Chapter 171: The Glory of the Chinese

Chen Wenting's eyes were always on Shi Tingyu, making it hard for people to ignore her.

Shi Tingyu turned around to look at her, and their eyes met. Chen Wenting quickly looked away.

Professor Chen and his wife wanted to help, but were rejected by Shi Tingyu.

"Professor Chen, I can take care of it here, you don't have to do this." Shi Tingyu said.

A family that they didn't know very well was busying around here too enthusiastically, and Shi Tingyu felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Mrs. Chen was more thoughtful. She said to Shi Tingyu: "Comrade Shi, if you have any difficulties, just tell us, we will definitely help if we can. We won't bother you today. We will come to see Captain Lu in two days."

Then she took her husband and daughter out.

Chen Wenting was a little reluctant when she left. She was a person who had to know the answer to a question. She felt uncomfortable when she couldn't guess who the person was.

"Mom, do you think my sister looked familiar? I always felt familiar."

Mrs. Chen thought about it and seemed to feel familiar.

Professor Chen said, "Whether familiar or not, it's our fault that a soldier was injured. Tingting, you should exercise more next time. You can't always fail at critical moments."

Chen Wenting felt a little guilty after hearing what her father said, and agreed.

It was not until they returned to their residence and saw the paintings hanging in the room that Chen Wenting suddenly realized something and shouted in surprise, "Mom, I remember who Sister Shi is!"

"Who is it?" Mrs. Chen was also curious.

Chen Wenting patted the paintings hanging on the wall, "Mom, we went to see her exhibition! Did you forget?"

Although the paintings on the wall were not Shi Tingyu's, they did buy Shi Tingyu's paintings, but the paintings were sold to friends because they were inconvenient to carry.

Mrs. Chen remembered it, and she looked enlightened, "No wonder I felt that the surname Shi was familiar, it turned out to be her."

They were in the same state as Shi's father and mother, but the two families did not know each other. However, when they were abroad, Chinese people had their own circles. When Shi Tingyu held an exhibition, they made them Chinese people proud.

At that time, the Chinese were discriminated against in foreign countries. Of course, talents like them rarely suffered from this, but those Chinese who had passed away due to the war did not have such treatment.

At that time, they heard that a Chinese had an art exhibition, so they naturally wanted to go and see it.

The exhibition was very successful at that time, and everyone was amazed at Miss Shi's excellence.

But they didn't know that the Shi family actually returned to China and settled in Jinling.

The reason why Chen Wenting remembered Shi Tingyu for so long was mainly because when she went to learn piano, she was laughed at by white students,

saying that she, a yellow monkey, did she know what music and art were?

She herself was not a courageous person, but she was really angry at that time. Thinking of the art exhibition she had visited before, she mustered up her courage and loudly retorted: "You are the group of self-righteous people who don't understand. Fiona in our country also held an art exhibition. She was only 18 years old. Who among you has held an art exhibition at the age of 18?"

Fiona is Shi Tingyu's English name. It's not that she doesn't want to use a Chinese name, but mainly because Americans' tongues are tied when they pronounce their names, so she had to use an English name.

However, her paintings are all named after Shi Tingyu.

Chen Wenting still remembers their expressions when they were asked this question. Since then, whenever someone talks about her, she will mention Fiona.

This time, because Shi Tingyu used a Chinese name, he didn't react for a while.

Shi Tingyu thought that Professor Chen and his team would not come again after they returned, but she saw Chen Wenting the next day.

But this time she came alone.

Chen Wenting was very excited to see Shi Tingyu, which was very different from her previous cautious and guilty attitude.

"Sister Shi, are you Fiona? I saw your art exhibition when I was abroad, and my family bought your paintings at that time."

Shi Tingyu looked at the doctor who was examining Lu Weiguo and turned his head to look at Chen Wenting in surprise, and quickly changed the subject and stopped her from talking.

"How did you get here? Are your parents also worried about you being alone?"

Chen Wenting said, "I'm already 20 years old, they have nothing to worry about."

Then, Chen Wenting said, "Fiona, you don't know how famous you are in the overseas Chinese circle. Some American classmates have troubled me before, and I used your grades to fight back, and they were speechless."

Looking at the doctor's frequent glances, Shi Tingyu wondered when the other party would shut up.

But it was obvious that Chen Wenting was excited, and her eyebrows were dancing when she talked about her.

Shi Tingyu didn't change the subject.

The two chatted for a while, until the doctor left, Shi Tingyu said: "You just came back and don't know a lot of things yet. It's better to say less about things abroad in the future, and don't mention my English name."

Chen Wenting subconsciously covered her mouth. She forgot in her excitement.

When she came back, her parents told her about this.

Chen Wenting's attitude has always been very warm, which makes Shi Tingyu feel quite pressured. As a person with mild social anxiety, she is not good at dealing with people.

Until people from the camp came to see Lu Weiguo one after another, Chen Wenting stopped talking and said goodbye and left.

When the visitors went back, the ward became quiet again.

"So my wife is so famous?" Lu Weiguo thought about what Chen Wenting said and teased.

Shi Tingyu rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

Lu Weiguo stretched out his left hand and held her hand gently, "Professor Chen's family has just returned, it's okay for his children to speak in a more Western way."

When Chen Wenting said his wife's English name, the nervousness in his wife's eyes could not deceive him.

"Okay, I know."

After all, Lu Weiguo understood this era better than she did.

She just had some shadows because of her parents' relocation.

Although her parents' relocation had other reasons, it did not prevent her from being cautious during this special period.

"Your foreign name is Fiona?" Lu Weiguo asked with some curiosity.

Shi Tingyu covered his mouth, "It's enough for you to know, don't say it out loud."

Lu Weiguo smiled and finally stopped teasing her.

Nowadays, because of the memorial service and protest activities, Beijing is quite chaotic. Professor Chen was brought back by people from the Jinling Military Region. The leaders of the camp spent a lot of effort to keep Professor Chen and his family in the Institute of Biology in Jinling.

Because Professor Chen's family had just returned to China, they had a lot of things to do, so Chen Wenting was free and went to the hospital every few days.

Fortunately, Lu Weiguo was discharged from the hospital at the end of May.

Now that the weather is warmer, Shi Tingyu moved three chairs together and placed them in the yard. She wanted to wash Lu Weiguo's hair.

When she was in the hospital, she felt suffocated when washing her hair.

Lu Weiguo lay on the chair, his body a little stiff. He saw Shi Tingyu fetching water and putting it on a stool under his head, and hesitantly said: "Or, I'd better stand and wash directly?"

To be honest, it was more tiring for him to lie down like this than to stand and bend over to wash his hair.

Shi Tingyu looked at the height difference between the chair and the stool, and saw Lu Weiguo's stiff neck, and compromised.

Well, it's also good to bend over to wash.
