Chapter 205: Go to the island with the army!
Su Mengxue originally thought she was dreaming, but this time Gu Yunting looked much older than in previous dreams, and Zihao was also much taller than in the dreams.
She paused, thinking of what Cheng Hao had told her a few days ago, and quickly looked down at the jade pendant around her neck.
She suddenly realized that she was wearing it back?
She turned her head to look at Gu Yunting and Zihao beside the bed. Compared to seven years ago, Zihao was now a big boy. He was almost as tall as her, and his profile had the outline of a teenager.
He was wearing a clean and tidy school uniform, and his clear eyes were full of joy.
Then her eyes fell on Gu Yunting, and tears instantly welled up in the corners of her eyes. In just seven years, Gu Yunting had grown many white hairs on his temples and fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Her heart felt like it was hit hard by a blunt object. Even though seven years had passed, he was only forty years old now, but how could he look so old!
Of course she knew the reason. It was all because of her. He must have missed her too much.
And during the seven years she was absent, he had to carry everything on his own! He must have been exhausted all these years!
She wanted to talk to him, but the words were stuck in her throat. She was so guilty that she couldn't utter a word.
Gu Yunting stood at the end of the bed, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and the corners of his eyes were red.
That year on the mountain, he thought she was dead, but fortunately Xu Jianian suddenly appeared and shot the wolf to death, saving her from danger.
But what he never expected was that she fainted on the spot and never woke up again.
Countless doctors and experts have consulted with her, but none of them could find the cause of her coma.
And so he waited and waited, year after year, but she showed no sign of waking up.
During this period, not only did he visit famous doctors, but Lu Yuanzhou and Xu Jianian also used their own connections to find many famous doctors.
But they were all helpless and could not find the reason for her coma. They even asserted that she might never wake up again and asked him to prepare for the worst.
How could he possibly accept this? In fact, he had thought about it countless times over the years. Maybe she had returned to modern society and would never come back?
But every time he thought of this, he was extremely frightened. He didn't dare to think about it too much. He could only numb himself and tell himself countless times in his heart that she would definitely wake up.
He not only said this to himself, but also to Zihao. Every day when he came back from the army, he would pick up Zihao and they would come to the hospital together to see her, take care of her, and tell her about what had happened between them recently.
When he was on vacation, or when Zihao didn't have to go to school on weekends, the two of them would come in the morning. They would not leave the hospital until the evening rounds when the nurse urged them to.
In the past seven years, he had imagined countless times that she would wake up, but every time he came to the hospital excitedly and left with a lonely look on his face.
So when Su Mengxue really opened her eyes, he froze in his tracks, too scared to even approach. He was afraid it was just a dream, that she would suddenly close her eyes if he got close to her. He was afraid... he was really afraid...
"Yun Ting, Zihao, I'm back!"
It wasn't until she choked up and started to speak that he realized she was really back! Really back!
Before he could step forward, Zihao rushed into her arms and cried, "Mom, Mom, you finally woke up. Do you know how much I missed you all these years? I thought you would never wake up again. Mom, it's so good that you woke up... so good..."
Lu Zihao kept talking while crying. Gu Yunting stood there, his fingers tightly clenching the corner of his clothes. With red eyes, he watched Zihao throw himself on her and tell her how much he missed her over the years, crying in pain.
After a long time, Lu Zihao finally got up from Su Mengxue. He wiped his tears with his hands and said, "Mom, Dad has really missed you these years. Please talk to him. I'm going to wash my face!"
After saying this, he reluctantly left the ward.
After the door closed, they were the only two left in the room. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. They stood there, looking at each other with burning eyes, but did not say a word.
After a long time, Su Mengxue spoke first: "Yun Ting, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple rolled violently, and the next second, the emotions that had been accumulating for a long time burst out at this moment.
He strode over to Su Mengxue, hugged her tightly in his arms, and sobbed like a child, feeling aggrieved.
Su Mengxue hugged him tightly. She knew that he had suppressed his emotions for too long and needed to vent. She didn't say anything, but just patted his back quietly and shed tears silently.
After a long time, Gu Yunting finally raised his head. He looked at Su Mengxue and said in a hoarse voice, "Mengxue, you finally woke up... I've been waiting for you for a long, long time... So long that I thought you would never wake up again!"
His words were filled with uncontrollable excitement, and even his breathing was trembling.
Su Mengxue raised her hand and stroked his cheek, nodding at him while crying: "Yun Ting, I'm finally awake! It's so good to see you again!"
They smiled at each other, then hugged each other tightly again.
After they had calmed down a little, Su Mengxue told him what had happened to her over the years, including her career and Cheng Hao.
After listening to her, Gu Yunting held her hand tightly and promised her solemnly: "Mengxue, no matter what happens in the future, I will never let go of your hand."
Su Mengxue curled the corners of her lips slightly and replied meaningfully to him, "Okay."
When Gu Yunting told her about what had happened over the years, she learned that the old man had passed away three years ago. Her nose felt sore and she burst into tears.
Gu Yunting hurriedly comforted her, "Mengxue, Dad's greatest wish before he died was for you to wake up so that our family of three could live a good life. Now that you've woken up, if he's still alive, he'll rest in peace. I know his character, and he definitely wouldn't want to see you sad for him."
Su Mengxue nodded while crying, and felt very depressed when she thought about the past.
…
After a week of observation in the hospital, Su Mengxue was discharged smoothly.
As soon as they returned to the Gu family's old house, they received a call from the army. The order from above was that Gu Yunting would be stationed on the island for two years.
Gu Yunting turned down the offer without even thinking. Su Mengxue certainly knew the consequences of disobeying military orders, and she also knew that Gu Yunting turned it down because he was concerned about her.
She knew even more clearly about Gu Yunting's deep affection for the army, so she said without hesitation, "Yunting, don't refuse. I'm willing to take Zihao with me to the island to join the army!"
