"Then will you be my girlfriend?" Sun Xingyan had no choice but to settle for second best when Xia Baozhu disagreed.

"Are you sure?" Xia Baozhu looked up at Sun Xingyan and asked, "Aren't you afraid your family will object?"

"They will definitely agree to my situation. If you're worried, we can get our marriage certificate first and then talk about it."

Sun Xingyan no longer considered anything else; he was certain that he liked Xia Baozhu as a person, and liked every aspect of her.

Xia Baozhu looked at him with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" Isn't getting a marriage certificate just getting married?

"You should know about my health condition."

"Don't worry about that. Let's do a physical exam first and see what the doctor says. Even if we don't have children, it's okay. You can ask your sister to have one for you, and I can ask my brother to have one for me. That way, we'll have two children without having to give birth ourselves."

Sun Xingyan grinned, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth, and imagined the prospect of suddenly having two children for free.

Family planning is now very strict; a family can only have one child.

Baozhu's younger sister definitely wants a second and a third child, but they can't be registered in the household registration system. If they are raised by them, this problem will be avoided.

I believe his brother also wants another child.

Xia Baozhu was once again stunned by Sun Xingyan's wildly imaginative remarks; he truly was a genius.

This greatly alleviated Xia Baozhu's tension in this regard.

Through her interactions with Liu Runan, she gradually came to like children.

Although she had never thought about having children before, and had no intention of having children, not wanting to have children and not being able to have children are two completely different concepts.

Not wanting to have children is a choice; being unable to have children is a problem.

The difference between being subjected to gossip and idle talk is that the former is met with pity, while the latter is met with pointing fingers, ridicule, or even insults.

Just like how Wang Aixiang liked to use a hen that couldn't lay eggs to insult Xia Zhaodi, it made people feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Xia Baozhu also wanted to see a doctor to check her body and see what the problem was.

"Your idea is very unique," Xia Baozhu said, offering a forced compliment.

"And childbirth is very painful, much more painful than me getting a C-section." Sun Xingyan started talking nonsense, as if he knew a lot about childbirth.

"Okay, I agree." Seeing how hard Sun Xingyan was trying to comfort her, Xia Baozhu agreed.

She temporarily set the contents of the book aside.

Before Sun Xingyan could cheer, Xia Baozhu continued, "But you have to inform your family and get their consent."

"Don't worry, they'll definitely agree. If they don't, I'll marry into your family."

In Sun Xingyan's view, being filial to one's parents does not mean listening to them in everything.

He has independent thoughts and judgment, and his parents should respect his choices.

Xia Baozhu was speechless when she heard the second half of Sun Xingyan's sentence.

It's true what they say: where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure.

Her policy hadn't even been implemented yet, and he'd already come up with a countermeasure.

"Unfortunately, I lost my bag last night; it contained an engagement ring."

Sun Xingyan had made thorough preparations.

"Tell me what those two thugs look like, and I'll draw them."

Xia Baozhu returned to the main topic she had started with.

"Baozhu, I'd like to have some water first." Sun Xingyan looked at the water glass on the cabinet next to him.

Xia Baozhu touched the water with her hand. It cooled down quickly in winter, but it was warm now. She handed the water cup to Sun Xingyan.

“My back hurts whenever I move,” Sun Xingyan said to Xia Baozhu with innocent eyes.

Xia Baozhu could only pick up the water cup and feed him two sips.

After drinking the water, Sun Xingyan began to describe the appearance and physique of the thug who stabbed him.

He had said these words to the police once, and when he repeated them, he thought of even more details.

After finishing the drawing, Sun Xingyan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"What's wrong?" Xia Baozhu asked hurriedly, thinking that he had accidentally aggravated his wound again.

"I need to use the restroom, I've drunk too much water."

It's natural to need to go to the toilet more often when receiving an IV drip and drinking water.

“You can’t walk, I’ll borrow a wheelchair for you.” Xia Baozhu put down her pen and paper and went to the nurses’ station to borrow a wheelchair.

As a result, the nurse told her to go back and use the urinal for the patient.

"His wound is still healing, so try not to move him around too much."

Xia Baozhu went back. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground. She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open, but still went inside.

"The nurse told you to use a urinal," Xia Baozhu said, her face turning red.

Sun Xingyan was embarrassed. He had meant to use the urinal when he went to the toilet, and he was still thinking about how to say it when Xia Baozhu ran out.

"Or maybe I should go to the restroom."

"Can you still hold back?"

"I can bear it for a while."

“There’s a medical equipment store next to this hospital. I saw they had wheelchairs, so I went to buy one.”

"Okay, go ahead."

After Xia Baozhu left, Sun Xingyan chuckled quietly.

Great, he finally made Baozhu his girlfriend.

What a beautiful day! Heaven knows how much he missed her while he was away. He even slept with his pillow in his arms, calling her name.

This injury was totally worth it.

Next, he wanted her to accept his marriage proposal as soon as possible, which he hoped would be a month later.

He quickly realized a problem: would his back injury have any impact on his future life?

Xia Baozhu quickly pushed the wheelchair in.

She also carried a support bar for hanging IV drips, which she strapped to her wheelchair and used to hang the IV drip.

"Let me help you into the wheelchair. I promise I won't touch your wound." Xia Baozhu clapped her hands.

"Thanks."

Xia Baozhu was met with Sun Xingyan's outstretched arm and a face beaming with joy.

“No need to stretch your arms.” Xia Baozhu, who is 165 cm tall, easily transferred Sun Xingyan, who is 179 cm tall, to a wheelchair.

"Did you grow taller when you went to the Great Bear Country? I feel like you've grown a few centimeters."

"Yeah, it's probably because they eat meat every day over there."

Men often grow taller around 23. Sun Xingyan was not yet 24 when he left home, so it's normal for him to grow a bit older, which proves that he was still very young.

"When I first met you, what impressed me most was that you were carrying Teacher Deng on your back, walking so easily. Baozhu, do you think I'm heavy?"

“It’s not heavy, it’s like a ball of cotton,” Xia Baozhu replied dramatically.

"You might as well say I'm like a wisp of air." Sun Xingyan, sitting in his wheelchair, turned to look at Xia Baozhu.

"After I first met you, I complained to Teacher Deng, 'Why doesn't she introduce me to a beautiful relative like you?'"

"Oh." Xia Baozhu thought Sun Xingyan's words were a bit exaggerated and didn't take them seriously.

"You don't believe me? You can ask Teacher Deng. I even wanted her to set us up, but as you know, I left in a hurry and didn't have time."

Xia Baozhu didn't know how to respond to Sun Xingyan's rambling remarks.

All she could do was reply with an "oh".
