“I’ll go with you to take a look. If your aunt and uncle aren’t here, you can ask the guards for help,” An’an said firmly.
He was getting impatient and wanted to go back to stay with his sister.
A flash of displeasure crossed Miao Ruzong's eyes, and he nodded: "Alright then!"
The two left the base hospital and headed towards Sector B.
An'an considerately supported Miao Ruzong's arm, while also keeping an eye out for any unexpected situations. But Miao felt that Shen Xubai could have easily taken him home to recuperate, yet insisted on sending him back. Indeed, the richer people are, the stingier they are.
An'an was too young to realize the deep jealousy hidden in his classmate Miao's heart. He thought that Miao would at least be grateful for saving his life.
In fact, Miao Ruzong was indeed grateful, but after the crisis was over, he inevitably thought of Shen Xubai's clean and efficient skills.
Miao Ruzong resented the injustice of the world, thinking, why is it that even though we both received the same education, I am inferior to the other? Why did such a calamity befall me, and I almost lost my eyes, while someone rushed up to shield Shen Qingyu from it?
Is it just because that girl is pretty?
And then there's Shen Xubai's father, who looks capable. Although he was all smiles and concern for him, he could sense that there was no real joy in the other man's eyes. He even offered to let Shen Xubai take him home, thus eliminating any chance for him to linger by Shen Xubai's side.
At this moment, Miao Ruzong especially wanted to go to the Shen family and see for himself everything the twins possessed. He could hardly suppress his jealousy.
Shen Yanming didn't take the injured boy seriously when he left, but soon after, he almost regretted it to death.
He successfully found Zhang Heping, only to discover that Zhang was completely out of sorts.
The hospital leaders knew what Zhang Heping was worried about, but no one dared to tell him to leave. There were too many patients; losing even one doctor could cause problems. Even if Zhang Heping was distracted and ineffective, he could still be called upon to save lives in a critical moment.
Shen Yanming's appearance brought a glimmer of hope to Zhang Heping's eyes. Their colleagues made room for them so they could talk.
"Old Shen, I'm panicking. Could you go back and check on my wife and daughter for me?" Zhang Heping asked earnestly.
Shen Yanming nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, I just came to check on you and then I'll go back to Area A right away."
"Alright, alright!" Zhang Heping finally felt a little relieved and asked him, "How did you get here? Who was injured?"
"Captain Qi's son is back. He got injured while saving Nuannuan, so Qiao An and I brought him over."
"Qi Lin? Isn't that child in the capital?"
"Yes, I don't know when they got back. I haven't had a chance to ask yet. By the way, that burn is miraculously effective when treated with the ice cubes that fell from the sky a few years ago. I got you two jars; keep them for future use."
As Shen Yanming spoke, he took out two plastic jars from his bag. Each jar contained seven or eight items. He also left him a packet of dried meat.
As they left, they comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, most of the injured are here. You didn't see the mother and daughter, so they're probably alright." Zhang Heping was so moved that he couldn't speak.
After Shen Yanming left, Zhang Heping felt much better and quickly threw himself into his work, relieving the base hospital of many difficult patients.
Shen Yanming went downstairs but didn't see An'an or that classmate Miao. He didn't think much of it and ran out of the hospital back to Area A.
When I passed by my own building, I even went in for a quick stop. I put a lot of food in my bag and then hurried over to Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong's house.
Ji Kangyong wasn't home, so Qin Yiren was hiding with her son at Li Wanwan's place. The little girl from the Zhang family was trembling with fear, nestled in Li Wanwan's arms and refusing to speak.
Shen Yanming's knock startled everyone. Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Yiren opened the door. Seeing Shen Yanming, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Let's check on you, see if you're injured."
"There were no injuries, but the children were terrified. My little Pidan is fine; he'll forget about it soon enough. Wanwan's little Dousha is more timid and hasn't recovered yet."
Shen Yanming nodded and took out a bunch of food from his bag. There were dried sweet potatoes, mung bean cakes, cream puffs, and cookies.
Neither Li Wanwan nor Qin Yiren asked where the items came from. They quickly packed the items into their bags and carried them on their backs.
Shen Yanming didn't say anything when he saw this, after all, he had just experienced a disaster and was still uneasy.
The two children's eyes lit up, but they didn't pounce on him like they used to. Shen Yanming clapped his hands, then opened them. Xiaodousha and Xiaopidan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out their little arms for Shen Yanming to hug them.
Old Shen scooped the two little ones into his arms, one in each hand. This feeling was so nostalgic. He hadn't held a child since An'an and Nuannuan grew up. This familiar touch even gave Shen Yanming the urge to have two more kids.
After coaxing the two children for a while, Xiaodousha and Xiaopidan became less tense. They became more lively, and Shen Yanming took out a bag of milk candy from his bag and handed it to the two mothers, asking them to watch over the children and give it to them.
After thanking Li Wanwan, Qin Yiren accepted the gift and fed a piece of candy to her child.
Little Red Bean Paste and Little Preserved Egg smiled with delight at the sweet taste. Shen Yanming said, "Heping is busy at the hospital, but he's fine there, so don't worry. Just take good care of yourselves. I'll go check on Zhaozhao and see if he needs any help."
Qin Yiren nodded, but didn't have many thoughts on it.
But Li Wanwan was different. She said excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Shen. I was just worried about that."
Shen Yanming shook his head: "It's true, don't worry. The fact that your brother and sister-in-law weren't at the hospital means they're probably alright."
"Yes, I know." Li Wanwan smiled, feeling that most of the gloom in her heart had dissipated.
"Then I'm leaving. If there's anything else... you two should look after each other and get out of here first. This is an ice pack from a few years ago. If anyone gets injured, take it out immediately, put it on the injured area through clean gauze, and then go to the hospital for further treatment."
Shen Yanming took out ice packs, gauze, and burn ointment from his backpack and said.
Qin Yiren and Li Wanwan smiled, indicating that they understood.
Shen Yanming turned to leave, and Qin Yiren called out as she watched his retreating figure, "If you see my husband, tell him to be careful."
Shen Yanming turned around, said, "I know!" and then left. He quickly arrived at Li Zhaozhao's place.
Li Zhaozhao was home today. When Shen Yanming arrived, he was arguing with Xu Yajing.
The matter is simple. Li Zhaozhao was worried about his younger sister and parents and wanted to go out to check on them to make sure they were safe. However, Xu Yajing, having survived the ordeal, was still frightened and clung to her baby, not wanting Li Zhaozhao to leave.
Unable to reach a consensus, the couple sulked in silence, occasionally exchanging verbal sparring.
