Bab 157: The Trouble Maker
After Han Meixiu painstakingly finished her dinner, she quietly followed Sigma to his office since it was also along the way to her assigned room.
It was time to call Liu Zijian.
Since only few people could carry a personal mobile phone and Han Meixiu wasn't one of them, she could only borrow.
Normally, Sigma could have handed her the phone right there and then but he forgot to bring it with him this time. He only had his normal two way radio transceiver.
The call was short and concise. She only told him she's fine and she remembered a bit. As for what memory it was, she didn't mention but it was apparent that it wasn't good based from her voice.
Han Meixiu sounded so distant and seemingly confining herself in a solitary place that no one was allowed to go.
Upon arriving in her designated room that was adorned with very basic furniture, she sat absentmindedly on the bed.
She remained in her position for a time until she felt suffocated by too much thoughts and emotions swirling around both her mind and heart.
Han Meixiu would be lying if she said she still questioned herself with her outrageous actions towards Liu Zijian. She more or less already forgave herself. She thought that she must have been desperate to be saved in the middle of an endless body of water and he was like a life ring buoy floating in a vast ocean.
Whatever method she used to save herself in that world she created for her own self, it's acceptable.
Of course she was wrong.
But since she only remembered the part where her mother left that night and made a promise that was never fulfilled, her hypothesis was reasonable.
After the phone call, Liu Zijian already concluded that Han Meixiu was indeed feeling melancholic and miserable. She might have remembered a not so good memory.
Liu Zijian immediately dialed a string of numbers and with only a single ring, someone answered.
Being a man who's not good with intricate words, Liu Zijian directly stated the reason of his call.
"Sir Sigma, please arrange someone who could accompany my wife starting tomorrow. Someone that she could trust completely."
Even though the man insisted on calling him only 'Sigma' Liu Zijian would always add 'Sir' to express his courtesy since the man was one of their trainers in the past.
"I'll assign a female general then." Sigma swiftly answered.
The old man also noticed the mood of the young woman earlier. Although she didn't talk much even since he first met her, he could easily read her mood.
It wasn't good the moment she stepped out of the hut.
He was actually already planning to let someone accompany the young woman during her 'treatment' and was about to ask Liu Zijian when the latter called him.
"No need for a general. Tell Major Li about it. He knows who is the person best suitable for this." Liu Zijian continued.
'Major Li? That piece of wood who didn't even know the meaning of socialization?' Sigma was puzzled.
How could Major Li probably know a woman?
But instead of rebutting, he simply answered "Alright, I'll tell him."
"Thank you."
Sigma smiled when the call ended. These two young masters of Liu family even though they already grown ups could still warm his heart. That simple 'thank you' might not be relevant for some people but for an 'old' man like him who could not be compared to the status of the young man, it gave him a sense of self-pride.
They grew up really well despite the chaos in their past. He couldn't help but admire Mr. Liu and Madam Liu for a job well done.
Sigma didn't waste another minute and went to Major Li's quarter. Unfortunately, he wasn't there thus he went to Mr. Di's hut and found the man he's looking for.
After excusing themselves out, Sigma started.
"Do you know someone, who could accompany Ms Han starting tomorrow?"
Major Li knitted his brows as he questioningly looked at Sigma as if his he suddenly acquired an extra head.
He started to explain and didn't forget to add his own deduction about the matter including his rejected suggestion.
Major Li pondered for a while as he listened.
'I know a suitable person?' Major Li asked himself several times. Most of the people he's familiar with were military men. Liu Zijian wouldn't probably want those people. They couldn't help his wife, but might make her uncomfortable instead.
Unless Liu Zijian was talking about someone outside his circle,..
Major Li thought for some time while Sigma was patiently waiting for his answer.
The corner of Major Li's lip twitched several times and his complexion became slightly dimmed.
'So he's talking about 'that' trouble maker.' Major Li murmured to himself.
It's actually a good timing since she was sent back home recently for creating a trouble during her training. In short, she was in suspension.
He could still remember how they cleaned up a 'mess' she created. His sister even pulled Han Meixiu to a dangerous murky water. If they were a bit late that time, the identity of those two would have been exposed to dangerous people and their safety would definitely be compromised.
Major Li would never be convinced that Han Meixiu asked his sister for help. It would be more reasonable to say that she enticed her friend to do the things they shouldn't be doing.
Observing the young man in front of him, Sigma confirmed that Major Li indeed knew someone.
"I'll leave the arrangement to you then."
With that, Sigma left.
Major Li who was left standing took out his phone and made a call.

The next morning, Han Meixiu found herself sitting across a young woman.
Her dark hair was pulled back with a loose pony tail and her skin was fine and light wheat colored. Her pair of eyes were mesmerizing but looking sharply at her while one of her brows was slightly raised. Her thin lips were smirking and with her both arms crossed across her chest, she appeared rude and unrestrained.
Surprisingly, Han Meixiu didn't feel offended. She actually smiled softly while observing the young woman.
Nobody told her that she would meet someone today.
"Are you my friend?" Han Meixiu cautiously asked though she more or less knew the answer. Aside from being her friend, what could be the reason why the young woman was here?
"What do you think?" The young woman impolitely answered.
"You're one of my friends." Han Meixiu answered.
"Correction, I'm your ONLY friend."
The answer made Han Meixiu's smile deepened. She wasn't surprise and most importantly, she didn't feel a single tiny drop of doubt when the young woman answered.
Instead, her eyes reflected a rare emotion of longing as if she's asking to be pampered.
The young woman sighed exaggeratedly before her countenance finally reflected her real feelings.
'Just what kind of trouble did she got herself into?'
It was her question ever since she entered the military camp.
