Chapter 208: Chapter 208

When Wang Li arrived at the guesthouse, she saw Yang Lin dressed warmly, sitting on the bed and staring blankly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Wang Li noticed that Yang Lin’s complexion wasn’t good and asked.

"Oh, nothing, I just slept in a different place last night and I’m not used to it, plus there were lots of mosquitoes here."

Yang Lin gave Wang Li a weak smile.

Wang Li didn’t find anything suspicious in Yang Lin’s words.

So, she didn’t ask further.

The two of them went to yesterday’s place together, continuing the physical exams for the soldiers’ families.

With each step Yang Lin took, she felt her body was about to fall apart.

But she had to endure; she couldn’t let others see anything.

Fortunately, it was only today, and she could go home tonight.

She deeply regretted trying to get close to Ye Hao this way.

Ye Hao hadn’t made any progress, and she had suffered greatly because of it.

All morning, Yang Lin endured her discomfort, and finally, by lunch, it was all over.

"Let’s eat before heading back."

One of the male doctors suggested.

Wang Li and another male doctor agreed.

"No, I’d rather go back now. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I want to rest early."

Yang Lin immediately objected.

She didn’t want to go to the cafeteria and run into Chen Jun again.

Even though she didn’t know what happened last night, she blamed Chen Jun for it all.

"Fine, let’s head back then."

Wang Li thought there was still time to eat at home, so she concurred.

The two male doctors saw that the women wanted to go back, so they decided to return together.

When Yang Lin got home, she tossed her things onto the floor.

"What’s wrong, who made our darling angry?"

Yang Lin’s mother came over, seeing her daughter looking unhappy, and asked.

"Mom, I’m so tired, I need to sleep for a bit, I won’t eat."

Yang Lin said and went straight into her room, locking the door behind her.

"What’s wrong with this kid?"

Yang Lin’s mother knew her daughter’s temper.

She shook her head outside the door and opened Yang Lin’s suitcase at the doorway, taking out the dirty clothes.

After returning to her room, the first thing Yang Lin did was go to the bathroom for a shower.

She looked at herself in the mirror and angrily swept everything off the sink onto the floor.

After Chen Jun finished training that morning, he quickly headed towards Yang Lin’s location.

But when he arrived, everyone had left.

Chen Jun had hoped that, by using yesterday’s incident, he could have more contact with Yang Lin and make her accept him faster.

When Chen Jun’s mother saw her son enter the room listlessly.

"Did you miss Yang Lin?"

"Yeah, I heard they finished before noon and went straight back."

Chen Jun said helplessly.

"Son, remember, I know you want to settle things with Yang Lin soon so you can get that deputy commander position, but you must remember, nothing should be rushed. She probably doesn’t want to see you right now, leaving is better, otherwise seeing you might make her angrier. Isn’t she trying to get involved with Ye Hao? So she will definitely come to the base again. As long as she comes, we’ll have new chances."

Chen Jun’s mother quickly analyzed.

"Mom, I know, I’m just worried time won’t wait for anyone. What if I finally get her, and the higher-ups have already made their decision?"

Chen Jun said calculatingly.

"You’re just short-sighted; if you really get together with Yang Lin, what’s a deputy commander position? Then, have her father transfer you directly to the city, wouldn’t it be better?"

Chen Jun’s mother thought about how she could also become a city resident then.

Listening to his mother’s words, Chen Jun broke into a smile.

"Mom, you see things clearly."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Ever since Gu Yi moved, although she lived not far from the Ye Family’s parents.

Every time she went to school, she took a detour.

So since moving, she hadn’t run into any Ye Family members.

This time, Wang Yuan didn’t meet her at school either, and after class, Gu Yi always said she had errands and left through the main gate.

"Sister Yi Yi, let’s go home together after class, how come I always miss you?"

That day, Wang Yuan directly grabbed Gu Yi and said.

Gu Yi knew she wouldn’t be able to hide it from Wang Yuan for long, and she didn’t intend to deceive Wang Yuan.

She just didn’t want to talk about it with others.

If she did, it would bring up the divorce with Ye Hao.

"Moved? Why did you move? Where did you move to?"

Wang Yuanyi immediately had a belly full of questions; she was living well, why move?

"I’ll tell you more after class."

Gu Yi saw people around and didn’t say much.

Wang Yuan finally waited until Ye Wu finished school.

"Sister Yi Yi, let’s go."

Gu Yi looked at Wang Yuan’s curious expression and smiled, nodding her head.

They went directly to a noodle shop.

After they ordered noodles and sat down, Gu Yi immediately said.

Wang Yuan exclaimed in shock.

The people eating noodles in the shop looked at them.

Wang Yuan quickly covered her mouth.

Once people stopped focusing on them.

"Sister Yi Yi, are you joking?"

Wang Yuan said in a quiet voice.

"Do you think I would joke about this?"

Gu Yi smiled and said.

Wang Yuan looked at Gu Yi speechlessly for a while.

Although she felt Gu Yi wouldn’t joke about such things, seeing Gu Yi without a hint of sadness over the divorce was puzzling.

"Sister Yi Yi, are you okay?"

Wang Yuan looked at the smile on Gu Yi’s face and suddenly felt that maybe she just didn’t want others to see her wounds.

"I have to be okay because here I’m not allowed to be sad."

Gu Yi placed her hand gently on her lower abdomen and said.

Wang Yuan suddenly felt a deep pity for Gu Yi.

"Yes, a little over two months now. It’s because of this baby that I found the courage to make this decision."

Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Does the director know?"

"No, this is my child. I don’t care about anything else, but I must protect her. I don’t want her to be born into an unhappy family."

Wang Yuan looked at Gu Yi and finally understood the saying that a woman becomes strong when she becomes a mother.

"What are your plans next?"

"I’ll finish school first, and deal with other things later. Besides, things have a way of working out."

Gu Yi seemed optimistic.

Wang Yuan wasn’t sure what to say.

She just nodded along.

Meanwhile, Ye Hao at the base was thinking about last night’s dream.

He’s unsure if it was because of the medicine and note in the military bag.

The dream’s lighting was particularly soft.

There was a woman, back facing him, crouched down organizing his things, saying she brought him medicine, and had written the types, usage, and dosage.

He asked in the dream.

"Don’t be silly, when you’re out, be sure to stay safe, don’t forget I’m waiting for you at home."

That woman didn’t turn around and continued organizing.

Ye Hao wanted to see her face, so he took a step forward.

"What’s wrong with you today, I’m Gu Yi, don’t you remember me?"

The woman said sadly, and disappeared after speaking.

Ye Hao woke up from the dream with a start.

For some reason, that woman’s last words made his heart ache slightly.

He decided he needed to find out the answer.
