Chapter 72 Your leg is actually okay? He should be the one injured...
Zhang Yue and her friends were at the Ye family's house at the time, preparing things for Zhao Shuyi with Li Qian and the others.
After Zhao Shuyi left, they gradually became acquainted with Li Qian.
In particular, everyone started talking about Zhao Shuyi, and the group quickly found common ground. In addition, Li Qian was also a very good cook, and she quickly won Zhang Yue's favor.
Their interactions became even more frequent.
They got together this time to make some pickles to send to Zhao Shuyi.
Everyone knew that Li Qian might have some secret recipe, but Zhang Yue and Xia Mulan never asked, and even avoided asking, focusing only on preparation.
Li Qian was somewhat dazed.
In the past, I felt that no matter how fierce I acted, I couldn't protect what I wanted.
Now I'm thinking of letting things be as they are, that if I lose my possessions, I lose them too. But then I find out that not everyone is really interested in other people's wealth.
Li Qian's mindset has become more peaceful.
They chatted about interesting things that had happened in the family compound recently while they were busy.
"Have you seen Comrade Xu Wanqing? I feel like I haven't seen her for quite a few days."
Both of them shook their heads.
Xia Mulan rarely goes out, and her house is in a corner, so it's not surprising that she doesn't see people often.
But Li Qian's house was in the liveliest part of the family compound, and Xu Wanqing had to pass by the gate to go out, which was strange since Li Qian had never seen her there.
Zhang Yue said, "You guys are all too boring. Go out more often."
As she was speaking, she glanced up and suddenly saw a figure outside the courtyard.
Xu Wanqing walked past their courtyard with a smug look on her face. Although her outfit wasn't outrageous, what was with that arrogant attitude?
Perhaps noticing the gazes of the people in the courtyard, she flashed them a bright smile and asked, "Are you making something to eat?"
All of them were decent people, and since the other party was polite, they didn't want to be rude, so they gave him awkward smiles. However, the other party didn't seem to mind and left happily.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Has she taken the wrong medicine?" Zhang Yue asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yue was unaware that Xu Wanqing had found a way to get into the military hospital, but she knew that Xu Wanqing didn't get along with Zhao Shuyi and was always keeping an eye on Zhao Shuyi, so she didn't like her much either.
"Maybe something good has happened. Could it be that Company Commander Zheng and the others are coming back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue's eyes lit up.
Among those who went out this time were not only Zheng Jingcheng, but also Gu Yan and He Xu.
She felt like she hadn't seen He Xu for a very, very long time.
However, she quickly became listless again.
If Xu Wanqing knew that He Xu was back, then she definitely knew too.
"Never mind, they'll come back once they've completed their mission."
Zhang Yue comforted herself.
Knowing that she was worried about He Xu, Xia Mulan and the other woman changed the subject and talked about the painting they were going to paint next.
As they were talking, Huang Ying rushed over.
This was the first time they had ever seen her so flustered, and they were all startled. "What's wrong, Sister Huang? What happened?"
Huang Ying was panting heavily, her face anxious; she had clearly run there.
She pulled Zhang Yue and said, "Hurry up and pack your things, we're going to Chuncheng, He Xu is injured."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue swayed, but fortunately Li Qian caught her in time.
"Don't worry, with Shuyi here, there won't be any problems," Li Qian quickly reassured her.
Then Huang Ying said, "Gu Yan is also injured. You all need to get ready and assemble at the gate. I still need to go and notify Company Commander Zheng's family."
Huang Ying left in a hurry, leaving the rest of them panicking in the courtyard.
Xia Mulan gently patted Zhang Yue's back.
"Don't worry, we don't know the specifics yet. Go back and check, pack a few of Company Commander He's usual things, and I'll go with you to the military hospital to see him. You absolutely can't fall ill; this is the time when he needs your care."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue suddenly realized what was happening and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I can't fall down. I have to go take care of him. I'll go back and pack my things first."
She put down what she was holding and hurried home, with Xia Mulan and Li Qian following to help.
"Sister Mulan, you go to Chuncheng with Zhang Yue. I'll tidy up in the yard and go tomorrow."
