For Academician Liu's arrangement, Nan Binghuai, who was lying on the hospital bed, and Zhang Meina, who was guarding the bedside, were surprised at the same time.

Nan Binghuai was a little breathless, he didn't have any friendship with other girls, usually in the process of interacting with his ex-girlfriend, he only occasionally took a look at others, how can he take care of himself like a family member now?

Although Zhang Meina was surprised, she didn't show embarrassment, on the contrary, she had some feelings, nodded shyly, and at the same time cast an affectionate gaze at Nan Binghuai.

Nan Binghuai's face was a little feverish, and he hurriedly questioned the leader: "Director Liu... This... Is it appropriate to do so? ”

Academician Liu looked disapproving: "What's inappropriate?" I've just learned about Miss Mina. She's from outsider, and the school is on vacation, so she just has time to spend with you. As for you, your hometown is not here, and you are a single person, and you just need a relative like Miss Mina to accompany you. ”

"But she's not my relative, is she?"

"What do you mean by a loved one? Do you have to be related by blood to be considered relatives? For us, as long as we have a fate, we are relatives for life. Miss Mina is no stranger to you, is she? Now that people have saved you again, can't this kind of affection still make you regard her as a relative? ”

"I... I'm so grateful to Mina... I am grateful to her for bringing me the warmth of my family... You can't always trouble people. ”

Zhang Meina finally spoke shyly: "I'm not afraid of trouble." As long as Professor Nan doesn't dislike me for being stupid, I'm willing to take care of you. I... I've actually been quite bored for the past two days. ”

Academician Liu's disgusted expression: "How can Miss Mina be stupid?" Don't be presumptuous. I think you're the most ingenious and kind-hearted girl in the world. ”

Zhang Meina's pretty face turned red again: "People... People are scientists. ”

Academician Liu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the deeper meaning of the woman's words in front of him, so he didn't say anything more, gave her a look, and turned around and walked out.

Zhang Meina understood that the leader had something to say to herself, so she went out to see him off and left the ward together.

Nan Binghuai looked at their backs and had mixed feelings for a while.

As soon as Academician Liu waited for Zhang Meina to come out and close the door, he immediately turned around: "Miss Meina, I am really grateful to you today, and I once again express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of all the comrades of the Observatory. ”

Zhang Meina smiled shyly: "Don't be polite to me anymore." If you go down politely, everyone will be embarrassed. ”

"Alas, I can't help but express my gratitude to you, because whether Comrade Binghuai can regain his strength depends on you."

Zhang Meina showed a surprised expression: "Rely on me? ”

"Yes, falling out of love may be a temporary pain for some people, but for some people who are infatuated, I am afraid it is a permanent pain, not only making them languishing, not having the energy to work, and even losing confidence in life. By the way, it is not uncommon to commit suicide because of broken love. Therefore, Comrade Binghuai needs you to help him get out of the shadow of broken love. ”

Zhang Meina's face was flushed: "But how can I replace Xiangyue's position in his mind?" Besides, Professor Nan is not that kind of fragile man. ”

Academician Liu first said: "I have seen Xiangyue's girl, just by her appearance, you are not inferior to her at all, and she will never have your advantages, that is, kindness." ”

Zhang Meina buried her head shyly: "Please don't hold me high... Where can I compare to Xiangyue? ”

"Miss Mina, don't be modest. I said you're better than her, and I'm definitely right. ”

"But... Can Professor Nan think so? ”

"Hmph, you still said that he is not a fragile man, when he learned that Xiangyue abandoned him, he immediately turned his back on him. For a man with such a fragile character, any girl who can give him a trace of warmth will definitely move him for a lifetime. So, what he needs most at the moment is your care. ”

"This... I'm afraid it's not quite suitable, right? ”

"Not suitable? Could it be that Miss Mina dislikes Comrade Binghuai? ”

"No, no, no, he's a scientist and a great doctor, how can I dislike him as an ordinary middle school teacher? I... I'm worried that he'll dislike me... Besides... Xiangyue is already full of it in his mind. ”

Academician Liu laughed: "Why did Miss Mina feel inferior? You are also an intellectual, and you should understand that there are only humble men and women in this world, but there is no humble love. You should be full of confidence, that is, you are no worse than Xiangyue, and you must be able to firmly grasp the heart of Binghuai. ”

Zhang Meina's heart became more and more nervous: "I... I'm afraid I can't. ”

Academician Liu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Miss Mina, don't say that first, can you soothe Comrade Binghuai's hurt heart, or let the facts speak." Isn't there such a saying in society, don't care about the result, as long as you work hard and have an unforgettable process, then you will have no regrets. ”

Under the repeated persuasion of Academician Liu, Zhang Meina finally nodded shyly.

