Chapter 101 I'll move in with you!
Su Mei stayed in the clinic for five days. During these days, except that someone put the boiled medicine at the door, she had no contact with anyone.
Just when she was in great torment, bored, and annoyed by the sweat on her body, Huo Jianguo finally came to see her.
He was dusty and untidy, and when he appeared at the door of the clinic, Su Mei was stunned for a moment.
After letting Huo Jianguo into the clinic, Su Mei poured him a glass of water. She could see that the skin on his mouth was a little cracked by the cold wind.
After sitting down and drinking some water, Huo Jianguo said to Su Mei:
"Everyone in the military district and the military academy has been taking medicine for five days. Now the conditions of the soldiers in the new recruits are under control, so the military district will be open from tomorrow.
This time the plague was able to be effectively controlled in such a short period of time, and your role in this process can be said to be indispensable.
For this credit, I would like to reapply for you to stay in the family home, and the organization will probably agree."
"No need to apply!" Su Mei interrupted Huo Jianguo and told him, "Doctor Qin has agreed to take me in as his apprentice. I will move from the military compound to the clinic tomorrow."
"How can you live in the clinic?" Huo Jianguo frowned.
Su Mei pointed to the room and said, "This is it. I will live in the lounge of the clinic from now on."
"No, if you live here, where will Doctor Qin go to rest when he's tired?" Huo Jianguo denied the idea without even thinking about it.
"It was my master who asked me to live here." Su Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, my master has no objection. It's fine for him to live in the dormitory."
"I have an opinion." Huo Jianguo blurted out.
This puzzled Su Mei: "Why do you have an opinion?"
"Didn't you promise not to get divorced?" Huo Jianguo asked.
Su Mei was puzzled: "I didn't say I wanted a divorce!"
"If they don't get divorced, then the couple won't live together and will live in two different places. What kind of nonsense is that?" Huo Jianguo felt that this was extremely detrimental to the normal development of their marriage, so he seemed very unhappy.
After hearing Huo Jianguo's stern words, Su Mei realized what this man was thinking.
She actually wanted to tell him that she had not given up the idea of divorce. After all, they did not like each other, and it was unrealistic to maintain the marriage just by relying on that piece of marriage contract.
Su Mei is a person who is in great need of love. What she needs is real affection, not a marriage filled with only obligations and responsibilities.
But she didn't dare to say what was in her heart, for fear that once she said it, this stubborn man would talk about consummating the marriage again.
So after hearing what Huo Jianguo said, she could only use a delaying tactic temporarily:
"How can this be called living apart? You're in the compound, and I'm in the military area. We see each other every day, right?
The main reason is that I don't want to go back to live there. Just think about how much of a jerk I was before. How can I have the nerve to live in the compound and meet those military families?
It's just in time for me to move out and live in the clinic so that I can study hard with my master. This way, I don't have to ask you to carry me to and from get off work every day. If I encounter a wolf, I won't be able to protect myself and will have to drag you down.
If you go on a mission, you have to arrange for someone to pick me up, which is very inconvenient. So I moved to the clinic, which is the most convenient. Do you think it makes sense?"
"That makes sense." After being silent for half a minute, Huo Jianguo nodded at Su Mei.
Su Mei smiled. She thought that she should distance herself from this man first. The divorce could be handled slowly. Anyway, they could no longer live under the same roof, lest this man would want to take advantage of her 180-pound body.
However, Su Mei's happiness did not last for more than three seconds, as she was completely stunned because she heard Huo Jianguo say:
"Since you insist on living here, then live here. I'll go and give up the military compound tomorrow, and I'll move in with you!"
Hearing Huo Jianguo's serious words, Su Mei's eyes widened. She felt unwell: "You want to move here too, isn't it inappropriate?"
