Li Ying never expected that she would meet the person she met on the train again so soon after returning home. This damned fate seemed to be arranged by destiny.
"So you were the pretty girl my brother was talking about yesterday?" Cao Xinping was overjoyed and pulled Li Ying along, saying, "You don't know, after my brother got home, he kept talking about a girl he met on the train. He even said that it was fate."
Lu Qingzhu pulled Cao Xinping's hand away and said with a straight face, "I'm sorry, my junior sister is already married and has children."
Cao Xinping was stunned upon hearing this, and it took her a while to realize her mistake before turning to look at her brother.
Cao Xinqiao adjusted his glasses and smiled shyly: "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
After saying that, he turned and left. Because he was in such a hurry, he almost tripped over something under his feet. Cao Xinping hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother, please walk slowly."
Watching the two leave, Lu Qingzhu asked Li Ying, "What happened to you just now? You didn't look well."
Li Ying gently shook her head. She couldn't explain whether her palpitations were due to that man or something else, so she couldn't say anything rash.
"Junior brother, I'm leaving the shop's affairs to you."
"Leave it to me."
When Li Ying returned home, Aunt Yang was picking vegetables in the yard. Chenchen squatted down in front of her, and after a while, picked up a scallion and asked, "Grandma, what's this?"
"Sweetie, this is green onion, scallion. Does Chenchen like to eat it?"
"I don't like it, the onions smell pungent." Chenchen said seriously.
"Then Grandma will make you a pancake with scallions, it'll be so delicious."
Chenchen nodded emphatically and clapped her little hands: "Chenchen wants to eat pancakes."
Li Ying walked into the courtyard.
"Miss Ying, you're back?"
Chenchen jumped up, ran to Li Ying, and hugged Li Ying's leg: "Mommy, Grandma is going to make pancakes for Chenchen, do you want some?"
"Yes, Grandma's pancakes are so delicious."
"Eat pancakes, eat pancakes."
Li Ying and Aunt Yang cooked together and had dumplings for lunch.
The next morning, just as Li Ying got up, the dean of the medical school came to see her.
"Dean Liu, what brings you here?"
"Comrade Li Ying, have you heard? There's been a large-scale outbreak of malaria in the outskirts of Beijing. Our hospital has sent people to do prevention and testing. Qingzhu said you're an expert in this area. Would you be interested in going with our team to take a look?"
Li Ying nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
“I knew Comrade Li Ying was very responsible. You can go directly to our hospital tomorrow and take a car there.”
"good."
After Dean Liu left, Aunt Yang came over carrying Chenchen.
“Miss Ying, are you really going? I have relatives in a village outside Beijing. I heard this disease is very serious, it causes diarrhea and is very contagious.”
“I’m a medical student, and I’ll go wherever I’m needed. Aunt Yang, thank you for taking care of Chenchen these next few days.”
"It's not hard work. Miss Qingwan will bring Niu Niu over, and the two of them are having a great time."
Li Ying wasn't worried about these things.
When Ye Jingchi returned, he was also worried when he heard that Li Ying was going to go to a village on the outskirts of Beijing with the hospital's prevention team.
"This disease is very serious, and there doesn't seem to be a cure at the moment. Can you handle it?"
"Yes, there are actually pills available to prevent this disease, as well as effective treatments. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Ye Jingchi pulled Li Ying into his arms. "I originally wanted you to have some peace and quiet, but I didn't expect you to be so busy as soon as you got back?"
"Our Commander Ye can be so sentimental? I'm a medical student, and I'm most interested in some difficult and complicated diseases."
As soon as it was light, Li Ying got up early, and Ye Jingchi took her to the hospital entrance to meet up with the hospital staff.
When Li Ying saw Cao Xinqiao, her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, her palpitations definitely came from this man.
But Li Ying still couldn't explain why.
"You must be Comrade Li Ying? I'm Tian Xinyuan, the leader of the team in charge of this disease prevention effort." Team Leader Tian politely shook hands with Li Ying and began their conversation.
"If I remember correctly, Professor Tu's team has developed a drug to treat malaria. Has it been used?"
“Our first option was this, but this malaria is different, and severe malaria is very dangerous, as it can lead to drug resistance after treatment.”
Li Ying frowned slightly, suddenly thinking of someone.
Has our hospital made any contact with military hospitals?
Team Leader Tian frowned: "Can you tell me why?"
"Academician Zhou from the military hospital is researching a compound artemether, which has significant effects on various types of malaria."
“We contacted a military hospital, and they said that this drug is still in the trial phase and they are worried about potential side effects.”
“Use this medicine; it can control the malaria epidemic with 100% certainty,” Li Ying assured her firmly.
Team Leader Tian frowned slightly: "I'm afraid we should talk to Dean Liu at the military hospital about this."
“I went with Dean Liu. I used to work at a military hospital. I know the dean and I have also met Academician Zhou.”
Without hesitation, Li Ying found Dean Liu and together they went to the military hospital to explain their purpose for coming.
Are you sure this medicine won't have any side effects?
The drug has been developed, but it is still in the trial phase and has not been used yet. Everyone is worried about side effects, so no application has been submitted.
“No, this medicine is absolutely safe and effective. You should trust Academician Zhou’s abilities,” Li Ying assured her.
The dean summoned Academician Zhou and asked for his opinion.
Academician Zhou looked at Li Ying and then nodded firmly.
"I believe this medicine definitely has special effects."
So Li Ying and Dean Liu took a new batch of artemether to the outskirts of Beijing to treat seriously ill patients, give the initial medication to patients in the early stages, educate villagers who had not yet contracted the disease, and distribute mosquito nets and cleaning agents.
Three days later, the malaria outbreak in the outskirts of Beijing was brought under control.
"This went so smoothly thanks to Comrade Li Ying's decisiveness; otherwise, we would have been in a lot of trouble." Team Leader Tian greatly admired Li Ying's character.
Li Ying smiled sheepishly; she had known these things beforehand, not because she was particularly clever.
The intense gazes from the crowd made Li Ying feel uneasy. When she looked up, she met Cao Xinqiao's deep, dark eyes.
This person...
The matter was resolved smoothly, and the hospital's heroic act was reported in the newspapers and by television stations.
Li Ying was recognized as an outstanding individual and became a sought-after figure by major hospitals.
"Are you really not considering going back to medical school and doing research with everyone?" Lu Qingzhu asked, having received orders to persuade Li Ying.
"Junior brother, you know my personality. I'm really not suited to a life of confinement. Let me do my best, and I'll do even better." Li Ying didn't want to join any more teams; she just wanted to open her own clinic.
"Alright, I'm just going through the motions, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself back to them. By the way, you really don't know Cao Xinqiao? He really tried his best to persuade Dean Liu to invite you to the hospital for consultations."
