Soon, her sister-in-law knocked on the door and came in, "Ningning, Mr. Sheng has already arrived, you should come out too."
"Eh, okay." Gu Jia Ning replied, hearing her own slightly distorted voice.
Yang Manman felt that the moment her sister-in-law turned around, the whole area brightened up.
Her skin was smooth, lips were red and teeth were white, her black hair was shiny and soft, her waist slender, with an inherent charm; as she walked, her skirt swayed like a blooming flower.
The little girl is indeed so beautiful.
Yang Manman mused that it was no wonder the Gu Family members doted on such a pretty sister-in-law. If she weren't so troublesome, she herself would want to dote on her too, as merely looking at her was pleasing to the eye, uplifting the mood.
No wonder Officer Sheng still remembered her after leaving for more than half a year and asked someone to arrange a meeting.
As Gu Jia Ning stepped out, she immediately saw a tall and upright man, his dark green military uniform accentuating his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He seemed to be talking to her parents; sensing her gaze, he suddenly looked up at her, his eyes locking onto her like a leopard.
The young girl clearly had been meticulously dressed up; the energy between her brows was much better compared to yesterday. It seemed her health had improved significantly.
Sheng Zexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, both parties sat down.
Sheng Zexi began to talk about his family background.
"My father is a leader of the Beijing Military District. My mother passed away when I was thirteen. Six months later, my father remarried, my stepmother brought her daughter to our home, and a year later, she gave birth to a son..." Sheng Zexi narrated with a flat tone, seemingly indifferent and devoid of much emotion.
"...I am currently 25 years old, serving as a full-ranking battalion commander in the Northwest Military Region. My salary is 101 yuan, and if I go on missions, there will be allowances or bonuses. After marriage, this rank allows applying for a house at the family quarters; if the marriage succeeds, Ningning can accompany me."
Although Sheng Zexi had lived with the Gu Family for a while, at that time, the Gu Family members only knew he was a deputy battalion commander of the Northwest Military Region, not realizing he was now of full battalion status, a Beijing native with such a strong family background.
However, since his father remarried, bringing in a stepmother and having another son, as the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather; from Xixi's tone, it seemed the family relations weren't very good. So did the family know about Xixi's intention to arrange this meeting?
Yao Chunhua couldn't help but feel worried, "Xixi, does your father know about you arranging this meeting?"
Old Gu shared the same concern, "Yes, what if your father disagrees..."
Sheng Zexi quickly replied seriously, "Uncle, Aunt, you don't need to worry; arranging a meeting and getting married is my own affair. As long as I am willing, I can manage everything. My relationship with my family is indeed not very good. If I manage to get married, I won't let Ningning interact too much with them. I can protect Ningning well."
Gu Jia Ning recalled previous interactions and vaguely knew that Sheng Zexi's mother had passed away early, his relationship with his family wasn't particularly good. Hearing this situation and tone, it seemed worse than she had imagined.
But she didn't really mind.
After all, after marrying Sheng Zexi, she would accompany him on duty, without much interaction with the Sheng Family members.
Sheng Zexi: "There is also another matter..."
Sheng Zexi eventually disclosed that five years ago, he was injured in battle, resulting in infertility.
"...Doctors say my chances of impregnating a woman are only 1%."
Upon hearing this, not only was the matchmaker shocked, but even the Old Gu Family members fell silent.
Gu Jia Ning widened her almond eyes: ...I didn't know about this either.
Thinking of her possible infertility due to jumping into the river, and now Sheng Zexi's infertility, was there still a chance for them to have children?
[Host, don't worry, you still have me, I'm the Childbirth System.]
The mechanical voice in her mind pulled Gu Jia Ning's slightly worried thoughts back. She responded.
[As long as the host completes the rookie task, you can obtain the Pregnancy Holy Body Pill.]
Gu Jia Ning spared some attention to check the Childbirth System, which not only would fulfill her wish to have children but also cultivate her into a childbirth doctor, helping others who were initially infertile to have children.
[Rookie Task: Bind the first patient, treat them and help them conceive, reward: 100 points, Pregnancy Holy Body Pill.]
[Pregnancy Holy Body Pill: Consuming it can transform the body, adjusting it to a healthy state of 100% fertility.]
"System, you mean, by taking this pill, my infertility due to the river incident could be healed too?" Gu Jia Ning quietly asked the system in her mind.
[Yes, even if Sheng Zexi's chances of impregnating a woman are only 1%, the host can quickly become pregnant, and the host can also bind Sheng Zexi as a patient, learning treatment methods in the Divine Doctor Space; it's okay not to treat as well...]
The system's words instantly calmed Gu Jia Ning's heart.
So, the next step is to bind the first patient and cure their infertility or sterility.
The system said that once a patient is bound, the learning section in the Divine Doctor Space can be unlocked, patient information will be analyzed, and she can enter and receive tailored lessons from specialized teachers, earning points and rewards upon passing, opening up the points mall to exchange for anything.
Who to choose as her first patient?
"Ningning, come with mom for a moment." Yao Chunhua's call interrupted Gu Jia Ning's thoughts.
Yao Chunhua expressed the need to discuss something with her daughter, so she took hold of Gu Jia Ning's hand and returned to the room.
"Ningning, I never expected Xixi to have such a physical condition; why not call off the marriage." Before this, Yao Chunhua thought Sheng Zexi was excellent in every way, eager for her daughter to marry Sheng Zexi. But now, with Sheng Zexi's infertility, how could her daughter live without children?
"Mom, I plan to marry him." Gu Jia Ning didn't change her original decision, with the system's help, getting pregnant wouldn't be a problem, but she couldn't tell her mom about the system.
Gu Jia Ning reassured her, "Mom, you forgot I'm a medical professional from vocational school. My teacher, finding me likable, taught me an exclusive method to treat infertility. I believe I have a way to treat Brother Sheng's body, and anyway, it's only 1%, not 0. There's always a chance your daughter has good luck and gets pregnant. Besides, I also plan to find some time to treat my sister-in-law."
At this point, Gu Jia Ning had already decided to bind her sister-in-law Yang Manman as her first patient.
"Really?" Yao Chunhua was skeptical.
To be honest, she was sort of convinced, not discussing luck first, but her daughter was likable, her teacher might indeed teach her some skills.
Moreover, her daughter said she planned to treat her eldest son's wife; the old Gu's elder couple had been married for three years without children, which was a concern for Yao Chunhua and the couple.
Though she hadn't rushed them, both she and the couple were hoping they'd have children soon.
If Ningning could really use that exclusive method to treat infertility and treat her eldest daughter-in-law, then treating Xixi might also be possible.
Gu Jia Ning hugged her mother's arm, blinking her eyes coyly, "Mom, am I the kind of person who would lie to you? Besides, how important is the issue of children to us women? Could I possibly lie to you about that?"
"...Fine, alright then, have you decided?"
"I've decided!"
