Chapter 204 So That's How It Is
Jiang Zhizhi stared at Fang Hua in shock: "Pregnant? That's impossible..."
Zhou Xiye is very careful about this matter, and even if she is pregnant, isn't her reaction too early?
Fang Hua calculated the date of Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi's wedding, then touched her forehead: "Judging from the dates, it seems like you're pregnant. What would you like to eat? I'll go make some tangyuan for you?"
As she was about to get up, Jiang Zhizhi grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, no need, no need. I might have been exposed to the wind on the mountain. I'll rest for a bit."
She had a feeling that she wasn't pregnant, but just not feeling well.
Fang Hua assumed she was too young to understand and patted her hand, saying, "Go back to your room and lie down for a while. I'll make you some ginger soup to help you sweat. We'll talk after you take a nap."
Jiang Zhizhi went back to her room, changed into her pajamas, lay down, and drank a large bowl of ginger soup cooked by Fang Hua. Her stomach felt warm, but her head was still dizzy.
It felt a bit like weightlessness, a rather uncomfortable sensation.
Fang Hua told her to wrap herself in a blanket, lie down, and get a good night's sleep.
Jiang Zhizhi had some trouble sleeping at first, and lay with her eyes closed for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.
After falling asleep, she began to dream. Her dreams were filled with scenes that were both strange and familiar, making it hard for her to tell whether it was her or the original owner of the body.
In my dream, she sat on Jiang Zhenhua's shoulders, looking like a three or four-year-old girl, a pink and tender little thing with a chubby face like a porcelain doll.
The background scene is also very realistic, set in a courtyard of bungalows. Jiang Zhenhua's clothes are a bit old, with patches on his elbows, but his laughter is hearty: "I'm taking Zhizhi flying a plane..."
As he spoke, he carried her around the yard, making her giggle nonstop.
There are many more. Jiang Zhenhua called Xiaoxiao to get up and eat. Song Wanying held up a little sweater with a rabbit pattern on the front and asked her with a smile if it looked good.
In the dream, Jiang Zhenhua and his wife were both very young, with happy smiles in their eyes and on their faces.
Jiang Zhizhi felt that the child who was acting spoiled was herself, but she also felt like an observer standing by and watching.
The scene changed, and she was back on the front lines. Amidst the sounds of gunfire, she seemed to see Zhou Xiye.
Despite being severely injured, he remained steadfast on the mountaintop. Beside him were familiar faces: Wang Changkun, Zhang Zhao, and even Shang Xingzhou.
Zhou Xiye handed a stack of things to Shang Xingzhou, saying, "You must bring these things back with you."
Shang Xingzhou, his face covered in blood and tears welling in his eyes, left with his belongings.
Despite their limited weaponry, Zhou Xiye and his men managed to repel the enemy's repeated attacks, only to fall one by one to their banner.
Tears streamed down Jiang Zhizhi's face as she tried to reach out to help Zhou Xiye, who was covered in blood, but found that her fingers couldn't touch him at all.
When Zhou Xiye collapsed, she saw that he still had a photo in his hand, the one she had given him, which was already a little yellowed.
She saw Zhou Xiye open his mouth, as if calling out to Zhizhi...
Jiang Zhizhi covered her mouth and rushed over to hug him, but she passed through his body and ended up in another scene.
Jiang Donghua stood in his office, beaming, pointing at the map with a sinister smile, and said to the people around him, "Bian Zhan, Zhou Xiye won't be coming back this time!"
Jiang Zhizhi's eyes reddened, and with a look of rage, she reached out to grab Jiang Donghua's neck. They were the ones who killed Zhou Xiye!
Yet they still couldn't touch Jiang Donghua at all.
The man next to Jiang Donghua laughed: "This is all thanks to your good father-in-law. You need to increase the strength of Jiang Zhizhi's medication and never let her wake up."
Jiang Donghua chuckled: "Don't worry, with her around, Shang Shiyi and Shang Xingzhou will listen to you. How could I bear to let anything happen to her?"
The two laughed heartily...
Jiang Zhizhi's mind was in complete chaos, her head was throbbing as if it were going to explode, and she had only one thought in her mind: to kill Jiang Donghua. She rushed over and tried to strangle him again and again, and if she failed, she would try again!
Charge over in anger again!
He must die!
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."
Jiang Zhizhi felt a hand pull her hard, causing her to fall into darkness. All she could hear was Zhou Xiye's affectionate yet anxious voice.
Gradually, her consciousness returned, and she realized that she had just been trapped in a nightmare.
He moved his eyelids and tried to open his eyes, only to meet Nishino's concerned and anxious gaze from last week.
She paused for a moment, then stood up and reached out to hug Zhou Xiye's neck, feeling his warm skin and strong heartbeat.
That dream felt so real!
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but suspect that Zhou Xiye had sacrificed himself in this way in his previous life, and the only thing she couldn't explain was the photograph.
Or perhaps she's incorporating her current emotions into the equation?
Zhou Xiye helped Jiang Zhizhi sit up, carefully wrapped her in a blanket, and gently patted her back as he felt her trembling. "Did you have a nightmare?"
Jiang Zhizhi rubbed her cheek against his neck, gritting her teeth: "I wasn't scared, I was just angry."
In her dream, she was in tears. Now, she was holding Zhou Xiye, feeling both relieved and, more than anything, angry.
Zhou Xiye was really frightened by her. Just now, she seemed to be both angry and anxious, constantly shedding tears, yet she was also clenching her teeth tightly, as if she was trying to do something.
He kissed her cheek and said, "It's nothing, it was just a dream, it's all fake."
Jiang Zhizhi was still very angry: "I dreamt that Jiang Donghua became an official and then plotted against you. Oh, and I also dreamt of Bian Zhan. He didn't die, and he joined forces with Jiang Donghua to scheme against you."
Zhou Xiye was surprised, after all, no one outside knew that Bian Zhan was still alive.
Jiang Zhizhi actually dreamed about it!
He patted her on the back: "No, Jiang Donghua and Bian Zhan have no connection, and Bian Zhan has already sacrificed himself. Even if they wanted to join forces, it would only be possible if Jiang Donghua went down to find him."
One sentence made Jiang Zhizhi chuckle: "That's true. I'm so strange. How could I dream about him and Jiang Donghua together?"
Although I said that, I had a vague feeling that this dream was not so simple.
Zhou Xiye patiently comforted him: "Don't think too much about it. There's no basis to dreams."
Jiang Zhizhi leaned against Zhou Xiye's chest for a while to recover. She was still feeling a bit uncomfortable, but much better than in the afternoon.
Suddenly remembering Fang Hua's misunderstanding: "I feel unwell, and Mom thought I was pregnant..."
Zhou Xiye didn't quite understand either; "They took precautions, so it shouldn't be pregnancy."
Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment, then leaned against him and said, "I don't want to have children yet. How about we have them in a few years?"
To avoid the year Zhou Xiye had his accident, she needed to work hard to learn many things before that.
Zhou Xiye had no objection: "There's no rush to have children. You're still in school. Let's talk about it later."
He also thought that Jiang Zhizhi was still young and shouldn't be trapped by a child now.
Fang Hua brought over the glutinous rice balls, stood at the door and overheard the young couple's conversation. He paused for a moment, then left with the bowl.
Jiang Zhizhi came out after a while, washed her face, and went to the living room, where she saw Fang Hua sitting on the sofa with a not-so-good expression...
