Chapter 422: Transfer to Beijing

Yan Haotian was first sent back to the military hospital in Guangzhou for treatment.

Li Zhan got the news first and secretly told Xia Juanjuan the news that night.

Xia Juanjuan was extremely anxious and hesitated whether to tell Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru the news.

If they don't tell him, if Yan Haotian can't make it, they might not even be able to see each other for the last time.

But if I tell them, I'm afraid they will be shocked and forget it all at once.

Li Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll make a report and ask if he can be transferred to a hospital in Beijing. That way, his family will be around and can take better care of him. According to the news from there, he is still unconscious, but his condition is relatively stable. If he can be transferred, I'll tell them, and they can go see your brother right away, and they won't be so anxious."

Xia Juanjuan listened, nodded, and said with a trembling voice: "Okay. Then I will go there through the space tomorrow to take a look."

Lizhan said, "Well, don't worry too much. He was able to hold on in such a bad situation on the battlefield. Now he has returned to the country, so he will be fine!"

The next day, Xia Juanjuan went to Guangzhou through space. Fortunately, Yan Haotian's comrades knew Xia Juanjuan, so she met Yan Haotian smoothly.

Xia Juanjuan vaguely said that she happened to be in Guangzhou for some work these days, so she rushed there immediately.

Yan Haotian hasn't woken up yet. He has a bandage around his chest and is still receiving an IV.

"The doctor said that as long as the wound doesn't get infected or worsen over the next two days, the critical period should be over," said Yan Haotian's comrade.

Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "Oh... that's good."

That night, Xia Juanjuan stayed in the ward with him.

At home, Lizhan lied and said that she had gone to sleep at a classmate's house.

The troops made arrangements quickly, and the next day we received news that they had agreed to transfer Yan Haotian and several other seriously injured soldiers to Beijing by a special plane.

Xia Juanjuan did not accompany them on the special plane, but returned via space.

After returning to Beijing, she told Chen Lu about Yan Haotian's injury.

After hearing this, Chen Lu's face turned pale and tears started to flow.

She tightly grasped Xia Juanjuan's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Is he okay? Where is he now? In Guangzhou? I... I will take leave and go back immediately..."

Seeing how anxious she was, Xia Juanjuan's alienation from her because of her retreat was somewhat alleviated.

Although she knew that relationships were a matter between the two parties, Chen Lu backed off, and as a bystander, she had no say in the matter.

However, people always have a sense of closeness and distance in their hearts. No matter how close she is to Chen Lu, Yan Haotian is definitely more important than Chen Lu.

"Don't worry. The army has agreed to send my brother and several other seriously injured soldiers to Beijing by special plane. They should arrive tomorrow. Everyone in the family is here, so it will be easier to take care of them."

After hearing this, Chen Lu nodded helplessly, but couldn't help but worry.

"But...will he refuse to see me? Will he...blame me?"

If she had known that he was going to carry out such a dangerous mission, she would never have broken up with Yan Haotian before the New Year, even if she had a quarrel with her family.

Although he respected her choice and never pestered her, she knew that he must have felt bad.

What kind of mood was he in when he went to the battlefield?

The next day, Yan Haotian was transferred to the military hospital in Beijing.

Li Zhan, Xia Juanjuan, and Chen Lu rushed over immediately.

After Yan Haotian arrived in Beijing, he had woken up, but his consciousness was still a little confused.

The doctor has checked it and the wound is not infected. I should be able to recover after resting.

Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan walked in, and Xia Juanjuan forced a smile and said, "Brother, you finally woke up."

When Yan Haotian saw Xia Juanjuan, he was stunned for a moment and asked weakly: "Juanjuan, Lizhan? Why are you here? Is this the country? I am not..."

Xia Juanjuan said quickly: "Brother, this is Beijing. After you were shot, your comrades carried you from the battlefield to the field hospital, and then sent you back to Guangzhou. Li Zhan asked the military region to coordinate and transfer you to Beijing for treatment. You have been unconscious for nine days."

"Oh... so that's how it is."

His memory still lingered on the whistling of bullets in his ears, followed by a sudden pain in his chest, and then he was vaguely being carried on someone's back...

"My parents don't know yet, right?" Yan Haotian asked.

Xia Juanjuan shook her head and said, "I didn't dare tell them. But the doctor said you've gotten better. I plan to tell them when I get home today. They should be able to come see you tomorrow morning."

Yan Haotian nodded and said, "That's fine. Just don't let them worry too much."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "I know. By the way, brother, there is another person who wants to see you."

Yan Haotian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again. He opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

Chen Lu had already appeared at the door timidly, her eyes swollen like walnuts from crying. When she saw Yan Haotian's pale face, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Xia Juanjuan pulled Li Zhan out and said, "Brother, you and Chen Lu should have a good talk. After Chen Lu knew you were on the battlefield, she has been worried about you. After hearing that you were injured, she almost bought a ticket back to Guangzhou to take care of you..."

That's all she can do.

Whether it can succeed or not depends on the luck of Chen Lu and Yan Haotian.

Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan went out and considerately closed the door.

With only the two of them left alone, Chen Lu felt a little uneasy. She carried a net bag of apples and walked to the bedside and sat down. She didn't dare to look at Yan Haotian and asked incoherently:

"Hao, Haotian, how are you? Does the wound hurt? You...I...I'll peel an apple for you..."

As he said this, he took the fruit knife next to him and peeled the apple.

Yan Haotian stared at her without blinking, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

"Chen Lu, do your family know that you are here to see me?" Yan Haotian asked softly.

Chen Lu paused for a moment with the fruit knife in her hand, then bit her lip and shook her head gently.

Yan Haotian looked at her for a while before looking away. He sighed softly and said, "Chen Lu, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you so worried. You should sit for a while and then go back. It would be bad for you if others knew about this."
