Chapter 63 Another military dependent arrived at the family compound, also from Beijing...
The office was eerily quiet; everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
Just as Zhao Shuyi stood up, a girl with short, ear-length hair sitting opposite him suddenly raised her hand and said, "Director Kong, isn't Comrade Zhao also here to learn? Although she's a bit more capable than us, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for her to lecture us?"
Zhao Shuyi had some impression of this girl.
In the morning, she sat in the seat closest to the three teachers, and she was also the closest to them when grading the papers.
When the test papers were handed out, she seemed particularly dissatisfied.
Her words seemed to flip a switch, and several more people jumped out to express their dissatisfaction, not wanting Zhao Shuyi to explain things to them.
A round-faced girl next to her added, "That's right, Sister Jiawen is the best doctor in our hospital. If Comrade Zhao can talk, then Sister Jiawen can talk too, right?"
Zhao Shuyi raised an eyebrow, wondering if she was speaking up for someone or harming them. She noticed the short-haired girl frown.
But before she could speak, someone else jumped out.
One of them voiced what everyone was thinking.
"We gave up our jobs to come to the military hospital to learn real skills, not to see who can show off."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Director Kong's face completely vanished.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone, his tone very impolite.
"Have you forgotten that we didn't beg you to come to the hospital to learn, and we didn't charge you any fees, we even provided your food and lodging? Isn't following instructions the most basic thing?"
In military hospitals, most of the doctors are graduates of military academies, and their imposing presence is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.
When Director Kong got angry, even Zhao Shuyi felt a little intimidated.
He's right. Since we're here, we should follow his instructions.
She would speak whenever her supervisor asked her to.
If the leader says no, then she can simply be a good trainee.
Director Kong said, "I had to beg Zhao Shuyi three or four times to come here from the military family compound. I'm telling you right now. It's okay if you don't want to listen to her now. You can go back for now, and I won't kick you out."
"But I guarantee that even if you beg her in the future, you may not be able to get her to teach you."
Zhao Shuyi's heart trembled as she listened.
She felt that the other person seemed to trust her too much.
They're really pushing her to show her true abilities.
Fortunately, she wasn't afraid of at least these few questions.
Director Kong spoke so seriously, who would dare to say anything more, who would dare to leave?
Even the short-haired girl sitting opposite Zhao Shuyi looked down at her exam paper and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Shuyi didn't think the other party had done anything wrong.
It's a good thing to stand up against injustice.
With her personality and a terrible teammate by her side, she'll probably suffer in the future.
She had only been lost in thought for a short while when Director Kong called her name again, and she took the exam paper and went up to the stage.
"Hello everyone, let's get straight to the point without any small talk."
Zhao Shuyi was well-prepared and showed no stage fright.
"This test paper covers a wide range of topics, but they are all very basic. For example, the first two questions are about basic illnesses, such as colds and stomach aches. There are many possible causes for these two illnesses, so when we see the questions, we should have a basic framework in mind..."
Zhao Shuyi did not reveal the answer directly. After all, it would be easy to find out the answer by passing the test paper to everyone.
She believed that what Director Kong wanted was not for her to give the answer.
So she explained some basic information about the basic illnesses according to her own understanding, as well as some small knowledge points that doctors often overlooked but which were often emphasized by their teachers in their previous lives.
Only by using such clever tricks can she gain people's trust, and make them trust Director Kong even more.
Sure enough, after she explained only two questions, the room fell silent, and many students had already picked up their notebooks and pens to take notes.
Zhao Shuyi spent an hour and twenty minutes explaining the entire test paper, which was slower than when she did the questions herself.
Because she went on to cover a lot of ground, she hadn't actually explained everything thoroughly yet, and there was still a long way to go, but she couldn't possibly take up all the doctors' time.
"That's about it. If you have any objections, you can raise them and discuss them with me, but..." Zhao Shuyi hesitated for a moment, "...let's talk about it after class."
No one raised any objections, because her explanation was so simple and easy to understand, and she was not wrong.
However, they did have questions they wanted to ask, but Zhao Shuyi had already returned to her seat, and it was class time, so everyone silently swallowed back the questions they wanted to ask.
