Chapter 95 He had his eyes closed, and she gently touched him.

When Shu Ying arrived at the military base today, she consciously observed everyone walking on the road. Everyone's appearance and demeanor were positive and upbeat.

Some people even have very loud voices; you can hear their voices coming from the courtyard from a distance.

"They all look full of energy. It's true that people need to exercise more. The people here are like the flowers my grandma used to grow, thriving and flourishing. I could hear the neighbors shouting from my yard today."

They were very simple and kind, unlike the neighbors who lived next to them in the past.

Although there were indeed a few strange older women, they were all very enthusiastic at first.

Shu Ying nervously rubbed her hands together. Actually, she really wanted to help her child integrate into this place as soon as possible.

After all, she had no intention of going back to Shanghai anytime soon after moving here, and her two children would most likely be attending school here.

The Shu family doesn't know when they will be able to be properly recognized. Rather than going back where everyone hates them, they might as well settle down here first.

only--

“Yueyue has always been by my side. She has always spoken softly since she was a child. There are many things she is not used to here. I don’t know when she will be able to adapt. Yangyang is a boy after all. He is good at integrating into new environments. Your workplace is also quite attractive to him.”

Shu Ying's face was thin, and when she rested her chin on one hand, her features remained largely intact. In the ward, only her voice could be heard as she spoke patiently.

"I also try to be more sociable, but the thought of speaking loudly is very strange to me. I can't imagine what that would be like at all."

From the time she could remember, her family had been teaching her what good manners were.

She was really not used to the sudden change in her lifestyle, which she had lived for more than 20 years.

But everyone is like this, and her being unconventional will cause gossip. Most military dependents come from rural areas, so her status makes her seem less respectable.

Constantly adopting a different style will only make those around you more disgusted.

Shu Ying looked at the gauze wrapped around Xie Zhiyan's forehead and sat up straight again.

"I heard you were originally supposed to go on a mission. I didn't expect you to be so busy even though you're already a commander. Xie Zhiyan, when will you finally have some time for yourself?"

They had already missed out on so much, and she didn't want to suffer like this any longer.

Xie Zhiyan lay on the hospital bed with his eyes still closed. Shu Ying sighed, wondering when this would ever end.

She walked around the hospital bed and gently lifted the blanket covering Xie Zhiyan.

He has many injuries on his legs, and his muscles are recovering. Proper massage will help him recover faster.

Shu Ying gently placed her hand on his leg, massaging the muscles in his calf with just the right amount of pressure.

Her fingers are slender, and the places where they touch her skin have a unique tactile sensation.

A small strand of hair fell in front of her eyes. Shu Ying straightened up slightly, pulled up a chair next to her, and sat down, tucking her bangs behind her ears.

"Neither of us has much of an expression, but why do you seem much more popular than me? You'd better wake up and talk to me."

Shu Ying massaged the man's muscles intermittently. In the past, she would never have imagined that the two of them would have such intimate moments.

However, things are different now, and she is unwilling to sit idly by and wait for her death. At most, she will do her best to do things that can alleviate Xie Zhiyan's pain.

"Actually, when you don't smile, you're also cold and aloof, like a piece of wood. Every time I saw you before, I felt like you had no emotions. Shu Yan even said my expression was harsh, but she probably hasn't seen you before. If you wake up, no one will say I have a sour face anymore."

She gently rubbed her cheek with one hand: "You have no idea how many people I met today, people I knew and people I didn't know. I had to smile at them all day long, and my face is almost stiff from smiling."

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. She's not the kind of person who's naturally outgoing and doesn't know how to strike up a conversation. So she just smiles along with whatever people say, which is better than having a blank face.

After she finished massaging Xie Zhiyan's legs, she gently rubbed his arms to relax his limbs before turning off the light.

The already quiet ward was plunged into darkness in an instant. Shu Ying could not see her own hand in front of her face, and only then could she finally be herself again.

She sat in a chair, one hand resting on the edge of the bed, her voice very soft.

"Xie Zhiyan, I was actually very nervous when I came here today. I didn't know if you would welcome me and the child, or if you had any other plans, but I really had no other choice."

She thought of Shanghai. The Shu family was no longer a place to stay. If it weren't for Shu Yan, she wouldn't have known that Xie Zhiyan was still alive.

"Fortunately, the journey here went relatively smoothly. I ran into Sister Song again, and then I successfully found your workplace. Actually, I was quite scared. I was worried that if I said or did something wrong, it would make others dislike me even more."

Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, her bad family background couldn't overcome the prejudice in people's hearts.

Having arrived in the capital, she had to consider an extra layer of things. She had to plan for her child and also find a way not to hold Xie Zhiyan back.

"When I went back today, a few of the women looked at me strangely. But I'm new here and don't know them well, so I couldn't just go up to them and ask why."

She had heard on the train that the military family compound was the most harmonious, because everyone basically worked in the same unit, and they saw each other all the time, whether at work or in life. If anyone had any difficulties, they would go over to help without even asking.
