Since Song Shishi had said so, Xie Yushan naturally had nothing to say.
"In that case, be careful when you go back. I have a dinner party, so I won't care about you anymore."
Song Shishi nodded when she heard this, "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Xie Yushan, Song Shishi hurried to the hospital with the sorted materials and notes.
Pushing open the half-open door of the ward, warm yellow light poured out.
Meng Xunzhou was sitting at the bedside, reading the newspaper intently.
Song Shishi glanced around the ward but did not see Meng Xiaoqi.
Meng Xunzhou heard the noise and subconsciously looked up at the door.
The moment he saw Song Shishi, his eyes lit up instantly and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
...
...
He stretched out his hand towards Song Shishi, "Wife, are you done?"
Song Shishi walked to the bed and sat down gently.
"Well, how are you feeling today? Does the wound still hurt?"
Meng Xunzhou smiled and held her hand, the coldness of which made him frown slightly.
"I'm much better now. Are you tired today?"
As he spoke, he pulled Song Shishi's other hand over and held it tightly in his palm, trying to use his body temperature to dispel the coldness on her body.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Where's Xiaoqi? Didn't she stay to accompany you? Why can't I see her?"
"My parents just came over, and she went downstairs to see them off."
Song Shishi was wondering why she didn't meet Fu Shuxian and the others when she came up just now, and then she heard Meng Xiaoqi's voice coming from behind her.
"Sister-in-law, when did you come?"
Song Shishi turned around with a gentle smile on her face.
"I just arrived, and my parents have already gone back?"
"Well, sister-in-law, you have to go to work every day. Do you have to go back to the compound tonight?"
As Meng Xiaoqi spoke, she packed the things that Fu Shuxian and the others had just brought into the cabinet.
“Well, I’ll be busy over the next few days, so I may not have time to come.
You should work harder and take good care of your brother in the hospital.
When your brother is discharged from the hospital, I will make you your favorite plum blossom cake."
Song Shishi peeled an apple and handed it to Meng Xiaoqi, then took another one from the bedside table and peeled it carefully.
Meng Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Seeing Song Shishi nod, Meng Xiaoqi cheered: "Sister-in-law, I love you the most."
Because she had to read some information at night, Song Shishi didn't stay in the hospital for too long.
After she handed the peeled apple to Meng Xunzhou, she stood up, took her things and prepared to go back.
Although Meng Xunzhou was reluctant to let her go, he was worried that it would be unsafe for her to walk at night.
"Then you should go back early and be careful on the road."
After Song Shishi left for a while, Meng Xiaoqi suddenly stood up and patted her forehead with her hand.
"Oh, my sister-in-law came to the hospital at this time, and I forgot to ask her if she had dinner."
Meng Xunzhou felt secretly annoyed when he heard this.
He was so focused on warming Song Shishi's hands that he just kept talking and didn't ask a single question.
The more he thought about it, the deeper his frown grew.
"But when sister-in-law goes back, Aunt Zheng will definitely prepare dinner for her."
Meng Xiaoqi sat back down again and comforted herself in a low voice.
Meng Xunzhou turned his head to look out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
In the following days, Meng Xunzhou's injuries gradually improved and his wounds healed well.
As long as he doesn't do anything drastic, it will basically not affect his normal life.
This also means that he can finally be discharged from the hospital.
During this period, Song Shishi would always take time out of her busy schedule to come over and take a look, but after saying a few words, she would leave in a hurry.
"Brother, you are discharged from the hospital today, isn't your sister-in-law coming?"
While packing her luggage, Meng Xiaoqi looked towards the ward door from time to time.
"She has a very important meeting to attend today and can't come. You should pack quickly, mom and dad will be here soon."
Meng Xunzhou kept packing his things while talking.
…
As soon as Meng Xunzhou was discharged from the hospital, Fu Shuxian forced him to live in the military compound, saying that it would be more convenient to take care of him and recuperate.
Meng Xunzhou couldn't persuade her, so he had to compromise.
"It's settled. I can only stay at home for three days. After three days, I have to go back to the military family compound. I also have to go back to the army and report my work to the leaders in person."
Fu Shuxian would naturally not stop anyone from doing work.
So he gave in and said softly, "Okay, three days is three days. Let Shishi stay with you at night."
When Meng Xunzhou heard this, a smile as bright as spring breeze immediately appeared on his face.
He hasn't slept with his wife in his arms for a long time.
As soon as Song Shishi came back in the evening, Meng Xiaoqi calculated the time and ran to the Song family.
"Aunt Zheng, sister-in-law, my brother is back from the hospital today. My mother asked me to invite you to have dinner with us."
Because she was afraid that Zheng Peilan would have to cook dinner, Fu Shuxian had already greeted Zheng Peilan before Song Shishi came back.
So Zheng Peilan didn't cook dinner, but she was afraid that Song Shishi would be worried when she came back and didn't see her, so she stayed at home and waited for her to come back from get off work.
"Are you being discharged today?"
Song Shishi was a little surprised.
Meng Xunzhou had never mentioned this to her.
She then blamed herself in annoyance, "I was so busy that I forgot to ask Xunzhou when he would be discharged from the hospital. I had originally wanted to stay with him."
She has been busy with work recently and has paid very little attention to Meng Xunzhou.
"Sister-in-law, don't say that. My brother must have deliberately not told you. You've been very hard lately. You've been busy with work, and you've come to the hospital to accompany my brother from time to time. You've done a great job."
Meng Xiaoqi hurriedly comforted Song Shishi, fearing that she would be unhappy about this.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the Meng family's courtyard.
Meng Xunzhou heard the noise and came out.
"Mom, it's cold outside, come inside and warm up."
As he spoke, he walked over quickly, naturally took Song Shishi's hand, and made way for Zheng Peilan.
Meng Xunzhou deliberately pulled Song Shishi to walk at the back. When Zheng Peilan and Meng Xiaoqi entered the house, he suddenly stopped, pulled Song Shishi into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
He buried his head in her neck, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said in a muffled voice: "Wife, I miss you so much."
Song Shishi kept looking towards the door, fearing that her family would come out at this time.
It would be so embarrassing if someone saw this.
Her face flushed, and she tried to get out of Meng Xunzhou's arms, but Meng Xunzhou seemed to have anticipated her action, and his arms around her tightened a little bit.
"Don't you miss me at all?"
There was a hint of coquettishness and grievance in Meng Xunzhou's voice.
This was the first time Song Shishi saw Meng Xunzhou like this. She felt a little curious and a little distressed.
Meeting Meng Xunzhou's gaze, she couldn't say no.
Finally, she nodded at him as if possessed by some mysterious force, "I thought so."
When Meng Xunzhou heard this, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
He leaned forward and gently touched Song Shishi's lips, then stepped back.
"Tell mom tonight that you can come and stay here. We'll stay in the compound for three days and then go back to the military compound."
He held Song Shishi's hand and walked into the house, speaking gently.
