Suddenly I remembered the situation when I had head surgery. I vaguely remembered that I was taken into another space and heard them using some professional terms that I didn’t quite understand.
"I want to know, the surgery on my head wasn't performed at the First Hospital. You were just using the name of the operating room, right?"
"Yes, the situation was urgent. If you had delayed any further, your life would have been in danger."
Wang Xiaolan looked up at him, paused, and sighed.
"You have to understand that the medical equipment and conditions of this era are far from enough to perform a craniotomy. If I want to save your life, I can only use the advanced equipment of the 21st century. I can't perform such a major operation alone. I can only send you into space."
"And that time during the landslide, when I was buried under the rocks, was that also the space you used?"
"Yes. It's impossible for me to do it alone."
"I want to ask you, what was my wife's condition like when you came?"
"When I arrived, she had already passed away. Luckily, her body hadn't turned stiff yet, so I borrowed it and came back to life. But that old witch refused to believe what she was seeing and insisted on burying me. Fortunately, the people present stopped her, and I was able to save my life."
"Did she say anything to you?" Zhao Lihan continued to ask.
"No. I only received some incomplete memories of hers. Fortunately, your two sisters helped me recover the rest of her memories."
"Oh!" Zhao Lihan pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder how she is doing now. Do you know?"
"I don't know about that because I have no connection with her."
Wang Xiaolan paused for a moment and swallowed.
"I just saw her in a dream. She just told me to take good care of her two children, and then she disappeared."
"That's all?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded.
"Did she mention me?"
"No."
"I can't blame her for this. She and I have only been together for about two months, and we can't say we have a deep relationship. We are soldiers, so we don't have that much time for romance. As long as both parties have no objection, we get married. Relationships are cultivated slowly."
He was silent for a moment.
"Afterwards, I had an accident and never contacted her again. What I didn't expect was that after I returned to the army, she suffered such unbearable abuse and hardship in our home. Thinking about it now, I feel so sorry for her. If I had known this would be the outcome, I should have taken her to the army."
As he spoke, his voice became choked, and he lowered his head in pain, and the cigarette between his fingers was crushed into pieces.
"I have to thank her for giving birth to my son during her most difficult time."
"It really wasn't easy for her. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until I gave birth."
Zhao Lihan blamed himself and said, "This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have left me like this."
"This is not your fault, but the fault of your so-called father and Huang Jinhua."
Zhao Lihan asked Wang Xiaolan tentatively: "Did you dream about her later?"
"Yes, I dreamed that she was with my mother."
"Do you mean, she went to your era?"
"It's possible. It's just a dream, or maybe she's trying to convey a message to me this way."
"If that's the case, I'll feel better. At least she won't suffer in your house anymore. Otherwise, I'll be condemned by my conscience."
Wang Xiaolan looked up at the sky and muttered to herself, "How wonderful it would be if dreams were real! At least my parents would have someone to take care of them."
"Yes! I hope so."
"By the way, I want to ask you again, you said that the college entrance examination will be resumed in the future, is that true?"
"Yes, after November 21st of next year."
Zhao Lihan was silent. He turned around, facing the moonlight, and fell into deep thought. In fact, he had noticed Wang Xiaolan's abnormality on the day he returned home, but he just didn't want to believe it.
At that time, he still couldn't be sure that she was not his daughter-in-law, but he got some incredible information when she had a high fever.
Zhao Lihan suddenly asked, "110, 120, what does this mean?"
"110, that was the number for the police center back then. 120 was the number for the ambulance. It was the customer service number for mobile phones."
"What does mobile phone mean?"
"It's like today's telephones, the kind that are wireless and can be put in your pocket so you can answer calls at any time."
“Is it that advanced?”
"You can only understand the power of technology when you reach that era."
"Also, you mentioned two people while you were having a high fever. Is Liu Feng also from your generation?"
"Yes, he was my childhood friend in my previous life. We were in a car accident on the same day."
"I have another question, would you mind answering it?"
"Go ahead and I'll do my best to answer."
"I mean, if we got divorced, would you stay with him?"
"That's impossible. We only have brother-sister affection, not man-woman affection. If we were destined to be together, we would have been husband and wife in our past lives. He even joked that we have no fate in this life or the past."
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, Zhao Lihan turned around again, facing the wilderness, without saying a word, and continued smoking his cigarette.
Wang Xiaolan gazed at Zhao Lihan's back in the moonlight. She knew he still had feelings for the original owner, and she felt an indescribable jealousy. She wasn't even sure if she needed to stay any longer.
If it really comes to this, it would be a bit hard to let go. Especially the two children, she already treats them as her own children, and the two sisters, she treats them as her own sisters.
As for Zhao Lihan, he did like her. But judging by his current expression, he seemed reluctant to let go of the original owner, and he couldn't be sure if he would accept him.
Now that we've talked it out, the stone that was weighing on my heart is finally gone.
At this moment, a cool breeze mixed with the smell of smoke blew in Wang Xiaolan's face, choking her and causing her to cough violently.
Seeing her coughing, Zhao Lihan quickly put out the cigarette in his hand, walked over quickly and patted her back gently.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have smoked. I choked you."
When Wang Xiaolan heard what he said, an inexplicable resentment suddenly surged in her heart. She subconsciously pushed Zhao Lihan away and turned her body to the side.
"It's none of your business. I've had a cold these days."
When Zhao Lihan heard her say this, he quickly took off his coat and put it on her.
Wang Xiaolan refused his offer to put the clothes on her and said, "You put them on yourself! I'm not cold."
"What's wrong with you? Are you angry with me?"
Wang Xiaolan, feeling a little unhappy, simply replied calmly: "I didn't."
Zhao Lihan stood aside holding his clothes, at a loss.
Wang Xiaolan stopped coughing, ignored Zhao Lihan, and went straight into the room.