Just as Zhao Shuyi sat down, Director Kong led the applause for her, and everyone else joined in. Zhao Shuyi then stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Thank you everyone. Let's all work hard together, and I will continue to work hard as well."
Upon hearing this, the students had mixed feelings, but they still perked up and listened to the teacher's lecture again.
"Our first phase will focus on some basic issues, but you are all medical professionals who are already capable of working independently. In fact, you already know many of the basics, but you may sometimes overlook some things, just like what Comrade Zhao Shuyi just mentioned."
"In the process of practicing medicine, what is easy to stump us is precisely these things that are easily overlooked. As a doctor, no one has a weak foundation. If the foundation is too weak, no one would dare to practice medicine. So we must constantly check for and fill in the gaps in our knowledge."
"This lesson will begin with common internal medicine ailments..."
Everyone in the classroom was listening attentively to the teacher's explanation, and everyone was diligently taking notes; no one was daydreaming.
Although Zhao Shuyi knew some of it, she dared not let her guard down.
For her, learning this knowledge was a process of filling in the gaps in her knowledge.
The worst thing is to be knowledgeable but not knowledgeable. You may seem to know everything, but in reality, you only have a superficial understanding of everything. If you do this, you are very likely to make some very basic mistakes when examining patients.
Seeing that Zhao Shuyi knew so much and listened so attentively, the other trainees were all eager to try their best as well.
If you start at a lower level than others, you have to work even harder.
The first stage consists entirely of theoretical knowledge.
After class, the teacher assigned them to do tests and read books. There was quite a lot of homework, but it was only a drop in the ocean compared to the homework assigned by Dr. Tan.
Zhao Shuyi took her things and wanted to go back; she still needed to cook and then study.
Since there's nothing to do for entertainment, there's no need to delay.
Most importantly, Gu Yan was also there.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little melancholy.
As soon as she arrived at the conference room door, she was stopped by someone.
"Hello Comrade Zhao, I am Qiu Jiawen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
It was the short-haired girl who questioned her in class.
The other party's attitude was fairly good, but there was a hint of arrogance in their expression.
Although Zhao Shuyi didn't particularly like her, she couldn't refuse someone who was smiling, so she still extended her hand and shook hands with her.
"Hello, I am Zhao Shuyi."
"Comrade Zhao Shuyi, which dormitory do you live in? Can we study together later?"
After Qiu Jiawen finished speaking, not only her, but also the girls next to her stared at Zhao Shuyi expectantly.
The round-faced girl, however, seemed disdainful and didn't even look at her.
Zhao Shuyi glanced at the other person again, thought for a moment, and then did not agree.
"I'm sorry, I don't live in the dorm, so I can't study with everyone. But if you have any questions you'd like to discuss, you can write them down first, and we can come over half an hour early tomorrow morning to discuss them together. How does that sound?"
Zhao Shuyi has always felt that working in isolation is not a good choice.
So if they're willing, she's happy to discuss it with everyone.
However, Zhao Shuyi was unwilling to sacrifice her own study time.
The group was clearly disappointed.
But they couldn't force Zhao Shuyi to agree to this, so they had no choice but to agree.
As Zhao Shuyi stepped out of the building, she heard a hushed voice say, "She just looks down on us. What's so great about her?"
It was Qiu Jiawen's incompetent teammate.
Someone asked in a low voice, "If Comrade Zhao Shuyi doesn't live in the dormitory, where does he live?"
"She's probably a local."
However, some people were probably still worried about not being able to keep up with the pace, so a few locals also stayed in the hospital dormitory.
Qiu Jiawen said, "Don't just stand there, go back to your studies."
With so many tasks assigned by the teacher, everyone felt a sense of urgency, and no one bothered to gossip about Zhao Shuyi anymore.
As the group walked out, a tall male doctor in a white coat approached them.
Everyone's gaze followed the doctor's figure back into the corridor.
"Who is that doctor? He's so handsome."
"I think it must be that genius surgeon they were talking about who studied medicine from a young age?"
"I heard that he was already able to perform surgery on his own when he was sixteen years old. He's really amazing."
"And his family is also very well-off."
"They've all left, what are you still standing there for?"
Qiu Jiawen urged them on, and then the group hurriedly followed her to the dormitory.