Xia Mulan said, "Let's go take a look first. If there's nothing else, I'll be back later. You don't need to go."
They discussed it, then glanced at Zhang Yue, who seemed a little distracted, and said nothing more, all feeling a bit worried about Zhao Shuyi.
Meanwhile, inside the military hospital, Zhao Shuyi looked at Gu Yan, whose arm was in a sling, with annoyance.
"Didn't I tell you not to come back with an arm or a leg missing? You didn't listen to me at all."
Gu Yan smiled ingratiatingly at her and said, "I listened to you, didn't I? I'm not missing an arm or a leg, am I?"
It was just a broken arm, and with his wife there, Gu Yan wasn't afraid of the recovery process at all.
Fortunately, it was his left hand that was injured, so he wasn't too worried. However, he was still a little afraid that his wife would be angry, so he spoke very carefully.
He had seen his wife's anxious expression just now, and his eyes had turned red.
Gu Yan raised his hand to pull her.
Seeing that he was still restless, Zhao Shuyi frowned even more.
"Don't move."
Knowing that he was trying to save someone, and that he actually did, even though the person he saved wasn't Zheng Jingcheng, whom Zhao Shuyi liked, he was still Gu Yan's comrade-in-arms and a soldier who protected the country and its people. How could Zhao Shuyi really be angry with Gu Yan?
But we still need to show our attitude, otherwise Gu Yan won't take it seriously.
"You should take good care of yourself for now. If you don't behave, I'll get angry."
Gu Yan continued to smile ingratiatingly, "Of course I'll listen to you. When have I ever disobeyed my wife?"
He was always sweet-talking in front of Zhao Shuyi, and he became even sweeter when he did something wrong and felt guilty.
Zhao Shuyi glanced at the other people in the ward, feeling a little embarrassed, and secretly glared at him.
"Dr. Zhao, a patient needs acupuncture. Dr. Tan wants you to come over."
"You're here." Zhao Shuyi stepped forward and pulled the blanket up for Gu Yan. "Lie down properly and behave yourself."
As she spoke, she raised her little pink fist and gave Gu Yan a playful punch in front of his face before getting back to work.
Only after Zhao Shuyi's figure disappeared from sight did Gu Yan stop smiling.
He still feels lingering fear when he recalls this crisis.
This time, thanks to his planning and judgment of the situation, they survived many crises. They were about to complete the mission when a junior soldier accidentally exposed their position.
Gu Yan was about to rush to save the other person, but Zhao Shuyi's words suddenly echoed in his mind, and his reaction was slowed down.
Instead of him making a move, Zheng Jingcheng from another direction did.
Without further hesitation, he stepped forward and pulled Zheng Jingcheng up, but it was too late. The other man's leg was injured by the explosion, and his hand was also affected.
Fortunately, he pulled him, so Zheng Jingcheng's leg wasn't completely ruined. However, it's uncertain whether he'll be able to continue serving in the military.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan still felt a little guilty. He had been thinking about Zhao Shuyi's instructions all the way, always feeling that something might happen to him on this trip, but he had overlooked the fact that this was the case.
Zheng Jingcheng had shielded him from disaster, and Gu Yan got up to go next door to check on Zheng Jingcheng.
The other person was lying in bed and hadn't woken up. Seeing him like that, Gu Yan felt terrible.
Before he could leave, Zhao Shuyi grabbed him, glaring at him and saying, "Didn't I tell you to rest properly? Why are you running around like that?"
Gu Yan was scolded by his wife. He touched his nose and said guiltily, "I just came to check on you. Didn't I hurt my hand?"
It's still possible to walk.
Zhao Shuyi was unaware of what had happened to them on the battlefield. Gu Yan hadn't told her, worried that it would put her under psychological pressure.
But Zhao Shuyi could tell that Gu Yan was very worried about Zheng Jingcheng. She felt that something was probably wrong, so she comforted him by saying, "I will try my best to cure him."
