The author of "Sickly Delicate" has a headache and nausea today, so there’s only one update for today. Tomorrow, we’ll work hard~

Though Yun Guoguo’s intelligence is not like that of ordinary people, she is considerate and kind. So, after spending so much time together, everyone in the family both loves and feels sorry for her. Suddenly learning that Elder Qi’s treatment has had an effect, everyone is extremely excited.

"That’s wonderful, it’s truly wonderful! I knew it, such a good child, how could heaven bear to watch her suffer?" Zhao Yulan stepped forward, grasping Yun Doudou’s hand tightly, with tears faintly visible in her eyes.

"Aunt Yulan, I actually don’t feel much myself..." Yun Guoguo smiled shyly, "But I will definitely try harder to make myself smarter!"

"This child is so considerate that it’s impossible not to feel sorry for her..." remarked Old Lady Zhao with a sigh, reaching out to pat Zhao Yulan, "It’s a good thing, you might scare the child acting like this."

"Guoguo, Aunt Yulan is happy for you, not thinking you’re not trying hard enough..." Zhao Yulan explained while pulling Yun Guoguo onto the sofa to sit down, affectionately patting her head, "If you miss your mom, just call her; don’t cry secretly by yourself, okay?"

"Okay." Yun Guoguo nodded vigorously, then curiously asked, "Are Sister Huihui’s parents-in-law as nice as Aunt Yulan and Uncle Baohe?"

"Yes, they are." Zhao Yulan replied with a laugh, "Do you know what parents-in-law means?"

"Auntie, you’re underestimating me, aren’t you?" Yun Guoguo pouted in dissatisfaction, "Of course I know what parents-in-law means. But some parents-in-law are good, and some are not.

My parents don’t dare let me get married because they’re afraid that bad parents-in-law would bully me. If I become a bit smarter, then they won’t have to be afraid!"

Old Lady Zhao asked with a chuckle, "So, Guoguo, do you like the idea of getting married?"

"I do!"

"Why?" Doudou asked quickly after a brief pause; she knew her sister envied her having classmates and friends, but she didn’t know her sister was particularly interested in marriage.

"If I can get married too, Mom won’t feel sad for me..." Yun Guoguo looked seriously at her sister, "When you got married, Mom cried a lot. Dad said, ’Doudou has found a good home, you should be happy.’ But Mom said, ’I’m not crying because of Doudou, I’m worried about Guoguo. Guoguo can never get married in her lifetime; it’s too pitiable.

Actually, I don’t feel pitiable at all. I have loving parents and Doudou, and also my grandparents treat me well; I’m really not pitiful at all. But even when I say I’m not pitiful, Mom still cries. If I just get married, Mom won’t think I’m pitiful anymore, and she won’t cry."

"Guoguo..." Yun Doudou sniffed and flashed a bright smile, "Well, you should get better quickly and find a good man, then Mom won’t worry about you anymore."

"Okay." Yun Guoguo nodded vigorously, her face slightly reddening again, "If I find a man, Mom, Dad, and Doudou will still like me just the same, right?"

"Of course!" Yun Doudou nodded with a smile, "We’re all hoping you’ll have lots of people to care for you, but we’ll still like you the same!"

"Today is truly a double blessing; we’ll have to celebrate properly tonight..." Zhao Yulan said while standing up and walking towards the kitchen, "Sister-in-law Qin and I will go to the veggie patch to pick some vegetables. We’ll have hot pot tonight!"

Yun Guoguo jumped up happily, "Aunt Yulan, I love eating hot pot, I’ll go with you to pick vegetables."

Chuxia turned her gaze to Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao, who were teasing the twins, "Do Grandma and Grandpa, and Dad and Mom get along well with the Liu Family’s parents?"

Old Lady Zhao responded with a chuckle, "Yes, they’re honest people, sincere in their speech, so we chatted a lot and had lunch together in the cafeteria with Secretary Li, using the public meal coupons..." she paused, then looked worriedly at her granddaughter, "Chuxia, we wanted to exchange meal coupons ourselves, but Secretary Li wouldn’t let us. If it’s inappropriate, could you pay Secretary Li back instead?"

Chuxia was inexperienced in such matters, so after thinking a bit, she said, "I’ll ask Zhou Mikang later. If he says we can keep it, we keep it."

"Wouldn’t that be strange? We’re all military family members; is a meal worth fussing over?" questioned Fat Auntie, who came out of the kitchen with two bowls of soup, "If this small matter can be misunderstood as taking advantage, then being in the military is too humiliating."

"That’s what I think too." Luo Xiaoqiong nodded in agreement, "Commander Liu is a hero, and the state should arrange for someone to take care of him. Now we’re voluntarily taking care and delivering meals, and even have to account for the occasional meal. That’s really something."

