“I’ll accompany you.” Yan Yuanfei smiled at her. “Doctor Wen, I have to know if there’s anything wrong with my body before I can leave, right?”
Wen Ruoshui’s face was stern as she said firmly, “There definitely won’t be a problem.”
“Yes.” Yan Yuanfei smiled, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. He also wanted to live healthily forever and stay by her side.
However, he knew very well that his body was slowly changing.
Wen Ruoshui stayed at the research institute, and so did Yan Yuanfei.
The lounge of the research institute was a dormitory for everyone.
The dormitory was built according to a hotel’s standards. It was a standard suite with whatever one wanted, but there was only one bed.
Wen Ruoshui took a shower and came out.
Yan Yuanfei was sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe. His hair was still wet, and there was a computer on the table in front of him that was displaying some documents.
Wen Ruoshui’s eyes flashed with obvious heartache. With such work intensity, one had to have a body made of iron to ensure that one would not fall sick. She walked over. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Yan Yuanfei looked up at her and smiled gently. “I’ll sleep after reading this document. You sleep first.”
“Okay.” Wen Ruoshui ran to get a hairdryer and a very long socket. Then, she brought the socket to the sofa and plugged in the hairdryer to blow-dry his hair. “Mr. Yan, dry your hair first before looking at the documents. Otherwise, how are you going to work when your body collapses?”
His hard work was for the country and the people. His job was so great that all she could do was support him by his side.
“Thank you, Ms. Wen.” Yan Yuanfei enjoyed her service. The smile on his lips became gentler, and tears welled up in his eyes.
This kind of life was really good.
Wen Ruoshui dried his hair and smiled. “Mr. Yan, work hard.”
However, Yan Yuanfei suddenly stood up and took the hairdryer from her hand. He pressed her shoulder and made her sit on the sofa. He smiled. “It’s my turn to serve you now.”
Wen Ruoshui sat on the sofa and glanced at the documents on the table. There were hundreds of pages, and the content was all about the country and the people’s livelihood.
“I’m going to the south tomorrow.” Yan Yuanfei dried her hair as he spoke to her. His slender fingers massaged her head gently.
“About the power station?” Wen Ruoshui saw the document. Since he had not closed the document in front of her, he did not want to hide it from her. “Can others go?”
Besides, it was not a major secret. He did not mind her knowing, and she would not tell anyone about it.
“Other people can go.” Yan Yuanfei’s voice was gentle. “However, I have to go and see such a big event with my own eyes before I can be at ease.”
“How long until you’ll be back?” Wen Ruoshui kept feeling that she could not let go. Ever since Chu Chu had left, she felt that things were even more unpredictable. When they could be together, she would cherish the time they had together.
“At least a week or half a month.” Yan Yuanfei frowned slightly. When he looked at her, his eyes were gentle, and his eyes were staring at her.
“Oh.” Wen Ruoshui nodded. “That’s good. The examination report will be out before you leave.”
Yan Yuanfei dried her hair and put everything away. Upon seeing her still sitting on the sofa, he said, “Go and rest quickly.”
She had a habit of being picky about beds. Every time she went to a new place, she would have to get used to it for a period of time. She definitely did not rest well. Her complexion was not bad, but the red blood vessels under her eyes and the dark circles under her eyes were especially obvious after taking a shower.
“I’m not tired.” Wen Ruoshui was sitting on the sofa reading a medical book. She turned her head to look at him and muttered, “We can focus on our own tasks. I won’t disturb you.”
“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei knew that he could not dissuade her. In his heart, he also wanted her to accompany him. When he thought about how he would be going on a business trip tomorrow and would not see her for half a month, he already started to miss her.
Ever since they started dating, the two of them had been busy. Sometimes, he would go on business trips, and sometimes, she would go on business trips. Often, they would not see each other for half a month. They could only contact each other on the phone.
If he went on a secret mission, even contacting her on the phone and listening to her voice would be a luxury. They both understood how precious their days together were.
Although Wen Ruoshui said she was not sleepy, she kept yawning.
Yan Yuanfei looked at the little girl beside him lovingly. She had even said that she was not tired. How tired was she? He asked her if she was still stubborn and said that she was not tired. She was just short of holding up her eyelids to read. Before long, her body tilted and her chin was on his shoulder as she fell asleep.
“Shui Shui?” Yan Yuanfei’s voice was gentle, and his eyes were filled with heartache. His slender fingers gently tapped the tip of her pink and perky nose. He sighed softly and gently helped her onto the sofa before getting up to pick her up by the waist and placing her on the bed.
Wen Ruoshui hugged his hand and muttered dreamily, “I’m not sleepy.”
Yan Yuanfei smiled and leaned over to kiss her gently. He stared at her lovingly for a long time before saying, “Goodnight.”
When Wen Ruoshui opened her eyes the next day, the man on the sofa had already disappeared. The room was already empty, and she could only smell some of his lingering aura.
She covered her head with the blanket, an empty sense of disappointment rising in her. All that was left was the emptiness in her heart that could not be filled without him by her side.
She knew very well that he had left.
It was already eight in the morning. All his physical examination reports were placed on the bedside table. The signature of the director of the research institute showed that he had already given him a diagnosis. There was nothing abnormal about his body.
On the wall on her left was the handwriting he had left behind: Doctor Wen, Director Liu said that I’m very healthy. Don’t worry. Breakfast is on the table. Remember to eat when you get up. I’m leaving.
She looked at the man’s handwriting in a daze, her eyes sore and swollen. In the end, she carefully put the note away and got out of bed.
The breakfast on the table was a bowl of noodles.
The noodles and condiments were placed separately. It was obvious that he had personally made them before he left.
Wen Ruoshui did not know what time he went to bed. If possible, she really did not want him to continue working so hard.
Sometimes, he felt that his job was the greatest job in the world.
Sometimes, she felt that it was better not to work. She did not want him to become a great and respected person. She would rather he be an ordinary person.
If he was just an ordinary person, he could go to work on time, get off work on time, and rest on time. They could go to work together, get off work together, eat together, take walks together after dinner, and sleep together. She could drag him to shop with her on weekends and watch movies.
