Chapter 67: Awakening from a fierce battle

Li Zhan opened his eyes and saw Xia Juanjuan, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

While in the mountains, his wound became infected and he had a high fever. He vaguely remembered that he was suddenly in a very warm and beautiful farm, and his wife was taking a bath... Then his wife bandaged his wound and fed him medicine and food.

Then, he returned to the snow-swept barren mountain, and his wife somehow followed him. He also tricked the second in command into letting down his guard, and finally he was able to kill the second in command...

It was normal that he was in a confused state of mind at that time and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. I'm afraid his body predicted that he might not last long, so he subconsciously imagined that his wife appeared beside him and saw him for the last time?

But now, seeing Xia Juanjuan, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that everything he vaguely remembered was true?

"Wife... Juanjuan? Why are you here?"

Xia Juanjuan was actually sweating inside.

Would he...remember what happened last night? Would he suddenly ask about her and Space?

Even though the two of them had experienced life and death together, and she really wanted to take Lizhan into the space last night, but that was to save people.

Now that Lizhan is out of danger, she has calmed down, regained her senses, and her thoughts have changed.

Xia Juanjuan closed her eyes and quickly made up her mind that she would not bring up the matter of space again. If Li Zhan asked about it, she would pretend to be ignorant.

Before Xia Juanjuan could answer, Bai Zihan on the side said with a smile: "Didn't I drive to your house overnight to pick up your sister-in-law?"

Li Zhan glanced at Bai Zihan and frowned slightly: "Nonsense... I'm fine..."

Wouldn't it make her more worried if I took her over?

Bai Zihan teased, "Nothing? You almost died last night and you still say nothing? Besides, who asked me to send a telegram to my wife to report safety right after I woke up last night? Now that I've seen my wife, you're acting like a hero? Besides, if you hadn't been calling 'wife' while unconscious on the way from the county to Beijing, the chief wouldn't have directly ordered me to pick you up immediately."

Li Zhan couldn't help blushing.

He still remembered asking Bai Zihan to send a telegram on his behalf last night.

Mainly because the hallucination about Xia Juanjuan was too real, and he was afraid that she would worry, so as soon as he woke up, he thought about letting her know that he was safe.

Now that I think about it, this idea was pretty stupid.

If Xia Juanjuan was hallucinating, she would definitely not know that she was in danger of death. Wouldn't his telegram have backfired and made her worry?

Maybe... I somehow took those illusions as reality...

However, he kept calling her "wife" while he was unconscious, which was a bit embarrassing...

Li Zhan looked at Xia Juanjuan tenderly and said softly, "I'm fine now, don't worry too much."

When Xia Juanjuan heard Bai Zihan say that Lizhan had been calling her "wife" while he was unconscious, she was surprised at first, and then she couldn't help blushing. She nodded and replied vaguely: "Yeah. I'm glad you're okay..."

Li Zhan looked at Bai Zihan again: "You just mentioned the chief? And you're transferring to Beijing? Am I in Beijing now?"

Before Bai Zihan could answer, a young man in a white coat walked in from the door of the ward and said with a smile, "Of course it's in Beijing. And it's not just my dad. Even my old man sent someone to pick you up overnight when he heard that you were injured, had a high fever and were unconscious. This treatment is much better than what I, his own grandson, received!"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming. He subconsciously tried to sit up, but failed because of the pain in his wound and his weakness. However, he still shouted in surprise, "Third Brother Fu?"

The man's name was Fu Nanzheng, one of the doctors at Union Hospital and one of the grandsons of Mr. Fu who was in a wheelchair just now seen in the hospital lobby.

Fu Nanzheng glanced at Xia Juanjuan who was standing beside him. Surprise flashed across his eyes for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Is this Li Zhan's wife? She's pretty."

Xia Juanjuan blushed a little and couldn't help but glared at Fu Nanzheng.

Fu Nanzheng came over to check, then said: "Well, all the indicators are normal, the critical period has passed. The next step is to rest. You are still the same as before, and you are so cruel to yourself! Apart from other things, you cut out the bullet yourself and cut off the infected and necrotic parts with a knife. Most people can't do this. But fortunately, you did it this way, and you can save your life!"

When Li Zhan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He had a memory of cutting out the bullet, but he had no memory of cutting off the red, swollen, necrotic part...

Li Zhan looked at Xia Juanjuan, his eyes unfathomable.

Xia Juanjuan looked away feeling a little guilty. This matter...if we dig deeper, there's no guarantee that Li Zhan won't get suspicious.

But...when asked, she just doesn't know the answer!

Fortunately, Li Zhan did not ask anything, but turned to look at Fu Nanzheng and Bai Zihan: "Is the old man also frightened?"

Bai Zihan smiled and said, "That's right. Don't you know that just now in the lobby, as soon as the old man appeared, the atmosphere of the whole hospital was completely different! Fang Yunrou was almost scared to death."

As he was speaking, the old man came in, pushed by the middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Master Fu glared at Bai Zihan and said, "Am I a tiger? Can I scare people to death?"

Seeing this, Fu Nanzheng shouted, "Grandpa, Dad."

The middle-aged man in his forties or fifties is named Fu Weixin. He is Fu Nanzheng's father and the commander of the military region to which Li Zhan belongs.

Bai Zihan quickly stood still and shouted with a guilty conscience: "Old Chief, I was just exaggerating..."

When Lizhan saw his old man and Fu Weixin, he finally struggled to sit up, gave a standard military salute, and choked up as he shouted, "Old commander, commander, Lizhan... is back with the team!"

The old man glanced at Li Zhan, nodded, and said, "Just return to the team. Have a good rest!"

Lie Zhan answered seriously: "Yes!"

The old man looked at the people in the ward and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, you don't have to stay here. Can't you see that Li Zhan wants to rest? Li Zhan's wife can stay and accompany him."

When Bai Zihan and Fu Nanzheng heard this, they immediately left the ward.

Fu Nanzheng pushed his grandfather's wheelchair out of the ward, then said with a smile: "Grandpa, Li Zhan's wife is really pretty, but she looks...how should I put it? She looks familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere before..."

Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan were the only two people left in the ward. Xia Juanjuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Strictly speaking, they had only met once...

Lizhan felt distressed when he saw Xia Juanjuan's haggard face and dark circles under her eyes.

He struggled to get out of bed. Seeing this, Xia Juanjuan quickly reached out to help him and asked, "Do you want to go to the toilet? I'll help you..."