Academician Liu left satisfied.

When Zhang Meina returned to the ward again, facing Nan Binghuai's gaze, she was no longer so calm, but looked shy.

Of course, Nan Binghuai saw the mystery, but he still couldn't let go of his first love and was depressed.

Zhang Meina was reserved for a moment, then picked a big orange from the fruit brought by Academician Liu, and then operated her little hand to peel off the orange peel, and then carefully approached Nan Binghuai: "Professor Nan, please eat an orange, right?" ”

Nan Binghuai raised his hand and flicked it gently: "It's better for you to eat, I can't eat it." ”

Zhang Meina blinked her apricot eyes: "That leader bought it for you to eat, how can I eat it?" ”

Nan Binghuai immediately said: "Since he gave it to me, then it is up to me to decide." If I let you eat, you will eat. ”

Zhang Meina shook her head: "No, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it." ”

Nan Binghuai smiled bitterly: "I really can't eat it." It's that you've worked so hard to take care of me, and I should eat a little nourishment. ”

Zhang Meina suddenly became stubborn: "No, you are a patient now, if you don't eat, I will accompany you not to eat." ”

"You... What's the pain? ”

"Professor Nan... I know that you only have Teacher Xiangyue in your heart, and you won't take me seriously. If you want to starve me, then you won't eat a bite! ”

Nan Binghuai stared at her aggrieved face in amazement, and found that her eyes were full of crystal tears.

He was silent for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand: "Okay, I'll eat." ”

Zhang Meina instantly burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly handed the peeled orange to his palm.

Nan Binghuai smiled at this time: "You can eat too." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Meina happily grabbed another orange and peeled it off.

Nan Binghuai looked at her with a childlike look, and couldn't help but be deeply infected, temporarily forgetting the pain of falling out of love, and tasting oranges with her.

At that time, it was still an era of material scarcity, and it was not easy for people living in the north to eat fruit. Zhang Meina ate with relish: "The orange is so sweet." ”

Nan Binghuai saw that she was about to finish eating an orange, so he smiled and said, "Since you love to eat, then eat more." ”

Zhang Meina was a little embarrassed, and quickly stopped and urged him: "Hey, why do you eat so slowly as a man?" Hurry up and eat! ”

Nan Binghuai hadn't dipped water for a long time, and although he was infused, his mouth was still dry, so at Zhang Meina's urging, he swallowed an orange stiffly.

Zhang Meina picked up another bottle of canned peaches at this time, trying her best to unscrew the cap, but it just didn't move. She was a little overwhelmed under Nan Binghuai's gaze.

Nan Binghuai saw that this lovely woman looked a little embarrassed, so he had to stretch out his arm: "Teacher Mina, leave it to me." ”

"This... But you're a patient! ”

"But I'm also a man!"

Zhang Meina's heart moved, and she happily handed the canned food into Nan Binghuai's hands.

After Nan Binghuai took the can, he first smashed the lid of the can hard to destroy its sealing, and then effortlessly unscrewed the lid and handed it over to Zhang Meina's hands together.

Zhang Meina smiled happily: "Some things need you men in the end." ”

Nan Binghuai was a little complacent: "That's." ”

Zhang Meina nodded: "Well, as long as you still know that you are a man, then I will be relieved." ”

Nan Binghuai sniffed out that her words were a bit insinuating, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Professor Nan, I may not like what I say, but I have to say it to you. I hope you don't get angry. ”

Nan Binghuai restrained his emotions: "Okay, it's okay for you to say it directly." ”

"Professor Nan, I think that as a man, you should do something and not do something."

