Chen Ling stayed in the ICU for a month, and at the end of November, he was transferred to the high-ranking ward.

Except for the nurse who was on duty at night, Shen Zhen stayed close to every step during the rest of the time.

She never shaved Chen Chongzhou's beard, but she cleaned Chen Ling up neatly and handsomely, without any haggard look.

"Third Uncle, I vomit badly." Shen Zhen dipped a cotton swab in mineral water and soaked his chapped lips, "Throw up whatever you eat."

"Chongzhou has become a doctor again. His former patients seem to have discussed it with each other. They even drew up banners and hung them all over Chongzhou's clinics. The first floor of the andrology department was tight. On the day he returned to work, he sold more than 300 accounts. Director Liao was so envious! Among them was a couple surnamed Yang, in their early fifties. They were cured of infertility in Chongzhou and gave birth to twins. Mrs. Yang introduced her colleagues, relatives, neighbors, and those men who had no problems. They cheered, and the scene was spectacular."

Shen Zhen giggled, "Third uncle, why don't you smile." She panicked inexplicably sour, "I want to see you smile, you look the best when you smile."

"Third uncle..." she sobbed.

The man's face was pale and his breathing was very shallow. When the warm towel brushed over his brows, and the faint fragrance of jasmine filled her wrists, Chen Ling's eyes trembled slightly.

Shen Zhen didn't notice it.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and she turned her head when she heard the sound, "You are here."

Chen Yuan unbuttoned his suit, "Same as usual?"

"Ah."

He noticed that her eye circles were red, "worried?"

Shen Zhen was terribly wronged, "I pinched third uncle, but he didn't respond."

Chen Yuan paused, "Pinch Third Uncle?"

"Occasionally, I would scratch him and call him an old bachelor."

He couldn't help laughing, "Third Uncle in his life, you are the only woman who dares to treat him like this, including men, you are unique."

Shen Zhen poured a glass of water and handed it to Chen Yuan, "Is your company going well?"

"At least six days a week to socialize, and I'm used to it." After drinking the water, he put down the paper cup, "Where's the second child?"

"In the hospital, operations are performed consecutively." She slowed down the flow rate of the infusion. "Being a doctor is busier than being a business manager. He hasn't had a vacation for more than 40 days."

Chen Yuan walked to the bedside, half joking and half serious, "If I knew it earlier, it would be better if I didn't help my second son take care of it, so he can spend more time with you at home."

Shen Zhen immediately changed his words, "I don't blame you."

He also laughed, "I'm teasing you."

She suddenly thought of something, "Song Lichu ran into Zhao Jijiu dating a man at a western restaurant on Huanhu West Road, didn't you succeed?"

Chen Yuan was startled.

Haven't seen her for a long time.

Indeed, Zhao Jijiu hasn't pestered him for a long time.

Wanwen went public and became very popular. Many projects were signed between Hong Kong and the province, including government contracting and private enterprise cooperation. Chen Yuan had no time to distract himself.

What's more, he didn't care at all.

"The last time she showed up was in October, and Zhao Zhikai arranged a blind date for her." He sat on the sofa and didn't take it seriously, "Maybe it's a blind date."

Shen Zhen sat across from him, "You don't answer, she doesn't want to lose face."

Chen Yuan was very tired, he massaged his temples, "I don't like it, why bother her."

"Miss Zhao took the initiative, what are you delaying? We women hate your men to say three words, I am for your own good. I don't want you to suffer with me. You deserve a man who is better than me. Whether it is worth it, good or bad, Women are not stupid, can't they tell the difference? Since you are happy, it is natural to recognize you. If you really don't like it, that's all. If you get along well and don't hate it, why not give Ms. Zhao a chance?" She walked around the reception table and cleaned up Chen Chongzhou's leftovers. The medical case was written with earnestness and earnestness, "Chen Dong, you are 38 years old."

He couldn't help laughing, "One year old shall prevail."

"That's 37, not old? It's rare that Ms. Zhao doesn't dislike you."

Chen Yuan stared at her back and forth figure. Her lower abdomen was a little bulging, her waist was still slender, and she was tied with a high ponytail and a grass-green bowknot, which made her look youthful.

The second child did raise her to her heart's content, not like a mother, but like a pink and romantic little girl.

"Zhao Jijiu's temperament is very similar to yours."

Shen Zhen tilted his head, "Like me?"

