Facing Shen Rong's tears, Qin Zheng remained calm and looked at her indifferently, "What explanation do you need? I don't think you need to explain anything to me."
Chen Rong's eyes instantly turned red. "Captain Qin, you really misunderstood me. Jingwan and I are friends, and I felt bad for her being so seriously ill. But I was completely misled by others about this matter. Jingwan has always been a very opinionated girl. She always knows what is best for herself. I thought she still had enough medicine for herself, so when everyone decided not to give her medicine, I didn't express any extra opinions. I didn't expect her to hand over all the medicine she had and not keep any. If I had known that, I would definitely not follow the crowd."
Qin Zheng was unmoved and asked her, "So what do you want to say by telling me this?"
"I..." Chen Rong was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she stammered, "I, I just don't want you to misunderstand me. I want to explain the whole story to you clearly."
"No need." Qin Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to listen: "I'm not a boss, you shouldn't explain it to me."
"I know I should explain to Jingwan the most, but Jingwan is still in quarantine and I can't see her. When she gets better, I will explain everything to her." Chen Rong said with a sob: "The reason I tell you this is because you are the combat hero I admire most. I hope to leave a good impression in your mind and don't want to leave a bad impression in your mind. That's why I want to explain it to you clearly. I don't want you to misunderstand me."
"I swear, this was truly an accident. I was misled, so I didn't speak up for her."
"Comrade Chen Rong, some people hold back a little to save face. Since you insist on explaining things clearly, I'll be frank." Qin Zheng said expressionlessly, "I don't care whether you've been misled. You said you were Jingwan's friend, so when Jingwan was targeted by others, as a friend, shouldn't you have stood by her unconditionally, sided with her, and spoken up for her? Did you?"
"You didn't. You chose to remain silent, which shows that deep down in your heart you didn't really regard her as your friend."
"So there's no point in saying more."
Qin Zheng turned and left, leaving Chen Rong standing there blankly with a red face and ears.
She was very panicked. For a moment, she even felt that Qin Zheng saw through her heart. She stood naked in front of him, and all her dark thoughts were exposed.
This time, she was the one who got impatient.
She should be more patient.

After Qin Zheng returned, he transferred Chen Rong to another group. He deliberately avoided her, so the two had no contact for a long time afterwards.
The blocked roads are not easy to clean. After the flood, it leaves behind mud, gravel, broken trees, and scattered animal carcasses... Without the help of large-scale machinery, everything has to be done by the hands of the disaster relief officers and soldiers, and each task requires countless manpower and material resources.
Qin Zheng led a team to work day and night for several days before clearing a two-meter-wide driveway. Although it was still bumpy and uneven, it was enough for vehicles loaded with relief supplies from outside to drive in.
However, the heavy rains never stop during the rainy season.
Just when the disaster relief work had made initial progress, a sudden rainstorm hit the disaster area again.
The rain poured down, the river water level rose rapidly, and the road that had just been cleared was flooded again in an instant.
Raindrops as big as beans hit the ground with a crackling sound. Qin Zheng looked up at the dark sky above his head, wiped the rain off his face, and led his team to engage in flood prevention and rescue work in a hurry, racing against time to reinforce the levee and evacuate the people.
After two weeks of isolation treatment, Yan Jingwan wanted to see Qin Zheng as soon as she was released from isolation.
She was not unconscious when she was in a coma. She knew everything when Qin Zheng went to see her.
It’s hard to describe how she feels, but she always feels that she shouldn’t waste time with Qin Zheng anymore. It’s unfair to Qin Zheng.
These days, she thought carefully about it and realized that her avoidance of intimate relationships over the years actually stemmed from her inner cowardice.
She only looks sober and strong, but in fact she is still a coward who is afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake.
The cowardly and incompetent mother, the feudal and ignorant grandparents, the education she received in her childhood were like a brand imprinted on her soul. Even though she tried her best to grow up wildly, she only created a seemingly indestructible shell for herself.
She protects herself very well and seems to be able to live a happy life without love at all. But in fact, she is just a bystander with no chips in her hands. She is eager to try, but dare not devote herself wholeheartedly. She can only restrain her desires, convince herself not to think about it, not to ask for it, and always leave room and a way out for herself, as if only in this way can she avoid ending up with a complete loss.
This illness gave Yan Jingwan an opportunity to change her mind.
During the days when she had a high fever on the mountain, she almost thought she was going to die, so when she was half-conscious, she kept regretting why she didn't readily agree to Qin Zheng's pursuit.
Perhaps this is also the bad nature of human beings.
We should not look back when we are healthy, but only when death is approaching do we begin to understand the weight of the five words "cherish the people around us".
Although love is an adventure, the person is Qin Zheng, so Yan Jingwan thought carefully and decided to give it a try.
This is more of an opportunity for myself than for Qin Zheng.
She had tried, she had worked hard, and even if the final result was not satisfactory, at least she had no regrets when she thought about it.
