South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Especially after this incident, I think your name is known inside the Red Wall. You are probably going to be famous all over the country. I admire you for being able to resist temptation at this time."

"If you want, give up college and work for a year at most. You will have no problem getting promoted to deputy director. All places will be vying for you."

"Don't praise me anymore. I just can't stand being praised. I'll feel proud soon." Yuan Mu laughed.

"I didn't praise you, I was telling the truth."

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic. By the way, which hospital are we in now? Can I be discharged soon?" Yuan Mu waved his hand, not wanting to continue this topic.

"We are at the military district headquarters. You should stay in the hospital for two days to observe and make sure there are no sequelae." Zhou Xiaobai said quickly.

"It's okay. I know my body very well. I was suffocated after being hospitalized for a period of time last time. I don't want to live here anymore. Besides, school will start in a few days. I have to prepare."

Zhou Xiaobai had no choice but to nod. Besides, there was indeed nothing wrong with Yuan Mu's health. He had been checked when he first arrived at the hospital.

"Okay then. Remember to observe your injuries after you leave the hospital. If you feel any discomfort, such as dizziness, nausea, etc., remember to come to the hospital."

"Why do you act like a doctor?" Yuan Mu was speechless.

"What do you mean by similar? I am a doctor at the Military Region General Hospital, okay?" Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes.

Now it was Yuan Mu's turn to be surprised and he looked at Zhou Xiaobai.

"So, you are a doctor at the Military District Hospital? An active-duty soldier?"

"Of course, I am a real deputy battalion-level commander!" Zhou Xiaobai said with a slightly proud expression.

Yuan Mu was a little surprised at first, but then he was relieved. Maybe he was just very capable? At worst, his father was the head of the Kyoto Military Region. What was wrong with being a deputy battalion commander? Isn't that normal?

"Then I'm wondering, as an active-duty soldier, don't you usually participate in training?" Yuan Mu looked her up and down and said.

"Why not train? We have training every month."

"Then I see that you have been subdued by that Li Shoucheng, and your hands are tied." Yuan Mu curled his lips.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai immediately got angry and glared at Yuan Mu.

"Can you please not be so rude? I was careless at that time!"

"Oh, oh, oh, yes, I was careless." Yuan Mu shrugged.

"Yuan Mu!!" Zhou Xiaobai gritted his teeth in anger.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu quickly gave in, otherwise he would be beaten.

"Hey! Stop it, I was just joking, why don't you know how to be funny?"

"Hmph! It's unnecessary for me to come to see you!" With that, Zhou Xiaobai snorted coldly and turned away.

Yuan Mu shrugged and let her go, then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it.

Who would have thought that just as he took a puff, he felt a figure whizzing in front of him, snatching the cigarette from his mouth and throwing it on the ground and stomping it out.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"Don't you know that you are not allowed to smoke in the ward?" Zhou Xiaobai glared at Yuan Mu fiercely.

"Sister, at least I saved your life, right? Can't I even smoke a cigarette?" Yuan Mu was speechless.

"Who are you calling big sister?" Zhou Xiaobai immediately got furious.

"I'll call you. You must be older than me, right?"

"Come on! Tell me, what year were you born?"

"In 1954, how about you?"

Zhou Xiaobai was suddenly speechless. She was indeed older than Yuan Mu, three years older. She was born in 1951. She didn't say anything and turned away.

"Hey! You, you didn't even tell me how old you are!" Yuan Mu shouted at her back.

"Go smoke your cigarette!" After saying this, Zhou Xiaobai slammed the door shut with a bang.

Yuan Mu grinned. This woman is hard to understand. We were chatting just now. Why did she get so angry? He shook his head and lit another cigarette without thinking too much.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Three days later in the afternoon, Mr. Zhou sent a driver to take Yuan Mu home.

The military vehicle slowly drove into the military compound. Four soldiers with live ammunition stood at the door. The driver showed his ID before continuing to enter the compound.

Yuan Mu looked around and found that this place was really big and the environment was very good. From time to time, he could see old men and women taking a walk and children playing.

Soon, the car stopped at the door of Villa No. 1.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, we've arrived." The driver turned around and looked at Yuan Mu and said.

"Okay! Thank you very much." Yuan Mu nodded, then pushed open the car door and got out.

At this time, there was a young man in military uniform standing at the door. He had seen this man before. He was Mr. Zhou's bodyguard, Xiao Wu.

"Hello, Comrade Yuan Mu!" Xiao Wu stepped forward and saluted.

"Hello!" Yuan Mu also returned the greeting.

"Please come in, the commander is waiting for you."

"it is good!"

As he stepped into the interior, Yuan Mu discovered that Villa No. 1 was indeed quite large. There was a large yard right at the entrance, filled with flowers and plants, as well as rockery. The air was also very fresh, which seemed to have a lot to do with the green plants in the yard.

"Yuan Mu!" At this time, a voice came. He looked up and saw a woman waving at him at the door of the main room. It was Zhou Xiaobai.

"Oh, Sister Zhou, nice to see you again." Yuan Mu also walked forward to greet her with a smile.

Zhou Xiaobai, who had been in a good mood, suddenly became unhappy when she heard Yuan Mu's address. Although she was indeed older than Yuan Mu, she felt uncomfortable when she heard Yuan Mu calling her sister.

"You don't have to call me sister, just call me by my name."

"Isn't that rude?"

"What's so rude about that?"

"Okay then, Zhou Xiaobai." Yuan Mu had no choice but to go along with her.

"No, I asked me to call you by your first name but you included your last name as well!" Zhou Xiaobai looked incredulous. She felt that Yuan Mu was a blockhead.

"Didn't you ask me to call you by your name?" Yuan Mu was speechless.

"Just call me Xiaobai!"

"Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that! Just scream when I tell you to!" Zhou Xiaobai glared at Yuan Mu fiercely.

"Okay, Xiaobai." Yuan Mu felt really strange. Why did he get angry after just a few words?

In fact, we can’t blame Yuan Mu for speaking bluntly, but he is rather dull when it comes to relationships, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten married so late in his previous life, and he wouldn’t still have a girlfriend in this life.

On the one hand, it was him who chose, and on the other hand, it was because he was not very familiar with this aspect. Most importantly, he had never thought about Zhou Xiaobai in that way. What was her identity and what was his own?

If he really thinks that he can climb up the social ladder by saving the other person's life, then he is too ignorant. Yuan Mu is satisfied to be friends with the other person.
