Chapter 118 Loving Only One Person in a Lifetime (Bonus Chapter)
Looking at the somewhat dejected Jiang Zhizhi, Zhou Xiye raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and slowly placed it on her back, gently patting the area below the wound: "What happened? Who bullied you?"
Jiang Zhizhi rubbed her face against his chest, the firm texture making her very satisfied.
She wrinkled her nose again and sniffed like a kitten: "Why do you smell so good?"
The refreshing scent emanating from him, like that of a fir tree on a snow-capped mountain, dispelled the slight unease in her heart.
Zhou Xiye felt a fire burning in his chest from her rubbing against him. This fire spread from his chest into his heart and continued to burn down to his lower abdomen.
In some places, the trend has already begun to rise uncontrollably.
She closed her eyes briefly: "I'm not a woman, where would the fragrance come from?"
Jiang Zhizhi rubbed against him again through his shirt: "No wonder female demons all want to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh. Just smelling it can make you feel refreshed, let alone eating it. After eating it, you will definitely live forever."
When Zhou Xiye heard her start talking nonsense again, he grabbed her by the back of the collar and said, "You're being cheeky again. Tell me properly, what exactly happened?"
He wanted to keep some distance so that Jiang Zhizhi wouldn't notice anything unusual about him.
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled and let go, then went to the table, picked up the teacup, and drank the cold water in one gulp. Wiping away the water droplets, she turned around and found that Zhou Xiye was already sitting on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, with a book on his lap: "Are you going to read? Didn't you say you were going to the hospital to find me?"
Zhou Xiye remained calm and composed, saying, "Well, I want to see if you're back first, and then I'll go over. How's Dad doing?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "It looks good. Next is to let it rest. Fortunately, its internal organs are fine, otherwise it would have been very painful."
After finishing her sentence, she sat down next to Zhou Xiye and recounted the blood test details. She then asked incredulously, "I actually have a rare blood type. Who are my biological parents?"
She was still surprised to find that she and the original owner of the body had the same blood type.
Is it because of so many coincidences that I was able to transmigrate into her body?
Zhou Xiye was also a little surprised: "A rare blood type?"
Thinking about it now, I feel a bit scared. If she hadn't stopped the bleeding in time, or if her injury had been more serious, the hospital here wouldn't have been able to find a suitable person to give her blood in a short time, and Jiang Zhizhi would have been in great danger.
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, what a coincidence. You can find out if you're family just by checking your blood type."
"If it's so simple, why didn't they investigate back then, and let Sun Xiaoyue fool them for so long?"
Zhou Xiye had calmed down, put his legs down, and sat up straight: "Ordinary people don't have this common sense. If they didn't receive a blood transfusion, they wouldn't know that this is a quick way to screen for blood relations. Besides, with so much evidence in front of us at the time, my parents didn't have time to think about anything else."
Jiang Zhizhi thought about it and agreed: "I've already reminded them to be careful of Sun Xiaoyue, especially my mom. If they fall for it again, I don't know what to say."
After waiting for her to finish her rambling, Zhou Xiye said something serious: "I have to go on a mission in a couple of days, and I might be back in half a month."
Jiang Zhizhi was taken aback: "In a couple of days? Is the place far away?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "We're still waiting for the specific time, and I can't say where we're going. If you're alone and don't want to stay here, you can go back to Beijing first."
Jiang Zhizhi pouted, "Where will I stay when I go back to Beijing? I'll wait for you here."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment: "After I return from this mission, I will be going to Yunnan. It's not convenient for you to stay here alone. You should go back to Beijing first, and Political Commissar Li will give you a letter of introduction so you can go to school."
Jiang Zhizhi fell into a long silence. She knew very well that Zhou Xiye's profession meant that they would be separated for long periods of time.
He can't stay at home every day like an ordinary person.
From now on, she will have to face everything alone.
Also, things are different now than they were later. We have telephones, we can video chat, and transportation is convenient. If we want to see someone, we can just buy a plane ticket and go see them.
Now, it might take a month to receive a letter, and meeting someone is even more difficult.
This was truly an era when travel was slow, letters took a long time to arrive, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.
But she likes it very much.
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi remained silent, Zhou Xiye's thoughts sank slightly, and he got up to pour her some water.
After pouring the water, Jiang Zhizhi had come to her senses and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Let's talk about it in a couple of days. Shall we go out for a walk now and see what we want to eat tonight?"
Zhou Xiye didn't quite understand what Jiang Zhizhi was thinking, but he didn't ask. He accompanied her for a walk.
On the way back, Jiang Zhizhi whispered, "When you go to Yunnan, I'll go back to Beijing to wait for you. You must write to me then. If I have time, I can come to see you."
As she spoke, she quickly reached out and shook Zhou Xiye's fingers. She had her own plans, but she didn't want to tell Zhou Xiye right now.
...
After dinner, Zhou Xiye went to a meeting again, and Jiang Zhizhi, feeling bored, went to chat with Tian Aiqin.
The news about what happened at the hospital has already spread throughout the family compound.
Tian Aiqin had also heard about it. She was surprised to find that Jiang Zhizhi was a pitiful child whose parents didn't even know about her. Her eyes softened when she looked at Jiang Zhizhi: "I've heard about what happened at the hospital. Don't worry about it. You have your own little family now. When you and Zhou Xiye have children, they will all be your family."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, I'm not sad, that's what I think too."
Tian Aiqin sighed: "Actually, in the early years, things were quite chaotic. There were many cases of babies being switched at birth, babies being lost, and some babies being abandoned because people had too many children and couldn't afford to raise them."
Jiang Zhizhi understood that Tian Aiqin was trying to comfort her, and nodded happily: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I'm just a little curious about who my parents are, but I'm not sad at all. After all, I've never suffered since I was a child, and I'm already very fortunate."
Tian Aiqin thought about it and agreed, then praised Zhou Xiye to Jiang Zhizhi again.
...
The atmosphere in Li Zhiguo's office was unusually heavy.
Besides Li Zhiguo, only Zhou Xiye and Li Zhuo were in the office.
Li Zhuo gripped the pen and scribbled a few lines on the letter paper, completing the letter in one go.
Turning her head to see that Zhou Xiye hadn't started writing yet, she asked curiously, "Haven't you decided what to write for your sister-in-law yet?"
Writing a will for each mission has become a habit for him; he only needs to rewrite the content from the previous one each time.
For Zhou Xiye, it seems to be his first time.
Li Zhiguo looked at the two men with a grave expression: "You two need to be extra careful this time. You're up against Bian Zhan. Xi Ye, your orders are to snipe him with all your might... but leave him alive."
