Chapter 94 Arrival in Beijing!

Xue Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Then get in the car."

Although I also need to go to Beijing, there is a difference between my sister-in-law and me, as we are men and women. The journey will take four or five days on a slow train, and having a woman around would make it easier to take care of my sister-in-law's feelings.

Yu Qing opened the car door, got in, and asked with concern, "How is Commander Huo doing now?"

"I don't know, my grandfather has already gone to help."

"Who is your grandfather?"

"Xue Jing!"

Mentioning her grandfather, Xue Li raised her eyebrows and proudly lifted her chin, "Dr. Yu, have you heard of my grandfather's name?"

Xue Jing is a leading figure in the domestic medical field, known to everyone in the medical community. Although Yu Qing has not received formal medical education, she also knows of Mr. Xue's illustrious reputation.

Moreover, Mr. Xue was the chief editor of a certain medical book.

"know."

After saying that, Yu Qing looked Xue Li up and down with a strange gaze and asked curiously, "Then why did you join the army? Shouldn't you be a doctor?"

Xue Li: "..."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Why are you all so stereotypical? Just because my grandfather is a doctor, does that mean I have to be a doctor too?"

Almost everyone who had heard that their grandfather was 'Xue Jing' asked this question.

"Your whole family must be doctors, right?"

Xue Li did not refute. His family was a family of doctors, and he had been exposed to the smell of medicine since birth. He was forced to learn medicine under the influence of his family.

But he didn't like being a doctor.

As the eldest son in the family, he had no choice but to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Until her biological younger brother was born when she was fifteen.

From the time my younger brother could speak, he could recognize all kinds of medicinal herbs and know which medicine to prescribe for which symptoms. He understood everything immediately, like a child prodigy born to learn medicine.

Xue Li was relieved when her parents focused their attention on her younger brother!

At just seventeen years old, he resolutely chose to join the army to serve his country and went to the farthest northwest!
Yu Qing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made that stereotype. Serving in the army and studying medicine are both ways of serving the country."

She paused, then looked at Xue Li somewhat shyly, opened her mouth, and asked, "When we get to the capital, may I visit your grandfather sometime?"

"Visiting my grandfather?!"

"OK!"

As a leading figure in the domestic medical field, Mr. Xue Jing was someone Yu Qing wanted to get to know better, as her medical knowledge was still quite limited.

Suddenly, Xue Li remembered something. He was already twenty-four years old this year, and his family had been urging him to get married and have children, but they couldn't keep pushing him because the Northwest was far from the capital.

But this time, in order to bring Brother Huo back to Beijing, he'll definitely be pressured to his death!

He blinked and said, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"Pretend to be my girlfriend."

These days, free love is all the rage. If Dr. Yu helps me pretend to be my girlfriend when I go back to Beijing, I won't have to worry about being forced into an arranged marriage anymore!

"Uh……"

Yu Qing hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xue Li's sincere eyes, she nodded in agreement, "After we leave the capital, you can make up an excuse and say we broke up."

"no problem!"

During their conversation, Wen Ci walked out of the courtyard carrying two large suitcases. Upon seeing this, Xue Li immediately got out of the car and took them from her hands, saying, "Sister-in-law, let me do it."

"Ah."

Wen Ci had already taken off her flowing sleeves, but put them in her suitcase, thinking that the first thing Huo Jingyuan would see when he woke up was her dressed like this.

·
The atmosphere on the way to the city was extremely oppressive.

Yu Qing didn't know what words of comfort to say, so she held Wen Ci's hand the whole time.

When they arrived in Haishi, it was nearly 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Xue Li used the letter of introduction to book a room for Wen Ci and Yu Qing at the guesthouse.

He can sleep in the car. Other comrades will take over the car tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

The three of them took the earliest green train and left Northwest China.

The sleeper car was a four-person compartment. Wen Ci and Yu Qing occupied the lower berths, while Xue Li sat outside the sleeper car corridor during the day.

Four days is neither a long nor a short time.

It passed in the blink of an eye.

As the capital city, Beijing's train station was packed with people. Xue Li, carrying his luggage, asked, "Sister-in-law, should we go to the hospital first?"

Critically ill patients are generally not allowed to have their family members enter the ward. Xue Li thought he should go back to the military compound first to put his things down and ask about Brother Huo's current condition.

"Hospital."

"Row."

As the group walked out of the train station onto the wide road, Xue Li waved for a taxi, as the city hospital was some distance from the train station.

"Jiang Ci is here."

Wen Ci looked in the direction of the sound and saw a military off-road vehicle parked on the opposite side of the road. The driver's side window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face.

It was her biological brother, Jiang Chen.

"Your parents asked me to pick you up and take you to the hospital."

Wen Ci lowered his eyelids slightly, "Let's go."

In the 1980s, taxi fares were extremely expensive, costing several yuan for a journey of just a few kilometers. Now, with free drivers, why not take a ride?

Xue Li sat in the passenger seat, while Wen Ci and Yu Qing sat in the back.

After getting into the car, Xue Li felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. She looked at the two people in the back seat through the mirror inside the car, and then glanced at the man driving.

I'm a little confused. Aren't my sister-in-law and him siblings?!

Why do we look a little unfamiliar?
After a long pause, Xue Li asked, "Brother-in-law, how is Brother Huo doing now?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment when he heard "sister-in-law brother," then replied, "I don't know the specifics, but there's no immediate danger to his life."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci felt a weight lift from her shoulders.

As long as there is no danger to life, it's not a big deal!
Xue Li also let out a long breath and said with relief, "It's good that there's no danger to his life. At worst, he can rest for a few months and be a hero again."

After driving for about ten minutes, we arrived at Beijing City Hospital.

Xue Li had been playing at the city hospital since she was a child, so she knew the hospital like the back of her hand. She led Wen Ci and Yu Qing to the inpatient surgery building.

There are security guards stationed downstairs in the building.

Xue Li walked over and leaned his hands against the window of the security room, smiling as he said, "Uncle Zhang, long time no see!"

"Little Xue, what brings you back?!"

Xue Li: "..."

Hearing the familiar nickname, he felt an urge to facepalm and turned to look at Yu Qing. "Don't overthink it, Uncle Zhang is a native of Beijing, he has a natural accent!"

But the accent sounded like he was being called a eunuch.

"How is the patient my grandfather treated now?"

"It's a quiet period, and we've already missed the time for prison visits."

Xue Li blinked. "Could you please make an exception for me?"

"No, your brother can."

Xue Li: "???"

He seemed to have suffered a severe blow, and asked a soul-searching question: "My brother is at most ten years old, right? Why can he enter the building?"

Uncle Zhang slowly explained, "Your brother skipped a grade. Although he is young, he has been accompanying your grandfather on medical consultations since he was a child. His medical skills are now more than enough to be an intern."

Xue Li fell even more silent.
