medical road with you

Chapter 109 Comeback
The next day, when Tianhai opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to touch Lu Ping's forehead.

"Fortunately, no fever!"

After muttering, Tianhai tried his forehead again.

Should not have a fever.

After Tianhai made these few movements, the wind entered the bed.

Feeling a chill on his shoulders, Lu Ping woke up.

"Woke up so early? You don't have to go to work today, so let's sleep later."

Lu Ping said that he was about to go back to sleep.

It was too late last night, and she was still a little sleepy.

Tianhai helped her shake off the corners of the quilt, and also got into the bed.

In the early morning of mid-winter, when the chill was the strongest, Lu Ping moved to Tianhai's side.

Lu Ping is afraid of the cold, Tianhai always looks like a stove, and Lu Ping likes to lean on him.

Feeling that the person next to him moved again, Tianhai directly stretched out his long arms, encircling the person completely.

"Is it not cold?" Tianhai asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Lu Ping replied in a daze.

"Sleep well." Tianhai kissed Lu Ping's forehead.

Lying in the warm embrace, Lu Ping soon fell asleep again.

Lu Ping felt comfortable, but Tianhai suffered.

Originally, he was covered with a quilt, with his feet stretched out, neither hot nor cold, just right.

Now, not only was he tightly wrapped in the quilt, but he was also hugged by a warm ball in his arms, pinching him from inside out, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out all over his body.

Tianhai backed away a little bit, leaving a little space to cool off, but after a while, Lu Ping came over.

Tianhai retreated a little more, and Lu Ping came closer again.

After several times like this, Tianhai gave up and simply hugged Lu Ping tightly.

If it's hot, it's hot, it won't die anyway, at most, get up and take a shower.

Finally feeling a little drowsy, half asleep and half awake, Lu Ping's cell phone rang.

Tianhai shuddered and woke up.

"Hello, who is it?" Afraid of waking Lu Ping, Tian Hai answered the phone for Lu Ping.

The opponent seemed to be taken aback for a moment: "Excuse me, is this Dr. Lu's phone number?"

"Yes, I am her lover."

"Oh, it's Mr. Jiang, this matter is the same as what you said."

But Tianhai frowned, who is this, he even found out his details: "Who are you?"

Li Gang laughed and said, "I'm Li Gang, from the epidemic prevention station. Doctor Lu reported a case of pneumonia to me yesterday."

Tianhai let out an oh, and the sky was terribly gloomy: "What's the matter?"

Li Gang's tone was still very polite: "It's like this. The pneumonia patient went to the clinic yesterday. All the people in your clinic are close contacts and need to be tested for nucleic acid."

"Understood, we will cooperate with your arrangement." Tianhai's tone was light: "There is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, wait a minute, there is something else I want to discuss with you." Li Gang's attitude seemed a little too good.

"Say!"

"That's right. I heard that your Anping Clinic has the latest nucleic acid detection equipment. Can you borrow your laboratory to test these close contacts?"

Hearing that the other party did not respond, Li Gang added: "Of course we will pay your inspection fee."

Tianhai's anger ignited immediately: "You also know that my wife is a close contact. I am still worried about whether she will be infected, but you want her to help you to test the nucleic acid?"

Li Gang immediately explained: "Doctor Lu doesn't need to test it himself, we can arrange personnel, just borrow your laboratory."

In fact, Li Gang had no choice. After he reported the case, the leader said: "Isolate the patient as soon as possible, and conduct nucleic acid screening for close contacts."

However, where to go to test the nucleic acid, the leader did not say a word.

The meaning is obvious, let him figure it out on his own.

Li Gang first contacted the laboratory of Huaguang Hospital, and they just said, if you want to requisition our laboratory, you must bring the approval note from the superior.

Several other large public hospitals had similar results.

As a last resort, Li Gang thought of the laboratory in Anping Clinic.

"Our laboratory is not for loan."

Tianhai refused straight away. The laboratory was a gift he carefully prepared for Lu Ping, so how could it be ruined by others.

"Whose call, what's the matter?" Lu Ping was still woken up.

"Doctor Lu, it's me, Li Gang from the epidemic prevention station."

Li Gang yelled loudly on the other end of the phone, and Lu Ping could hear him clearly even if the speakerphone was not on.

Lu Ping reached out and took the phone: "Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

Li Gang explained it again.

"Okay, I see. I'll discuss it with my husband."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ping slipped into Tianhai's arms and hugged him gently.

