"What’s going on up ahead? Do you realize you’re blocking the road?"
Lu Jing glanced at the man beside him,
"Hurry up and drive, everyone’s urging you."
It was then that Jiang Ye started the car and slowly pulled away.
However, they hadn’t gone far before stopping again.
"Lu Jing, it seems like you really have an aversion to seeing doctors," he asked.
It wasn’t that Jiang Ye was being overly sensitive, rather Lu Jing was indeed showing it clearly.
If it were just because of the miscarriage from years ago, surely that wouldn’t cause such a pronounced psychological issue, right?
"I just don’t want to see a doctor," he replied, his tone indifferent.
But a few unusual flashes quickly passed through those downcast eyes.
Jiang Ye’s face was very serious,
"Don’t forget, you’re a doctor yourself, can you really be so phobic about seeking medical help?"
The reasoning just didn’t hold up.
Lu Jing couldn’t help but admire Jiang Ye’s sensitivity and perceptiveness; his right hand clenched involuntarily. Google seaʀᴄh novel(ꜰ)ire.net
If there really was a reason, it was that he had once gotten so sick of seeing doctors and taking medication that he would vomit or retch.
That was why he had developed a psychological aversion.
His lips moved several times, but in the end, he kept silent.
It was right then that an urgent call came through, automatically connecting to the car’s Bluetooth.
"A flight in half an hour, leaving for Province X."
"Province X? Isn’t that your assignment?"
Jiang Ye was aware of the business trip to Province X, but such assignments were always handled by Old Qin.
Jiang Ye’s duties had always been simply to lead his team well and ensure the proper training of his subordinates.
After all, in a fire fighting unit, fire rescue was the priority.
As for things like publicity and education, those were the instructor’s responsibilities.
On the phone, Old Qin clicked his tongue,
"Who would have guessed you’d get injured and miss out on this training? Your name was directly added to the list from above."
It was specified by higher-ups?
Jiang Ye furrowed his brow,
"Then, who is the commander in charge of training this time?"
"Someone from the main brigade will come over, and I’ll assist."
Jiang Ye had no more to say,
"Alright, then you keep an eye on them, don’t let anything happen."
"Don’t worry, leave it to me."
"Hang up, I’m driving."
With that, he just acknowledged and hung up.
The car made an instant U-turn,
"Lu’er, I’ll drop you off at the expressway exit first."
"There’s not enough time, just head straight to the airport. I can take the subway back later, it’s very convenient."
The distance to the airport was substantial; if he dropped him off at the exit and then circled back, a half-hour would certainly not be enough.
He knew how to prioritize.
"Then don’t bother with the subway, you can just drive the car back. You’ve got a driver’s license, remember?"
Lu Jing’s mouth twitched,
He had gotten his driver’s license right after his entrance exams, at this point, an old hand at driving.
The rest of the journey was silent once more.
The interrupted conversation was not brought up again.
When they arrived at the airport, they were five minutes early.
Both got out of the car.
Lu Jing had just walked over to the driver’s side door when he was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace.
"Xiao Lu, don’t forget to miss me."
Lu Jing immediately rolled his eyes,
"Can you let go? There are so many people around, and besides, have you forgotten you’re in a hurry?"
Could he not distinguish between what was urgent and what was not?
The plane was taking off in five minutes; what was the point of this embrace now?
"First tell me, do you miss me or not?"
"Immature, aren’t you?"
He said, struggling to get free.
The other person also knew there was no time to waste and reluctantly let go,
"So, we’ll discuss this when I’m back?"
He shouldn’t have been given the opportunity to act this way.
Give him an inch, and he’ll take a mile, right?
"Tsk, heartless woman!
Lu Jing stood still without responding, waiting until the man’s figure had completely disappeared before turning around and getting into the car.
