Chapter 88 He also had his own selfish motives; it's no wonder she had such a bad mouth.
"Dr. Zhao, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to work at this military hospital," Lin Zhiqing said with delight as soon as she entered the ward.
Zhao Shuyi looked at the other person with a half-smile.
Is that a coincidence?
Could this be a deliberately orchestrated coincidence?
That was a bit too much force.
But the other party didn't say that, only that it was a coincidence, so Zhao Shuyi continued along with her words.
"Zhu Yao and the others came by earlier. Did you come together? Why didn't you come in together?"
Zhao Shuyi was genuinely curious. She must have gotten a referral letter from the brigade headquarters before coming to the military hospital for treatment.
If she had provided a letter of introduction, Zhu Yao and the other two should have known.
So what's going on here?
The other party quickly gave Zhao Shuyi an answer, and she asked in surprise, "Did Yao Yao and the others come? I didn't see them."
"I originally came to Kunming to buy some things, but later I felt a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, so I thought I'd come to the hospital to get checked out. I didn't expect to see you, Dr. Zhao."
Her face was full of surprise, as if she and Zhao Shuyi had a special connection.
Zhao Shuyi didn't refute, but only asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
She clutched her stomach and said, "I've been feeling really uncomfortable in my stomach lately during my period. Dr. Zhao, could you take a look at what's wrong and see if it can be treated?" As she spoke, a sad and distressed expression appeared on her face.
Zhao Shuyi asked her to extend her hand to take her pulse. After a moment, she said, "Your body is fine, there's nothing wrong, just a slight malnutrition. If possible, you can eat some good food to supplement your nutrition."
Upon hearing this, the other person looked troubled and said, "We only became educated youth because our families were poor, so we probably can't make up for anything."
Zhao Shuyi neither agreed nor disagreed.
What does this have to do with her?
"If you can't get enough tonics, you can get some medicine, which can be effective. But it's best to eat your meals regularly and not starve yourself, okay?"
They were about to prescribe her medicine, and their attitude wasn't exactly friendly.
Seeing this, the other person pursed their lips, looking pitiful, and asked, "Dr. Zhao, do you not like me?"
Zhao Shuyi looked at her with some confusion.
The other person quickly explained, "I always feel that you are very cold to me."
Zhao Shuyi found her really funny, and wondered how much she was improvising in her mind, probably thinking that this was a strategic retreat.
Since she had already asked, Zhao Shuyi naturally had to tell her true thoughts.
She confirmed the other person's guess, "Indeed, I don't feel any affinity with you. If I have hurt you, I apologize."
The other person was stunned, clearly not expecting Zhao Shuyi to be so blunt. Their face turned pale and then red, and they couldn't hide their embarrassment.
Zhao Shuyi acted as if she hadn't seen anything and continued, "You still need to get treatment if you're sick. I've prescribed some medicine for you. See if you want to go get it."
He then handed the prescription to the other person.
Lin Zhiqing seemed unable to accept Zhao Shuyi's reaction and immediately squeezed out two tears.
"May I ask why? Did Yao Yao say something to you, Dr. Zhao?"
Zhao Shuyi looked surprised. "Why would you think that? Aren't you good friends?"
Her tone was sincere, and she seemed genuinely curious.
Lin Zhiqing thought she had misunderstood and couldn't help but feel annoyed, as if she had said something wrong again.
But when she looked up, Zhao Shuyi was still staring at her, so she said, "After all, I don't know Dr. Zhao at all, so there's no reason why Dr. Zhao wouldn't like me. Recently, Yao Yao has also been less enthusiastic towards me for some reason. I don't think I've done anything to offend her."
Zhao Shuyi was getting impatient watching her act, but hesitated whether to make things clear, afraid of causing trouble for Zhu Yao.
In the end, she didn't say anything, but just pushed the prescription back into her hands.
"What's between you two has nothing to do with me. Go get your medicine. I don't like you. It's just that we don't click. It has nothing to do with Comrade Zhu Yao."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiqing's face turned even uglier.
