Chapter 187: Because in His Past Two Lives, He Had the Same Illness as Hua Zhenrong

Gu Jianing also explained Hua Zhenrong’s current condition to the Hua family, emphasizing that getting enough sleep was absolutely essential.

Since Hua Zhenrong was asleep now, she would return the next day to perform acupuncture treatment on him.

She would have to come every day for half a month.

Of course, this was just the initial stage of treatment. With her daily sessions, Hua Zhenrong would gradually have more and more hours of clarity during the day.

After that, Gu Jianing would also provide him with psychological therapy.

The initial treatment addressed the symptoms, while psychological therapy would tackle the root cause.

“Only when both his body and mind are healed can this illness truly be considered cured.”

The Hua family nodded in agreement, feeling that this made perfect sense.

Although Hua Zhenrong had fallen asleep again, the fact that he had woken up at all today had given the family a huge boost of confidence. They firmly believed that Gu Jianing could indeed cure him.

Since Hua Zhenrong’s treatment for the day was finished, it was time for Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi to leave.

“Dr. Gu, we’ll be relying on you from now on. I’ll have the driver pick you up from the Sang family every day,” Mr. Hua said.

Gu Jianing nodded her agreement.

After all, Hua Zhenrong’s treatment would take half a month, and in a few days, Sheng Zexi would have to return to the Northwest Military District.

Gu Jianing would need to stay in Beijing temporarily, only returning after Hua Zhenrong’s treatment was complete.

Since she was heavily pregnant, having the Hua family’s driver pick her up and drop her off was the best arrangement.

So, over the next few days, Sheng Zexi accompanied Gu Jianing to the Hua residence for Hua Zhenrong’s treatment.

Under Gu Jianing’s care, Hua Zhenrong’s periods of wakefulness grew longer each day. He slept well, could eat, and although he was still thin, his spirits were visibly improving.

Because they were coming and going from the Hua residence so frequently—and the Hua family was always the focus of attention—many people tried to find out what was going on.

However, the Hua family kept things tightly under wraps, so not many people knew the details.

But the Li family, who lived in the same compound as the Hua family, had picked up on some news.

For example, Li Tingxuan.

“I heard the Hua family brought someone in to treat Hua Zhenrong’s madness, and it’s actually working?” Li Tingxuan listened to his family’s gossip and fell into deep thought.

He knew about Hua Zhenrong’s illness.

Because in his past two lives, he had suffered from the exact same illness as Hua Zhenrong.

These days, Li Tingxuan was still dreaming.

The dreams were fragmented, but after having them so often, he could vaguely piece together that what he was dreaming about were his previous two lives.

Or so it seemed.

In the dreams, in both past lives, he participated in the same battle, but the outcome was never good.

In the dreams, his situation was even worse than Hua Zhenrong’s.

He was captured, and the enemy tortured and killed his comrades right in front of him...

Not only that, they even cut off his fingers.

In the end, although he was rescued, he lost his mind.

In his dreams, in the life before last, no one could treat him, so he died.

He died two years after Hua Zhenrong did.

But in his last life, he met her.

She was the only one who could heal him.

She cured him.

You could say she gave Li Tingxuan in his previous life a second chance and redemption.

Before, he would always forget the contents of his dreams after waking up.

But starting from a certain day in November last year, he began to remember them clearly upon waking.

He could vividly recall her, dressed in a white lab coat, like an angel of salvation descended to earth, glowing as she treated him.

He remembered every detail of her treatment, her voice—everything.

Except...

Even now, he still hadn’t seen her face clearly in his dreams.

Although it was just a dream, Li Tingxuan knew it wasn’t just a dream—it was truly his past two lives.

As for why he was dreaming of his previous lives, he had no idea.

But he knew that the same battle would happen again.

If he didn’t change anything, everything would repeat as before.

Of course, since he had been given the chance to remember his past lives, he was determined to change things.

And as for her... he had to find her!

“If Hua Zhenrong can be cured, the Hua family’s legacy can continue...” his grandfather’s sigh pulled Li Tingxuan back to reality.

Li Tingxuan thought to himself: Unless it’s her, it’s impossible!

But it probably wasn’t her.

She should be in the Northwest Military District right now.

“Tingxuan, has your transfer order to the Northwest Military District come through yet?” Old Master Li asked.

Li Tingxuan straightened up and replied, “Grandpa, the order has come through. Once I finish the handover, I’ll be able to go—probably in a week.”

“Good. Tingxuan, you know the hopes I’ve placed on you. Don’t let me down.” Old Master Li patted him on the shoulder.

Li Tingxuan looked him in the eye and said firmly, “Grandpa, I know.”

He knew his grandfather’s expectations and love for him.

In his dreams, in his life before last, after he died, his grandfather aged ten years overnight and passed away the following year.

Now, with this foresight, he was determined to avoid certain tragedies and hoped to bring the Li family to new heights.

He would not let his grandfather down—except when it came to his marriage...

When it came to marriage and love, he wanted to make his own choices.

Meanwhile, Sheng Zexi’s leave was coming to an end, and he had to return to the Northwest Military District today.

Before leaving, Sheng Zexi carefully reminded Gu Jianing to take care of herself and asked her grandmother to look after her as well.

“Don’t worry, Ningning is my granddaughter-in-law, and she’s carrying my great-grandchild. Of course I’ll take good care of her,” Grandma Sang promised.

“When Ningning finishes treating the Hua family’s third son, I’ll go back to the Northwest Military District with her.” Grandma Sang had already planned to go take care of Gu Jianing when her pregnancy was further along.

Now, the timing was just right.

When Ningning returned to the Northwest Military District, she would go with her.

“Alright,” Sheng Zexi agreed.

He knew he could trust his grandparents to take good care of Ningning.

But still, not being by her side made him uneasy.

Gu Jianing stepped forward and hugged Sheng Zexi. “Brother Xi, don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. You have to take care of yourself too.”

“Okay.” Sheng Zexi hugged her back, savoring her warmth and presence. When it was almost time for his train, he finally let go, shouldered his bag, and left.

Gu Jianing waved goodbye.

Sheng Zexi’s departure was something Gu Jianing was not used to.

Especially since his last mission, Sheng Zexi hadn’t left her side, always there at night to take care of her.

So now that he was gone, Gu Jianing truly felt his absence.

But she knew this separation was only temporary—and necessary.

The most important thing now was to cure Hua Zhenrong as soon as possible."