"Of course."

"But as a real man, you shouldn't indulge in the love of children."

Nan Binghuai's expression was stunned, and he stopped talking.

Zhang Meina continued: "Especially as a scientific and technological worker, you should take the world as your own responsibility, and you should have the mind of the family and the country, and you should not consider the gains and losses of personal happiness. For you, if you are conducting an important scientific experiment, but because you are frustrated in the love field, you let yourself collapse completely, how much loss will it be for this scientific experiment? ”

Nan Binghuai's face turned red: "But I haven't engaged in any important scientific experiments. ”

"I know you're not doing well in your career at the moment. But didn't that leader just say that he would give his full support to the scientific research you are engaged in? If the country provides you with a good enough stage, but you can't grasp your out-of-control emotions, then I am afraid that you will live up to the country's expectations of you,"

Nan Binghuai was silent, and when he recalled his former Top Gun, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Two days later, after a series of physical examinations and gaining affection for Zhang Meina, Nan Binghuai was discharged from the hospital and returned to the observatory he loved.

Academician Liu had a heartfelt conversation with him at this time-

"Comrade Binghuai, I am very relieved to see you discharged from the hospital safely, proving that you have not been defeated by frustrated feelings."

Nan Binghuai looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Academician Liu patted his shoulder: "No, if you want to attribute the mistakes of one party, the responsibility lies in our leading cadres who did not provide you with a good scientific research environment." At the beginning, you withstood the pressure and resolutely returned from overseas, which is enough to prove that you not only have a good business level, but also have valuable national feelings. ”

"Academician Liu, I..."

"Comrade Binghuai, because the country has been affected by the turmoil of the past ten years, it has lagged far behind the economically developed countries in the world in many aspects, and although we are currently engaged in reform and opening up, it is by no means an overnight thing to catch up with those developed countries. At present, the country's finances are still relatively difficult and cannot provide us with strong financial guarantees. So, in many ways, we still need to work hard. In view of these factors, our country has lost a large number of scientific and technological talents. This is the misfortune of our Chinese nation. ”

When Nan Binghuai heard this, his blood immediately burst out: "Please rest assured that the organization is a Chinese, and under no circumstances, I will not leave my motherland." ”

Academician Liu's eyes moistened: "Comrade Binghuai, you are good. The organization trusts you. Perhaps due to the limited conditions, your future research work will not be smooth sailing, but I believe that you will definitely rise to the challenge and make outstanding contributions to the astronomical cause of the motherland. ”

Nan Binghuai said excitedly: "I promise to do my best to live up to the expectations of the party and the country. ”

Academician Liu finished talking to him about his work and talked about personal problems: "Comrade Binghuai, you are almost thirty years old, and it is time to solve personal problems, Miss Mina is the kindest girl I have ever seen, she is not only beautiful, but what is even more rare is that she is a girl who also has patriotic feelings." Moreover, she has always admired us scientists. So, you must seize this opportunity. ”

In the past two or three days, Nan Yanhuai has developed a deep affection for Zhang Meina, but the shadow of his first love is still lingering in his mind for the time being, and he suddenly hesitated.

Academician Liu said earnestly: "Comrade Binghuai, in your opinion, maybe Su Xiangyue is much better than Miss Meina. I may not be able to change your impression, but I want to remind you that when you go through the bottom of your life, it is not Su Xiangyue who can accompany you, but Miss Mina. When you fall ill, she will take care of you, and if you are frustrated, she will sincerely comfort you and give you the motivation to start again. When you are tired, she will be your respite without complaint. In this way, she is a life partner that you can meet but cannot find in your life. So, there's no reason why you shouldn't cherish her and love her well. You are not an ordinary man, but a very rational scientist, you should know how to choose the most suitable girl for yourself as your life partner, rather than hoping for the best girl in your mind. Of course, it takes a lot of wisdom to think of the girl who is the best fit for you as the best girl. I still have a lot of confidence in you in this regard. ”

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but burst into tears: "I know what to do." Thank you! ”

After another half a year, Nan Binghuai finally entered the marriage hall hand in hand after a short love affair with Zhang Meina-
