Chapter 415 That person wants to see him
Shen Qingshu lives a routine life every day.
Life went on peacefully.
On that day, international news reported that an epidemic had broken out in Syria.
Shen Qingshu tried calling Fu Siyan, but still couldn't get through.
Shen Qingshu stayed up all night.
Fu Siyan finally called at dawn.
"I'm fine, but this place is under lockdown, and it will take some time before I can go back."
Shen Qingshu was alone in her room, having not slept all night. Her eyes were sore and her voice was choked with emotion. "Fu Siyan, you must take good care of yourself."
Without saying much, she simply said, "Come back safely."
On the other end of the phone, Fu Siyan knew that she must be very worried and scared.
But she held back, unwilling to show it, perhaps for fear of worrying him.
"Ah Shu, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. The news was exaggerated. Actually, things are fine here. In addition, we've been at the base all along. Song Wenyuan's research is almost successful, and I'll be able to go back soon."
Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, her voice soft but unusually firm: "Okay, I'm not worried, I'll wait for you."
...
In early September, the osmanthus trees along the Lijiang River began to bloom.
Fu Siyan still hasn't returned.
Shen Qingshu is still waiting.
The epidemic in Syria has been brought under control, reportedly thanks to a special drug developed by a certain research institute.
That research institute is the one that Fu Siyan invested in this time.
Song Wenyuan was among them.
On September 8th, Shen Qingshu received a call from Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan said he would return to China tomorrow.
Shen Qingshu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and her nose tingled with emotion: "What time is your flight? I'll bring the kids to pick you up."
"I'll send you the flight information later," Fu Siyan said in a low voice. "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I was afraid of making you wait another day and worry about me for another day."
“This phone call is such a surprise.” Shen Qingshu held her phone, her eyes welling up with tears. “Fu Siyan, the children and I will come to pick you up and take you home.”
Fu Siyan's heart softened, and his voice became even lower and gentler, "Okay."
—
Syria.
Research base.
Fu Siyan reluctantly hung up the phone.
Looking at him, Song Wenyuan couldn't help but tease, "Looks like you can start preparing for the wedding as soon as you get back this time?"
Fu Siyan looked at him and smiled slightly. "I hope so, but it still depends on A-Shu's wishes. I respect her opinion."
“I never thought you’d end up like this.” Song Wenyuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Having someone who cares about you makes all the difference. Even I, a staunch believer in remaining single, am envious.”
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow. "I remember you're a year older than me?"
Song Wenyuan choked, "...It would be impolite to continue this conversation!"
“Actually, with your current conditions, it shouldn’t be difficult to find someone.” Fu Siyan glanced at the figure walking towards them in the distance, then looked at Song Wenyuan again, “But take my advice, she only treats you as her brother.”
Song Wenyuan frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Fu Siyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell her."
“I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her. She treats me like a brother, so naturally I have to do my duty as a brother.”
“Great love.” Fu Siyan patted Song Wenyuan on the shoulder. “I could never do what you do.”
"Alright, I know you and your ex-wife are still deeply in love and can't bear to part, so stop showing off in front of me!" Song Wenyuan waved his hand away and patted his lab coat. "I came here to tell you that the person in room 3 wants to see you."
Fu Siyan paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Go see him. We were able to develop the vaccine so quickly thanks to him.” Song Wenyuan advised Fu Siyan from the perspective of a medical researcher. “He has so many lives on his hands, which is a sin, but compared to the end of being shot, I think it is more meaningful for humanity to keep his life and continue to contribute to medicine as atonement.”
Indeed, that person's talent in medicine is truly rare.
Fu Siyan was never one to act on emotion, especially when it came to matters involving the big picture.
He responded with a faint reply.
"What are you two whispering about?" Song Lanyin walked over and looked at Song Wenyuan and Fu Siyan.
Song Wenyuan: "He tried to persuade him, but that person wanted to see him and had mentioned it several times."
Song Lanyin looked at Fu Siyan, "Shall we go back tomorrow?"
Fu Siyan replied casually, "Yes, we're setting off today. We'll arrive there during the day, which will make it convenient for A-Shu and the children to pick us up from the airport."
"I can't stand your worthless attitude!" Song Lanyin rolled her eyes. "So you're planning to take a commercial flight back?"
"We've just reopened here, so private flights won't be open anytime soon. Let's stick with commercial flights."
"Let's go together then," Song Lanyin said. "It's been a long time since I've been to Beicheng. I miss the food there."
Fu Siyan saw through her thoughts, "Do you miss the food in Beicheng, or the people in Xingcheng?"
Song Lanyin choked.
“Teacher Wen arrived in Beicheng yesterday.” Fu Siyan smiled. “Ayin, your intentions are quite obvious.”
"Yes, I went there specifically for Teacher Wen, so what?" Song Lanyin snorted coldly. "We've kissed and slept together, so it's not unreasonable for us to meet up!"
Song Wenyuan was taken aback and suddenly looked at Song Lanyin: "Ayin, when did you and Wen Jingxi get to this point?"
"?" Song Lanyin frowned, looking at her older brother's shocked expression, and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're so innocent!"
Song Wenyuan: "..."
Song Lanyin patted his shoulder, "Brother, your little sister is thirty-two years old! It's perfectly normal to date, okay?"
Song Wenyuan didn't want to talk anymore.
"If you want to come with me, get your documents ready. I'll go to room number 3 first." After saying that, Fu Siyan walked straight to room number 3.
After Fu Siyan walked away, Song Wenyuan looked at Song Lanyin and asked, "Lanyin, are you and Wen Jingxi serious?"
"What's so serious about that!" Song Lanyin laughed when she saw her older brother's serious expression. "That time was just an accident. Besides, it was just sleeping under the covers. I haven't even won over Teacher Wen yet!"
"That's good." Song Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Ayin, we're girls after all. Before we're officially a couple, we..."
"Don't worry, brother!" Song Lanyin put her arm around Song Wenyuan's shoulder. "I'll definitely win over Teacher Wen when we get back!"
Song Wenyuan: "..."
...
Room number 3 was built for that person.
The walls were made of copper and iron, and even the lights were made of explosion-proof glass.
The only furniture is a bed and a table, all of which are fixed. In the bathroom, the sink and toilet are also made of stainless steel, which has no sharp corners and cannot be damaged.
This eliminates the possibility of suicide for the person living in the room to the greatest extent possible; of course, escaping is even more of a pipe dream.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair, with his legs hanging down below the knees.
That once perfect face, admired by countless women, now bears a scar on its left cheek, stretching from the cheek to the temple. It was cut by sharp rocks at the foot of the cliff, and because it was soaked in seawater and not treated in time, it became infected and rotted. The wound grew several times after healing, eventually leaving a long and wide scar.
He had his head down, his back was slightly hunched, and his hair, which reached his neck, was almost entirely white.
Hearing the door open, his eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly turned his wheelchair around, maneuvering it with his fingers.
