Gu Tinglin was stunned by Jiang Ning's scolding, and was speechless for a moment.

The earth will not stop rotating, but the plates will collide and break, and it may come at any time.

He wanted to do better, maybe he could let more survivors survive.

This is an unprecedented disaster. If no one is willing to stand up, the final outcome will be the extinction of mankind.

He has no home, no children, and no ties, so he chose to stand up and accept the national mission.

Even though there is a blood bond now, it is insignificant compared to the mission he has to perform.

To say that there is no regret is to deceive oneself.

But the reality is that fate plays tricks on people. When he was young, he went on a mission and lost the person he loved, and now he doesn't even have the chance to make up for his daughter.

"Jiang Ning, I'm sorry."

He also wanted to step down one day, but now there is really no time.

Everyone's choices are different. What Jiang Ning can't do doesn't mean it's wrong.

On the contrary, many people have chosen the same path as Gu Tinglin, otherwise there wouldn't be so many survivors.

Gu Tinglin coughed violently.

Jiang Ning picked up the cup on the table, only to find that it was empty.

"I'll go get some water."

She had never enjoyed family affection, and she really didn't know how to get along with Gu Tinglin, so she hurried out with the cup.

There was a queue for the hot water room, and seeing that it was not so soon, Jiang Ning chose to go to the toilet.

After releasing the pressure from her bladder, she was about to open the door and leave when several women came in and whispered, "Sister Zhou, I just saw a young woman enter the chief's ward. She looked like the chief's wife, and was brought in by Sister Qing."

"I saw it too, but it didn't look like Chen Yanfei. When did the chief have another daughter?"

Sister Zhou was speechless, "Don't make a fuss about the leader's affairs."

"We are just standing up for Sister Qing. She has been waiting for the chief for more than ten years, but now she has become his mistress."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Zhou couldn't bear to hear the young people slandering Shu Xueqing, so she scolded, "Song Yaling is shameless. She was just the lover of the chief when he was young, and later she turned to someone else for glory and wealth.

The chief took her in just for the sake of old love, but who knew that she would be so shameless as to call herself the chief's wife, bah!"

Several young people were surprised, "No way, then she actually had the nerve to come to Sister Qing for trouble?"

They pestered Sister Zhou with gossip, eager to know the truth.

Because of Song Yaling's trouble-making, Shu Xueqing's reputation was not good, but she never explained it to outsiders.

Sister Zhou sighed, "We reported to the military hospital at the same time. Xueqing was only in her early twenties at that time. Who knew that she would be attracted to the injured commander who was hospitalized? He was not a commander at that time, but his military rank was already very high..."

Gu Tinglin was only in his thirties at that time, which was the age when men were the most mature, stable and charming.

Despite the difference of more than ten years, Shu Xueqing still plunged into it. Knowing that he was not married, she actively pursued him.

Her enthusiasm scared Gu Tinglin, who was afraid to avoid her.

This pursuit lasted for several years, and Gu Tinglin was chased from his thirties to his early forties.

This matter caused a sensation in the military region, and even the leaders stepped in to act as matchmakers, asking Gu Tinglin to consider personal issues.

Perhaps Shu Xueqing really moved Gu Tinglin. The two had been dating for more than half a year. Although there was an age gap of more than ten years, they felt that they were a good match for each other, and he actually submitted a marriage report.

After passing the political review, the two were only one step away from getting the marriage certificate and holding a wedding banquet, but who knew that a natural disaster would come.

Gu Tinglin gave up getting the marriage certificate and accepted the national mission.

Shu Xueqing cried for several days, and then resolutely chose to go to the military base. When

she was not busy with work, she would silently care for him and protect him.

Gu Tinglin devoted himself to his work, worked hard to build the base, and managed everything in an orderly manner.

Just when Shu Xueqing wanted to speak again, Song Yaling came with her daughter.

Loving someone, from the age of blooming flowers to the age of 40, Shu Xueqing has gone through a very difficult journey, and she has to bear pressure that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Even Gu Tinglin has advised her many times not to wait for him anymore and to find a good man to marry.

Shu Xueqing tried, but she really couldn't do it.

"Loving you is my own business, it has nothing to do with you, just be yourself."

"What is a good man? A natural disaster has come, and I may die any day, so does it matter whether I marry or not?"

In the end-of-the-world natural disaster, life and death are unpredictable, who can say who is right and who is wrong? Both of them are right.

Sister Zhou knocked on the young man, "Don't talk about it anymore in the future, do your job well, and don't love gossip all day long."

Several people sighed, looked at each other, and dared not say anything more. After going to the toilet, they hurried back to work.

Jiang Ning came out of the toilet and went to the bathroom to get some hot water.

As soon as he reached the corridor, he ran into Shu Xueqing again. She brought over the boiled Chinese medicine and said, "Jiang Ning, this is the chief's medicine. Please take it with you."

Thinking of what he heard in the toilet, Jiang Ning couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

She was not particularly pretty. She couldn't compare to Song Yaling in terms of temperament or appearance. Her facial features looked generous and comfortable. More

than ten years of time and the cruel living environment had already caused fine lines to grow at the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Ning had learned a lot from Ma Guangnian and Professor Li. She knew which medicines were used just by smelling them, but she still asked, "What is the prescription?"

Shu Xueqing was very concerned about Gu Tinglin's illness. She remembered the prescription very clearly and told him everything.

After many rounds of natural disasters, many herbs in the plantation died, and the doctor did not have many choices when prescribing.

Jiang Ning said nothing and returned to the ward with the medicine.

While no one was paying attention, she added a few western medicine pills.

Sure enough, Gu Tinglin was busy working again.

But when he saw her come in, he quickly put the documents in his hand aside, and inexplicably felt a little guilty. What was going on?

Jiang Ning did not hide it, "Nurse Shu asked me to bring it over."

Gu Tinglin did not explain his relationship with Shu Xueqing, and drank the medicine obediently.

There are sleeping pills in the medicine, which is estimated to allow him to sleep soundly.

Communication without emotion was really awkward, Jiang Ning didn't keep her for long, "I'm leaving."

Gu Tinglin didn't try to keep her, but he still looked at her a few more times.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ning didn't hide anything and told her about Gu Tinglin and Shu Xueqing.

Huo Yishen held her hand, "I'm much luckier than him."

Great love has a price.

He couldn't do it, but he admired Gu Tinglin.

After returning home, he took a nap after dinner. When he

woke up and went into the space to find medicinal materials, Jiang Ning explained, fearing that Huo Yishen would misunderstand, "The hospital is seriously short of medicines and can't cure all his illnesses. I plan to make some medicines to repay the space for its kindness, and I won't delay or owe it in the future."

Huo Yishen saw through it but didn't say it, "Okay, I'll help you."
