Chapter 76: Favoring Beauty, Clinging to Younger Brother

Back then, after that old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner diagnosed her with infertility, she had once suspected that the practitioner's medical skills were not refined enough.

Therefore, while still accompanied by Shen Lan, she saw other doctors.

Including her mother, they all helped her find several famous doctors, but the diagnosis results were all the same: she was infertile.

For this reason, she felt guilty for many years during her marriage with Shen Lan.

But now, this military doctor said there was nothing wrong with her body; perhaps he was just not well-versed in gynecology!

Si Rong guessed this in her heart.

And the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible; there were mostly men in the military, so it was normal for a military doctor to not be skilled in gynecology.

After so many years, she had already accepted the fact of her infertility.

She came from the Si Family and had enjoyed a life of luxury that ordinary people had never experienced, and her family loved and indulged her.

It was impossible for her to have everything good in this world.

It was just that she really had to make this matter clear to Jiang Cheng.

Who wouldn't want to continue their own bloodline?

After Jiang Cheng returned, Si Rong put the *Journey to the West* back on the desk, placed her hands folded on her lap, and said solemnly, "Jiang Cheng, let's talk."

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Okay."

"Before, when we went on that blind date, we might have both been a bit impulsive, and some things weren't made clear. That, the military doctor should have misdiagnosed just now; I cannot conceive or have children, so you still need to consider this carefully."

It was better to say the ugly things first to avoid regret later.

"I have considered it very clearly," Jiang Cheng said decisively, "Jiang Zhi was raised by me single-handedly; she can support us in our old age in the future."

Regarding his future with Si Rong, he had already made arrangements.

"Besides, I don't like children at all; I never intended to have children in this life anyway."

Si Rong was far more important.

He didn't think his genes were worth continuing, and there was no imperial throne at home that needed to be inherited.

Si Rong raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering a term that had become popular this year, "Do you want to be DINK?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng's eyes were bright, "There is nothing good about children. A phrase my mother often keeps on her lips is: what is the use of having children? From the perspective of being a son, it seems children are indeed useless, so it is just fine for the two of us."

Si Rong lowered her eyes, not knowing why she suddenly felt a bit shy.

She glanced out the window; the rain had already stopped.

"That, take me home!"

Jiang Cheng held her hand down, "So, if I don't want children, does that mean we are still boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Si Rong:...

Did she say they were breaking up?

"I suppose, yes."

Jiang Cheng was relieved then. He squatted down in front of Si Rong, "I'll carry you on my back; the road is slippery after the rain."

And dirty.

In his heart, Si Rong should be a princess stepping on rose petals, never needing to be stained by mud.

The man's back was broad and thick; Si Rong carefully leaned onto it, trying her best to hold up her upper body.

To avoid any awkward contact.

During puberty, she had felt inferior because of this, as she was the only girl among her peers who had developed so prominently.

Young Si Rong hated running the most because she would always be mocked.

And she was always the slowest one.

Li Xuan was the exact opposite.

She always took first place in running during physical education class.

At this moment, Li Xuan looked down at her own chest; she was also troubled by this.

Although they lived together after getting engaged, Shen Lan always found excuses to sleep in separate rooms.

She was devastated by this and interrogated Shen Lan many times; only at the end did he use a mocking tone to say a sentence that hurt Li Xuan deeply.

He said that if she stood there and covered her face, he couldn't tell the front from the back.

It was simply a naked mockery of her as a woman!

Was it her fault for being small!

Thus, Li Xuan found a Rubber Institute.

Here, one could get "artificial nose bridges" and "artificial breasts."

Originally, she was worried about the surgery fee of over four hundred, but she unexpectedly discovered this money in Shen Lan's pocket soon after.

Li Xuan thought, as long as her plastic surgery was successful and she became as big as Si Rong, Shen Lan would definitely be willing to sleep in the same bed as her then.

All her schemes for so many years had fallen through; she had to seize Shen Lan's heart!

Taking the money, Li Xuan went to the Rubber Institute.

