When Zhou Yunwan thought of Shen Yanli's anxious look, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
With something on her mind, Zhou Yunwan soon arrived at a strictly surrounded building with patrolling security guards all around. It was obvious at a glance that it was a state-owned unit with strict confidentiality.
Looking at the big iron gate in front of her, Zhou Yunwan was filled with awe. After finding the security guard at the gate and explaining her purpose and identity, she sat in the security room waiting for the security guard to call Shen Yanli and ask him to come out to see her.
This was her first time in the institute, and her big eyes couldn't help but look around. Except for the staff, no outsiders were allowed to enter, not even family members.
"Please wait a moment, little girl. Professor Shen said he will be out soon." The security guard smiled kindly.
Zhou Yunwan also smiled back: "Thank you."
"Would you like some water? I have some tea leaves here."
Zhou Yunwan did not refuse, and handed him her cup of water, saying politely, "Just plain water will do, thank you."
She rushed over under the scorching sun without stopping for a moment, sweating all over and feeling extremely hot at the moment.
...
...
While the security guard was pouring water for her, Zhou Yunwan accidentally caught a glimpse of a mirror hanging on the wall. She asked, "Uncle, can I borrow the mirror?"
"Use whatever you like."
Zhou Yunwan thanked him again and immediately stood up from the chair and walked over. The girl in the mirror had pigtails, her face was as smooth and white as a peeled egg, her peach blossom eyes were lively and bright, her cheeks were rosy, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck, but she was still very hot and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"It's hot, right? Drinking some cold water will make you feel better." The security guard handed her the cup of water, tilted his head to look at the sky outside, and asked curiously, "It's so hot today, what do you want to talk to Professor Shen about?"
Zhou Yunwan took a big sip of water and said openly, "We are going to get the marriage certificate today."
As she said this, her bright eyes twinkled, and the smile on her lips was like a blooming flower, which was very touching.
The security guard was stunned, and then he thought of something: "You are Professor Shen's marriage partner?"
These days people in the hospital have been talking about Professor Shen and his girlfriend. They say how generous Professor Shen's wife is and how many things she has brought to the family. They also say how much he loves his wife and that he didn't even let her help with the move. Professor Shen took care of everything.
Another thing is that people say that Professor Shen’s girlfriend is so beautiful, even prettier than the actresses in the pictorial advertisements, but she doesn’t come from a good family and is from the countryside. Therefore, many people think that she is a scheming woman who is trying to climb up the social ladder and has superb means.
But this look, this temperament, this conversation, it doesn't look like he grew up in the countryside!
The security guard believed her when she said she was a rich girl who had returned from studying abroad.
"Yeah." Zhou Yunwan nodded.
The security guard was kind and enthusiastic, and Zhou Yunwan chatted with him in a random manner.
The wind outside the window blew open a book on the table next to her. The book was densely covered with Chinese and English translations in a chaotic yet orderly manner.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunwan looked at the simple security guard and asked with a smile: "Uncle, are you learning English by yourself?"
"What do you mean?" The security guard was puzzled. He looked at the book as she said, and said with a silly smile, "This book is not mine. It was left behind by Director Yu of our hospital. He will probably take it away after get off work."
Director Yu? It sounds familiar.
The security guard added: "That's your Professor Shen's leader."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan recalled the typical face of an old professor with gray hair. They had seen it before.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwan glanced at the page of marked notes again. There were several translation errors that were obvious at a glance. If he translated it according to the ones he marked, the meaning would be completely wrong.
Zhou Yunwan frowned, thought for a moment, and then borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from the security guard. She marked the errors on the paper separately and wrote the correct meaning next to them.
"Uncle, please pass this paper to Director Yu later. Don't say it was written by me."
Although she had pretended to learn English by herself in front of Shen Yanli during the past two months, it was better not to easily expose her true level just in case.
The security guard took the paper. Although he didn't know why she wanted to hide it, he still nodded and agreed.
The security room was relatively cool, and when the heat in Zhou Yunwan's body had almost dissipated, Shen Yanli rushed over from the research room.
He was wearing a neat white coat, a white shirt and black trousers underneath. A belt restrained his waist, outlining a pair of long legs. He was wearing black short boots and pushing a bicycle with a smug look on his face.
The security guard laughed and teased, "After all, people are in high spirits when they are happy. Even Professor Shen, who is usually serious, has been smiling these days."
Hearing this joke, Zhou Yunwan couldn't hide her smile. When Chen Yanli put down his bicycle and walked into the security room, she frowned slightly: "You ran here again? Your forehead is covered with sweat."
Why did he have to run every time he saw her? She is not in a hurry.
Hearing this, Shen Yanli subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead, and the next second, a soft cloth replaced his hand and helped him wipe away all the sweat.
Chen Yanli's eyelashes trembled, and the look in his eyes as he stared at her became more and more gentle and passionate. Zhou Yunwan, who was wiping his sweat, felt embarrassed by his gaze. She noticed the auntie smile on the corner of the security guard's mouth and coughed twice to remind him to restrain himself.
Shen Yanli then reluctantly retracted his gaze, and then he thought of something, took off his white coat, tore off the work badge on it and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and then handed the white coat to the security uncle for temporary safekeeping.
The security uncle agreed, but he didn't forget to tease: "Hey, Professor Shen, are you in such a hurry to get your license that you even forgot to change into your work clothes?"
Chen Yanli stared at Zhou Yunwan without blinking, and said with a slight curl of his thin lips: "It is quite urgent."
Zhou Yunwan's cheeks flushed and she glared at him coquettishly.
The arc of Shen Yanli's mouth deepened, he reached out and held her wrist, and said goodbye to the security uncle: “Then we will leave first.”
Having said that, he couldn't wait to pull her out the door, urging her to get on his back seat quickly.
Zhou Yunwan chuckled helplessly: "Is it that serious, Professor Shen?"
Although she said so, she still cooperated and quickly put her arms around his waist and sat on him steadily.
Shen Yanli kicked his long legs, and the bicycle immediately rushed out like the wind. His deep voice also floated into her ears with the wind: "Marrying you as my wife is extremely urgent."