Tianhai didn't respond.

Lu Ping raised his head and kissed him gently on the face.

Tianhai still didn't respond.

Lu Ping raised his warm little hand and touched the place where it shouldn't be.

Before reaching the destination, the little hand was grasped by a big one.

Lu Ping smiled sweetly, and opened his mouth: "Husband."

Tianhai's face was gloomy: "Lu Ping, let me tell you, no matter what method you use, I will never promise you this matter."

In the past few years of marriage, Tianhai was angry sometimes, and sometimes he was very aggressive towards her, but it was the first time that he had such a serious expression.

Lu Ping also put away his hippie smile: "Tianhai, I know you are worried about me, but if we do nothing and hide at home, if the epidemic is really serious, we will be affected in the end. These things, we must Someone do it."

Tian Hai argued: "Someone needs to do it. However, there are people from the epidemic prevention department and people from public hospitals. It's not up to you, a little doctor from a private clinic, to charge forward."

"I didn't say I was going to charge forward. I didn't want to directly contact and treat patients. I was just studying viruses in the laboratory and doing experiments. Don't worry, those specimens have been processed. I will strengthen some protective measures , there will be no danger."

Tianhai still didn't answer.

Lu Ping could only take a step back: "Okay, let's ignore others. Let's test it first. From Li Gang's point of view, he hasn't found a nucleic acid test institution yet, and he won't be able to help us test it for free for a while. .”

"Okay, just the two of us."

Although both he and Lu Ping seem to be healthy now, but they haven't been tested, Tianhai is really worried.

Wrapped tightly and wearing two layers of masks, Tianhai took Lu Ping out.

The loudspeaker at the entrance of the community has already started to broadcast, but this time it is to remind everyone to prevent the epidemic.

Although it has been several years since the last epidemic, the panic at that time is still fresh in everyone's memory. When they heard that the epidemic broke out again, everyone hid one after another.

There were significantly fewer people on the street than before, and the small shops near the clinic were closed.

After entering the clinic, Tianhai and Lu Ping went straight to the laboratory.

Primers and medicines were ready-made, and Lu Ping took samples from Tianhai and himself for a mixed test of the two.

Mixed tests, as long as one person is positive, the result will be positive.

Listening to the humming of the machine, Tianhai, who was always calm, began to sweat in his palms.

Lu Ping patted his hand: "Don't worry, it should be fine."

"Yesterday, I was wearing a mask all the time, and the patient was wearing a mask almost all the time, so the chance of being infected should not be high."

Lu Ping was comforting Tianhai and himself.

After 10 minutes, the results finally came out.

"There is no fluorescent band, it is negative." Lu Ping couldn't restrain his excitement.

"That's good." Tianhai, who had been keeping his face straight since he woke up in the morning, showed a smile.

After packing up everything, Tianhai and Lu Ping were about to leave when a man in his 30s suddenly barged in.

His equipment is very complete, not only wearing a mask, but also wearing protective clothing.

"I heard that you can do nucleic acid testing here, can you test it for me?"

Through the protective clothing, his voice was a little muffled, but Lu Ping understood what he meant.

Lu Ping turned to look at Tianhai, asking for his opinion.

Tianhai pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lu Ping shook his head.

The man was in a hurry: "Although the confirmed case and I live in the same community, I have never met him face to face. Now I leave Seoul to ask for a nucleic acid test report. I go to a big hospital and say it will take two days to get it." In the end, but, my train tonight."

As he said that, the man was about to cry: "I haven't seen my daughter for half a year, and she almost can't remember her father."

Lu Ping wanted to cry, but Tianhai understood what he meant.

He wanted to leave here as soon as possible before the city of Seoul was closed.

Back then, when Seoul was closed for more than two months, it was not the local residents of Seoul who suffered the most, but those who came here to work temporarily.

Some people left before the city was closed, and some people stayed here forever before they had time to leave.

Now, there is only one case and people are so flustered, if there are really more.

Tianhai frowned.

"Hurry up and test him." Tianhai let go.

"Okay, follow me." Lu Ping led people to the testing room.

However, Tianhai took out his mobile phone and called Li Gang: "Okay, we can lend you our laboratory."

Li Gang is very grateful: "Thank you Mr. Jiang, we will definitely pay you according to the standard."

Tianhai hung up the phone directly.

Of course it's not because of the money issue, as Lu Ping said, if the epidemic really gets serious, they will be affected eventually.

