Su Tang's tone was very polite and distant, and she was very calm when facing Chen Zhengnian.
It seemed that in her eyes, Chen Zhengnian in front of her was no different from the countless patients she had treated.
"Doctor Su, Chen Lu won't give away his things easily, so please accept them."
"At least in this area of the northwest, you won't have any more trouble."
The guard standing at the door said something with a smile, but Su Tang still didn't take it.
Just like she said, saving him is her duty.
If it were someone else, she would also give her all, not to mention that Chen Zhengnian was injured for the country.
Besides, Lu Xiao is the one who can protect her, so there is no need for other men.
Su Tang turned around and was about to leave, but the guard reached out to block her way.
Chen Zhengnian behind her looked at her back and waved his hand to let her go.
Su Tang left without hesitation.
She didn't like Chen Zhengnian's eyes, which were very oppressive, as if he wanted others to obey him.
As Su Tang walked out of the intensive care unit, he heard the voice of guard Chen Zhengnian behind him: "Doctor Su, please stay."
She did not stop, blocking out the inquiring gaze.
Guard Xiao Li caught up with him and said, "Doctor Su, Brigade Commander Chen said that if you refuse to accept the military badge, you must accept this."
He handed over an envelope of astonishing thickness.
"This is……"
"Get out of the way."
Su Tang's voice became a little colder. He didn't expect Chen Zhengnian to use this method.
By taking the patient's money, does he want to harm her?
Xiao Li froze in place, looking at her back and scratching his head.
I didn't do what Brigade Chen asked me to do, and I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I get back.
In the intensive care unit, Chen Zhengnian put the military emblem back under his pillow.
He stared at the chandelier on the ceiling and a low laugh escaped his throat.
This woman is quite interesting, but she is married.
In the next few days, Su Tang rarely went to Chen Zhengnian's ward. Even when he wanted to meet him, he would just finish his own things and leave.
That day, just after Su Tang measured his blood pressure, the door of the ICU was suddenly kicked open.
A woman in a cheongsam rushed in carrying a lunch box. When she saw Chen Zhengnian, her eyes immediately turned red: "Zhengnian! How did you get yourself into this state?"
Chen Zhengnian frowned: "Who asked you to come?"
"If I don't come, are you going to throw your life away here?"
The woman slammed the food box on the table, and her eyes became sharp when she swept over Su Tang.
"You performed the surgery on Zhengnian? Are you kidding me about a pregnant doctor's life?"
Su Tang took off his stethoscope and met her gaze: "He is recovering well, and the infection indicators after surgery are normal."
"Besides, being pregnant didn't prevent me from bringing him back from the brink of death."
"normal?"
The woman sneered and reached out to open the medical record.
"You know my cousin's job, right? I want to see what level of doctor dares to take on this kind of surgery..."
"Lin Man!"
Chen Zhengnian's voice was cold and he stared at the woman.
"go out."
Lin Man's hands froze in mid-air, biting her lip aggrievedly: "I'm just worried about you..."
"go out."
Chen Zhengnian repeated, and the coldness in his eyes made Lin Man shiver.
She glared at Su Tang fiercely, stomped her feet and ran out.
The ward returned to silence. Su Tang closed the medical record and said, "Visiting hours must follow the regulations. Next time, let the guards keep him away."
"She is my distant cousin."
Chen Zhengnian suddenly explained: "I've been spoiled since I was a child."
Su Tang didn't respond and turned to leave, but he stopped her: "Doctor Su, I will be transferred to the military sanatorium next week, you..."
"Mr. Chen's follow-up treatment will be taken over by a dedicated person."
Su Tang interrupted him and paused as he opened the door: "Take your medicine on time and don't get angry like you did today."
The moment the door closed, Chen Zhengnian watched her back disappear at the end of the corridor, and he slowly loosened his clenched fists.
A week later, the news of Chen Zhengnian's transfer to another hospital spread throughout the hospital.
Su Tang was doing a prenatal checkup on a pregnant woman. When he heard the nurses talking about how impressive the escort convoy was, he just nodded lightly.
After Chen Zhengnian left, she felt relieved.
After all, Chen Zhengnian always made her feel an invisible sense of oppression.
The sun was setting when she got off work. When she walked out of the hospital gate, she saw Lu Xiao leaning against the jeep.
The man was wearing a casual uniform, and the star emblem on his shoulder gleamed in the afterglow.
"Not busy today?"
Su Tang walked over with a smile and was held firmly by his waist.
"No matter how busy I am, I have to pick up my little doctor after get off work."
Lu Xiao bent down and kissed the top of her head: "I heard that Chen Zhengnian passed away?"
"Um."
Su Tang got into the passenger seat: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
He had mentioned Chen Zhengnian to Lu Xiao before, but it was obvious that Chen Zhengnian's rank was relatively high, and even Lu Xiao didn't know about it.
So Su Tang never mentioned it again.
Lu Xiao started the car, and the hospital in the rearview mirror was getting farther and farther away.
Lu Xiao held her hand and put it to his lips: "Don't do anything risky in the future, I will be worried."
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Su Tang looked at his profile and nodded softly.
Some encounters are destined to be just chance encounters, just like the sandstorms in the Gobi Desert, which leave only stones after they pass by.
But Su Tang didn't know at that time that some seeds planted in the heart will always break through the ground at some unexpected moment even if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"I'll take you to the county town today."
On the way, Lu Xiao suddenly said something.
"Hmm? What are you going to the county town for?"
Su Tang was a little confused, and Lu Xiao smiled without explaining.
"You'll know when you get there. Go pick someone up."
Lu Xiao didn't say anything, and Su Tang didn't ask any more questions. She was just a little curious. Who was the person he was talking about? Was he his relative?
With the car, the two of them quickly arrived at the county town.
At the train station, Lu Xiao picked up a girl. When the girl saw Lu Xiao, she ran over.
"Cousin! Cousin-in-law!"
The little girl with pigtails ran over and said with a smile.
"Cousin, you are so beautiful. I heard my aunt say you were pretty before, and I was curious. You are even prettier than what my aunt said in the letter."
Wang Xinxin put down the luggage and spoke happily while holding Su Tang's hand.
Lu Xiao shook his head, picked up his luggage and explained to Su Tang somewhat helplessly.
"This is my aunt's daughter, Wang Xinxin. She passed the exam to become an agricultural assistant in the northwest, and came here specifically for this job."
"I used to study at Shanghai University. I heard that your parents taught at Shanghai University, right?"
Now Su Tang understood why Lu Xiao said it was a surprise.
Wang Xinxin and she are classmates, so they will have more topics to talk about when they are together, so she won't feel bored here alone.
"Yes, yes. I heard from my aunt that you studied at a university in Shanghai and even went to England!"
Wang Xinxin's face was full of envy and admiration. The little girl was lively and talkative. She had said a lot since she came out of the train station.
"I'll put the luggage in the car. You two wait here for me. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things later."
