After all, they are a couple in free love. Tan Siqi and Fang Xiuli have a harmonious relationship and understand each other.
He knew that Fang Xiuli had been a favored girl since childhood, with an arrogant and stubborn personality, just like a rose with thorns, but Fang Xiuli was kind-hearted, otherwise Tan Siqi would not have liked her.
But wrong is wrong, and Fang Xiuli was extremely wrong.
Tan Siqi felt that he was also responsible. If he had not always indulged Fang Xiuli, but had persuaded Fang Xiuli to change her temper earlier, perhaps the situation would not be like this now.
He still took Fang Xiuli's self-esteem into consideration, fearing that Fang Xiuli would not be able to lower her head, so when he spoke out, he said "we were wrong" instead of just "Fang Xiuli was wrong", putting the responsibility on himself, hoping that Fang Xiuli would feel better.
Tan Siqi held Fang Xiuli's hand gently all the time, staring at her eyes which were getting redder and redder, and he had to mention another thing.
"Xiu Li, there is something I have not told you because of my concern for your relationship with Comrade He. Now I must explain it to you clearly.
"What about Meijiao?" Fang Xiuli's pupils trembled uneasily when she heard He Meijiao's name.
She had always thought that Chu Yue had forced He Meijiao away by using dirty and despicable means, otherwise why would He Meijiao suddenly leave and not even answer her calls?
But so many things happened today that her mood went up and down like a roller coaster.
If the previous incident was a misunderstanding, then was He Meijiao’s incident also a misunderstanding?
Fang Xiuli was terrified in her heart, especially after seeing that Tan Siqi's expression was obviously abnormal, she became even more nervous.
She was nervous, but couldn't move her fingers, so she just shook them in Tan Siqi's palm.
Tan Siqi held Fang Xiuli's hand tightly, lowered his head and said to Tan Rourou, "Rou Rou, what mom and dad are going to say next is not suitable for you to listen to. Go sit outside for a while, and dad will call you in later."
Tan Rourou looked at Fang Xiuli worriedly, then climbed down from the hospital bed, shaking her two braids.
She looked at Fang Xiuli, then at Tan Siqi, raised her chin and said, "Hurry up, I want to come in and accompany my mother."
The proud little princess was rarely obedient and walked out of the ward after being comforted by Tan Siqi.
Tan Siqi sat down next to Fang Xiuli again and said, "I didn't know about Comrade He's affairs at first. It was Captain Lu who came to me today and told me specifically."
Obviously, the reason why Lu Zhanlin did this was because he heard what happened in the compound, and he wanted to clear up Chu Yue's misunderstanding.
"This story all started on the night of the Lantern Festival..."
Tan Siqi spoke slowly and told him everything that He Meijiao had done.
Fang Xiuli was shocked when she heard this. Her lips opened, but it felt like something was blocking her throat and she couldn't utter a word.
Drugged! He Meijiao actually drugged! In the military camp!
Doesn't she know that's a violation of discipline?
She must be crazy! Crazy! For Lu Zhanlin, she even gave up her innocence and future as a girl!
Tan Siqi saw Fang Xiuli's reaction and said, "Xiuli... don't be nervous. Doctor Hao said that what you need most now is to relax and breathe slowly. If you get nervous, your chest will hurt again."
Fang Xiuli tried to calm down and asked, "Really?"
"It's true. Commander He investigated it himself, so it can't be faked." Tan Siqi looked at Fang Xiuli and said, "Xiu Li, you know the severity of this matter. What Comrade He did should have been publicly criticized and reported to the entire army. But if she did so, Comrade He's life would be ruined, and she would never be able to hold her head up. It was because of Commander He's plea that Commander Lu and Comrade Chu agreed to keep it secret. In addition, Commander Lu's other request was that He Meijiao take off her military uniform and leave the army."
Tan Siqi said it very clearly, this was Lu Zhanlin's request and had nothing to do with Chu Yue.
Tan Siqi continued, "Only a few people knew about this matter, including Commander He, Commander Lu, Comrade Chu, and Captain Xu who accidentally saw it. None of them told anyone. If it weren't for what happened between you and Comrade Chu today, I wouldn't know about it."
In other words, those who were hurt by He Meijiao have been trying to protect her reputation so as not to let a girl be left with nowhere to go because of shame.
Chu Yue knew all of this, but when she tried to make things difficult for He Meijiao in the name of being He Meijiao's friend, Chu Yue said nothing and never explained herself.
After Fang Xiuli understood all this, tears of regret flowed from her eyes.
She was wrong... She was so wrong...
Tan Siqi did not comfort her any further and let Fang Xiuli vent her emotions. Instead, he walked over to open the door and called Tan Rourou in.
Tan Rourou reentered the ward and saw Fang Xiuli crying even more sadly. The little girl stamped her feet and shouted to Tan Siqi, "Dad, why did you make Mom cry again!"
She climbed onto the hospital bed and came close to Fang Xiuli, "Mom, don't cry, I will go to school on time, I will never be late again, I will no longer complain about school, I will be obedient, don't cry, don't cry! Rourou will be obedient."
Tan Rourou's small handkerchief wiped the tears from Fang Xiuli's face over and over again.
But the tears on Fang Xiuli's face would not stop, and the right side of her face fell more than the left side, like a faucet being turned on, splashing.
No, this is not right.
Tan Rourou held Fang Xiuli's face in her little hands, looked to the left, then to the right, and then burst into tears.
“Dad, it’s bad! The right side of Mom’s face is broken! She can’t move! Wow wow wow, Dad—”
…
On the other side, in the courtyard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of hammers hitting each other.
Lu Zhanlin, who had just returned from the military camp, took off his military jacket and was repairing the gate of the yard.
Every sister-in-law who passed by their house and saw this scene would smile awkwardly, because the door was kicked crooked by the angry Fang Xiuli.
According to Chu Yue, whoever broke the door should repair it. She still wanted to see Fang Xiuli squatting at her doorstep and repairing the wooden door for her.
But when I thought about the fact that Fang Xiuli was already in the ward and her life was almost lost, I just gave up on it.
Otherwise Fang Xiuli would faint again in their house and have to be rescued, which would be even more laborious.
Besides… watching Lu Zhanlinxiu was also quite enjoyable.
It should be said that the man held the heavy hammer with his strong arms, his biceps bulged from the effort, and the thin military shirt was tight, revealing not only the lines of his arms, but also his shoulders, back, and waist and abdomen tied tightly with a belt...