"There must be a reason, Dr. Zhao. Don't try to brush me off with the excuse that we just don't click. I admit that I might have been a little too enthusiastic when I met Dr. Zhao that day, but it shouldn't have been enough to make Dr. Zhao dislike me."
Zhao Shuyi nodded.
"I didn't say I hate you, I just don't like you that much."
"If you insist on asking, then I can only say we don't click. What more do you want?"
"Like right now, I've clearly made it obvious I don't want to talk to you, but you still keep pressing me for answers. We don't even have any relationship, so what's the point of you forcing me to answer?"
Her expression was remarkably calm as she spoke, a stark contrast to the other person's furious reaction.
Unfortunately, Zhao Shuyi's words made a lot of sense.
She's just relentlessly bothering others, so it's normal that people don't like her.
Lin Zhiqing's lips twitched, clearly furious, but for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute her. He opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
Seeing that she was sufficiently provoked, Zhao Shuyi said, "Did you come to see me today because you have something else to say? You can just say it."
Upon hearing this, her eyes immediately reddened, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.
If Zhao Shuyi were a man, or someone who cherishes women, he would definitely be comforting her right now.
But Zhao Shuyi continued to look at her calmly, until the other woman could no longer continue her act.
She said, "I originally thought Dr. Zhao was a very approachable person, so I wanted to be friends with him. I didn't expect Dr. Zhao to dislike me so much. I was wrong."
Seeing her sniffling and trying to look strong, Zhao Shuyi said, "You want to be friends with me? It doesn't seem like we're at that stage yet, and I'm not really into making friends. Sorry."
Zhao Shuyi didn't say anything else to her, just that, and the other person fell silent.
She had probably never met anyone like Zhao Shuyi before.
"You want to be friends with me, is there something you want me to help you with?" Zhao Shuyi said.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes flickered slightly, clearly indicating that Zhao Shuyi had seen through her thoughts.
"Does your desire to become friends with me and then befriend my husband mean you want him to help you return to the city, or do you intend to replace him entirely?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiqing's face lit up with terror, and her reaction spoke volumes.
Zhao Shuyi swore that she was just guessing.
Gu Yan previously said that the other person's eyes were very similar to Cai Xiaoyue's. So what was Cai Xiaoyue's purpose in doing this? Wasn't it to use Gu Yan to live a good life?
And it's very likely that she went to seduce Feng Jun for this reason.
Zhao Shuyi was surprised that the other party would come to her door directly, using such a lame excuse as wanting to be friends with her.
"Whether it is or not, my husband and I have a good relationship, and neither of us has the habit of helping people casually, so Lin Zhiqing, you should go back first."
The other person seemed deeply insulted, stamping their foot and saying, "What makes you so great? I just wanted to be friends with you, and you insulted me like this! It's outrageous! Just because you're a doctor, you think you're so great? You look down on people!"
She spoke loudly and then ran away, leaving Zhao Shuyi speechless.
This person is really disgusting. He found her difficult to talk to, so he wanted to plant a landmine for her at the hospital.
Fortunately, Zhao Shuyi has never cared about these things.
People in the hospital know her and what kind of person she is, so they are unlikely to doubt her because of what others say.
In places like hospitals, hard power still matters.
Besides, everyone knows Deputy Regiment Commander Gu, so who would bother her for no reason?
So everyone treated Zhao Shuyi with respect and didn't say a word of gossip. They even showed concern for her.
Zhao Shuyi went back and told Gu Yan about it.
"Although I didn't ask for the answer directly, I could clearly sense that she wanted to be friends with you, not me. You're such a hot commodity!"
Looking at his wife's eyes, Gu Yan knew she was angry, but he was completely innocent.
"It's not my fault."
Zhao Shuyi wasn't really blaming him; she was just venting to him.
"This Lin Zhiqing's methods are actually quite clumsy. I just don't know why Zhu Yao didn't see it before. She's clearly a pretty clever girl."
"She's not stupid. Didn't you say she barely pays attention to Lin Zhiqing?"
