Chapter 26 She felt it was dangerous. "I'll be good to you."...
Zhao Shuyi is not someone who can't keep things to herself.
Moreover, she felt that Xiao Liang's matter should not be a secret, so she asked about her doubts while they were walking on the street.
Gu Yan was not surprised that she had guessed his thoughts.
"It's not just their family; I've contacted several families, and we're still considering it for now."
"May I ask, Commander Tao, is it because they are unable to have children?"
Gu Yan shook his head. "I'm not sure. If you were Company Commander Xia, what would you choose?"
Zhao Shuyi quickly found the answer.
"Since we've decided to separate, of course it's impossible for me to have a child with him."
“That’s right, and Dr. Wang said that if Company Commander Xia continues like this, giving birth would be very dangerous for her.”
Pregnancy is not something that can be achieved simply by a man and a woman getting together. The mother's body needs many other conditions to carry the baby to term, and being bedridden for a long time is indeed very dangerous.
"So Commander Tao is also unwilling to have children."
It's estimated that the two of them won't even have a marital relationship.
Zhao Shuyi understood where the difficulty lay in this matter.
"Company Commander Xia may not be willing to adopt a child."
Given Xia's current situation, she probably doesn't want to have any contact with people at all.
She might feel that bringing her child into her life is just a way to suffer.
"Yes, so I'm still discussing it with them." This matter is clearly giving Gu Yan some headaches, and he gets a little less enthusiastic every time he talks about it.
"Don't worry, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, as agreed."
“I’m not in a hurry. Actually, I wouldn’t mind if you adopted Xiao Liang. I said the other day that I’m willing to do what I can for those heroes, as long as you’re not the kind of person who spoils children.”
Gu Yan is helping her through this difficult time, so it's not a problem for her to give a little. At worst, they can just part ways in ten years.
Gu Yan remained silent, his gaze towards her slightly strange, as if he were probing whether what she said was true.
Zhao Shuyi didn't notice the subtle emotion he was hiding.
"You may not know me well. Although I am not someone who will take a beating, I will never provoke others, let alone bully a child."
She really wanted to say that she didn't want to have a child with him, let alone that she would treat a poor child badly because of her own child.
But she felt she shouldn't say those words.
“I’m not doubting you, I’m just not sure if I can be a good father to raise a child, so I don’t want to adopt him for the time being, it’s not your fault.”
He repeated, "It's my fault."
"Let's go quickly, aren't you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Shuyi hadn't thought of it until he mentioned it, and now that he did, her neck started to itch.
Zhao Shuyi instinctively tried to scratch, but he grabbed her hand.
"Don't scratch, we'll be there soon."
Zhao Shuyi could tell that he was changing the subject.
She thought about the things about Gu Yan mentioned in the book and in the original owner's memories.
It seems that his grandfather was mentioned more than his parents.
I've been here for two days, and he hasn't mentioned his family once.
Could it be that there's something wrong with his family of origin?
Zhao Shuyi didn't ask any more questions. They weren't familiar with each other anyway, so she just told them what the other person wanted to say.
She didn't need to persuade the other party to raise the child.
Judging from how much the other party values the child, he will definitely choose a good adoptive family for the child.
You won't have to worry about it.
The two arrived at the clinic quickly.
When Dr. Wang saw the two of them, he was somewhat surprised.
How is the child?
"The child is fine. Dr. Wang, could you take a look at Shuyi? She's also having an allergic reaction."
Doctor Wang frowned, his expression turning serious. "Did the child get it?"
"No, no." Zhao Shuyi waved her hands repeatedly, not wanting the child to misunderstand. "I was just scratching wood with him when I started to feel itchy."
Dr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, took her pulse, and asked her what she had eaten before saying, "That child is probably allergic to peanuts, but allergies don't necessarily mean allergies to just one thing, so we must be careful when preparing food for him in the future."
"What about Shuyi?" Gu Yan asked nervously.
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "I don't see any problem. It's just that her skin is too delicate, and the itching is caused by the wood chips. She just came from the north, so it's normal for her to have some water and soil incompatibility. Just keep her dry and clean, and there shouldn't be any problems."
The doctor didn't even prescribe any medicine.
Zhao Shuyi: "Thank you, Dr. Wang."
Actually, she herself felt that there didn't seem to be any major problems.
She used to have urticaria, and the itching from that allergy was different from the itching she felt now.
She was relieved to find out it wasn't an allergy.
You have to experience it to know how that feeling is.
It's really painful.
Gu Yan's gaze swept over her neck, which should have been fair but was now stained red. He frowned and asked, "Does she need to apply any medicine or take any medication since she's itchy?"
Doctor Wang waved his hand, "No need. All medicines have some toxicity. Just go back and wash yourself thoroughly with a bar of soap. Avoid getting any wood chips or anything like that on your hands."
The two returned the same way they came.
Gu Yan seemed somewhat regretful for not getting the medicine, and he kept a somber expression.
"You're not angry, are you? Actually, I'm not that delicate. It's probably just because I'm not used to the new environment."
Then Gu Yan's expression turned even more unpleasant when he looked at her.
"Why would I blame you? I just feel... our current conditions are still too poor, and you've suffered."
Grandpa repeatedly told him that Zhao Shuyi was the Zhao family's precious darling and that he must spoil her.
He was simply reflecting on whether what he had done was right or wrong.
She's so frail, does he really want her to take care of a patient?
