“You scared me to death—!”
The uneasiness, worry, and fear of the past half month seemed to have found their source, so much so that Su Niannian gave up her previous pride and almost burst into tears.
Gu Zhiye pulled her into his arms and subconsciously hugged her tightly. As she cried, veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and his heart and chest felt stuffy at the same time. This strange feeling directly surpassed the pain in his arm. He stroked Su Niannian's hair with one hand, and said in a hoarse and restrained tone: "I'm fine, I just want to hug you."
For more than three months, he hadn't been so close to Su Niannian, and the urge to rub her into his bones and blood was roaring wildly.
In fact, he did so. He was almost reluctant to let go. He hugged her tighter and tighter, wishing there was no distance between them. In the silent night, Gu Zhiye's longing was hot and deafening, but Su Niannian quickly recovered from her previous loss of composure. She desperately pushed Gu Zhiye's shoulders with her hands, and her ears were red and bleeding.
"No... No, stay away."
"Can't I just hug you?!" Gu Zhiye's eyes turned red.
The obsession that supported him to escape death was Su Niannian. Thinking that if something happened to him, his wife would marry another man in the future, Gu Zhiye swam back from the sea with all his might. Even though he was frozen stiff and his life was hanging by a thread, he never gave up.
Maybe what others said was right, he just had a cheap life, but when the heart was obsessed, not even death could separate them. Su Niannian's resistance was more painful than the enemy's sharp blade cutting into the body, a million times more painful. Gu Zhiye lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line in pain.
The next second,
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared in shock at Su Niannian's slightly bulging belly. His uninjured hand carefully stroked it, and with a hint of panic, he asked blankly, "Is this... because you've gained weight?!"
It was the first time that Su Niannian saw Gu Zhiye in such an awkward state. She burst into laughter and said, "It's a child."
She held Gu Zhiye's hand, carefully avoiding the scars on the back of his hand, and covered her belly with it. Su Niannian pursed her lips and whispered, "It's been more than three months."
Gu Zhiye's eyes tightened, his expression showing shock, surprise, and uneasiness. He even opened and clenched his fingers, and the force he put on Su Niannian's belly was close to zero, as gentle as a feather. After a moment, his throat choked slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "That time in the hospital, it turns out that you and Jiang Xiaofei deceived me."
"Gu Zhiye, I'm sorry."
"You took the initiative to leave the child here. Have you ever considered the consequences? What's the meaning of your future in the art troupe and now that you're here in South Island? I tried my best to keep you and me at a distance, but now all my efforts have been wasted. Did you... did you come to South Island voluntarily?!"
These words were asked cautiously, and Gu Zhiye was overwhelmed by the surprise. Following that, he could not contain his excitement. He couldn't believe that in Su Niannian's heart, he or the child could make the other party give up everything in the art troupe. In the past, this was simply impossible.
Unreal and ethereal.
It's so unreal.
But this happiness is built on Su Niannian's career. To be honest, Gu Zhiye feels very uncomfortable.
"I am the person closest to you. Isn't it normal for me to come to South Island to find you? As your wife, do you want me to be cold and selfish, or are you actually dissatisfied with me keeping the baby in my belly? Don't you want it?!" Su Niannian's eyes also turned red. She stood there restrainedly, her body trembling slightly.
Gu Zhiye's heart ached.
He subconsciously held Su Niannian's hand to ensure her safety.
"Nianbao, I'm very happy, very happy."
"..."
Su Niannian glared at him angrily and tried to pull her hand away, but failed. Her hand was firmly grasped by Gu Zhiye. He used his broad back to block the surging sea breeze and comforted her in a deep voice: "Let's go home first."
Gu Zhiye held the delicate palm in his arms, and all the concealments, future and rumors were thrown behind his mind. Now his heart and eyes were full of his young wife and the baby in her belly. Fearing that the other party would catch a cold from the salty and humid sea breeze, he followed her back to the courtyard step by step, and only remembered the things hidden on his body a second before entering the door.
After giving a few words of explanation, he watched Su Niannian enter the house, and then he ran towards the regiment headquarters. He had seized a lot of useful intelligence about this beautiful enemy spy, and he must contact the organization as soon as possible to make a corresponding plan.
Su Niannian was dazed the moment she returned home.
Su Jianshan, who was sleeping soundly just now, immediately came up to her and asked anxiously, "Sister, where have you been? Are you okay?!"
Su Niannian stared at her brother and said word by word, "Gu Zhiye is back."
Her eyes sparkled.
"..." Su Jianshan shook his body visibly. He looked around the empty yard and swallowed hard, "Don't... don't be afraid. Prosperity, democracy, harmony... Brother will protect you."
Su Jianshan was afraid of ghosts since he was a child. He would be so scared when he heard about such things that he didn't even dare to go to the toilet alone. But at this moment, he stood firmly in front of his sister. Su Niannian took the opportunity to climb onto her brother's arm, her tone full of uncontrollable joy: "Brother, Gu Zhiye is fine, really fine! He's back alive!"
"Really?! Where are the people..."
"I went to the regiment headquarters."
"Is he injured? Didn't Captain Yan say there was a lot of blood on the boat? Is he feeling unwell? Why doesn't he go home and check first?!"
Su Jianshan's series of questions directly confused Su Niannian. The situation just now was too sudden. She was almost obsessed with the man the whole time. It was dark at night and she had no time to check if the other party was injured. It was not until her brother brought up the topic again that the siblings hurried to the regiment headquarters to look for Gu Zhiye.
Who knew that they would come up empty-handed, and the patrolling soldier told them that Gu Zhiye had gone to the infirmary. Did that mean he was really injured? !
Su Niannian was stunned and immediately quickened her pace.
The infirmary was just at the easternmost end of the regiment headquarters. A dim light came from the room at the end. Su Niannian held her breath, tucked in her clothes, and subconsciously slowed down her footsteps. The transparent glass window reflected the scene inside.
Gu Zhiye took off his coat, wearing only a vest, and sat on the edge of the bed. Unlike the skinny men of this era, his strong and powerful waist and hips, strong bones and tendons can be seen from the back. With the man's low breathing, the bulging of his abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen. His body and arms are covered with scars, some of which are even whitened by the sea water.
Balls of blood-stained cotton were thrown onto the plate.
Zhou Zhongying was wearing a white coat and a mask, bandaging the wound on the man's arm. At the same time, she asked a question that made Su Niannian want to go crazy.
"Deputy Captain Gu, I heard that your wife is pregnant?! An arranged marriage without love is a mess. Do you need the organization's help in coordinating matters regarding accompanying the troops..."