Gu Yan started touching her, clearly not wanting his wife to talk about others anymore.
Zhao Shuyi was so captivated by him that she had no time to think about anything else.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yao was sent to the hospital again just a few days later.
"My stomach hurts, Dr. Zhao, could you please take a look?"
"Does your stomach hurt?" Zhao Shuyi quickly asked her to extend her hand so she could take her pulse. "She doesn't seem to have any problems. What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhu Yao said, "I'd like to speak with you alone, Dr. Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun hesitated, but he still obediently left the ward.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuyi's heart skipped a beat. Before Feng Jun could leave, she asked her question directly.
Did he do something to wrong you?
Feng Jun paused, but because of the look Zhu Yao gave him, he left the ward immediately.
After he left, Zhao Shuyi quietly asked Zhu Yao, and she poured her a cup of water with spiritual spring water added.
Zhu Yao took the water and subconsciously took a sip. She noticed that Dr. Zhao seemed to really like drinking water, but she couldn't refuse his kindness.
"Dr. Zhao, you guessed right. I did notice that Lin Zhiqing was acting very strangely. I don't know why she had those feelings for Feng Jun."
“I’ve already told Feng Jun about her situation, and he promised to stay away from her. But today I saw the two of them talking together again, and I felt a bit unwell in my stomach. Am I overthinking this?”
Zhao Shuyi frowned.
"No, since we've determined she's not a good person, staying away from her is the right thing to do. Did you ask Feng Jun and the others why they were talking?"
Feng Jun said it was nothing.
"You think there's something wrong with him?"
Zhu Yao shook her head.
“He should be fine, but I don’t want him to keep everything from me.”
“If you don’t want it, then just tell him directly that this isn’t an illness and I can’t cure it.”
Zhao Shuyi felt that being a doctor wasn't easy; she was almost like a village auntie. But if she switched roles and saw herself as a village auntie, the commotion would actually be more interesting.
Zhu Yao was a little embarrassed: "Am I troubling you too much?"
Zhao Shuyi said, "No, I'll just treat it as entertainment."
Her directness surprised Zhu Yao, making her even more embarrassed.
Zhao Shuyi: "I want to advise you that these kinds of things should be discussed between husband and wife. I'm sure Feng Jun is definitely in the wrong. Since you say he has no ulterior motives, you must believe him and won't blame him, so go and ask him."
Zhu Yao nodded.
"I understand, thank you, Dr. Zhao. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with my health? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my stomach lately, so I took this opportunity to come and get checked out."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyi understood somewhat; she was probably using the opportunity of coming to the military hospital to warn Feng Jun.
She's a smart girl.
"As long as you take good care of yourself as I told you before, there won't be any problems. Don't worry too much."
She thanked Zhao Shuyi again before hurriedly leaving.
When she went outside and saw Feng Jun, her expression was still not very good.
"How is it? What did Doctor Zhao say? Is your stomach alright?"
"Dr. Zhao said I'm too preoccupied, which isn't good for the baby."
Feng Jun frowned: "You really shouldn't think too much. Our family is fine now, you're fine, the baby is fine, there's nothing for you to worry about."
"As for that Lin educated youth, she just came over to talk to me, but she didn't really say anything, and I won't get close to her."
Feng Jun looked at Zhu Yao, and his eyes flickered when they met.
Feng Jun couldn't help but sigh.
"I was worried you were overthinking it, that's why I didn't tell you."
“I only start to overthink things if you don’t tell me,” Zhu Yao said.
“You’re doing translation now, and if you touch on foreign languages, you can easily get arrested. She said if we don’t give her a spot for worker-peasant-soldier students, she’ll report you.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yao laughed angrily: "Do you believe that the moment you give her the spot for worker-peasant-soldier students, she will report me, and not only me, but also my whole family?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun realized that what Zhu Yao said was true; the other party was indeed a troublemaker.
"Forget it, let's ask Dr. Zhao for help instead."
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to bother Dr. Zhao again?"