He pondered, "Bingxue is smart, unruly, and kind."

"Miss Zhao's reputation seems to be stronger than that of Wanxixi." She spread jam on a slice of bread, "Why are you dissatisfied with her?"

"I'm not dissatisfied." Chen Yuan tapped on the armrest of the sofa, "It's not suitable."

In fact, it's not even inappropriate.

It's purely the disease of the man from the Chen family.

Loving a woman hurts the muscles and bones, and makes her half-dead.

Peeling is average.

As many as ten or eight years, as little as ninety months.

Always get through that time, heal the wound, let go of forgetting.

Chen Yuan had lunch at the hospital and left in the afternoon.

Shen Zhen went to the water room on the first floor to fetch a pot of hot water. When he returned, there was a woman standing in the ward.

About the same age as Chen Ling, with intellectual and mature short hair, dark blue coat, holding a bouquet of flowers.

Just look at the back, elegant and capable.

Shen Zhen didn't bother her, leaning against the door.

The woman stared at the drowsy Chen Ling, "In these years, you have become more and more stubborn."

She moved the chair and sat down, and put the bouquet on the window sill.

"I remember that in the police academy, there were 372 students in that class. You had the highest score in the college entrance examination, and you were also the most rebellious. The principal, instructor, and teacher bothered you very much." The woman couldn't help laughing, "You are assigned to the Chang'an District Bureau. Out of the 25 intern police officers, only you were criticized and almost sent back to school, and you are the only one who has the guts to make third-class merit in less than half a year."

Shen Zhen opened the boxy window, this scene was old and long.

It is Chen Ling's eventful years, and the past is full of love.

"That third-class work, you almost risked your life. I cried and begged you to become a policeman. Even if you become a criminal policeman, you should at least be transferred from the serious crime team, so as not to worry me. If you don't want to, you would rather break up with me."

The woman laughed at herself, "Love, affection, money, all desires in this world, in your eyes, are nothing compared to your police uniform, your belief, your blood and honor. We have been together for two years and eight months, since From the age of 20 to 22, they split up and joined together until you were 26 years old and went to the front line in Myanmar. I saw your shirt was stained with blood, five steel nails were embedded in your left leg, your shoulder blade was pierced by bullets, and the top of your skull was pierced. Seven stitches."

She couldn't restrain herself, and cried even more, "Chen Ling, I regret being admitted to the police academy and meeting you. If I meet a man who I don't love so deeply, I can understand him, support him, and even accept him. His sacrifice. I am also a police officer. I love my career more than my husband. But fate made me meet you. I rehearsed your sacrifice over and over again in my mind. I realized that I couldn’t support you. I I don't deserve to be by your side, because I'm selfish. The man I love, who is willing to risk his life, is destined to belong to the police, to the battlefield, and to be a hero of the people. He will not only belong to me, but to a small family. .”

The woman got up and tucked the quilt for him, "Bless you to survive this disaster, you are not young anymore, you will live for yourself for the rest of your life."

Chen Ling lay motionless, lying under the scorching white light, disappearing like a sea.

The next second, the woman walked towards the door.

Shen Zhen didn't have time to dodge and met her head-on.

The woman stopped immediately and blurted out, "Are you Shen Zhen?"

She was confused, "You recognize me?"

"I don't know, I've heard your name before."

Shen Zhen was surprised, "I haven't met you, have I?"

"Aren't you and Chen Ling together?" The woman looked her up and down, "The man from the Chen family really has good eyesight. Miss Shen is round and cute, like a small tomato."

mellow...

Her smile froze. "Thanks..."

In the evening, when Chen Chongzhou came back from get off work, Shen Zhen was cooking porridge in the kitchen, "A woman visited my third uncle today."

He pulled off his tie and washed his hands in front of the sink, "Subordinates."

"It's the third uncle's first love girlfriend in the police academy." She scooped up a spoon, and the servant carried the enamel pot and went straight to the restaurant. She pretended to hide the door, "The temperament is really different from ordinary women, heroic and virtuous. "

Chen Chongzhou had never seen it before. It is said that they talked for two or three years. It was not long or short. Chen Ling was more traditional. He didn't bring it home until it was time to talk about marriage.

Once it reaches that level, it is useless for anyone to disagree.

Shen Zhen muttered, "She praised me."

This sluggish attitude doesn't sound like such a nice thing to say.

