Wen Xi didn't notice that what she had just used was his underwear to wipe the dust. She was dumbfounded for a moment. She was in a hurry to explain but was embarrassed and found it difficult to explain.
She felt that He Yan's eyes were very complicated, half-smiling but not smiling, and a little serious and doubtful. His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and if he didn't have a mask, the corners of his mouth might have been raised in a funny arc.
"Listen to my explanation."
"Don't be nervous, I won't eat you." He said, with a smile in his warm voice.
Wen Xi explained with a hot face, pointing to the "crime scene" and said: "There were mice jumping on your clothes just now. I moved faster and I just wanted to drive them away. I didn't notice that the thing thrown was your mobile phone..."
"Wen Xi, I told you, don't be nervous." He interrupted her with an obvious smile in his eyes.
When Wen Xi suddenly heard him calling her name, she was startled, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. It seemed that after he called her name, the relationship between the two people got closer in an instant.
She held the hem of her pants with her fingers, "I'll buy an identical mobile phone to give back to you when I get back."
"Only a mobile phone?" His tone was slightly raised.
"If you don't mind my taste, I can compensate you with the pants." Wen Xi glanced at him secretly, and then quickly moved away.
There was a brief silence in the air.
"When will the family come to pick her up?" He changed the topic and did not continue to tease her.
Wen Xi's eyes dimmed a little, "After the ZH virus disappears."
Under the mask, there was a bitter self-deprecating smile on her lips.
Noticing the girl's depressed mood and the small movement of covering her eyes as she didn't want to be noticed, He Yan silently looked away.
"Someone will bring food to you later. You can stay here for one night and someone will pick you up tomorrow."
"who?"
"Uncle the soldier."
The words that sounded a bit joking made Wen Xi suddenly smile and asked him, "Then, before the soldier uncle comes, can I witness the improvement of those patients with my own eyes?"
Potentially, she wanted him to use her vaccine development program. After all, she is nothing in the medical field now, and He Yan has no reason to trust her.
He Yan looked down at her delicate features and said something that surprised her: "If it is you who researched the plan, then you are a natural candidate to study medicine."
Listening to this, he approved of the vaccine plan. Wen Xi was happy for those patients. If the vaccine is developed earlier, more people can be saved.
She also heard that He Yan's words must mean that he didn't fully believe in the plan she had researched. In order to dispel his concerns, she had no choice but to talk about it.
"My teacher researched it." She joked.
In fact, this vaccine was developed by a medical team nine months later. Currently, they should be conducting experiments non-stop.
Although it's wrong to steal their achievements, as long as it can save people, it doesn't matter so much.
"Can I tell you the name of your teacher?"
Wen Xi recalled lines from a certain TV series and said, "He has a weird personality and doesn't want to have contact with too many people, so it's not convenient to tell him."
He Yan nodded, asked no more questions, and said, "Sit down for a while. Someone will bring you food later. If you are bored, there are books there to read."
"Then you won't eat?"
"I'm with them."
"Then I'll do it too." She smiled.
He Yan didn't say anything, turned around and walked out. Wen Xi followed him, and with her height of 1.68 meters, she looked like a little bird in front of the man.
This feeling was quite novel. It seemed that no one had ever given her this feeling before. Vaguely, akin to a sense of security.
Wen Xi proposed to have dinner with him for her own selfish reasons—she wanted to see him up close and satisfy her curiosity.
Unfortunately, as soon as I walked out of the back door, the nurse delivered a lunch box.
"Since it's been delivered, you can eat it inside. It's safer this way." He Yan said.
Wen Xi was a little disappointed, but he didn't refuse. The food is already here. If you insist on following us, it will make people think too much.
That night, Wen Xi lay on his bed and slept, while he was still outside taking care of the patients.
The bedding smelled very fresh, as if it had never been used. She thought, maybe it was because he had been here for so many days and there really wasn't much time to lie down and sleep.
From time to time, busy footsteps and hoarse shouts of patients could be heard outside. Accompanying these were the voices of doctors, nurses and the Lord of Hell racing against time.
Wen Xi couldn't sleep peacefully listening to these sounds, but she was an injured person and wanted to help but was powerless.
I don't know how long it took, when she was drowsy, she suddenly heard steady footsteps entering the room, then the sound of the door being closed, the sound of mats being spread on the ground, and then the sound of people lying on them.
These sounds are very soft, reflecting the thoughtfulness of a doctor, or in other words, this man.
Every nerve in Wen Xi's body slowly relaxed, and he finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
When he woke up the next day, He Yan was no longer in the room. The mats used last night were neatly placed in their original places, as if they had not been used.
Thinking of He Yan's words yesterday, she didn't delay and immediately got out of bed to wash up.
After breakfast, He Yan came in personally and asked her to get out.
"Uncle the soldier is here?" She smiled at him under the mask.
"Yes, here we come. How is your leg injury? Can you walk?"
Wen Xi moved his legs and feet, "No problem."
"Then I won't hug you."
Wen Xi's face heated up, thinking that he didn't ask for a hug in the first place.
The man's eyes were stern, without any discomfort at all, just like a doctor looking at a patient.
After following him out, several soldiers walked towards him. The leader made a military salute to He Yan neatly.
He Yan nodded slightly and turned to look at Wen Xi, "You get in the car first."
Wen Xi said hello, walked over and climbed into the truck with the help of his military comrades and sat down.
She looked at He Yan. The leader of the soldiers did not know what he was saying to He Yan, and his eyes were filled with respect for He Yan.
There was a sense of respect in her heart. Doctors and soldiers are always two professions worthy of everyone's respect.
Before turning around, the soldier gave He Yan a standard military salute as a farewell.
A few minutes later, Wen Xi followed Junka and left the town. She saw He Yan's straight figure getting further and further away, and felt a trace of reluctance in her heart.
It's really strange, but we only spent a day together.
She smiled lightly and did not deliberately think about the source of this reluctance.
Haha, this chapter has 1,900 words, which is nearly 2,000. It’s long enough. Usually it’s 1,111 words.