She examined Zheng Jingcheng's leg; the bone was broken, the nerves were damaged, and it was a bloody mess. In reality, it was just a serious external injury, and he should be able to be saved, but it would take more time.
Gu Yan's eyes lit up.
"Wife, is there really still a chance?"
Glancing at the person on the bed, Zhao Shuyi pulled Gu Yan out, saying, "Let's talk as we walk. I can't guarantee 100%, but as long as he takes good care of himself as I say, I think I have a 60-70% chance of success."
"Sixty or seventy percent?" Gu Yan was stunned.
He originally thought there was at most a 10% or 20% chance of improvement, but he didn't expect his wife to be so amazing.
Zhao Shuyi felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"Go back and rest now, you need to take good care of your hands too."
"Thank you, wife." Gu Yan then told Zhao Shuyi the reason why Zheng Jingcheng was injured, but of course he didn't mention that he hadn't acted in time because of what Zhao Shuyi said.
But Gu Yan didn't regret it. In that situation, if he had acted first, no one would have been there to help him, and he would have been the one to get his leg injured. Moreover, his injury would have been more severe than Zheng Jingcheng's.
Knowing that the other person was most likely to recover, Gu Yan's guilt turned into relief.
Hearing this, Zhao Shuyi was a little stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this. There was definitely no such scene in the book. Zheng Jingcheng hadn't joined the army at that time, or rather, he hadn't come to Yunnan Province yet.
So, Gu Yan still owes Zheng Jingcheng something.
She became even more determined to cure Zheng Jingcheng.
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
Gu Yan hugged her with one arm. "Thank you, my wife."
Worried that she might press on his hand, Zhao Shuyi gently pushed him away.
She suddenly thought of Xu Wanqing.
The female lead truly lives up to her reputation; her fate with the male lead is incredibly bumpy.
But when she thought of the description in the book of her mocking expression when she saw Gu Yan injured, Zhao Shuyi felt no sympathy for her whatsoever.
At that time, Xu Wanqing and her group were still in the car.
She really doesn't deserve any sympathy.
The vehicle was full of the families of the wounded officers.
Everyone was in a heavy mood, except for Xu Wanqing, who seemed carefree with a smile that she couldn't suppress, though it was unclear what she was happy about.
Xia Mulan let Zhang Yue lean on her shoulder and glanced at Xu Wanqing several times.
Xu Wanqing noticed their gazes but didn't care at all. She just pursed her lips, clearly still very happy.
How could she not be happy?
I had just had that dream when I heard that Gu Yan was injured.
They will definitely be leaving the family compound soon.
Oh, no, that's not right.
Isn't Zhao Shuyi skilled in medicine?
She wanted to see how the other party could cure someone in a wheelchair.
The truth is finally about to be revealed.
Serves them right.
She absolutely had to see how Zhao Shuyi felt.
As for Zheng Jingcheng, he was very lucky in his previous life. In the dream, he was successful in both of his lives, so it was impossible for anything major to happen to him.
Zhang Yue was feeling unwell when she looked up and saw Xu Wanqing's smile. She found it irritating and glared at the other woman fiercely.
Xu Wanqing didn't care at all, which infuriated Zhang Yue.
But she was worried about He Xu and couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
And so, in this strange atmosphere, they finally arrived at the military hospital.
Led by the nurse, the group went straight to the second floor.
To everyone's surprise, they saw Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan at the top of the stairs.
"You... your leg is actually okay?" Xu Wanqing looked at Gu Yan as if she had seen a ghost.
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Xu Wanqing, what nonsense are you spouting? I've put up with you for far too long!"
Zhang Yue was the first to speak out; she simply couldn't stand it anymore.
This person was laughing all the way, and now she's cursing Gu Yan. What does she mean by this?
Zhao Shuyi looked at Xu Wanqing thoughtfully.
She seemed to realize something and explained, "I only heard that you injured your leg, Deputy Commander Gu. It wasn't you. I must have misheard. I'm sorry."
Gu Yan didn't say much, but pointed to the ward next door and said, "Company Commander Zheng is over here."
Xu Wanqing was embarrassed; the ease she had shown when she arrived was completely gone, and she entered the ward with a gloomy face.