He raised his eyebrows, "What are you boasting about?"

"Praise me like a tomato, round and round."

Chen Chongzhou sneered, "It's also true."

She was annoyed, and turned her face on the spot, "Why am I fat? Didn't I give birth to a son for you? You bastards have no conscience at all!"

He has a good temper and accepted everything he ordered, "Madam taught you the right thing."

A dog man, Chen Chongzhou endured it.

Shen Zhen likes to call him a dog man when he is angry.

As for his son, he didn't have time to "report the good news" this time.

Of course, it was joy for him, but not necessarily joy for Shen Zhen.

She was very jealous, and she didn't want to conceive his little lover, but her own.

Last Friday, she went to the Municipal People's Hospital for an obstetric checkup and was called Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan has been promoted to associate professor of gynecology.

Shen Zhen played tricks for a long time, but failed to get a result.

The next day, Chen Chongzhou blocked Jiang Lan in the cafeteria at noon and offered a luxurious meal, "I bought Mickey Mouse toys for my children, male or female."

Jiang Lan opened the lid of the lunch box, "Braised lamb chops, sweet and sour shrimp balls, stir-fried okra, the standard is 45 yuan, do you want to fish here?"

"This is the most expensive combination in the cafeteria." The man rolled up the sleeves of his white coat, "I'm still hungry."

She smiled, "Come on! Why is Dr. Chen crying poor? You live in a villa."

"Married men have no money in their pockets, and I saved up my own money for Director Jiang."

Jiang Lan didn't eat, and lived together again, "I don't appreciate it."

Chen Chongzhou stood up and followed closely behind, "Director Jiang, the blue one for the milk bottle?"

"Yellow."

He laughed, "Where's the baby carriage."

Jiang Lan took a deep breath, "Everyone in the department knows that Dr. Chen wants a daughter, so you can be a daughter slave at ease."

After that, Chen Chongzhou's eyes were always full of light, like stars.

***

When Shen Zhen was five months pregnant, Chen Ling's brain monitor suddenly showed huge fluctuations.

The attendant Han Zhao was puzzled, opened Chen Ling's eyelids, and tried his heartbeat again, "First time?"

The nurse flipped through the records, "The signs have always been stable, which should be the first time."

Han Zhao glanced at Shen Zhen, "Is it someone who is very important to him, or mentioned his unfulfilled wish, which stimulated him?"

She shook her head in a daze, "I just told my third uncle that my baby is moving."

Chen Chongzhou was in the outer living room dealing with the backlog of laboratory reports from the Municipal People's Andrology Department, without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that the reason for the fluctuation was that Shen Zhen was too noisy.

Chen Ling is very quiet.

The two sons of the Chen family don't like to be lively, and Chen Ling is even more so.

Reading a criminal investigation book can focus on one day without speaking a word.

And Shen Zhen nagged endlessly in his ear, although he was in a deep coma, he still had sporadic sensations.

After finishing the seminar in the courtyard, Ma Boping checked himself and put away his stethoscope, "Ju Chen has the will to survive."

Han Zhao was overjoyed, "Is there a miracle?"

"It's not conclusive for now, but there is indeed a response." Ma Boping comforted Shen Zhen, "Chatting with Chen Ju more will help wake him up."

After getting married, Chen Chongzhou spoiled her with arrogance and willfulness, but in fact, Shen Zhen was a well-behaved and sensible woman in his heart.

Especially, afraid of doctors.

Li Huizhi said that she had injections and medicine since she was a child, and she cried while obeying the doctor's orders.

Very honest.

Therefore, under her repeated "attacks" with extreme vigor, Chen Ling's mental fluctuations became more and more frequent.

Every winter in this city, there will be heavy snowfall.

This year is no exception.

The washed hospital gown was drying on the radiator, and it was very hot. Chen Chongzhou changed it for Chen Ling, and then received a call from Gu Yuan, and avoided it in the corridor.

Shen Zhen wiped Chen Ling's arm, "Third Uncle, you are going to be a grandfather."

The man's eyeballs bulged and turned one after another.

She took his hand and stroked his protruding abdomen, "In five months, your grandnephew will be born." She muttered, "Chen Yu."

The man was still pale, and his outline was thinner because he couldn't eat on his own.

Shen Zhen bent slightly, leaned on the end of the bed, and patiently trimmed his toenails, "Third uncle, I don't like that lock, the color of sapphire is too light, the boy wants dark green, when you recover, you can buy another one, okay?" .”

