The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

Chapter 166: Loyal Bones Buried in the Green Mountains

Zhou Zhendong turned his head away in distress, tears welling up in his eyes. If he hadn't been newly married at the time, he would have accompanied them through life and death on this mission.

Guotao just got married last year, and his wife is already five months pregnant. Xiaojun and Yongjie enlisted in the army in the same year, and they are both still so young.

The devastating news shattered the lives of both families. Even though they knew it was a heroic sacrifice, how could they possibly forgive their untimely departure over the long years?

Even in times of peace, it is still not uncommon for family members to lose their husbands and sons, and for them to lose their comrades-in-arms.

Perhaps the moment they put on their uniforms, the responsibilities they shouldered destined these unfortunate events to happen, but no one was afraid or backed down.

They are the Chinese Armed Police, a part of safeguarding the stability of the motherland. No matter when or where, they will always use their lives to resist all invasions and crimes.

Green hills everywhere bury loyal bones; why need a horse's hide to wrap their corpses for return? Yet, their loved ones shed tears...

Yan Guotao and Lei Xiaojun were posthumously awarded the title of martyr and the First-Class Merit Citation. A memorial service will be held in three days.

The reason the news has been kept under wraps until now is simply because this mission just finished eradicating those scourges, and not many people know about her hospitalization.

After leaving the detachment and returning to the hospital, Xi Molin remained in a very bad mood.

Her family didn't know how to comfort her, and even Xiangjun, who was good at comforting others, remained silent and could only stay quietly by her side.

That evening, Yang Yufen wanted to stay at the hospital to take care of Momo, but Shu Xiangyu insisted on staying instead.

Unexpectedly, shortly after 1 a.m., Schimerling suddenly developed a high fever, his whole body was burning hot, and his consciousness became confused and delirious.

Shu Xiangyu was extremely worried, fearing that her hard-won recovery would be infected and worsen again, thus endangering her life.

Fortunately, after emergency treatment, the patient's condition gradually stabilized.

Before leaving, the doctor repeatedly warned her not to go out until she was fully recovered, to avoid worsening her injuries and developing chronic conditions.

However, Ximerlin kept having nightmares in a daze. She dreamed that Guotao and Xiaojun were calling her name, and she also dreamed of fighting to the death with the drug dealer, with gunshots ringing in her ears...

"Mo Mo, don't be afraid, your sister is here..."

Shu Xiangyu sat by the hospital bed, wiping away her cold sweat from time to time and gently comforting her.

Seeing her furrowed brows, even though her eyes were closed, her face showed anxiety.

Perhaps she was too heartbroken and remorseful to learn of the sacrifice of her comrade-in-arms, and was also suffering greatly.

She stayed with her all night without closing her eyes.

Fortunately, her temperature had returned to normal, and she only went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep after her parents arrived.

She set her alarm for four hours, but with Momo on her mind, she couldn't sleep soundly.

After waking up, I quickly washed my hair and took a shower, changed my clothes, and rushed to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived outside the ward, she heard a young man's voice coming from inside. Shu Xiangyu thought it was Momo's comrade-in-arms visiting her.

Upon entering the ward, I discovered that the man was Ji Zheng. He was sitting on a chair next to the bed, and the two of them were chatting. My parents were nowhere to be seen.

When Xi Molin saw her arrive, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "Sister, have you had lunch?"

Shu Xiangyu took off his hat and mask, walked to the other side of the hospital bed, and first reached out to touch her forehead. Fortunately, it wasn't hot.

"Not yet, I don't have much of an appetite."

The calm tone of his voice betrayed a hint of emotion.

"Hello."

Ji Zheng stood up and greeted her.

"Hello…"

Even if she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't refuse to offend others.

To ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Shimmering smiled and said, "Sis, I want to eat an apple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Xiangyu was about to get the apple.

"I'll give you a wash..."

Ji Zheng quickly went to the table, picked up an apple and a peeler, and went to the bathroom.

The two were left staring at each other, Shu Xiangyu's displeasure and cold expression clearly evident.

Schimerling wanted to explain to her that it wasn't what she thought at all.

After washing the apples, Ji Zheng came out and sat back down in his chair.

"Merlin, once you've recovered, let's plan a road trip to Gansu and Qinghai. We can pick a suitable month to see lots of beautiful scenery."

"We'll talk about it later. I can't think about that far ahead right now."

Xi Molin kept glancing at Yu Bao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, afraid of crossing her bottom line.

Ji Zheng wanted to cut the peeled apple into small pieces.

"and many more…"

Shu Xiangyu took out disposable gloves and put them on. He took the apple from the man's hand and, as usual, used a clean little spoon to scrape the apple flesh little by little and silently fed him.

"She has indigestion right now and can't eat anything too hard."

This scene truly surprised Ji Zheng. After hearing her explanation, he lowered his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Xiao Zheng, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Schimerlin suddenly asked casually.

"No."

"Would you like me to introduce you to someone..."

The dashing and imposing Ji Zheng straightened his back and looked at her with a deep gaze: "Sister Merlin, actually..."

"Do you know any suitable girls? Introduce them to me."

Shu Xiangyu suddenly interrupted him.

Schimerlin suddenly realized: "By the way, what kind do you like? I'll ask my friends to keep an eye out."

Merlin, actually, the person I like is you…

The powerful voice came out without any attempt to conceal its strength.

This stunned Xi Molin, and Shu Xiangyu also stiffened, her right hand wishing she could break the spoon in two.

"I've always liked you, but I can tell you treat me like a younger brother. My friends have advised me against it, but I just couldn't accept it. Now that I'm telling you, the weight on my heart has finally been lifted. Although it's regrettable and I'm very sad, only by taking this step can I truly start over... I just hope you won't stop talking to me because of this. I still want to be your best friend."

What began as a boy's admiration gradually transformed into a secret love. However, in his view, the age gap and distance became obstacles between the two.

As time went by, their love grew stronger and stronger until it could no longer be hidden.

Seeing him face this unrequited relationship with such composure, Xi Molin felt much more at ease: "You've always been excellent. Don't dwell too much on the past. No matter how much time has passed, we'll always be close friends. And thank you for liking me. It's better to be open about it than to hide it."

Ji Zheng had tried to confess his feelings to her countless times, but if he continued to force it, it would only make them strangers. This time, he finally said it, and he could finally let go of the past.

"I should thank you more. If it weren't for your appearance back then, I might not be here anymore."

"The past is the past, we should all look forward. You are so handsome and dashing, your future is limitless, you will definitely find someone who truly loves you."

"I hope so, but I'm just too busy right now, I don't have any free time..."

Ji Zheng smiled sincerely, saying that in the future he would transform this affection into another way, so that their friendship could last forever.