"Dr. Zhao is a kind-hearted person. If she didn't want to help, she wouldn't have reminded me before. We'll bring her some more eggs later."
Although she is now pregnant and needs to eat eggs, her family is well-off and they are not worried about not being able to save enough to give to Dr. Zhao.
Just as Zhao Shuyi was getting ready to leave work, she saw the couple return. She was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Zhu Yao cut to the chase, "Comrade Zhao, I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"
Zhao Shuyi immediately became serious and asked, "What kind of help do you need? Tell me first, and I'll see if I can do it."
Do you remember when you ran into me at the bookstore before?
Zhao Shuyi nodded. At that time, Zhu Yao and the manager were talking, and it seemed that they were going to do some translation work.
Zhu Yao said, "As you know, things are very tense outside right now, and there are many things we can't do. But I have a long-term partnership with the bookstore, and I don't want to lose this job."
"But Lin, the educated youth, said she was going to report me."
"I was wondering if I could ask Deputy Regiment Commander Gu to help me find out what kind of situation this educated youth Lin had back in his hometown?"
"I want to find out more about her background so I can prepare a response in advance."
The information they had about Lin Zhiqing was only the most superficial. Judging from her arrival at the brigade, she was quite popular. Logically speaking, someone with her personality shouldn't have come to the countryside.
Now that she's been sent to the countryside, she wants a worker-peasant-soldier quota and wants to go back. It all seems a bit strange.
Therefore, Zhu Yao wanted to investigate her family situation. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Zhao Shuyi frowned and pondered for a while.
"I can have him investigate for you, but he might not be able to find out anything useful, and I don't know when he'll be able to find out. You should make plans as soon as possible. Also, your job doesn't seem very secure right now. You might want to consider taking some time to work out."
Hearing this, Zhu Yao's expression wasn't very pleasant, but she still nodded, "I will, thank you, Dr. Zhao."
"It's okay, but your most important task right now is to take good care of the baby in your belly. Since you both know that something is wrong with each other, try to avoid each other for the time being. Or if you think she's too idle, you can find her something to do, but don't make it too obvious, you understand?"
Of course they understand. They've lived in the village for so long, how could they not understand these intricacies?
After they came to their senses, they thanked Zhao Shuyi again, but Zhao Shuyi didn't need their thanks and let them leave.
Even though there were relatively few patients this afternoon, Zhao Shuyi still felt a bit tired when she got back.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yan quickly stepped forward: "What's wrong? Why are you so tired? Go and get some rest."
After hearing about Zhu Yao's situation, Gu Yan said, "Isn't she a translator? I don't know how good her translation skills are. If they are, perhaps we could have her come to the army. We happen to have some translation work that requires someone. However, if she comes, she might not be able to go home often. You can ask her if she's willing. Of course, she has to pass the assessment first."
Zhao Shuyi frowned. "Is this alright? Will it affect you?"
"No, her sister is Zhu Yi, so there shouldn't be any problem. Besides, I'm just making a recommendation; the specifics still need to be reviewed by the leaders."
"Okay, then I'll go and tell her when the time comes. She's pregnant now, so she might not agree."
Gu Yan remained noncommittal.
"So it's just a favor, whether it works or not depends on her."
He mainly didn't want his wife to think too much.
"I'll also check on that Lin Zhiqing. She might really have some problems, but I don't know exactly what they are. Let's try to avoid contact with her."
Zhao Shuyi hadn't originally intended to contact the other party; Gu Yan just needed to keep that in mind.
She felt that the other party also couldn't get in touch with Gu Yan, so she had to see how Zhu Yao fared.
Translation was also an opportunity for Zhu Yao, mainly because there was still so much time before this catastrophe ended, and doing translation herself was always a risky business. It was right to have a backup plan.
Two days later, Zhao Shuyi saw Zhu Yao again.
Gu Yan led the delegation to discuss the matter, and after their family discussed it, they sent Zhu Yao over.
Actually, they were a little worried about Zhu Yao's current health, but helping the organization might be more secure. The only problem was that her family couldn't see Zhu Yao often.