Only then did Zhang Yue come closer.
"Sister Shuyi, our He Xu..."
Zhao Shuyi composed herself and said, "He's fine here, don't worry. With proper care, he'll recover."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue's heart finally settled down.
"Is Deputy Regiment Commander Gu alright?"
"It's nothing, he hurt his hand, it's not serious."
After escorting the person to the ward, Zhao Shuyi said, "I have to go now. I'll come find you later. If you need anything, just come to my office."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy," Xia Mulan said. Zhang Yue was looking at He Xu with tears in her eyes and didn't have time to pay attention to her at all.
Zhao Shuyi glanced at Gu Yan and left the ward.
Once she was outside, she finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She almost gave herself away because of Xu Wanqing's words.
Xu Wanqing's shock just now was too much; it was definitely not as simple as what she heard from others.
She seemed to know that Gu Yan's leg would be injured.
Could it be that Xu Wanqing was not simply reborn, but also awakened the memories from the book?
How can we play like this?
No wonder she doubted that she was Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little annoyed.
However, what she didn't know was that even though she thought she had hidden it well, Gu Yan had still noticed something was off from her reaction.
Gu Yan clearly saw the slight stiffness in her expression just now.
Moreover, the two had been living together in the same bed for a long time, so how could Gu Yan not have noticed anything unusual?
However, Gu Yan ultimately didn't ask anything.
Some things don't need to be said too clearly. Zhao Shuyi is his wife, and he will always treat her well. That's enough.
Meanwhile, in Zheng Jingcheng's hospital room, Xu Wanqing felt like her world had collapsed upon learning that Zheng Jingcheng's leg had been blown up.
She was still somewhat dazed when she saw that Gu Yan's leg was not broken.
I don't know what went wrong.
In the dream, this matter had nothing to do with Zheng Jingcheng; it should have been Gu Yan who broke his leg.
But she saw with her own eyes that Gu Yan was walking perfectly fine, while Zheng Jingcheng was lying on the bed, half-dead.
Things have changed, really changed, they've become different.
Why?
Why is God playing such a cruel trick on her?
If only I had known...
If she had known, she would have stayed in Beijing with Zheng Jingcheng and lived a good life until he was transferred here himself.
In that case, Gu Yan would still be the one who gets hurt, while Zheng Jingcheng would remain unharmed.
Xu Wanqing was certain that her rebirth had changed everything; what should have happened to Gu Yan had happened to Zheng Jingcheng.
So she didn't even ask about Zheng Jingcheng's condition before concluding that he was definitely not going to get better and would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
When Zheng Jingcheng woke up, he saw her muttering to herself and looking at him with a sorrowful expression.
Seeing that he had woken up, Xu Wanqing asked, "How did you get hurt? He should be the one who got hurt."
Her questioning tone left Zheng Jingcheng and the soldiers in the same ward completely bewildered.
Zheng Jingcheng asked in a calm voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
He assumed that Xu Wanqing knew he was injured while saving someone, but how could he say that?
Xu Wanqing was still immersed in her own world and didn't notice his anger at all. "I asked you how you hurt your leg. You can't stand up anymore. What are we going to do?"
Zheng Jingcheng found her puzzling, but he roughly understood her motives. He sneered and said, "What can you do? If you can't stand up, you'll be discharged."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanqing seemed to have suffered a tremendous blow.
"Retiring from the military? How can I retire from the military?"
He should have been promoted and received a raise.
Everyone felt that she might have gone mad because she knew how much impact Zheng Jingcheng's injury had. Everyone looked at Zheng Jingcheng with a hint of pity.
Zheng Jingcheng knew perfectly well that she was only thinking of herself, and said, "I don't need your care, you should go back." His tone was extremely calm.
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing regained some clarity and instinctively said, "I won't leave. I want to take care of you."
Things had taken her somewhat by surprise, and she was still in a daze, unsure of what to do.
But one thing she was very clear about was that she needed to think, and think again, about whether there was any way to break the deadlock.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Zheng Jingcheng didn't say much, only saying, "Whatever you want."
