Chapter 209 He Yanting fell down
After finishing work the next day, Jiang Xu went to find He Yanting.
"Mr. He, the lady is here."
Gao Cheng quickly walked into the house to report.
He Yanting was changing the dressing on the wound on his forearm. Upon hearing this, he immediately put the medicine and gauze into the drawer and put down his sleeve.
Just then, Jiang Xu walked in with a bright smile on her face: "It's the weekend afternoon in China now, so I just happened to call Tuanbao."
He Yanting smiled and took out his cell phone.
Jiang Xu naturally sat down beside him.
She looked him over and asked the question that had been puzzling her these days: "Why are you wearing long sleeves in such a hot day?"
He Yanting coughed dryly: "I think I look more handsome in long sleeves."
"Tsk, so conceited."
Jiang Xu curled her lips.
He Yanting just smiled and sent a video request to Tuanbao.
Soon, the video was connected.
Revealing Tuanbao's little face, which was full of resentment but very handsome.
"Dad, didn't you say you would find Mom? It's been so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
He Yanting rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "I am trying my best."
Tuanbao pouted and said, "You are so useless. If you had let me go earlier, I would have coaxed my mother back a long time ago."
"You little brat, you have no respect for your father. Believe it or not, when I get back I'll let you feel the power of fatherly love."
He Yanting said unhappily.
Tuanbao suddenly wilted, with his little head resting on the table.
At this time, Jiang Xu came over and said with a smile: "Tuanbao."
Tuanbao instantly stood up, his eyes wide open, and he said excitedly: "Mom!"
Jiang Xu nodded: "Have you been good lately?"
"Be good, grandma praises me every day!"
Tuanbao blinked his big eyes and said seriously.
Xia Yulin appeared in the camera and said with a smile: "Our Tuanbao is the best behaved child. He is much more sensible than Ruanruan when she was little."
"Mom, why are you like this? You can't praise one person over another."
Jiang Xu pouted to express her dissatisfaction.
Tuanbao tilted his head and said, "Mom, grandma told me a lot of embarrassing stories about you when you were a child."
Jiang Xu said with a stern face, "Tuanbao, don't listen to this anymore."
"Well, from now on, whenever grandma says these things, I will cover my ears."
Tuanbao nodded seriously and pretended to cover his ears.
Jiang Xu was amused by his cute look and smiled, "I heard from your dad that there are girls in school who wrote love letters to you?"
Tuanbao frowned and said, "Yeah, it's really annoying. I told them not to do such boring things anymore. I still need to study hard."
Jiang Xu chuckled and said, "You should be gentle with your female classmates."
"Oh, I'll try my best."
Tuanbao still seemed unhappy.
Xia Yulin said from the side: "This boy of yours will definitely be a disaster for women when he grows up. I don't know how many girls he will charm, but he doesn't care about anyone."
"Who said I don't care about anyone? I only care about my mom!"
Tuanbao snorted and said pitifully, "Mom, when will you come back?"
Jiang Xu felt warm in her heart, and her voice softened unconsciously: "Mom has recently developed a new vaccine. If it works, Mom will be able to go back soon."
"Um……"
Tuanbao nodded, not quite understanding, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Afterwards, Tuanbao chatted with them for a while about the latest news at school. Before hanging up, he reluctantly said, "Mom and Dad, you must come back soon."
"Um."
He Yanting and Jiang Xu nodded at the same time.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu felt a little sad. She missed Tuanbao so much and missed the sweet and soft feeling of hugging him.
He Yanting patted her gently and said, "We'll be back soon."
"I hope so." Jiang Xu said.
He Yanting squeezed her hand and said, "I'll make you something delicious today."
Two hours later, Jiang Xu was stunned when he saw the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table.
You know, supplies are very scarce in the entire Kalua right now, not to mention the ingredients and seasonings for making Chinese food.
He Yanting must have put a lot of thought into getting these things.
He Yanting picked up a piece for her and said, "Try it. I didn't buy rock sugar, so I used granulated sugar. I don't know if it tastes right."
Jiang Xu took a bite and nodded: "It's delicious."
"Then eat more. You look so thin."
He Yanting's face was full of pity, and he picked up a few more pieces for her.
Jiang Xu looked at him, feeling indescribable. In fact, he had lost a lot of weight during this period, and his already three-dimensional facial features looked even thinner.
"Don't just patronize me, eat too," she said.
"good."
He Yanting said this, but he didn't move his chopsticks much. There were not many ribs on the plate, and most of them went into Jiang Xu's bowl.
After dinner, Jiang Xu planned to return to the laboratory, and He Yanting sent a car to take her away.
As soon as the car left, He Yanting suddenly became unsteady.
Gao Cheng quickly supported him and said worriedly, "Mr. He, your injury cannot be delayed any longer."
He Yanting waved his hand: "It's okay, Ruanruan should be here soon, I will go back with her."
A few more days passed.
Good news from the laboratory, the new vaccine was successful!
Everyone was excited, applauding each other and celebrating, recalling those difficult days and nights.
Everyone's face was filled with joy as they could finally go home.
Jiang Xu was also very happy.
After celebrating with her colleagues, the first person she thought of was He Yanting.
Without caring about anything else, she walked towards He Yanting's residence.
Because I was too anxious to share the good news with him, I walked faster and faster, and finally I was almost jogging.
On the way, her mind quickly recalled every detail of this period.
She couldn't help but cheer at the thought that they would soon be able to return home and reunite with Tuanbao.
The closer she got to his place, the more impatient she became.
Finally arriving, she ran while calling his name: "He Yanting, we did it! We can go home now!"
The first one to come out was Gao Cheng, who looked a little flustered.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
Jiang Xu was puzzled by his attitude. "Is he there?"
"he--"
Gao Cheng glanced inside the room, hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
Jiang Xu walked into the living room, and slightly messy footsteps were heard from the bedroom. The next second, He Yanting walked out holding the wall.
When Jiang Xu saw him, the joy in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She walked quickly to him and looked at his pale face.
He Yanting shook his head: "It's okay, what did you just say, did you succeed?"
Jiang Xu suppressed his doubts and nodded, "The latest vaccine can effectively contain the virus."
"Congratulations."
He Yanting curled up the corners of his mouth, but there was no trace of blood on his lips.
"He Yanting, are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Xu felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
"No, maybe I'm too tired recently, so I just need to take a rest."
He Yanting said this and turned to walk towards the bedroom. After taking two steps, his whole body suddenly swayed a few times and fell to the ground.
Jiang Xu hurried forward to help him, and the moment he touched his skin, he realized that he had a high fever.
"Mr. He!"
Gao Cheng walked in and helped He Yanting lie down on the bed.
Jiang Xu asked, "Assistant Gao, what happened to him?"
Gao Cheng looked embarrassed. He looked at He Yanting for a moment, grabbed his left arm and rolled up his sleeve.
“After returning from Tubang, the wound on his arm became infected.”
These words made Jiang Xu's brain buzz and go blank.
Gao Cheng continued, "He didn't want you to worry, so he kept it a secret from you. Supplies are scarce here, and medicine is hard to find, so it's been delayed until now."
Jiang Xu's eyes quickly turned red, "Then why don't you return home?"
Gao Cheng sighed, "Mr. He is worried about your safety. He wants to be with you all the time to feel at ease."
