Chapter 39
After dinner, we still had more than two hours to go to our destination.
Jiang Zhinian felt sleepy after eating and shrunk his neck in the chair.
Shi Ye came back after throwing away the garbage, took out a shawl from his backpack and covered Jiang Zhinian with it.
"If you feel sleepy, lean on my shoulder." His tone was very soft when he said this.
Jiang Zhinian had no way to refuse Shi Ye. Although she told herself not to be greedy, she still approached cautiously and put her arm around Shi Ye's arm.
Shi Ye is very tall, and the height difference when sitting makes the angle of leaning just right a comfortable position.
Shi Ye reached out to help Jiang Zhinian adjust the position of her scarf, then picked up his phone and started reading.
Jiang Zhinian felt the strength of the muscles in his arms, and quietly opened one eye. He found that the book Shi Ye was reading this time did not seem to be in English, but densely packed with Chinese.
…
When I woke up, it was already dark.
"Are we almost there?"
"Twenty minutes left."
Jiang Zhinian felt embarrassed to stay on Shi Ye, so he supported himself with his arms and sat up straight.
"Hello, I'm sorry, I have something to trouble you with."
The mother in the front seat stood up holding the child, walked to Shi Ye's side, and looked at Jiang Zhinian with an apologetic look on her face.
The child in her arms seemed to be asleep. Jiang Zhinian nodded and asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, it's like this. I went out alone, and my stomach...my stomach hurt a little, so I needed to go to the bathroom. I wanted to wait for the conductor, but after waiting for a long time, no one came. I really...could you please hold the baby for me? I'll be out soon. Sorry."
She looked very embarrassed and her face was slightly red. It was obvious that if she hadn't really been unable to help herself, she would not have let a stranger help her look after her child.
Jiang Zhinian stood up and bent down to pick up the child: "Okay, go ahead."
Shi Ye raised his hand: "Give it to me."
It is obvious that the mother is a little resistant to strange men.
Jiang Zhinian explained: "He is my...we are together. He is a doctor, you can rest assured."
The mother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and carefully placed the child in Shi Ye's hands. After making sure that the child was not awake, she rushed to the bathroom.
Jiang Zhinian sat down slowly, and for the first time, he felt so clearly in his mind the difficulty of raising a child alone.
If she had chosen to raise the child herself, she might be like this mother when taking the child out, unable to even go to the toilet.
She sighed and focused on the child.
What surprised her was that Shi Ye's posture of holding the child was very standard, except... a little stiff, as if he was holding a gas tank.
However, he had long arms and big palms, so he held the baby very steadily. Jiang Zhinian leaned over and saw that the baby was sleeping very soundly, completely unaware that the person holding him was a stranger.
It seems that Shi Ye has an aura that makes children feel safe.
Noticing that Jiang Zhinian was looking at him, Shi Ye lowered his head, raised his eyebrows and asked her what was wrong.
Jiang Zhinian thought for a moment, then leaned close to his ear and whispered warmly, "I just think... you'd be a good father."
…
After Bao Ma came back from the toilet, she thanked Shi Ye and Jiang Zhinian repeatedly.
There were still 5 minutes until the station arrived, and Shi Ye stood up to pack his things.
The mother looked back at Jiang Shiye while holding the child. "Is he your boyfriend? He's so handsome, has a good personality, and is considerate of you. He was afraid that you would get tired holding the child, so he rushed to hold the child himself. When you two get married and have children, he will definitely treat you well."
Jiang Zhinian smiled shyly, not wanting to say that they were already married.
"We're already married." Shi Ye put the bag on his shoulder and spoke, which was rare.
"Ah, married, sorry, sorry, I didn't notice it just now."
Shi Ye asked her seriously, "Why didn't you see it?"
"Ah... Oh, maybe it's..." The mother was a little at a loss for words. Most people would not continue asking further questions, but she didn't expect to meet someone who was more picky today.
You can't say that because you're handsome, you look like a playboy who plays around with the world, and you don't look like the type who would marry young and settle down.
She glanced around and suddenly thought of a reason: "Because... neither of you are wearing wedding rings."
Shi Ye looked down at his fingers, as if he suddenly realized that he should wear a wedding ring after getting married.
…
After getting off the high-speed rail, I took a taxi to the hotel.
Zheng Chengfei was responsible for assigning rooms with room cards. When it was Shi Ye's turn, he blinked and then stuffed two room cards into his hands.
After everyone returned to their rooms, he went to the front desk and slowly booked a king-size room.
Tsk, someone treated me to a double bed room, so nice.
He originally thought that Shi Ye would bring his family over and book a king-size room for himself, leaving him alone in an empty room, sleeping in a double room.
I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to me in the end.
…
As soon as he entered the room, Shi Ye received a call from his tutor.
"I have something to do in the main building. I might be back very late tonight. Don't wait for me. Go to bed first."
Jiang Zhinian had just untied her ponytail and was combing her hair: "Okay, I'm sleepy too, I'll take a shower and go to bed later."
Shi Ye walked all the way to the main building in the night breeze, and happened to meet his mentor talking to a group of foreigners at the hotel entrance.
"Dr. Wen, your discovery is very meaningful to us. Regarding the data you mentioned last time, I hope you can share more information with us during this meeting..."
Wen Zhao, who is over fifty but looks no more than forty, responded in fluent English, "Of course, we are attending this international conference with the intention of communicating and learning, and we are very much looking forward to seeing your research reports."
He saw Shi Ye approaching from the corner of his eye and waved at him: "This is the student I mentioned last time, Shi Ye. The data set you are interested in was produced by him. If there is a chance in the future, you may wish to communicate more."
"Oh, your last name is Shi, is it the Shi of time?
"Yes, you also know his mother, Shi Mei."
"Oh, it's Dr. Shi's son. I still remember her charming demeanor when I met her ten years ago..."
Shi Ye stood aside, listened calmly to the conversation of several people, and then followed Wen Zhao into the hotel.
"I have to thank Dr. Philip. If it weren't for their strong protest with the International Medical Association, my report might have been replaced by someone else."
The last flying knife incident wasn't a big deal, but the timing was perfect; it happened just a few days before this meeting was to begin.
The hospital originally wanted him to stay out of the spotlight and not participate in the report at this meeting, but just attend.
Fortunately, he had published several sets of data before, which attracted the attention of many medical associations around the world. They were all very interested in the content of his report this time, which is why he was able to secure his place.
"Do you know who reported it?"
Wen Zhao shook his head. "Someone did instigate that family, but the county hospital questioned them for a long time, and they refused to speak. They just said they saw it online and wanted money."
"Teacher, do you regret it?"
Wen Zhao was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's just saving someone, what's there to regret?"
He patted Shi Ye's shoulder and said, "Let's go. There are a few places in the information that need to be adjusted. Can you help me translate it?"