At that time, Zhao Shuyi had already arrived at the entrance of the family compound.
She greeted the old man at the door and slowly walked back.
It was a long-lost feeling of being able to leave work feeling relaxed.
In her past life, the time she enjoyed most was when she walked back to her residence alone after finishing school or work.
Sometimes she doesn't want to go home and will deliberately take a walk outside.
Every blade of grass and every tree along the road seemed so lovely.
Back home, Zhao Shuyi made a stew of potatoes and pork ribs.
She grabbed the ribs from the market that morning.
Although she has vegetables in her online space, when she gets to the market, she wants to grab them whenever she sees them, always feeling that they taste better when she grabs them.
She still didn't ask Director Kong's husband to buy groceries for her.
She felt it was troublesome and was a little embarrassed.
However, if possible, she is also willing to occasionally bring the other person some delicious food.
For whatever reason, Director Kong had nothing to say to her.
Zhao Shuyi is also a grateful person.
The meal was ready in just over half an hour.
She put the food on the table and then went to knock on Dr. Tan's door.
The two agreed to have dinner together.
As it turned out, Dr. Tan was busy, and she looked up from a pile of documents.
"Next time you eat, don't wait for me. Just pack my lunchbox for me. I'll eat it when I have time."
The other person pushed up their glasses as they spoke.
Knowing that she was a workaholic, Zhao Shuyi didn't try to change her lifestyle and simply agreed.
Then she went to the kitchen, got a lunchbox, packed the food for the other person, and delivered it to Dr. Tan's desk.
"I'll put it right in front of you. Remember to eat it, don't forget."
Dr. Tan didn't even look up and said, "I know, just leave the dishes there, I'll wash them."
Zhao Shuyi couldn't let the teacher do it. Although she didn't like washing dishes or cleaning the kitchen, it was just something she could do easily.
She ate her meal by herself, cleaned up the kitchen, and then went into her room to access her personal space.
After taking a breath of fresh air, she continued to bury herself in her studies.
After reviewing the content taught by the teacher in the training course and doing the homework, Zhao Shuyi began to study the tasks assigned by Dr. Tan.
Zhao Shuyi had to spend almost two hours doing the things in the training course.
Fortunately, the flow rate in this space was different from that in the outside world, otherwise she felt she definitely wouldn't have been able to complete it.
After studying for a while, he would stand up to look at the scenery, relax, and tend to the crops in his field.
After two days of intensive study, Zhao Shuyi felt that her efficiency had improved significantly.
She originally thought that with the spiritual spring water, she wouldn't feel tired at all.
But as it turns out, she had underestimated the importance of using her brain. Without these relaxing farm chores, she might have been driven crazy by all those books.
Because the training content took up some time, she studied two books that night and stayed up until 1 a.m.
However, when Zhao Shuyi left the space and was about to wash up, she found that Dr. Tan's office light was still on, and he was still working late into the night.
I must say, Dr. Tan is incredibly dedicated.
Zhao Shuyi thought for a moment, went back to her room, made a cup of malted milk powder, and brought it in to the other person.
Seeing that the other person had finished eating, Zhao Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I haven't really neglected my sleep and meals yet.
After helping her take her lunchbox away, Zhao Shuyi pushed the malted milk powder in front of her and said, "Teacher, please take a rest and drink some water to warm yourself up."
Dr. Tan said thank you, then glanced at Zhao Shuyi and said, "You should go to sleep early too. You'll be more energetic to learn better."
Then she lowered her head again, but she still picked up the cup of malted milk powder and took a sip.
Zhao Shuyi saw her eyes light up.
"It tastes good."
Dr. Tan wasn't one to feign politeness, and Zhao Shuyi appreciated this trait. Seeing this, Zhao Shuyi said, "Then I'll make you a cup every day from now on."
It also serves as a reminder to her to take a break. Working so hard at her desk like this is too strenuous for her. The malted milk powder with spiritual spring water added by Zhao Shuyi should help alleviate the discomfort.
The other party didn't refuse, but she quickly became engrossed in her work again, seemingly letting Zhao Shuyi's words go in one ear and out the other.
Perhaps they didn't hear it at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuyi felt somewhat helpless, but she didn't disturb the other party and went about her own business.
