The Soul Reborn

28. Refusal

First ignore the grieving Zhu Haimei. Now let's talk about Shen Dongyuan going to the clinic to have his injuries checked. Shen Dongyuan thought, yesterday he had not suffered any serious injuries, but who would have thought that after being exposed to the inflamed wound water. Moreover, today Shen Dongyuan was not in a good condition as he had just witnessed Zhu Haimei again being unkind.

Shen Dongyuan thought that Zhu Haimei had truly regretted his past deeds and decided to change, yet he never thought that Zhu Haimei was a two-faced person. It is true what the saying goes: Do not judge a book by its cover alone. From now on, Shen Dongyuan decided not to be easily fooled by Zhu Haimei's outer appearance.

At the thought of that, Shen Dongyuan had already arrived at the clinic. Today coincidentally the one who served in the clinic was a middle-aged female doctor whose face was not very familiar, but it seemed like she was a good person. "Why you?" ask the doctor kindly.

Shen Dongyuan then rolled up his sleeves and exposed his injuries and made the doctor startled at the sight of his injuries. "It's inflamed! How could you be hurt like this?"

"Is it because of a knife?" The doctor asked again. The doctor then took a thermometer. "Let's measure your body temperature first."

"I don't have a fever. Just handle the wound."

The doctor then said very gently while giving his thermometer to Shen Dongyuan. "Calm down, measure your body temperature first."

Shen Dongyuan could only take the thermometer and place it on his armpit. "My family is Ma. I just got transferred here. You'll get to know me if you come here often." The doctor said he introduced himself.

Shen Dongyuan only answered him with a short deheman as he was indeed not a talkative person. Besides, he didn't know what to talk about with the doctor.

The doctor then asked about Shen Dongyuan's military unit and what he was busy with now, but the question made Shen Dongyuan even more impatient. He just wants his wound dealt with immediately and can go home soon.

In the end Shen Dongyuan was indeed really feverish. The doctor examined him suddenly. It turns out that his fever was caused by a cold, not from wound inflammation. After Shen Dongyuan received the medicine, he then returned home.

Zhu Haimei woke up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Then he saw a medicine bag on a small table in the living room. Zhu Haimei then took the medicine bag and looked at it. It turns out that in the bag of the drug there are heat-lowering drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. Now that he understood, it turned out that Shen Dongyuan was having a fever. The man's face looked very pale.

The next day, Zhu Haimei woke up early in the morning and cooked millet porridge for Shen Dongyuan. He put it on a small table and then left the house. When he had returned home after selling food, the millet porridge he had made this morning was still intact on the table and had gone stale.

(Millet is a porridge made of cereals that have small grains).

Zhu Haimei then took the porridge and threw it into the toilet in disappointment.

Due to the matter of the apples, his relationship with Shen Dongyuan completely returned again to the starting point. Some time ago, they would greet each other or laugh together when they met in the living room. Now, however, if he were in the living room, Shen Dongyuan would immediately return to his room or leave the house. Although this made Zhu Haimei sad, he did not intend to explain what really happened. Zhu Haimei prefers to work harder to earn money.

If his savings were enough, Zhu Haimei planned to go to the hometown of his uncle and aunt first, then settle there so that he would no longer need to receive cruel treatment here.

Meanwhile, Shen Dongyuan had not spoken at all with Zhu Haimei. Now Shen Dongyuan's life was completely disrupted because of Guan Tongtong, the female journalist from the evening news who came from Jiang city, who kept chasing him to be willing to interview.

After the training was over, Shen Dongyuan was having a meal together with his other companions. Then the figure of Guan Tongtong who wore a very striking white dress was already standing at the entrance of the canteen.

Huang Qi patted Shen Dongyuan's arm to tell him. "Captain, captain, the woman is coming again."

Shen Dongyuan frowned after seeing Guan Tongtong's figure. "Are there no guards outside? Who let him go inside? After the meal, go to tell the guards not to let the guards in again."

"Yes a journalist, can the gatekeeper stop him?"

"What happened to journalists? This place is military territory. Can anyone just come here? Finish eating later, don't forget to tell the guard about what I just said." Shen Dongyuan.

