Chapter 23: Human Experiments in the Daily Life 7
Half a year later, Zhao Aiguo had an accident during a training session, which resulted in leg disability and he had to retire early and go home.
When Su Momo heard the news, she was stunned and could not believe her ears.
"How is this possible? He is so powerful, how could he be injured?" Su Momo muttered to herself.
In his previous life, he had become a leader-level figure. How could such a thing happen in this life? I had never heard of him being injured in his previous life.
She hurriedly packed her things and prepared to go visit Zhao Aiguo.
When she rushed to the hospital where Zhao Aiguo was, she saw Zhao Aiguo lying on the bed, his face pale, with thick bandages wrapped around his legs. Su Momo couldn't help but shed tears.
"Aiguo, how are you? How could this happen?" Su Momo rushed to the bed, held Zhao Aiguo's hand and asked.
Zhao Aiguo saw Su Momo coming and forced a smile, "Momo, you're here."
"I'm fine, just injured. I'll be fine after some rest." Zhao Aiguo comforted.
Su Momo knew that the injury must be serious, otherwise Zhao Aiguo would not have retired early.
She was worried and sad, and could only stay with Zhao Aiguo silently and take care of him.
Zhao Yaya and Wang Cuihua also learned the news about Zhao Aiguo and rushed to the hospital.
Seeing Zhao Aiguo's appearance, both of them couldn't help but shed tears.
"Aiguo, what happened to you? How did you get injured so badly?" Wang Cuihua asked crying.
Zhao Yaya also looked at Zhao Aiguo with a worried look on her face, "Brother, you must get better, we are still waiting for you to come back."
Zhao Aiguo felt uncomfortable when he saw the two people's worried expressions.
He knew he had made his family worry, but he didn't want to make them too sad.
So he pulled himself together and said, "Mom, Yaya, stop crying. I'm really fine."
"The doctor said that as long as you rest well, you will recover soon."
Su Momo was also comforting the two of them, "Yes, Mom, Yaya, don't worry, I will take good care of Aiguo."
Under Su Momo's careful care, Zhao Aiguo's injuries gradually improved.
However, his legs could no longer walk as freely as before.
The doctor told him that the nerves in his legs were damaged and that even with rehabilitation training, it would be difficult for him to return to his previous condition.
This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhao Aiguo.
He has always been a strong person, but now he has become a disabled person, which he cannot accept.
He began to become silent and lay in bed in a daze all day.
Su Momo saw it all and felt pain in her heart. At the same time, she also felt confused about the future. Shouldn't she live a life of superiority after her rebirth?
She knew that Zhao Aiguo needed time to accept this fact, but she couldn't bear to see him so depressed.
So she began to encourage Zhao Aiguo to undergo rehabilitation training, hoping that he could stand up again.
However, Zhao Aiguo did not appreciate it.
He felt that Su Momo was pitying him and giving him alms.
He started to lose his temper with Su Momo and sometimes even hit her.
Although Su Momo felt aggrieved, she did not leave Zhao Aiguo.
She knew that Zhao Aiguo needed her now, needed her support and encouragement. What if he got better and turned the tide in the future?
She silently endured Zhao Aiguo's temper and continued to take care of him.
However, as time went on, Zhao Aiguo's temper became more and more irritable, and he became more and more harsh towards Su Momo.
He began to complain about Su Momo's cooking, saying that it was not tasty and that she was not gentle and considerate enough.
Su Momo began to feel exhausted and she didn't know how long she could hold on.
Finally one day, Zhao Aiguo got furious with Su Momo again over a trivial matter.
Su Momo couldn't stand it anymore. She cried and said, "Zhao Aiguo, do you think I'm a fool and let you bully me?"
"I married you because I liked you and because I thought you were a responsible man."
"But what about you now? What has become of you? Not only are you sinking deeper and deeper into depression, but you're also dragging me down with you?"
Zhao Aiguo was stunned when he heard Su Momo's words.
He looked at Su Momo's crying face and suddenly felt guilty.
He knew he was wrong and he felt sorry for Su Momo.
He reached out to hug Su Momo, but she pushed him away.
"Don't touch me!" Su Momo shouted, "I don't want to see you now!"
After saying that, she turned and left the room.
Zhao Aiguo looked at Su Momo's departing back, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.