For the sake of the child, for the sake of Zhu Yao, their whole family is willing.
Zhu Yao had already agreed, but she came to Zhao Shuyi's place again, clearly she had something to say.
Are you worried that Feng Jun will do something to betray you while you're not around?
Zhu Yao: "To be honest, it would be a lie to say I'm not worried at all, but I've thought it through these past few days. If someone is determined to leave, you can't stop them no matter what. If he still can't protect himself or control himself after I've clearly told him so, then I have nothing more to say."
"There are still many things I can do, and perhaps I should do something meaningful."
She pursed her lips, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Zhao Shuyi didn't know what she was thinking, but she respected her decision.
"Don't worry, Gu Yan said that your safety is guaranteed this time you come to the army, and there won't be any problems with the child. It might even be a good thing for you, and Lin Zhiqing won't affect you either."
Zhao Shuyi told her about the other party's visit to her last time.
Zhu Yao was shocked.
"She came to see you again?"
“After you left that day, she asked me a lot about you and Deputy Commander Gu. But because I didn’t know Deputy Commander Gu, I didn’t tell her much. Now it seems that she probably already had ideas back then.”
Zhu Yao's face showed a particularly disgusted expression, "She really knows how to think!"
And so, Zhu Yao followed Gu Yan into the army to help with tasks. Feng Jun was clearly very reluctant to let her go, but in the end, he could only watch helplessly as Zhu Yao left.
As for Lin Zhiqing, Zhao Shuyi hadn't heard from her for a long time, so she put the matter out of her mind.
Zhao Shuyi asked about Zhu Yao's situation several times, and Gu Yan always said that the other party was doing well. This earned Zhao Shuyi a lot of jealousy, so she stopped asking.
Gu Yan is such a nuisance. He gets jealous of the slightest thing, regardless of age or gender. Has he forgotten that he's already a father?
Gu Yan returned home rather late that day. By the time he arrived, Zhao Shuyi had already eaten dinner.
Seeing that he was tired, Zhao Shuyi pulled him into the space.
Gu Yan's favorite feature is the space's preservation function. Whenever he cooks food outside, as long as he puts it in the space, it will still be piping hot whenever he comes to eat it.
He thought, if only this space could be mass-produced, then when they went on missions, each of them could carry one of these spaces, which would be both safe and ensure supplies.
Unfortunately, such an incredible thing is impossible for him to even possess, let alone mass-produce.
If it were anyone else, he probably would have dragged Zhao Shuyi to join the army and go on missions with him.
Unfortunately, Zhao Shuyi is his wife, and he also has his own selfish reasons. He can't bear to let his wife take any risks, so he can only take care of their little family.
Zhao Shuyi was reading a book when she noticed him staring at her while eating. Somewhat speechless, she asked, "Why are you staring at me like that? Haven't you seen enough? You keep staring at me all day long."
Gu Yan said, "How could my wife possibly get enough of looking at it? Ye Xuedong brought me some news today."
Hearing this, Zhao Shuyi looked up from her book and asked, "Is something the matter? Is something wrong with Sister Li Qian?"
Gu Yan pursed his lips and said, "I guess so."
"What do you mean by 'consider it'? If something's wrong, then something's wrong; if nothing's wrong, then nothing's wrong. What exactly happened?"
"It's nothing serious. He just said that Li Qian seems to be in a bad mood lately and wants her to come to Chuncheng to play with you for a few days. I also have to go on a mission, so I asked her to come to the house and keep you company."
Zhao Shuyi was overjoyed.
"Really? Let her come! I really want to hang out with Sister Li Qian. Plus, she's a great cook. With her around, I'll be able to eat some really delicious food. But why is Sister Li Qian in a bad mood? Did you ask her why?"
Gu Yan, of course, couldn't ask; he shook his head.
Zhao Shuyi said, "Then hurry up and let them come over."
However, seeing how happy she was, Gu Yan felt a pang of jealousy. "You really want me to do a mission that badly?"
