From then until now, she has only been standing still.
Shen Ling stared blankly at her stomach, then suddenly remembered that before leaving the capital, she had gone to the tenement building for one last look.
Unexpectedly, this glance led to him running into Shen Zhihuan again.
However, the two people's circumstances are now worlds apart.
Shen Ling felt like a rat in the street. Before Shen Zhihuan could even see her, she hurriedly ran to the side and hid.
Her actions went unnoticed by anyone. Accompanied by her family and Xie Lanshen, Shen Zhihuan walked out of the alley.
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they walked.
"Today is a great day for Zhihuan's first day reporting to the military medical university. After we drop her off, we'll wait outside until she collects her things, and then we'll go to the restaurant to celebrate properly."
Zhao Haiyin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh non-stop whenever the restaurant was mentioned.
"We probably won't have the chance to eat at home for a while."
Hearing voices outside, Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan ran out of their yard and asked her with curiosity.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Aunt Zhao, is your stove broken? If you don't mind, you can come to my house for meals from now on."
"Thank you, sisters, but you've misunderstood. We can't eat at home not because the stove is broken, but because we have too many good things to celebrate."
Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
"I remember now, my brother-in-law has been promoted, so your family won't have to live in the courtyard house anymore. You can move to the military compound together!"
Although this is a good thing, Grandma Xie still looked somewhat worried.
"I'm worried about the flowers and plants in my yard. What will happen to them after I leave?"
"That's easy to talk about."
Cheng Xiangling patted her chest and took it all on.
“I live nearby. If Grandma Xie trusts me, you can leave the watering to me from now on.”
"That would be perfect, but wouldn't it be too much work for you?"
"Grandma, it's just watering the plants, it's a small thing and won't tire me out. Besides, we're really family now, so please don't be so polite with me."
The group walked away talking, but their cheerful voices seemed to still linger in my ears.
Shen Ling didn't emerge from her hiding place until she could no longer see Shen Zhihuan's back. Looking in the direction they left, she felt a mix of emotions.
It seems everyone else has found happiness, but she is the only one who is lonely.
Thinking of this, Shen Ling suddenly felt a wave of sorrow wash over her. Unable to suppress the pain in her heart, she turned around and lay back on the bed, crying silently under the covers.
She hated everything from the bottom of her heart. She didn't understand why God wouldn't give her a little more chance, even though she had already been reborn once.
If Shen Ling had known she would end up in such a mess, she would never have called off her marriage to the Xie family.
In that case, she's the one who can now live in the military compound.
All her emotions surged up at once, and just as Shen Ling felt unbearably uncomfortable, a dull pain suddenly began to throb in her chest.
The doctor's words to her when she left the hospital are now echoing in her ears.
"You may have some problems with your breasts. After resting for a while, remember to come back to the hospital for a follow-up examination."
Shen Ling didn't bother thinking about these things. Breast problems weren't a serious illness; it was just a way for these doctors to swindle money from people.
She now only hopes that her parents can be released soon, so that she won't have to be all alone anymore.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Shen Ling lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
She regretted it, she really regretted it. If she had known that being reborn would only make her life worse than before, she would have preferred not to have been reborn at all.
Now, watching helplessly as Shen Zhihuan finds happiness while she herself has no parents or family by her side, Shen Ling feels worse than if she were dead.
-
A few years later.
"Dr. Shen is back! Congratulations! If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who gave the speech at the graduation ceremony of the Military Medical University just now, right?"
Shen Zhihuan nodded slightly, her smile calm yet polite.
"Yes, I am very grateful to the teachers at the school for valuing me so much."
As she spoke, she glanced at her watch.
"It's getting late, and my family is waiting for me, so I'll head back now."
"Hey, Dr. Shen, don't be in such a hurry to leave. It's a rare opportunity to meet, let's chat a little longer."
The man smiled and stopped Shen Zhihuan, his gaze filled with undisguised admiration.
"What you've been through during this time has already spread far and wide."
“Not only are you an outstanding graduate of the military medical university, but I also know that during your studies, you cooperated with the military in carrying out many missions, and even went deep into the front lines.”
"It's really not easy for a girl to be so brave. I feel relieved to see that our country has talents like you in the future."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Shen Zhihuan's eyes. Ever since her story was reported in the news, she has gained a lot of fans.
This isn't the first or second time I've been stopped and chatted with on the street like this.
Thinking that there was nothing important to do later, Shen Zhihuan simply stopped and started chatting with the person in front of her.
"You flatter me."
"Oh, you flatter me, Dr. Shen, you are too modest. I applied to medical school because I took you as my role model. I know all your stories by heart."
The man started listing the items one by one on his fingers.
"You not only excelled in your individual actions, but you also cooperated exceptionally well with Commander Xie, performing nearly two hundred surgeries on the front lines."
"Saving so many lives is a huge achievement! No wonder the army promoted you on the spot before you even left the battlefield, and then promoted you to officer after you came back. You are truly amazing!"
Although everything the other person said was true, Shen Zhihuan still felt extremely ashamed when praised like that.
She waved her hands repeatedly, saying modestly, "Not at all, I was just doing what a battlefield medic should do."
"Dr. Shen, please don't be modest. We are very curious about your experiences on the battlefield. If you have time, we hope you can give us more interviews and tell us about your story as a battlefield medic."
A television set placed in the window of a nearby shop happened to be playing a related interview report.
The camera first focused on Shen Zhihuan's face. On television, she appeared elegant and composed, answering questions with a calm and measured tone, exuding a powerful aura.
The program team also specially labeled her with the title "Most Beautiful Military Doctor".
Then, the camera turned to Xie Lanshen.
