Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

"I'll listen to you..." Cui Ying smiled happily, her face slightly flushed.

The thought of Chen Ping being able to pin her down after marriage filled Cui Ying with anticipation.

This might be a physiological attraction, a desire for Chen Ping's body.

"Chen Ping, we..."

Su Meng suddenly pushed open the door to the consultation room.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Cui Ying pressing Chen Ping's head down, and the two of them had very ambiguous expressions.

Upon seeing that it was Su Meng, Chen Ping jumped up in a flash.

Su Meng's expression was somewhat complicated. She glanced at Cui Ying, then said to Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, let's go sign the agreement. We need to get back before dark."

"Oh well!"

Chen Ping straightened his clothes and walked out of the consultation room.

A group of people signed the agreement in Zhao Guosheng's office.

Several school leaders took turns reviewing the terms and conditions. Director Zhou pointed to the safety and security clause and asked, "Dr. Chen, what happens if a student has an accident during their internship?"

"Your school buys insurance for the students, and our health center will cooperate in handling the situation. Safety management is our responsibility. If it's a minor bump or scratch, we won't notify the school if we can handle it ourselves."

"In the event of serious injury or death, we will notify the school immediately, then send the injured to the hospital and claim insurance."

Chen Ping said as if he had already thought it through.

Director Zhou nodded: "Okay, I have no objection."

Su Meng said, "If everyone agrees, then sign."

Su Meng was the first to write her name on the agreement, and also pressed her fingerprint and stamped it.

Zhao Guosheng also signed the document and affixed the health center's seal.

The entire process took less than half an hour.

Su Meng put the agreement back into the file folder, stood up and said, "Dean Zhao, the first batch of five students can report tomorrow, but the journey is long. I hope you can send one person to bring the five students tomorrow."

"After all, they just graduated from school. We're worried about sending five kids such a long way by car."

"Huh?" Zhao Guosheng was taken aback; he wasn't prepared.

The health center only has a few people, so who should go?

Wang Jianguo is not young anymore, and Wang Tao and Liu Wei have gone for further studies, so we can't let Sun Xiaoyan and Li Fang, these female comrades, go instead.

As for Chen Ping, Zhao Guosheng felt embarrassed to let Chen Ping run away again.

After all, Chen Ping had just returned from Tianhai City, and it would be too much of a hassle to travel back.

Chen Ping noticed Zhao Guosheng's worry and said, "Dean, I'll go instead. I'll take their school's bus back."

"Once I've selected the students tomorrow, I'll take a taxi and bring five of them here. That way it'll be safer."

Seeing that Chen Ping had volunteered, Zhao Guosheng patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Chen. I feel a little bad that you've been running around like this."

"It's nothing for the sake of the institute's development," Chen Ping said with a smile.

Su Meng glanced at Chen Ping, seemingly anticipating that he would follow her back.

"It's getting late, let's go!"

Su Meng stood up, and everyone followed her out of the office.

After the school leaders got into the car, and Chen Ping followed, Cui Ying was a little confused.

"Chen Ping, what's wrong with you...?"

"I'll go back and pick up the interns tomorrow. I don't feel comfortable letting them come on their own," Chen Ping explained.

"oh!"

Cui Ying then understood what was going on and said to Chen Ping through the car window, "Come sleep at home tonight. I'll have Mom leave the door open for you. Don't go to a hotel."

"I understand!" Chen Ping nodded.

The car slowly drove away, and Cui Ying's face showed a hint of loneliness.

They had just returned when Chen Ping left again. They hadn't even spent a few days together after confirming their relationship.

I can't even find anyone to kiss.

"Cui Ying, don't look so sullen. It's not like Dr. Chen isn't coming back. He'll be back tomorrow. Just bear with it."

Looking at Cui Ying's expression, Li Fang teased her.

"Sister Fang, you're making fun of me again..." Cui Ying chased after Li Fang and started playfully hitting her.

In the departing van, Su Meng sat next to Chen Ping again.

I don't know if it was intentional or deliberate.

"How is Cui Ying's massage technique?" Su Meng suddenly asked.

"I'm alright. I drank too much last night and have a headache. Could you massage it for me?" Chen Ping said casually.

Su Meng fell silent. In the five years of their marriage, she had never massaged Chen Ping's head.

Looking back now, it seems that Chen Ping has always given the most to this family.

After a moment of silence, Su Meng spoke again, "Chen Ping, pay more attention to these students. They don't have high academic qualifications, but they can learn something real from here, which will make it easier for them to find jobs in the future."

Chen Ping nodded: "I know."

Su Meng looked at him, her lips moved slightly, "I know your character, you won't be bad at teaching students."

Chen Ping grunted in response, but didn't say anything more.

And so, the two of them did not exchange a single word during the several-hour journey.

It was already completely dark when the van entered the city.

The streetlights receded in rows, and Su Meng leaned against the window, her profile illuminated by the passing lights.

Chen Ping sat in the back row with his eyes closed. He wasn't asleep, but he didn't want to talk.

The other school leaders on the bus were also tired, and no one started the conversation.

The car turned onto the main road and slowed down.

Chen Ping opened his eyes and saw the shops with their lights on at the intersection ahead. He sat up straight and said, "Director Zhou, please let me off at the intersection ahead. I have something to do."

Director Zhou turned around, still looking a little tired: "Dr. Chen, it's getting late, why don't you grab a bite to eat before you go? It's on me, one more meal won't hurt."

Chen Ping shook his head: "No need to trouble yourself. I'll treat Director Zhou another day. You've come all this way today, so you should all go back and rest early."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Director Zhou did not try to persuade him further and told the driver to stop the car on the side of the road.

Chen Ping got out of the car and closed the door behind him.

Su Meng glanced at him through the car window, said nothing, and only nodded slightly.

The car window rolled up, and the taillights merged into the traffic ahead, disappearing from sight in no time.

Chen Ping stood by the roadside for a while.

The wind was a bit stronger than before, making his coat collar flap up and down.

He didn't actually have anything specific to say; he just didn't really want to go to Cui Ying's house.

Chen Ping felt somewhat embarrassed when Cui Ying's mother found out about his affair.

Although for those who have been through it, this is nothing.

Which man hasn't done this kind of thing?

But Chen Ping felt awkward and was very resistant to it.

He's in his thirties, and this kind of thing happened on the very first night he went to his girlfriend's house. He was really embarrassed.

Chen Ping randomly picked a restaurant, intending to grab a bite before making any decisions.

Just as he was about to enter the restaurant, his cell phone rang.

Chen Ping took out his phone and saw a message from Lin Xiaoran: "Have you come to Tianhai?"

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and was about to reply with "How did you know?" when the second one came: Crossroads, look to the left.

Chen Ping turned around and saw a black Mercedes parked by the roadside. Lin Xiaoran was sitting in the driver's seat, her elbows resting on the window sill, waving at him.

Chen Ping tossed his phone back into his pocket and crossed the pedestrian crossing.
