The medical team, including Yang Lin, consisted of a total of 4 people, two men and two women.
The other woman was Wang Li.
Since Yang Lin said that one day was not enough for the examinations.
Ye Hao instructed Liu Guoqing to arrange accommodation for them.
Liu Guoqing arranged for them to stay at the army guesthouse.
Yang Lin and the others put their belongings in the guesthouse and quickly set up tables in the family courtyard to check the soldiers’ families.
Chen Jun’s mother was also in the crowd. Seeing Yang Lin, she wanted to go up and talk to her.
But there were too many people surrounding Yang Lin, so she had to queue up with the crowd.
After waiting for quite a while, she finally got in front of Yang Lin.
"Yang Lin, are you staying here?"
Chen Jun’s mother asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, there are quite a few people, we can’t finish today so we’re staying here, and can start early tomorrow."
Yang Lin also responded with a smile.
"Then come to Auntie’s house for dinner tonight, I’ll cook something delicious for you. Every time you come, you’re always in such a hurry. Today you simply must come for a meal, or Auntie will really be upset."
Chen Jun’s mother said with a deliberately stern face.
"Okay, thank you Auntie, I’ll definitely come tonight. May I bring a friend?"
Yang Lin wrapped her arm around Wang Li’s and asked Chen Jun’s mother with a smile.
Hearing that she wanted to bring someone else, Chen Jun’s mother’s facial muscles twitched slightly.
She glanced at Wang Li and quickly said with a smile.
"Of course, the more the merrier."
"Thank you, I’ll be heading back to the city tonight, so I won’t be going."
Wang Li, noticing Chen Jun’s mother’s expression, realized she didn’t really want her to come along.
Conveniently, Wang Li didn’t want to join the gathering either, so she said blankly and just busied herself with her own tasks, ignoring them.
The people behind, seeing Chen Jun’s mother hadn’t moved, began to urge her.
"Auntie, I’ll definitely come over tonight, you go ahead now."
Yang Lin said apologetically, smiling at Chen Jun’s mother.
"Alright, alright, I’ll be home waiting for you then."
Chen Jun’s mother nodded happily and retreated from the crowd.
During the lunch break, Yang Lin pulled Wang Li aside.
"Wang Li, are you really heading back to the city tonight?"
"Yeah, I’m going to call my brother in a bit to have him pick me up tonight, want to come with me?"
"Is it because you don’t want to go for the dinner? If you don’t want to, we can skip it, why bother going all the way there."
Yang Lin noticed the pause from Chen Jun’s mother earlier and thought Wang Li might have been upset by it.
Yang Lin was a little pleased with herself. Whenever she and Wang Li went out, people always praised Wang Li.
It always felt like she was there just to accompany her.
This time, someone finally saw her as better than Wang Li.
She also looked down on Wang Li a bit, thinking she had such poor emotional resilience.
"No, I just don’t want to stay at the guesthouse, are you coming back? Tomorrow morning I can have my brother drop us off again."
Wang Li came from a well-off family and hadn’t experienced many hardships.
Compared to her home, the guesthouse conditions were much less comfortable, so she didn’t want to stay.
"The guesthouse is alright, I just don’t feel like getting up early."
Actually, Yang Lin wanted to stay to have the chance to interact with Ye Hao.
She wondered what was going on with Ye Hao.
Since last time, whenever she came, Ye Hao either avoided meeting her, or made an excuse to leave after a few words when they did meet.
Wang Li didn’t say much more and followed Yang Lin towards the mess hall.
Once inside, Yang Lin looked everywhere for Ye Hao.
Not seeing him, she disappointingly took her tray to get food at the counter.
"What’s wrong, isn’t there something you like on the menu?"
Wang Li asked, seeing Yang Lin looking unenthusiastic.
"No, I actually like the food here."
Yang Lin quickly composed herself and said with a smile.
But she couldn’t help taking another glance at the door.
That glance made her wish to rush to the door immediately.
Wang Li, seeing Yang Lin not moving for a while, looked up and saw her looking excitedly at the door.
She also glanced in the direction of Yang Lin’s gaze.
It was that soldier they met at the park last time.
Another person stood next to him.
He was smilingly saying something to the person beside him.
Looking up, his gaze met Wang Li’s directly.
The smile hadn’t entirely faded from his face, making him look particularly gentle.
Wang Li suddenly felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
She quickly turned around, sat at the nearest empty table with her tray.
Her legs even started trembling.
Her face felt like it was on fire.
Once she calmed down a bit, she picked up a spoon and slowly ate her meal.
After a while, Yang Lin also sat next to her with her tray.
"Wang Li, why are you eating so little?"
Yang Lin felt that Wang Li seemed particularly flustered.
"It’s nothing, I usually eat this much to avoid gaining weight."
Wang Li had calmed down and said smiling at Yang Lin.
"You’re not fat at all, you look just right now."
Yang Lin said, picking her words carefully.
"By the way, were you looking at that guy we saw at the park before? Is he in charge here? I saw someone standing next to him, who is that?"
Wang Li asked nonchalantly.
"Yeah, Ye Hao is the company commander here now, the person next to him is Li Yifan, the former company commander, he’s been transferred now, promoted to deputy regiment commander I think."
Yang Lin said without much thought.
So his name is Li Yifan.
Wang Li couldn’t resist looking up to find Li Yifan.
He was sitting at the table directly in front of her, but unfortunately with his back to her.
Feeling slightly dejected, Wang Li continued eating her lunch.
Ye Hao and Li Yifan were quick eaters.
In no time they finished and left.
Yang Lin, seeing them leave, felt a bit anxious, but didn’t want to abandon Wang Li in the mess hall.
She clenched her jaw and waited for Wang Li to finish so they could leave together.
"Wang Li, I need to handle something, you head back to the guesthouse to rest, I’ll be back soon."
Yang Lin hastily told Wang Li.
"Alright, go take care of your business."
Wang Li replied as she headed to the guesthouse.
Yang Lin walked towards Ye Hao’s residence, intending to find him.
At this moment, Li Yifan and Ye Hao were sitting in Ye Hao’s place.
"Gu Yi is at school right? If she were at home, nothing would make me go to the mess hall; I really miss her cooking. Let me know when you go to the city, I’ll come mooch a meal."
Li Yifan said with a smile, picking up the cup of water in front of him.
"Gu Yi and I have divorced."
Ye Hao was silent for a moment before he said suddenly.
Whenever he thought about having divorced Gu Yi, Ye Hao felt incredibly pained.
He didn’t understand what was wrong with him; wasn’t this the outcome he always wanted?
"What did you just say, you really divorced Gu Yi."
Li Yifan was so startled that he almost dropped his cup.
Ye Hao said quietly, his head lowered.
"Ye Hao, tell me honestly, why did your attitude towards Gu Yi change so drastically before and after your injury? You two were so good together before, I used to watch you both and wish to find someone to live just like you."
Ye Hao listened to Li Yifan’s words and suddenly lifted his head, staring at him blankly.
