Chapter 88: Caught on a Date
Huo Qingqing used a lot of coaxing and deceiving, and the phone finally fell into Han Jianwu's hands. What could the two of them talk about on the phone? They asked each other about their studies, life, and work, and then asked about the children's situation. But it seemed that there was nothing else to talk about?
Huo Qingqing was startled by this feeling, adjusted her mood, and said, "I will take a leave and come back next month."
Han Jianwu, "It's not good to ask for leave right after school starts, right? How about I ask for leave to come and see you?"
Huo Qingqing, "You are the same, aren't you? It's not good to ask for leave right after you start working, so forget it. I will take care of the school affairs, and taking leave won't affect my studies and exams. Just get along well with the counselor and substitute teacher."
Han Jianwu said, "Okay! Just make your arrangements and don't let it interfere with your studies. Remember to call me before you come back, okay?"
Huo Qingqing said, okay.
In fact, Han Jianwu felt quite uncomfortable living in the Huo family, but there was nothing he could do. Being a driver for this big leader was a good job, but his relationship with Huo Zheng made his job quite uncomfortable. I'm afraid of using too much force, but also worried about not doing it well. It's really hard to strike the right balance.
But he had no other choice at the moment. Private business was not allowed in the city, and he was Commander Huo's son-in-law, so he didn't dare to do anything easily, for fear of causing trouble for his father-in-law.
In comparison, Huo Qingqing's life was pretty good. After all, she was busy like a top all day long and didn't have much free time for herself, so time passed quickly.
Huo Qingqing's life at school was very monotonous. She went to classes, the library, the laboratory, and also signed up for several clubs and sports activities. Almost every day was packed. She was avoiding a few boys who were trying to show her affection for no reason. She had already told them that she was married and had children, but they refused to believe her. One of them even laughed after hearing what she said and said, "Classmate Huo Qingqing, can you say something else? This is all a clichéd rejection line? How old are you when you're married and have children?" No one believed her no matter what she said, including her roommates.
The age range of this class of college students is really too wide. There are fresh graduates of 18 or 19, and there are also uncles in their 30s. However, there are very few older girls, and the oldest are in their 25s or 26s at most.
As time goes by, policies are gradually relaxed and people's minds are also relaxed. Although campus romance is not discussed openly, everyone knows it and many people have been secretly dating for several years.
In her third year, Huo Qingqing entered the Army Hospital for internship. She had experience from her previous life and worked very hard, so both school teachers and hospital professors and directors were vying for her. People like outstanding people.
The teacher asked Huo Qingqing several times whether she wanted to pursue a master's degree or study abroad.
For Huo Qingqing, postgraduate study and further study abroad are just added points for promotion and professional title evaluation at work. As for learning things, they are not that important to her. She is just trying to keep them as much as possible. What she has learned from her previous life is enough.
Graduation is next year, and Han Jianwu is eagerly waiting for Huo Qingqing to return to Xijing after graduation. He doesn't want to drive for his boss anymore and wants to jump out and start his own business. Now the child's household registration has been settled, but Huo Qingqing told him last time that her teacher asked her if she wanted to pursue a master's degree, which would take another three years. Han Jianwu hung up the phone without saying anything.
During this period of time, both of them were holding their breath and neither of them took the initiative to call the other.
That day, the director was called away because he had an important patient who needed emergency treatment. The director handed over all the outpatient duties to Huo Qingqing, and she began to see patients seriously. The director did not come back all afternoon. Huo Qingqing saw patients all afternoon. She finally finished seeing the last patient half an hour before leaving get off work, and then another person came in.
Huo Qingqing was washing her hands and disinfecting them with her back to the door. When she heard someone coming in, she frowned and turned around. "Teacher Gu, are you looking for our director? She went to the emergency room."
Gu Shaohui said, "I'm looking for you."
Huo Qingqing quickly wiped her hands and said, "Is there anything that Teacher Gu didn't ask me for?"
Gu Shaohui is the deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics and the youngest director of the Army Hospital. Huo Qingqing is in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Gu Shaohui said, "I got off work early today, so I'd like to treat you to a meal. Will you give me face?" He had treated her many times, but she always made all kinds of excuses not to give him face. Today he asked her directly if she would give him face.
Before Huo Qingqing could speak, Gu Shaohui said, "Don't use your status as a married woman to reject me. Which law stipulates that married women cannot have dinner with the opposite sex?"
Huo Qingqing: "..." This person is more difficult to deal with than any other suitor.
Gu Shaohui's eyes were full of smiles the whole time. "Don't hit a smiling person. Little Junior Sister, please give me some face. It's just a meal."
This is the workplace, not a place to discuss personal matters, so Huo Qingqing had no choice but to say, "Okay, see you at the gate after get off work."
Gu Shaohui, "Okay! Don't stand me up today, and don't drag anyone else into this. It's just the two of us."
Huo Qingqing, "Okay."
Gu Shaohui graduated from the Military Medical University and had advanced studies in the Soviet Union. He had strong professional skills and was so popular in the hospital that it was said that there were two rows of girls pursuing him. But Huo Qingqing couldn't understand why this man was interested in her?
It's really annoying.
It turned out that the place Gu Shaohui took Huo Qingqing to was Lao Mo. In the past few years, Huo Qingqing had also visited Lao Mo several times.
After sitting down, Gu Shaohui asked, "Do you know why I am so obsessed with you?"
Huo Qingqing shook her head. "Please be frank, teacher. I don't know. But it's true that I'm married and have two children. My husband and I have a good relationship."
Gu Shaohui turned the cup in his hand and looked into Huo Qingqing's eyes. "Your parents never told you that you had a childhood marriage?"
Huo Qingqing was stunned and shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."
Gu Shaohui, "So your father never mentioned the Gu family in Kyoto?"
Huo Qingqing shook her head. "No, at least my father never mentioned it to me."
Gu Shaohui, "You can ask your father when you go home, do you still remember the Gu family in Kyoto? You and I are engaged. I asked about you when I first saw you in the corridor. I heard that you were the daughter of the commander of the Xijing Military Region. When I went home and mentioned you and the Xijing Huo family to my father, my father and mother said that you were my fiancée."
Huo Qingqing looked at him like he was crazy and said, "Let's just say I don't know about this. Even if it happened, it happened eight hundred years ago. Who would take such a joke seriously? Besides, I'm already married. What's the point of saying this?"
Gu Shaohui, "I don't care. Anyway, you have delayed my life, so you have to compensate me."
Huo Qingqing felt that she had met a rogue, so she stood up and left. Gu Shaohui grabbed her wrist and said with a playful smile, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn't that okay? Sit down and eat! I promise not to hold you responsible."
After that, Gu Shaohui really stopped talking nonsense. After dinner, when Gu Shaohui drove Huo Qingqing to the school gate, Huo Qingqing saw Han Jianwu leaning against a tree smoking.
Han Jianwu also saw them, and Huo Qingqing suddenly felt ashamed of being caught dating behind her husband's back.