Huang Qi replied in a loud voice. "Okay, Captain! Ready-to-do!"

Shen Dongyuan then kicked Huang Qi's calf in annoyance. "Do you ask to be beaten?"

Meanwhile, Guan Tongtong's eyes looked as if he was staring at Shen Dongyuan. He looked at Huang Qi who was grimacing in pain. That kick must have been very painful. It showed that Captain Shen was indeed angry.

However, Guan Tongtong still did not plan to surrender and instead blocked Shen Dongyuan's move to get out of the canteen.

Shen Dongyuan's face turned grim after hearing the question just now. He stepped forward without saying a word. The soldiers who ate together behind him were also stunned after hearing the journalist's remarks.

Is the journalist joking? The incident that happened in the rain forest was a wound to Shen Dongyuan in the past. No one can talk about that.

Guan Tongtong impatiently said, "Captain Shen, I just want to do an interview with you. Do you need to treat me as a terrible monster to avoid like this?"

"Huang Qi." Call Shen Dongyuan while stopping his steps.

"Ready, Captain." Reply Huang Qi who immediately stood up with a military standard posture.

"Call the guards and get rid of the disinterested people from here."

"Good."

Shen Dongyuan's cold eyes then turned to look at Guan Tongtong's face. "I'm not going to do an interview. Please don't show up in front of me again after this." Shen Dongyuan said then walked away.

Guan Tongtong stomped his feet in annoyance after hearing the words just now. "Shen Dongyuan, what's so great about you? I can't believe it! Tifaj's great men will bow down to the words of others."

Guan Tongtong was stunned as he looked at the back of Shen Dongyuan who kept away and was followed by several other soldiers.

Guan Tongtong's tears fell. No one has ever rejected him like this. Moreover, Shen Dongyuan also made him lose face in front of many people.

Meanwhile, Huang Qi ran back to Shen Dongyuan's office to report something. "Wine! The captain this time has made a big deal. It turned out that the journalist was able to enter the military area because she was the daughter of the Deputy Commander of the Military, Huang Rongguang. Lothawat! This is really bad!"

"What's so bad? Being willing to interview or not is my personal decision. What does this have to do with Deputy Military Commander Guan?" Said Shen Dongyuan who was sitting down and signed the documents on his office desk.

"Captain, we can't fight. Besides, what's wrong with doing an interview just once?"

Shen Dongyuan stopped writing after hearing Huang Qi's words just now. Although his head was still bowed and looked at the documents he was signing, but his tone became increasingly cold. "Are you telling me to be proud of the death of others for an honor?"

Li Jirong, the Vice Leader of the Squad who was next to Huang Qi, hurriedly pulled him out of the room after hearing Shen Dongyuan's sentence just now.

When everyone was out of his office, Shen Dongyuan stopped his activities, then covered his face with both hands. He had indeed spent one day and one night in the rainforest and had obtained a feat that looked great in the eyes of others. However, no one knows the pain. He received applause from the people, while his close friend died in the dense forest.

How could he enjoy such honor?

Then he rubbed his face. No matter who the journalist was, he was determined not to do interviews about it.

Wu Tianlei then knocked on his office door and made Shen Dongyuan raise his head. "What's wrong?"

Then Wu Tianlei walked in and sat down. "I didn't come here for anything else. I heard that the female journalist has been bothering you for a few days."

"If you see me because of that, then stop talking because I won't do the interview." Said Shen Dongyuan who immediately cut off Wu Tianlei's words.

"I'm not as good as you are in terms of rank, but in terms of troops and time, you're not as good as me, don't know..." Shen Dongyuan suddenly lost and started to get as hot as hectic. "Every time someone talks about my great achievements, they're like digging up old wounds in my heart."

Unfortunately, Wu Tianlei was unable to understand his feelings, as he had never felt the same way. Perhaps only those who had gone to the battlefield and had ever been on the verge of death could understand the wounds that were in Shen Dongyuan's heart. Although the journalist was the only daughter of Vice Military Commander Guan, but Wu Tianlei could not continue his remarks to persuade Shen Dongyuan after seeing the injured expression on the man's face.
