"Senior brother, did you remember their name and address? I must personally visit them to express my gratitude for such a great favor."
“You’re on the same side as him, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Zuo Wenxuan shook his head, looking at Lin Banxia's knowing expression, and said calmly:
"Song Mingqian found you lying on the ground when he passed by this morning, climbed over the wall to rescue you, and took you to the hospital."
"I ran into Luo Yi on my way here. Luo Yi told me that you are safe and sound thanks to Song Mingqian for finding out early."
The name that had been kept deep in my heart was suddenly spoken aloud.
Lin Banxia was in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses.
I can't believe that what I saw in that moment of blurred consciousness wasn't a hallucination.
Where...is he now?
Her voice was terribly bitter, and before anyone could answer, she lowered her eyes and gave a bitter smile.
"Forget it, I was asking unnecessary questions. He's definitely gone by now, so why should I know?"
Song Mingqian, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, had already heard Lin Banxia wake up and knew that she was talking to the two men who had come to visit her earlier.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go in, Lin Banxia's calm words came from inside the door.
The fact that she said that suggests... she probably doesn't want to see him yet.
Song Mingqian forced a smile, suppressing the intense, dull pain in his heart.
He turned and walked slowly out.
At this moment, Luo Yi, who had already left, suddenly turned back.
He kept shouting as he walked.
"Oh dear, I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the stretcher. Also, Mr. Song, if you need any help, just call us anytime."
"Mr. Song! Mr. Song! Why did you leave so suddenly? Where are you going? Why aren't you talking to me!"
"That person in front—Senior Song Mingqian!"
His loud voice echoed in the infirmary, and could probably be heard clearly even through several walls.
Luo Yidu called out his full name, and Song Mingqian almost wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
He couldn't deny it even if he wanted to, and helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Okay, okay, I know. I just want to take a walk around the neighborhood, I'm not going anywhere."
The originally serious atmosphere instantly took on a comedic touch.
Inside the ward, the regimental commander and Zuo Wenxuan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Luo Yi, please invite Mr. Song in."
A series of clanging sounds came from outside the door, and after a long while, Song Mingqian appeared at the door with an embarrassed expression.
"Sorry to bother you."
The man's thin back was held very straight, and his tone was polite yet not distant.
Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, a pair of gentle eyes revealed the refined character of a scholar.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Banxia sat up and, leaning against the headboard, met Song Mingqian's gaze.
After so many years apart, both of them wondered what it would be like to meet again.
Perhaps it was painful, as they gazed at each other, only resentment remaining.
Or perhaps it will be peaceful, and maybe we can even chat for a while, like old friends reuniting.
No one expected that all these guesses were wrong.
The scene of their reunion—
It was so awkward.
Zuo Wenxuan originally wanted to be more serious.
But seeing Lin Banxia and Song Mingqian's embarrassed expressions, he couldn't help but laugh.
"cough."
Lin Banxia coughed lightly and glanced at him speechlessly.
"Senior brother, although what happened just now was quite funny, you really didn't need to laugh for so long."
That one word, "Senior Brother," instantly dispelled Song Mingqian's worries.
It turns out that the person who escorted Lin Banxia home last night was a fellow member of their band.
He was overthinking it; he thought...
Embarrassed by his own guess, Song Mingqian straightened his back even more, putting on an extremely serious appearance.
But after all, they had been husband and wife for so many years, and Lin Banxia could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
That guy is really something; she could live just fine without him.
They still feel like they don't have enough time to search for their daughter every day.
Where would she get so much energy to think about all that nonsense?
Lin Banxia's delicate face frosted over, and she coldly rolled her eyes.
The once composed Song Mingqian instantly became flustered like a child who had just made a mistake upon seeing her expression, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
I never expected that the renowned researcher Song would have this side to him.
Zuo Wenxuan and the group leader couldn't help but look at Song Mingqian with curiosity, knowing that the couple must have a lot to talk about.
They immediately stood up, gave them space, and made sure to close the door behind them as they left.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was extremely quiet.
Song Mingqian stood at the door without moving, as if he were being punished.
Lin Banxia remained silent for a while, then simply closed her eyes and lay back on the bed to avoid seeing anything.
"Song Mingqian, if you think that patch of land by the gate is nice, then you can continue to stand there as punishment."
Hearing rustling sounds coming from the bed, Song Mingqian glanced at Lin Banxia out of the corner of his eye and saw that she had lain down before he dared to steal a look at her.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes behind his glasses. After looking the person over, he lowered his head with satisfaction and responded in a deep voice.
"Oh, okay."
Although they have been separated for many years, he has not changed his habit of listening to his wife at all.
Song Mingqian felt that he was really great.