She remembered that she had promised her classmates in the training class that she would arrive half an hour early.
The next morning, Zhao Shuyi got up early, cooked some porridge and made two large pancakes. She didn't even have time to drink the porridge before taking the pancakes to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, many students had already arrived. They were all either reading or memorizing, and they were all working very hard.
However, after spending time with them yesterday, Zhao Shuyi had a general idea of their attitude, so she wasn't too surprised.
Upon seeing her arrive, Qiu Jiawen and the others quickly waved to her, inviting her to sit with them.
The other party was very enthusiastic, and Zhao Shuyi did not refuse.
As soon as they sat down, Qiu Jiawen said, "Comrade Zhao Shuyi, let's take a look at your homework."
Zhao Shuyi didn't agree directly, but said, "Why don't we all share our answers?"
The girl next to Qiu Jiawen muttered something upon hearing this.
"We definitely didn't answer as well as you. Can't you just show us a comparison?"
Zhao Shuyi felt slightly displeased; she really hated dealing with these kinds of troubles.
"The process of you explaining is also a process of organizing your thoughts. If you just look at my written answer without that thought process, it's not so easy to remember. Besides, my answer isn't necessarily completely correct. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Everyone has a different approach to answering questions, and the answers they come up with may also be different. By comparing them, we may be able to find many shortcomings and loopholes in each other."
"Since everyone is here to discuss learning, I think this approach will be more effective."
Qiu Jiawen was the first to raise her hand.
"Then I'll go first."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, yet looked at her with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
She was very confident, explaining the problem from the beginning to her answer, and her thought process was very clear.
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, not daring to say anything.
Because they felt that none of their answers were as good as Qiu Jiawen's.
Everyone seemed a bit reserved, so Zhao Shuyi said, "If you feel your answers aren't good enough, you can tell me where you overlooked something and how you should do it next time. Just think about it."
That's a slightly better way to put it.
Finally, another young girl was willing to step forward.
"I think I'm much rougher than Comrade Qiu. I may have thought of some things and my answers were in similar directions, but I didn't write them out in detail."
"And my answer wasn't detailed enough. I followed my own thoughts during the consultations, so I didn't write down some things..."
Zhao Shuyi read her comments and found them quite reasonable.
It's understandable that she wrote it this way; she clearly has confidence in her medical skills. Once her medical skills reach a certain level, she can be confident in some details.
Zhao Shuyi felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.
However, when she spoke, she nitpicked some details about her answers, pointing out flaws here and there, as if she lacked confidence in herself as a person.
"I think your answers are all very good. At least the teachers will definitely understand them and be able to see your level of knowledge. You just didn't write out the detailed process, but the connection between each step is clear. As long as the process is clear, whether you write it out or not is not that important."
"you're good!"
Zhao Shuyi sincerely praised her again, and the other person blushed.
Seeing that Zhao Shuyi spoke politely and wasn't condescending, everyone finally grew bolder.
Two more comrades then shared their solutions.
Zhao Shuyi also explained their problems and strengths to them one by one, and everyone listened with great interest.
Soon, a lot of people surrounded Zhao Shuyi, including some men.
This was the situation Director Kong saw when he came in. He was somewhat surprised and came in to listen to everyone's thoughts.
Upon seeing Director Kong, Zhao Shuyi did not offer any further comment.
She didn't want to show off her skills in front of Guan Yu.
The girl who wasn't called on was a little disappointed, but she still obediently returned to her seat.
Director Kong walked to the podium and looked at the crowd with obvious satisfaction.
He said, "I am very pleased to see everyone working so hard, and I just saw some students sharing their ideas with each other, which is a great approach."
"You all need to understand why, when we treat patients, there are often many experts discussing the condition together. As the saying goes, 'Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.' I believe the same applies to you all. As long as you work hard, even if you can't stay in our hospital, you will definitely have a better future. Keep up the good work, everyone."
Zhao Shuyi felt an inexplicable urge to laugh as she listened to his words.
It seems that Director Kong always starts each class with a pep talk or inspirational speech.
It must be said that his inspirational quotes did have some effect.
At least she noticed that some students straightened their backs even more after listening to Director Kong's words.
