After Aunt Fang calmed down, the two of them went upstairs.

"Hello, comrade. Which ward is Gu Hai in?"

"Who are you?"

"This is his lover, come and take care of him."

"Go straight this way to the second to last ward, the bed by the window."

"Okay, thank you."

The conditions of the military hospital were considered top-notch in that era, but they were far behind those in later generations.

There were eight beds in the huge ward, but only five of them were occupied. Gu Hai's bed was the farthest from the door, and he was staring out the window in a daze, not noticing them coming in.

Fang Shulan looked at the figure who haunted her dreams and made her cry at midnight, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

She stopped and didn't dare to move forward, fearing that all this was her illusion, and even more afraid that if she walked past, the person would disappear.

"Comrades, who are you looking for?"

Zheng Xiaobin was carrying a kettle of hot water from outside and preparing to enter the ward, but these two people kept blocking the door and did not move, so he had to ask in a friendly manner.

"Um... sorry, let's go find Gu Hai."

Song Fuyu's eyes fell on the man who was asking the question, and saw that one of his arms was empty. He must be the comrade Zheng Xiaobin who accompanied Gu Hai to take care of him.

Hearing his name, Gu Hai, who had just been looking out the window, slowly turned his head.

"Lan...Lan'er?"

He looked at Fang Shulan at the door in disbelief and cried out softly.

This name pops up in his mind at least ten thousand times every day.

After seeing it clearly, Gu Hai covered his face and turned his head away. Tears flowed from his hands and dripped onto the thin white blanket.

He wanted to see her, but he was also afraid to see her.

How he wanted to find a hole to crawl into at this moment. The person he felt most guilty about in his life was Lan'er.

I once vowed that I would bring her happiness, but in the end...all I brought her was endless pain and exhaustion.

He used to think of himself as a man, but after coming to Beijing for treatment, he realized that he was actually just a complete coward.

Wiping away his tears, Gu Hai turned his head and extended his hand to Fang Shulan.

At this moment, Fang Shulan couldn't bear it any longer. She dropped the luggage in her hands, ran over and hugged him tightly.

There was no right or wrong, no gossip from outsiders, no care for anyone's strange looks, she just wanted to hold him tightly, feel his warm body temperature, and tell herself that he was still alive, really alive...

The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly. Zheng Xiaobin couldn't help but tear up when he saw this scene.

A few minutes later, when both of them calmed down, Gu Hai introduced Zheng Xiaobin to Fang Shulan.

"Thanks to Xiaobin, otherwise I would have..."

"Don't say that word, not now, and not ever again."

Before he could utter the word "die", Fang Shulan covered his mouth.

"Okay, I won't tell you!"

"We will all be fine, safe and healthy in the future."

"Yes, that's right. Every day will be a good day from now on."

"Comrade Xiaobin, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of our Gu Hai."

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite."

"It was Brother Hai who saved me from the battlefield. If he hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have been injured. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing in front of you now."

"I just helped him out. Compared to what he did, it's nothing."

Zheng Xiaobin's life was snatched from the hands of death by Gu Hai at the risk of his own life. When he survived, he swore that he would go through fire and water for him as long as Brother Hai needed him.

"Ah Hai, let me introduce this female comrade to you."

She pointed at Song Fuyu and said softly to Gu Hai: "Her name is Song Fuyu. She was an educated youth from our Shanhe Village. It was her husband who found you."

"Comrade Song, I'm sorry to meet you in this environment. Please don't be offended."

"It's okay. It's better for you to get better now."

"Thanks to you and your husband for your help, otherwise my leg would have been hopeless if I had come to see a doctor later."

His leg had only suffered minor nerve damage before, not so serious that it could not be fully recovered. However, the medical conditions in Nirvana were limited at the time, and he thought he was paralyzed and had no medicine to save him, so he was left to fend for himself, which delayed his treatment.

After being bedridden for several years, my muscles atrophied and I developed bedsores.

When he came here, the doctor examined him and said that if it was half a year later, even gods would be powerless with current medical conditions. Originally, his leg could have been cured in two or three months, but it was delayed for so long that it would take at least half a year or even longer to recover.

Uncle Wu quickly booked a room at the guesthouse and came to the ward.

"Comrade Fang, your name is registered at the front desk. Please give your letter of introduction to the front desk staff for verification. If there is no problem, you can check in."

"Okay, thank you~"

"Aunt Fang, I won't bother you for now. Since there's still some time before dinner, go back and order some food. I'll come visit you in a couple of days when I'm free."

"Okay, go home now."

"Fu Yu, I really appreciate your care these days."

"You're welcome. I don't need to say thank you in words, just know it in your heart."

After coming down from upstairs, she told Uncle Wu about her encounter with Yan's mother.

"No need to wait for her. Sister Qin is very busy these days, and Sister Liu leaves dinner for her on the stove every day."

"If it's really too late, your dad will send Jianjun to pick her up."

Hearing this, Song Fuyu gave up the idea of ​​waiting for Yan's mother to go back together.

Sitting in the car, Uncle Wu and I kept guessing what Grandpa's expression would be when he saw her later. He would definitely be surprised and happy.

Of course, her face was still full of arrogance, as if nothing had happened.
