The two played for two or three hours. They could sense the movements outside the space. Since no one came to the house, they cooked a meal in the villa. Afterward, they continued to stay in the space, either wandering around or going back to the room to make love. At night, the two still slept in the space.

The next day, as soon as Lin Qingyan arrived at work, the dean called her into his office.

"Dr. Lin, I have good news to tell you. The hemostatic drug formula that you developed and donated free of charge has been recognized by our Ministry of Health as the designated hemostatic drug for soldiers in the national armed forces. You can say that you have made a great contribution to our country."

In addition, given your discovery of the novel infectious disease, you have been recognized as a nationally outstanding youth and are eligible to receive an award at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. You might even be personally received and awarded by the leader.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan immediately became excited.

This is incredibly good news for her.

She never imagined that she would be able to go to the Great Hall of the People in the capital and be personally received by the leader.

The hospital director handed her a certificate of being named a "National Outstanding Youth" and an invitation to the commendation ceremony. "Dr. Lin, you are the first doctor in our hospital to receive this honor and be able to go to the Great Hall of the People in the capital to be commended. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Dean."

The hospital director added, "Go home and pack your things. We'll set off in two days. Dr. Lin, this time our entire hospital is proud of you. You are the pride of our entire military region hospital."

"It is the country's kindness that has shown me favor. I will definitely work harder in the future and strive to make greater contributions."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Rest at home and get ready. The military has already bought you a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow, so you can leave first thing in the morning. By the way, they should also assign you a bodyguard. As for who that bodyguard is, I don't know yet. But you'll definitely find out when you leave."

"Okay." Lin Qingyan then thought of her own injury, Feng Yidong.

"Dean, I need to ask you for help again. I'll bring two more bottles of ointment this afternoon."

The hospital director waved his hand: "What do you mean by begging? All the patients in this hospital are my patients. Don't worry, I will change his dressings carefully and on time."

"Yes, Dean."

As Lin Qingyan left the dean's office, she was overjoyed but also wondering who the bodyguard assigned to her by the military was.

Then, as usual, I went to Feng Yidong's ward and told him.

He is still blind, so we need to make sure he knows who is changing his dressings.

In another office, the division commander said to Lu Zhengting, who was standing straight across from his desk, "Comrade Lin is going to Beijing to receive an award in a couple of days. Her personal safety is very important. After discussion, we have decided to send you to be her bodyguard. I bet you'll be more than happy to do so."

The rough-looking man immediately smirked, "Of course, she's my wife, so it's most suitable for me to be her bodyguard."

"It's not just because of your relationship, but also because you're more capable than anyone else. Of course, if you weren't a couple, the military would consider assigning her a female bodyguard. But right now, you're the most suitable."

Lu Zhengting saluted his division commander and said, "Reporting to the commander, I guarantee the mission will be completed."

After getting off work, Lin Qingyan pushed her bicycle out of the hospital and saw Lu Zhengting as soon as she stepped out.

The man smiled, with a gentle, spring-like demeanor. She suddenly realized that the bodyguard the army had assigned to her might be him.

If that's true, she'll have to thank the military for their thoughtfulness in her heart.

Lu Zhengting walked up to her: "Comrade Lin Qingyan, your bodyguard is here."

Lin Qingyan burst out laughing.

"I was just guessing it might be you, and it really is you. The army sent you to be my bodyguard, that's quite thoughtful of them."

"That's right, no one is more suitable than me. Not only am I considerate, but I can also provide personal service to my wife."

Lin Qingyan immediately glanced to her side. "Luckily, no one heard us. We're outside, so please don't say things like that."

Lu Zhengting took the bicycle and let Lin Qingyan sit on it. Lin Qingyan didn't want to show off to anyone right now, so she let Lu Zhengting get on the bicycle first, and then sat on the back seat herself.

After riding for a while, Lu Zhengting saw Dong Yue first. He knew that his wife and Dong Yue were avoiding each other, so he didn't bother to greet Dong Yue and planned to just ride past him without paying any attention to each other.

Just as he had expected, Dong Yue didn't seem inclined to speak after seeing them. He was chatting with a woman by the roadside, glanced at them, and then turned his head away.

Lu Zhengting only glanced at Dong Yue before continuing to look straight ahead.

But he hadn't gone far when Lin Qingyan called for him to stop.

"Stop the car, stop the car, Zheng Ting."

Lu Zhengting slammed on the brakes and used his long legs to brace the car.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingyan looked in the direction of Dong Yue and Xu Xinning before getting out of the car.

Because she thought of something.

When she first met Xu Xinning outside the military region, Xu Xinning said he was there to visit his third brother. So, is Dong Yue his third brother?

If Dong Yue is indeed Xu Xinning's third brother, and Xu Xinning won't tell her where she lives, she can ask Dong Yue for directions so she can visit Grandma Lin at their home.

She said to Lu Zhengting, "Zhengting, I know them all. Go over and say a few words to them."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

He pushed the bike beside her, walking together toward Dong Yue and Xu Xinning.

"Comrade Dong, Dr. Xu."

Xu Xinning saw Lin Qingyan walk past earlier and thought she wouldn't come looking for Dong Yue, but she stopped again. So who was she looking for?

It wouldn't be good if they came looking for Dong Yue again.

Dong Yue was a little embarrassed and didn't speak. Xu Xinning then said to Lin Qingyan, "Dr. Lin, you're here to see me, right? Can we talk about it when we get back to the hospital this afternoon? I'm going to have lunch with my third brother in the cafeteria, so I might not be able to talk to you about anything important."

She immediately said to Dong Yue, "Third Brother, let's go."

"good."

Dong Yue turned to leave with him, but Lin Qingyan stopped him: "Comrade Dong Yue, Zheng Ting is here, you don't need to do this, others won't misunderstand us."

Dong Yue then took a deep breath. In fact, he didn't want to be a stranger to her either; on the contrary, he really enjoyed being with her.

He turned around and said to Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting, "That's true. Since you two are here, no one else can say anything if they see it."

Lin Qingyan said, "I saw you chatting with Dr. Xu. Dr. Xu mentioned before that her third brother is a military officer here. I wonder if it was you?"

Dong Yue immediately smiled and said, "It's me, it's definitely me."

"Then Granny Lin is your grandmother."
