His voice was as loud as if he was reviewing his superiors, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Lin Banxia wanted to laugh at his sudden seriousness, but she saw him suddenly kneel on one knee, hold her hand and place it against his forehead.
This posture is like a knight taking an oath, or like the most devout believer worshiping his god.
"I swear by the military flag," he raised his head, the moonlight condensed into two dancing flames in his eyes, "from now on, my life will be kept by the country and Lin Banxia together."
His fingertips gently traced the lines on her palm, "Every time we go on a mission, there will be an extra safety line here."
…
It was late at night, and the only sounds in the room were the occasional chirping of insects outside the window and the mixing of their breathing.
Lin Banxia lay on her side in bed, and could clearly feel the body temperature coming from her. Gu Shiqing's shoulder was gently pressed against hers, and through the thin fabric of her pajamas, the temperature was like a small flame in winter, not hot, but hard to ignore.
She moved her arm slightly, and the back of her hand accidentally touched his hand.
Neither of them moved away, and they kept touching each other just yet not too far away.
Gu Shiqing's fingers moved slightly, and his little finger gently hooked hers, like a silent agreement.
The moonlight leaked in through the gap in the curtains, drawing a silver line on the bed sheet.
The invisible "Chu-Han River" once fell on the location of this light mark, but now no one cares about it anymore. Lin Banxia could smell the faint pine scent on him, mixed with a little bit of gunpowder smoke - that was his unique smell.
There were no more words, but the boundary that had stood between the two of them for so many days melted away silently on this moonlit night.
Lin Banxia was worried about going to work, so she woke up immediately when the wake-up call rang the next day.
Gu Shiqing brought breakfast, and the two of them went out after eating.
Gu Shiqing offered to take her to the clinic, but Lin Banxia refused: "No need, I made an appointment with Director Tao to go together."
Seeing Lin Banxia say this, Gu Shiqing didn't say anything, but took out a box of high-end biscuits from the cupboard and handed it to Lin Banxia, saying: "On the first day of work, bring something to share with your colleagues, which can quickly build closer relationships."
Zhou Shiyu works in the clinic. She and Lin Banxia don't get along. Gu Shiqing is a little worried that Lin Banxia will be isolated after leaving the clinic.
Lin Banxia glanced at him, took the biscuit box, and said with a smile: "Tsk, I didn't expect Captain Gu to be so capable. But what you said makes sense, so I'll take it."
"Okay, then I'll pick you up from get off work tonight." Gu Shiqing said.
"Okay." This time Lin Banxia did not refuse.
We went to the same place as yesterday, but Director Tao had not arrived yet, because there were still three minutes left before the time they agreed on yesterday.
Three minutes later, Director Tao arrived on time, and seeing Lin Banxia was already there, he nodded secretly. Not bad, he had a good sense of time, not only was he not late, he was even ahead of schedule.
On the other side, the military clinic.
Zhou Shiyu said to the two new nurses: "You are still in the internship period. You must study hard during this period. You can continue to stay only if you pass the assessment in time. If you don't perform well enough, I can fire you at any time."
She raised her chin and said, it was not easy to become the head nurse, so she must show off her power.
Thinking of Director Tao's notice yesterday, she added, "Director Tao said that there will be a new doctor coming to our clinic today. Everyone should give him a good welcome when he comes."
As soon as the words fell, the round-faced nurse noticed two people walking not far away and said, "Here comes Director Tao. Hey, isn't the person next to him Comrade Lin who came for the exam yesterday? Why did she come with Doctor Tao? Could she be the new doctor that Doctor Tao mentioned?"
The round-faced nurse had a good impression of Lin Banxia and felt sorry that Lin Banxia was not recruited into the clinic.
Thinking that this was a possibility, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Zhou Shiyu followed the round-faced nurse's line of sight and saw that the person following Director Tao not far away was indeed Lin Banxia.
But how is it possible? Lin Banxia is a new doctor? This is simply a fantasy!
It was not a big deal that Lin Banxia got the test paper right yesterday. She knew that Lin Banxia's grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor, so it was normal for her to know a little bit of medical knowledge. Moreover, the questions on the test paper were extremely simple, and Lin Banxia was just lucky to get them right.
But being a doctor is no joke!
"How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense. Do you think just anyone can be a doctor in our military clinic?" Zhou Shiyu said disdainfully.
Based on her understanding of Lin Banxia, it was probably because the health center confiscated Lin Banxia yesterday, and Lin Banxia was not convinced, so she wanted to complain to her superiors?
But what's the use? She is the head nurse of the clinic now, and she has the final say on who to hire.
"Hello, Director Tao." After Director Tao and Lin Banxia approached, Zhou Shiyu took the initiative to step forward and greet Director Tao.
Then he turned to Lin Banxia in surprise and said, "Banxia, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that our clinic only recruits graduates from medical schools? You are not going to complain to Director Tao because I didn't let you come to the clinic to be a nurse yesterday..."
Looking at Zhou Shiyu who was impatient, Lin Banxia raised the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
Zhou Shiyu really couldn't keep her cool. She hadn't said anything yet, but she blurted it out.
Director Tao glanced at Zhou Shiyu and it seemed that what Lin Banxia said yesterday was correct.
He glanced at Zhou Shiyu and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is the new doctor Lin Banxia from the clinic. Her grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and she has been learning Chinese medicine from him since she was a child. If you have any questions, you can ask her more."