He knew that he had lost Su Momo's trust and love, but he didn't know how to get it back.
He began to reflect on his behavior and worked hard to change himself.
He no longer lost his temper with Su Momo, nor did he find fault with her.
He began to actively cooperate with rehabilitation training and worked hard to get himself back on his feet.
When Su Momo saw the change in Zhao Aiguo, her heart gradually softened.
She knew that Zhao Aiguo was trying to save their relationship and to make himself a better person.
So she began to try to accept Zhao Aiguo again.
The relationship between the two began to slowly repair. Although there were still some cracks, at least they were trying.
As time went by, Zhao Aiguo's injuries gradually improved.
Although his legs still cannot move as freely as before, he can now stand up on his own and even take a few steps.
All this is inseparable from Su Momo’s encouragement and support.
Zhao Aiguo's heart was filled with gratitude and guilt. He knew that he owed Su Momo too much.
So he decided to spend the rest of his life making up for what he owed her.
He began to become more gentle and considerate, and took good care of Su Momo.
Su Momo also felt the change in Zhao Aiguo, and she knew that Zhao Aiguo was really trying to save their relationship.
Su Momo's feelings for Zhao Aiguo were like the tender buds of early spring, once green and full of hope, but gradually withering in the cold wind of winter.
In her heart, she still retained a deep affection for Zhao Aiguo, but this affection was obscured by her desire for the future and the temptation of a superior life.
Although Zhao Aiguo worked hard to recover, the severity of his injuries made it difficult for him to walk. Every time he tried to walk, he would sweat profusely and show a painful expression on his face.
Su Momo saw it all, but she felt mixed emotions. She felt sorry for Zhao Aiguo's pain, and was confused and uneasy about the future.
She began to look frequently in the direction of the cowshed, where a scientist named Qian Tianjie was imprisoned.
In his previous life, Qian Tianjie was rehabilitated soon after, and later became famous and became a pillar of the country.
Su Momo knew that Qian Tianjie's future was full of light. If she could get to know him, perhaps her fate would change.
So, Su Momo began to create opportunities to meet Qian Tianjie intentionally or unintentionally.
Whenever someone passed by the cowshed, she would pretend to glance over there casually.
If she met Qian Tianjie, she would smile and nod, or greet him softly.
Although Qian Tianjie was in a difficult situation, his temperament was still elegant. Although he was a little surprised by Su Momo's kindness, he did not refuse.
The two began to have more interactions, and Su Momo took this opportunity to ask Qian Tianjie many questions about science.
Zhao Aiguo noticed the change in Su Momo. When he saw the smile on Su Momo's face when she walked with Qian Tianjie, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable jealousy in his heart.
He began to doubt whether Su Momo's feelings for him were still as deep as before.
However, he did not question Su Momo directly, but chose to observe silently.
He knew that his current situation was indeed worrying, but he also believed that Su Momo's feelings for him would not change so easily.
However, as time went on, Su Momo paid more and more attention to Qian Tianjie, and even began to actively invite him to her home.
When Zhao Aiguo saw this, he became even more jealous. He began to wonder if Su Momo had other ideas.
Finally one day, Zhao Aiguo couldn't help asking Su Momo: "Momo, why are you always with Qian Tianjie recently? Do you have any feelings for him?"
Su Momo was stunned by Zhao Aiguo's question, and then said with some displeasure: "How can you say that? I just think Qian Tianjie is a very talented person, and I want to know more about him."
"Know him? Then why did you invite him to your home?" Zhao Aiguo asked.
"I just want him to see our home and let him know that we are not living badly." Su Momo explained.
However, Zhao Aiguo did not believe Su Momo's explanation.
He felt that Su Momo had begun to dislike him and started looking for new support.
He was filled with disappointment and pain, but he didn't know how to express his feelings.
Su Momo also felt Zhao Aiguo's emotional changes, but she didn't care too much.
She felt that Zhao Aiguo had misunderstood her because of her recent attention to Qian Tianjie, and everything would be fine as long as he explained it clearly.
However, she did not realize that subtle changes had taken place in her heart.
She began to feel confused and uneasy about Zhao Aiguo's future, and began to doubt whether her choice was correct.
Qian Tianjie also noticed the subtle relationship between Su Momo and Zhao Aiguo, and began to avoid Su Momo silently.
