Chapter 558 Awkwardness

As he spoke, Wang Yang intimately pulled Zhou Yijun in front of the camera, his tone full of pride and complacency.

Seeing this, the audience expressed their envy of Zhou Yijun for being able to work beside Wang Yang.

Of course, they also knew that Wang Yang's work was complex and important, so they naturally labeled Zhou Yijun as a "genius".

The chat lasted for a long time, and finally, at Liu Yue's reminder, Wang Yang reluctantly ended the live broadcast. He turned to Zhou Yijun and said, "Xiao Zhou, how do you feel now? Do you think our work is both sacred and arduous?"

Zhou Yijun finally understood Wang Yang's good intentions. He knew that as a member of Wang Yang's team, he would face thousands of viewers, so he had to open his heart and not close himself off anymore.

"Master, I understand. I will remember it."

Seeing this, Wang Yang smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. Our work is a matter of glory for our country. We must learn the bargaining skills of our ancestors and bring back all the good things from abroad..."

Liu Yue couldn't help but interrupt: "Boss, can you teach me something good?"

He felt that since Wang Yang experienced the earthquake, he had become much more open-minded.

Wang Yang smiled slightly, raised his head and leaned back on the bench, pointing forward: "Life is a life, so enjoy it while you can. Look, the fun is here."

Zhou Yijun and Liu Yue looked in the direction of Wang Yang's finger and saw a leader walking towards them.

"Hello, Chief!" the two greeted in unison.

The chief responded with a smile: "Hello, kids. I have something I want to talk to your Master Lin about. You guys can go play over there."

Wang Yang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Chief, can you please stop treating my assistants as children? They are all my right-hand men." Although he said this, he still motioned for the two to go and rest nearby.

The chief sat next to Wang Yang and looked at his injured foot with concern: "How do you feel? Are you okay?"

Wang Yang replied easily, "Not bad. What's the matter? Another mission? Is it worth your personal trip?"

He muttered to himself: This leader who never comes to visit unless there is something important is nowhere to be found when something happens, and he has to show up when he is needed.

The chief frowned as he looked at the osmanthus tree not far away: "I'm afraid this earthquake in Chuanchuan is not simple."

Wang Yang nodded: "I know, so I went there as soon as possible. I have also collected the earthquake data and will analyze it for you."

The chief turned around and looked at Wang Yang with complicated eyes: "You are still the most reliable. You got things done quietly."

Wang Yang shrugged: "We value efficiency. But what do you need me to do? We can contact you privately. I'm afraid that you came here in person this time for more than just this simple matter, right?"

He knew very well that this old fox was always elusive, and it was impossible for him to come to him this time based on a guess.

As expected, the chief said, "I need you! Help me restore the economy of Sichuan. Post-disaster reconstruction requires your strength."

Wang Yang pouted: "Let me think about it. This is not an easy task. Are you just going to leave it to me like this?"

The chief looked at him firmly and said, "I can't think of anyone else who can accomplish this except you."

The old leader left, and Wang Yang was left alone in the huge park, sitting there in a daze.

He pondered for a long time and finally agreed.

Perhaps, in the devastated Sichuan Province, he is the only one who can have such a strong appeal.

"Boss, what did the old commander say to you just now? Why do you look so unhappy?" Liu Yue asked with a worried look on his face.

He and Zhou Yijun had not walked far just now. They noticed as soon as the old leader left. When they got closer, they saw that Wang Yang's face was so pale.

"Has something happened? Even you can't solve it?" Liu Yue sat down nervously and grabbed Wang Yang's hand.

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just that my feet hurt a little now... and my hand is also a little painful when you hold it." Wang Yang looked at the two people's clasped hands and felt a little unnatural for a moment, especially when the image of Jiang Ran lying on the bed suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Oh, sorry, I was too nervous." Liu Yue let go of his hand, but there was no apology on his face.

Zhou Yijun saw all of this and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Liu Yue, please prepare the relevant materials. We may have to return to Sichuan Province in a while, and the post-disaster reconstruction work there needs our support." Wang Yang ordered.

