Soon, her sister-in-law knocked on the door and came in. “Ningning, Comrade Sheng is here. You should come out too.”

“Ah, okay,” Gu Jianing replied, hearing her own voice sound slightly distorted.

Yang Manman felt that the moment her sister-in-law turned around, the entire room seemed to brighten.

Her skin was radiant, her lips red and teeth white, her dark hair soft and shiny, her waist slender, exuding a natural charm. As she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed like a blooming flower.

Such a beautiful young girl.

Yang Manman sighed inwardly. No wonder the Gu family doted on their younger sister. If she weren’t so willful, Yang Manman would have wanted to spoil her too. Just looking at her was a delight, lifting one’s spirits.

No wonder Comrade Sheng, the military officer, had been gone for over half a year and still remembered her, sending someone to arrange a meeting.

When Gu Jianing walked out, she immediately saw the tall, upright man. His dark green military uniform accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He seemed to be talking to her parents, but when he sensed her gaze, he suddenly looked up, his eyes locking onto her like a leopard spotting its prey.

The young girl’s appearance showed she had put effort into her look. The vitality in her eyes was much better than yesterday, indicating that her health had improved significantly.

Sheng Zexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, both sides sat down.

Sheng Zexi began to talk about his family background.

“My father is a leader in the Beijing Military Region. My mother passed away from illness when I was thirteen. Half a year later, my father remarried. My stepmother brought her daughter into the family, and a year later, they had a son…” Sheng Zexi’s tone was calm, as if he didn’t care much or have much emotional attachment.

“…I am 25 years old this year, a battalion commander in the Northwest Military Region. My salary is 101 yuan, and if I go on missions, I receive allowances or bonuses. At this rank, after marriage, I can apply for housing in the military family quarters. If this marriage works out, Ningning can join me as a military dependent.”

Although Sheng Zexi had stayed with the Gu family for a while, they had only known him as a deputy battalion commander in the Northwest Military Region. They hadn’t expected him to now be a full battalion commander, from Beijing, with such a strong family background.

However, his father had remarried and had a son with his stepmother. As the saying goes, “With a stepmother comes a stepfather.” From Sheng Zexi’s tone, it seemed his relationship with his family wasn’t great. Did his family know about him coming to meet their daughter?

Yao Chunhua couldn’t help but worry. “Zexi, does your father know about you coming here to meet our daughter?”

Old Man Gu shared the same concern. “Yes, what if your father doesn’t agree…”

Sheng Zexi quickly reassured them, “Uncle, Aunt, you don’t need to worry. Meeting and marrying are my own decisions. As long as I am willing, I can take full responsibility. My relationship with my family isn’t great, but if we do get married, I won’t let Ningning have much contact with them. I can protect her.”

Gu Jianing recalled their previous interactions and vaguely knew that Sheng Zexi’s mother had passed away early, and his relationship with his family was strained. From his tone, it seemed worse than she had imagined.

But she didn’t care much.

After all, if she married Sheng Zexi, she would be living as a military dependent, so she wouldn’t have much contact with his family.

Sheng Zexi continued, “There’s one more thing…”

Sheng Zexi finally revealed that five years ago, during a battle, he had been injured and left with a sterility condition.

“…The doctor said the chance of me getting a woman pregnant is only 1%.”

At this, not only was the matchmaker shocked, but the entire Gu family fell silent.

Gu Jianing’s almond-shaped eyes widened: …I didn’t know about this before.

Thinking about her own possible infertility from jumping into the river and now Sheng Zexi’s sterility, was there even a chance for them to have children?

[Host, don’t worry, you still have me. I’m a fertility system.]

The mechanical voice in her mind pulled Gu Jianing’s slightly worried thoughts back, and she quickly regained her composure.

[As long as the host completes the novice task, you can obtain the Pregnancy Holy Body Pill.]

Gu Jianing diverted a bit of her attention to check. The fertility system not only fulfilled her wish to have children but also aimed to train her into a fertility doctor, helping more people who were originally infertile to have children.

[Novice Task: Bind the first patient, treat them, and help them conceive. Reward: 100 points, Pregnancy Holy Body Pill.]

[Pregnancy Holy Body Pill: After consumption, it will modify the body, adjusting it to a 100% healthy state for conception.]

“System, are you saying that as long as I take this pill, the infertility caused by my jump into the river can also be cured?” Gu Jianing quietly asked the system in her mind.

[Yes, even if Sheng Zexi only has a 1% chance of getting a woman pregnant, the host can still conceive quickly. The host can also bind Sheng Zexi as a patient and learn treatment methods in the Divine Doctor Space. Of course, it’s also fine not to treat him…]

The system’s words instantly reassured Gu Jianing.

So, the next step was to bind her first patient and cure their sterility or infertility.

The system said that once a patient was bound, the Divine Doctor Space would unlock the learning module. The patient’s information would be analyzed, and she could enter the space where specialized teachers would teach her targeted treatment methods. Passing the tasks would earn her points and rewards, unlocking the points store where she could exchange for anything.

But who should she choose as her first patient?

“Ningning, come with me for a moment.” Yao Chunhua’s call interrupted Gu Jianing’s thoughts.

Yao Chunhua wanted to discuss the matter with her daughter and pulled Gu Jianing’s hand, leading her back to the room.

“Ningning, I never expected Zexi to have such a condition. Maybe we should call off this match.” Before this, Yao Chunhua had thought Sheng Zexi was perfect in every way and had eagerly wanted her daughter to marry him. But now, with Sheng Zexi’s sterility, how could her daughter live without children in the future?

“Mom, I’ve decided to marry him.” Gu Jianing didn’t change her initial decision. With the system’s help, getting pregnant wouldn’t be a problem, but she couldn’t tell her mother about the system.

Gu Jianing tried to convince her, “Mom, don’t forget I’m a nursing student. My teacher liked me and taught me a unique method for treating infertility. I think I can treat Brother Sheng’s condition. Besides, even though it’s only a 1% chance, it’s not completely impossible. Maybe your daughter will get lucky and get pregnant. Oh, and I’m planning to treat Sister-in-law too.”

At this point, Gu Jianing had already decided to bind her sister-in-law, Yang Manman, as her first patient.

“Really?” Yao Chunhua was half-convinced, half-doubting.

To be honest, she was somewhat swayed. Leaving aside luck, it was possible that her daughter’s teacher liked her and taught her some skills.

Moreover, her daughter mentioned wanting to treat her sister-in-law. The eldest son and his wife had been married for three years without children, which was a sore point for Yao Chunhua and the couple.

Although she hadn’t pressured them, both she and the couple were eager to have a child soon.

If Ningning could really use that unique method to treat her sister-in-law’s infertility, then it was possible she could treat Zexi too.

Gu Jianing hugged her mother’s arm, blinking her eyes and acting coquettishly. “Mom, would I lie to you about something like this? Besides, how important is having children to us women? Would I really lie to you about this?”

“…Alright, alright. So you’ve made up your mind?”

“I’ve decided!”
