As she spoke, she walked over and gently patted the man's arm, gesturing with her fingers.
The man then slowly turned around.
When his face came into full view, Zhou Qiqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body froze!
That face... that face actually bore a striking resemblance to Shen Huaichuan and Shen Huaiyue, about seven or eight points.
Especially the lines of the brow bone and the bridge of the nose, they are almost like they were carved from the same mold!
Zhou Qiqi felt her heart suddenly race and asked anxiously, "Sir, what...what is your name?"
Before the man could speak, Awen became excited and spoke rapidly:
“My father rescued him from the border battlefield ten years ago! He was badly wounded at the time, shrapnel hit his head, and he can’t remember anything from before! We named him Ah Shan! Do you know him?! Do you know who he was before?!”
On the battlefield! Ten years ago!
The combination of these keywords stunned Zhou Qiqi.
Based on all this, she was almost 80% certain that the calm and weathered man in front of her was Shen Huaishan, the eldest brother of the Shen family who had been missing for ten years!
The man's dignified bearing, and his striking resemblance to the Shen Huaichuan brothers, were truly convincing!
Zhou Qiqi took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Forgetting all etiquette, she stepped forward, grabbed Ah Shan's (or rather, Shen Huaishan's) arm, and said urgently, "You! Come with me!"
Ah Shan, who was usually quite indifferent to women other than Ah Wen, showed no resistance at this moment.
As if some unseen force was pulling him along, he was unknowingly led by Zhou Qiqi towards the military hospital.
Seeing this, Awen followed along, full of doubt.
Without stopping for a moment, Zhou Qiqi pulled the man straight to the VIP ward area on the third floor of the military hospital.
The entire Shen family, young and old, gathered in the corridor outside the ward, their faces filled with excitement.
In the ward, the doctor was giving Shen Huaiyue and Weiwei a thorough examination.
Qin Peilan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Zhou Qiqi at a glance. Before Zhou Qiqi had even fully turned around, Qin Peilan rushed over excitedly, grabbed her hand, and her voice choked with emotion:
"Qiqi! You're back! This is amazing news! Just now... just now Huaiyue and Weiwei... they reacted! Their fingers twitched!"
Shen Zhenbang, his eyes also red, leaned closer, his voice trembling:
"Yes! Zhouzhou called Weiwei 'Mom,' and Huaichuan put the fried dough we brought under Huaiyue's nose so he could smell it... Both of them twitched their eyelids and fingers slightly!"
Shen Huaichuan choked up a little, "Qiqi, really! Second brother and sister-in-law..."
He waved the fried dough in his hand, somewhat speechless.
Although it was only a very slight reaction, it was still much better than no reaction at all!
The doctor's initial examination just now said that the two people might have a chance to wake up. Now, more detailed examinations are being conducted.
"Great! This is wonderful!"
Zhou Qiqi didn't expect that she would receive such good news after only being gone for a short while, which made her even more eager to share her good news.
"Dad, Mom, Huaichuan, I also have good news to tell you."
Zhou Qiqi's voice trembled as she gently pushed the man who had been following her forward, "Look! Look who this is?!"
All eyes then turned to the unfamiliar man beside Zhou Qiqi.
When Shen Huaichuan saw Zhou Qiqi tugging at his sleeve, his brows furrowed instinctively.
But the moment he saw that face clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and the fried dough in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
His mouth was open, his eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
The two elders of the Shen family were frozen in place, staring intently at that face.
Qin Peilan began to tremble all over. She staggered forward, reaching out her trembling hand, wanting to touch him but not daring to. Finally, she hugged the man tightly and burst into tears.
"Huaishan! Is this my Huaishan? My son! My son! You're still alive! You're still alive!!"
Shen Zhenbang was also in tears, his hands trembling violently. He moved over step by step, stroking his son's face, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Ah Shan," who was being held tightly, was still in a complete blank and couldn't recognize the family in front of him at all.
But for some reason, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
He awkwardly reached out and gently patted Qin Peilan's back, as if it were an instinct.
Just then, a loud "bang" suddenly rang out in the dark night sky outside the window, and a dazzling firework burst into bloom, illuminating the family who were embracing and weeping in the ward.
Then, more fireworks rose into the sky one after another, their colorful lights streaming through the windows and filling the room.
Every household is lit up, bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new.
For the Shen family, this New Year is not only a passing of years, but also a belated reunion.
Zhou Qiqi gently took Shen Huaichuan's hand.
Her life, like the fireworks outside the window, will be brilliant and fulfilling.
