As Su Niannian's tears fell, the edge of the dream began to melt, and even Gu Zhiye's cold eyebrows became unclear, and his body had no temperature at all.
It's all a dream.
A chill crept up along Su Niannian's tailbone. She shuddered and her eyes suddenly opened. Her forehead was already covered with cold sweat. Pressing on her chest was Gu Zhiye's military blanket. The room was empty, with no signs of anyone having been there. Even the air was filled with the smell of dust and mold.
A feeling of loss arose from her heart. Su Niannian didn't know for a moment whether it was a dream or a nightmare. Anyway, it didn't seem like a good omen. She pursed her lips and her face was terribly serious.
From inside the yard came the sound of Su Jianshan chatting with someone, and it sounded like a lesbian.
Su Niannian's eyes fell on the wood carving on the table, and she suddenly became interested. She took the carving knife on the cabinet and rubbed the unpolished edge carefully. When she was abroad, she learned carpentry from a sister from the United States and knew a little about carving. Now she urgently needed to do something to relieve her anxious mood.
As Zhou Zhongying followed Su Jianshan into the house, he saw the beautiful girl sitting at the table. She was wearing a thin white shirt and blue cloth trousers. Her back was straight and her face was as fresh as a newly opened flower bud, pink and tender. She did not have any of the vicissitudes of life like those married military wives on South Island. Doctor Gu said that she was pregnant with Gu Zhiye's child. With such a frail body, could she get pregnant?
She was very suspicious.
Zhou Zhongying walked closer quickly, and when she saw that Su Niannian was holding Gu Zhiye's favorite wood carving, she instinctively shouted, "Wait! You can't touch this thing!"
Su Niannian was startled by her, and the carving knife in her hand stabbed her hand, and bright red blood immediately appeared. Su Jianshan, who was smiling just now, changed his expression in an instant. He took the handkerchief on the washstand and pressed it on his sister's hand, and whispered, "This thing is dangerous, sister, don't play with it."
When Su Niannian didn't smile, she looked as cold as ice. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like satin, which made her face look even more delicate. Her lips were rosy, making her a most beautiful woman in the world.
Even her skin was as white as a peeled egg, and even the pores could not be seen if you looked closely. It was a far cry from the women on the South Island who were tanned yellow. Zhou Zhongying was stunned by her beauty, and felt sour inside. After meeting Su Niannian's puzzled eyes, she held her breath and explained.
"I'm Zhou Zhongying, a Chinese medicine practitioner accompanying the South Island troops. I'm also a good friend of Deputy Commander Gu. The wooden sculpture in your hand is Deputy Commander Gu's favorite item. He usually doesn't let us touch it. By the way, Doctor Gu said you're pregnant. I came here for a routine check-up. Let me take your pulse."
"Thank you." Su Niannian stretched out her hand.
Zhou Zhongying felt the pulse and felt that the skin under his fingers was soft and smooth, indescribably white and greasy. Although the fetus in the belly showed signs of weakness, it was still recovering well. I heard that this person was from a farm in the countryside, but she had a very good temperament and was very beautiful. Zhou Zhongying's eyes were dazed and he subconsciously asked, "I heard that you and Captain Gu were engaged when you were children, and you haven't even met twice. How can you think of having a child?"
"..." The question was inexplicably filled with hostility.
Even Su Jianshan, who was washing the towel next to him, raised his head. He answered blankly and puzzledly, "My brother-in-law made me pregnant!"
Su Niannian saw at a glance the feelings this female doctor had for Gu Zhiye. Unlike Jiang Xiaofei who was straightforward, this one was hiding her feelings. Su Niannian lowered her eyes and smiled, "This kind of thing is not suitable to be said openly. With Gu Zhiye's personality, he will get angry."
Zhou Zhongying looked embarrassed, she had indeed spoken out of turn.
But this fact is really suspicious. If the female comrade in front of her was really pregnant from the beginning, would Gu Zhiye, who is responsible, choose to live apart? The only possibility is that there is something wrong with the baby in her belly. Now that Deputy Head Gu is in trouble, it is difficult to defend himself. In other words, it is hard to say whether the baby in her belly is Deputy Head Gu's. She wants to interrogate him clearly.
Su Jianshan pretended not to understand the expression on his face and kicked out the doctor who was helping with the examination with just a few words. He looked sour and obviously understood the subtext of others.
Gu Zhiye's authority on the island was so great that in everyone's mind, he was a victim in this relationship. It was Su Niannian's fault that she couldn't come to South Island with him. From the very beginning, it could be seen from Dr. Gu's attitude that the people on the island did not welcome them. If it weren't for Su Niannian being pregnant, her treatment would have plummeted. A woman who despises the poor and loves the rich will always be looked down upon.
Su Jianshan was too lazy to bother with these twists and turns.
Every day I run to the beach with people around me.
Su Niannian lived here for half a month. Under the care of Dr. Gu and others, her stomach gradually swelled up like a blown-up ball. At the same time, she finally understood where those shells under the eaves came from. Every two days, a ragged child would come to the Gu family with a basket of shells to exchange for food.
It is said that Gu Zhiye gave them a special treat. As time went by, there were many shells piled up in the house. Most of them were very beautiful in style, and they showed Gu Zhiye's kind and friendly heart.
The particularly small ones were strung together by Su Niannian with fishing line and made into shell wind chimes, which were hung under the eaves, making tinkling sounds.
In just half a month, Gu Zhiye's small courtyard became more and more popular. One day, just as Su Niannian threw the shells into the basin, Su Jianshan rushed in and said excitedly: "He's...back! My brother-in-law...is back!"
Su Niannian's pupils suddenly shrank, and she ran towards the regiment headquarters. Who knew that what she was greeted with was bad news. The person who came back was not Gu Zhiye, but the ship that had carried Gu Zhiye and others. There was a lot of blood on the ship, and all the evidence indicated that Deputy Commander Gu had been killed.
Captain Yan looked at Su Niannian with eyes full of guilt. He had received the mission and had to rush back to the northwest to deal with Gu Zhiye's follow-up matters. He would do his best to settle Su Niannian and her son, and the pension would be paid according to the highest standards.
Those people's mouths opened and closed, and Su Niannian could no longer hear what they were saying. Her eyes went dark and she fainted. When she woke up, it was already late at night. There was a black head crawling beside the bed, snoring loudly.
Su Niannian quietly got out of bed, avoided Su Jianshan, and walked towards the beach in the dark night. Due to her physical condition, she had never been to the beach since she came to South Island. The beach was full of reefs and huge waves, and it was very dangerous. It was this danger that swallowed Gu Zhiye's life.
Until his death, the man didn't know that he had left behind a bloodline. At this moment, regret finally came over her like a tidal wave, almost crushing Su Niannian. She stood on a huge rock by the sea, tears streaming silently.
A "crackling" sound came from behind a reef not far away.
Su Niannian looked in the direction of the voice, and her tearful eyes met the disheveled man for an instant. There was astonishment in Gu Zhiye's cold eyes. He had become darker and thinner, but his eyes were particularly bright.
"Gu Zhiye?!" She was afraid that this was still an illusion.
Gu Zhiye staggered over, grabbed Su Niannian's hand, and gently pulled her into his arms.
It was a familiar, unfamiliar, and warm embrace that instantly made Su Niannian hug the man tightly and burst into tears...
