One of Gu Zhinian's ankles was swollen, and the other leg was only bruised at the knee, so she couldn't walk at all. Zhou Zhichuan bent down, picked her up, and walked to the car.
"I'll take you back. Where do you live?"
"Military family compound."
Zhou Zhichuan sent the driver back and drove to pick her up himself. Gu Zhinian rummaged through the basket and found that the vegetables and cloth she had bought were still there.
People of that era were very simple and kind, and helped her put away all the vegetables.
Zhou Zhichuan looked up at the rearview mirror. The delicate and frail woman was leaning weakly, her brows furrowed, her hair scattered messily on her face. There was a kind of messy beauty in her that made people's hearts palpitate.
“Are you a military wife?”
"No, she's a babysitter who takes care of other people's children."
Zhou Zhichuan curled the corners of his lips, "Is that so? That's good."
"My name is Zhou Zhichuan, what's yours?"
"Gu Zhinian."
When the car arrived at the gate of the military unit, unfamiliar vehicles were not allowed in. Zhou Zhichuan parked his car outside and signed to register before he was allowed in.
Zhou Zhichuan wanted to carry her in again, but Gu Zhinian refused him.
"Help me in, there are a lot of people in there, and if we are seen, people will gossip about us."
"Can you walk?"
Zhou Zhichuan looked at her worriedly. Gu Zhinian held onto the car door and slowly moved out of the car. The leg with the swollen ankle was in so much pain that she dared not exert any strength.
Zhou Zhichuan supported her and walked slowly forward, holding the vegetable basket in his other hand. A passing military wife recognized her.
"Xiao Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Zhinian turned around and saw that it was Li Xiufang.
"Sister-in-law, I fell and hurt my bones."
"Ouch!" Li Xiufang slapped her thigh and cried out, then went forward to support her.
"I'll help you in."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome!"
The curious woman saw a handsome man next to Xiao Gu and quickly ran to the training ground to find Captain Yun.
"Captain Yun! Go check at the entrance to the military base! Your babysitter is injured, and her foot is swollen!"
Yun Muye was watching the soldiers training when he heard the shouts of several sisters-in-law. He ran to the door and saw Gu Zhinian limping on the support of a soldier's wife from a distance. His heart ached instantly.
"Zhi Nian!"
Yun Muye ran over and picked her up. Li Xiufang started talking loudly again.
"Captain Yun, look at Xiao Gu's foot. It's swollen like a big steamed bun. It hurts just looking at it."
Zhou Zhichuan stepped forward to stop them. Yun Muye held the woman tightly in his arms and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Zhou Zhichuan. My nephew bumped into this girl. I took her to the hospital. Her bones were dislocated, but they're healed now. She just needs to take good care of herself."
Yun Muye looked down at her ankle, which was swollen. Gu Zhinian lowered her head and wanted to get down.
"I'm fine now. I can come down and walk on my own."
"Don't move, I'll carry you home."
He hugged Gu Zhinian tightly with heartache, his face gloomy, and strode home. Zhou Zhichuan followed behind with a basket of vegetables.
After opening the door, Yun Muye walked in, asked Zhou Zhichuan to put down the vegetable basket and medicine, and then closed the door with a "bang".
Zhou Zhichuan: "..."
Is this Gu Zhinian's employer? Why does he feel more like a husband?
The domineering possessiveness in a man's eyes is the look a man has towards his beloved woman.
There was no need for Gu Zhinian to lie to him. Zhou Zhichuan walked down the stairs and saw a group of women sitting under a big tree.
Seeing Zhou Zhichuan, he asked him with a smile,
"Comrade, how did Xiao Gu fall?"
Zhou Zhichuan told the women about his nephew bumping into her, and they sighed.
"Xiao Gu is so unlucky. He went to buy some groceries and got hit and broke his bones."
Zhou Zhichuan asked the question in his mind, "Comrade Gu is working as a nanny here?"
"Yes, Captain Yun has a three-year-old son, and we asked Xiao Gu to take care of the child."
"Thank you." Zhou Zhichuan got the answer, looked back, turned around and left.
As Yun Muye carried Gu Zhinian into the house, little Tangyuan happily rushed over. Seeing his father holding his mother, he looked up and asked:
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Yunshuang also ran over, "Sister Zhinian, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Yun Muye held her and put her on the bed, squatting down to take off her shoes. Little Tangyuan climbed onto the bed with all her strength and lay beside her, her eyes red with worry.
"Mommy is injured, baby will comfort you."
Gu Zhinian comforted him, "Baby, I'm fine, don't cry."
Yunshuang also squeezed beside the bed, "Sister Zhinian, does it hurt?"
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Yun Muye poured a glass of honey water into her hand.
"Drink the water to warm yourself up."
"Thanks."
Yun Muye placed two pillows on the bedside and took off her thick cotton jacket and scarf, which Yun Shuang took attentively.
Gu Zhinian felt warm in her heart as she watched the three people surrounding her.
