Ni Sitian shook her head; this shouldn't be a prank.
Pei Yang had kept his thoughts buried for far too long, and now no one believed him anymore.
"Ugh, why did it suddenly have to turn out like this? Everything was fine before." Xu Jiayue scratched her head in annoyance.
Ni Sitian lowered her head and took a sip of tea. Perhaps Pei Yang hadn't dared to show his feelings because he was afraid of changing their current relationship and couldn't take it any further? Also, the Pei family's situation was indeed chaotic.
"Jiayue, are you more worried about Pei Yang liking you lately, or about visiting Han Shizhao's house in a few days?" Ni Sitian put down her teacup, her words hitting the nail on the head.
Xu Jiayue was stunned. She had been so preoccupied with Pei Yang's affairs that she had forgotten about visiting Han Shizhao's family. She was just waiting for Han Shizhao to finish his mission and return before going.
They had originally planned for the two families to meet when Han Shizhao visited her home last time, but both Deputy Commander Han and Xu Haicheng were very busy, and Han Shizhao was also very busy, so they never had the chance to get together.
Han Shizhao had arranged with her before going on the mission that she would visit his home during the New Year's Day holiday.
Moreover, after her best friend married Ye Jinyan from the reconnaissance battalion, Han Shizhao formally proposed to her. He still put the ring in her hand and told her to take it first, and if she felt it was too fast, she could continue to consider it slowly.
“Jiayue, I’ve told you before that you don’t need to settle.” Ni Sitian could tell from her expression that she didn’t care much about Han Shizhao. To be honest, Jiayue originally wanted to break up with Han Shizhao, but she was moved by him and stimulated by Pei Yang’s words, so she agreed to consider Han Shizhao’s proposal.
She felt that such an impulsive decision was inevitably hasty. Now was still the time to clarify things; if they were to actually get married, it wouldn't be so easy for Han Shizhao, given his military status, to get a divorce, and it wouldn't be fair to him either.
Han Shizhao is a good soldier, a good man, and should be a good husband in the future. He deserves to be treated with all his heart.
"Let me think about it some more." Xu Jiayue was always decisive in her actions, but she wasn't so clear about matters of the heart. She sighed and looked up at Ni Sitian, saying, "My troubles are much smaller than Mu Zhi's. I ran into him a few days ago, and he looked terrible. It seems that Zhi Lan's passing has been a big blow to him. After Sister Su Yan received a bone marrow donation, he doesn't seem to have had time to visit her more than a few times."
When Ni Sitian heard Xu Jiayue mention this, she glanced at her water glass with a distant look in her eyes: "Some people, some things, you only realize how regrettable it is after you've lost them, but there's no medicine for regret in this world."
"Zhi Lan should be about to give birth by now. I wonder how she and the baby are doing." Although Xu Jiayue only met Xiang Zhi Lan at the end of last year, they got along quite well and were considered close friends despite not being close acquaintances.
“She always finds a way to live well.” Ni Sitian was absolutely certain of this. She looked at Xu Jiayue and asked, “But how is Su Yan’s recovery after her surgery?”
“I went to see her. She was still unconscious. The doctor said the surgery was relatively successful, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation to see if there will be any rejection reactions later,” Xu Jiayue said.
After her illness, Su Yan was able to face these old friends with equanimity.
Ni Sitian didn't know whether Su Yan's situation was fortunate or unfortunate. If it was unfortunate, she should have died in the plane crash. If it was fortunate, how could she have gotten leukemia and gone through so much trouble?
Hopefully, this time I can truly recover and no longer be tormented by illness.
