Chapter 46

These words gave Shen Cheng hope.

He couldn’t help but look at her, his dark eyes revealing a hint of suppressed expectation.

“Can you cure my illness?”

His situation was different from Grandpa Shen’s, there were many factors related to fertility, maybe even if he wasn’t injured, there were other reasons why he couldn’t have children.

So Jiang Nianzi answered conservatively: “We’ll treat it and see.”

That hint of ripple calmed down.

Shen Cheng despised himself in his heart.

What was he expecting?

After understanding his situation, Jiang Nianzi was about to pull the curtain open and go out.

Shen Cheng suddenly called out to her.

“Doctor Jiang.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Nianzi turned her head, her bright eyes were like a clear spring, serene and beautiful, pure and weak.

Shen Cheng suppressed the inappropriate agitation in his heart: “Thank you.”

Jiang Nianzi thought he was talking about his illness, she smiled: “This is my job.”

“Not that.” Shen Cheng explained: “Thank you for saving me in Daxumu last time.”

Daxumu…

There was only one village with this name nearby, and the only one Jiang Nianzi had been to be that one.

She carefully recalled and finally remembered something.

“You’re the soldier who fell into the water?”

Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, Shen Cheng unconsciously smiled in his eyes: “Yes, I was able to stand here today thanks to Doctor Jiang last time, I haven’t had a chance to personally thank you, and it’s always been a regret of mine.”

So he was that soldier covered in mud, when she rescued him, his whole face was covered in mud, the situation was urgent at that time, and she really didn’t pay attention to his appearance.

She had always admired soldiers.

Hearing his words, Jiang Nianzi said: “You gave me a lot of coupons last time, those things are very useful to me, and I also thank you.”

What were those compared to life?

Besides, he had everything in the army.

“Although I’m very grateful, but Doctor Jiang, I still want to remind you, next time you encounter this situation, first ensure your own safety.”

He was seriously advising her.

Jiang Nianzi understood this principle, she nodded: “I didn’t blindly save people, I’m good at swimming, and I had safety precautions at that time, besides… the People’s Liberation Army serves the people, they put themselves in danger to save people, because of you guys protecting us in the front line, we civilians can live in peace, if it happened again, I think I would still jump into the water to save you without hesitation.”

At the moment when life was hanging by a thread, Jiang Nianzi couldn’t stop and think rationally.

In her previous life, she was born into a family without love.

Her grandfather forced her to be a leading authority in Chinese medicine, her father forced her to be a champion in martial arts.

Her life didn’t have any fun, only endless learning.

Her family always only cared about her grades, how many people in the whole family hoped that she would fail.

Her ribs were fractured in three places during a competition, her father didn’t see it, he only saw that she won in the end.

She studied Chinese medicine, she broke countless records, she cured countless incurable illnesses, her grandfather didn’t give her a single compliment.

But because of one mistake, she didn’t diagnose another symptom of the patient, she didn’t save that patient who had already been abandoned by countless doctors, she was locked up in the library-like medical study room by her grandfather and whipped until she had a high fever.

She was bright and beautiful on the outside at that time, but she suffered from severe depression.

When she had suicidal thoughts, a soldier saved her.

That soldier also told her that living was hope.

That soldier also told her that there was a lot of love and sunshine in this world, one day they would shine on her.

She believed those words, she started to sneak out despite her family’s opposition, and she participated in volunteer activities.

In those places, she saw that the human world didn’t only exist with deceit and treachery, it wasn’t just about fame and fortune.

There were strangers who showed genuine concern and pity, some people didn’t care who you were, they would come over to ask how you were the moment they saw you injured.

Don’t think that pity is a bad word.

Only those with good intentions can have those thoughts.

Jiang Nianzi recalled that soldier whose face was almost burned, the light in her eyes became even gentler, and even brighter.

He was right, there was so much sunshine and beauty in this world, one day they would shine on her.

Wasn’t he that first ray of sunshine that shone on her?

Because of his words, she wasn’t so resistant to Chinese medicine.

Because of the light in her, her ability, she could also shine on others, bring hope to others.

This was a beautiful thing in itself.

So when she answered Shen Cheng’s question, the light in her eyes was dazzling, it was so bright that it was blinding.

Shen Cheng stared at her, he was surprised by her answer.

As a soldier, it was his duty to serve the people and the country.

But now, many people would also think it was natural for soldiers to sacrifice everything for them.

Not only was there no gratitude, but they also took it for granted.

Even when taking the train, as long as they were wearing military uniforms, no matter how uncomfortable they were, how tired they were, when they met an elderly person, they hadn’t even taken the initiative to offer their seat, the other person would already say: “Soldier comrade, look, you’re healthy, give me your seat.”

And all they could do was get up and give their seat.

It was a voluntary act, but being asked to do it with a condescending and commanding tone, the mindset was completely different.

But she said, because of you guys protecting us in the front line, we civilians can live in peace, if it happened again, I would still jump into the water to save you without hesitation.

She didn’t know, for a soldier, how heartwarming it was for a civilian like her to say this.

As long as one person saw their effort, then, everything they sacrificed was worth it!

Shen Cheng felt that his unruly heart was beating faster than before.

It was like a mad dog running wild.

It was clamoring to get out.

“Thump thump thump…”

One after another, rapid and powerful.

Shen Cheng looked at her, he suddenly became serious, he solemnly saluted her.

This startled Jiang Nianzi.

She quickly learned and saluted back.

Meeting his deep gaze, Jiang Nianzi inexplicably felt a sense of heart palpitations.

Help, I can’t resist soldiers…

Especially soldiers who are this handsome and have such a good figure…

It was simply killing her.

She quickly pulled open the curtain and walked out, pretending to be calm.

She took a deep breath, Jiang Nianzi, you’re a decent person.

Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom…

Jiang Xinli had been paying attention to the situation inside.

Seeing the curtain lifted, she quickly came over and asked: “Doctor Jiang, how is it? Is there hope for my son’s illness to be cured?”

Jiang Nianzi still chose to answer conservatively: “There’s hope, but it’s not guaranteed that it can be cured.”

She answered conservatively enough, but she didn’t know that Shen Cheng had seen several doctors, they all said that he might not be able to have children.

Jiang Xinli didn’t know those things, but it didn’t stop her from thinking that Jiang Nianzi’s medical skills were amazing.

As long as there’s hope, it’s good!

She immediately smiled like a flower.

Then she looked at Jiang Nianzi, her eyes were like looking at a national treasure, how did they raise this child?

He’s so handsome, he’s kind-hearted, and he’s also very capable.

Not to mention her son, even she liked her.

Such a good little girl, if her son’s illness can be cured, wouldn’t that mean…