Jiang Cheng carried Si Rong on his back all the way home, being extra careful, and finally managed to place Si Rong on the sofa without any accidents.

"Well, I'll be going now."

Jiang Cheng was about to leave but remembered Si Rong's driving lessons, "When your foot is better, I will come to pick you up for driving practice every day."

"No need, I've already signed up for a driving school."

Si Rong braced her hands on the sofa, wanting to get up to pour him a glass of water, "I still have to get a driver's license."

Otherwise, even if one learned, one wouldn't be able to drive.

Jiang Cheng masked the disappointment in his eyes, "Mm."

Then he wouldn't be able to see her every day.

For a moment, he couldn't seem to think of any excuse.

"I heard you're test-flying a new type of fighter jet next week?" Si Rong recalled her second brother mentioning it.

"Mm, the J-27, next Tuesday. Would you like to come?"

Jiang Cheng asked.

"Is that allowed?"

Is this kind of test flight something an ordinary person can just watch if they want to?

"Family members can." Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

Si Rong:...

She felt that when Jiang Cheng said this, he seemed inexplicably secretly pleased.

Was this the "high mountain flower" of their school back then?

"If I can go watch, then I will go. Can my second brother go too?"

Because of his capitalist background, her second brother couldn't become an air force pilot even though he liked it.

But for so many years, her second brother had always maintained his love for the blue sky.

"He can."

Each test pilot can bring two family members; just don't let Jiang Yu go.

Exactly two.

Jiang Yu, upon learning the news:...

The County Magistrate, who was serious in front of outsiders, was so angry in front of his brother that he let out a marmot scream, "Brother! Didn't you promise me before?"

Knowing his brother's feelings for the daughter of the Si Family, there was definitely a spot for Si Rong.

Wasn't there one left?

"Brother, didn't you say you could bring two family members?"

"Yes, there are already two." Jiang Cheng replied calmly.

"Besides Si Rong, who else is there?" Jiang Yu asked, stunned.

He was his own biological younger brother!

Who could compare to him?

"Her second brother. Why are you nagging here?" Jiang Cheng handed him a rice bowl and habitually ordered, "Go get me another bowl of rice."

Jiang Yu:...

Fine! Very fine!

So it was the brother-in-law.

He really wanted to say, let your brother-in-law go get you the rice!

But due to the natural suppression of bloodline, Jiang Yu still went to get his brother rice, feeling stifled.

Prioritizing romance over his own brother!

Soon the day of the test flight arrived; Si Rong went to the military base with her second brother, and Jiang Cheng stood at the entrance in his white air force uniform to welcome them.

The military uniform made Jiang Cheng look even more peerlessly heroic; at this moment, Si Rong understood those girls who used to chase after Jiang Cheng to send him love letters.

If she had successfully received a love letter from Jiang Cheng back then, she probably would have been moved too!

The test flight was at the Huaiyang seaside.

Si Rong and her second brother were arranged to stand in a safe area with the other pilots' family members.

The first one was Jiang Cheng.

Si Rong watched Jiang Cheng sit into the fighter jet and watched the fighter jet slowly rise.

A sense of pride and glory welled up from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, she was also a little worried for Jiang Cheng.

"Too perfect! Only Division Commander Jiang can handle this instantaneous shift!"

"Otherwise, why do you think Division Commander Jiang was sent up? It's to set an example for these new recruits!"

The fighter jet in the sky performed another sonic boom acceleration, and Si Rong's heart began to race.

The new recruits were all stunned, occasionally letting out exclamations as the fighter jet maneuvered in the air.

Just then, the fighter jet dove and descended rapidly.

Si Rong thought it was another flight technique.

But she heard an officer discuss, "It's bad! The fighter jet has a problem!"

"What to do? Will something happen to Division Commander Jiang?"

"Hard to say. You haven't forgotten the test flight a few years ago, right? Although Division Commander Jiang has good skills, this altitude is too high."

Si Rong looked up at the fighter jet descending rapidly in the sky, her heart clenching together.

At an altitude of 3,600 meters, she pressed her palms together and prayed to every god and Buddha she could think of.
