The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 2] Chapter 31.2: True Love In Period Literature (13)

Xiao Han said as she helped Mother Lin cut potatoes into shreds. What she said was true. These days, Lin Hua was meditating and enjoying the cool breeze on the balcony of his room at night, and he went to bed very late. Father and Mother Lin didn’t know, but she was paying attention to him.

“Most importantly, Big Brother is often on important missions in the army. What if he gets emotionally affected by this and something goes wrong?”

“Pah, pah, don’t say such unlucky things.” Mother Lin felt a little uneasy when she heard it and glared at her daughter.

Xiao Han finished shredding the potatoes and said calmly, “Why don’t we let Big Brother take a break for a while and go somewhere else to relax.”

Mother Lin didn’t say anything, but she heard what was said and was worried. She came to her senses and took a look at the shredded potatoes in the bowl. Her daughter’s knife skills were pretty good.

Mother Lin turned around and asked Lin Hua if he wanted to take a vacation. “Even if you don’t stay in the capital, you can go somewhere else to relax.”

Given Lin Hua’s workaholic personality, she naturally refused, but Mother Lin was even more worried and felt that what her daughter said made sense.

When Lin Hua returned to the army, he saw that his mother had packed his younger sister’s luggage. She smiled kindly and said, “Let Yunyun go with you. I’ve already asked for leave from school for her.”

“You’ve been in the army for so many years, and we’ve been so busy with work that we haven’t been able to visit you much. Now let Yunyun go and see you.”

Mother Lin was still worried, afraid her son would bottle up all his unhappiness. He was far away, alone, and facing who knew how many dangerous missions he would have to undertake. If he became emotionally unstable, they wouldn’t know. So she decided to have Lin Yun stay with him for a few days. If anything happened, she could tell them when she returned. Not only had her daughter’s grades improved, but she had also become much more alert.

Of course, it was also because Xiao Han had behaved well and was sensible during this period that Mother Lin was willing to let her go with her for a few days without affecting her studies.

Lin Hua frowned and said seriously, “My place is not a good place to stay, and I don’t have time to take care of Yunyun.”

Mother Lin immediately retorted, “It’s okay, just let Yunyun suffer for a few days. A child of her age can’t be spoiled every day.”

In the end, Lin Hua agreed, but because Xiao Han mentioned his promise, “Brother, you mentioned the reward. It should be okay for me to stay at your place for a few days.”

Lin Hua and Xiao Han boarded the green train and took a bumpy ride for three or four days before arriving at Lin Hua’s unit.

The army had accommodation for visiting family members. After Lin Hua settled his younger sister down, he went to report to his superiors.

Apart from canceling his leave, the first thing he wanted to talk about was the fight with someone in the capital.

Although it was during vacation, he had to abide by the military rules when wearing this military uniform. Fighting with others and being taken to the public security bureau could be considered a violation of discipline. Lin Hua was mentally prepared for the possibility that he would at least be punished or suspended.

His superior knew him well: a calm, composed, and competent person. If Lin Hua hadn’t been so sincere in admitting the facts, his superior wouldn’t have believed he would do such a thing. So, after receiving the telegram, he made a special investigation into the situation.

Then he immediately felt that Lin Hua was not to blame.

If it were him, he would have been beaten too. What the kid from the Chen family did was too shameless. Beating him up would be the least of his worries.

So before Lin Hua returned to the army, his boss put the matter on hold. When Lin Hua came to see him, he also expressed it to his face. After some discussions within the army, it was decided that the matter would just be a verbal warning and not happen again.

Lin Hua did not continue to insist, but talked about another important matter, applying for a divorce report.

…

Everyone in the army heard that Commander Lin had brought his sister. The news spread quickly, and they had not yet met Commander Lin’s family. Especially the soldiers under Lin Hua were quite curious about the commander’s sister.

I’m still guessing what it will look like, maybe like Captain Lin who is particularly serious.

This statement was quickly overturned by soldiers who had seen Lin Yun. They said that Captain Lin came in holding his sister’s hand.

When they saw her in person, they found that she was a fair and tender little girl, who looked very well-behaved at first glance.

Suddenly they felt a little envious of Captain Lin.

The troops were all tough guys, and taking advantage of the fact that Captain Lin was away and it was break time, they thought of a way to tease the little girl and asked her to come over to watch actual shooting, the kind with real guns and real bullets, without caring whether the sixteen-year-old girl would be scared by the scene.

After all, Xiao Han wasn’t exactly worldly-wise. Far from being frightened, she watched with great interest. The younger soldiers even picked up a few fallen bullet casings and showed them to Xiao Han.

It’s not that Xiao Han hasn’t seen bullets and guns before, she has even seen more advanced and sophisticated ones.

But compared to many people in peacetime, the people here have truly seen blood, which can easily arouse the wildness in their bones.

The control of the troops here was not particularly strict, and they were very happy to see Xiao Han liked it so much. They even felt that Captain Lin’s sister was very much to their liking, and their attitude towards her became more enthusiastic.

One of the older and braver adjutants smiled and asked, “Little girl, do you want to try it?”

Xiao Han nodded decisively. She had already touched it, so it would be a shame if she didn’t fire a few shots.

A calm-looking officer came out and taught her how to fire a gun twice. Seeing that she adapted surprisingly quickly, he let her try firing a few shots at the target herself. The people around her didn’t think it was a big deal. With so many soldiers here, they just had to be careful.

“Don’t be nervous, fight with confidence.” The officer consoled her.

Xiao Han pursed her lips, and there was a ‘bang’ sound, followed by two or three more.

All ten rings.

This immediately shocked the surrounding soldiers.

Even the officer who had just taught Xiao Han was shocked. He thought that if he could just stand still and not cry, everything would be fine. “Oh my goodness, she’s not even an adult yet, she’s already so accurate after just a few attempts.”

Seeing Xiao Han’s hand holding the gun still steady.

Xiao Han paused, then heard a few more gunshots, her calm eyes reflecting the muzzle flash. Twelve bullet casings fell, and until the chamber was empty, each one hitting the bull’s eye with pinpoint accuracy.

After a moment of silence, cheers and encouragement were heard all around.

“Look at the shot the girl made. You can’t even compare to her. Don’t you have any shame?”

“Well done.” The surrounding soldiers cheered. Even the soldier who was being ridiculed and scolded smiled. “This is the commander’s sister.”

Suddenly, someone said, “Captain.”

The soldiers who were cheering and making a fuss immediately became alert. They all stood up straight and saluted the newcomers with a standard military salute. It can be seen that Lin Hua usually has great dignity.

Lin Hua saw the bullet hole that hit the bull’s eye and Lin Yun, who was surrounded in the center of the training ground and had not yet put down her gun, and his brows furrowed even more.