Zhao Shuyi gave a wry smile.
"Why are you so jealous over this? You're not doing missions every day, it's just a rare occasion. What's wrong with me spending time with Sister Li Qian?"
Gu Yan sneered, but did not refute her words. However, after they finished eating and washing up, when the two were lying in bed, the man began to settle accounts.
Now that they had space, Gu Yan began to unleash his true nature. Sometimes he would pull her outside the house and start touching her inappropriately. Although they both knew that no one was watching, Zhao Shuyi was still extremely ashamed.
Fortunately, she had trained with Gu Yan, which saved her from disaster.
However, once in bed, Gu Yan showed no mercy to Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi was also helpless about this; men really are not to be trifled with.
Li Qian arrived in Chuncheng the day after Gu Yan started his mission.
Zhao Shuyi took a day off to accompany her. Judging from Li Qian's demeanor, she didn't seem to be in a bad mood, so she didn't ask directly.
Later, Li Qian and Xia Mulan helped her with housework and childcare, which made Zhao Shuyi feel much more relaxed.
But after only two days, she also noticed that something was wrong with the other person.
Li Qian was doing something, and as she did it, she began to drift off into a daze.
Although Zhao Shuyi discovered that she seemed to have this problem before, it seemed to have become more serious recently.
"Sister Li Qian?"
Li Qian then realized what was wrong. "What's wrong? I was thinking about something else." She smiled a little shyly, revealing a dimple at the corner of her mouth, which made her look particularly young.
"I called you just now, but you didn't hear me. What were you thinking about?" Zhao Shuyi asked jokingly.
Li Qian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly got lost in thought, sorry."
Zhao Shuyi laughed and said, "You're not thinking about Company Commander Ye, are you? It's only been a few days since we separated."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's movements suddenly froze, then an embarrassed expression appeared on her face, followed by a very complicated look in her eyes. She lowered her eyes, not letting Zhao Shuyi see.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuyi realized that the other party's troubles might be related to Ye Xuedong.
As she pondered, she guessed what it was about, but she wasn't sure if she was right. She simply asked, based on her guess, "Sister Li Qian, how are you and Company Commander Ye doing now?"
Asking this question before was considered gossip, but now it feels like prying into someone's privacy. Zhao Shuyi wasn't too comfortable with that, so she lowered her head and went about her business, pretending that she was just asking casually.
As a result, the other party remained silent for quite some time.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
This time, Li Qian answered quickly, saying, "No problem, everything is fine."
Her eyes darted away, completely avoiding Zhao Shuyi's gaze.
Zhao Shuyi pressed her advantage, saying, "That's great. How so? Is there any progress in your relationship?"
Li Qian tried to dodge even more.
It seems to be a problem in their relationship.
"Is it that you can't tell me? I'm sorry."
Zhao Shuyi thought about it and ultimately decided not to mention that Ye Xuedong had asked them for help, mainly because she didn't know the details.
Li Qian then said, "Actually, it's nothing. I went outside to exchange mushrooms and accidentally ate the wrong kind."
Zhao Shuyi was shocked. "Are you alright? Let me check your pulse."
In fact, Zhao Shuyi had already taken Li Qian's pulse as soon as she arrived, and at that time, her pulse was perfectly normal.
It was Zhao Shuyi's habit to take Li Qian's pulse whenever they met.
As expected, after another check-up, Li Qian was still fine and had recovered completely, but she was still able to get poisoned by eating mushrooms.
"How could they be poisoned?"
"Didn't we identify those mushrooms together before?"
Li Qian explained, "Dr. Wang said that there might be poisonous mushrooms mixed in, but there weren't many."
"I was indeed feeling a bit unwell before, but I'm all better now."
Seeing Zhao Shuyi's expression, Li Qian added with a flicker in her eyes, "Yes, it's the poison I was given; it's rather special."
Zhao Shuyi blinked, as if she had thought of something.
"Sister Li Qian, you're not hallucinating, are you? You're not doing something you shouldn't be doing, are you?"
