Chapter 9
"I have things to do at the research institute, so you should go to bed early."
Huo Changfeng stood tall in front of the bed, looking down at Mu Qingxuan who was lying on the soft quilt, his eyes calm and indifferent.
It was as if the person who had just hugged Mu Qingxuan and kissed her passionately was not him.
Mu Qingxuan was completely stunned and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Why are you going to the research institute so late?"
Huo Changfeng's voice was a little hoarse. He stared at Mu Qingxuan and said, "There are some problems with the experimental data. As the research director, I have to go and take a look myself."
Mu Qingxuan frowned.
Huo Changfeng's research project is a major matter for the country and the people. Even if she really wants to get pregnant as soon as possible, she cannot delay Huo Changfeng's work just because of her own personal affairs.
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and asked stubbornly: "When will you come back?"
"It depends."
If the project is going well, come back earlier.
But no matter what, I will rest at the institute tonight.
Huo Changfeng paused and didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Okay, then go ahead." Mu Qingxuan turned over, wrapped herself in the quilt, turned her back to Huo Changfeng, and a dull and honest voice sounded lowly.
Huo Changfeng reached out and tidied up the messy hair on Mu Qingxuan's face, then tucked the corner of the quilt for her before turning around and leaving.
The research institute is affiliated to the military region and is not far from the military compound.
Huo Changfeng drove and arrived at the destination in more than ten minutes.
The research institute in the night is like a cold giant beast, crawling quietly in the depths of darkness.
As soon as he stepped in, a biting chill swept over him, with the indifference and silence unique to a machine, and hit Huo Changfeng's face.
Almost instantly, the rich body fragrance and warmth belonging to Mu Qingxuan that was wrapped around Huo Changfeng's body was coldly taken away.
He changed into a specially made white coat uniform, his facial features were firm and his eyes were as calm as water.
Huo Changfeng walked to the door of the laboratory, looked at the mess inside, and asked the adjutant: "What's going on?"
Li Changming replied: "It was running fine, but I don't know where the data went wrong, and suddenly a small explosion occurred..."
Huo Changfeng frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
Li Changming observed the expression on his face and immediately added: "But after our preliminary investigation, we have roughly determined the scope of the problem, and we will have results soon."
Li Changming took out the experimental data and pointed to one of the pages, speaking in a hurried and somewhat nervous tone.
Although he is two years older than Huo Changfeng, Huo Changfeng's innate aura makes people submit to him involuntarily.
Besides, everyone in the entire institute knows that Huo Changfeng has a very high IQ.
When it comes to research projects that are difficult for others, he can always make breakthrough progress quickly.
Huo Changfeng did not disappoint everyone's expectations. No matter how heavy the tasks assigned to him by the country were, he was able to lead everyone to achieve one achievement after another.
However, Huo Changfeng is usually absorbed in research and rarely pays attention to interpersonal relationships. He has an extremely indifferent temperament and exudes an aura of "keep away from strangers".
As a result, people in the institute always respect and fear him.
Huo Changfeng narrowed his eyes and looked through the research data handed over by Li Changming. Almost instantly, he found the abnormality.
He pointed to one of the lines: "This is wrong."
Li Changming leaned over to look, thought for a moment, and finally reacted.
He slapped his head, feeling somewhat guilty: "I'm so sorry, Director, for bothering you to give up your vacation and come here."
Huo Changfeng subconsciously wanted to blurt out "It's okay", but when he thought of his wife's soft body at home and her resentful eyes when he left, he swallowed the two words back.
After determining the problem, Huo Changfeng did not go home, but stayed in the research institute to complete the follow-up experiments with Li Changming and other researchers.
By the time everything was done, the sky in the east was already turning pale.
Huo Changfeng stayed up all night and his eyes were bloodshot.
He rubbed his eyebrows, returned to the lounge, and lay down in his clothes.
The lounge was only a few square meters, with only a bunk bed, a simple wardrobe, and a desk with a few heavy books on it.
Before getting married, Huo Changfeng would stay in this lounge at least 20 days a month, dealing with various experimental equipment during the day.
At that time, he never felt there was any problem.
But now, Huo Changfeng actually felt a little uncomfortable.
The next day.
Mu Qingxuan got up very early.
Old Mrs. Huo was wearing reading glasses and sitting on the sofa reading the Capital Morning Post. A tabby cat was nestled obediently at the old lady's feet, with its little head resting on its front paws, dozing quietly.
The fur on the back of the tabby cat bathed in the morning sunlight, sparkling with brilliant golden light, making people feel much happier just by looking at it.
"Grandma, did you sleep well last night?"
When Mrs. Huo heard the voice, she looked over and saw Mu Qingxuan's young and pretty face, which looked particularly pure in the morning light.
“Average”
Old Mrs. Huo spoke awkwardly.
Not just normal, this was actually the most restful night of sleep she had had in the past ten years.
But Mrs. Huo was worried that if she told the truth, Mu Qingxuan would be proud and bully her.
However, Mu Qingxuan observed Mrs. Huo's exceptionally clear eyes and rosy cheeks and knew that she was lying.
That is the look that only appears after a sufficient and comfortable sleep.
She smiled faintly, without exposing him, and only said, "Then I will continue to treat you today."
"Do you want more injections?"
Although Mrs. Huo did not feel any pain when the silver needle was inserted into her body last night, she was still a little scared.
"Not only do you need acupuncture, you also need to take medicine." Mu Qingxuan said as she ate the breakfast brought by Wang Ma. "The specific prescription will be determined after I take your pulse and look at your physical condition."
"I'll have to trouble Aunt Wang to get the medicine according to the prescription when the time comes."
Aunt Wang wiped the water off her hands with her apron and nodded, "Okay, there's a place in the military hospital where I can get medicine. I'll go out to buy groceries and get the medicine on the way."
She had served in the Huo family for several years and naturally knew that Old Mrs. Huo had been suffering from migraines for many years.
Now that there is an opportunity for treatment, Aunt Wang will definitely take it seriously.
"You still have to take medicine." Old Mrs. Huo looked bitter.
Perhaps it was because she had experienced the most difficult times when she was young and suffered too much, so now that she was old, Mrs. Huo only loved sweets and could not tolerate anything bitter.
On normal dining tables, vegetables such as bitter melon are never served.
The fierce old lady who had always treated Mu Qingxuan like a nose that wasn't a nose and eyes that weren't eyes suddenly showed such a childish expression, which made Mu Qingxuan find it a little funny.
"Don't worry, grandma. It won't be very hard."
Wang Ma also agreed, "Old lady, it is more important to cure the disease. It is better to suffer for a while than to suffer from headache all the time."
"What if the acupuncture and the medicine still can't cure it? Then all the suffering will be in vain." Old Mrs. Huo glanced at Mu Qingxuan with distrust and curled her lips in disdain.
Maybe Mu Qingxuan was just lucky last night and her pain was temporarily relieved?
Anyway, Old Mrs. Huo didn't believe that this little girl who hadn't even grown all her hair yet could have such advanced medical skills.