The atmosphere between the couple was so strange; there was no sign of concern or worry, which was obvious to everyone else in the ward.
But no one dared to speak, lest they disturb Zheng Jingcheng, who had already closed his eyes to rest.
Zheng Jingcheng closed his eyes, his mind in turmoil. He didn't care at all about Xu Wanqing's opinion of him, knowing that Xu Wanqing had never been sincere towards him from the beginning.
He was truly filled with regret. If he hadn't been tricked by the enemy that time, he wouldn't have met Xu Wanqing, and if that incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have come to Yunnan Province.
Zheng Jingcheng knew that his current physical condition was probably not very good.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to someone with ambition.
He was already struggling to calm himself down, let alone comfort Xu Wanqing, who didn't care about him at all.
I need to seriously consider my future.
-
When Zhao Shuyi had some free time again, Zhang Yue and Xia Mulan had already arrived and were chatting and laughing in the ward, making it quite lively.
As soon as she entered the ward, everyone stopped talking and looked over, their faces beaming with smiles.
Zhao Shuyi raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.
"What's wrong? What bad things are you saying about me behind my back?"
Zhang Yue, clearly trying to cover something up, retorted, "No way! Why would we say anything bad about Sister Shuyi?"
They were just teasing Deputy Regiment Commander Gu.
Zhao Shuyi chuckled twice and gave her a knowing look.
Zhang Yue immediately changed the subject with a chuckle, "I was so scared today. As soon as Sister Huang Ying arrived, she said He Xu was injured and told me to pack my things and come to the hospital right away. I thought He Xu was so badly injured that he was about to be unable to get up."
"I rushed over here with Sister Mulan. Luckily, this kid is very lucky." She said, still looking at He Xu with concern.
He Xu smiled at her, his face pale, "I'm really fine."
The young couple has a really good relationship.
But Zhao Shuyi still had to interrupt them.
"He's not fully recovered yet, so don't make him talk too much. Let him rest properly."
Zhao Shuyi said, "Let's go to the family compound first and cook something for them."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue was still a little worried, "Are there any vegetables? It's not easy to buy vegetables now."
"There's a little bit left, just enough for today. I'll go buy more tomorrow morning."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. When they opened it, they saw Li Qian and Ye Xuedong.
Li Qian originally planned to come tomorrow, but after Ye Xuedong returned and heard about Gu Yan and the others' injuries, he suggested that they come and see them together.
So Ye Xuedong borrowed a car. They had planned to come to Chuncheng to buy some things early in the morning, and this was a good opportunity for them to travel together.
"I brought you some food because I was worried that the portions wouldn't be enough. You need to eat well since you're sick."
Actually, you can get nutrition vouchers when you're sick, but ultimately it's all about the sentiment.
The group went to get their things and were surprised to see what Li Qian had prepared.
"You've probably brought the whole yard here." There's a basket full of vegetables, as well as meat, dried mushrooms, and the pickles they made together before.
Both rice and noodles are available.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Since we have a car, I thought I'd bring more."
Since we've already brought them, everyone certainly won't be disappointed, and these things are indeed useful.
Seeing those things, Zhang Yue was extremely grateful.
"Thank goodness for you, my sister Li Qian, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."
Li Qian smiled. She knew Zhang Yue was exaggerating, but listening to her words still made her feel better.
"Let's go back and cook first."
As the group chatted, Zhang Yue's eyes gradually reddened.
Zhao Shuyi knew that given her personality and how worried she was about He Xu, she wouldn't remain completely unresponsive.
She probably pretended to be relaxed because she didn't want He Xu to worry about her.
"It's alright, I'm here. I'll definitely restore your He Xu to his former state."
Hearing Zhao Shuyi's words, Zhang Yue's expression didn't improve much. "Sister Shuyi, you're not just trying to comfort me, are you?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you? You can fool people for a while, but can you fool them forever? His injury wasn't that serious to begin with, so don't worry."
He's at least much better than Zheng Jingcheng.
