Chapter 206 I Will Always Be With You
"What did you do?"
Jiang Xu walked over and asked.
He Yanting slowly put down the shovel he had raised, with an unhappy look on his face, "Nothing, just something casual."
Gao Cheng said, "Mr. He saw that you had a poor appetite recently, so he went to great lengths to get some Chinese spices and said he wanted to make Chinese food for you."
Jiang Xu saw a lot of newly opened seasonings on the table.
"Thanks."
She said to He Yanting, then took out the flowers hidden behind her, "Here, this is for you."
The man, who had a stern face, was stunned when he saw the flowers.
Then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "I'm a grown man, what do I need flowers for?"
Qin Zifei glanced at him and said, "If you don't want it, you can give it to me."
He Yanting took the flowers and said coldly, "I told you it was for me. Is there something wrong with your ears?"
"Okay, stop arguing and start cooking. I'm hungry."
Jiang Xu urged.
He Yanting said nothing more and continued to concentrate on cooking.
Soon, a simple meal of three dishes and a soup was served. I hadn’t had Chinese food for almost two months, and just smelling the ginger fluff made my mouth water.
"Our conditions are limited, so we'll just have to eat a little."
He Yanting felt that the food was too shabby and felt very guilty.
"No, it's already very rich."
Jiang Xu started eating happily.
Seeing her finish two bowls of rice in a row, He Yanting looked very accomplished and asked, "Is it delicious?"
“Mmm, delicious!”
Jiang Xu didn't even raise his head and kept eating.
He Yanting raised his eyebrows at Qin Zifei, looking smug and provocative.
Qin Zifei said "huh" and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
In the evening, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Jiang Xu has always lived in the same room with He Yanting, but because she works very hard every day, she falls asleep quickly every time she lies down, and He Yanting has little chance to be intimate with her.
After Jiang Xu finished taking a shower, she saw He Yanting find a jar from somewhere, put the flowers she gave him in it, and placed it on the table.
She couldn't help laughing as she watched his tall back carefully arranging the flowers and bending down to find the right angle for the photo.
"What are you laughing at?"
He Yanting turned around and looked at her.
Jiang Xu walked over and said, "It's just a bunch of wild flowers, why take it so seriously?"
He Yanting straightened up and looked at her seriously, his expression very serious: "Ruanruan, this is the first time you gave me flowers."
Jiang Xu felt uncomfortable under his eager and sincere gaze, and lowered her head to look through the experimental records.
A bony hand reached out and took the information.
"I finally got off work early, so I'll rest early tonight."
He Yanting carried her to the bed without saying anything.
Jiang Xu did not struggle, leaned in his arms, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?"
He Yanting noticed that she was in a bad mood.
Jiang Xu said worriedly, "This virus has spread to more than 20 countries. If we don't find a cure, the whole world will suffer."
"No."
He Yanting lifted her chin. His tone was incredibly gentle, "Our Ruanruan is so smart, she'll definitely find a solution."
"But the samples we made recently didn't have any effect."
Jiang Xu became increasingly discouraged. "Seeing those patients suffer and their lives slowly disappearing, I feel so powerless."
He Yanting hugged her tightly, his fingers gently stroking her waist.
"You're already great. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just hold on a little longer and you'll definitely succeed."
He kissed her on the lips and said, "I will always be with you until you succeed."
These words made Jiang Xu feel warm in his heart.
Five years ago, she would never have thought that He Yanting would say such a thing.
"Thanks."
Jiang Xu nodded slightly.
He Yanting kissed her on the forehead and said, "Go to bed early."
"You should also go to bed early and don't work too late."
Jiang Xu closed his eyes and whispered a warning.
She knew that during this period, after coaxing her to sleep every night, He Yanting would continue to work until the early morning.
A few days ago, she had advised him to return to China first. After all, he was the head of Shengyu Group, and it would definitely not be convenient for him not to go back for several months.
But He Yanting's face was serious: "I will always be here with you. I would rather give up the group than not make sure you are safe."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xu felt extremely complicated.
It's impossible to say I'm not moved.
Breathing in the refreshing scent that belonged only to He Yanting, she leaned into his arms, praying that an antidote could be found soon.
A few days later, Qin Zifei was finally able to move around with the help of crutches.
Everyone was very happy about Qin Zifei's return, but because the experiment had not made much progress, the atmosphere in the laboratory was very dull most of the time.
One day, they received a piece of news.
A new strain has been discovered in southern Caluya that spreads faster and has more severe symptoms.
The old professor who led the team believed that this strain was of great research value and might become a breakthrough in the research.
At present, another research team has successfully collected the virus strain, but all their equipment has been damaged in the war. The only hope is Jiang Xu's team.
After some discussion, everyone decided to send someone to get the virus.
As to who should take it, everyone has different opinions.
These days, two people in the team were infected with the virus, and five others chose to give up, leaving only eight people.
But these eight people were either sick or disabled. Half of them fell ill due to fatigue and acclimatization, and the others were all old.
Jiang Xu looked around and stepped forward decisively: "I'll go."
Qin Zifei was very worried: "There are frequent wars and viruses in the south. Why don't I go there?"
Jiang Xu shook his head: "Your leg injury hasn't healed yet. I'm the youngest and healthiest here, so it's best for me to go."
As she spoke, she glanced at the newspaper on the table.
The virus has gradually spread around the world. If it continues like this, even Tuanbao and other family members will be threatened.
Jiang Xu's expression was resolute, and he said decisively, "It's decided."
That night.
When He Yanting learned that she was going to the south, he immediately said sternly, "You are not allowed to go!"
Jiang Xu was very stubborn: "I must go."
He Yanting grabbed her shoulders and frowned, "Do you know that the government army and the rebels are facing off in the south these past few days? It's too dangerous."
Jiang Xu's eyes were red. "I know, but I have no choice. The virus can only be preserved for a limited time. I have to rush over as soon as possible."
She pulled a gun out of her bag and said, "This is what the old professor gave me. I will protect myself."
Looking at the way she held the gun, He Yanting almost laughed out of anger.
"He Yanting."
Jiang Xu looked at him, "Do you think I'm stupid? But you know, if this strain is a breakthrough, it can not only save the people here, but also save millions of people around the world, including our relatives and friends, including Tuanbao, and even you."
"so--"
She pursed her lips, her expression determined, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will get it back."
