Chapter 151 A Battleground? No, it's a Blind Date!

The air seemed to freeze at the military district gate.

Zhang Sisi was wearing a polyester dress and high heels. She crossed her arms, held her chin high, and looked at Liu Ran as if he were a pile of garbage.

"Well, Liu Ran, who do we have here? When did you become so capable of hooking up with the young master of the Gu family?"

Her words were full of contempt.

"Get your filthy hands off Bei Xiao's arm! How dare someone like you touch it?"

Liu Ran was furious at her gaze, and instead of letting go, she hugged Gu Beixiao's arm even tighter.

She stood tall and retorted without backing down.

"Zhang Sisi, aren't you being too nosy? Who are you to him? Is it your problem if I'm being affectionate with my boyfriend?"

Object?

Gu Beixiao's eyebrows twitched, sensing that things were getting interesting.

Instead of pulling his hand back, he pretended to be in a dilemma and looked at Zhang Sisi.

"Sisi, don't say that. Comrade Liu is a pillar of the cultural troupe, and he's a very good person."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Liu Ran with an apologetic expression.

"Comrade Liu, thank you for bringing me the meal. I appreciate it. But Miss Zhang is a family friend, so please don't take it to heart."

These words are like adding fuel to the fire.

You can't offend either side, but you end up offending both sides.

Zhang Sisi's face immediately darkened.

"Gu Beixiao! What do you mean? You're comparing me to a woman like this?"

Liu Ran was also furious.

"So what if we're family friends? Does that give you the right to boss others around? Gu Beixiao, you have to explain to me clearly today what our relationship really is!"

The two women completely forgot about him, the person involved, and directed their anger at each other.

"Who do you think you are! You dare to question Bei Xiao?" Zhang Sisi stepped forward and pointed at Liu Ran's nose, cursing.

"You're the one! A piece of trash kicked out of Beijing, and you really think you're something special!" Liu Ran wasn't one to back down either, and immediately retorted.

"you!"

Zhang Sisi was hit where it hurt, and she was so angry that she trembled all over and suddenly reached out to push Liu Ran.

"You dare to lay a hand on me!"

Liu Ran screamed and pushed back defiantly.

The guards standing at the gate were dumbfounded.

Soldiers and their families passing by all stopped in their tracks, forming a circle and pointing and whispering about the two women tearing at each other in the middle of the scene.

"Isn't that Liu Ran from the cultural troupe?"

"Who's the other one? Dressed so flamboyantly. Why does she look so familiar?"

"It looks like Zhang Sisi!!"

"Tsk tsk, two women are fighting over a man at the gate of the military region. It's really outrageous!"

Gu Beixiao watched the two women wrestling, their hair disheveled and clothes wrinkled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He quietly slipped out through the gaps in the crowd, step by step.

"See? This is what they call 'one thing subdues another,' and wicked people will always have wicked people to deal with them!"

Gu Beixiao returned to the courtyard and gave a vivid, smug look to Su Yue, who was lying on the hospital bed, and Chu Jingya, who was sitting next to her.

Su Yue was sipping the plum juice that Gu Beichen was feeding her, listening with great interest.

Chu Jingya snorted coldly.

"Don't be so smug. You're a walking menace; wherever you go, there's no peace."

Gu Beixiao was displeased, so he leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

“Hey, Miss Chu, this is called personal charm, you know? Unlike some people, who are like ice blocks all the time, and everyone avoids them.”

"Who are you calling an ice cube!" Chu Jingya slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Who should be speaking?"

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, a junior staff member from the performing arts troupe came running in, panting.

"Comrade Chu... Comrade Chu!"

The junior staff member ran up to Chu Jingya, stood at attention, and excitedly reported.

"Your transfer order has arrived! You're officially being transferred back to our cultural troupe! You won't need to help with logistics anymore!"

Chu Jingya's eyes lit up; finally, some good news.

"Also..." The junior officer glanced at Gu Beixiao beside him, his expression a little strange, "Your mother called from Beijing and said... said she arranged a blind date for you this weekend, and the person is... is Comrade Gu Beixiao."

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Chu Jingya's joy froze.

Gu Beixiao forgot to put his legs down, which were crossed over his shoulders.

The next second.

Two roars, filled with shock and anger, exploded simultaneously in the courtyard.

"I disagree!"

"I would rather die than agree!"

The two glared at each other, their eyes practically spitting fire.

Su Yue almost choked on the plum juice in her mouth. She patted Gu Beichen's hand, laughing heartily.

“I think it’s a good idea. Since your aunt and uncle have already made the arrangements, you should just go along with it and go on a ‘blind date’ to appease your family.”

Su Yue made the suggestion slowly.

"Perfect timing! I've been feeling really bored these past few days. If you come back and tell me what happened, it'll help relieve my boredom."

Gu Beixiao and Chu Jingya turned their heads at the same time, looking at her with accusatory eyes that seemed to say, "How could you do this, sister-in-law/cousin?"

"Sister-in-law, the idea you mentioned last time was so useful!"

Gu Nanxing rushed in with a notebook in hand, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere in the room.

She excitedly ran to Su Yue's bedside.

"I did as you said, and diluted the 'nutrient solution' you gave me to water that vine."

"Guess what? It's growing incredibly fast! And its color has deepened, and it's secreting a shiny crystalline substance from its roots!"

Gu Nanxing's eyes sparkled, filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Sister-in-law, what exactly is that thing?"

Su Yue smiled and was about to speak when Yang Yiyi rushed in like a gust of wind.

Her face was glowing, and she radiated happiness.

"Yueyue! My parents met Yun Mu!"

She rushed to the bedside and grabbed Su Yue's hand.

"They were overjoyed! They made the decision on the spot! They'll get engaged next month and get married next spring!"

"Congratulations, Yiyi." Su Yue was genuinely happy for her.

The small courtyard was suddenly filled with a mix of emotions, both joyful and sorrowful, a chaotic jumble of feelings.

A few days later.

Military hospital.

With special permission from Elder Huo, Su Yue was allowed to use that ultrasound machine, which was one of the best available in the entire military region, for a detailed prenatal checkup.

Gu Beichen accompanied him the whole time, his palms sweating with nervousness.

Su Yue lay on the examination bed, watching the doctor slide the probe across her stomach.

The doctor in charge of the examination was the same one as last time.

He stared at the black and white screen, initially everything seemed normal, muttering to himself, "Hmm, the fetal heartbeat is normal, it's developing very well..."

But as he looked at it, his expression changed.

From normal to doubt.

He stopped peering in, rubbed his eyes, and moved even closer.

On the screen, in that tiny gestational sac, it seemed... it seemed like there was more than one heartbeat?

The doctor checked from several different angles repeatedly.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his breathing became rapid.

Gu Beichen's heart jumped into his throat when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Doctor, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" His voice was tense.

The doctor looked up at Gu Beichen, his lips trembled a few times, and he remained silent for a long time.

He took off his glasses, wiped them, put them back on, glanced at the screen again, and finally, as if he had made a huge decision, he stammered out his words.

"Commander Gu... Commander Gu..."

"Speak!" Gu Beichen shouted in a low voice.

The doctor was so startled that he nearly dropped the probe in his hand.

He swallowed hard, looking at Su Yue and then at Gu Beichen with the eyes of someone looking at an alien.

"You...you should prepare yourself..."

"Your wife is pregnant with..."
