I don’t think this makes you any better.\" Kate’s voice appeared from the right with a hint of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad. Hurry up and——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun slapped both of their butts with his hand, moving the two invisible figure onto his lap, his phone suddenly started ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For fuck sake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking his phone out, he was a little surprised to see Lingang, out of all people, calling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander... Can we talk for a second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lingang’s voice sounded a little off, Xiaoyun didn’t think too much about it as his mind was filled with the beauty in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. Do you want to meet in person or just over the phone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short thought, Xiaoyun suddenly signaled both of his wives aside as his face suddenly got a lot more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s just do it in person. Where do you want to meet——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, a doorbell rang from the front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m right outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After welcoming Lingang inside the house, Xiaoyun immediately noticed the look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a hint of anger and frustration. Yet mixed with sadness and the feeling of defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You okay? Is there something wrong?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked, handing Lingang a cup of water as they sat down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, can you just cancel my break and send me back to the frontline?\" Lingang suddenly requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the rush all of a sudden? Also, I’m not going to send you to the frontline looking like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun unwilling to back down, Lingang sighed as he stared down at the floor in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t say anything, I’m only going to extend your break. And don’t even think about retiring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun’s threat seemed to have finally moved Lingang a little as his face started to hesitate, needing a little more push to get him talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, you came to my house looking all angry and sad. If you aren’t going to say something, I’m going to kick your butt out of here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, I... Am I a bad husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question caught Xiaoyun a little off guard, but he quickly recovered as he started digging through his memory for Lingang and his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everything returned blank. The only memory he found was him attending Lingang’s wedding with his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know what your relationship is with your wife. What kind of question is that? Is there something wrong between you and your wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his face hesitating for a second, Xiaoyun immediately realized he had guessed correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to warn you, I’m no therapist or anything. But if you want to share it with me, maybe I can help with some ideas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the room fell back into silence, both sides waited until Lingang finally couldn’t control his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, I just can’t. I can’t do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing another man on the verge of tears despite all the things they had experienced on the battlefield, Xiaoyun was a little shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind couldn’t understand what he couldn’t do. But he knew it wasn’t the time to ask about it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay, it’s okay. Just cry it out—no need to hold it in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears began falling as Xiaoyun handed Lingang a tissue. Only after a whole minute did he slowly stop sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Commander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to say sorry. I’m touched that you chose me to share your emotion... Don’t say anything right now, take a deep breath first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a deep breath, Lingang’s face looked much calmer as he wiped off the remaining tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, I... I just can’t. I can’t do it with my wife.\" Lingang repeated, his voice getting quieter and quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s ’it’ that you’re talking of?\" Xiaoyun softly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingang fell into silence again. His eyes looked away as if he were embarrassed by the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t have sex with my wife. I haven’t touched her ever since we’re married... I just can’t do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the confession, Xiaoyun’s brain immediately kicked into overdrive as he thought of various reasoning before Lingang said anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time we get romantic, I just get disgusted when my memories remind me of the past...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay. I understand.\" Xiaoyun gently patted Lingang on the back, his mind realizing the issue between him and his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do, Commander?\" Lingang questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I do. I was the one who saved you and your wife... Let me tell you one thing, Lingang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun paused for a second, Lingang turned his head, looking over with tear marks remaining on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you came in earlier and asked me if you’re a bad husband or not. You already know the answer to that question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, you came here looking for my opinion, thinking that since I’m your commander, I can solve every battle for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I’m going to tell you is you should be in your house right now. You should be talking it out with your wife, not me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lingang still sitting there in silence, Xiaoyun suddenly patted him on the back, snapping him back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You listen to me, all problems between a wife and husband can be resolved through communication. Do you understand me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now tell me, what are you going to do after leaving my house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, Lingang finally spoke up. Although his face still looked a little depressed, there was some hope in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to head back home and talk to my wife about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say ’it’. Tell her the exact issue that is giving you a hard time and come up with a solution together, do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\" Lingang quietly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say it loud, I want to hear your confidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that’s more like it. Come on, get up and go back to your home... Remember, communicate and resolve the problem together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Lingang walk off into the distance, Xiaoyun slowly closed the door before sitting back down onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what is Lingang’s problem?\" Kate curiously asked, emerging from thin air as she stood behind the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, what’s the problem between them? What’s ’it’ you two are talking of?\" Leyan asked next, emerging right next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s their privacy. If you want to know about it, you should ask them yourself... But they probably won’t tell you either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them rolled their eyes before Leyan headed towards the guest hallway to get all the kids back out into the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at me for?\" Kate questioned, noticing his eyes kept staring at her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t gotten my prize——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No prizes for you. You ruined your chances of getting it when you answered the phone call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her taking off her cloak and putting it aside, Xiaoyun had no choice but to give up on reclaiming his prize from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy! C-Can we watch T-Tom and Jenny again?\" Lianrong asked as soon as she ran into his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Tom and Jerry. And sure, I’ll put it on for you guys——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough TV for today. Time for you guys to read and do your lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them looked a little disappointed, but they didn’t try to argue back as they sat down on the floor next to Leyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to head out now, then. See you guys later tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later.\" Kate and Leyan both waved goodbye at the same time as Xiaoyun headed towards the garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes of driving to Guangzhou later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn, why is the sun so hot today?\" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he stepped out of his air-conditioned car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel his back already sweating from just standing underneath the sun for a minute as he walked towards the bank entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he stepped inside the bank could he feel an instant rush of refreshing cold air as he walked over to the front desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I help you... M-Mr.Governor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front desk lady was a little surprised, but the professionalism on her face quickly reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see Liuqian, is he here?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head manager? He’s at the newspaper place right now, I think.\" The front desk lady answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to leave, he suddenly turned back around before asking the front desk lady again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost forgot, can you say hello for me when Nami is back from her lunch break?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will do, Mr.Governor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1509,"2026-06-10T06:59:52.732Z",1,"novelbin.me","205141459830d7a5517a08d355414f2cdac15b546114966b31a63e71bcc2a371","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-561","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-559",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
