Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1803: Chapter 1802: Calling for Help

The wedding continued, and An Hao withdrew her gaze.

A wedding with strangers met by chance was not worth her effort to delve into. Perhaps the other person was just lost in thought, and their gaze unintentionally fell on her.

The small ceremony ended, and the wedding banquet began.

Cang Lang picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating. After just two bites, a server walked past him and handed him a note.

He slowly unfolded the note, which had a line of words written on it: Blood Rose has arrived at the ’battlefield.’ The plan has been set in motion.

Cang Lang smiled, tucked the note into his pocket, and stood up. Without bidding farewell to anyone, he headed toward the door. Hou Zicheng noticed and immediately chased after him: ”Boss, where are you going?”

”Leaving.” Cang Lang replied, glancing at him. ”The plan has already begun. If you’re needed, please cooperate fully!”

”Got it.” Hou Zicheng nodded. ”Then... Boss, goodbye!”

The banquet continued, and Tian Niu was diligently carrying out the tasks Gu Shuangshuang had assigned to him.

Meanwhile, back at home, Gu Shuangshuang’s situation seemed far from good.

Although there’s usually a certain amount of time between spotting blood, water breaking, contractions, and childbirth—she, as a medical student, understood this—a surprising turn began to unfold. Not long after spotting blood, her water broke.

When a rush of warm liquid ran down her legs, she panicked.

Contractions and water breaking—they were signs that labor was imminent.

Being pregnant and giving birth for the first time, she had no experience at all. If she had to face this alone at home, she might encounter danger.

Everyone at home had gone out, leaving her completely alone—it was difficult even to seek help.

Gu Shuangshuang roughly calculated the distance. From the military district compound to the affiliated hospital, it wasn’t exactly close. If she relied only on herself, she likely wouldn’t make it.

She needed to seek help.

Gu Shuangshuang grabbed her packed belongings, changed her clothes, and headed out the door.

As long as she could find someone driving, she planned to flag down a car.

But she forgot that walking after the water breaking could be dangerous for the baby. Luckily, the loss of amniotic fluid wasn’t too severe.

She was focused on not wasting time, just wanting to get outside as soon as possible.

This was the military district compound. If a military wife needed help, there would definitely be someone willing to stop their car.

Gu Shuangshuang clutched her stomach, struggling down the stairs. Perhaps the timing wasn’t right—on this road, not only were there no cars, but there wasn’t even a single person in sight.

The contractions grew more frequent, and Gu Shuangshuang felt a heavy descent in her abdomen. Her waist ached, and her entire lower back throbbed in pain—a pain so intense that it became unbearable.

Helpless, she had no choice but to lean against a roadside tree, painfully calling out for help: ”Is anyone there? Please help me!”

Gan Tian and Lin Miao had finished their tasks. After completing the shift handover, the two female soldiers began walking back.

All the way back, Gan Tian appeared troubled.

The soft, coquettish voice she heard on the phone kept echoing in her ears. She desperately wanted to know what kind of woman the wife of Captain Tian really was.

A young girl caught in the throes of infatuation often has these thoughts—unable to control herself, she constantly compares herself to the woman her beloved cares for.

Gan Tian was no exception.

She wanted to see for herself whether Captain Tian’s wife was better than her, or whether she herself measured up.

”Tiantian, listen to me. Even if you compare yourself to her and manage to determine who’s better—then what? If she’s better than you, will you give up? If you’re better than her, won’t you be even less willing to let go?”
