Qi Mengmeng followed Li Zhuang into the jeep next to them without saying a word. Qi Zhijun also wanted to follow, but after taking two steps he remembered that he had a meeting today and had not asked for leave in advance.
Qi Zhijun shouted to the car: "Mengmeng, I have something to do today and can't go with you. Call me if you have anything else."
Qi Mengmeng nodded, waved at him, and urged Li Zhuang to drive.
Along the way, neither of them spoke. Li Zhuang stared at the front and drove very fast while ensuring safety. Qi Mengmeng felt the bumps of the car without saying a word.
When they arrived at the military hospital, Qi Mengmeng opened the car door and rushed out immediately. She took a few deep breaths and tried hard not to vomit.
Li Zhuang got out of the driver's seat, stood next to Qi Mengmeng, and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I drove too fast."
Qi Mengmeng waved her hands, swallowed her saliva, and said, "I'm fine, let's go up."
The two men went upstairs but did not enter the ward immediately. Several doctors were examining Gu Guizhi inside.
Qi Mengmeng and Li Zhuang both stood quietly outside, listening to the doctor talking inside.
"Captain Gu, we still need to do further inspections. You should be mentally prepared."
After the doctor in the room said his last words, they walked out one after another. Qi Mengmeng and Li Zhuang stood closer to the wall.
When several doctors saw the two men, they looked at each other and quickened their pace.
The doctor who came out last had gray hair and a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something. When he saw Qi Mengmeng, he was stunned for a moment: "Are you Captain Gu's wife?"
Qi Mengmeng nodded: "Yes."
The old doctor looked her up and down and suddenly asked, "How long have you been married?"
Not sure if it was Qi Mengmeng's illusion, she felt that the old doctor's eyes stayed on her abdomen for a few seconds. Without thinking too much, she replied, "Less than a month."
The old doctor nodded, said nothing more, and left with the others.
Qi Mengmeng entered the ward. Gu Guizhi's face looked normal, and nothing could be seen. Jiang Shan's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could catch a mosquito. He called out in a low voice, "Sister-in-law."
"What did the doctor just say?" Qi Mengmeng only heard one sentence just now, but since Gu Guizhi was mentally prepared, something bad must have happened.
Jiang Shan lowered his head and pretended to be dead. He didn't hear anything just now.
Qi Mengmeng's attention was not on him. She looked at Gu Guizhi: "What did the doctor say just now? Do we need to go to a big hospital for examination?"
Gu Guizhi's face was calm, his hands clenched into fists under the quilt, and he tried to make his voice sound normal: "When did you come?"
"I arrived yesterday and slept at Captain Qi's house last night. When we heard that you woke up this morning, Li Zhuang and I came here." Qi Mengmeng replied and sat on the stool.
"How about letting Li Zhuang take you to have breakfast?" Gu Guizhi looked at Li Zhuang.
"I've had breakfast," Qi Mengmeng waved her hand. "Did the doctor say your condition is not good? If the doctors here can't treat you, then we can go somewhere else. If you can't join the army, the worst that can happen is that you can transfer to civilian work. Don't think too much."
Ever since Qi Mengmeng asked about the situation just now, Gu Guizhi avoided the topic. She didn't know much about medicine, so she could only guess that the injury on Gu Guizhi's head would not heal for the time being, or that he had sequelae on his legs and would have problems walking in the future.
Although she and Gu Guizhi knew each other and got married very recently, he gave all his belongings to her when they got engaged. Just considering his character, she couldn't leave him when he was sick.
Gu Guizhi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to say that. He lowered his head and didn't speak for a while.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Jiang Shan. Was she wrong? Was the situation more serious?
Jiang Shan kept his head down and didn't see Qi Mengmeng's gaze. He was now deaf and dumb and knew nothing.
Gu Guizhi sighed, turned around, and said to Jiang Shan, "Jiang Shan, you and Li Zhuang go get a pot of water. I'm thirsty."
"Battalion Commander." Jiang Shan was obviously reluctant.
"Go ahead." Gu Guizhi's face darkened and Jiang Shan could only obey.
Jiang Shan picked up the kettle and left the ward with Li Zhuang. Li Zhuang closed the door.
Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything. She tilted her head and stared at Gu Guizhi, wanting to know what was wrong with him. When they first met, he showed his obsession with her. Could it be that he has now discovered that his illness is difficult to cure and is ready to give up?
"Mengmeng, my biggest wish for all these years is to marry you."
"Now I have finally achieved my wish, I am very happy."
"Mengmeng, if I can't have a child, are you still willing to be with me?"
While speaking, Gu Guizhi stared at Qi Mengmeng without blinking.
Qi Mengmeng's eyes fell on Gu Guizhi's waist: "Did you injure your lower body this time?"
In other words, she had to be a widow just after getting married? Aren't all time-traveling women said to have golden fingers? It seems that there is no medicine for this in her space.
Gu Guizhi was surprised by her words. He didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to ask so directly. His ears felt a little hot.
"The doctor said that the location of my injury is rather special. Although it won't affect my normal, um, life, it may have an impact on my fertility."
Now that Qi Mengmeng is staring at him, he has a feeling that it probably won't affect their life as a couple, but Dr. Liang has made him mentally prepared as to whether they can have children, and it is very likely that they won't be able to have children.
Qi Mengmeng blinked and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was not going to be a widow. That was good. She didn't have children in her previous life and she lived a good life. So, in her heart, children were not a necessity.
Seeing that Qi Mengmeng hadn't said anything, Gu Guizhi's eyes lost some of their light. He tried to sit up: "Mengmeng, I'll give you all the money I earn in the future, and I'll do all the housework. If you want a child, can we adopt the children of other comrades?"
Qi Mengmeng quickly went over to support him: "The doctor told you not to move, are you afraid that you will recover too quickly?"
Gu Guizhi grabbed Qi Mengmeng's hand and said, "Mengmeng, can we not get divorced?"
Qi Mengmeng: "...When did I say I was divorcing you? I just think it's good to not have children, just the two of us, but what you said just now has to count."
Gu Guizhi's eyes shone with a huge light: "Let it be, let it be, you really won't divorce me?"
Qi Mengmeng was a little amused: "You were just hurt, you didn't do anything to offend me, why should I divorce you?"
What else could it be? Because they don’t have children. Nowadays, everyone wants to have children. If the couple still doesn’t have children, who knows how they will be talked about by neighbors and relatives.
Thinking of this, Gu Guizhi felt guilty: "Mengmeng, if others talk about it in the future, you can say that it's because I have a problem that I can't have children. If you want a child in the future, we will adopt a child."
