Chapter 279: The Gift from Grandpa

Chapter 279: The Gift from Grandpa

Old Lu specially asked Xiao Zhang to drive them home.

But Ye Rufeng firmly disagreed.

"Brother, just listen to me. We're not that fussy. We don't need to be picked up and dropped off."

Old Master Lu wanted to speak again, but Ye Rufeng didn't give him the chance and said goodbye directly, "Alright, we're leaving."

After speaking, he walked straight ahead, dressed in a black Tang suit, his back view exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

He doesn't look like someone who's almost seventy.

Old Master Lu was truly envious of Ye Rufeng's physical condition.

Fortunately, after treatment, his health is much better than when Bai Zhi first came to Nancheng.

I feel like I can live a few more years.

Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi left the military compound, and Ye Rufeng hailed a taxi on the roadside.

After returning home, Bai Zhi went to wash up, but Ye Rufeng led Ye Qingbai into the living room.

He squinted at Ye Qingbai and asked in a low voice, "Kid, do you think there's a chance?"

Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's words, Ye Qingbai's face flushed slightly, and he habitually scratched his head, "I don't know either."

"If you like it, go for it and don't have any regrets." Ye Rufeng spoke with the air of a wise and experienced elder. "Both are unmarried, and it doesn't violate any principles. Give it a try."

Encouraged by Ye Rufeng, Ye Qingbai's confidence soared, and he stopped being coy. "Okay, Second Grandfather, I'll try my best."

Bai Zhi washed her face and had just entered the courtyard when she heard her cousin say, "I'll try my best," but she didn't know what he meant by trying his best.

She assumed they were just talking about their careers and didn't think much of it, so she went back to her room to rest.

After finishing her work, Bai Zhi lay in bed, and the image of someone unconsciously came to mind.

Xie Zheng asked her when Lu Ye would return, but she truly did not know.

If it's just about getting a certificate and completing procedures, two days should be enough.

To be honest, she had gotten used to seeing Lu Ye often during this period, and his sudden absence really made her feel uneasy.

It's okay when I'm busy during the day; when I'm completely absorbed in my work, I don't have time to think about him at all.

When she had free time, his image would always linger in her mind.

She would uncontrollably wonder what he was doing right now, and whether he was thinking of her too.

Bai Zhi turned over, forcing herself to fall asleep quickly.

She had a heavy workload ahead of her tomorrow, so she dared not let her thoughts run wild.

........

The next day, Bai Zhi was awakened by the crowing of a rooster belonging to someone nearby.

The houses in this area all have courtyards, which is very down-to-earth.

There are chickens and dogs kept in the yard.

They were used to the rooster crowing in the morning and the dogs barking at night.

Ye Rufeng said he would be seeing patients this afternoon and would rest this morning.

"Grandpa, does that mean the consultation sessions will only be half-days from now on?"

Ye Rufeng replied, "Yes, half a day in the morning and half a day in the afternoon the next day, the times are staggered, there aren't many patients right now."

Her grandfather doesn't go to work in the morning, but she has to go.

"I'll be going now, cousin. You're in charge of breakfast for the two of you."

Ye Qingbai smiled and replied, "No problem."

As soon as Bai Zhi left the house, Ye Rufeng and Ye Qingbai followed suit, and naturally, they also had their breakfast at a breakfast stall.

After arriving at the military hospital, Bai Zhi threw herself into the laboratory. Since Expert Wang was transferred from the research and development team, the attitudes of the other doctors have changed significantly.

Although Bai Zhi had always suspected that the expert Wang was a target being manipulated in the previous rat incident, she had no evidence.

There isn't much time to investigate issues that have already been decided.

Anyway, these big shots are now behaving properly and are humbly following her orders and commands.

My work situation has stabilized.

Everyone spends all day in the laboratory, with clear division of labor in researching and analyzing drugs and conducting experiments using traditional Chinese medicine ingredients.

Deputy Director Chen and Shen Qian both understand traditional Chinese medicine, so they followed Bai Zhi to study acupuncture and acupoint research.

After finishing her work, Bai Zhi took some time to go to the orthopedic surgery department alone to examine the female patient and begin treatment.

Although patient information is kept highly confidential, there are no impenetrable walls among colleagues.

After Bai Zhi visited the orthopedic surgery department several times, Shen Qian approached her and asked mysteriously if Bai Zhi had received another special patient.

Bai Zhi walked with her head held high and chest out, her steps quick. "Don't ask anything unnecessary."

"Dr. Xiaobai, I heard that comrade was a police officer who infiltrated a drug den alone and almost lost her life. Is her condition serious now?" Shen Qian ignored her words and continued to speak.

Bai Zhi was surprised by Shen Qian's excellent information network. She glanced at her and asked calmly, "Where did you hear that from?"

"I'm a military doctor, I have a wide network of connections, what don't I know?"

Bai Zhi didn't bring up the topic with Shen Qian just because she was well-informed. She said, "I'm just an ordinary TCM doctor. I'm only responsible for treating patients. I just do what the leaders tell me to do. I don't ask about anything else. Asking too much won't do any good."

"Go on with your work."

Bai Zhi is very principled and resolutely refuses to discuss things that shouldn't be talked about, knowing full well that loose lips sink ships.

In military hospitals, the most important thing is to always remember the confidentiality regulations.

Even if he has a personal relationship with Shen Qian, it doesn't matter.

Shen Qian changed the subject, "A-Zheng has a performance tomorrow night, did he invite you?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, I've been invited."

"Then let's go together."

"Okay, I'll check my time after get off work tomorrow. Dr. Lu should be going too, so let's go together."

......

When Bai Zhi returned home, the door was tightly shut.

She assumed her grandfather hadn't come home from get off work yet, so she took out her key to open the door.

Before she could even insert the key, the wooden door was opened from the inside.

The person who came into view was neither her maternal grandfather nor Ye Qingbai.

Instead, it was a red Jialing motorcycle.

There was also a big red flower hanging on it.

Bai Zhi, "???"

Just as she was wondering, Ye Qingbai popped out from behind the door with a smile.

Ye Rufeng also entered her line of sight with steady steps.

"Cousin, do you like it?" Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi with expectant eyes and said excitedly, "This is a surprise from your second grandfather."

"You bought this for me?" Bai Zhi knew the answer the moment she saw the motorcycle, but she still looked delighted, her eyes filled with excitement. "Of course I love it, this is such a wonderful surprise."

Bai Zhi hung her bag directly on the motorcycle handlebars, then pushed the motorcycle to test its feel.

She said with a smile, "Grandpa, didn't you say you wouldn't give me a dowry? I was planning to buy it myself this weekend."

Ye Rufeng stood there, his tone indifferent, "It's not part of the dowry. Buy it if you want."

Bai Zhi was just mentally criticizing the old man for being hypocritical when she heard him continue, "You can buy whatever you want anytime; you don't necessarily need a title."