"Please hand in your work in a bit. I'll take a look too. I believe none of you are here to just coast along. I'll look at it to help you fill in any gaps..."
The morning classes were quickly coming to an end. Director Kong was humorous in his speech and his classes were quite humorous as well, so Zhao Shuyi didn't find them boring.
After class, Zhao Shuyi planned to go back and cook before continuing her studies. She wanted to digest what the teacher had taught as quickly as possible, otherwise she was afraid she would forget it.
As a result, she was stopped by Qiu Jiawen again when she got to the door.
Zhao Shuyi was speechless. What was wrong with this girl? Was she targeting her?
Knowing that she was probably very competitive, Zhao Shuyi was a little unhappy that she was using that competitiveness on herself.
"Comrade Qiu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Qiu Jiawen's expression wasn't very pleasant, as if she had offended her.
Zhao Shuyi was full of questions.
Just as she was about to leave, Qiu Jiawen said somewhat awkwardly, "Comrade Zhao Shuyi, why don't you comment on what I said?" She sounded a little aggrieved.
Zhao Shuyi was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be concerned about this.
You've been agonizing over this all morning, haven't you?
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but laugh, which was rather unkind.
"Comrade Qiu Jiawen..." Zhao Shuyi originally wanted to tease him by saying that he had come to ask for praise, but then she thought that people these days might not be able to accept such jokes.
It wouldn't be good if everyone mocked her, but Zhao Shuyi thought she was really cute, the contrast was quite strong.
Seeing that Zhao Shuyi stopped after saying her name, Qiu Jiawen showed a rare look of unease.
Zhao Shuyi's smile deepened, and she said, "I didn't comment because I didn't have anything to comment on. I think you're right. You wrote very carefully and took every aspect into account. Your handwriting is also beautiful."
"If I had to say anything, all I could do was keep praising you. If I praised you too much, wouldn't the other students who weren't quite as perfect be even less likely to stand up and share?"
"But everyone is actually pretty great, because everyone has their own strengths. You can see if you have improved compared to usual, and that's enough."
"If you are still worried that you are not learning well enough, I can teach you a method, but it may not be suitable for you. You can consider it."
"You can treat it as if you've never learned the knowledge the teacher taught before, start from the beginning, absorb what the teacher taught, and then when you're thinking about the answers, consider the various cases you've encountered before. This way you might be able to think of more."
"I have to go back and cook now. Goodbye, everyone. See you this afternoon. You can come earlier this afternoon so we can share our thoughts and experiences."
Many people fell silent as they watched Zhao Shuyi leave in a flurry.
No one expected that everyone would work so hard here, afraid of being outdone and eliminated.
Zhao Shuyi, on the other hand, rushed back in such a hurry, just to go home and cook.
Indeed, there are differences between people.
As everyone could see, Qiu Jiawen cared a bit about Zhao Shuyi's opinion.
They didn't know how to describe their feelings.
Because they all knew that Qiu Jiawen was the most outstanding young doctor in the county's TCM hospital.
They are simply no match for Qiu Jiawen.
They also knew that Qiu Jiawen was usually quite arrogant, but even Qiu Jiawen respected the other party so much.
Indeed, there really is always someone better.
Zhao Shuyi was unaware that because of her joining, everyone's envy and jealousy of Qiu Jiawen had lessened.
Because of Qiu Jiawen's admiration for her, everyone felt that she was unattainable and could not be jealous of her at all.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During those five days, almost everyone studied to the point of exhaustion.
Even though Zhao Shuyi had the spiritual spring water that could restore her energy and a space where she could rest, she was still exhausted and couldn't keep up.
She not only had to learn the content given by the training teacher, but also the tasks assigned by Teacher Tan. In addition, she also had to discuss the content of the class and some extended knowledge with many classmates.
The time they were allowed to enter the classroom early has been extended from half an hour to an hour.
Although it was only a short five days, Zhao Shuyi felt as if she had been learning for almost half a month.
I'm a little tired.
"Everyone has performed exceptionally well during this period. You are the most hardworking group of students I have ever taught. I dare say that if you continue to maintain this level of enthusiasm for learning, you will definitely make significant progress once you return to the hospital."
"However, the necessary assessments will still be conducted. If you fail, you will still be asked to leave. Everyone, please work hard."
