After Shen Yanming left, everyone looked at Bi Qiaoan with curiosity.
Bi Qiaoan understood what they meant, but there were some things she couldn't say.
So Xiaoxiao pointed to the storage box on the ground and said, "Yu Shui ordered millet porridge yesterday. It not only has red dates and lotus seeds, but also soybeans and peanuts. Let's heat it up and start eating."
Everyone understood that this was something that couldn't be said, so they started joking: "Is this a set meal upgrade? If I order soybean soup today, will there be an extra pig's trotter in it tomorrow?"
Bi Qiaoan's smile froze, but then she remembered that there were so many pig, cow, and sheep hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys in the space, and even brains, hooves, and tails were not lacking. So, upgrading soybean soup to soybean and pig's feet soup was not impossible!
However, let's wait for Shen Yanming to come back and discuss it with him before making a decision.
Bi Qiaoan's smile brightened, and she said, "You can look forward to it; maybe your dream will come true!"
Yu Shui and the others all thought Bi Qiaoan was joking and didn't take it seriously at all. They just nodded in agreement without paying any attention.
Bi Qiaoan didn't mind; she put the casserole on the stove.
After waiting for the porridge in the pot to heat up, I ladled out a bowl of it and then we ate lunch together.
At this time, Shen Yanming found Old Master Lin in the hospital cafeteria.
Just as Old Master Lin put down his rice bowl, Shen Yanming arrived with a guard.
The arrival of Shen Yanming and his guards startled the doctors and nurses who were eating in the restaurant.
That uniform, that imposing presence—if it weren't for the other person's humble and polite demeanor, they would have really thought that Old Master Lin had done something wrong.
Grandpa Lin stared blankly at the two of them, wondering what they wanted from him and why they had followed him all the way to the restaurant.
Shen Yanming only said one word: "book," and Old Master Lin immediately understood what was going on.
He hurriedly finished his lunch and then took the two of them back to his office.
On the way, Grandpa Lin asked, "How did you come up with the idea of finding me at the restaurant?"
"We saw that your office was locked, and you didn't answer our calls, so we asked a nurse."
She said that at this time you might be eating at the restaurant, or if you're not, you've either gone back to your dorm or home.
"So, we thought we'd try looking in restaurants," Shen Yanming replied.
Grandpa Lin patted his pockets and realized he really hadn't taken his phone; it seemed he'd left it in the clinic.
The group returned to the office as quickly as possible. Without saying a word, the guard took out an agreement from his backpack and asked Old Master Lin to sign it.
This wasn't the first time he'd signed such an agreement; he knew the rules, so after a quick glance, he signed his name.
After the guards put the agreement away, Shen Yanming took out a photocopy of an ancient book from his bag and handed it to Old Master Lin, saying, "It wasn't convenient to take it out originally, but you can take a look at this. The content is exactly the same!"
Grandpa Lin took the book with both hands, his eyes shining. He quickly flipped through a few pages and said, "It's alright, it's alright, this is fine!"
Shen Yanming nodded and was about to say goodbye to Old Master Lin.
Only then did Grandpa Lin calm down from the surprise of receiving the gift.
He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, it's the middle of the day and I can't invite you to have lunch here. Although there is a restaurant in the hospital, it has a rule that non-staff members are not allowed to dine there."
“It’s alright, I’ve prepared lunch. I’ll take this guard there to eat in a bit. You’ve just eaten, so why don’t you rest for a while? Don’t bother seeing him off, it’s not far,” Shen Yanming said.
Grandpa Lin didn't stand on ceremony and waved his hand, "Then you can go back now. Remember to bring your wife next time you come, because it's been a while since she had a follow-up appointment."
Shen Yanming nodded and left.
On the way, although the guard felt it was inappropriate, he still asked, "Mr. Shen, is your wife Dr. Lin's patient?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "My wife is pregnant, and Grandpa Lin took her pulse."
"Oh!" The guard nodded, thinking to himself, "Thank goodness he's not sick."
The two returned to Jiarun Residential Area by the same route. After getting out of the car, Shen Yanming invited the other party to stay and have lunch together.
The guard was somewhat surprised. "You weren't just fooling Old Master Lin, were you?"
Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled. Without saying whether he was fooling Old Master Lin, he directly pulled the other party into the tent and asked him to sit down by the stove and wait.
Then he introduced him to everyone, saying that this was his friend who had just helped him with some errands and was now staying for lunch.
Yu Shui, Li Yinhe, Cui Xian, and Chen Qing all looked embarrassed because they had just finished drinking the millet porridge.
Even the portion served in advance was only a small bowl; how could Shen Yanming possibly invite his friends to dinner?
Seeing that everyone's laughter was unnatural, Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan, who then whispered the reason in his ear.
"Ha, I see!" Shen Yanming laughed, then said to everyone, "It's alright, that was prepared for you. My friend and I will just cook some noodles."
Then he went back to the car and took out two packs of noodles, a pack of dehydrated vegetables, and a bottle of seasoning from a cardboard box in the trunk.
When Shen Yanming returned with the items, everyone was stunned.
They never expected Comrade Shen to do something like this.
"Yanming, why did you leave these things in the car?" Cui Xian asked curiously.
"It's better to be prepared! Keeping some food and drinks in the car is just in case Qiao An and I go to an unfamiliar place and can't find food, so we can cook some noodles." Shen Yanming said matter-of-factly, "That way we won't go hungry!"
Actually, he was just making it up, because both of their belongings were stored in their personal space, so they didn't need to carry them around.
However, at this moment, he needs some reasons to support his argument and convince everyone.
No one doubted it, after all, they had already witnessed his and Bi Qiaoan's "moving" skills, and the two storage boxes in the tent were the best proof.
However, they took Shen Yanming's casual, fabricated words to heart and decided to follow suit, storing enough supplies in the car to last at least one or two months.
Shen Yanming was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't go back on his word since he had already spoken.
So he reminded them, "It's winter now, so if you put food in there, it can still be stored."
But in the summer, the car gets extremely hot, and everything will decompose faster. Don't be silly and put all sorts of things in there then.
Yu Shui nodded after listening and said, "Old Shen, tell us, besides food, what else do we need to prepare?"
Shen Yanming thought to himself, "I freaking don't know either!"
But he didn't show it on his face; instead, his mind raced, and he said, "Tent, blankets, flashlight, safety rope, pots and pans, knife..."
It was a jumbled mess, but basically it was just a recounting of the escape equipment.
