Chapter 3 We are just... ordinary friends
Xu Jialan's nose felt slightly sore, "Thank you, Master."
"Are you still so polite to the master?" Old Liang pretended to be angry.
Xu Jialan smiled and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been polite to Master."
Mr. Liang nodded with satisfaction, "That's right."
Not long after knowing that Xu Jialan had woken up, people from the police station came to take her statement.
Mr. Liang had other things to do at the Medical Association, so he left in a hurry after not staying for long.
Xu Jialan told the truth about the situation in the laboratory.
The policemen looked at each other.
"Professor Xu is saying that someone is illegally producing drugs in the university laboratory?"
Xu Jialan's face turned pale and he shook his head. "I'm not sure, but nitrogen chloride is an extremely unstable substance. It's a dangerous substance and generally doesn't appear in the laboratory."
She is not a judge and cannot convict anyone.
The police nodded. "I understand. We will investigate this matter in depth. We may need your help, Professor Xu."
Xu Jialan nodded and said, "I may not be able to be discharged from the hospital for the time being. If you have any questions, you can contact other technicians in the laboratory."
"Okay, then we won't disturb your rest."
After that, several policemen asked her to confirm her confession, signed it, and left.
…
The ward fell into silence.
Xu Jialan closed his eyes and sleepiness slowly came over him.
She lay on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for several hours, Xu Jialan slowly woke up.
The doctor just came to check on me.
The doctor changed the infusion bottle for Xu Jialan and smiled.
"When did Professor Xu finally get out of being single? Why is there no news at all?"
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Just now, a handsome guy came to see you and brought you a bouquet of flowers." The doctor smiled and whispered, "He is really handsome."
The doctor thought of the man who had appeared just now. His deep eyebrows and eyes were shining with a sharp light, his contours were clear, his slightly raised thin lips had a bit of rogueness, and his long legs were really amazing.
Xu Jialan turned his head and saw a bouquet of white roses on the bedside table next to him.
There was also a card in the bouquet.
Xu Jialan reached out, picked up the card and opened it.
【I wish you a speedy recovery.】
There is also a signature in the lower right corner.
She was familiar with the signature.
The doctor was curious when he saw her freeze at the sight of the card.
"What sweet words did your boyfriend write? Someone who could make Professor Xu fall in love with him must be extraordinary."
After hearing this, Xu Jialan came back to his senses, closed the card, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly with a somewhat complicated smile.
She explained, "He's not my boyfriend."
The doctor was stunned. "Huh?"
Xu Jialan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the card in his hand, "We are just... ordinary friends."
Or maybe just high school classmates.
Not even friends.
The doctor opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Xu, I misunderstood."
Xu Jialan smiled softly, "It's okay."
"Then, Professor Xu, you should have a good rest first. I won't disturb you."
After saying that, the doctor didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left the ward.
It's really embarrassing that such a big mistake was mentioned in front of the person involved.
The ward fell silent again.
Xu Jialan looked at the card in his hand, his eyes filled with incomprehensible emotions.
It turns out to be true.
The person who appeared in the laboratory and saved her was actually him.
Shen Xichuan.
Xu Jialan murmured the man's name silently.
…
The other side.
As soon as he left the hospital, Shen Xichuan received a call.
He clicked on the car's Bluetooth, turned the steering wheel, and drove out.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard that you rescued a girl from the fire."
Shen Xichuan was silent for a moment, “It is my duty to save people, regardless of gender.”
The man smiled gently and said, "Well, after saving the person, I even bought him a bouquet of flowers and sent it to the hospital."
Shen Xichuan pinched his eyebrows, feeling helpless.
"Brother, what do you want to say?"
It sounded like someone was signing something over there, and there was the sound of pages turning.
The man said okay, and there was silence for a while before he spoke again.
"I want to say that Mom has already planned to arrange a blind date for you, and she's already looking for someone."
Shen Xichuan glanced at the traffic light and slowly stepped on the brakes.
"I'm not going." He said lightly.
Shen Yankai hummed, "You don't have to go, but you must get married."
Shen Xichuan: “…”
He felt helpless, "Brother, you know I don't want to get married so early."
Shen Yankai turned his office chair, stood up, and looked down at the scenery under the floor-to-ceiling window.
"I know that, but you also know how worried I am about you."
He didn’t hear Shen Xichuan’s answer, paused, and then continued, “You suddenly changed your major after graduating from high school and said you wanted to be a firefighter, despite your family’s opposition, but in the end, everyone fulfilled your wish and let you do what you wanted.”
"But Xichuan, don't forget, you made an agreement with your family back then. Ten years is almost up, right?"
After Shen Yankai finished speaking, he paused for two seconds, and without waiting for Shen Xichuan to speak, he hung up the phone.
He lowered his eyes and tapped the screen of his mobile phone, not knowing what he had sent to Shen Xichuan.
Shen Xichuan’s eyes were deep, and he continued to start the car.
It wasn’t until he returned to the apartment that Shen Xichuan saw what Shen Yankai had sent him.
An address and a sentence.
Chen Yankai: [Saturday noon, box 302.]
Shen Xichuan was silent for a moment, did not reply, turned off the phone, put it on the island, and poured a glass of water.
He stopped after drinking half a cup, his deep pupils emitting a sharp light.
The words that Shen Yankai had just said kept echoing in my ears.
Shen Xichuan’s fingertips tapped the table unconsciously.
marry?
For some reason, when he heard the word "marriage", a beautiful face appeared in his mind.
The man closed his eyes and cursed, "I think he's crazy."
He drank the remaining water in the cup, put the cup down, picked up his cell phone, and walked into the bedroom.
…
Xu Jialan stayed in the hospital for three days and was not discharged until Friday.
On the day of discharge, Mr. Liang said he would come to pick her up, but Xu Jialan refused.
She said that she would go back home to drop off her things and then go to Liang's house for dinner, and only then did Mr. Liang agree not to come to the hospital.
The person who came to pick up Xu Jialan from the hospital was her assistant Fang Zhiyun.
Xu Jialan sat in the passenger seat, looking down at the contents on the tablet.
"What are the laboratory's test results on this laboratory explosion?"
Fang Zhiyun spun the steering wheel and said, "The bottle of nitrogen chloride has been blown to pieces. It's difficult to find fingerprints or DNA in the bottle to find out who did it."
"However, they have found the DNA of a suspect from another location, and the relevant report has been submitted to the police. I believe there will be a result soon."
After listening to this, Xu Jialan nodded lightly and continued to look through the tablet.
