Chapter 732: Let's scare him first.
Bai Zhi led Lu Shan into the house.
"Sis, this is my and Lu Ye's home. Feel free to take a look around."
Lu Shan looked around the house and then spoke with a smile.
"It's pretty nice, a very cozy little home."
Looking at the photos of the young couple hanging on the wall of their living room, as well as the various furnishings in the room, Lu Shan's eyes were filled with envy.
Having such a small home with the person you love most is such a happy thing.
But for her, that was a luxury.
"Sister, please sit down. I'll go cook for us."
Bai Zhi went to the kitchen, and Lu Shan followed. "What are you going to do? I'll help you."
"There are vegetables in the refrigerator, I'll cook two dishes and make some porridge."
It's already quite late, so I can only do something simple.
I'll take Lu Shan out for a nice meal tomorrow.
Bai Zhi quickly started picking and chopping vegetables, and Lu Shan helped her.
Although she appeared normal and was chatting casually with Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi knew that she was definitely thinking about Gu Jingyi.
However, Lu Ye's approach was not without reason. If the problem between Lu Shan and Gu Jingyi was not resolved, there was no point in keeping her in the hospital.
Now we're just waiting for Lu Ye to come back and hear what he has to say.
What exactly is the knot in Gu Jingyi's heart?
Only after this problem is solved will he accept Lu Shan.
Seeing Lu Shan absentmindedly picking vegetables, Bai Zhi gently comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, Battalion Commander Gu will be fine. He probably just woke up and saw you for the first time, so he's not mentally prepared yet. He'll accept you once he's thought things through."
"I see."
Just as the two were finishing cooking, Lu Ye returned.
Seeing her younger brother, Lu Shan's expression brightened slightly, and she came out, eager to know what Lu Ye and Gu Jingyi had talked about in the ward.
By now, the dishes were cooked, and Lu Ye went to the kitchen to help serve them. As soon as the food was on the table, Lu Shan couldn't wait any longer and asked him, "Xiao Ye, what did Gu Jingyi say to you?"
"Sis, I told you, he has a problem."
Lu Shan lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "Is it because of what happened two years ago that he won't forgive me?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "It's not that bad."
What happened two years ago was not Lu Shan's fault.
Gu Jingyi is a soldier; he is a man of faith and will not act impulsively.
Lu Ye said,
“I talked to him a lot, and from his words I could tell that he mainly felt that he was too badly hurt and was not good enough for you.”
Lu Ye continued, expressing his opinion, "There's another reason, which is probably related to our parents. After all, his father was my grandfather's subordinate back then, and something like that happened on the battlefield. He might not have the courage to be with you and face our elders."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shan quickly stated, "These are not problems."
"How could I possibly despise him? No matter what he becomes, I will never leave him."
"And the fact that his father was a deserter has nothing to do with him. Two years ago, it was because I was arrogant and impulsive that I said such hurtful things to him after learning about his father's situation. So much time has passed, and I've long since come to terms with it. He is him, and his father is his father. Besides, from his father's perspective, it's not shameful for a teenage soldier to desert in the face of battle. That's the battlefield!"
Now, after being tempered by life, she has gradually learned to think from other people's perspectives.
Lu Shan added, "Didn't Grandpa forgive his father later? We shouldn't hold a grudge against him for this."
Bai Zhi finally understood Gu Jingyi's difficulties and concerns. She sighed, "That's what we think, but Battalion Commander Gu doesn't think that way."
He probably felt inferior in front of Lu Shan.
Perhaps it was only because of his father's situation that he felt he couldn't hold his head up in front of Lu Shan.
Now, given his health condition, he feels even more unworthy of her.
That's why he's unwilling to accept her.
Lu Ye said, "So we need to help him resolve his inner conflict first."
"I'll go explain to him," Lu Shan said, getting up and heading back to the hospital.
Lu Ye stopped her.
"If he had listened to your explanation, he wouldn't be acting the way he does now."
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Lu Shan stopped in her tracks.
"Sister, please have a seat."
Bai Zhi pulled Lu Shan to sit down, then looked at Lu Ye and asked, "Brother Ye, what are your thoughts? Shouldn't we dispel his doubts first, and the problem will be easily solved?"
Lu Ye patted her head and smiled indulgently, "As expected of my smart wife, your thoughts coincide with mine."
Lu Shan stood anxiously to the side. Seeing him question why the young couple were still so affectionate at this time, she couldn't help but feel impatient. She asked, "How can we dispel his doubts?"
A sly glint flashed in Lu Ye's eyes. "Let's scare him a little first."
Lu Shan became anxious, "Why are you scaring him? He's already like that, and you're still scaring him."
"The problem won't be solved unless we scare him."
Lu Ye said to her, "You should get a good rest here tonight, and don't rush to Battalion Commander Gu's ward tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shan's expression became conflicted.
She couldn't rest easy thinking about Gu Jingyi lying there all alone.
I wonder if he ate dinner tonight?
Lu Ye then looked at Bai Zhi and spoke.
"Xiaobai, you too, let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon when you have your acupuncture. Don't go to his ward before then."
Bai Zhi nodded very cooperatively, "Okay."
"What exactly are you thinking?" Lu Shan couldn't understand how Lu Ye was trying to scare Gu Jingyi.
He's so sick, he can't handle being frightened.
Lu Ye replied, "Political Commissar Zhang will handle the rest. Just wait patiently."
"Alright, let's eat first."
Lu Shan wanted to ask something more, but she didn't intend to continue the conversation. She considerately served the two ladies some food and began to eat.
........
Hospital ward.
That night, Gu Jingyi felt particularly uncomfortable after the anesthesia wore off.
He lay stiffly in bed all night, his thoughts wandering.
My gaze unconsciously drifted towards the door countless times.
During the night, only the nurses came in to check on me a few times.
When morning came, he finally gave a bitter laugh.
Isn't this exactly what I've been hoping for?
She left and started a new life, which was a relief for him as well.
How could he possibly be worthy of her in his current state?
So he should feel relieved, but why is his heart aching so much?
In the past two years, during countless agonizing nights, he would always recall the harsh words she had uttered in front of him.
He earned his dignity by living a life of constant danger for two years.
I saw her the moment I got back.
Two years.
He walked on thin ice in the drug den, and she felt guilty and remorseful for two years.
Now everything has settled down.
They should all go back to their places.
But why is his heart aching so much?
A nurse came in at 7 a.m. to draw his blood, saying that further tests were needed.
Next came the doctor's rounds.
His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the area behind Director Wang and the others.
But I didn't see any familiar figures.
