After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

On his first day in the hospital, Jiang Chengzhou was devastated when he heard that Shen Man was going to give him an injection in his buttocks.

"Um..." Jiang Chengzhou swallowed hard, "Could you get someone else to call me? A different man?"

Shen Man deftly pried open the medicine bottle, drew the medicine into the syringe, and then expelled the air. "I'm your attending physician. It's just me here. Take your pants off."

Jiang Chengzhou gripped his belt tightly, his eyes fixed on the syringe in her hand, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Shen Man, are you a devil?"

Shen Man suppressed a smile. "Jiang Chengzhou, don't be so dramatic, you're a grown man. I'm not going to eat you. It's just a shot, hurry up!"

Jiang Chengzhou remained motionless, his hand gripping his belt tightly.

Shen Man waited for a moment, then grew impatient and reached out to pull down his pants at the side.

"you!"

"Don't move!"

Shen Man wiped the area with an alcohol swab, then inserted the needle tip quickly and steadily, finishing in just a few seconds.

"alright."

Jiang Chengzhou slowly pulled up his pants with his uninjured hand, his exposed earlobes turning bright red.

Shen Man found it amusing. "Jiang Chengzhou, I'm a doctor."

Jiang Chengzhou pointed to the door and said, "You just wait, I'm going to file a complaint against you."

Shen Man laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to complain about me. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll add something extra for you."

"casual."

Jiang Chengzhou stared at the ceiling, feeling utterly hopeless.

"Then have some brown sugar glutinous rice, and I'll make you some pickled vegetable and potato soup."

After finishing her sentence, Shen Man left the ward with a smile.

Jiang Chengzhou slammed his fist on the bed in anger, "Damn it, they're bullying me!"

There was no more noise outside. Jiang Chengzhou lay on the hospital bed, covering his face with one hand, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Shen Man was still very busy, but she ate every meal with Jiang Chengzhou after that.

Despite Jiang Chengzhou's repeated insistence that he could eat at the cafeteria by himself, Shen Man still wouldn't listen, saying she wanted to repay his life-saving grace.

Rumors about their relationship spread throughout the hospital, with everyone saying that Dr. Shen was pursuing Jiang Chengzhou.

When Jiang Chengzhou went out to get hot water, he heard people talking about Shen Man.

"I heard that Company Commander Chen is pursuing a doctor at the hospital; she's really beautiful."

"I know, it's that Dr. Shen. But it seems she has a boyfriend and is also hospitalized."

"Really? Does Company Commander Chen know about this?"

"Who knows? Anyway, Company Commander Chen goes to the hospital every day..."

Jiang Chengzhou didn't listen any further and took the thermos back to his ward.

During lunch, Jiang Chengzhou suddenly said, "Shen Man, you're getting on in years, shouldn't you be dating someone?"

Shen Man's smile vanished instantly. "Jiang Chengzhou, I'm three months younger than you."

"Oh, really?" Jiang Chengzhou took a bite of rice, swallowed it, and then asked, "Is anyone pursuing you?"

Shen Man gripped her chopsticks tightly. "Yes."

Jiang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't date men in the military, it's not a good idea."

"Why?" Shen Man looked up at him.

Jiang Chengzhou felt a little flustered under her gaze. "Just listen to me. Don't agree to anything related to Company Commander Chen or Battalion Commander Chen. Go back to the capital and find a partner later."

Shen Man picked up a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth. "So what kind of person do you think would suit me?"

"Soldiers won't do, it's too dangerous. Doctors aren't really suitable either, they're too busy to take care of their families. As for others... I don't know."

Jiang Chengzhou grew increasingly irritated as he spoke, picking at a piece of food with disdain. "Why is the food so salty today? Did the cafeteria beat the salt seller to death?"

Shen Man lowered her eyes and said softly, "But I just like being a soldier."

"What?" Jiang Chengzhou looked up at her, asking in rapid succession, "That Chen Company Commander? How old is he? What does he look like? Which regiment is he in?"

Shen Man looked at this idiot and said irritably, "What's it to you? Eat your food!"

Jiang Chengzhou poked the bowl with his chopsticks. "If you're looking for someone in the military, I'll tell your parents."

Shen Man didn't even look up. "Go ahead, it's up to you."

"Hey!" Jiang Chengzhou glared at her. "You don't know how to appreciate kindness. You'll learn your lesson when you suffer the consequences."

Shen Man sneered, "Is that so? Then I'll wait."

Jiang Chengzhou suddenly sensed something was wrong and said ingratiatingly, "Are you alright? Are you angry? It's my fault. I spoke without thinking and talked nonsense. Dr. Shen, Doctor Shen, Sister Manman, please forgive me this once?"

Shen Man remained silent, focusing solely on her meal.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengzhou fell silent and said nothing more.

After finishing her meal, Shen Man cleared away the plates and took the bowls and chopsticks outside.

Jiang Chengzhou walked to the window and sighed.

He was certainly aware of Shen Man's change in attitude towards him.

But he didn't dare, nor did he want to, break the ice.

He grew up with his uncle.

For the first two years before his aunt came, he was a wild child and no one cared for him.

Yan Yuan has no parents, but he has a grandfather.

Jiang Chengzhou only has an uncle.

He was very averse to the capital at that time and wanted to stay on the island with his uncle.

Every time his uncle went on a mission, he was terrified, afraid that his uncle would never come back.

Later, his aunt came, and he began to understand the concept of home.

My aunt is very, very good, but in the early years when my uncle often had to go to sea, she had to take care of their two children in addition to her work.

Looking back now, that period seems both happy and fleeting.

But Jiang Chengzhou still remembers the times when his aunt stayed up all night with him and his sister during every typhoon and flood.

Another year, he and his sister both caught the flu.

He had a high fever, and his sister also suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

He's doing well; he can take his medicine on his own.

My younger sister is young and feeling unwell, so she refused to take her medicine. My aunt had to hold her and force-feed her, but she would vomit it up after drinking it.

After the commotion, both my sister and aunt were covered in sweat.

Jiang Chengzhou thought to himself, "If only my uncle were home."

He admired Su Lang, but at times he also harbored some resentment towards him.

His aunt was more open-minded than him, saying that since she had become a military wife, she had to accept the reality of being apart from her husband for long periods of time and that she might have to shoulder the responsibilities that both her parents should have for a long time.

Jiang Chengzhou couldn't figure it out. He didn't blame his uncle, but he also didn't have the courage to let another person be like his aunt.

Besides, it's someone I like.

The next day, Jiang Chengzhou applied for discharge from the hospital.

Shen Man flipped through his medical record. "You have a radial fracture with good alignment, but the cast won't be removed for at least a month and a half, and you'll need to rest for two to three months before you can resume normal activities."

"It's alright," Jiang Chengzhou said. "I've been lying here every day, I'm practically crippled. Can I go back to the unit first and come back when I need my cast removed?"

Shen Man looked up at him, her hands rummaging in her pockets where he couldn't see, creating wrinkles. "No, we have to stay for at least another week."

"Dr. Shen, could you please make an exception?" Jiang Chengzhou said with a grin.
