Chapter 415 Like a silly roe deer, if you let it out, won't you just let it go?
He Jingcheng left, and Qiao Manman came out.
Exhausted, he reported his latest research findings to Huo Wangshu, and then asked for leave to return home to his affiliated institute.
Huo Wangshu's scalp tingled again: "Why ask for leave? Wouldn't it be better to work hard in the lab?"
Qiao Manman chuckled: "Taking leave helps maintain a stable marital relationship. Dean Huo, you're here every day, don't you miss your wife?"
One sentence was all it took to make Huo Wangshu furious. She glared at her resentfully: "At such a young age, how dare you say such things?"
"I'm married! I'm a shameless little wife now!"
Qiao Manman smiled and reminded you, "You should also take care of your family while working. If you have time, go home and visit more often. Your aunt will definitely be very happy!"
Huo Wangshu rolled her eyes: "Does everyone live this close to home like you? Many of them haven't been here for three to five years..."
"How pitiful! When they get back, they don't even know if their children will recognize them!"
Qiao Manman noticed Huo Wangshu's face darken, and changed the subject: "But they reaped a bright and promising future. They sacrificed their lives for the development of their motherland. They are role models in textbooks, idols in people's hearts, and..."
"With your eloquence, it's a waste that you're not a journalist!"
Huo Wangshu's expression brightened, and he wrote his name on the leave slip in a flourish: "Go early and come back early!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay, okay!"
After quickly packing my luggage at the dormitory, I left the research institute.
Without a bicycle, Qiao Manman relied on her own two legs. She walked for over half an hour and still hadn't arrived.
She wasn't in a hurry; she was taking her time, like she was taking a walk.
Upon seeing the familiar figure in the distance, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he stood on tiptoe to wave: "Lu Yuan!"
Lu Yuan strode up to her side, his gaze burning as if he wanted to scorch Qiao Manman.
Beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, and steam rose from his body. Qiao Manman took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Why didn't you ride your bike?"
Lu Yuan grabbed her hand: "I was so excited when I got the call that I forgot!"
Qiao Manman chuckled: "Then let's take a walk home!"
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, rubbed his handkerchief against hers, and carried his luggage in one hand while holding his wife's hand in the other.
My empty heart was filled, and the early autumn sun was bright and scorching.

When He Jingcheng came out of the field and learned that Qiao Manman was on vacation, he felt like the sky had fallen.
He went to confront Huo Wangshu in a fit of anger, but was dismissed with just a few words.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao is tired and wants to rest, I can't just stop her. If you have time, you can go to the family compound to find her!"
He Jingcheng: "......"
"That makes sense, I'll go right now!" he said, running off to ask Dean Zhao for leave.
"No, why did you ask for leave out of the blue?"
"He's after my niece! Dean Huo told me to wait for her at the military compound!"
Dean Zhang was stunned for a full two minutes before saying, "Why is that guy surnamed Huo so mean?"
"He was doing it for my own good!" He Jingcheng said, still a little touched. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stay by my niece's side all day long!"
Dean Zhang shook his head speechlessly: "You're an idiot too!"
As he spoke, he granted him leave.
However, He Jingcheng's travel style was much more serious than Qiao Manman's.
Not only were dedicated service personnel assigned to accompany them closely, but their off-duty hours were also strictly regulated.
"Regardless of whether people acknowledge you or not, you can't stay out overnight."
"Dean Zhang, aren't you being too nervous? We're all in the military region, what could possibly happen?"
"I don't know if others will get into trouble, but you absolutely cannot act alone!"
She rolled her eyes and said, "Like a silly roe deer, it can be lured away by a few sweet words from others. If you let it out, wouldn't you just let it go?"
He Jingcheng was in the middle of his excitement when he heard him muttering. He looked up and asked, "Dean Zhang, what are you saying?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just wish you a successful family reunion!"
"Hehehe, thanks for the kind words!" he said, waving his hand and striding away.
As soon as I stepped out of the building, I slapped my forehead: "Wait, I can't go empty-handed!"
Hey Jiang, wait for me! I'm going back to my dorm to get some money. Let's buy some nice things before we come over!
"Researcher He, Dean Zhang said you cannot leave the military region!"
He Jingcheng ignored him and ran back to his dormitory, rummaging through drawers and pockets, grabbing all the loose change, almost pulling out the dowry his family had saved for him to marry.
Once outside, he rushed out without looking back. But as soon as he passed the gate, he was stunned.
"Xiao Jiang, where is the department store?"
Jiang Zhenghong smiled wryly: "The department store is in the city, which is very far away. It takes three to five hours to drive there!"
"Oh, that won't do! What about the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"The supply and marketing cooperative isn't close either; it's more than an hour's drive away!"
He Jingcheng nodded: "That's acceptable. Here, you can go drive the car!"
Jiang Zhenghong was speechless: "Researcher He, you need to apply for the car in advance!"
He Jingcheng frowned: "If it's so troublesome, then let's just walk. Anyway, I'm free today!"
Saying that he didn't care about east, west, south, or north, he randomly picked a direction and started walking.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhenghong quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, please don't be impulsive. I'll go and apply to Dean Zhang right away. You and I..."
He Jingcheng waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm not going back. I'll wait for you here!"
"No, Researcher He, my orders from the leadership are to stay by your side at all times."
If you don't cooperate, we'll really have to walk there. By then, it'll be too late.
He Jingcheng was startled and hurriedly followed him inside. But once they reached the gate, he stopped.
"I'm at the research institute now, you have no right to restrict my freedom!"
Jiang Zhenghong had no choice but to settle the people here.
She reassured him, "Then you rest here, I'll be right back!"
He instructed the young soldiers, "Please take good care of Researcher He and make sure he doesn't wander off!"
The young soldier nodded: "Don't worry!"
Jiang Zhenghong walked two hundred meters, glancing back every few steps, and only when he saw He Jingcheng sitting intently on a rock picking grass did he start jogging.
After explaining the situation, Dean Zhang was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Alright, go drive. Be careful on the road."
Jiang Zhenghong took the keys and was about to leave when Dean Zhang called him back: "Is Xiao Chai free? Call him along, he can go on a mission with you!"
Jiang Zhenghong's tense body relaxed instantly. He hurriedly replied "Okay" and went to call for help.
Upon hearing that there was a mission, Chai Yu quickly changed his clothes.
He took the keys, drove to the gate, and looked at the well-behaved He Jingcheng with suspicion.
"It's just going to the family compound, do you really need two people to come along?"
Jiang Zhenghong looked at him with a complicated expression: "Researcher He doesn't play by the rules; he does whatever comes to mind!"
"Alright!"
Chai Yu clicked his tongue, got out of the car and greeted him: "Hello Researcher He, I am Chai Yu. I will arrange your itinerary from now on. I hope you will cooperate!"
He Jingcheng stood up blankly: "Hello, Comrade Chai, I will definitely cooperate!"