"After the assessment, you will have one day of rest. The results will be released the day after tomorrow."
Although everyone was a little nervous and apprehensive about whether they would succeed in the assessment, the anxiety was almost instantly replaced by joy when they heard that they would get a break.
In any case, the results will come after a rest, so at least they can have a good rest day.
Zhao Shuyi also silently breathed a sigh of relief.
She decided to go back to her family home; she missed Gu Yan terribly, and the more tired she was, the more she missed him.
The exam papers had been handed out, and Zhao Shuyi snapped out of her thoughts and began to answer the questions seriously.
Exam time flies by; it feels like you just swipe your pen and it's time to hand in your paper.
Zhao Shuyi handed in her paper ahead of schedule.
Director Kong was initially somewhat displeased with this, but after seeing her exam paper, he had nothing more to say and waved Zhao Shuyi away.
Zhao Shuyi smiled. She had come from the exam-oriented education system, so exams were nothing to her; she was an expert at them.
She wasn't in a hurry to go back to see Gu Yan, because the train schedule was there, and if she wanted to get back, she would have to wait at the station for twenty minutes.
She was just worried that once the exam was over, everyone would crowd around her asking for her answers, and if she was delayed by everyone, she might not have time to take the bus.
Zhao Shuyi had already packed her things and went to Dr. Tan's office first.
Dr. Tan is on duty this afternoon.
When she arrived, there were several patients waiting outside the other department.
Zhao Shuyi knocked on the door and went inside.
The patients didn't react much when they saw her wearing a white coat.
"Teacher, I have finished writing the assignment you gave me and put it on your desk. We have a holiday tomorrow, and I want to go home."
Dr. Tan looked up at her, her face expressionless, making it impossible for Zhao Shuyi to tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
Zhao Shuyi was slightly nervous.
The other person nodded.
She nodded, and Zhao Shuyi quickly and happily said thank you, teacher, then turned and ran away.
After returning home, Zhao Shuyi not only put her completed homework on Teacher Tan's desk, but also prepared some pastries and some dishes she had made in her space for her.
The food is placed in a lunchbox, so the other party can't tell if it was bought or not. Therefore, even if the other party discovers that the house hasn't been cooked, it won't have any impact.
When she returns the day after tomorrow, the other party will probably have forgotten about it. As long as it's not related to medical matters, they won't delve into it.
These days, cars only make a maximum of two trips a day.
And it's probably because there are troops there that there was a train in the afternoon.
However, the bus was very crowded with all sorts of people, and everyone was carrying all sorts of random things. When Zhao Shuyi got on, she almost fainted from the stench.
Fortunately, she got into the car at the parking spot, and there was still one seat available.
Zhao Shuyi squeezed forward and sat down. Instantly, her mind entered the space, and she came back to life.
After that, no matter how the car swayed on the mountain road, Zhao Shuyi remained sound asleep, and the journey was relatively uneventful.
By the time she returned to the family compound, it was almost dark.
She didn't dare change her clothes before going home, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain herself since she was completely clean. She just hoped that Gu Yan hadn't gone home yet.
She went back, and sure enough, the courtyard gate was still locked.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little disappointed, but still wanted to see him as soon as possible.
She wasn't disappointed for long. She opened the door and rushed to the kitchen to boil water for a bath. When she looked around, she found there was still a lot of food in the kitchen, but the water in the water tank was almost gone.
Gu Yan is indeed quite haphazard when I'm not around.
Zhao Shuyi added a lot of the spiritual spring water to the pot and then began preparing to cook.
Fortunately, there were still plenty of vegetables in the field, so we wouldn't be without anything to cook.
After preparing the ingredients, she quickly washed up and changed her clothes.
Finally, I feel so relieved!
Zhao Shuyi then slowed down and went next door to ask Xia Mulan if she had eaten.
Logically speaking, everyone at home should have already eaten by this time.
And that is indeed the case.
Xia Mulan was pleasantly surprised to see her return.
"Why did you suddenly come back? I didn't hear Gu Yan mention it."
Zhao Shuyi smiled and said, "It was just a holiday break. It came suddenly, and I figured I had nothing to do in Kunming, so I came back."