Li Qian's face immediately turned red.
Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like something that shouldn't have been done, but rather something that one wouldn't normally dare to do.
"You slept with Company Commander Ye?"
Zhao Shuyi's words were surprising and startled Li Qian.
Li Qian quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, no, no."
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Sister Li Qian, don't be nervous. You two are husband and wife. Even if you two slept together, it's not strange at all."
"No," Li Qian denied again.
"Okay, okay, no, no. So what did you do?"
Li Qian hesitated for a moment, and Zhao Shuyi waited patiently for her to finish speaking. Then she said, "I...I kissed him."
She spoke very softly; if Zhao Shuyi hadn't had good hearing, she wouldn't have heard her at all.
Zhao Shuyi still wanted to say that it wasn't a big deal, since they were husband and wife, but she didn't say it.
Don't they know they're a married couple?
Zhao Shuyi felt that things probably wouldn't be that simple; this was just the beginning. If things went smoothly, the couple wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.
She asked tentatively, "And then what was Company Commander Ye's reaction? What did he say?"
Li Qian felt a little shy at first, then became strange.
“He said he would take responsibility for me, but I didn’t want him to. He probably liked Qian Zhaodi at first, but he quickly divorced her because of my family issues and then married me.”
"I...I'm a little afraid of getting too close to him now."
She spoke somewhat hesitantly, and Zhao Shuyi didn't quite understand her concerns.
So Zhao Shuyi put down what she was doing and talked to the other party about the matter seriously.
"Sister Li Qian, are you worried that he will treat you like the old man did, or are you worried that he will treat you like he treated Qian Zhaodi?"
Zhao Shuyi suddenly realized that if she considered Ye Xuedong from this perspective, he seemed to be a really bad person.
However, after spending time with him, Ye Xuedong didn't seem like a bad person.
Li Qian's face clearly showed her conflicted expression.
"I...I don't know either. It's probably a combination of both. Am I being too ungrateful? After all, he saved me."
"It's not your fault. You're a victim too. You've suffered so much harm in the past, it's normal to have some post-traumatic stress reaction."
Zhao Shuyi felt that their situation wasn't so bad, and she suspected that Li Qian was also interested in Ye Xuedong.
So she thought for a moment and said, "If Company Commander Ye wanted to divorce you, Sister Li Qian, and marry another woman, how would you feel, Sister Li Qian?"
Li Qian said, "I would definitely be willing to grant his wish."
Zhao Shuyi guessed that this was her reaction. In fact, Li Qian seemed to have said something similar before. Only she knew what she was really thinking.
"Then let me ask you another question. If Company Commander Ye goes out on a mission and comes back with a broken arm or leg, Sister Li Qian, would you still be willing to live with him?"
Li Qian frowned. "Of course, I will stay by his side. He has helped me and is my benefactor."
“Sister Li Qian,” Zhao Shuyi said earnestly, “Don’t suppress your feelings. Life is really hard. We may encounter all kinds of disasters. It’s not easy to meet someone who is truly good to you.”
"Don't wait until you lose something to regret it. Cherishing the present is more important than anything else. You've been through so much, you should understand things better now."
When Zhao Shuyi said those words, I clearly saw Li Qian frown, obviously not wanting to hear her say that Ye Xuedong might be in trouble.
"It's truly remarkable that two people can overcome countless difficulties to come together."
"Sister Li Qian, perhaps you could just go and ask him how he feels. To put it bluntly, you're already married to him. Even if he's a bad person, once you find out his true colors, just kick him to the curb, wouldn't that be better?"
"But if he's the one you want, wouldn't you be sad if you pushed him away?"
"Actually, we could all see from the beginning that Company Commander Ye treated Sister Li Qian very well."
"Although, according to you, he was initially kind to you out of gratitude for your family's kindness, ask yourself honestly, after all this time, haven't you felt any remorse from him?"
Li Qian fell silent, and Zhao Shuyi did not disturb her.
