Jiang Xingye ran ahead, chased by a group of people holding weapons.
"Stop, or we’ll shoot!" shouted the airport security personnel.
Soone suddenly intervened from the side and lunged at Jiang Xingye, but he jumped up, kicked the fence, and easily crossed the obstacle set specifically for him.
"Huanhuan, Xu Qinghuan!" Jiang Xingye rushed into the tarmac, watching the cabin door slowly close, he dashed toward it recklessly.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the ground near Jiang Xingye’s feet, sending dust flying onto his legs, which stung sharply, yet he seed oblivious.
"Take off!" said Huo Chi.
"Wait!"
Xu Qinghuan felt the distant barrier of a cabin door, Jiang Xingye’s voice grew more distinct, she rushed to the half-opened cabin door, just in ti to see a dark muzzle aid at Jiang Xingye.
The people behind saw that he was stubborn and refused to hold back.
"Stop!" Xu Qinghuan jumped off the plane.
Jiang Xingye was scared out of his wits and caught Xu Qinghuan directly, heedless of his brush with death, and the people behind, witnessing the scene, lowered their weapons.
"Doctor Xu, do you know this comrade?" The security leader gasped, what an experience of speed and passion even beyond the battlefield.
"Sorry, he’s my fiancé, he ca to find !" Xu Qinghuan got off Jiang Xingye and tightly gripped his hand.
The terror just now didn’t escape her notice of his panic and unease, she first thought that Jiang Xingye must not have seen the note she left behind, whether it was, he definitely misunderstood her departure.
"Can I speak with him for a mont?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
"Please do!"
The security arranged to push the ladder back swiftly, surely Doctor Xu would board the plane after speaking.
Huo Chi also ca down.
Xu Qinghuan pulled Jiang Xingye aside, she saw his reddened eyes, his tightly pursed lips in grievance, resembling a wet dog, causing a dull pain in her chest, "Xingye, what’s wrong, what happened?"
Jiang Xingye said nothing, gripping her hand tightly; his unwillingness for her to leave was profoundly evident, though he couldn’t voice it.
The decision made in the past, thinking he could easily let go in the future, seed like a joke.
Xu Qinghuan understood, taking out a handkerchief, she gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Xingye, would you like to co with to Yan City? When I’ve finished my business, we can co back together?"
Jiang Xingye suddenly looked up at Xu Qinghuan, "Will you really co back?"
"Of course, you’re here, how could I not return?" Xu Qinghuan smiled, shaking their tightly held hands, "Besides, it’s not ti for us to leave the Shangjiang Team yet."
The mont was overwhelming, Jiang Xingye was dazed by the turn of events, his eyes a bit moist; if the occasion were right, he wanted so much to hug her, kiss her.
He felt it was an illusion, perceiving no reality.
He boarded the plane holding Xu Qinghuan’s hand, sat in his position, and even during takeoff, the sensation of weightlessness couldn’t bring him back to his senses.
It was a chartered plane, so having one more person was negligible, and Jiang Xingye was Xu Qinghuan’s fiancé, accompanying her to Yan City didn’t provoke any comnts.
With Jiang Xingye, Xu Qinghuan felt quite at ease, leaning her head on Jiang Xingye’s shoulder to sleep throughout the journey.
With many people around, they didn’t converse much, most of the ti, Jiang Xingye kept gazing out of the window.
After flying for over two hours, the plane slowly landed at Yan City Airport, awakening Xu Qinghuan, while Jiang Xingye turned his gaze back to her face.
"Here?" Xu Qinghuan glanced through the porthole, seeing the increasingly clear ground scenes outside, she returned to Yanjing of more than forty years ago, countless tis had she circled above this city, awaiting landing.
Back then, skyscrapers and spider-web-like intertwined overpasses filled her view.
What bustling prosperity!
And now, only low and shabby buildings, barely visible roads, rain-soaked muddy suburban wasteland t the eye.
Huo Chi approached to ask Xu Qinghuan, "Is Comrade Jiang coming with us or planning differently?"
"He’s with , let’s go to the hospital first!" Xu Qinghuan replied.
"That’s fine."
A car ca to pick them up.
The Huo Family, hearing Huo Chi had invited a highly skilled doctor, felt much relieved, and when they finally arrived at the Army General Hospital, they found Huo Zhenqing staring at Xu Qinghuan, utterly surprised.
Is she the expert fetched across miles by chartered plane?
She’s not even eighteen, is she?
Those in high positions generally have more poise than ordinary people, and he didn’t directly lash out but glaring at his son, clearly reprimanding Huo Chi was evident.
Xu Qinghuan noticed but was indifferent, it wasn’t her who eagerly ca; moreover, she was repaying a favor, as for finally getting involved, she wasn’t concerned.
Repaying a favor suffices.
"Doctor Xu, would you like to join us to see the patient?" Shao Lizhong was unfailingly polite to Xu Qinghuan, which surprised Huo Zhenqing significantly.
If his son was unreliable, Shao Lizhong was a considerable man, could this young lady commander really possess so true skills?
"Dad, don’t underestimate Doctor Xu, she may appear young and beautiful, but she has real expertise. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have invited her to treat brother." Huo Chi softly cautioned.
Huo Zhenqing snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Xu Qinghuan donned a white coat, getting equipped, followed Shao Lizhong into the ward, while Jiang Xingye only followed to the door, seating himself on a chair in the corridor.
Yesterday, he traveled through the night; fortunately, eting a truck driver on a night shift, he flagged the truck down, swapping bikes to have himself taken to the airport, otherwise, catching the flight would have been impossible.
He should have been exhausted, but now his brain was overly excited, with no sense of fatigue.
Unexpectedly he found himself on a plane, unexpectedly arrived in Yan City, witnessing the contrast between city and countryside, Jiang Xingye’s feelings were complex. Huanhuan said they could enter the city soday. Could this be true?
Only after experiencing "loss" this ti did Jiang Xingye comprehend he couldn’t let go of her hand, the agony of that instant loss was unbearable.
Therefore, he must find a way to get into the city, ensure his place by her side at all costs, as to the eventual outco, he might not determine it, but he’ll exert utmost effort.
In the ward, Xu Qinghuan was ticulously examining Huo Zui’s wound, comparing two x-rays before checking the ti and saying, "Let’s schedule the surgery for seven tomorrow morning!"
It should ideally be sooner but taking into account, she must grant the Huo Family ti to consider.
"Could it be earlier?" Huo Chi asked anxiously.
Xu Qinghuan said nothing, rely cast a aningful look at Huo Zhenqing.
Huo Zhenqing was sowhat startled by her clarity, making a firm decision, "Let’s follow Doctor Xu’s arrangent!"
It wasn’t that he esteed Xu Qinghuan, it was because he needed to inquire about the girl’s situation before deciding on her performing surgery on his son.
Once the surgery failed, all hope would shatter.
Exiting the hospital, Xu Qinghuan walked with Jiang Xingye on Yan City’s streets; the guesthouse arranged by the Huo Family was rely a ten-minute walk from the hospital.