Chen Ling had a scar on the back of his instep, the round hole scar branded on it by the inertia of the bullet casing falling to the ground.

She pursed her lips, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

His uniform was decorated with medals, and he was covered with scars in exchange for it.

Chen Chongzhou came in after making the phone call, and Shen Zhen was lying on the bedside and taking a nap.

He leaned over and tried to hug her to sleep on the sofa, but she pinched the sheet tightly, and he simply let her lie on her stomach.

At dusk at that time, the setting sun sank in the western sky.

The brightest ray of sunlight shrouded Chen Ling's face, and after a long while, he slowly opened it.

Cloudy, heavy.

As far as the eye can see, the gauze curtain is floating, and in the gap, the window is pure white.

Beneath the iron coffin lies a cold ice edge, which is minus fifteen degrees in the northern winter.

The man instinctively made a sound, but his throat couldn't make a sound, blocked by a mouthful of phlegm.

Shen Diandian's right arm was a little blunt and numb, he lowered his eyes, Shen Zhen's face was buried in the quilt, clean and transparent, delicate and clear.

He was stunned, stretched out his hand stiffly, stroked her long hair, forehead, nose tip, and finally lingered on her lips.

Chen Ling never thought that he once escaped from death in embarrassment, and woke up with such a picture.

He felt no pain, nor was he exhausted.

Chen Ling only felt happy, peaceful, and had no regrets.

Shen Zhen trembled violently in his sleep, this dream was too real.

It was so real that she felt the itching from the man's touch, body temperature, and friction of fine hair.

So close, so tender.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the hand that was on her cheek, which was generous, huge, with well-defined tendons, dyed with a strong medicinal fragrance.

Years of gun training have sharpened hard and rough cocoons, lingering on the knuckles, like a deep, eternal sea and mulberry field.

Shen Zhen sucked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, stared straight at him, "Third Uncle, I dreamed that you woke up."

A smile appeared in the corner of Chen Ling's eyes, probably too weak, and the smile lines only lasted for a moment, "Little fool."

She was taken aback for a moment, understood something, and cried miserably, "I called me a little fool in my dream."

The smile on the man's brow melted, "Why are you crying?"

"This scene is too familiar. My third uncle and I have experienced it twice." The more she cried, the more Chen Ling laughed.

Shen Zhen choked, "Next time, I'm injured, and third uncle is fine."

"Nonsense." He snapped.

The crying was so intense that Chen Chongzhou came over in shock. He looked at Chen Ling unexpectedly, "Third Uncle, you have been in a coma for 84 days."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ling's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't hear clearly.

Chen Chongzhou smiled, "I'm not working hard, Shen Zhen has been taking care of you for these three months."

Seeing that Chen Ling was awake, the medical staff who made the rounds immediately invited Ma Boping.

After a detailed diagnosis, Ma Boping asked him, "Ju Chen, how do you feel?"

Chen Ling was weak, "It's okay."

Ma Boping pressed his chest, "Do you feel numbness?"

He replied, "Yes."

Shen Zhen stood there in a daze, with tears in his eyes, and he never came back to his senses.

Chen Chongzhou hugged her body and stood aside.

Ma Boping turned around and shook hands with him, "Congratulations to Dr. Chen, Mr. Chen must be blessed if he survives a catastrophe."

Chen Chongzhou was gentle and courteous, "During this period of time, I have been carefully treated by the Labor Horse Hospital."

Ma Boping said with emotion, "Actually, according to Chen Ju's injury analysis, I gave him a 'death sentence' on the day he was pushed off the operating table. Dr. Chen, you know this kind of case, even if it is revived, it is likely to be a vegetable. The skull, the bullet pierced the chest cavity, the lung lobe, how difficult and dangerous. Chen Ju is worthy of being a front-line hero, his perseverance is a hundred times stronger than ordinary people."

Thinking of Shen Zhen's tireless bombing of Chen Ling, Chen Chongzhou was suddenly amused, and said seriously, "It's because of your superb medical skills."

"It's your elder brother Lu Changlu who has a lot of connections and can move around the Beijing area. He is the national player in charge of the most powerful and rich people." Ma Boping looked at Shen Zhen who was in a daze, "Chen Bureau loves this nephew and daughter-in-law very much."
