Su Ying held his hand tightly and fed the shrimp he had just peeled to his mouth.
"So I need your help. If you can come to our hospital and help me, it should be possible."
Gu Jinghong didn't say anything for a long time, just kept looking at Su Ying, not knowing what he was thinking.
The meal was not pleasant. Although Gu Jinghong tried to control himself, it still affected Chen Shuyun. She only ate a few bites of the food in a hurry and said she was full.
Su Ying still had a good appetite. Gu Jinghong continued to peel shrimps and pick up vegetables for her in silence. She accepted all of them and ate them right away.
Before sending Chen Shuyun to the train, she was still worried and pulled Su Ying aside to whisper some instructions.
"Don't argue with Xiao Gu. Talk it out nicely. If you have anything to say, call Mom."
Su Ying stuffed her handbag into the luggage rack and stood in the aisle and whispered.
"Mom, no, he's just not mentally prepared and won't stop me."
Chen Shuyun also knew that Gu Jinghong had always been pampering Su Ying, but this time, it was not like they were separated in Beijing and Jiangcheng, this time they were abroad.
She didn't know where abroad was, but she knew it must be very far away and she couldn't see it just by buying a train ticket.
After seeing Chen Shuyun off, Su Ying and Gu Jinghong walked home together.
They took the bus when they came, and walked when they went home. Su Ying kept her head down, looking at Gu Jinghong's not-so-agile legs.
Most of his weight was still on the crutch, and he couldn't use that leg.
Gu Jinghong seemed to notice her gaze, and slowly straightened up, trying to walk faster. But after walking for a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Su Ying grabbed his arm, stopped and looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jinghong was tall and still stood as straight as a pine tree beside Su Ying, but because of the weakness of his legs, his posture was unstable after all.
Su Ying took out a handkerchief from her bag and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off his face.
"Lao Gu, you are a soldier. I hope you can run, train, fly fighter jets, and do whatever you want to do just like before."
She carefully wiped the sweat from Gu Jinghong's forehead and gently stroked his outline with her fingers.
If such an action had happened in the past, Gu Jinghong would have definitely taken her hand away long ago, and he would have had to look around carefully to see if anyone was seeing him.
But now, his eyes were filled with complexity and melancholy, and his voice was a little muffled.
"I know you did it for me. I saw your research report in your lab the other day, Su Ying. I know you've done a lot for me. You're so busy because of me, and you're going abroad for me, but... I can't bear to be separated from you."
He rarely said such words, and Su Ying felt very happy when she heard them.
She put her hand into Gu Jinghong's palm and continued walking forward with him.
"Actually, it's not all for you. Our country is indeed lagging behind at the moment, so we need to learn more. Whether it's technology, healthcare, or manufacturing, the country's rapid development is inseparable from these."
Gu Jinghong paused, turned to look at Su Ying, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"My wife has her own ambitions. If I don't support her, I'd be too narrow-minded."
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him and smiled at him again.
"Nonsense, my old Gu is defending our country, how can he not have a big picture?"
The two smiled at each other, but there was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in Gu Jinghong's smile.
The series of procedures required to go abroad are very troublesome, especially since Su Ying is Gu Jinghong's wife, the scrutiny is even stricter.
However, because of her own contributions in her own field, she also attracted the attention of senior management, and the procedures were finally completed.
Life abroad is very fulfilling. Apart from missing home and Gu Jinghong, Su Ying spends almost all of her remaining time studying.
Although she was also a medical student before, the things she was exposed to were still limited, so this time, she devoted most of her time to studying.
The research on artificial spinal cord nerves was not mature in foreign countries. Su Ying spent half an hour to get the professor's approval and joined his team.
When she returned to China, it was already two days later. She returned to Kyoto with the results of her research.
After several experiments in China, the artificial spinal cord project has entered the clinical stage, but it will take some time before Gu Jinghong can actually undergo surgery.
