Chapter 92 Limited Conditions
An hour later.
Qin Lie came out of Political Commissar Zhu's office, exuding a sense of decadence.
The voice of Political Commissar Zhu kept repeating in my mind.
"Qin Lie, in light of your recent performance, and after careful consideration and evaluation by the superiors, I must announce that your rank, Qin Lie, will be demoted from Major to Second Lieutenant, and from Deputy Battalion Commander to Deputy Platoon Leader."
The deputy battalion commander becomes the squad leader?
He joined the army at the age of 17. After surviving many dangers in the army for 8 years, he was promoted from a small soldier to a deputy battalion commander. Now, with just a few words, he has become a deputy platoon leader.
He wanted to scream and vent his anger, but found that he had nowhere to vent.
Qin Lie pushed the wheelchair and headed out of the office building in a daze.
"Have you heard? Captain Gu of the Third Regiment was injured during a mission, and it seems to be quite serious."
"Of course I heard about it. I heard he's still in a coma."
"I don't know if I can wake up."
…
Qin Lie stopped his wheelchair, and the overwhelming resentment in his heart was now covered by ecstasy.
Compared to Gu Xizhou who lost half his life, his demotion didn't seem like a big deal.
As long as he is alive, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the deputy battalion commander, or even the regimental commander.
With such a strange feeling, Qin Lie suddenly felt that it was okay to borrow money from a loan shark and returned to the family compound.
***
At the same time, in the hospital.
Gu Xizhou opened his eyes with difficulty, but still couldn't see the surroundings clearly.
Then I heard a cry in my ears.
"The captain is awake, wuwu... The captain is awake."
When Niu Erwa saw Gu Xizhou wake up, he pouted and started crying.
He thought the captain would never wake up again after trying to save him.
Looking at the young man who was over 1.7 meters tall and crying as if he was about to faint, Gu Xizhou looked away with some disgust.
Just then the door of the ward was pushed open and several people walked in.
Leading the group was an old man with gray hair and clothes covered with military insignias. The old man looked at Gu Xizhou with admiration in his eyes.
Xia Qiange, who was standing next to him, had red eyes and was about to pounce on him, but fortunately Gu Xizhou managed to avoid her. However, because of her big movement, Gu Xizhou's already pale face lost even more color.
"Gu Xizhou, are you okay?"
Before Gu Xizhou could say anything, the white-haired old man had already shouted, "Qian Ge, stop messing around."
When Xia Qiange heard her grandfather's angry scolding, she pouted and stood aside with some dissatisfaction.
"Commander Xia."
Gu Xizhou half-sat on the bed, about to raise his hand to salute Commander Xia.
"You've always been a stickler for formalities since you were little, and now that you're sick you're still concerned about these red tapes."
Commander Xia waved his hand helplessly to interrupt his salute, his face full of a kind smile towards the younger generation, and he didn't look like a commander at all.
"Your father knew you were in a coma, but he didn't sleep well for several nights."
Seeing Gu Xizhou's unmoved expression, Commander Xia sighed inwardly. Political Commissar Zhu, who was standing by, immediately tried to smooth things over and said to the doctor beside him, "Doctor, the patient is awake now. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the ward looked at him.
The doctor's eyes were full of regret. Although the hospital and the army were not in the same system, because the wounded would be sent to their hospital, he was very familiar with many officers in the army. Among them, the one he was most familiar with was Gu Xizhou, who was already a regimental commander at a young age. However, outsiders only saw the gorgeous appearance but not the hideous scars left by his military exploits.
"Captain Gu, you are very lucky this time."
When everyone heard this, they didn't feel relieved. They all sensed the heaviness in these words.
On the other hand, Gu Xizhou, the person involved, had a calm expression, but a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
Ever since he joined the army, he has been thinking about sacrificing himself at any time.
But there was an unexpected event in his fearless life.
Maybe I will be discharged from the army this time due to injury, but when I take off my military uniform and have only a weak body, will I still be worthy of Su Nanzhi?
Gu Xizhou was lost in thought when he heard the doctor's voice full of regret.
"Now that you've woken up, after a period of rest, your body should be fine."
"only……"
Having said that, the doctor paused slightly and turned to look at Xia Tiange, the only lesbian in the room.
Xia Tiange didn't understand what was going on and just thought Gu Xizhou's illness was serious. She immediately said to Gu Xizhou, "Gu Xizhou, no matter what you become, I, Xia Tiange, want to be your revolutionary partner."
Although his granddaughter has been clinging to Gu Xizhou since she was a child, Commander Xia couldn't help but blush at her granddaughter's words and actions.
"As a girl, you are so careless with your words. Xizhou must be blind to fall for you."
Commander Xia didn't give Xia Tiange a chance to refute. He frowned and said, "Go out and calm down."
Although Commander Xia was the grandfather who doted on her the most, Xia Tiange didn't dare to say much when he saw him angry, and walked out of the room reluctantly.
Gu Xizhou ignored Xia Tiange's resentful look and said directly to the doctor: "Doctor, just tell me directly."
"Captain Gu, you're lucky this time. The bullet was only a few centimeters away from your heart. The human body is a very sophisticated machine. If there's a problem with your body, it might manifest itself elsewhere, such as..."
At this point, the doctor paused for a moment before continuing, "When we examined you, we found that your fertility has been affected."
Gu Xizhou's pupils shrank, but his expression was extremely calm, as if the doctor was not talking about him at the moment.
As a gay man himself, and considering that a while ago a deputy battalion commander in the army had lost his fertility and caused a scene in the hospital, the doctor could understand Gu Xizhou's feelings at the moment.
He immediately comforted her, "Although your fertility has been affected and the possibility of having children in the future is very low, it will not affect your normal married life."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire ward fell silent.
Finally, it was Niu Erwa's crying that broke the silence. He burst into tears and said to Gu Xizhou, "Captain, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be unable to have children."
"I will be your son from now on."
Realizing that his words were somewhat ambiguous, Niu Erwa immediately explained: "No, I will let my son recognize you as his father when the time comes."
Gu Xizhou's mouth twitched. Niu Erwa didn't even have a partner, but he was making arrangements for his future son.
"Need not."
He doesn't want to have another cheap son.
Hearing Gu Xizhou's refusal, Niu Erwa immediately became anxious, "What will you do when you get old?"
Niu Erwa is a rural person and holds the common view among people today that raising children is a way to provide for one’s old age.
Even if Gu Xizhou becomes the head of a group, since he has lost his fertility, his later years will be miserable.
There are many people who share the same idea as him.
Commander Xia confirmed with the doctor again: "Doctor, is it incurable?"
The doctor was a little nervous in the face of his harsh questioning, but he didn't say anything final. "Our hospital's medical facilities are limited. Maybe we can get better treatment in a big city."
Having said that, he didn't think that big hospitals would be able to solve the problem.
Commander Xia was somewhat dissatisfied with the doctor's ambiguous words. "Can is can, can't is can't. What is possible?"
