The next morning.
The two were preparing to go to the hospital for a medical check-up.
Qin Ye sneaked back to the Qin family home from his single dormitory before dawn.
Soon, clanging and banging sounds filled the kitchen.
Su Tang was woken up by the noise. She slipped on her shoes and came out to see Qin Ye wearing her small floral apron, clumsily busying himself in front of the stove.
Millet porridge was simmering in the pot, and two freshly fried eggs, runny and golden, were placed in a small dish next to it.
There were also a few slices of steamed bun that he had toasted until... well, one side was a little charred, and the other side was still white.
Su Tang felt both annoyed and amused. This guy was really... honest.
"What are you doing?"
She leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, and asked.
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Ye turned around abruptly, his tall figure resembling a big child who had done something wrong.
"You're awake? I... I'll make you breakfast."
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Try it, millet porridge with two poached eggs."
Su Tang walked over, picked up her chopsticks, took a small piece of steamed bun, and put it in her mouth.
It's a bit hard and has a slightly burnt smell.
But she still smiled and said, "It's delicious."
She scooped up another spoonful of millet porridge, blew on it, and fed it to his mouth: "You should try it too, it's Chef Qin's cooking."
Qin Ye obediently opened his mouth and ate.
The porridge was cooked to perfection, and the poached egg was tender and smooth.
Su Tang ate to her heart's content.
This man, though usually serious and unsmiling, showed a heart that warmed my soul more than any delicacy.
After breakfast, the two went out together.
Sunlight filtered through the old trees in the courtyard, casting dappled shadows that fell warmly on the two of them.
Qin Ye insisted on taking Su Tang to the hospital by bicycle.
He polished that slightly worn-out old bicycle until it shone.
Su Tang sat in the back seat and gently put her arm around his waist.
As they traveled along, they attracted the attention of many medical staff who were going to work early in the morning and military dependents who were out buying groceries.
"Hey, isn't that Commander Qin?"
"Yes, yes, isn't that his newlywed wife sitting in the back? She's really pretty!"
"Tsk tsk, Commander Qin really dotes on his wife, he even personally drives her to work."
The murmurs were neither too loud nor too soft, and Su Tang couldn't help but smile as she listened.
Qin Ye, on the other hand, kept his eyes straight ahead, his back ramrod straight, and rode steadily.
Su Tang chuckled inwardly. This guy was clearly pleased with himself, but he was pretending to be so serious.
The two were walking towards the medical examination department.
At this moment, in the surgical office of the military hospital.
Yan Manman was surrounded by several new intern nurses, treated like a star.
Yan Manman was spreading rumors to the two new nurses.
"I heard that in a few days some capitalist's daughter will get in through connections. She doesn't even have a medical license..."
A young nurse asked timidly:
"Dr. Yan, are you talking about... Comrade Su Tang, Commander Qin's girlfriend? We heard that she was specially recruited by the hospital director because of her excellent medical skills..."
"You're listening to their nonsense," Yan Manman retorted.
