Chapter 145 No one can blame them; the hearts of parents are full of love and concern.
Xia Yuhuan went upstairs to get some wine.
Since it's a celebration today, we'll definitely have a few drinks to liven things up.
She also had several jars of medicinal wine made with spring water in her room, which she could use to drink.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went upstairs, I saw Zhang Xianya sitting at the bottom of the stairs.
Upon hearing her voice, Zhang Xianya slowly raised her head.
Crimson eyes and a face streaked with tears instantly caught Xia Yuhuan's eye.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yuhuan immediately felt anxious and quickly walked over to Zhang Xianya and sat down next to her, putting her hand through her back and gently hugging her shoulders.
"Mom, why are you crying all of a sudden? Did Chi Yanzhou say something to upset you?" Xia Yuhuan asked.
Otherwise, why would someone who was just happy suddenly start crying?
"No, I was just overwhelmed by my emotions and couldn't help myself," Zhang Xianya said, her voice choked with emotion.
Zhang Xianya felt ashamed because she cried a lot today.
How did it become so fragile?
She sniffed, trying to stop herself from crying, but she couldn't.
"Mom, please stop crying. It breaks my heart to see you crying like this," Xia Yuhuan said quickly.
"Chi Yanzhou waking up is a good thing, so why are you crying?"
Xia Yuhuan knew that the three of them must have talked about something in the room just now to cause Zhang Xianya to react this way.
But she was too embarrassed to ask in detail.
After all, they are the real family of three, while she, though called a daughter-in-law, doesn't have much of a relationship with Chi Yanzhou yet. Even if they did, if anything happened, the three of them would be closer, and she would just be an outsider.
Although she was immersed in the affection given to her by the Chi family during this period, she was still clear about this point.
"Mom couldn't control her emotions a bit, Xiao Huan, please forgive her."
Zhang Xianya couldn't hold back her tears, so she simply gave up and let them flow, speaking through sobs.
Xia Yuhuan said in a low voice, "No, we're family, what's there to laugh about?"
Zhang Xianya nodded in response and whispered to Xia Yuhuan, "Xiao Huan, if Yan Zhou recovers this time and wants to return to the army to continue serving, would you be willing to support him?"
Xia Yuhuan: Huh? This question seems to have jumped a bit too fast; she didn't react for a moment.
However, Xia Yuhuan quickly understood the reason for Zhang Xianya's emotions.
The reason Chi Yanzhou was seriously injured this time was because he went on a mission.
After being rescued, he fell into a coma and was drugged, which led to him becoming a vegetable and never waking up.
If Chi Yanzhou recovers and immediately returns to the military, given his position and abilities, he will definitely be assigned to more missions.
Going on a mission means there are risks involved, and this could happen again, no wonder Zhang Xianya is in such a bad mood.
But when asked whether she supported Chi Yanzhou's idea, Xia Yuhuan thought for a moment and didn't lie.
“Mom, if this is Chi Yanzhou’s wish, I think I’m willing to support him,” Xia Yuhuan said earnestly.
People have dreams and aspirations, and they deserve to be respected.
Since Chi Yanzhou's dream is to join the army and protect his country, even though he has already been through several near-death experiences and still wants to go through this ordeal, then he should be allowed to go.
That's his life, so naturally his ideas should take precedence.
Of course, this might also be because she no longer has any feelings for Chi Yanzhou, so she can calmly and objectively view the matter.
After all, concern can cloud judgment. If Chi Yanzhou and she were close and she truly considered him her husband, then she might have made a different choice.
Maybe she's like Zhang Xianya.
So Xia Yuhuan said, "Mom, don't overthink it. Chi Yanzhou has just woken up and still needs rehabilitation and rest. It will take him quite a while to fully recover. What if he changes his mind during this time?"
Zhang Xianya couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.
"It won't change. He's stubborn; once he's made up his mind, it's final, and he won't easily change it. Unless..."
As Zhang Xianya spoke, she suddenly looked at Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan felt uneasy under her gaze and couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
Why is Mom looking at her like that?
It's as if she's some kind of hot commodity.
At this moment, Zhang Xianya grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Xiao Huan, maybe you can do it, maybe you can do it!"
Xia Yuhuan forced a smile. "What can I do?"
This statement came as a surprise and left people scratching their heads.
"If you want Yan Zhou to change his mind, perhaps only you can do it."
Xia Yuhuan stared wide-eyed in shock: "Me? How is this possible? I can't do it."
She shook her head frantically, even thinking that Zhang Xianya was a bit crazy.
She was only nominally Chi Yanzhou's wife; they weren't actually husband and wife.
They hadn't even really spent time together, so there was no real affection between them. How could Chi Yanzhou possibly listen to her?
This is utterly absurd!!!
"No, it's possible. If it were you, you definitely could!" Zhang Xianya insisted on her opinion.
“Yan Zhou never gets close to women, but after he woke up, he accepted you, his wife, very well. He must have fallen in love with you at first sight. He definitely likes you.”
"So Xiao Huan, you are special to him, and perhaps he would be willing to change his mind for you."
Zhang Xianya's eyes were shining as she looked at Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan: "..."
She really wanted to say: "Mom, you're overthinking it. There's no such thing as love at first sight that happens by chance."
However, looking at Zhang Xianya's current stubborn and persistent state, she felt that even if she said this to Zhang Xianya, Zhang Xianya would not believe her.
So we simply avoided the topic.
She said, "Mom, the most important thing right now is Chi Yanzhou's recovery. We're not in a hurry for anything else. Maybe he'll change his mind on his own when the time comes."
She was unwilling to rashly interfere in someone's future life choices and direction.
Everyone has their own destiny and the right to choose the path they want to take. What kind of business is it to meddle in other people's life paths?
Let alone the fact that her relationship with Chi Yanzhou isn't that good now, she doesn't have that ability.
Even if she truly possessed the ability to influence and change Chi Yanzhou's choices, she wouldn't do it.
She might even support Chi Yanzhou's ideas and choices.
If you love someone, respecting them is a prerequisite. If she doesn't even let Chi Yanzhou do what he wants to do, their relationship won't last long.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianya felt that Xia Yuhuan was right and finally stopped insisting.
She sighed and said, "Actually, I used to support Yanzhou in pursuing his dreams, but this accident really scared me. I'm afraid that if something else happens to him, what will his father and I do?"
"Actually, I understand that even if I try to stop him, Yan Zhou won't listen to me."
Zhang Xianya smiled wryly: "I was too anxious about gains and losses."
Xia Yuhuan held her hand, "It's not your fault. Your reaction is normal, it's just human nature."
There's nothing wrong with being overly concerned and letting emotions cloud judgment.
As long as there is something on one's mind, there will be emotions, which will lead to a loss of rationality and bias.
But she had confidence in Zhang Xianya, believing that she was not the kind of person who would resort to extremes to vent her emotions in order to achieve her goals.
Therefore, although Zhang Xianya may not agree with Chi Yanzhou's decision to continue serving in the military, she will ultimately respect and support Chi Yanzhou's own wishes.
But as long as Chi Yanzhou is a soldier, Zhang Xianya will worry about him every day; this is unavoidable.
All I can say is that parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