But she seemed very determined.
"That's not true. You make it sound like I'm just a useless person who does nothing at home."
Zhao Shuyi then thought of what happened in April.
"The reason I acted that way when you came before was because I didn't want to marry you and wanted to scare you away. That wasn't my true self."
At that time, the original owner of this body was instigated by Xu Wanxia, and her attitude towards Gu Yan was really not good.
She was even more spoiled than usual, and Zhao Shuyi felt she needed to explain.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan suddenly asked, "Then tell me about your feelings for that Comrade Gao..."
"That's obviously fake too!"
Zhao Shuyi answered very decisively.
Regardless of whether a man truly loves a woman or not, he always has a strange possessiveness towards her.
In order to live a peaceful life in the future, she must make her stance clear.
She had actually told Gu Yan about the situation in Beijing before, but she hadn't told him about how she had been instigated by others.
“At the time, I didn’t want to marry you because I didn’t want to leave my parents, so I used Gao Zhiyun as a shield. At the time, some people advised me to do this, and I thought they were doing it for my own good.”
Hearing her say that, Gu Yan felt a sense of relief, relieved that she had come to find him.
Given the current dire situation in Beijing, even if she, a young woman, didn't suffer alongside her parents, she probably won't fare well.
"I will be good to you."
When Gu Yan suddenly said that, Zhao Shuyi actually detected a hint of tenderness in his tone.
She felt it was dangerous.
It's hard not to be tempted if a man who suits your taste in every way is always standing in front of you and treats you exceptionally well.
But she is habitually cautious, and encountering a scumbag is a lifelong matter.
In the end, there were many things I wanted to say but didn't.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet, and the road home seemed to stretch on forever.
"I'll go pick up Xiao Liang in a bit, and also pay a visit to Company Commander Xia."
Gu Yan thought for a moment before saying, "I'll go with you."
Seeing his alarmed expression, Zhao Shuyi found it somewhat amusing. "Judging from your expression, I would think Company Commander Xia could eat me alive."
"Don't talk nonsense, but you should still be careful."
"Okay, I understand, don't worry."
Now that we have something to talk about, it's no longer awkward.
The two didn't rush to pick up the person; since they were going to visit, they naturally had to bring a gift.
"I'll make something delicious and take it over."
It's almost noon, so it's a good time to bring them some good food.
"Okay, whatever you need, I'll help you." Gu Yan walked beside Zhao Shuyi and, upon entering the courtyard, blocked her on the other side of the pile of wood.
"Don't come near these pieces of wood. I'm packing up and quitting."
Zhao Shuyi was startled. "No, people will say I'm being pretentious. You do it, I won't touch it."
It's true... she herself didn't know what to say.
She was surprised to find herself unable to work one day because her skin was too delicate.
Who would believe that if I told them?
Gu Yan thought about it and didn't refuse her suggestion, but he wasn't in a hurry to make the box. Instead, while Zhao Shuyi went back to her room to wash up with hot water, he also wiped himself down in the small room.
After the two finished washing up, he followed them into the kitchen to help.
"I'll take care of the firewood from now on. If I'm not around, you can eat at the canteen."
"Comrade Gu Yan, I'm really not that delicate. I cooked yesterday and even boiled water for a bath. It must be just that I'm not used to the local water. You can't restrict my freedom."
These last words left Gu Yan speechless.
He didn't mean it that way and didn't want Zhao Shuyi to misunderstand.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Then be careful. If you feel unwell, be sure to see a doctor immediately."
Zhao Shuyi knew that the other person meant well, so she smiled sweetly at him and said, "Don't worry, when it comes to being spoiled, I'm definitely better than you. I won't let myself be wronged."
Hearing her say that, Gu Yan was still not entirely reassured.
But I didn't nag any further.
Yes.
After spending more time together, Zhao Shuyi discovered that Gu Yan was quite talkative.
But considering that the other person is almost thirty, it seems normal for them to be more thoughtful.
She didn't find it offensive.
How could I dislike being cared for?
Her only worry was that this care wasn't for her, and that it might be taken back someday.
She was once a beloved daughter of her parents, but after her younger brother was born, she had to learn to be a big sister, a big sister who would spoil her brother.
As for other identities, they seem to be unimportant.
So she can listen to other people's concern, and she can also reciprocate.
But you must not take it for granted, nor should you get too caught up in it, lest you become unable to extricate yourself.
After figuring things out, Zhao Shuyi had a smile on her face, knowing that it was best to cherish the present moment.
Let's talk about the future later.
She plans to cook a fish dish and a chicken soup for lunch today. The cooked chicken can be served cold in the afternoon, and she'll also stir-fry some vegetables to finish.
Gu Yan kept a close eye on Zhao Shuyi while she cooked.
She rolled up half of her sleeve, revealing her arm, which was originally smooth but still had some red marks, but she didn't seem to care at all.
She scaled the fish and chopped the chicken with practiced ease, as if she did it often.
Gu Yan was somewhat dazed, and he even felt that Zhao Shuyi, who was busy in the kitchen, seemed to be glowing.
"Ouch!" Zhao Shuyi's soft exclamation pulled Gu Yan from his thoughts, and he rushed to Zhao Shuyi's side.
"What happened? Did you cut your hand?"
Zhao Shuyi was suddenly grabbed by the hand and was stunned for a moment before she could react.
"No, I..." she said after a while, "My sleeve rolled down, could you help me roll it up?"
