Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Isn’t She Your Fiancée?

“The day I picked you up, I left contact information with that girl’s family, but it’s been a while with no news. I don’t know what their situation is; it seems you’ll have to find a suitable time to contact them,”

Tang Zelin’s eyes flickered slightly; he knew who Chen Cheng was talking about.

After he woke up, he had asked Chen Cheng about Su Shu, and Chen Cheng said that her family had picked her up and had even used a private plane, indicative of an extraordinary background.

Tang Zelin wasn’t concerned about these details, only asking about her condition.

Chen Cheng said her life was not in danger, so he felt relieved.

For the past two days, for some reason, Su Shu’s slightly pale face kept haunting him.

“I don’t have her contact information,” Tang Zelin said.

At this, Chen Cheng was stunned, “Isn’t she your fiancée?”

Tang Zelin couldn’t help but laugh hopelessly, “Did that rumor reach your ears too?”

Chen Cheng thought to himself, not only did I know, but I also accidentally, casually, inadvertently passed it on to the senior colonel, causing all this fuss.

Seeing his strange expression, Tang Zelin raised his eyebrows slightly, “Told my old man?”

Chen Cheng nodded, not denying it.

Tang Zelin sighed deeply, this was going to be tough from now on.

“It’s fake, doesn’t count, just to save someone.”

With just that simple sentence, Chen Cheng could no longer misunderstand and apologetically said, “That was reckless of me.”

“It’s fine,” Tang Zelin didn’t mind.

Not to mention Chen Cheng, even the people around in Peng Mountain believed that girl’s nonsense; she was really something…

…something that he couldn’t quite put into words at the moment.

They had only been chatting in the hospital room for a short while when the nurse from Yuan Xiao’s room came looking for him. Seeing Yuan Xiao, who was still chatting spiritedly despite his head injury, the nurse’s face darkened as if it were the bottom of a pot.

Yuan Xiao, hassled by the nurse, said to Tang Zelin and Chen Cheng, “I’ll go back for my injection first, you guys keep talking. Boss, I’ll come find you tonight.”

“What do you mean find, if you’re a patient, you should rest properly in bed, no wandering around!” the nurse scolded.

“Hey, young girl, why are you so fierce with your words? I am going to get an injection.”

“If you’re sick, you need to cooperate with the medical staff to recover quickly. Once you’re better, anytime is a good time to chat.”

“Right, right, right, sister, you’re absolutely right!”

“Who is your sister!”

“…”

As the two bickered, they left together.

Yuan Xiao followed the nurse back to his room speechlessly, leaving only Chen Cheng and the recovering Tang Zelin in the hospital room.

Tang Zelin asked, “How is the situation in Peng Mountain Region?”

“The disaster is still under control, but the losses are substantial. It came too suddenly, local disaster preparation was insufficient, and being a mountainous region, Peng Mountain makes things more complicated,”

“Did we provide reinforcements there?”

“Part of it, from neighboring provinces, all brother units.”

“The situation there seems to be more severe than anticipated. There are fractures in the Peng Mountain Mountain Range, not a good sign.”

“Senior officials are also discussing these issues. Currently, not only Province E but various parts of the country are experiencing emergencies. The situation seems worse than in previous years; not sure if the weather is changing or what.”

Tang Zelin nodded slightly, “Didn’t expect it to be critical like this.”

He referred to his own health.

Chen Cheng laughed, “With your condition, still thinking so much, you better focus on recovering. Once you’re healed, there will be plenty of opportunities for you, Senior Colonel Tang, to exert your strength.”

“True,” Tang Zelin chuckled.

Chen Cheng stayed at the hospital for a while longer but didn’t stay long and returned to the military base.

Tang Zelin was left alone in the hospital room, watching TV.

The news was either about the earthquake disaster in Province E or the floods and droughts in the southern provinces. Watching this, he frowned slightly.

This year, the national situation is indeed a bit dire, with so many disasters. As the main force in rescue, the military has a tough time ahead.
