Gu Huanian frowned. He was indeed very anxious; he hadn't seen Su Li for a long time.
He was going crazy missing her, but he didn't want her to see him like this.
"You didn't notify my family, did you?"
The doctor shook his head. "Your comrade didn't tell your mother, but he did tell your father. He came to see you yesterday."
Gu Huanian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
When Zhang Da came to the hospital in the afternoon, he heard the news that Gu Huanian had woken up.
He excitedly ran straight into the ward and pushed open the door.
"Battalion Commander, you're awake?"
Gu Huanian nodded, and Zhang Da took the bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave it to him.
After he gave some to the battalion commander last time, there was still more than half a bottle left.
Thinking that this medicine must be very important to the battalion commander, he brought it over after hearing that he had woken up.
"Battalion Commander, do you know how scared I was? I saw you lying on the ground, almost not breathing. I quickly poured this medicine into your mouth. Thank goodness, thank goodness, you were still breathing when we got to the hospital."
Gu Huanian took the medicine. He was indeed on the verge of death at that time, and perhaps it was Su Li's medicine that saved his life.
He carefully placed the medicine close to his body.
Seeing how much he treasured this, Zhang Da said, "Commander, what a precious treasure this is! Can I have some too?"
"Dream on. Go find out how Su Li is doing now."
"OK."
Zhang Da thought that he hadn't dared to inform Chen Shujing before because he was afraid she would worry, but now that Gu Huanian was out of danger, he still had to inform her.
When Zhang Da arrived at Chen Shujing's house, no one was home.
He inquired further and learned that Chen Shujing had been staying with Su Li all this time.
He rushed over there.
The door to Su Li's house was open, and Chen Shuqing and Su Li were sitting under the jujube tree in the courtyard. What surprised Zhang Da was that Chen Shuqing was holding a baby in her arms.
He stood at the door and knocked before entering the courtyard.
"Auntie"
Chen Shujing knew Zhang Da, and she stood up and Su Li took the child from her.
"You guys chat, I'll go in first."
Su Li knew that there must be news from Gu Huanian's side, but she didn't want to get involved in that man's affairs.
Seeing Su Li go inside, Zhang Da felt a pang of sadness for his battalion commander.
"Comrade Zhang, did you come to see me because of news about my husband, Huan Nian?"
Zhang Da nodded: "The battalion commander is injured, but don't worry, he's out of danger now. I was thinking of asking you to come and see him."
Although Su Li was inside the room, the two people outside the courtyard were still talking quite loudly.
She still heard it, and when she heard that he was seriously injured, her heart couldn't help but clench in fear.
Holding her child, her eyes were filled with complex emotions. Even though they had already broken up, she still couldn't help but care about his affairs.
When Chen Shujing heard that Gu Huanian was injured, her heart tightened. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Zhang Da said that he was out of danger.
"Then I need to talk to Su Li first, and then I'll go with you."
Zhang Da said with a smile, "Don't hesitate to call Comrade Su over as well."
As soon as he said those words, he remembered the child that Su Li had been holding in her arms.
Whose child is that? Could it be that Comrade Su married someone else and had a child? If that were the case, he couldn't even bear to think about it; their battalion commander would probably go crazy if he found out.
Chen Shujing shook her head. The child was still too young, and besides, she knew that even if Gu Huanian was seriously injured, he was still alive.
Su Li definitely still doesn't want to see him.
Just as Zhang Da was about to ask whose child it was, he saw Chen Shujing walking towards Su Li's room.
Now that Su Li has just finished her postpartum confinement, Chen Shujing said to Su Li with a smile, "Su Li, Hua Nian is a little injured, I have to go and see him."
Su Li nodded, "Auntie, you go ahead! I can manage at home by myself. You can come back when he's better."
When Chen Shujing saw that Su Li showed no emotional reaction upon hearing that Gu Huanian was injured, she sighed softly.
Chen Shujing left with Zhang Da, but Su Li was still in a daze and didn't know how serious his injuries were.
On the way, Zhang Da looked at Chen Shujing and said with a smile, "Auntie, I just saw Comrade Su holding a child. Is that her child?"
Chen Shujing nodded.
Hearing this was like a bolt from the blue for Zhang Da. Could it be that Comrade Su really married someone else behind Gu Huanian's back? And got pregnant and gave birth in such a short time? Could her child have been premature? But it didn't seem like it!
If that's the case, what should their battalion commander do?
He was torn between telling the battalion commander about this, but in the end, for the sake of the commander's better recovery, he decided to keep it a secret for now.
What if the battalion commander gets agitated and suffers a stroke?
When Chen Shujing arrived at the hospital and listened to the doctor, she realized just how dangerous Gu Huanian's situation had been.
Aside from feeling sorry for her, there was nothing else she could do to help.
As soon as Gu Huanian saw his mother arrive, he glared at Zhang Da and said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't listen to the doctor."
Chen Shujing wiped away the tears of heartache on her face and nodded.
He looked at Chen Shujing and said, "Mom, how is A-Li while I've been away?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Da was afraid that Chen Shujing would say something that Gu Huanian couldn't accept.
He quickly stepped forward, laughing and saying, "Battalion Commander, Comrade Su's cheeks look rosy; he must have been doing quite well these past few days."
Gu Huanian felt reassured after hearing this.
Chen Shujing originally planned to tell Gu Huanian about his child with Su Li, but then she thought about how he was still injured.