After saying that, Zhao Shuyi was worried that the other party was not taking it seriously enough, so she added, "However, even if he can recover, he will have to cooperate. He will definitely need to rest well for a long time. You can't let him overwork or do heavy work. You have to keep an eye on him."
Zhang Yue nodded, "I'll definitely keep a close eye on him!"
Then she pouted, which looked rather comical.
Zhao Shuyi wanted to laugh at her, but she couldn't really manage to.
The situation was indeed quite serious. Although Gu Yan spoke of it as if it were nothing, she knew that Gu Yan was the type to only report good news and not bad.
The situation must have been much more critical than he described.
However, this was Gu Yan's job, and they couldn't avoid it. Besides worrying, they didn't seem to be able to do anything for them.
Everyone returned to the family compound somewhat uneasy. Qiu Jiawen was still engrossed in her studies when she heard a noise outside, so she came out.
Zhao Shuyi introduced them to each other, and Qiu Jiawen then learned that Gu Yan and the others were injured. She asked Zhao Shuyi with some concern, and was relieved to learn that it was nothing serious.
"Let's make some meals for them when we get back." Hearing this, Qiu Jiawen also hurriedly went into the kitchen to help.
"Is the hospital busy? Do you need me to come and help?"
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Jiawen finally asked the question that was on her mind.
Although she has now left the military hospital, she always remembers that she is a doctor and her mission is to treat patients and save lives.
Zhao Shuyi said, "Fortunately, although many of them are injured, none of them are seriously injured, and they are not too busy. If you want to go, you can come with us to take a look."
"Then forget it."
If she can manage her own time, there's no need for her to stand out.
Qiu Jiawen knew that not everyone in this world was as kind-hearted as Zhao Shuyi.
She should just stay in the family compound.
Seeing that she wasn't going, Zhao Shuyi didn't force her. It would be good for her to spend more time reading medical books during this period, which would only take a few months.
Once she goes to Beijing, she'll have plenty of time to work with Dr. Tan, so there's no need to listen to those people's gossip.
Zhang Yue couldn't quite understand what they were saying. Normally, she would have been gossiping, but today she was quiet and didn't say much while doing her work.
Zhao Shuyi kept a close eye on her, afraid that she might make a mistake due to a moment of distraction.
Zhao Shuyi stepped forward and took the kitchen knife from her hand. "You have to take good care of yourself. He Xu's health needs your care during this time. It would be difficult if you collapsed."
Zhang Yue sighed, "I never quite understood why my parents insisted on stopping me from joining the army until now. I finally understand. That feeling of constant fear and anxiety is truly unbearable."
This is true; only those who have truly experienced it know.
Zhao Shuyi had been on tenterhooks all along. Every time Gu Yan went out, she would remind him to be careful. She felt that Gu Yan was probably tired of hearing it.
But what can we do?
They chose this path, and that's the risk they had to take.
Zhao Shuyi wanted to persuade Zhang Yue, but before she could even speak, she saw that the other party had already perked up.
She suddenly smiled and said to everyone, "My son He Xu is really amazing!"
His smug look was just like a mother praising a child in kindergarten for getting a red flower, which was quite funny, and everyone laughed.
The atmosphere finally eased a bit.
When they arrived at the ward, their faces were still beaming with smiles.
Zhang Yue was more considerate to He Xu than ever before, not only setting out the food for him but also feeding him bite by bite with a gentle expression.
Her eyes were also fixed on He Xu, making one's teeth ache.
Gu Yan glanced over there every now and then, looking at the food in his lunchbox, and suddenly felt that today's food didn't taste very good.
However, as soon as his wife delivered the food, she went to check on the patients and didn't pay any attention to him.
When Zhao Shuyi returned from her rounds, Gu Yan had already finished her meal. She kept staring at her, her eyes seemingly filled with resentment.
Zhao Shuyi was puzzled. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He stepped forward to take Gu Yan's pulse, but as soon as Zhao Shuyi's slender fingers touched his wrist, Gu Yan's resentment subsided considerably.
Zhao Shuyi, however, was completely unaware.
While cooking, she didn't dare to add too much spiritual spring water. If He Xu suddenly became very well, that would be a real horror story.
