Chapter 162 I've Only Loved You in This Life

Around noon, Jiang Feiyan went to the town's armed forces department.

This trip to Shanghai took about 10 days. I took such a long leave, so I had to let Captain Wang and the others know when I got back.

Jiang Feiyan specially prepared a large bag of nougat milk candy, as well as snacks such as melon seeds and dried fruit, to share with everyone.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the Armed Forces Department, the old man in the gatehouse poked his head out with a smile:

"Comrade Jiang, you're back! It seems Dr. Jiang will be happy!"

"Here, grandpa, have some snacks." Jiang Feiyan smiled, grabbed a few milk candies, and gave him some dried fruit, then asked, "Has Dr. Jiang come to see me these past few days?"

"Oh, thank you." The old man took the item, smiling and nodding.

"Yes, that young man is very diligent; he's come several times in the last two or three days."

Now that you're back, why don't you go see him later?

Jiang Feiyan: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."

At this moment, the militiamen from the armed forces department had just returned from the countryside, and a group of them were noisily preparing to go for lunch.

When Jiang Feiyan returned, everyone happily gathered around her, asking her all sorts of questions about her participation in the Shanghai Expo.

Jiang Feiyan first shared the snacks with everyone, and then told them a few interesting stories.

The group listened intently while snacking, their laughter filling the air.

If it weren't for Team Leader Wang urging everyone to go have lunch so they could work in the afternoon, no one would have wanted to leave.

Team leader Wang said, "Let's go, Feiyan, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch!"

Jiang Feiyan smiled and declined, "No, I have something to do. I'll come back when I'm at work tomorrow."

Someone chuckled and said, "I know you're going to see so-and-so, aren't you?"

Several single young men in the armed forces department, having submitted to Jiang Feiyan's domineering presence, had long since given up on any other ideas.

But they were quite eager to watch the excitement and gossip, their eyes gleaming.

“Yes.” Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow, not lying.

Anyway, it's no secret in the Armed Forces Department that Jiang Xun often comes to see her.

The others laughed and said, "Alright, hurry up and go, we won't bother you anymore, haha."

"Okay, everyone, see you tomorrow~" Jiang Feiyan smiled and left.

On the other side, the town clinic.

In the bright office.

A handsome man in a white coat sat quietly in a chair.

Her long, slender fingers were lost in thought, holding a paper airplane.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if deep in thought.

Today is the eleventh day.

Jiang Yatou... hasn't come back yet.

For some reason, he didn't feel anything when he saw them before.

But as soon as she left, he suddenly felt a huge emptiness in his heart.

Is this what longing feels like...?

"Knock knock!"

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Jiang Xun's thoughts.

He raised his eyes and glanced indifferently, when he saw the pretty woman smiling and chatting at the door.

His gaze shifted instantly, and a smile spread across his face.

"You're back." Jiang Xun stood up, his gentle voice tinged with excitement.

"Yes, you're back." Jiang Feiyan smiled and looked up at him.

Jiang Xun strode towards her, his eyes smiling, and said, "Have you not eaten yet? Let's go to the state-run restaurant."

Jiang Feiyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay."

......

Twenty minutes later, at the state-run restaurant.

Jiang Xun picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in Jiang Feiyan's bowl, saying softly:

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight since your trip to Shanghai. Eat more."

"Okay, sure."

Jiang Feiyan, with her straightforward female mindset, really wanted to say how come she hadn't noticed.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't say it.

You can't undermine someone's efforts, or it will be too embarrassing.

Jiang Xun: "How was the expo this time? Were there any fun things to do?"

Yes, there are several!

At this point, Jiang Feiyan became interested and began to talk at length.

Jiang Xun ate his meal slowly, listening with a smile on his lips.

Upon hearing about the two geniuses from the Ling family, he paused slightly, then smiled and said:

“I’ve heard of those two before. My grandfather is a regular at the Ling family’s place and often praises them to me.”

Jiang Feiyan: "Hmm? What a coincidence."

Jiang Xun: "Yes, my grandfather is a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He's very famous in Beijing. People would ask him to take a look if other clinics couldn't cure their illnesses."

Jiang Feiyan nodded: "Oh, I see."

So, it seems the Ling family has a seriously ill patient.

However, this was someone else's private matter, so she didn't pry.

Jiang Feiyan glanced at Jiang Xun and smiled, "I didn't expect your family to be a family of doctors."

"I guess so, but everyone in my family specializes in different areas."

Jiang Xun continued, "My grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, my parents researched medicine, and I am a surgeon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect Dr. Jiang's family to be so diverse; the family atmosphere must be very nice.

At this moment, Jiang Xun suddenly asked, "So, is there anything else you'd like to know?"

"What?" Jiang Feiyan didn't quite understand.

Jiang Xun looked at her with gentle eyes: "Aren't we in the process of getting to know each other? You can ask me anything you want to know about me."

Jiang Feiyan's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "Really?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xun smiled. "Of course."

"Actually, there's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time." Jiang Feiyan blinked her almond-shaped eyes playfully:

"Is this really... your first time pursuing a girl? Have you never been in a relationship before?"

Jiang Xun paused slightly: "Did I do something that made you misunderstand?"

As expected of the intelligent Dr. Jiang, she understood what she meant in a second.

"Well..." Jiang Feiyan scratched her head sheepishly.

"The little gifts you send me, you'll write a few kind words or something on the postcards."

I always love it; it feels like it's right up my alley.

So I had this misconception that you were quite experienced, and wondered if you had done something similar before...”

"No." Jiang Xun straightened up slightly, his dark eyes shimmering with gentle light, and said earnestly:

"Feiyan, you're the only person I've ever loved in my life, and you're the only one I'd ever want to be in a relationship with..."

A side note from Little Goldfish: Waaaaah, I've been getting so much flak lately, I'm almost going to shut up ﹏～

I really can't do the family reunion scene right away, since I also have to follow the original plot outline. I hope you can understand.

The pace will pick up a bit more next, with the female lead and male lead's romance progressing and their family reunion shown.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, muah! (heart emoji)