The results came out quickly, and that person was also negative.

With the report in hand, the man thanked him and left.

For the next period of time, Tianhai and Lu Ping stayed at home, closely following the latest changes in the epidemic in Seoul.

However, except for one confirmed case reported on the first day, for more than ten consecutive days, there was not a single new case in Seoul, not even a positive asymptomatic patient.

Did it hide it on purpose?

Tian Hai was wondering when Li Gang called.

"Li Gang, is there really no new case in Seoul?" Tianhai asked directly.

"Haha." Li Gang first laughed twice: "Really not."

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Dr. Lu, thank you."

"We investigated the movement trajectory of the first patient. Just two days before his onset, he had just returned from a business trip in Liangcheng. Now Liangcheng is already the most severely affected area."

"This patient should be an imported case. During the few days when he returned to Seoul, people in Seoul wore masks because of the flu. Those who had close contact with him were quarantined and tested for nucleic acid several times. The tests were all negative."

"So, our first imported case was encountered by Dr. Lu, and some measures were taken, and the epidemic was brought under control."

Speaking of this, Li Gang was even more proud: "Now, apart from Liangcheng, there are several other cities across the country where the epidemic has occurred. Only our city has the best control, and our leaders have all been praised by the higher authorities."

Of course, Li Gang was also praised by the leader.

After hanging up the phone, Tianhai walked behind Lu Ping and put his arms around her gently.

Lu Ping, who was reading the paper, turned his head: "What's the matter, is the epidemic in Seoul serious?"

Tianhai put his chin on Lu Ping's shoulder: "No, the epidemic in Seoul is under control very well, and the only patient has been cured."

"Then what's wrong with you?" Lu Ping obviously felt that Tianhai's mood was a little different.

"It's okay, I just think you are so nice and want to hug you."

Lu Ping smiled lightly, patted Tianhai's hand, and turned to continue reading the paper.

"What are you looking at?" Tianhai asked looking at the pile of English letters on the screen.

"Up-to-date spike virus research."

This time, not only in China, but also in many areas abroad, the outbreak of the spike virus has a tendency to make a comeback, and research in this area has become hotter.

Tianhai snorted, let go of Lu Ping, and retreated to the sofa next to him.

Is he being too selfish?

Tianhai began to reflect. He wanted to lock Lu Ping firmly by his side and be with him, but he never thought that Lu Ping should actually belong to a wider world, at least not only to him.

Just for the purpose of designing his graduation thesis, Lu Ping was able to develop a method of using viruses to produce insulin, which brought good news to diabetic patients.

Just with a serious and responsible attitude, Lu Ping's actions have helped the entire city of Seoul and pulled it out of the danger it might fall into.

If he hadn't been so selfish and encouraged Lu Ping to continue researching viruses, maybe Lu Ping would have won the Nobel Prize.

Now, Tianhai really believes that Lu Ping has the ability to win the Nobel Prize, she just lacks an opportunity.

"Pingping, now that the epidemic in Seoul has been brought under control, should our clinic reopen?" Tianhai asked suddenly.

"Okay." Lu Ping agreed very much: "I only read papers every day, don't contact patients, don't do some experiments, I always feel something is wrong."

Tianhai smiled: "Okay, we will open tomorrow."

Because of the previous epidemic, everyone hid at home and did not move around. Not only the flu, but also the common cold patients were significantly less.

Lu Ping is more free than before.

When he had free time, Lu Ping went to the laboratory to continue fiddling while gnawing on his thesis.

Tianhai became concerned about the epidemic in other places.

The situation in Liangcheng is very bad. Dozens of confirmed cases are newly confirmed every day, and the number of deaths is also increasing.

Today, Liangcheng has been closed for more than half a month, much like Seoul back then.

Apart from Liangcheng, the situation in several other cities is not very optimistic.

The situation abroad is not much better.

Seeing the data reports one by one, Tian Hai's face became more and more ugly.

Walking to Chi Na's side, Tianhai instructed: "Chi Na, if there is a patient who comes to see a doctor, come here, no matter what the symptoms are, we will test him for nucleic acid, free of charge."

Now, the epidemic is spreading everywhere, even if Seoul is safe now, it is hard to say that it will be safe the day after tomorrow, so we still need to take more precautions.

"Got it." Chi Na's voice was a little strange.

"What's wrong with you?" Tianhai found out.

Chi Na raised her head, her eyes were a little red: "Wang Lei is about to be sent to Liangcheng."
