Shen Changchuan's condition has not changed significantly in the past few days, and neither Wei Aiguo nor Song Yan has been disappointed.

Any change is good enough; do we really expect people to suddenly wake up?

Song Yan's health is really not suited to staying in the hospital every day. Not to mention that her big belly makes things inconvenient, she has had to receive visitors one after another in the past few days, which is quite tiring.

So during the day she stayed home and stewed all kinds of soups, while her third aunt took Yueyue to the hospital.

Yueyue talks to her grandfather for a while every day.

The way Yueyue spoke so earnestly made it seem as if her grandfather could really hear her.

Not only her great-aunt, but also the nurses and doctors felt quite heartbroken listening to this.

...

Soon, Liu Xian's punishment was announced.

After a series of investigations, it was confirmed that he was not a spy, and he was given a warning.

However, everyone understood, including himself, that despite the seemingly insignificant warning, a promotion was likely very difficult, or even impossible.

The label of "bad character" will never be removed as long as he's in the military.

Unless a high-ranking leader highly values ​​him and promotes him directly.

The mess he made was so messy, what high-ranking leader would be so crazy as to appreciate him?

The news spread throughout the entire school on the day of the incident, as several groups of people came to the school. However, the specifics of what happened were not disclosed, and everyone had their own speculations.

Secretary Guan and Principal Ji wouldn't casually discuss this matter. The students who witnessed it understand the gravity of the situation. Moreover, they are all Wei Aiguo's roommates, and to protect Wei Aiguo, they certainly won't say much.

Another vice principal was involved, but no one has mentioned right or wrong in the matter.

All everyone knew was that something had happened and four people had been taken away.

The two security guards and Wei Aiguo returned the next day at noon, but the vice principal did not.

When asked about the details of the incident, all three refused to discuss it.

Then no one will ask anymore; it will be obvious who is in trouble.

After Liu Xian returned, a little bit of this matter spread.

Liu Xian was considered quite capable by the ordinary students; he was the vice principal.

But in Wei Aiguo's class, the respect he received was only so-so. He wore a military uniform, but he was in education; how many times had he actually fought with real guns and ammunition?

The people in the cadre academy class, which one of them hasn't seen bloodshed, hasn't witnessed human death? They have nothing but contempt for people like Liu Xian.

Once the punishment was handed down, more people started whispering about it. Even more people knew that Wei Aiguo had connections.

Meanwhile, those who knew the inside story also felt that Wei Aiguo was not someone to be trifled with. Although Liu Xian's actions were certainly underhanded, he was quite ruthless and seized the opportunity quite accurately.

Wei Aiguo didn't care about any of this; he went to the hospital every night.

Wei Aiguo received another piece of good news. Today, when the nurse was giving Shen Changchuan an injection, his hand actually moved because of the pain.

Everyone thought that Commander Shen would wake up soon.

Wei Aiguo was indeed eager for Commander Chen to wake up.

Song Yan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and even with cars picking her up and dropping her off, she is still quite tired.

Shen Ruomei wanted to take care of her father that night, but Wei Aiguo refused. His trip to the hospital with Song Yan wasn't just about simple care.

Shen Changchuan has dedicated caregivers, and his children's act of taking care of him is a sign of their filial piety.

Shen Ruomei definitely wanted to go and take care of him herself. Wei Aiguo said he was worried it would be inconvenient for her to take care of her father, which is why he didn't let her go.

Shen Ruomei couldn't help but mutter a few words in front of Xia Juntao.

"...That's my own father, what's inconvenient about it?"

Xia Juntao: "Should I come and help you?"

"You? Why should I ask you to help me!" Shen Ruomei didn't notice anything unusual about Xia Juntao. Over time, she came to think that Xia Juntao was a good person. As for anything else, Shen Ruomei didn't think much about it.

“I want to help you!” Xia Juntao said.

"No need! There are people around during the day, and the staff won't be negligent."

"I just wanted to go in the evening; it's inconvenient for you to go." Shen Ruomei meant that Xia Juntao was an outsider and it wasn't convenient for him.

Xia Juntao originally felt there was no rush to define their relationship. Shen Ruomei wasn't without suitors, but she rejected them all.

Some women expressed interest in Xia Juntao, but he readily rejected them.

They both felt comfortable with each other, and a classmate asked him if he wanted to pursue Shen Ruomei. Xia Juntao wanted to admit it, but Shen Ruomei didn't feel the same way about him.

In Shen Ruomei's eyes, Xia Juntao was just Song Yan's follower, and she always kept a very appropriate distance from him.

Xia Juntao had no opportunity, or no suitable time, to confess his feelings to Shen Ruomei.

He thought it would be good if the two of them gradually got to know each other and things naturally progressed by graduation.

However, with the start of the new semester and the arrival of new students, one female student was particularly enthusiastic towards him.

Shen Ruomei was actually watching the commotion from the sidelines, even commenting that the girl was quite pretty. She said marrying someone like that wouldn't be a bad deal. He wasn't getting any younger; he should just agree to marry someone suitable.

Xia Juntao suddenly felt a pain in his liver from anger.

His strategy of letting things take their natural course is definitely not going to work.

If someone confesses their feelings to Shen Ruomei and she accepts, then what's the point of me?

Qu Hongbin from Class 2 of Traditional Chinese Medicine was quite attentive to Shen Ruomei, and she didn't show any aversion to it!

Xia Juntao weighed the matter carefully; it really might be true.

“If it’s about turning over and changing clothes, I’m a man, so it’s more convenient for me than for you, right?” Xia Juntao said.

Shen Ruomei smiled, "Thank you first! But I want to take care of my dad myself!"

There are only two of them in the class now, so this is a rare opportunity.

"Ruomei, I... I hope you can give me this opportunity to help you share the burden!" Xia Juntao looked at Shen Ruomei very seriously.

"What did you say?" Shen Ruomei didn't understand.

Xia Juntao is a fairly composed person. He had a girlfriend before, they were childhood sweethearts, and he never had to pursue her. He's never actively pursued a girl before. He really has no experience in this area.

But he knew that he should seize the opportunities that were meant to be seized.

"Ruomei, I think you are very good. You are smart, beautiful, and excellent. You come from a good family and your father holds a high position, but you are never arrogant."

I am not good enough for them in terms of family background, but I will try my best.

"I don't know if you can accept me as your boyfriend." Xia Juntao was nervous, wondering if Shen Ruomei would agree.

"You and me?" Shen Ruomei thought she had misheard.

Yes. I want to date you with marriage in mind.

"If I were your boyfriend, I would have an obligation to help you take care of your dad!" Xia Juntao said.

"I haven't thought about that." Shen Ruomei had no plans to date, let alone get married.
