"If you feel unwell, be sure to call me! Also, remember to eat quickly!"
Old Peng gave Ji Qingzhou a lot of instructions, and when he saw that Ji Qingzhou had complied with them, he turned around and left.
But she kept looking back as she walked along this stretch of road, as if she was worried about her pregnant disciple.
Ji Qingzhou maintained a relaxed smile, pretending to be relaxed, and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Master."
Until he watched his master completely disappear at the end of the corridor, his legs, which had been holding on and trembling slightly the whole time, suddenly bent and his body almost fell down.
No matter how strong your physical strength is, it is impossible to stand in front of the operating table for more than ten hours in a row, which is both mentally and physically demanding.
Ji Qingzhou sighed, rubbed his sore eyes, and walked towards the office.
She prepared to drink some spiritual spring water to refresh herself and sat down to rest for a while.
She couldn't fall asleep until the first half of the night was over.
These days, Ji Qingzhou has been sleeping on the simple coarse cloth sofa in the office.
Every night, the office is extremely quiet.
Originally she enjoyed the quietness, but now she has something on her mind, and an overly quiet environment only makes her feel uneasy.
Ji Qingzhou walked to the office door, holding on to the wall. After hesitating for a moment, he did not go in and sat down on the bench at the door.
Directly opposite the bench is a window.
There was no one outside the office door in the early morning, only a soft moonlight shone through the glass and fell in front of her.
Ji Qingzhou looked out the window following the moonlight.
"It's the full moon night again..."
The last time I saw a full moon was the night before Xie Yanbei left.
It's been so long.
He should still be reporting to the army now, right?
I don't know when I can come back...
The closer I get to home, the more timid I feel.
When he was far away abroad, she just hoped that he would be safe.
But when she knew that he had returned, she couldn't help but miss him and wanted to see him as soon as possible.
Ji Qingzhou closed his eyes helplessly.
It was extremely quiet all around, and I was afraid that this longing would get out of control.
Ji Qingzhou simply forced himself to replace the image of Xie Yanbei in his mind with possible emergencies and response plans that might occur during the critical period of Shen's parents.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help frowning.
"It would be great if we could use more advanced instruments from later generations during surgery..."
In this way, the chances of recurrence and infection after surgery can be reduced by at least half.
In this era, there are not even ICU wards.
The recovery ward that Shen's parents went to after the operation was already the best in the hospital.
But judging from the medical standards of later generations, it was still very crude.
She sincerely felt that it was very inconvenient.
As he was thinking, Ji Qingzhou's thoughts drifted to the researcher who died today after failed rescue efforts.
Whenever Ji Qingzhou thought of the moment when he lost his vital signs and completely left the world, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness and couldn't help but blame himself.
If she had improved her medical skills a little more, considered things more comprehensively, and anticipated this situation earlier, he might not have died...
Ji Qingzhou sighed and leaned back against the wall somewhat weakly.
The moonlight does not understand people's sorrow. It silently shines through the glass and spreads on Ji Qingzhou's face and body.
Her beautiful features were made even clearer and more distinct, as if carefully outlined with thick ink.
But that face was almost blending into the moonlight, pale and fragile.
The person who happened to appear at the end of the corridor was stunned and subconsciously quickened his pace, as if the person in front of him would disappear in the moonlight if he was a little late.
"Light boat."
The man's voice suddenly rang out, echoing in the corridor.
There was a hint of anxiety and heartache in the tone that was always restrained and calm.
Ji Qingzhou suddenly turned his head and stared blankly at the figure he had just missed, as if he was in a dream.
She pressed her temples and squinted in disbelief, unable to make out what was going on.
"Am I hallucinating from exhaustion, or is this real?"
Shouldn't Xie Yanbei still be reporting on his work and writing materials in the army at this time?
Ji Qingzhou immediately stood up, wanting to see more clearly.
However, she had consumed too much energy and stood up too quickly, and her vision went dark and she swayed violently.
Xie Yanbei frowned slightly, took two steps at a time, stepped forward, and took the thin body steadily into his arms, letting her lean on his chest.
He lowered his head, caressed the top of her head tenderly, and placed small kisses on her brows one by one.
"It's me, wife, I'm back."
Only when he looked closer did Xie Yanbei see the fatigue in Ji Qingzhou's eyes.
Those eyes that were originally bright and lively were now filled with fatigue and dim, like pearls fallen into dust.
The person in his arms was as fragile as a piece of old paper that had been weathered for many years and would break at the slightest touch. Xie Yanbei didn't even dare to hug her too tightly.
He rubbed his cheek against her head lovingly, and countless words of heartache and longing came to his lips, but in the end he only said one sentence.
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Ji Qingzhou was originally trying hard to hold on and stay alert, hoping to hold on a little longer.
But when she actually touched this familiar body and heard his caring tone ringing in her ears.
Knowing that this person had truly returned to him, all of Ji Qingzhou's fatigue seemed to have found an outlet.
A sense of security emerges instinctively.
All the fatigue and anxiety melted in this embrace.
When he's gone, she has to bear it alone.
Now that he was here, she could finally entrust herself to him.
She collapsed into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face in his shoulder.
The cool tip of her nose pressed against his skin, and her voice was muffled and a bit coquettish.
"Why are you back so soon? Brother Shen said you were still reporting on your work."
Xie Yanbei stroked her back gently, coaxing her like a child, his tone uncharacteristically gentle.
"I knew you were in the hospital and was worried about you, so I applied to my supervisor, went through the simple process, and rushed over."
He put an arm around her waist and frowned slightly.
"Have you not been eating well these days? You've lost weight."
Ji Qingzhou snorted like a kitten, feeling a little guilty, and tried to get away with it.
"That should be...no more than three pounds at most!"
Xie Yanbei raised his eyebrows slightly, and became interested for a rare time, arguing seriously with the person in his arms.
"Only three pounds? I feel like it's at least five pounds."
Ji Qingzhou felt as if she was stabbed, and immediately remembered that when she used the holographic simulator at noon, the machine automatically detected and reported her weight.
It really is five kilograms...
She curled her lips: "Are you a human scale? You can feel this."
Xie Yanbei lowered his eyes and looked at her half-closed eyelids, and said softly:
"Everything about you is in my heart."
He lowered his head and kissed her brow lovingly.
Ji Qingzhou blushed slightly and protested deliberately.
"Why did you kiss me secretly?"
