As long as it helped improve their medical skills, they didn’t care if their mentor was Gu Jianing, a young girl, or even a little child. As long as she had real ability, they were willing to humbly seek her guidance.
This made Gu Jianing stand out conspicuously among her training class peers.
Moreover, in every assessment, she was always ranked first.
The other students in the training class admired her, but as for jealousy…
Heh. If Gu Jianing were only slightly better than them, perhaps they would feel envious. But she was so much more capable—so much so that even the instructors sometimes sought her advice and discussed problems with her. What was there to be jealous of?
The gap was simply too vast. It was impossible to even feel jealous.
It was like the difference between an ordinary person and a genius. No matter how hard an ordinary person worked, they could never match a true genius. They couldn’t even come close. So, what was the point of jealousy? It became meaningless.
Peng Wenjing was also in this training class.
At first, when Gu Jianing saw Peng Wenjing and remembered her feelings for her husband, she thought Peng Wenjing might try to make things difficult for her or cause trouble.
But unexpectedly, Peng Wenjing avoided her entirely. Not only did she not provoke her, but she didn’t even speak to her.
Gu Jianing mused: Well then, it seems brother Xi’s troublesome admirer requires no intervention from me
Since Peng Wenjing didn’t actively pick a fight, Gu Jianing had no intention of bothering with her either.
After all, she was here to attend classes and earn her certification.
What Gu Jianing didn’t know was that ever since Peng Wenjing had witnessed how the hospital’s director and doctors respected Gu Jianing—and later learned from Dr. Hao about her generosity in sharing two medical formulas—she could no longer hold any hostility toward her.
At first, she had thought Gu Jianing was a scheming woman who had trapped Sheng Zexi, a worthless country girl with nothing to her name.
That was why she had felt so resentful.
But after witnessing Gu Jianing’s true abilities and seeing how much Sheng Zexi adored her—on top of the fact that she was stunningly beautiful, seemingly flawless in every way—Peng Wenjing realized that if she were a man, she too might have fallen for her. Let alone Sheng Zexi.
Moreover, recently, Peng Wenjing had noticed that this woman seemed to be getting even more beautiful by the day.
She couldn’t help but wonder how Gu Jianing managed to maintain such fair, smooth, and flawless skin. Her complexion was so pale it almost glowed, and she wasn’t even wearing makeup. Purely natural, yet so breathtakingly attractive.
And that wasn’t all—her figure was incredible.
One day, when the weather got a little warmer, Gu Jianing took off her coat, revealing the body underneath.
It was truly… a spectacular sight. A full, curvaceous front, a slender waist, and a round, shapely figure from behind.
Peng Wenjing nearly cried with envy just looking at her. It wasn’t just her—every woman in the class felt the same.
Not only that, but if one got close enough, they could faintly catch a delicate fragrance from Gu Jianing.
It wasn’t overpowering—just a subtle, lingering scent that was incredibly pleasant and intoxicating.
Even her voice was beautiful—soft, sweet, and melodious, like a golden oriole singing, enchanting to the ear.
Really, who wouldn’t love a woman this perfect?
With her formidable skills, goddess-like figure, and celestial beauty – ten Peng Wenjings combined couldn’t hope to compare.
Thus, Peng Wenjing completely gave up on Sheng Zexi. Instead, she even felt a hint of envy—after all, he had such a perfect woman like Gu Jianing.
So, Peng Wenjing admitted defeat.
Now that she no longer harbored feelings for Sheng Zexi, she finally agreed to go on blind dates. After all, she wasn’t getting any younger.
As soon as the dismissal bell rang, Peng Wenjing walked out of the classroom and immediately saw a tall, handsome man approaching in the heavy snow, holding an umbrella.
“Battalion Commander Sheng is here to pick up Comrade Gu again. He never misses a single day.”
“I’m so jealous. My man wouldn’t bother to come pick me up.”
“They say Battalion Commander Sheng used to be a troublemaker, but look at him now—completely tamed by Jianing.”
“Honestly, standing together like that, they really are a perfect couple.”
Gu Jianing didn’t hear the hushed conversations around her. She had already reached Sheng Zexi’s side, nestled under his umbrella, her bright eyes gazing at him.
“Do you want to go soak in the hot springs?” Sheng Zexi suggested.
Gu Jianing’s eyes instantly lit up. “Yes, I want to go!”
If there was one thing she looked forward to most in winter, it was soaking in the hot springs.
The cold weather made it difficult for her to bathe regularly, forcing her to settle for quick wipe-downs.
But in the hot springs, she could not only soak in warmth but also take a proper bath and wash her hair.
Every time she finished, she felt utterly refreshed.
“Brother Xi, let’s hurry and go.”
“Alright.”
Although heavy snow had sealed off the mountains, there were always occasional clear days—today was one of them. That’s why Sheng Zexi suggested taking her to the hot springs. On other days, he wouldn’t dare, fearing she might catch a chill.
They pushed aside the rocks and entered the cave. The sight of the steaming hot spring made Gu Jianing’s delicate face light up with joy.
The rising steam warmed the cave, making the temperature quite comfortable.
As soon as they arrived, Gu Jianing eagerly began undressing.
The first time they had come here, they hadn’t yet consummated their marriage. Back then, they had been somewhat shy, even soaking in separate pools.
Sheng Zexi had even kept his back turned the entire time.
But now…
They had long since shared their nights in perfect harmony. The initial shyness and hesitation were gone.
And so, they entered the hot spring together.
As Gu Jianing submerged herself in the warm water, she felt enveloped in heat, her entire body relaxing in pure comfort.
Unconsciously, she closed her eyes, savoring the sensation.
Beside her, Sheng Zexi was also soaking in the water—but his focus was entirely on Gu Jianing.
His gaze seemed glued to her, unable to look away.
Even though they were now truly husband and wife, their moments of intimacy had always been at night.
At night, even if there was light, it was only the dim glow of a kerosene lamp. More often than not, there was no lamp at all—only the faint moonlight filtering through the window.
So, although he had felt her body countless times, seeing it was a completely different experience.
Now, even though it was afternoon, daylight streamed through the opening above the cave, illuminating the space.
For the first time, Sheng Zexi could clearly see his wife soaking in the hot spring.
Even with the steam rising around her, his sharp eyes could make out every detail.
A thought crossed his mind—if they had children in the future, not just one but perhaps even two at once, those children certainly wouldn’t go hungry.
As Gu Jianing luxuriated in the warmth with her eyes closed, she suddenly heard the sound of rapid breathing beside her.
