The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, all heading in the same direction, except Xu Zhiyi, who was going in the opposite direction, seeming a little out of place.
After Xu Zhiyi arrived at the hospital and handed over his shift, he stayed in the office and ate the dried meat he had just made that day.
“Knock knock.”
Xu Zhiyi quickly put down the dried meat in his hand and wiped his mouth, "Come in."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the person who walked in and asked in surprise, "Why are you here at this hour?"
"I miss you."
Xu Zhiyi muttered, "Missed me? Humph, men's words can be deceiving. If you missed me, why didn't you show up for the past few days? Why didn't you come to see me today when I was home during the day? Why did you come when I was on night shift?"
"What did you say?"
Xu Zhiyi turned his head and whispered, "Nothing."
Qin Zheng explained, "Our school had a competition a few days ago, so I didn't have time to come see you. I came to the hospital right after it ended this afternoon. It's a pity I didn't see you. The comrades in your department said you were on night shift today, so I waited until now."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the dark circles under Qin Zheng's eyes, his face full of worry, "Really?"
"Really, I didn't lie to you." After saying that, Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi with his dark pupils. His eyes were like a pitiful little puppy, as if saying: Believe me, I didn't lie.
"Then you can't just disappear or reappear suddenly. Your status is different now. You have a partner. You should think more about your partner."
"I know it's my fault this time, and it won't happen again."
"Okay then, I forgive you."
Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi looked at each other with a smile, but the originally beautiful picture was abruptly broken by the "gurgling" sound.
Qin Zheng's face flushed. "I...I haven't eaten since this morning, and I'm a little hungry. Are you hungry? I'll go buy you something. You work the night shift, so you'll definitely be hungry in the middle of the night."
"No, I brought food. And I have plenty of snacks. You don't have to buy food, I brought too much today."
"No, I have a big appetite. What if I eat too much and you don't have enough to eat? Wait here, I'll be back soon."
Xu Zhiyi looked at Qin Zheng's back and said, "It's really enough to eat. Aunt Sun was afraid that I would be hungry, so she brought me enough food for almost two people. I also got dried meat, meat sauce, biscuits, bread, and instant noodles."
When I saw Qin Zheng again, he was holding three lunch boxes and had returned to the hospital. Seeing that there were still patients in the department, he sat outside and waited. Qin Zheng was afraid that the food would get cold, so he kept it in his arms to keep it warm.
Qin Zheng didn't come in until the patient left.
"Why did you just come back? Where did you go to buy food?"
"I saw a patient, so I waited outside for a while."
"You don't have to be like this. You're my girlfriend, so just come in. This isn't confidential, so you don't have to avoid it."
"Okay." Qin Zheng took out the lunch box from his arms and said, "Zhiyi, you must be hungry. Let's eat."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the lunch box Qin Zheng took out from his arms and whispered, "Fool."
Xu Zhiyi brought scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised fish today, and Qin Zheng bought a portion of braised pork and vegetables.
Xu Zhiyi picked up a piece of fish and put it in Qin Zheng's lunch box. "Sun Ma's fish is very delicious. Come and try it."
Qin Zheng took a bite and said, "It's delicious." Then he picked up a piece for Xu Zhiyi.
After the two of them finished their meal, Xu Zhiyi looked at Qin Zheng, who was sitting on the needle, and asked, "Are you not going home tonight?"
"We just finished a game, so we have a day off. I've already taken a leave this afternoon, so I don't have to go back. Can I stay with you in the hospital tonight? I won't disturb you, I just want to spend more time with you."
"Okay, then if you're tired, go to our duty room and rest. There's only one nurse and doctor on night shift, so there aren't many people."
Suddenly, there was silence in the office and outside the corridor.
Xu Zhiyi put down the document in his hand that was trying to hide his embarrassment and said, "Ahem, Qin Zheng, can you tell me about your previous unit?"
"Okay. My previous unit was in the port commune under Wei County, Wei City, Shandong Province. The unit was by the sea, and across the sea were other countries. The people in the family compound and the people from the nearby brigades would go to the sea to catch fish. It was very poor there, unlike the prosperous city. However, it was fortunate that I was assigned there in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, get a promotion and a raise so quickly, or have the opportunity to study at the military academy, and I wouldn't have met you."
"So, what are your plans for the future? You have two years until your mission is complete. Will you stay here, return to your original unit, or be reassigned?"
"Zhiyi, I've thought about what you said to me last time. I want to protect you, so I probably won't stay in the military academy. As for where to go, I'll follow the leader's arrangements."
Xu Zhiyi nodded.
Qin Zheng asked in a panic, "Zhiyi, do you want to leave? Do you want to join the army with me?"
"My father is old, my uncles have all passed away, and my younger brother will be old enough to join the army next year, so I'll be the only one left at home. Of course I want to be with my father, but I'm afraid that being with him will bring him trouble. After all, my identity is special and my background is complicated. So, I really hope to go with you to join the army. But I still need to discuss this matter with my father."
The moment Qin Zheng heard Xu Zhiyi say yes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he cheered in his heart: Zhiyi is willing, willing to go with me to join the army, and willing to marry me.
Qin Zheng stayed with Xu Zhiyi in the hospital for one night. The department was unusually quiet that night, as if it had been agreed in advance. No one came to disturb Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng.
Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng talked until midnight. Qin Zheng learned about Xu Zhiyi's college life and life abroad. Xu Zhiyi also knew everything about Qin Zheng from the time he was born to the present. He really explained everything clearly and plainly!