Therefore, Gu Yan's injuries did not change much, and he could only rest and recover.
Seeing that Gu Yan was staring at her, Zhao Shuyi gave him a questioning look.
Unfortunately, the ward was full of acquaintances, so Gu Yan couldn't share his feelings with Zhao Shuyi and could only continue to feel resentful.
Zhao Shuyi remained very busy for the next few days.
Li Qian and the others made sure everyone was alright, and then bought some things and went home the next day.
Zhang Yue stayed at the hospital, and she remained very caring towards He Xu.
Gu Yan felt a pang of jealousy every time he saw the two of them. He tried to give his wife meaningful glances every day, but she couldn't understand him at all.
That night, he went to the family compound to sleep with his wife.
Lying in bed, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Shuyi, why don't you care about me at all when you're eating?"
Zhao Shuyi was still thinking about the knowledge she had just learned when she heard Gu Yan's words. It took her a while to realize what he was asking.
If I don't care about him during meals, how can I show him care?
"Where have I not cared about you?" she retorted.
Gu Yan was furious. He knew his wife hadn't noticed at all.
“You didn’t see He Xu and his wife. Zhang Yue feeds He Xu every meal, and his hand isn’t broken.”
Even with my own severed hand, I don't get that kind of treatment. It's really an eyesore to see.
Zhao Shuyi finally understood what Gu Yan had been acting strangely these past two days. She gently poked Gu Yan's still-hanging hand and gave a cold laugh.
"You should be grateful. I told you you weren't allowed to come back with a broken arm or leg, and you didn't even do that. Now you want me to feed you? You're dreaming."
Hearing Zhao Shuyi's merciless words, Gu Yan immediately wilted.
He was extremely good at admitting his mistakes.
"I was wrong, honey. I will be more careful next time I do a mission. Once my hand is healed, I will train even harder when I get back. This will never happen again."
He promises? What can he promise?
Zhao Shuyi knew that such things were unavoidable, so she didn't blame the other party too much. However, after hearing his apology, Zhao Shuyi's heart softened a little.
"Forget it, I don't blame you. I know this is your mission, and if I blame you, wouldn't I be too heartless?"
"Then you'll feed me tomorrow."
We can't let He Xu outdo us.
Gu Yan started acting cute again. Zhao Shuyi was speechless. Was she really going to keep feeding him like this?
"Gu Yan, you're so naive."
Despite her complaints, Zhao Shuyi still got up, picked up the enamel mug from the table, and said, "Deputy Regiment Commander Gu, let me feed you some water."
This made Gu Yan laugh, and he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's so late at night, it would be too embarrassing if Dr. Tan and the others heard us.
Deputy Regiment Commander Gu still had some baggage.
He took the water and gulped it down, then whispered in Zhao Shuyi's ear, "You've really come here to teach me a lesson."
Zhao Shuyi snorted, "I'm just here to teach you a lesson."
Her voice was already a little slurred; she was just too sleepy. Because Gu Yan was there, she spent less time in the space, and the hospital was quite busy, so she had been feeling sleepy all the time lately.
Seeing this, Gu Yan didn't bother her. He gently patted Zhao Shuyi's back with his good hand and said, "Go to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, his beloved wife began to breathe evenly.
Gu Yan stared at Zhao Shuyi for a long time, still amazed at how she had developed the ability to fall asleep whenever she wanted.
If Zhao Shuyi is tired, she has definitely been working hard lately, but why is she so sleepy?
Even Zhao Shuyi herself noticed it.
She found that she was sleepy not only at night, but also during the day. Sometimes when Dr. Tan was explaining things to her, she couldn't help but yawn, which was something that had never happened before.
Zhao Shuyi thought she was too tired and kept replenishing her spiritual spring water. As a result, after sitting down to rest for a while, she became sleepy again.
At first, Dr. Tan was understanding of her hard work and even reduced her workload. Then he found that she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open and kept yawning.
Dr. Tan grabbed her hand and took her pulse, then learned some shocking news.
Zhao Shuyi is pregnant!
