Dai Chunying was extremely indignant.
She said, "Then I must apply to join the review process. It involves pharmaceutical secrets, how can they just take it away and let people read it at will?"
The documents were stolen last time, but we managed to get them back.
However, there were obvious signs of disturbance.
She felt indignant at the thought of it, so she told Xu Manzhi everything that had happened last time.
Xu Manzhi frowned deeply.
She sat down in the chair, and as if she had thought of something, she said to Dai Chunying, "Come see me again in half a month. The previous inhibitors will be completely abandoned and have no value."
"ah?"
Dai Chunying was utterly shocked.
Those are all firsthand materials. She always felt that they surpassed existing medicine, and she couldn't just discard them like that. Even looking ahead fifty years, it might not be possible to replicate them.
Xu Manzhi shook her head.
She said with a heavy expression, "We're being watched, haven't you noticed? No matter what we do, someone will try to steal it. Once it's given away, it'll be used by someone else."
"What should we do then?" Dai Chunying asked anxiously.
She didn't even read it, so she has no idea what's written inside...
Xu Manzhi said, "You don't need to worry about it for now. I told you to come, so just come and do as I say."
"good."
Seeing her so confident and resolute expression, Dai Chunying's anxiety gradually dissipated.
She blindly trusted Xu Manzhi.
It was as if as long as she knew what was going on, she had nothing to fear.
As night fell, Yan Lin returned home and, upon hearing the news, was furious. He immediately went out to find someone to get it back, but Xu Manzhi grabbed him.
Xu Manzhi said, "After an afternoon, even if we get it back now, it's useless. Let them go."
"But we can't let that bastard get away with it."
Yan Lin was angry.
Xu Manzhi, on the contrary, remained calm and composed. She turned around and hugged his waist, saying sweetly, "I'm hungry. Eating is the most important thing now. The principles of pharmaceuticals are in my mind. They can't take them away. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Well... fine, I really can't do anything with you."
The prescription held a different weight for him than for her; he was simply heartbroken that his wife's tireless efforts, day and night, had been taken away from him.
This is really annoying.
He was more worried that she would continue to work overtime like crazy... that was his concern.
"It's nothing, I'll find a way."
Xu Manzhi was just waiting for the food to be served. She had recently been craving something sour and spicy, so she voiced her request...
Yan Lin was amused by her request.
It's both sour and spicy.
Why does it look like she's pregnant?
He said, "I'll go cook you a bowl of hot and sour noodles, with extra sourness and spice, is that alright?"
"Okay, okay."
Yan Lin went into the kitchen to cook.
There are many ingredients he bought in the cupboard at home. When Yan Zhouzhen and Wang Cuier came over last time, they specially brought a big bag of sweet potato flour made from their own sweet potatoes, as well as chili peppers grown in their own plot and dried chili oil.
They were very careful, storing everything in jars and wrapping them with strips of cloth to prevent the fragrance from escaping.
Yan Zhouzhen likes to eat hot and sour noodles.
But when food was scarce, he couldn't afford to eat. He would only cook himself a bowl when making sweet potato noodles to satisfy his craving, and he wouldn't eat it at other times.
Before long, Yan Lin brought out a bowl of hot and sour noodles with an egg and some green vegetables.
Upon smelling the aroma filling the air, Xu Manzhi's mouth watered.
Refined rice and flour are very precious. Although she has a lot of resources in her space, she can't take them all out, so she eats a mixture of coarse and refined flour.
The first two months were fine.
But lately, she's been craving certain foods so much that she can't wait to eat them; if she waits even a day, she feels like the food just doesn't taste right.
I've been craving something with strong flavors these past few days.
As soon as the hot and sour noodles arrived, she grabbed her chopsticks, her eyes shining, and slurped a bite.
Yan Lin stared at her expectantly.
Waiting for her feedback.
Suddenly, she frowned, looked up at him and said, "It's not spicy enough. Do you have any more chili peppers? I want two more spoonfuls."
Yan Lin went to the kitchen and got a small jar of chili oil.
She snatched it away and, before Yan Lin could react, added three spoonfuls of the powder.
"Hey, this won't do. Your butt will hurt when you go to the toilet tomorrow." Yan Lin snatched the jar and put it away.
I don't feel bad about her eating.
Eating too many chili peppers can cause internal heat.
Slurp, slurp.
Xu Manzhi slurped up noodles while laughing.
Not spicy enough, not spicy enough.
It must be the baby in my belly craving spicy food. I don't know which one it is, but when it comes out, I'll definitely give it a good talking to. Eating too much chili will give you pimples...
She was thinking this to herself while happily eating.
After slurping down a bowl, she stared longingly at Yan Lin, her eyes darting around with a look of unsatisfied longing.
Yan Lin sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.
He said seriously, "There are still noodles in the pot, but we can't add so much chili, or we won't be allowed to eat them."
"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded! I want more, I want more! How can one bowl be enough?"
"I give up."
Yan Lin served her another large bowl.
He didn't eat a single bite.
Xu Manzhi ate and drank her fill, even finishing all the chili soup.
She wiped her mouth with a satisfied look on her face and said with a smile, "Why didn't you eat?"
Yan Lin's heart skipped a beat. Seeing his wife eating with satisfaction, even though she was hungry, he smiled and got up to clear the bowl away, saying, "I've already eaten in the cafeteria, so you don't need to worry about it."
"All right."
After finishing her meal, Xu Manzhi went back to her room and immediately took out a blank notebook to start writing.
When Yan Lin poured her foot bath water, he noticed that she had started staying up late again and couldn't help but scold her: "Stop writing. Can't we just have an injection once every six months from now on? I don't want to have a baby."
Xu Manzhi was still immersed in a brainstorming session.
When she came to her senses, she looked down and saw Yan Lin washing her feet.
Under the light, the tall man squatted in front of her, his military uniform already off, and quietly held her feet, splashing water to wash them.
A long, long shadow stretched out.
She felt a pang of heartache for no reason and said to him, "Don't bother, I can wash myself. I'm not some delicate young lady."
Yan Lin looked up, her face reflected in his dark eyes.
He said softly, "When we're married behind closed doors, I'm willing to do whatever we do in the house, and I enjoy it. I don't have any of the pride that men have."
From a very early age, he avoided crowds and disasters. Dark years filled most of his life. The dreams that most men seek—to achieve great things, to have a virtuous wife and filial children—were nothing more than that in his heart.
She was happy, and he was even happier.
Taking care of her brings him happiness every minute of every day.
This is nothing.
Besides, the little one's waist has gotten thicker. Last night he saw that she was having a hard time bending over, so he thought he would take care of all the washing of her feet and body from now on.
Xu Manzhi really wanted to give him a few kisses.
This man is more than worthy of her love.
She extended her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, in another half month, I will tell you some good news, and you will definitely be very happy then."
Yan Lin chuckled.
He is very satisfied and happy with the present moment; nothing else matters.
