There is a one-hour break after lunch.
Bai Yajing simply took the medicine and rode her bicycle to the military region's office building.
The guard at the gate stopped her.
Who are you looking for?
Bai Yajing held up the cloth bag in her hand. "Grandpa Xiao ordered medicine from me. I've finished making it and brought it over to him."
The security guard took the bag, checked it, and only returned it to her after confirming it was indeed medicine.
"Wait a minute. I'll go ask."
“Okay, tell Grandpa Xiao that I am Bai Yajing, Bai Yajing from the military hospital.”
The security guard nodded and went to the reception room to make a phone call.
Bai Yajing was still a little uneasy, wondering if Commander Xiao would understand and whether he would see her.
Fortunately, the security guard came out quickly and his attitude was better: "Commander Xiao is in his office, you can go now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily, "Okay, thank you."
I asked for directions all the way to the office door and knocked.
"Come in!"
Bai Yajing pushed open the door and entered. Inside, only Commander Xiao was writing furiously.
"Ya Jing, is there something you need to see Grandpa Xiao?" After saying that, he put down his pen and beckoned her to sit down with a kind gesture.
The security guard just called, saying he ordered the medicine. He's pretty sure he's not so senile that he wouldn't know if he ordered the medicine or not.
However, he still met with this girl, assuming she had something to discuss with him.
Bai Yajing entered the room, looked around to make sure no one was there.
She walked over and sat down, handing him the cloth bag in her hand. "Grandpa Xiao, I heard from Grandpa Gao last time that you often suffer from insomnia at night and have many hidden injuries that always hurt so much that you can't fall asleep. So I got you some medicine. Please try it."
As she spoke, she dipped her fingers into the tea that Commander Xiao had poured for her and wet them.
While speaking, he wrote on his desk: Xiao Che is seriously injured and is waiting for you at the base in the back mountain.
She knew that walls have ears and was afraid of being overheard, so she simply wrote it down for him to see.
When Commander Xiao saw that line of text, he almost jumped up. Wasn't Xiao Che supposed to be on a mission?
Why did he return and not report back but instead go to find Bai Yajing? Also, was he seriously injured?
Fortunately, he was a seasoned veteran who had weathered many storms, and he quickly composed himself and wiped away the water stains on the table.
"Oh, thank you so much, girl! It's kind of you to still remember this old man!"
He nodded to her without making a sound, indicating that he understood.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Yajing got up and left.
After that, she didn't need to worry about it.
She went to work as usual in the afternoon.
When I got home, I opened the study and saw a piece of jade on the table.
Hmm? Isn't this the jade pendant Xiao Che wears around his neck?
Something you can always carry close to your body must be very important.
Since I have nothing else of value on me, I might as well use this as payment.
This person is quite considerate. They know how to repay kindness.
Um... I'm just a little unsure whether I should accept it or not...
Grandma always said that you shouldn't accept valuable things from strangers, especially from men!
Tsk! So frustrating!
Never mind, I'll keep it for now and return it to the person next time I see them.
I put the jade pendant away and placed it separately on the shelf in the jade pendant space.
After leaving the room, I went to the yard to pick vegetables.
Her uncle will be back soon. She cooked rice and washed vegetables in advance, so all he needs to do when he gets back is stir-fry.
However, instead of her uncle returning, she encountered Liu Meiling and her brother.
"Ya Jing, the research institute is quite busy lately. Comrade Bai has to work overtime and won't be back today."
Bai Yajing looked at her with some suspicion. "Hmm? What's going on? Did my uncle ask you to tell me?"
When did the two of them get this close?
