Wei Aiguo finally managed to kiss Song Yan's soft lips before stopping. He couldn't stop now; he was in great discomfort, especially since he couldn't help but have arousal. He was also worried that Song Yan would see.
Wei Aiguo stopped, but didn't let go. He quietly held Song Yan for a long time.
"Lie down with me for a while, okay?"
Song Yan guessed that Wei Aiguo's clinginess might be partly due to the lingering fear from the battle. At this time, companionship was the best thing to do. Wei Aiguo's words, "I saw someone sacrifice themselves in front of me... a bloody mess," softened Song Yan's heart. Song Yan and Wei Aiguo lay on the bed, Song Yan trying to stay close to the edge.
Wei Aiguo: Why don't you ask me what kind of operation I participated in?
"Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Song Yan asked in return.
"Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said!"
Song Yan then switched to listening mode.
"Look at all the people who came today, they're all laughing and joking, but actually they're not feeling so good inside."
We got to know the two people who sacrificed their lives quite well. The people who were alive and well in front of us yesterday are gone in the blink of an eye.
In the instant of the explosion, I was thinking, "You're so young, Wei Ping and Wei An are still so young, and Mother is old..." After that, I knew nothing more.
Song Yan: "I hope you stay safe and sound. We're all waiting for you to come home."
We're all waiting for you to come home. These words made Wei Aiguo feel especially at ease, as if what had happened wasn't so terrible after all.
"I reckon our squad leader, Shen Dongqi, will be here again tomorrow..."
Song Yan: "I remember you said he was a platoon leader."
"We've regrouped, and he's the class monitor. You can't imagine how high our captain's position is."
Bai Shuang had saved him before, so he would visit her whenever he had time.
He not only watched his comrades sacrifice themselves before his eyes, but now he also sees Bai Shuang suffering like that.
He and Bai Shuang had a very deep relationship. He was even more heartbroken than I am now.
Xiao Yan! Go check on Bai Shuang! Okay?
Song Yan: "Did you talk to Shen Dongqi beforehand?"
In Song Yan's eyes, Bai Shuang wasn't just a pet, nor merely a military dog; she was like a wounded soldier. If she needed him, Song Yan would do his best. But Wei Aiguo's casual promises were different from being asked for his help.
"No, I didn't say anything today."
Song Yan: "Are military dogs kept in military dog training camps? Are there specialized hospitals there? Will they trust me and let me in?"
“Shen Dongqi has a very good relationship with them. If he knew that you know traditional Chinese medicine, and that I felt so much better after taking your medicine, he would ask you for help without me having to say anything.”
Song Yan: "Why call him Bai Shuang? I think a military dog's name should be very impressive."
"I heard that when Bai Shuang was little, she had a ring of very white hair around her neck, so she got that name. As she grew up, the hair on her neck turned gray."
Song Yan: "Whether I can help or not, I'm not sure. If you ask me to go, I'll go and take a look."
"Bai Shuang is injured, and one of his legs is broken. It is said that the fracture cannot be set. Right now, the main focus is on healing his injuries and saving his life. The leg will have to be amputated later."
Song Yan: "I went to the post office today to make a phone call and let them know I'm safe. My mother said everything is fine at home."...
Wei Aiguo really wanted to sleep with his wife like this, but his injury made it inconvenient.
Song Yan helped him find a comfortable position, settled him in, and then went to bed to rest himself…
I opened my eyes again, and it was broad daylight. It feels so good to be able to sleep peacefully.
When Wei Aiguo looked at Song Yan, she had just woken up. Both of them were still sleepy-eyed, and they smiled at each other.
Song Yan suddenly felt that this was what peaceful life was like...
Wei Aiguo first used one hand to roughly wash his face. Song Yan helped him wring out a wet towel, letting him wash himself. Song Yan then helped him with the parts he couldn't reach.
Wei Aiguo: "My left arm is being pulled along by this movement, but I haven't felt much pain today." He looked at his left arm; the shiny skin around his elbow was starting to wrinkle. "Is this the swelling going down?"
Song Yan glanced at it and said with certainty, "Yes."
Wei Aiguo then looked at his left leg. It was in a cast, so nothing was visible. However, the instep seemed unchanged.
Song Yan went to get the food, and they ate together when he returned. Today's dish was millet porridge, but it was a bit thin and lacked the rich aroma of millet.
Patients like Wei Aiguo, who are injured or ill, are entitled to one egg per day. Yesterday, Song Yan had some egg coupons but didn't use them, so she saved them up and bought two today. They were peeled, and one for each of them…
After finishing her meal and tidying up Wei Aiguo, Song Yan went out for a walk. When she returned, she was carrying a bowl of something greenish.
Wei Aiguo: "What are you holding?"
Song Yan rolled up Wei Aiguo's left trouser leg, saying, "These are herbs I dug up under the trees in the hospital's greenery. They have the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and reducing swelling." Actually, Song Yan had taken them from his spatial storage.
Song Yan hesitated, looking at the bed sheet. The herbs had been crushed into a sticky paste; if it got on the sheet, it would drip. What if it stained the bed sheet?
Song Yan thought for a moment, then ran to the nurses' office and asked if they had any waterproof items she could borrow. The nurses had special waterproof rubber sheets.
The nurse on duty was very easy to talk to; she lent the money to Song Yan after he wrote her an IOU. However, it was agreed that he would have to pay for any damage.
That's for sure.
When Song Yan returned, he laid the rubber sheet underneath.
The medicine paste was cool and refreshing, and it felt quite comfortable to apply it.
The nurse who came in to administer the IV saw it, but didn't say anything.