Liu Yue nodded thoughtfully. As for Wang Yang's work, he always carried it out step by step and never asked any more questions, even though this matter was closely related to his hometown.

"Xiao Zhou, please recheck the data of the machine you modified. I just checked and found that some of the data are not stable. The results of each experiment are different. This is not acceptable. As scientific researchers, we have to pay attention to details..." Wang Yang took Xiao Zhou's hand and gave him many instructions, and Xiao Zhou agreed to them one by one.

In the following days, Wang Yang spent all his time doing rehabilitation training, except visiting Jiang Ran in the hospital. He was eager to recover to his best condition as soon as possible to complete the task assigned to him by the old leader.

Most of the time, Xiao Zhou was busy in the laboratory. Sometimes, he would personally deliver the experimental results to the hospital; sometimes, he would directly video chat with Wang Yang.

After just over a week, Wang Yang could feel that Xiao Zhou was already familiar with the job and had great talent. As long as he said something once, Xiao Zhou could complete it quickly and perfectly. The departure date was getting closer and closer, and Wang Yang planned to visit Jiang Ran again before leaving, telling him that he would be very busy next and asked him not to worry.

He came to the door of Jiang Ran's ward on crutches (this was Liu Yue's strong request).

Jiang Ran looked healthy and healthy. Apparently, he was forced by his parents to stay in bed to recuperate. In fact, he had almost recovered and was very lively.

"Brother Wang Yang, you're here! Come over here, there's delicious food." Jiang Ran now looks completely different from when she was rescued from the ruins, and she's even more beautiful than before.

Jiang Ran's mother looked at Wang Yang in confusion, as if she wanted to say something, but she held it back and just scolded her daughter to be careful about her words and actions.

"Wang Yang has come to see our Jiang Ran again. She is almost well now. You see, your foot is not convenient either. When she is fully recovered, we will visit your home again to thank you for your care before. This girl has been naughty and mischievous since she was young, always causing trouble for us. Now she is settled in college, and it seems that she doesn't listen to us parents..." Although these words were said to Jiang Ran, Wang Yang knew in his heart that they were actually said to him.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, a strange blush appearing on his face.

Wang Yang has a handsome appearance, and with his blushing face, he looks even more lovable.

"Look, he has been here for such a long time and you didn't let him sit down. His leg is still injured. You are too careless." Jiang Ran's father quickly took a stool and placed it next to Wang Yang's legs, and enthusiastically invited him to sit down.

"Why don't we leave the space to the young people? The two of us are just in the way here. My dear, don't you think so?" Jiang Ran's father didn't care about that and directly took Jiang Ran's mother out. Before leaving, he smiled happily at Wang Yang.

"Brother Wang Yang, don't take it to heart. My mother has always spoken so directly, she just cares about me. I indeed did not discuss with her about going to Chuanchuan this time, so she has been blaming me for becoming too independent and not listening to her..." At this point, Jiang Ran's face was shining with excitement, and he did not regret being blamed at all.

"Your mother is right, you were indeed too reckless. Don't do this again in the future. Although your starting point is good, it is very dangerous. Remember!" Wang Yang supported his body with a crutch, walked in front of Jiang Ran and said.

"My body has almost recovered, and my superiors have assigned me a new task..." Before Wang Yang could finish his words, Jiang Ran's face suddenly turned gloomy, just like the weather.

"Do they treat you like a cow? Even if you are a cow, you have to be fed! You still come to see me on crutches, how can you be considered well taken care of? You just scolded me, but now you are so disobedient. I won't listen to you!" Jiang Ran might be blaming Wang Yang for not cherishing his body, or maybe it was because the time they spent together was too short. After saying this, he turned his head away and no longer looked at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang sighed, feeling helpless. He didn't want to leave either. During this time, he could only come over to be intimate with Jiang Ran when Jiang Ran's parents were not around. Such time was pitifully rare and had to be squeezed out. He missed the days when he used to hold Jiang Ran's hand and walk in the park.

"Don't be angry, you know, I have a special identity and this job belongs to me..." Wang Yang kept explaining, but Jiang Ran didn't want to hear a word.

She got angry and pulled the quilt over her head to separate herself from Wang Yang. Wang Yang pulled at the quilt, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't pull it apart.