Xia Mulan smiled but remained silent; everyone knew that Zhao Shuyi's return was probably because she missed Gu Yan.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little embarrassed by her gaze.
"Let me take your pulse and see how your recovery is going?"
Xia Mulan can walk freely now and seems to be in good condition. You can't even tell that her legs are still a little unsteady unless you look closely.
Moreover, the scars on her body looked fainter than before.
Just by taking her pulse, Zhao Shuyi knew that the other person would definitely be eating the sugar pills she had left for her.
Since the spiritual spring water was no longer available, the foot bath packs that Zhao Shuyi gave only had a slight effect of relieving fatigue and helping with sleep.
It's no longer of much use to Xia Mulan.
So when Zhao Shuyi left, she prepared a batch of sugar pills made with spiritual spring water for her. Although the effect was not as good as drinking spiritual spring water directly, it could still have a conditioning effect over time.
Doctors love obedient patients like her.
"It's even better than before. Sister Mulan will definitely get better and better."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mulan wore a gentle smile.
She never dreamed that she would actually recover one day.
Every time she sees Zhao Shuyi, she wants to thank her, saying, "I really don't know how to thank you."
Zhao Shuyi: "As a doctor, this is my duty, just like when you, Sister Mulan, went to the battlefield without hesitation."
Xia Mulan couldn't help but feel her eyes redden slightly.
Some expressions of gratitude feel too abstract to be expressed verbally, so she could only try her best to thank the couple together with Tao Yuan.
"Anyway, if you need any help from me, just let me know. We'll be good friends in the future, right?"
Zhao Shuyi was particularly surprised that Xia Mulan could say such a thing.
She is a very strong-willed person, and she probably prefers to keep her emotions to herself most of the time.
The fact that she's revealing this now only shows that she can't find any way to express her gratitude to Zhao Shuyi, so she has no choice but to make a promise that even she herself finds somewhat empty.
Just as Zhao Shuyi was about to speak, Gu Yan's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Company Commander Xia, is Shuyi back?"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Shuyi's face lit up with joy, and she rushed out. There she saw Gu Yan standing in the courtyard, looking like he wanted to come in but didn't dare to.
Zhao Shuyi felt a lump in her throat and ran over to throw herself into his arms.
"Gu Yan, I miss you a little."
Zhao Shuyi speaks in a sticky, incoherent way, but Gu Yan likes her that way.
He didn't care that he was dirty, and simply picked the person up in his arms.
As a result, Zhao Shuyi started to complain.
"You stink, you smell awful."
Gu Yan felt somewhat helpless.
But I still hurriedly put her down.
They're at Commander Tao's house now, and it's really inappropriate for the two of them to be acting like this. It's only because Commander Tao and his wife don't mind that they're acting this way, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Wait a minute, I'll go tell Sister Mulan."
Knowing that the young couple must have a lot to talk about, Xia Mulan didn't go out earlier.
Now you can see Zhao Shuyi's face is a little red.
Xia Mulan smiled and said, "You should go back now, the young couple should have a good talk."
Zhao Shuyi couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Then I'll head back now and come talk to Sister Mulan again tomorrow."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
As Zhao Shuyi went out, she didn't care about anything else and directly took Gu Yan's hand.
Gu Yan also had a slight smile on his face, and the two of them went straight back to their own courtyard.
As soon as the courtyard gate was locked, without even waiting to return to his room, Gu Yan grabbed Zhao Shuyi and kissed her.
After kissing for a while, Zhao Shuyi became disgusted with Gu Yan and pushed him away.
Gu Yan said, amused and annoyed, "I'll go wash up right now."
"Go quickly, take a shower and smell nice, I'll cook."
Upon hearing the words "wash the fragrance," Gu Yan revealed a meaningful expression.
Zhao Shuyi pretended not to see it, her eyes wide open, looking completely innocent.
Gu Yan wanted to kiss her again, but he held back.
Soon, Gu Yan carried the bucket into the bathroom, while Zhao Shuyi sped up her cooking.
Xia Mulan, who hadn't smelled the aroma of Zhao Shuyi and the others' food for a long time, was filled with a happy smile.
Since Gu Yan hadn't prepared any ingredients, Zhao Shuyi simply stir-fried a vegetarian dish and made a vegetable and egg soup.
