The next day, Xie Heng got up early with dark circles under his eyes, bought some candy and went to the military hospital.
Zhang Yumei was working when someone slapped her and said, "Yumei, look quickly, isn't that Captain Xie?"
When Zhang Yumei heard "Xie Heng", she immediately looked up and ran out.
"Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
Xie Heng held the things in his hand in front of Zhang Yumei. "Our military academy is closed today. I haven't come to see you at your workplace yet. Since I have some free time today, I bought some of your favorite food and came to see you."
"Xie Heng, you are so nice."
"Xie Heng, you didn't get up so early to buy it for me, did you? You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
Xie Heng comforted her, "I'll go eat in a bit. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
"Xie Heng, how about I take you to our hospital cafeteria for breakfast?"
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"Today is Saturday, and the head nurse is not at work. Come on, I'll take you to breakfast."
At the same time, in the surgical department, the people who came to work today were stunned when they saw Qin Zheng.
"Zhiyi, why did Captain Qin come so early?"
"By the way, Zhiyi. Captain Qin came to the hospital to look for you yesterday afternoon. We told him you were on the night shift, and then he left."
Xu Zhiyi answered in his heart: He didn't leave. He stayed in the hospital for an afternoon and another night.
"Okay, I've finished my shift, and I'm leaving."
"Let's go quickly, don't keep Captain Qin waiting anxiously."
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi who was slowly walking towards him and said with a smile, "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat, and then we'll go to the movies."
"good."
It was working hours in the cafeteria, and apart from those getting off the night shift, there was almost no one else. Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng had just walked into the cafeteria when they saw Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi in the empty cafeteria.
"Yumei, I saw Qin Zheng. He and I share the same dormitory, and we're from the same village. Let's go over and say hello."
Although Zhang Yumei was somewhat reluctant, she still walked over obediently.
"Qin Zheng, what a coincidence, you are also in the hospital! Qin Zheng, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Xu Zhiyi frowned, feeling a little disgusted when she thought of the way he looked at her that night at the social gathering.
"Hello, I'm Xu Zhiyi, Qin Zheng's girlfriend."
"Hello, I'm Xie Heng. I don't know if Qin Zheng has told you about me. I'm Qin Zheng's roommate and we're from the same village. What a coincidence, let's sit together."
Seeing that Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, Xie Heng pulled Zhang Yumei to sit down. Who would have thought that as soon as the two of them sat down, Xie Heng's mouth would chatter non-stop.
"Qin Zheng, have you told your father about your relationship with this comrade? It's a coincidence that my father called me yesterday afternoon and asked how I was doing. I couldn't help but tell him about your happy news of finding a partner. Qin Zheng, you won't blame me for being nosy, will you?
Qin Zheng, I'm not saying anything to you, brother. You're dating Comrade Xu, why didn't you tell your family? You've made them worry about you at such an old age. This is really wrong!"
Xu Zhiyi looked at Xie Heng and said calmly, "Qin Zheng never talks about others when he's with me, because he knows that talking about people behind their backs is ungentlemanly. If someone with ulterior motives overhears it and spreads it, it will only end up hurting others and yourself."
Zhang Yumei already disliked Xu Zhiyi and angrily asked, "Xu Zhiyi, what do you mean by this? Can you speak properly? Xie Heng only means well. We're worried that Qin Zheng is just toying with you. Otherwise, why didn't he tell his family that you two are dating? I'm afraid he's just guilty."
Xie Heng tugged at Zhang Yumei's sleeve. "Yumei, don't say that. I was inconsiderate in this matter after all. Qin Zheng, I apologize to you here."
"That's enough, Xie Heng. Although you and I have known each other since childhood, what happened between me and Zhiyi is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. You are neither my superior nor my family, so why should I tell you?"
Qin Zheng continued to explain, "And how do you know my father doesn't know? From the first day Zhiyi and I were together, I wrote a letter to my family to tell them. Your father didn't tell you because my family didn't make it public. After all, this is my family's business and has nothing to do with the brigade."
Xie Heng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're right, I was too talkative."
After Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng left, Zhang Yumei was completely furious. "Xie Heng, they are really going too far. We are just being kind, how can they say that? Xie Heng, sooner or later, you will climb higher and go further than Qin Zheng. When that happens, we will deal with them."
"Yumei, you are so kind. Yumei, I was the one who said this in the end, and Qin Zheng said I was right."
"Humph, he's just an unlucky guy, just like a grasshopper in autumn, he won't be able to jump for long."
Since Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei started dating, he'd always heard her boast about how great he'd be in the future. He'd originally thought she was just trying to comfort him, but now he was starting to believe it.
"Yumei, will I really be more powerful than Qin Zheng in the future? Will Qin Zheng really die?"
Zhang Yumei said proudly, "Of course, you don't believe what I say?"
"No, I naturally believe what you say."
Xie Heng continued, "But Yumei, Qin Zheng now has Commander Xu's family backing him up, so he will definitely be able to stay in the capital. I'm afraid you'll be wronged by then.
Yumei, can you ask your uncle to help me? My training will be finished in a year, and I want to stay in the capital. Can you ask your uncle to think of a solution?
"Yumei, think about it, I'm in the capital, which is good for both you and me. This way, you can come home whenever you want, and our children will still be city dwellers in the future."
Zhang Yumei shook her head. "Xie Heng, don't you want to be promoted?"
"I want to, of course I do. But in this capital city filled with talented people, what ability or power do I have to help me get promoted?"
"Xie Heng, you've made so many contributions in your previous unit. You can only imagine how great that place is. If you return after further training, won't your rank be promoted? You also have connections in your previous unit. If you make another contribution, won't you be able to move up even further, perhaps even faster than others? If you stay at the military academy, I'm afraid you'll see the end of your career. It's better to go back."
Xie Heng somewhat agreed with Zhang Yumei's words. "Yumei, I'm so lucky to have you. I'll think about what you said."
Zhang Yumei blushed as she watched Xie Heng's thoughtful care for her. She resented herself: Why had she been so blind in her previous life? Why hadn't she seen the good in Xie Heng? If only she and Xie Heng had been in love for their entire lives, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
Fortunately, he was reborn, and this time he would use his memories from his previous life to plan well for Xie Heng.
Recalling the turmoil of June in his previous life, if Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi had been together, and if they had stayed in the capital, they would have been arrested. Qin Zheng would have died even faster than in his previous life, and would have been brought down even faster. That way, Qin Zheng would no longer be a hindrance to Xie Heng.