Wang Yang's heart tightened as he watched the figure moving up and down under the quilt. His Jiang Ran must be very sad.

"You must come back soon... otherwise... I will never talk to you again..." Jiang Ran's sobbing was heard from under the quilt. Wang Yang couldn't bear it any longer, so he hugged her through the quilt and patted her gently.

This kind of comfort calmed Jiang Ran down a little.

"Go ahead and do your work. I can take care of myself. I'll go back to school after I'm discharged from the hospital. You don't have to worry about me..." Jiang Ran knew from the beginning that if they were together, they wouldn't be able to get along like a normal couple. But the reality was too cruel. They couldn't even make their relationship public, which made Jiang Ran feel insecure, even though Wang Yang had reported everything to them.

"Okay, I'm leaving. You have to eat well and take care of yourself. If I come back and find that you have lost weight, I will spank your little butt." Wang Yang patted Jiang Ran's head gently, as if he was teaching her a lesson.

"You'd better leave quickly. If you don't leave now, I won't let you go. I will eat well. I'm not a child anymore. Don't try to coax me with the same tricks you use to coax a child." Hearing Jiang Ran's tone, Wang Yang knew that she had adjusted her state, so he could go to Sichuan Province with peace of mind.

"Well, I'm leaving. Are you sure you don't want to see me off?" Wang Yang coaxed and pulled down the quilt covering Jiang Ran's head. Jiang Ran was a little reluctant at first, she didn't want Wang Yang to see her vulnerable side.

In front of Wang Yang, she has always been that lively and lovely girl, who seems to have endless energy. But now, she has become anxious and worried. Wang Yang is so outstanding that there are endless people who admire him.

The quilt was pulled down by Wang Yang, and Jiang Ran subconsciously closed her eyes. Because she had just cried, her eyes were a little dry.

At this moment, a soft and delicate kiss fell on her forehead, as if the person kissing her regarded her as the most precious treasure in the world.

Jiang Ran was finally willing to open his eyes, and what came into view was Wang Yang's enlarged smiling face.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? I will be back soon, and I will call you often. We have to get used to this lifestyle, don't we?" Wang Yang said, looking into Jiang Ran's eyes.

Jiang Ran nodded as if he was bewitched.

"That's good. I will bring you some delicious food, and you must study hard in school. You can use the courses I gave you before, but don't play too much, and of course don't work too hard on yourself. Remember?" Wang Yang kept nagging like an old mother before leaving.

Jiang Ran's temper had long been worn away by him, and now all he had left was to be obedient.

"Why is this kid so long-winded? We've been standing at the door for so long, and he hasn't finished talking yet. If he doesn't finish, I'm going to rush in." Jiang Ran's mother looked impatient. Her baby daughter was alone in the ward with a man who was almost a stranger to her. If it were in the past, she would have rushed in long ago.

"Oh, that's how children get along. You have to learn to let go. Look at your wrinkles. Our Jiang Ran is already a grown-up girl. She knows her limits." Jiang Ran's father seemed open-minded. He had someone check Wang Yang's background recently and found that all his information was hidden. He had known this for a long time.

"No matter how old our girl is, she is still a little darling in my eyes. She is just in her early 20s and has not experienced the twists and turns of society. How can I feel at ease?" Jiang Ran's mother was so anxious that she kept pacing at the door. More than an hour had passed.

"Why doesn't that kid come out! I can't stand it anymore, I have to go in and take a look." Jiang Ran's mother shook off Jiang Ran's father's hand and was about to push the door in. But at this moment, the door of the ward opened from the inside.

The people outside the door looked at each other. Jiang Ran's mother was furious just now, but now she was stunned and didn't know what to say. In the end, Wang Yang said hello first and then left.

"Look at you, why are you so impulsive? It's just young people getting along with each other, just give them some time. Besides, I think that boy is quite reliable, so don't worry about it." Jiang Ran's family situation is different from that of ordinary families. His mother is the "boss" of the family, taking care of all the big and small matters of the family, while Jiang Ran's father is a gentle university professor who does things calmly and has a scholarly demeanor.
