Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (63)

　　Chapter 63 Scars

　　Zhou Shuo was forced to turn around and lift up the hem of his shirt. Xia Liang took a sharp breath when he saw the dense scars on his back. The scars were old and new, including knife wounds and bullet marks. People can’t imagine what Zhou Shuo has gone through in these four years.

　　”There are so many on his back alone,” Xia Liang looked at his back and couldn’t bear to touch it, her voice trembling with pain, “Are there any other places?”

　　”Don’t look at it.” Zhou Shuo pulled down his clothes, turned around and held Xia Liang’s hand and said, “They are just minor injuries. They will stop hurting after a while. They are all healed now.”

　　Xia Liang was not so easy to fool, and asked again: “Just now you said that you used military merit to offset your medical expenses and living expenses over the years. It shows that your military merit must be quite big. Please tell me, you have made great achievements there. What military achievements have you achieved?”

　　Zhou Shuo sighed, knowing that with Xia Liang’s temper, he couldn’t hide it if he wanted to pursue it, so he pulled him to sit down and said, “Not long after I took Xia Xia there, something happened to the ABO clan. There was a civil strife, which was initially caused by some omegas who had talents but were strictly controlled for various reasons. I heard that Chen Sha, who was escorted back by Du Lanze, also took this opportunity to escape from prison for the second time. , joined the ranks of the rebels, stood on the opposite side of the people in power, and demanded that the laws be revised and their freedom restored.”

　　Xia Liang thought that it was true. When he learned from Du Lanze about the extremely unequal social status of the three groups of ABO people in a few words, he guessed that sooner or later such a day would come.

　　Just listen to Zhou Shuo continue: “At the beginning, the small group of people were weak. The government and the army didn’t take it too seriously. They thought that it would be fine if they sent more people to suppress it forcibly a few times. Unexpectedly, it was mainly Beta. The middle class and a small number of Alphas took advantage of this rebellion and cooperated with the Omegas inside and outside, and soon the war spread to all parts of the world, gradually becoming a prairie fire.”

　　Xia Liang narrowed his eyes: “So, you joined the political and military side, which is dominated by Alpha?”

　　”No,” Zhou Shuo shook his head, “the government and military were also torn apart due to the influence of various forces. Because of my familiarity with Wen Ping and Du Lanze, I was initially classified as a sensitive group and was closely monitored. They asked me to join the suppression army many times with coercion and inducement. In addition, Xia Xia was critically ill. I was really in a dilemma. Fortunately, at this time, a neutral faction headed by the Nawell family appeared in the government army. They advocated suppression. The extremists from A and O maintained a peaceful and stable tripartite social order and quickly won the hearts and minds of the masses. So at that time, I took refuge with the Neville family and joined their army. After more than three years of fighting, the situation is now It’s basically stabilized, so I can apply for leave and bring Xia Xia back to reunite with you.”

　　Xia Liang didn’t expect that there were so many twists and turns in this, which Du Lanze had hidden from him at first.

　　He digested it for a long time and asked: “So what is your military rank now? I heard from Xia Xia how many uncles you have under you?”

　　”I… can only say that the opportunity is good. When I joined the army, it happened to be a critical period when the Neville family was facing enemies from both sides. After I entrusted Xia Xia to Wen Ping, I followed several Alphas all the way into the siege and rescued them. , and then I participated in almost every battle, big or small, so the head of the Neville family relied heavily on me and promoted me to major.”

　　Xia Liang was shocked. Although he was a hero in troubled times, Zhou Shuo’s promotion speed was as if he was cheating. With just a few words from the other party, he really couldn’t compare the young man in front of him with whom he had watched grow up. The young general who made great achievements in the ABO war is connected with each other.

　　However, the large and small scars on his body were so shocking. If Xia Liang had known that Zhou Shuo was not just accompanying the child for treatment, but risking his life, he would never have been able to make up his mind and just let it go. Zhou Shuo left.

　　Zhou Shuo saw that Xia Liang was silent and didn’t speak. He vaguely guessed what he was thinking, so he held Xia Liang’s hand and comforted him: “Anyway, the most difficult period has been overcome, and Xia Xia is healthy.” The land has grown so big, and now our family of three can finally be reunited…”

　　Before Zhou Shuo finished speaking, Xia Xia on the side suddenly pouted, threw herself into Xia Liang’s arms and muttered: “Mom, don’t stay here anymore, come back with us. If you don’t go back, dad’s virginity will not be preserved.” ”

　　Zhou Shuo’s expression changed and he scolded: “Xia Xia, don’t talk nonsense!”

　　”I’m not talking nonsense. I clearly saw them forcing you to go on a blind date with uncles and aunts you didn’t know. If you didn’t go, they would force them to your bed. Don’t think that I don’t understand anything because I’m young. I can see clearly. !”

　　Xia Liang was startled and turned to look at Zhou Shuo: “What’s going on? Why did they force you to go on a blind date?”

　　”Brother Liang, don’t get me wrong, the matter is not as serious as Xia Xia said,” Zhou Shuo was afraid that Xia Liang would doubt his loyalty, so he hurriedly explained, “This is just a way for the Neville family to tie me down for a long time. That’s all.

　　”They saw that I had been single with a child for four years, and they thought I had been a widower for a long time, so they tried every means to introduce me to a partner. I told them that my Omega was still alive, but they didn’t believe it, so they… made some trouble. joke.

　　”But brother Liang, don’t worry. I have never done anything sorry for you in so many years. Even if they send the qing Omega to my bed, as long as my relationship with your mark is not severed, I will not suffer too much.” They can’t influence my marriage.”

　　Having said that, Xia Liang vaguely guessed from Zhou Shuo’s eager explanation tone that the situation might not be as optimistic as Zhou Shuo said. Perhaps Zhou Shuo was shouldering a huge burden on his own somewhere he couldn’t see. pressure.

　　Thinking of this, Xia Liang’s face gradually darkened – not to mention that Xia Liang was still alive and well, even if he died, Zhou Shuo would really become a widower, and his marriage would have to be approved by Zhou Shuo himself.

　　If it is true as Xia Xia said, if the blind date fails, the person will be sent directly to the bed. It seems that the so-called “neutrality and equality” of the Neville family is just a means to win over the people during the war. Its essence is different from the original force. There is no essential difference between the upper-class nobles who separated Du Lanze and his lover.

　　Thinking of this, Xia Liang raised his eyes and saw Zhou Shuo looking at him with worry, so he suppressed his unhappiness for the time being, held the back of Zhou Shuo’s head with one hand, and pecked him on the lips, whispering but not tolerated. He said doubtfully: “They have a good idea, my Alpha, so naturally I won’t give it up.”
