Women who have given birth seem to undergo a complete transformation, even Zhen Tian, who looks like a child who has never grown up. After giving birth to Chu Nuan, the baby fat on her face gradually disappeared, and her facial features became softer.
She accompanied Ji Yuzhi to the event today, wearing a low-key black dress. It wasn't a new dress; she had worn it before.
But now it seems to have gained a touch of elegance out of nowhere.
Ji Yuzhi walked to the back and greeted his superiors. His eyes kept drifting towards the seats below.
Zhen Tian was sitting in her seat, playing with Chu Nuan, and occasionally responding to the group of older women around her.
He turned his gaze away with a faint smile and listened carefully to the words of the person beside him.
The venue was noisy, and Zhen Tian could only see Ji Yuzhi's blurry figure through the crowd.
She glanced at it twice and then looked away.
The little one in my arms was a bit restless, but thankfully he didn't cry or fuss; he was just curious about his surroundings.
The vaccine is already under intensive development and administration.
In a few days, they will go to the drug administration to buy the medication and then go to the hospital for injections.
The reason why this vaccine can only be purchased directly by individuals from the drug administration is to prevent anyone from interfering, as mentioned before.
Ten o'clock arrived quickly.
The venue was also quieted down by those maintaining order.
The meetings and press conferences they hold in their capacity are subject to special regulations.
So today's commendation meeting looked no different from previous press conferences, the only difference being that the venue was filled with red ribbons and floral balls.
It has a sense of history yet also carries a special symbolism.
Many heroes of the battle were honored in this ceremony.
To Zhen Tian's surprise, she saw her eldest brother Zhen Yan and third brother Lu Yiran before Ji Yuzhi appeared.
Zhen Yan accepted the award as a representative of the hospital.
Lu Yiran, however, was different. He was recognized as an individual, as an outstanding scientific research expert, for being the first to discover the antigen in this battle and for his team being the first to invent the vaccine.
Zhen Tian's palms turned red from clapping.
Not satisfied with just taking pictures halfway through, she even grabbed Xiao Chu Nuan's hand and started taking pictures herself.
“Xiao Nuan, look! That’s Uncle! Uncle, Uncle!” Zhen Tian waved Chu Nuan’s little hands.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
"Yes, yes, it's my uncle!"
Zhen Tian's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
"Next, we present awards to the heroes who made outstanding contributions to this battle. It is thanks to their tireless efforts that we were able to..."
The commendation ceremony continued. Zhen Tian, from a distance, grabbed Chu Nuan's hand and waved vigorously to Lu Yiran, who was standing on either side of her, to greet him.
"Uncle wants to see Chu Nuan. Let's go see him later, okay?"
As Zhen Tian was teasing Ji Chunuan, Ji Yuzhi's name was called on stage.
Like her mother, Chu Nuan, nestled in her arms, raised her head when she heard the voice. It was unclear whether this was truly a reaction to hearing her father's name.
However, the movements of the two people, one large and one small, were surprisingly synchronized.
"Ji Yuzhi!"
Zhen Tian's gaze followed his figure. He was still wearing the suit that she had ironed herself, and he strode confidently toward the stage step by step.
"Hello everyone, I am Ji Yuzhi. Standing on this stage to receive such an award, I feel guilty. Rather than receiving this honor myself, I would like to share this honor with every one of you in our country, those of you who have made efforts and changes during the pandemic. If it weren't for the unity and cooperation of the entire nation, we wouldn't have achieved such success..."
Zhen Tian had seen him standing on the stage, speaking eloquently, countless times.
But this time was different; he wore a red and gold sash over his black suit and a gleaming gold badge on his chest.
The gold seemed to have been sprinkled on him, casting a halo of light and shadow around him.
He shines as long as he's on stage.
The awards ceremony wasn't as long-winded as a celebrity awards banquet. It only lasted an hour and a half.
This level of meeting will be broadcast live on CCTV-1.
After the commendation ceremony ended, the television station cut off the signal.
The venue returned to its noisy state.
The dozen or so machines set up by Zhou were being quickly organized by staff. The scene was complex yet orderly.
The audience members sitting below are not ordinary people, so there is no danger whatsoever. The current security level is also exceptional.
Zhen Tian picked up Chu Nuan, and since she hadn't worn high heels for a long time, it was a bit difficult for her to carry Chu Nuan.
Fortunately, she adapted quickly.
She avoided the crowd and walked in a big circle to Zhen Yan and Lu Yiran on the side of the stage.
"Big brother, third brother!"
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since we last met.
So much happened this year.
"Sweetie!" Lu Yiran greeted her.
Zhen Tian really wanted to hug her brothers, but the little one in her arms held her back.
The joy of seeing loved ones again was palpable.
"Is this Xiao Chu Nuan?" For some reason, seeing this child filled Lu Yiran with tenderness, making his eyes well up with tears.
"Yes, Chu Nuan." Zhen Tian handed the child over: "Call him uncle."
"She can speak now?" Lu Yiran asked with delighted anticipation.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
"As you can see, she can't speak very well yet, but she's very smart. She can imitate without being taught." Zhen Tian radiates maternal warmth when she talks about her child.
"Let me hug him, let me hug him." Lu Yiran volunteered to take the child, and only then did Zhen Tian have a chance to look at her older brother.
"Big brother." She buried herself in Zhen Yan's arms. "You've lost weight and you've aged."
"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Zhen Yan gently hugged her. "Your older brother is doing well."
"Tch." Zhen Tian gave him a reproachful look, holding back her tears: "Welcome back. Our family can be reunited again."
Yes. Reunion.
After Ji Yuzhi escaped the crowd, he saw his wife standing there in the distance, holding their child, her face full of sweet smiles. Just like when they first met.
He strode forward to meet his wife and children.
Zhen Tian noticed Ji Yuzhi's movement towards her, and turned halfway around to face her completely.
Standing beside her were Zhen Yan and Lu Yiran, who were also looking at him.
Zhen Tian smiled with her eyes crinkling.
Ji Yuzhi unconsciously wore a smile.
Everyone dismisses youthful infatuation as immaturity and naivety. He wants to tell everyone that love knows no age or maturity; it will give you the most perfect feeling when it's meant to be! Like an orange, you can't say it's not sweet because it hasn't fully matured; you can only say it hasn't arrived at its proper time and age. But if you're willing to wait, it will eventually become the sweetest fruit.
Just like his sweetheart.