"Think it over carefully first. By the way, it was actually Company Commander Ye's idea to call you over this time. He noticed you were unhappy, so he asked you to come and talk to us. He has always been concerned about you. Sister Li Qian, you can face up to the relationship between you two, and also face up to your own heart."
Hearing this, Li Qian was clearly stunned. She obviously did not expect Ye Xuedong to do these things for her.
"I understand, I'll think about it carefully."
They've already explained things so clearly, and they genuinely have feelings for each other; the misunderstanding should be resolved.
Zhao Shuyi didn't interfere much; they were all adults and should have their own ideas.
I just didn't expect that they would go on a mission and not return for more than half a month.
They couldn't even think about love and romance anymore; they were all worried about their men.
Even Zhao Shuyi was unaware that she had the potential to be such a jinx.
The day they returned, Gu Yan rushed to Zhao Shuyi's office and asked her to go and see Ye Xuedong.
"Ye Xuedong has multiple fractures, and I need you to help see if they can be repaired."
Physical fitness is extremely important for soldiers, especially for Ye Xuedong. He climbed his way up step by step through his own efforts, and he doesn't have any family connections. It would be a pity if he had to retire due to poor health.
So I hope Zhao Shuyi can help me.
Zhao Shuyi knew about the other party's situation. Although she was confident, she still frowned and followed Gu Yan out.
How did he get injured?
Gu Yan said, "She fell from the building."
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but gasp.
"He only had a fracture, so he's lucky to be alive. He should be able to be saved."
Gu Yan pursed his lips, knowing what Zhao Shuyi meant.
Zhao Shuyi wants to use the spiritual spring water.
"Isn't that too risky?"
"Are you sure there are no other internal injuries besides the fracture?" Zhao Shuyi asked. "If it's just a fracture, it depends on the individual's physical condition. As long as the physical condition is good, it can be recovered."
"It's not just him; it depends on the examination results. Ordinary people could also recover."
Hearing this, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems not, but he has a hole in his head and bled a little. The doctor said it's a concussion, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhao Shuyi hummed in agreement.
"If there are no other problems, it should be fine, but I still need to get it checked out. If it's too serious, it might not be possible."
With Ye Xuedong's current qualifications, although his retirement from the military will certainly not be as good as his service, he will at least receive some subsidies.
Moreover, he was injured during a mission, so Zhao Shuyi wasn't too nervous.
Gu Yan was anxious because the other party was his good friend. If it didn't work out, he certainly wouldn't force Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi went to check on him and found him lying on the bed wrapped up tightly, looking quite pitiful.
Li Qian arrived at this time as well; it was clear that Gu Yan had asked her to come with him first.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked very distressed.
When Zhao Shuyi saw Li Qian's appearance, she felt inexplicably uneasy. It's no wonder she had such a bad reputation; she had only wanted to offer some advice.
Because of her own tendency to jinx things, Zhao Shuyi needed to treat the other person even more.
Ye Xuedong was lucky to survive. Zhao Shuyi carefully examined him and found that, just as Gu Yan had said, he had fractures in his hands, feet, and ribs, but fortunately, no vital parts were injured. As long as he took good care of himself, there was a possibility of recovery.
The head injury he sustained is not serious; he just needs to rest and recover.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhao Shuyi's words.
For the next period of time, Li Qian often accompanied Ye Xuedong at the hospital, and Zhao Shuyi could always sense the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between the two whenever she came.
Looking at Ye Xuedong's silly, first-love-like expression, Zhao Shuyi thought that if he had to choose between suffering such an injury and still not being able to talk things out with Li Qian, he would probably rather suffer such an injury.
She seems to be a hopeless romantic.
Why is everyone around her so love-obsessed?
However, if you meet the right person, being a love-struck person might not be so bad.
The two became closer because of an injury, and Zhao Shuyi stopped getting in the way as often.
Because Gu Yan returned, Li Qian didn't go home to stay. She slept at the hospital instead, only occasionally borrowing Zhao Shuyi's kitchen to cook various delicious meals for Ye Xuedong. Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan also benefited from this.
