CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 395: DISTRIBUTION RESULTS OUT

Song Yuanhuan was in a rare good mood today. He didn’t care at all about the challenges his son had been releasing ever since he walked through the door. He finally had some time off and was playfully arguing with the kids at home, creating a great atmosphere all around. Perhaps it was because he had been busy dealing with the assignment of positions after finishing his advanced studies at the military academy, worrying about whether he would be returning to his original unit, transferred to another Military District, or leave active duty to settle into a civilian role.

The higher-ups, who were aware of his previous right leg injury, were very uncertain and hesitant about his situation. So before this, they had conducted various physical and military skill tests and assessments on him. His injured leg had now fully recovered and barely showed any signs of the past trauma, with very few scars left—and of course, this was thanks to Xu Xiuxiu, who never missed a chance to feed him pink fruits.

Moreover, in the past two years, though Song Yuanhuan was studying at the academy, he never forgot a soldier’s combat instincts. He continued to exercise and improve his fitness. Plus, before he came to study at the Imperial Military Academy, Song Yuanhuan had already completed another stint at a military academy that wasn’t part of the Imperial City’s system, which significantly improved his overall cultural level. He passed the academic assessments with ease and, with his exceptional physical abilities, quickly alleviated all the higher-ups’ concerns.

Because of the issue with his assignment, he had been somewhat neglectful of the children for some time. Now that everything was settled and the results of his assignment were out, he could freely play with the kids.

From the moment Song Yuanhuan walked in the door, Xu Xiuxiu knew something good must have happened to him. Otherwise, he, who was usually so serious, wouldn’t be laughing with dimples showing just like the kids—he was such a stoic person!

As expected, after dinner that night, Song Yuanhuan hurried the kids off to bed in his thick-skinned, unembarrassed manner, "Song Chengguang, you’re the eldest brother. You need to take good care of your younger siblings. Your mom is a bit tired today, so I am going to take her to rest first."

But Xu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but feel her eyes turning red. Whenever Song Yuanhuan was away, she would accompany the children doing homework or watching TV and playing games. Yet, every time Song Yuanhuan came home for the weekend, she always found herself whisked away into the bedroom while the sky was still not completely dark, and due to Song Yuanhuan’s robust stamina, Xu Xiuxiu would often get up late the next day.

The kids were still young, but after many such occurrences, they grew curious and started asking questions.

"Dad, why is it that every time you come back, mom is unwell?" The one to ask such an incisive question in a calm tone was undoubtedly Little Moon.

"..." Xu Xiuxiu’s cheeks turned red, and she stealthily pinched Song Yuanhuan’s back.

"Why are there so many whys?" Song Yuanhuan scolded Little Moon sternly and with a straight face, "Cheng Guang, Shi Yu, you two need to watch over your younger siblings and help them to sleep, understand?"

"We understand," replied Song Chengguang and Shi Yu, nodding in unison.

Only then did Song Yuanhuan nod in satisfaction. He then quickly wrapped his arm around Xu Xiuxiu’s shoulders and ushered her into the room. What followed was a series of experiments with various military district combat equipment on Xu Xiuxiu—first, the combat vehicles, followed by tanks, then planes, and artillery. By the time they finished, Xu Xiuxiu was utterly exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open.

"Wife," Song Yuanhuan embraced Xu Xiuxiu’s slender waist, burying his head in her neck as he spoke softly to her.

"Mm," Xu Xiuxiu, exhausted, lightly responded, knowing what he wanted to say and managing to restrain her drowsiness long enough to answer.

"The appointment for my return to the troop after finishing my military academy advancement has come down," he said as he kissed Xu Xiuxiu’s sweaty forehead.

"Really? Then can we go back to Z City?" Xu Xiuxiu’s tone carried a small surprise; to be honest, the Imperial City was also nice, even several times more bustling than Z City, but because her career focus was all in Z City, if Song Yuanhuan were reassigned back to his original unit, then she would also have it much easier.

Plus, Xu Jingjing and her husband Wei Jiaqiang were also in Z City, Song Yuan Yao and Song Yuanming, the sister and brother duo, were also there, and there were more relatives in Z City, not to mention that girl Xu Jingjing had also given birth to an adorably cute daughter who had now become a mother herself, currently babbling away as she learned to speak. Xiuxiu missed them a lot.

"No," Song Yuanhuan, hearing the anticipation in Xu Xiuxiu’s voice, felt a bit heartbroken at the thought of his wife’s disappointment, but the truth was he wasn’t reassigned back to the original Tiger Wolf Military District. Xiuxiu’s hopes were definitely going to be dashed: "Wife, after assessing my military skills, the higher-ups decided to place me in the Imperial Capital Military District. My original rank and post remain unchanged for now. It’s a work transfer, from the Tiger Wolf Military District in Z City to the Emperor Genius Military District in the Imperial City. I’ll report there in a week," Song Yuanhuan said apologetically.

He knew she wanted to return to Z City; after all, her sister-in-law and siblings were there; it would be much livelier than the Imperial City. But since the higher-ups had already made their decision, she would have no choice but to stay with him in the Imperial City.

"Stay in the Imperial Capital Military District?" Xu Xiuxiu sounded a bit disappointed, but knowing that Song Yuanhuan had been placed in the Imperial Capital Military District, she was truly happy for him, though Song Yuanhuan’s rank and position remained the same. For a soldier, the difference between the Tiger Wolf Military District in Z City and the Emperor Genius Military District in the Imperial City was a significant leap.

It was like comparing the deputy political commissar of a second-tier city mayor in Z City to that of a first-tier city in Imperial City; although both held the same title and position, the gap between them was vast.

"Mm," Song Yuanhuan nodded.

"Husband, you’re so amazing," Xu Xiuxiu, though tired, now felt a bit more awake, smiling and turning her head to imprint a kiss on Song Yuanhuan’s lips.

"If all goes well, we will both have to stay in the Imperial City from now on, are you sad about that?" Song Yuanhuan asked, watching Xu Xiuxiu’s slightly smiling, arched eyebrows, tentatively.

"Mm, I know, don’t worry! Mr. Song, I’m not sad, and moreover, I’m happier for you than anyone else could be for being assigned by the higher-ups to the Imperial Capital Military District. Look! I had far-sightedness early on, so I bought a lot of apartments in the Imperial City ahead of time. Now, each one is continuously increasing in value. In the future, your wife here can become a wealthy lady just by collecting the rent, hehe, I’m smart, right?" Xu Xiuxiu said, turning over in Song Yuanhuan’s arms so that instead of lying back to back, they were now face to face. At the same time, she used a coquettish tone to nuzzle against Song Yuanhuan’s shoulder, her small, boneless hands gently sliding back and forth over his firm chest, with a pleading expression on her face.