"That’s how it is, but no system thrives without rules, and I’m afraid that troublemakers will make a fuss about these things later..." Chuxia sighed, looking helpless, "Wherever there are people, there’s politics, so it’s better to be cautious."

She wasn’t thinking the worst of people; it’s just that Zhou Mikang’s achievements were too dazzling. People with more accolades are more prone to trouble, and in that era, she saw many such examples!

"Qihui..." After class, Zhao Qihui hurriedly pushed her bicycle and walked out, only to be blocked right outside the bike shed by Jiang Wenyuan who had been waiting there.

"I think I’ve made myself very clear, what else do you want?" Zhao Qihui looked at him calmly, not even bothering with pleasantries. Compared to Liu Lianbao, Jiang Wenyuan looked like a clown in her eyes.

"I know I didn’t do right before, but after all, we’ve been teacher and student, and lovers too. I can’t just watch you jump into a pit of fire and not give a hand. Why didn’t you come to class yesterday?"

"Who are you to me? Do you have the right to meddle in my business?" Zhao Qihui spoke while forcefully pushing her bicycle forward, "If you keep blocking me, I’ll call for help!"

"Do we need to make things this tense between us?" Jiang Wenyuan sighed, looking seriously at her, "Can I say a few words to you, and then I’ll let go, okay?"

"Say it!"

"You are a kind-hearted girl, so when you sincerely care for someone, you’d go all out. This is also why you are easily hurt, and realizing this is also why I know how ridiculous my mistakes were in the past. I want to make up for those past mistakes..."

Zhao Qihui interrupted him: "If this is what you’re going to say, you can stop now. I don’t need your compensation, nor do I want any ties with you anymore, understand?"

"If I promise to treat you well for a lifetime, can you give me another chance?" Jiang Wenyuan looked at her pitifully, "I truly realize my mistakes, and I truly regret them, Qihui, there are some things in life you can’t keep repeating, please listen to me, and think about it, can you?"

"How much clearer do I need to be?" Zhao Qihui frowned at him, "I haven’t liked you for a long time. The person I like now is Liu Lianbao, and I’ve decided to marry him this year. Now, is what I said clear enough? Can you move aside? Jiang Wenyuan, if you keep acting like this, you’re ruining a military marriage. If you really think going to college is trivial, just keep making a fuss!"

"Qihui!" Jiang Wenyuan looked at her with a face full of pain, "Are you really so heartless?"

"Jiang Wenyuan, do you even have the right to say that?" Zhao Qihui looked at him with frustration and helplessness, "By rights, your personality shouldn’t be like this, what on earth is wrong with you, do you even recognize yourself anymore?"

Jiang Wenyuan’s eyes flashed with a bitter smile, and he sighed: "Yes, I despise myself too. You’ve made your words so clear, but I just can’t let go. Lying in bed at night, I question myself too, asking what’s wrong with me. The answer is, missing once, I don’t want to miss again, no matter what expression you use with me, it is deserved, and my persistence is also deserved!"

Zhao Qihui nodded: "Alright, I understand what you mean, can you move aside now?"

"You..." Jiang Wenyuan bit his lip and stared at her, "Where are you planning on going?"

To make him give up, Zhao Qihui answered truthfully: "To see my fiancé, he’s injured, I need to take care of him."

"Injured?" Jiang Wenyuan frowned, "How did he get hurt? Where is he hurt? Is it serious? Will it affect his future life?"

"What’s it got to do with you?"

"Indeed, it has nothing to do with me, but I don’t want you to suffer..." Jiang Wenyuan looked at her seriously, "No matter how you see me now, I must be responsible for your life. Just based on my relationship with Qiliang, I can’t just watch you suffer!"

"Now you’re even bringing out my brother?" Zhao Qihui looked at him mockingly, "You forgot about how you replied when my brother wrote you a letter after we broke up?"

"Huihui, I knew you’ve always been angry about that matter, but haven’t I already regretted it..." Jiang Wenyuan smiled bitterly, "I can’t change past mistakes, but I will do everything I can to make amends, believe me, okay?"

"You really are full of yourself..." Zhao Qihui frowned at him, "Move aside, someone’s coming, do you want people to see you like this?"

Hesitating for a moment, Jiang Wenyuan gripped the bicycle handle more tightly: "I know you’re annoyed with me now, here’s what: let me meet your fiancé, if he is really more suitable than me, I won’t bother you anymore."

"That isn’t necessary!"

"I think it’s necessary!"

"You..." Zhao Qihui looked at Jiang Wenyuan, who seemed like a completely different person, and had no choice but to compromise reluctantly, "Fine, I’ll let you meet him, but I’m telling you, suitability is for me to decide and it’s nothing to do with you, so after meeting him, don’t bother me anymore. If there is a next time, I’ll definitely make you take your bedroll and go home!" (To be continued.
