Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1841: Chapter 1840: Better a Short Pain than a Long Pain

Even though she knew this was an impossible love, something that couldn’t be spoken about and couldn’t continue, without a bright future...

Lin Miao also fell into deep thought.

An Hao tried hard to persuade in the living room, her mouth dry, finally managing to temporarily calm the conflict.

Taking advantage of this rare peace, she went to the kitchen to boil some water for tea, hoping to help Gu Shuangshuang persuade her mother again.

As she stepped into the kitchen, she witnessed the scene before her.

Tian Niu was holding Gan Tian’s fingers, tending to her wound, and when she looked at the young female soldier, her eyes were already filled with dreamy affection.

That gaze was familiar to An Hao.

This female soldier had developed feelings for Tian Niu.

Gu Shuangshuang, right under your nose, there’s someone who has feelings for your husband, and you remain completely unaware.

An Hao cleared her throat softly and entered.

Lin Miao heard the sound, snapping out of her thoughts, and upon seeing An Hao enter, promptly nudged Gan Tian, signaling her to quickly dismiss her starry-eyed look.

Gan Tian jolted back to reality, only to see An Hao already beside Tian Niu.

”Let me do it!” she asserted, taking the bandage from Tian Niu’s hands, ”I’m more skilled at handling wounds.”

”There’s no need. It’s almost done; I can bandage it myself,” Gan Tian quickly withdrew her hand.

”That’s no good, is it? If you don’t treat it properly, it could get infected. Captain Tian isn’t a professional; I am a doctor, let me!” An Hao smiled, gripping Gan Tian’s fingers firmly.

She reached for a nearby bottle of alcohol and poured it directly onto Gan Tian’s wound.

”Ah...” Gan Tian felt a sharp pain radiating from the wound but bit her lip, unwilling to make a bigger sound.

”It hurts?” An Hao didn’t look up, placing the alcohol bottle aside, and began wrapping the narrow wound on her finger with gauze, ”Captain Tian’s method of disinfection wasn’t effective. He’s afraid of your pain, so he was being cautious. However, fearing pain means some places might not be fully disinfected. If bacteria grow, the wound could fester, and then you’d have to go to the hospital to get the rotten meat removed. Tell me, which one hurts more?”

”Removing the meat!”

”Hmm. You’re right about that.” An Hao swiftly bandaged Gan Tian’s hand, finishing with a delicate bow, ”That’s why I washed it this way! Just like this, it’s better to endure short term pain than chronic pain! We must cleanly resolve what needs to be resolved. Otherwise, if left unchecked, it becomes trouble. Do you agree?”

Gan Tian felt there was more to An Hao’s words.

She gathered the courage to look up and met An Hao’s meaningful gaze, instantly understanding An Hao’s intention.

She was using this method as a warning not to do things she shouldn’t.

”Thank you!” Gan Tian blushed, thanking An Hao.

”There’s no need to, really. Your hand is injured now, so avoid water. I’ll handle the rest,” An Hao said, disposing of the shattered bowl before starting to wash the dishes.

Tian Niu felt uncomfortable watching: ”Sister-in-law, please let me handle it. If the regiment commander found out I made you wash the dishes, he’d chop me up for firewood!”

”If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, how would he know? Hurry along, calm the storm in your own household first!”

It was through this conversation that Gan Tian realized the woman in front of her was actually the wife of the regiment commander.

She wasn’t very old but seemed far more experienced.
