Chapter 313 He's Back
Chen Limin went home after wandering around and was preparing to cook when Song Man came back carrying a handbag.
She looked at her daughter, who had suddenly returned, with considerable surprise: "Why are you back at this hour?"
Song Man pursed her lips: "Yes, I came back as soon as the interview was over."
As he spoke, he took things out of his bag.
Seeing the two cans of milk powder and the can of biscuits, Chen Limin casually asked, "Are you going to see your brother's daughter?"
Song Man paused for a moment, realizing she had forgotten about it, and shook her head: "No, I want to go to Li Simin's house first. Li Simin should have been discharged from the hospital."
Chen Limin was looking at a can of milk powder when she heard her words. She put the can down with a smirk and said, "You don't need to bother. Li Simin has already gone to the Northwest. He can't drink this milk powder. You might as well send it to your little niece."
Song Man stared at Chen Limin in shock: "His wound hadn't even healed yet, how could he be gone? When did he leave? Mom, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Chen Limin pouted: "Why would I lie to you? He's joined a key national research and development project team to study missiles. Everyone in the compound knows. They even had a farewell party yesterday."
Song Manxin's heart sank to the bottom, her mind going blank: "Is it true?"
Chen Limin rolled her eyes: "Why would I lie to you? They probably just left an hour ago. But don't even think about chasing them, you won't be able to catch them, and the route they took is kept secret."
Song Man still couldn't believe it, and it felt like a piece of her heart was empty. The person she once didn't want to see was suddenly someone she could no longer see.
She turned and walked out; she was going to find Jiang Zhizhi.
Chen Limin called out from behind, "Song Man! Where are you going now that you've just come in? You're not stupid enough to go find Li Simin, are you?"
He called out as he chased after her out the door, and seeing that Song Man was heading in the direction of the Zhou family, he guessed that she was probably going to find Jiang Zhizhi. He muttered a couple of things and turned back home.
She is not worried or afraid at all now, since Li Simin is going to a far place and cannot contact his family. More importantly, he will be gone for several years.
By the time Li Simin returns, Song Man will already be married!
...
Song Man went to find Jiang Zhizhi, who had just picked up her rice bowl to eat.
Zhou Chengzhi was not home. Only Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua were at home. The nanny, Sister Chen, was in charge of cooking, but she did not eat at home. Instead, she went to the canteen in the compound to get her meals.
After greeting Fang Hua, Song Man couldn't wait to ask Jiang Zhizhi, "Li Simin went to the Northwest?"
Jiang Zhizhi put down her chopsticks and nodded: "Yes, they just left not long ago."
Song Man's voice trembled: "He's still injured, how could he leave? How long will he be gone?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't know how long it will take, because time is very tight and we won't be able to wait for his wound to heal. But there's a doctor with him, so there's no need to worry."
Previously, she only knew that Li Simin was very capable. At yesterday's farewell party, the leader gave a speech saying that Li Simin's brain was a precisely functioning machine. He could find out where the error was just by going through a lot of data once.
There are also some codes that he can write at a glance.
That's incredibly impressive!
After listening, Jiang Zhizhi was filled with admiration. No wonder Li Chengzhang scolded him for being so sentimental. Such a brilliant mind should indeed be used for national defense.
Song Man felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry, but she was too embarrassed to shed tears here.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhizhi pulled her to her room and handed her a clean handkerchief: "Sister Song Man, Brother Si Min is recovering quite well these past few days, so you don't need to worry."
Song Man's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt terrible: "I...I didn't even thank him. I was supposed to go see him the next morning, but he was transferred to another hospital, so I thought I'd go after I got back from my business trip..."
"Who would have thought... he would leave us like this."
Jiang Zhizhi paused for a moment: "Sister Song Man, Brother Si Min didn't care that you didn't go to the hospital to see him, so you don't need to blame yourself. Besides, he saved you not to say thank you."
Song Man felt a suffocating pain in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Song Man with some difficulty, not knowing how to persuade her.
She has always been straightforward and blunt when it comes to relationships, so she couldn't understand Song Man's feelings.
Even more perplexing is Song Man's current feelings towards Li Simin.
After sitting quietly with Song Man for a while, Song Man wiped away her tears and stood up: "I'll return you a new handkerchief tomorrow. I'm sorry you had to see this today."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly shook her head: "No need, no need. You should go back and get some rest. You must be tired from this business trip."
Song Man left the Zhou family somewhat blankly, her mind in turmoil, unsure of what to say.
Jiang Zhizhi brought Song Man back, washed her hands, sat down, and continued eating.
Fang Hua suddenly blurted out, "Song Man, have you regretted it? Do you now think you like Li Simin?"
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "I don't know either. I'm not sure what kind of feelings she has for Li Simin right now, and I can't ask her. After all, Li Simin has left, and we don't know when he'll be back."
"We can't correspond with each other in between, so asking is pointless."
Fang Hua nodded: "Your idea is right, and I think these two are destined not to be together. Song Man is already twenty-eight, how many years can she wait for Li Simin? Once you miss someone, you miss them."
“Even if she wanted to wait, Chen Limin wouldn’t let her. If you ask me, it’s Song Man’s personality that ruined her. It’s better that they didn’t end up together.”
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Fang Hua in surprise: "Mom, you see things very clearly."
Fang Hua laughed: "We're not like you young people, acting on impulse. At your age, love is enough. We're all this age, so we're definitely more realistic. Do you think it's realistic to ask Song Man to wait for Li Simin for three to five years?"
"Before, it was just Li Simin who was enthusiastically involved, but now that he's been away for a few years, his thoughts might have changed. What if there are suitable female colleagues in the unit?"
"That's all very possible."
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled, finding herself unable to refute Fang Hua.
Fang Hua is right. Some people are just missed opportunities. It's not like a TV drama. You have to find a chance to meet them again.
Jiang Zhizhi has a habit of staying up late at night. She needs to go through all her notes, review and consolidate what she needs to memorize, and finally review the theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
Accumulate a little bit every day, and you'll gradually become very skilled.
When I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open, I went to the bathroom, ran back, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
I rolled around in bed a couple of times before falling into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhizhi turned over and smelled a familiar scent that made her feel at ease. She closed her eyes and touched it, feeling its warmth and firm muscles. She couldn't help but mutter, "Dreaming again?"
Then they heard a soft laugh, followed by Zhou Xiye's hoarse, deep voice: "What did you dream about?"
