That night, Fan Shengnan lay on a simple camp bed, listening to the occasional sound of artillery fire coming from outside the tent, and could not fall asleep for a long time.
For the first time in her life, a man's face appeared in her mind before she went to bed, and it kept lingering in her mind.
After evacuating the Mengshan war zone, all students who participated in the volunteer medical team were commended after returning to school.
Soon, Fan Shengnan successfully passed the final examination and became a quasi-surgeon. Because of her excellent grades and performance, she was recognized by the leader of the field medical team and was given an internship invitation at a military hospital as an exception.
Living up to everyone's expectations, after three years of diligent and hard internship in the department, she once again won the opportunity to stay on as a provincial military doctor with her outstanding performance.
Just when everyone thought that Fan Shengnan would happily choose to stay in the provincial military medical job that everyone dreamed of, she chose to return to her hometown to work at the Ningshi Military Region Hospital.
Some people asked her the reason in confusion. She said that her father had been in poor health in the past two years and needed someone to take care of him. At the same time, the primary medical system also needed people like her to absorb fresh blood from the most advanced medical technology. As for her personally, she also felt that she needed more training at the grassroots level before she could have the ability and confidence to handle more complex and difficult treatment tasks.
The reason was reasonable, and the provincial military doctor had no choice but to let this talented person go even though he was reluctant to do so.
But there was actually another reason, which she didn't tell, because she didn't know whether it was one of the reasons why she chose Ning City -
When she went home to visit her family during the holidays, a group of guests came to her house, and one of them enthusiastically wanted to be a matchmaker for her. She was a little disgusted at first, but out of politeness she did not turn around and leave.
Little did he know that he heard Lu Zhan's name from that person's mouth——
He was transferred to the 718th Unit of the Ningshi Military Region where her father was stationed as a battalion commander. As he was only in his twenties, he was definitely a young talent.
She didn't know what was going on in her mind at the time, but she didn't reject the blind date arrangement in person.
Maybe she was just happy to hear the news about Lu Zhan, thinking that they would finally have the chance to meet again after a few years.
However, this blind date was delayed due to various temporary assignments and unexpected events, and it was finally abandoned.
At that time, she was far away in another province. She had a tight work schedule and only a few days of vacation throughout the year. If this continued, the two might never see each other again.
After tossing and turning in bed many times late into the night, Fan Shengnan began to think about returning to Ning City.
What she didn't expect was that she unexpectedly met Lu Zhan on her first day reporting to her father's office, which made her both surprised and nervous.
But Lu Zhan didn't seem to recognize her. He just greeted her lightly as "Doctor Fan" after her father introduced her. There was no warmth in his eyes as if he had seen an old acquaintance.
After not seeing each other for a few years, his face seemed to have become more stern and serious. When he led her to familiarize herself with the environment in the military area, he walked with a brisk pace and always led half of his body in front of her, leaving her with less than half of his face, of which she could only see his jawline.
She tried to bring up the Mengshan battlefield several times, but was blocked by his cold expression. Apart from introducing each location to her indifferently, he didn't seem to want to talk to her much.
Lu Zhan was very busy. After a quick walk around, he led her to the cadre department's office and handed her over to Yao Wenbin, asking him to be responsible for the subsequent handover of personnel files. He then turned around and left without looking back.
As surprised as Fan Shengnan was when she first saw him, she was also as disappointed at that moment. She didn't expect Lu Zhan to completely forget her.
But considering that they had only met briefly twice on the battlefield and there had been three years in between, it was understandable that he hadn't remembered it for a while.
Fan Shengnan comforted herself that they would have more opportunities to meet in the future, and maybe he would remember her one day.
Little did she know that day never came. She waited for so long that she was too embarrassed to even mention it.
Fan Shengnan has grown into a professional doctor who can stand on her own in her work, but every time she faces Lu Zhan and wants to recall the inexplicable throbbing in her heart as a girl, she seems to have become the nervous and unconfident Xiaolin.
Later, news began to spread in the military region that Captain Lu was going to get married.
After pretending to be calm and finishing her work for the day, she went home, closed the door, hid in her bed and cried all night.
After that night, the fact that she liked Lu Zhan would remain a secret in her heart forever and would never see the light of day again.
Fan Shengnan felt that she had hidden herself well and persisted well. Even before meeting Shao Jingque, she consciously maintained a relationship with Lu Zhan as an ordinary comrade-in-arms.
But today, Shao Jingque came to her office and told her the good news that Lu Zhan's hand could move again. He then hesitantly asked her whether she would suffer from memory loss after the brain hemorrhage surgery.
She heard something behind Shao Jingque's words, and asked a few more questions out of concern.
What she didn't expect was that Shao Jingque actually trusted her so much that he told her that Lu Zhan had forgotten about his fiancée.
Fan Shengnan was very surprised when she heard this. Generally speaking, there may be short-term memory loss after surgery, but it will usually recover gradually in a short period of time.
Since Lu Zhan's automatic surgery, his recovery in all aspects has been very good, and he has passed some basic tests smoothly. She had never expected that his memory would have the problem that Shao Jingque mentioned -
The current Lu Zhan remembers everything from the past, except Shao Jingque?
From a medical point of view, this is very unreasonable and more like a kind of selective amnesia. It usually only occurs in people who have suffered severe trauma and is an instinctive form of self-protection.
But according to Shao Jingque, she had never done anything to hurt Lu Zhan, so why would Lu Zhan choose to forget her?
However, what touched Fan Shengnan even more was that after Shao Jingque learned that Lu Zhan had forgotten her, she did not choose to escape because of sadness and anger, but stayed by his side as always to take care of him, and persistently asked him every day if he remembered her.
Shao Jingque's choice seemed to teach the timid "Xiao Lin" another lesson -
So what if others forget her?
If she cared, she could have been the one to take the initiative to remind.
So, when she came to the ward to check on Lu Zhan, she still wanted to ask the question that had been bothering her for many years.
Even though there is no possibility for her and Lu Zhan now, the memory of that time will always be an extremely precious time for her. The recognition and courage she gained during that time reshaped her and occupied a significant part in her life.
