half a month later.

Yu Lian couldn't bear it any longer and begged Dr. Qian to let her go. After examining her, Dr. Qian finally agreed after much pleading and cajoling.

"I'm telling you one more time, you were lucky this time, it was just a simple sprain. If it happens again, I won't treat you no matter what the injury is. If you don't take care of your own body and try to be a hero again, I'll curse your parents too."

When facing Dr. Qian, not only Yu Lian, the patient, but also everyone around her dared not breathe loudly.

"I will definitely keep my word and rest at home to recover. Thank you, Dr. Qian."

Yu Lian quickly said a few words and then limped out of the ward.

"Did Dr. Qian swear again?" Wang Meixia knew without even guessing.

"Mom, hurry up and pack, I'm afraid Dr. Qian will come again."

Amused by her daughter's frightened expression, she said, "You've always been afraid of him since you were little."

"Who wouldn't be afraid? Dr. Qian has a fearsome reputation. Enough said, have our people arrived yet?"

"I'm here. I'll be ready to leave in two minutes."

Half an hour later, under Yu Jinbu's arrangement, the two were taken home. But before they even entered, Yu Lian could hear a commotion inside. Yu Xin should have been the only one home.

"Mom, did you let Yu Xin bring her classmates over to play?"

"No, you'll find out when you go in."

Soon, Yu Lian found the source of the noise. He Xinglan and Yu Xin hit it off immediately. The two had similar personalities and chatted all morning, with nothing to say.

"You forgot? I said I'd treat Xinglan to dinner after you were discharged from the hospital, and I had her come early this morning."

When asked about the dinner invitation, He Xinglan explained, "Auntie, my brother is very shy. I've asked him many times, but he still refuses to come."

"Oh, that's alright then. Is he home?"

"Yes, I'm here. I've been on vacation lately."

"That's fine then. I'll pack it up and take it back for you in a bit. If the mountain won't move, I will."

Wang Meixia was open-minded and didn't say anything because He Lin was absent. Respecting other people's wishes is something you have to learn in this part of the experience.

Xu Fang was also there, but she had just come out of the study with her two fathers, seemingly discussing matters related to her major. Xu Fang's mother was in the backyard preparing the fresh vegetables she had bought at the market that morning.

After handing Yu Lian over to her two younger sisters, Wang Meixia went directly to the backyard to help.

Looking at her sister's legs, which were wrapped up tightly, Yu Xin laughed and said, "Sis, you're in a worse situation than me now. I can't go out, but you can't even if you wanted to."

"Alright, shut up. Push me upstairs, I want to rest."

Not long after Yu Lian went upstairs, the two men who had been chatting casually about Xu Fang's studies received a phone call and immediately left the house. Xu Fang ran to the backyard: "Mom, Auntie, Dad and my uncle had an emergency and left."

The two military dependents were already used to it: "Let them go. We'll set them aside separately later. If it gets late, you can take it back to your dad to eat."

"Okay, I'm going upstairs to see Yu Lian now."

Xu Fang was tall, and she took a few big strides to get upstairs. At that moment, Yu Lian was sleeping on a recliner.

"You still have the leisure to sleep? How do you know He Lin's sister? I bet no one in our school knows her except Teacher Xian, and you actually know her first."

"An accident. Don't you already know? Xiao Yan and I went to the west side of the city to buy things, and we chased them to their neighborhood. He Lin... wait, I just remembered something, my pen!"

With all the chaos and injuries that day, Yu Lian forgot about her pen the moment she turned her head away.

"What kind of fountain pen?"

"I dropped my pen, and He Lin found it."

Xu Fang didn't ask any more questions—if she kept asking, it must be something very important to Yu Lian.

"If I run into him at school, I'll get it back for you."

Yu Lian originally wanted to get it herself and say a formal thank you to He Lin in person, but looking at her feet, she agreed to Xu Fang's suggestion.

"Please remember to convey my gratitude. But do you think he would accept a gift from me?"

"No, please. You know their family situation. What if he suddenly gets a pang of pride and thinks you're giving him charity or insulting him?"

"so?"

"I was just guessing at the time. But something like this had happened in our dorm before, so I'm never going to be so kind again."

Yu Lian ultimately decided to play it safe and had He Xinglan take some tea and pastries back with her. The family had received many gifts from work during holidays and other occasions, as well as gifts from relatives and friends; the storage room was full of them. Yu Lian planned to pick out some of the better items to give to He's parents.

Meanwhile, in the school office.

Xian Mingyu's face was grim.

"You should have known that you and your apprentice had made such an important discovery. The country is currently in dire need of talent in the field of radio radar, so He Lin has no choice but to fly away this time."

Xian Mingyu remained silent, only sulking silently.

"He's treated like a human being when he's with me. What if he goes somewhere else and they gang up on him and bully him? He already has a hard time finding a job because of his family's special circumstances."

At this moment, He Lin knocked on the door and came in. His first words were, "I will obey the arrangements of the school and the organization."

Xian Mingyu was so angry at the student's words that he almost cursed him out. But thinking about it, his choice was reasonable. In the end, he compromised: "Okay, but I have to choose the unit, and I will personally guarantee and recommend them."

This was the last thing he could do for He Lin as a teacher. The principal understood his good intentions. With his guarantee, He Lin's background could be put on hold for a while, even though the political review would still be very difficult.

Xian Mingyu had already decided which unit to recommend the student to, but now he wanted the student to stay with him for a few more days.

"He Lin, before you leave school, I have something to tell you. Promise me you will do it."

"Teacher, if possible..."

"Don't hide your abilities. Make them understand in the shortest amount of time that they can't live without you, understand?"

Understanding that this was for his own good, He Lin thought it over and over again before nodding in agreement.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll let you know what happens next; I have other things to take care of."

Xian Mingyu left in a hurry. After returning to the private office prepared for him at the school, he made a very brief phone call and then left the school.

After leaving the school gate and taking a long bus ride, he stopped at the entrance of the military base. The person who had just spoken to him on the phone was there to greet him.

"Professor Xian, you've arrived."

"Well, I won't waste any more time. I have a very important favor to ask you this time."

"Just tell me."

Seeing the military insignia on the other person's shoulder, Xian Mingyu finally spoke up: "Your unit is currently recruiting specially, and I'd like you to bring this kid in. I, Xian Mingyu, guarantee with my integrity and reputation that he will definitely surprise you."

After receiving the basic information from Professor Xian, the director of Institute 607, who had been relaxed, frowned as he looked at the information.

"this……"

Xian Mingyu stated bluntly, "You owe me a favor, and I want you to repay it today. You know my standards; I wouldn't risk recommending someone if it couldn't bring about a qualitative leap for your base. I still have my wife to take care of."

The last sentence made the chief engineer nod: "Okay, Professor Xian, I hope you can live up to the friendship between us."

Xian Mingyu replied firmly, "It's a sure thing, you should be happy about it."

After saying that, Teacher Xian turned and left, not wanting to linger there at all. Watching her departing figure, the director had already made his plans.
