Ye Wenhui, though reluctant, realized it was time for Yunyi to leave: "Sister, take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come visit when I’m off."
Yunyi nodded slightly and hugged her: "You take care too."
Huo Jingrui drove over, and everyone helped load the things onto the car, watching it leave Hua’an’s gate before dispersing.
Huo Jingrui was all smiles: "Now I can finally see my wife every day."
Seeing him like this, Yunyi didn’t argue. After all, it was going to happen sooner or later: "What did the factory hospital say?"
Huo Jingrui turned a corner, checked the road ahead, and said proudly: "With your excellent medical skills, it’s not just our factory’s Workers’ Hospital, even the county hospital would be eager to have you."
This was indeed true. Yunyi’s reputation for healing spread through word of mouth in Hua’an and the nearby villagers, since she had treated many difficult and complex cases. Even people from the county sought her out by reputation.
Initially, Huo Jingrui wanted Yunyi to live in his courtyard, and he would stay in the dormitory.
But Yunyi didn’t agree. While she didn’t care what others said, it was still wise to blend in with the customs of the era.
Huo Jingrui had no choice but to drop her off by the dormitory. After the car stopped, he specifically got out to inform the dormitory supervisor before helping Yunyi move her things upstairs.
This was the first time since joining the factory that Huo Jingrui sought a favor, arranging for Yunyi to have a small room. The outside balcony could be used for cooking, and its location was quiet.
Opening the door, she saw the room already tidied up, and felt warmth in her heart. After setting down her things, she tiptoed to kiss Huo Jingrui on the corner of his mouth: "Jingrui, it’s so good to have you."
The wall looked freshly painted white, the balcony seemed recently renovated, and even the floor had a new layer of cement, sufficient for her alone.
