Chapter 127: Discharge

~8 min read 1,499 words

The doctor wrote out a stack of requisitions, and after An Yinan took Chen Xun to have them checked one by one, they only had to wait for the results to come out.

It was already dark when the attending physician walked into the ward, looked at Chen Xun, and smiled, "You kid really have a charmed life."

An Yinan looked up at him, "How is the situation?"

"The blood clot in the brain has been cleared, and his vital signs are recovering; even the wound near his heart is healing very quickly."

"However, this injury is very serious. You must rest for at least three months. Do you understand what 'at least' means?"

Chen Xun looked at his good friend, "Nagging."

This doctor was a good friend of Chen Xun's, and he had treated all of his injuries. Over so many years of getting along, the two had become good friends; occasionally, when resting, they would eat barbecue and drink a little wine together.

"You're the one who isn't nagging, why don't you introduce the person next to you?" The attending physician, Qin Hao, pointed at An Yinan and said.

"My wife." This time, Chen Xun did not hesitate in the slightest.

Qin Hao looked at Chen Xun and then at An Yinan, "You kid are something else!"

Chen Xun looked at An Yinan with a silly grin, truly looking like a fool, which made Qin Hao wonder if there was something wrong with the examination results.

"How about I check your brain again?" Qin Hao did not hide his thoughts, asking while looking at him with disdain.

An Yinan nodded, "I think that's a good idea."

This made Qin Hao's eyes light up; that works, his brother's wife is interesting.

Chen Xun pulled a sour face, looking at Qin Hao with utter disgust, "Get lost."

"Going, going, you can only drink water within three hours, keep observing, and you can have some thin porridge after three hours." Although he was being treated with disgust, Qin Hao still said quickly; he wasn't afraid of this stubborn donkey not listening anymore, as he used to have to watch him take every dose of medicine, but now he figured it would just take one word from his wife.

After An Yinan saw Qin Hao out of the ward, she closed the door and returned to the room.

Chen Xun looked at An Yinan and smiled ingratiatingly, "Wife."

An Yinan rolled her eyes, "Your wife? Where is she? I'll go find her for you."

Chen Xun said shamelessly, "No need, no need, she's right in front of my eyes."

"Don't just call out blindly. I don't know if it's someone from the art troupe? Or some Leader's daughter? Or perhaps that doctor surnamed Xi?" She couldn't exactly say she was jealous, it was just that her heart felt a bit blocked; how could this guy be such a magnet for trouble?

When Chen Xun heard this, his face turned a bit dark; which wicked person was bad-mouthing him behind his back!

If he couldn't marry a wife, he would have to dig up their family's ancestral graves.

And in a small tavern dozens of kilometers away, Nike Dashu sneezed fiercely, "I wonder which little brat is thinking of me!"

After finishing his sentence, he happily took a sip of wine.

"Wife, they are all just talking nonsense. I have absolutely kept myself pure and haven't let those people touch me at all. You mustn't wrong me." Chen Xun begged for mercy with a thick skin.

An Yinan looked at his appearance and finally couldn't help but let out a "pfft."

"Behave yourself and don't go out attracting bees and butterflies, or I'll chop you up," An Yinan said fiercely.

Chen Xun quickly nodded and agreed. He was also wronged; he kept a cold face all day, and he didn't know what those lunatics saw in him. Wouldn't it be enough if he changed?

"Wife, that medicine of yours..." Chen Xun asked.

There were only the two of them in the room, and Yun Shu was guarding outside, so no one would be able to eavesdrop.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "The quantity is small, and it cannot be brought out. The ones with Big Brother and Sister-in-law have slightly weaker medicinal effects; I don't want to be dragged out to be dissected."

She did not hide it; the medicine came from her hands, but she wasn't ready to bring it out yet.

Chen Xun thought for a while, "The fact that my comrades and I survived this time is all thanks to your medicine. I took the one you gave me separately, but when I saw my teammates get shot, I really couldn't help but save them, so I gave them the medicine you mailed over."

At that time, An Yinan had mailed a package before the New Year, and inside the package were four Pills, which she had specially refined after boiling them in an ordinary medicine pot and adding medicinal powder and honey.

And later, she had refined a batch using the pill furnace given by the system, but the medicinal effect was too heaven-defying, so she never opened the furnace again.

After Chen Xun took the medicine, he immediately felt the blood flow decrease. He immediately tore open the medicine hidden in his clothes and fed it to his teammates. Only after seeing the blood on their bodies slowly decrease did he finally let out a sigh of relief; at the very least, they still had a hope of living.

But he couldn't do it; his teammates were right in front of him, about to die from blood loss, and while he had the medicine in his hand, he couldn't save them.

An Yinan frowned. She had anticipated this situation long ago; not just on Chen Xun's side, but even on Big Brother and Sister-in-law's side, she figured this situation would arise.

They were comrades who entrusted their backs to each other; how could they just watch them die?

But this situation had appeared a bit too early, and her foundation was not yet deep enough.

However, was it really not deep enough? As a confidential translator, even if she hadn't officially entered the Yun Family, the Yun Family was still her backing.

Perhaps these foundations weren't enough, but the prescription was in her own hands—was that enough?

This was something that saved lives!

"I know. I haven't figured out how to handle it for the time being," An Yinan planned silently in her heart.

Chen Xun said, "It's fine, the higher-ups haven't asked yet."

"If they ask, can you not tell them?" An Yinan smiled.

"Naturally, I can." Chen Xun nodded quickly.

His wife's things—he hadn't stolen them, he hadn't snatched them, and it wasn't against the law, plus it saved lives; why couldn't he keep them hidden?

An Yinan stayed in the hospital with Chen Xun for a full seven days before being kicked out of the hospital by a disgusted Qin Hao.

Every day they spent together, he felt like he was the only single dog left in the world.

Having a wife is amazing? Having a wife makes you something special?

It seems it really is amazing.

Sigh!

Zhang Qian had been writing his mission report for the past few days. Apart from coming to see Chen Xun on the first day, he specifically set aside time today to help pack up for their discharge.

"Battalion Commander, there is someone who wants to see you and Sister-in-law." Ever since Zhang Qian learned that their marriage application had been approved, he consciously changed how he addressed them.

In fact, he had gone to Quanshui Village as an Educated Youth in order to investigate a secret line laid out by the Japanese.

He hadn't expected An Yinan to stumble upon it by accident, and she even uprooted the spy within Quanshui Village, which also led to the stronghold in the County. With the cooperation of the military and government across all of Heilongjiang Province, that secret line was wiped clean a few days ago. Only a small group of people remained who wanted to send out intelligence, which was how Chen Xun's mission came about.

When they went on the mission, due to an error in reporting the number of people, the list was incorrect, which led to the higher-ups making a wrong estimate.

That was why Team One was injured. When the rescue arrived, it could be described as a scene of tragedy, with corpses everywhere; it was practically a river of blood.

But the strange thing was, although not a single person in Team One was conscious, they were all holding guns, either sitting or leaning, and not one of them had actually fallen over.

Others might not know about An Yinan's special Pill, but Zhang Qian had used it and experienced it firsthand, so he knew what an astonishing effect it had.
