Lu Zhengjun had never thought about how important her face was before.
For men, the most important thing is to be responsible and capable. Being good-looking is just a bonus, not a requirement.
But now he realizes that this idea is just wishful thinking.
He used to be good-looking, which allowed him to have such thoughts so casually. But now that he's no longer good-looking, or even disfigured, he realizes the importance of appearance.
Especially now that he's married and has a beautiful wife, he feels that appearance is even more important.
What if Su Yueya dislikes him?
Who wants to come home every day to a disfigured face?
Moreover, even if the burns heal, the scars will be very grotesque. Won't that scare Su Yueya?
Lu Zhengjun was extremely uneasy.
“Son, we don’t rely on our looks to make a living,” Lu Anguo comforted him.
"I understand, Dad," Lu Zhengjun said, pretending not to care, not wanting his father to worry about him.
However, Lu Zhengjun herself couldn't help but worry.
The bandages haven't been removed yet. If they are, his face will look like that...
Lu Zhengjun dared not think about it too much. Just the thought of that scene gave him a headache, and he didn't know how to continue.
Forget it, if you can't solve a problem, don't worry about it. After all, worrying won't solve anything, it will only make you feel worse.
That evening, Bai Xiuhui also arrived at the hospital.
"Son, you're finally awake!" Bai Xiuhui wanted to hug Lu Zhengjun, but seeing how he was wrapped up so tightly, she really didn't know how to do it.
A hand that's reached out can only be pulled back.
Lu Zhengjun raised his "fist" and touched his mother's hand. He wanted to smile at Bai Xiuhui, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
"Son, it's alright. The most important thing is that we're alive. As for the future... there's always a way to solve it." Bai Xiuhui appeared very optimistic.
Su Yueya's phone call today worked. As family members, they need to support Lu Zhengjun, and they must remain optimistic at times like these.
If everyone had a deadpan expression, what would Lu Zhengjun, as a patient, do?
Meanwhile, while Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui were with Lu Zhengjun, Su Yueya took some time to go back to her parents' home. She needed to have a good talk with her family about Lu Zhengjun's injury.
"Crescent Moon, shouldn't we go to the hospital to see Zhengjun?" Liu Yuying said.
She already knew about Lu Zhengjun's injury while she was in the army, and there were all sorts of rumors circulating in the army these days.
Everyone is speculating about Lu Zhengjun's current situation.
The former king of soldiers has fallen. Are people genuinely saddened, or are some just waiting to see him make a fool of himself?
"We definitely have to go see her," Qiao Hanxue said. He also felt sorry for Lu Zhengjun, but was also worried. "However, given Zhengjun's current condition, wouldn't our whole family going there make her feel even more burdened?"
Having worked in clinical settings, Qiao Hanxue was adept at understanding and managing patients' mindsets.
“Could it be? As Yueya’s family, we should go and see her,” Qiao Gaoyang said, unusually serious for him, unlike his usual carefree attitude.
Liu Yuying, Qiao Shouyan, and Qiao Gaoyang were all soldiers.
Lu Zhengjun was injured while carrying out a mission, and he is a hero worthy of respect. They should at least show him their respect.
"We have to go see her," Qiao Shouyan said, his gaze falling on Su Yueya.
Since the incident, the Qiao family has been worried not only about Lu Zhengjun, but also about Su Yueya.
Especially Su Yueya's future.
"Crescent Moon, have you thought about the future?" Qiao Shouyan asked.
As a soldier, he admired Lu Zhengjun, but as the eldest brother, he would naturally selfishly care about his sister's happiness.
These two feelings are contradictory, but I can't deceive myself.
At least in Qiao Shouyan's heart, he felt that his sister's happiness, especially Su Yueya, who had been separated from them since childhood and was only found halfway through their journey, was even more important.
"I have thought about it," Su Yueya nodded, completely oblivious to Qiao Shouyan's implied meaning, because she had never considered leaving Lu Zhengjun. "From now on, I will focus on treating Zhengjun's illness. I must cure him!"
"What if it can't be cured?" Qiao Gaoyang asked.
"Even if he can't be cured, I'll stay with him. At least his life is saved now. The worst that can happen is disfigurement and infertility..."
At this point, Su Yueya's tone became somewhat guilty.
She doesn't care about being disfigured or being unable to have children, but she worries that her parents and siblings will.
Fortunately, she was not the only child in the Qiao family.
“Mom and Dad, I’m sorry, but at least I still have my two older brothers and Xinruo. They will form new families and have children. If I don’t have children, can you please not blame Zhengjun?” Su Yueya asked.
She knew her parents wouldn't blame her, but she was afraid they would resent Lu Zhengjun.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child!" Liu Yuying said without even thinking.
Who doesn't want to hold their grandchildren?
But compared to their grandchildren, they were naturally more concerned about Su Yueya's happiness.
"Crescent Moon, as long as you decide to continue with Lu Zhengjun, then we will accept Zhengjun as our son-in-law, and we will definitely not have any bad intentions towards him." Qiao Hanxue spoke as the representative of the Qiao family, which was also a statement of their commitment.
“Yes,” Qiao Xinruo nodded, “Sister, we will treat our brother-in-law the same way we always have. Don’t worry about us.”
Su Yueya also faced difficulties.
As family, they will only support Su Yueya, not hold her back.
"Mom and Dad, brothers and sisters, thank you so much," Su Yueya said sincerely.
She used to be alone, but now she has family, family who unconditionally support any decision she makes, and she is truly happy.
At the same time, it also allows Su Yueya to move forward with greater determination.
“No matter what Lu Zhengjun does, as long as he doesn’t abandon me, I won’t leave him. I’m just worried… after such a big change, the rehabilitation afterward will be very difficult, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it psychologically…” Su Yueya said.
Qiao Xinruo looked at her sister, hesitating several times as if she wanted to say something.
However, with her parents and brothers all around, Qiao Xinruo swallowed some of her words, thinking that she would discuss it with her sister quietly when the time was right.
“No, that won’t happen,” Liu Yuying said, trusting Lu Zhengjun’s mental fortitude. “To get into the army, you need to pass the mental test first.”
The premise is that they enter the army through formal examinations. Of course, there are corrupt officials in various places, but those are just isolated cases.
“Yes, I also think that Lu Zhengjun wouldn’t want to die,” Qiao Shouyan said.
Since Lu Zhengjun became his brother-in-law, they had thoroughly "inquired" about him in the army, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to genuinely acknowledge it.
