Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 186 Awakening
As it was almost noon, the Hua family hurriedly prepared a meal and invited Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing to eat together.

The Hua family's hospitality was too much to refuse, and since they needed to wait for Hua Zhenrong to wake up, the couple did not decline.

During the meal, the Hua family members were all quite surprised to see Sheng Zexi taking such good care of Gu Jianing.

This was the first time they had ever seen Sheng Zexi so gentle.

Because Sheng Zexi and Hua Zhenrong were good friends since childhood, when Sheng Zexi and Sheng Xinhao quarreled and he ran away from home, he would come to Hua’s house to sleep.

Therefore, Sheng Zexi can be considered someone the Hua family watched grow up.

The former Sheng Zexi was unruly and arrogant, as if no one could do anything to him. His eyes were full of arrogance, and he even had a sharp tongue. If you were to cross him, he would definitely make you question your existence.

And now...

Sheng Zexi is so gentle, especially towards Gu Jianing.

It was so gentle it was almost like melting into water.

They found Sheng Zexi's appearance quite unusual.

Sure enough, someone eventually managed to tame this troublemaker.

They thought this was a good thing.

In the past, Sheng Zexi was arrogant and domineering, but he was like a person covered in thorns, not allowing anyone to get close to him, nor did he get close to others.

Now, Sheng Zexi's thousands of sharp thorns have turned into a gentle touch.

He finally found the person he loved, and who loved him in return.

These elders were genuinely happy for him.

Sheng Zexi seemed oblivious to the occasional stares from those around him, focusing solely on eating while keeping an eye on Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing, however, noticed it all.

She gave Sheng Zexi a coquettish glare, feeling a little embarrassed.

Sheng Zexi, who was glared at: ...

Honey, why are you glaring at me? Did I do something wrong?
Definitely not. Was my wife flirting with me? Yes, that must be it. Oh dear, how can my wife not consider the occasion? We're at someone else's house. She should be more discreet.

Sheng Zexi felt that he needed to have a good talk with his wife when he got back.

Just after we finished eating, the nanny came to say that Hua Zhenrong had woken up.

The Hua family members hurriedly went to Hua Zhenrong's room...

In the room, Hua Zhenrong felt as if he had been in a long dream and had finally woken up.

And everything in the dream was about the deaths of his comrades during the mission, and his madness...

Now, it's like waking up from a dream.

He found himself lying in bed, and after looking around, he realized he was in his room at home.

Hua Zhenrong was about to get up when he found his hands and feet were restrained. He glanced down and saw that he was now bound to the bed with strips of cloth.

This is?

Hua Zhenrong was trying to recall what he had just heard when there was a noise at the door.

He looked up and saw that his family members were standing at the door.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, sisters-in-law..."

The Hua family couldn't remember the last time they had seen Hua Zhenrong so lucid and calling out their names.

Mrs. Hua was so excited and happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

She ran over and hugged Hua Zhenrong on the bed tightly. "Son, you're finally awake! You're finally awake! I thought... I thought..." I thought I was going to lose you.

Other members of the Chinese community also came in, each with red eyes or tears streaming down their faces, but they couldn't hide their joy.

As Hua Zhenrong watched his family members' expressions, his memories gradually returned.

He seems to remember coming.

He remembered that when he went on a mission, someone leaked the information, resulting in the deaths of all his comrades except for him and another comrade.

Some of them even died while trying to save him.

He was brought back severely injured. His physical wounds healed, but his emotional wounds could not.

……

He was filled with guilt and self-blame, which almost drove him mad. He kept reliving the scenes from his previous missions, and even...

The last thing I remember is him acting crazy and even injuring his older brother.

After that, he couldn't remember.

I felt confused and my whole body was in a bad state.

And now... it's like waking up from a dream, finally coming to a full awake.

"Brother, your injury..." Hua Zhenrong asked.

The eldest brother of the Hua family didn't expect that his younger brother was still thinking about the injury he had accidentally caused him before, so he quickly said, "Brother, it's alright."

Just then, Hua Zhenrong heard a noise at the door again.

I saw a familiar person.

"Zexi..." he called out, referring to the Zexi standing before him, which seemed rather strange.

He was actually supporting a beautiful pregnant woman with such care and gentleness, something Hua Zhenrong had never seen before.

When Sheng Zexi heard Hua Zhenrong call out his name, his eyes involuntarily reddened.

After Gu Jianing sat down, Sheng Zexi stepped forward and said, "You know how long it's been since I heard you call my name..."

Hua Zhenrong was slightly taken aback.

Later, with the explanation from his family, Hua Zhenrong finally understood the whole story.

He is sick.

He knew that.

He was aware that the situation was getting worse and worse.

He knew his condition was very bad, and he even had a premonition that if he didn't receive proper treatment, he might die soon.

He died in a daze, in a state of madness.

Now, he is awake and has received treatment.

The person who treated him was actually Zexi's wife.

He never expected that when he woke up, Sheng Zexi would be married, and his wife's belly was already so big. In a few months, she would become a father.

I never expected that Zexi's wife, who was so young, would have such amazing medical skills.

So many renowned doctors were helpless with his illness; they practically gave him a death sentence.

And she, with just one move, brought him back to his senses after he had been unconscious for several months.

It's no wonder that Sheng Zexi, an iron tree, would blossom with such a capable and beautiful woman.

He once thought that Zexi would be alone for the rest of his life.

However, it's better this way.

"Comrade Gu, thank you." After the Hua family removed the strips of cloth from his body, he was helped to his feet and solemnly thanked Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing: "You are Xi Ge's comrade-in-arms and good brother. As Xi Ge's wife, I have the ability to treat him, so naturally I cannot turn a blind eye."

"However, you should go and eat something first. This is your first treatment today. Although you've regained consciousness, you probably don't have much time left."

"Okay." Hua Zhenrong also felt a rare pang of hunger in his stomach.

The Hua family busily brought over the cooked, easily digestible noodles.

Hua Zhenrong wanted to eat by himself, but he was too weak, so in the end, his second brother fed him.

Half an hour after eating, I also took the medicine.

Afterwards, Hua Zhenrong fell into a state of unconsciousness again. Gu Jianing gave him acupuncture and made him fall asleep again.

"He'll sleep longer this time, probably until tomorrow morning," Gu Jianing said.
