Rebirth in the 70s: A rough man’s husband pinches his waist and dotes on him

Zhiyuan was very busy in the first half of the year.

Dean Wan really valued him, and he took him with him wherever he went to provide medical assistance in the countryside and on exchanges. While he was so busy, half a year passed quietly.

During his time in the capital, Dean Wan would often invite him to dinner, and he declined most of the time with various reasons, but there were always times when he could not refuse.

Everyone in the Wan family was very enthusiastic towards him, including Wan Xuening and her daughter, so enthusiastic that he was a little overwhelmed.

In June, he and the dean returned from the countryside.

This trip to the countryside was not smooth. The dean fell and sprained his foot. Although it had been treated, he still had difficulty walking, so the task of sending the dean home naturally fell on him.

It was already evening when the medical team's bus returned to the hospital. Zhiyuan had no choice but to call a taxi and help the dean get on the bus to go back to his home.

As expected, I was invited to stay for dinner.

Dean Wan praised Zhiyuan highly in front of his wife and daughter. Wan Xuening looked at him and smiled all night. Mother Wan's surname is actually Lu, Lu Yi.

Lu Yi kept asking him all kinds of questions. In fact, she had wanted to ask him a long time ago, but she saw Zhiyuan seldom. Every time he came to eat, he would chat with Dean Wan and leave in a hurry after the chat. For this, Lu Yi even complained to Dean Wan. Today, she finally found a chance to get to know him well.

Lu Yi is very good at speaking. He first praised Zhiyuan for his academic excellence, and then asked him where he went to primary school and middle school.

Zhiyuan answered truthfully: he went to elementary school in a small county town by the sea for a few years, went to the capital for a while, and then went to the seaside to attend middle school until graduation.

"I heard that your aunt opened a store in the capital?" Lu Yi asked again.

Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes."

"What does your mother do? How did she raise you so well?" Lu Yi asked with a smile.

"My mother..." Zhiyuan is not a boastful person. He has always been very low-key. After thinking for a while, he said, "She doesn't go to work. She does something on her own."

"Are you opening a store too?" Lu Yi asked again.

"Yes." Zhiyuan thought about it and thought...

"Oh? What are you selling?" Lu Yi asked with a smile.

"Well... I made clothes and sold them, as well as cakes, seafood and so on..." Zhiyuan watched Lin Qingping walk towards him step by step. He was really proud of such a mother and also deeply felt her hard work.

Lu Yi looked as if he suddenly realized something. "What about Dad?"

"My dad...is just an ordinary worker." In Zhiyuan's files from childhood to adulthood, the column about his father's work unit was always left blank, and no teacher would ask about it. It should be that the school knew about the situation of these military children and kept it tacitly known.

But Lu Yi was different. She insisted on asking, "Oh? Where do you work? What do you do?"

Zhiyuan hesitated. Some things cannot be told to outsiders, but Lu Yi's attitude of getting to the bottom of it was really a headache. "I'm... engaged in security work." He said vaguely.

Lu Yi nodded, as if he understood, "Is it the security guard?"

It seems... it can be considered as such, right? To protect the country and the people?

Zhiyuan nodded randomly, hoping that this stage would pass quickly.

Dean Wan seemed to notice his discomfort and said to Lu Yi, "Are you investigating the household registration? You've scared Zhiyuan."

Lu Yi stopped talking and explained to Zhiyuan with a smile, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just want to know what kind of parents can raise such a good child because you are so outstanding."

Zhiyuan forced a smile and stood up. "Dean, your foot is injured and you need to rest. I will go back first. Auntie, thank you for your hospitality."

"This child is so polite." Lu Yi said with a smile.

"I'll take you there!" Wan Xuening jumped up and said.

This time, Zhiyuan didn't refuse.

The two walked downstairs together. Wan Xuening kept staring at his wrist. When she didn't see the coral stone, she was delighted and her eyes lit up. "Zhiyuan, where is your stone? Why don't you bring it with you?"

Zhiyuan had been in deep thought, and when he heard these words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of inspiration.

"Because I have to see patients on a daily basis, it's inconvenient to wear jewelry on my hands, so..." He pulled out a rope from his collar, and the pendant was exactly the coral stone, "I wear it around my neck."

Wan Xuening's face turned pale, and she forced a smile, "You really treasure this stone."

Zhiyuan nodded, and said firmly, "Yes, I cherish it very much."

"Heh..." Wan Xuening smiled unnaturally, "Then, the person who sent the stone must be a very important person to you, too?"

"Yes, it's very important." Without any hesitation.

Wan Xuening was stunned.

Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Wan Xuening, thank you for sending me down. I'll take a ride myself. A car is coming soon."

Zhiyuan quickly got into a taxi and then breathed a long sigh of relief in the car.

Wan Xuening and Aunt Lu were too enthusiastic towards him. He felt uncomfortable and wondered why. He also thought of one possibility - that is, Wan Xuening liked him?

But she never expressed it! Li Zhiyuan, you are being too sentimental, aren't you?

But what if it is?

He was tangled in anxiety. He couldn't just rush up to Wan Xuening like a fool and say, "Don't like me, I don't like you, right?" The girl didn't even say she liked him. Wouldn't it be offensive to say that?

But Wan Xuening and her mother's attitudes were really disturbing. After a lot of hesitation, he finally had the chance today. He might as well use this stone to express his feelings - he has someone very important.

Is this meaning obvious enough?

If Wan Xuening really liked me, she would understand what he meant and give up, right?

It’s just that I feel bad for using Qingtian as an excuse. But Qingtian isn’t here anyway, so he will never know…

When Wan Xuening returned home, her mother was still talking to her father about Zhiyuan.

"This child comes from a very ordinary family. His father is a security guard and his mother has a hard life. She makes clothes, sells cakes and fish, and supports half of the family. What a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Dean Wan didn't understand what this meant.

"It's a pity that such a good child doesn't have a good family. It's a bit regrettable after all."

Dean Wan disagreed, "A hero does not ask where he came from, and do not despise a young man who is poor."

Lu Yi nodded again, "You are right, this family should have good genes. Zhiyuan is very handsome, and his cousin is also very beautiful. Moreover, the brother and sister are both good at studying. Not only Zhiyuan graduated with a doctorate, but his cousin also graduated with a doctorate and teaches at Capital University! It shows that the genes are good. As for the family background, forget it. It's rare that Xue Ning likes her. Anyway, we are here, so Xue Ning won't have to live a hard life."

Dean Wan smiled, obviously very satisfied with what Lu Yi said.

Wan Xuening came in, feeling lost and aggrieved. When she heard these words, her eyes lit up and new hope flashed in her mind.
