Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "I'm fine, no need to make a fuss. But Comrade Zhang Heping, even if you're feeling emotional, please try to control yourself. You know, Yanming's wife is right here."
Zhang Heping blushed with embarrassment, chuckling, "Sorry, Qiao An, I was just too excited. I'll be fine after that. By the way, where have you guys been all this time?"
After saying that, he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot we're still at the door. Come in and sit down, let's chat."
Then he opened the door, invited the two in, and closed it again to block out any prying eyes from the outside world.
Shen Yanming didn't beat around the bush and explained the two of them's activities this month, as well as their initial concerns.
After hearing this, Zhang Heping repeatedly expressed his amazement, never expecting his friend to have such an experience.
However, after hearing it, I can understand why they disappeared after they went there.
He grabbed Shen Yanming's hand and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I don't care, you have to link my account this time no matter what, otherwise I'll get anxious and worried if I can't find you next time."
Shen Yanming did not refuse, and smiled as he opened his smart bracelet, performing a series of operations while waiting for Zhang Heping's signal to connect.
Zhang sat in the chair, bent his right ankle and put it on his left leg, then turned on his smart bracelet and put his face close to the small screen, almost kissing his foot.
Hmm, it smells a bit...
Bi Qiaoan found it amusing and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Zhang Heping wasn't embarrassed when he heard this. Instead, he openly showed it to her, saying, "I've become famous in the hospital because of this anklet. They all affectionately call me 'the handsome doctor with the anklet.'"
"None of them are wearing them?" Shen Yanming was somewhat surprised, thinking that after this incident, everyone would have changed in some way.
Zhang Heping nodded. "Our job is too special. We can't wear them on our hands, and many people can't wear them on their feet. Besides, some people don't like all this stuff. They just turn the bracelet on and keep it in their dorm room or desk, taking it out to look at it occasionally."
Shen Yanming frowned, but he couldn't force anything. He could only say, "After hearing my story about Suzhou, you should understand the importance of the bracelet now."
I can't control them, but I hope that even if you don't turn it on normally, you'll always wear it. In case of danger, it's your last resort.
Zhang Heping rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Have you forgotten that this thing can't be removed without special tools?"
Shen Yanming had completely forgotten about that, and blurted it out in the heat of the moment.
He felt a little embarrassed, but he kept a straight face and didn't let his emotions show. He made an excuse and said, "I'm just afraid that one day you might have a change of heart and go to the guard to take off the bracelet. Besides, this size is obviously not right. Look at your ankles, they're all rubbed red."
"I was tricked into wearing it by you, who knew it would be so tight."
What Zhang Heping didn't say was that he really wanted to go to the guard team to remove it.
There was no way around it; this thing was originally made according to the circumference of an adult male's wrist, but his ankle was obviously much thicker than his wrist. It was only because he was thin that he could barely wear it, even though it was just a little tight.
But it's super uncomfortable to wear, it hurts my muscles and bones. Otherwise, I wouldn't often roll up my pants leg and rub the muscles around my ankle. After people noticed, they jokingly called me the "ankle god".
However, he was too busy with work recently and hasn't had time to put it into action yet.
Seeing Zhang Heping's sorrowful expression, Shen Yanming didn't know what was wrong with him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "When I get back, I'll report the issue of the smart bracelets not being suitable for special groups and see if the expert team can resolve it."
Zhang Heping nodded hurriedly, thinking that if it could really solve the problem, it would be a great help to him.
Unlike others who took a chance and thought the bracelet was optional, he and his friends were used to preparing in advance to avoid being caught off guard and having no time to deal with things when something happened.
After the conversation ended, Shen Yanming asked Zhang Heping, "Is Grandpa Lin here? Qiao An hasn't had a prenatal checkup in a long time, so I'd like him to take her pulse first."
"Why didn't you say you came early so you could have a prenatal checkup?"
Shen Yanming was a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to let you know I'm safe. I'll bring Qiao An over tomorrow morning when everything is ready."
Thinking to myself, I can't say that they came back yesterday, nor can I say that they were ignoring time by climbing up and down in the space mountain, so I can only use the most ordinary excuse to fob them off.
Zhang Heping didn't say whether he believed it or not, but only reminded her: "Prenatal checkups will be more frequent in the late stages of pregnancy, especially since your partner is carrying twins. You have to be careful, otherwise she might just disappear like this time."
Shen Yanming nodded, indicating that he had learned something. Then he followed Zhang Heping to find Old Master Lin.
The old man didn't ask too many questions. After all, they weren't close enough to know that the two of them had gone to the disaster area. He just assumed that the two of them were busy with work and hadn't come over recently.
After taking the baby's pulse and confirming that the baby was fine, the old man gave some instructions, and then the group said their goodbyes.
Zhang Heping saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan off at the building entrance, and shouted at their backs as they were about to get into the car, "You two come early tomorrow, and bring me some good food while you're at it."
Shen Yanming turned around and saw the man smiling obsequiously at him. He waved his hand dismissively and then strode away with his wife.
Seeing that everyone had disappeared, Zhang Heping smiled and returned to his office, surprising the doctors and nurses who passed by. They wondered what good news could have brought a smile to Dr. Zhang's face after he had been gloomy for more than half a month.
However, no one answered.
Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to the police station, and before they even got out of the car, they saw Ji Kangyong, who had just returned from his duty.
He parked the car in front of the police station, helped Bi Qiaoan inside, and Ji Kangyong was stunned when he saw who it was.
However, being a man of few words, he glanced at them briefly and then asked in a calm yet caring voice, "You're back?"
Shen Yanming nodded without offering further explanation.
The fact that he even asked that question indicates he had heard some rumors and made some guesses, but he didn't publicize them because he couldn't confirm them. Now that he's met him in person and confirmed his suspicions, there's even less need to delve deeper.
Ji Kangyong welcomed the two into his office, briefly explained the recent situation in Shanghai, and then inquired about Shen Yanming's current situation in Suzhou. After exchanging a few words, the two prepared to say goodbye.
After leaving the police station, Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming, "Next, are we going to the Li family?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "I'm not going. They might not even know we left, so there's no need to make a special trip to tell them."
"Um!"
That's what happens when you don't live together; even the best relationships grow distant because of each other's living spaces.
"However, Zhao Zhao and Wan Wan both work in the labor service team, so we will have plenty of opportunities to meet them in the future."