Even with such a simple meal, Gu Yan felt it was the best food he had eaten recently.
He ate three large bowls of rice all by himself.
After eating, he obediently went to clean up the kitchen.
Zhao Shuyi followed him closely, like a little tail, a feeling Gu Yan had never experienced before.
Gu Yan would glance at her from time to time, and when their eyes met, they both noticed the longing in their eyes.
After washing the dishes and quickly brushing his teeth, Gu Yan wanted to pull Zhao Shuyi into the room.
Zhao Shuyi teased him, "We haven't started training yet."
In the past, Zhao Shuyi couldn't get up in the morning, so Gu Yan would train with her every night before she went to bed. Unless Gu Yan was particularly busy and came back too late, they would basically not waste time.
Gu Yan picked him up in his arms and said, "Practicing in bed is the same. I'll teach you."
What can a greenhorn like him, who has only recently started eating meat, teach?
Zhao Shuyi thought to herself that this was a blatant disapproval of men, but she dared not say it aloud. This was a questioning of men and a challenge to their dignity.
However, what he didn't know was that her expression had already betrayed her; Gu Yan was determined to prove herself.
The bed creaked and groaned for most of the night.
When Zhao Shuyi was carried to the bathroom to be washed, she was feeling drowsy.
As a result, she hugged Gu Yan and acted coquettishly, which allowed Gu Yan to indulge himself for once again.
Zhao Shuyi didn't even have the strength to scold him anymore.
When Zhao Shuyi woke up the next day, it was already 11 a.m., and her eyelids felt heavy when she opened them.
Half of her vacation was wasted like that.
Stinky Guyan.
Zhao Shuyi went straight into the space and thoroughly restored it.
That's when I finally came to my full senses.
Stepping out of the room and seeing the familiar scene, Zhao Shuyi felt as if she had been transported to another world.
"Sister Shuyi is still not up? The battle last night must have been incredibly intense."
Zhao Shuyi almost tripped and fell flat on her face.
"Zhang Yue, your voice is too loud!" Zhao Shuyi shouted.
The talking next door stopped, and after a while, the group burst into laughter.
"Sister Shuyi, you're awake! I thought you were too exhausted to get up today."
Zhang Yue not only spoke, but she also took a stool, leaned against the courtyard wall, and looked at Zhao Shuyi while speaking.
Zhao Shuyi was not about to give in to her, and gave her a cold glance.
"You seem to know so much about this; it's as if you have deep experience with it."
Zhang Yue was dumbfounded.
These days, she has learned some jokes from the women in the family compound.
But she was still a newlywed, and she felt a little embarrassed by Zhao Shuyi's teasing.
Silently, he shrank back over the wall.
"Sister Shuyi, would you like to have lunch with us? We've been missing your cooking."
She spoke in a pitiful tone, clearly trying to be charming and ingratiating.
"Sure, do you have any food?"
"Yes, we can scrape together some if the few of us chip in. Shall we come to your house to cook?"
"Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes. You can bring the food over in twenty minutes."
Zhao Shuyi washed up and prepared, replaced the water in the water tank at home with spiritual spring water, and then waited for the group of people to arrive.
Originally, there were only Zhang Yue, Zhao Shuyi, and Zhou Li, but Huang Ying also came later.
We'd only been apart for a few days, but we were all making a ruckus, as if we'd been apart for ages.
It must be said that Zhao Shuyi was very happy to see them.
When asked about interesting things in Kunming, Zhao Shuyi couldn't say anything at all; she was too busy. She could only tell them about some things that happened in her classes recently.
"It's so hard."
Although it was tough, it was quite fulfilling.
Zhao Shuyi told the truth that every day she did nothing but study, read books, and attend classes.
However, she felt that apart from not seeing everyone, life was still going fairly well.
But most people definitely couldn't handle it.
Zhao Shuyi really did take advantage of having a space and spiritual spring water.
Every time she thought about this, it strengthened her resolve to work even harder.
She felt she should have a greater responsibility.
"Has anything interesting happened in the residential compound these past few days?"
"Yes, there's something interesting going on. Another military dependent has come to our compound. She's very beautiful and she's also from Beijing."
