gu was taken aback, blurting out, “Commander, how did you know?”
“Xiaoyun hasn’t written home in almost half a year.”
Commissar Gu sighed deeply. “This Xiaoyun has been lying on a hospital bed for so long. Why hasn’t he woken up yet? He showed signs of waking on the day his wife gave birth, right? If it weren’t for that, we didn’t even know how to perform the surgery.”
He paused, then added, “How quickly a month goes by, but Xiaoyun still hasn’t woken up. His son is already a month old.”
“Xiaoyun’s son, he must look like him – always a straight face.” Commissar Gu said, his voice becoming choked up as he spoke.
Commander Tang looked away, finding it hard to accept the situation.
They all had experienced the battlefield and had been injured, but to lie motionless in a hospital bed without a sign of recovery like Yun Hao – they had never experienced this before.
“You don’t think Xiaoyun will really become a so-called vegetative person, do you?”
Commander Tang didn’t know how to answer this question because frankly, he didn’t know either.
“I told his wife that Xiaoyun was on a mission. I said the mission was somewhat heavy, which is why it was taking him so long. I don’t know if she will believe what I said.”
Commander Tang gazed off into the distance, “For the sake of their child, she must believe what you said.”
Even though he hadn’t interacted much with Xiaoyun’s wife, he considered his judgment of her character to be quite accurate.
The two men look at each other, not knowing what else to say.
