What appeared in front of Fang Qiu was not an ordinary ice house, but more like an ice and snow art warehouse.
In the ice house, there were two artificial mounds that were as tall as a man.
The top of each mound was covered with a layer of snow. There were square ice cubes of the size of one’s arms on all sides of the room, which formed a wall on all sides.
In the entire room, there were ice cubes everywhere except for the ground.
The newly cultivated Tianshan Snow Lotus grew on the two snow-covered mounds.
At a glance, there were about dozens of them, but they looked very small. They were just seedlings.
“It’s really not easy to simulate the growth environment of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. It took me a lot of effort to make it like this.”
Zhao Shanlin smiled and said, “Originally, with the current technology, we could have used all kinds of machines to create the growth environment for the Tianshan Snow Lotus. There is no need to take such trouble. I simply got the ice house on the spur of the moment.”
“Yeah.”
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and said, “It seems that the cultivation is very good.”
“It’s very successful.”
Zhao Shanlin nodded and said, “It seems that these newly cultivated snow lotuses are all top-grade. If we can have professional instruments and build a cultivation room, the quality of the snow lotus will be better!”
Fang Qiu immediately said, “Mr. Zhao, you can do whatever you want. If you need any instruments or materials, just buy them. We’re not short of money.”
“I’m not worried about money.”
Zhao Shanlin smiled and said, “My salary for this year can be used to build a few cultivation rooms. What I am thinking is that when our company is established, we can use the finance of the company. The money for the cultivation room now will be paid by myself.”
“We can’t do that.”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “You’ve given so much for the company. How can we use your money? Besides, our company isn’t short of money. Just use it whenever you need it! You don’t have to save it.”
“Okay, I’ll start to set up the cultivation room of Tianshan Snow Lotus when it is time.”
Zhao Shanlin nodded with a smile.
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Mr. Zhao, I have to trouble you to cultivate the Tianshan Snow Lotus. It will be the best to cultivate it to the extent that it can be grown on a large scale.”
Zhao Shanlin said, “It’s no problem to cultivate them, but the key is that we don’t have so many mountains with such high altitude.”
Fang Qiu replied, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll think of a way to solve the problem about the land.”
“Okay!”
Fang Qiu nodded.
Later, Fang Qiu wandered around the cultivation base with Zhao Shanlin and talked to him about the cultivation and large-scale planting. Because it was late and there was no flight, Fang Qiu didn’t rush back. Anyway, Jiang Miaoyu would leave the day after tomorrow. He could still make it if he went back tomorrow.
Fang Qiu worked there for half a day the next day. He ordered all kinds of instruments needed for the cultivation room of Tianshan Snow Lotus with Zhao Shanlin. After he decided on the location of the new cultivation room, he bought a ticket and rushed back to Jiangjing.
Early the next morning, Fang Qiu came to the girls’ dormitory, waiting for Jiang Miaoyu to come out and see her off.
However, instead of seeing Jiang Miaoyu, he saw Yuan Bei, Jiang Miaoyu’s roommate.
“Hey, Fang Qiu?”
Catching sight of Fang Qiu, Yuan Bei was stunned at first, but then she immediately beamed.
“Going to class?” asked Fang Qiu.
“I’m coming for you.”
Yuan Bei chuckled, then patted on Fang Qiu’s shoulder and said, “Are you waiting for the campus belle, Jiang Miaoyu, of our school?”
Fang Qiu asked, “Is Miaoyu still packing up her luggage?”
“Packing up?”
Yuan Bei shook her head and said, “She left yesterday.”
Fang Qiu was stunned. “Left? I thought she was supposed to leave today.”
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on.”
Yuan Bei continued, “However, before she left, she left a letter for you. If I hadn’t seen you, I would have forgotten about it. Wait for me here. I’ll get the letter for you.”
Shortly afterward, Yuan Bei fetched Jiang Miaoyu’s letter from the dormitory and handed it to Fang Qiu.
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu took the letter and found that it hadn’t been opened yet. He immediately thanked her and then turned to leave.
As he was walking, he opened the envelope.
He then saw the letter written by Jiang Miaoyu.
“Fang Qiu.
“Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. In fact, it’s not that I don’t want you to see me off, but I’m afraid that I can’t bear the sadness of parting from you.
“Actually, I want to be with you so much. Even staying with you for a minute will make me happy, but I can’t. I must suppress the romance in my heart because I don’t want to become a useless person.
“We’ve been together for so long, and you’ve done so many remarkable things, but I didn’t know anything. I couldn’t help you at all. The only thing I can help you with is that I haven’t been pestering you.
“You know what? It’s not that I don’t want to stick with you, but I don’t dare to do so. You are so prominent. At first, I was proud of you, but when you became more and more brilliant, what I could feel was no longer pride, but a kind of pressure that was constantly increasing and pressing down on me. This pressure made me feel more and more inferior.
“You know, I don’t want to be a doll. I want to be really worthy of you. I want to make some achievements, so I chose to go to Africa for medical help. I want to rescue the patients there because I am a doctor. This is what I should do, and it is what I am supposed to do as your girlfriend.
“Wait for me to come back.
“Don’t fall in love with others.
“If, I mean if you fall in love with someone else, please remember to tell me, and I will wish you happy.”
After reading the letter, Fang Qiu fell silent.
“What a fool!”
After a while, he folded the letter and placed it into his trouser pocket.
Then he immediately turned to leave.
At this moment, Jiang Miaoyu, who arrived in the capital one day in advance, had been waiting for boarding at the Capital International Airport. The plane ticket had been booked. She was going to an island country in Africa, named Comores.
When it was time, Jiang Miaoyu boarded the plane.
Jiang Miaoyu followed the number on the ticket to find her seat and sat down by the window. Then she looked out of the window with a reluctant look.
“Goodbye, my country.
“Goodbye, Fang Qiu. See you in a year!”
Feeling the sense of loss, she closed her eyes.
Then the plane took off.
About 20 hours later, Jiang Miaoyu eventually landed in Comores after a transfer flight.
With a slightly gloomy mood, Jiang Miaoyu followed the medical aid team out of the airport.
Hardly had she walked out of the exit passageway when she saw a big banner.
There were three Chinese characters on the banner—Jiang Miaoyu.
She fixed her eyes on it again.
The person standing outside the safe exit with a banner was none other than Fang Qiu.
Jiang Miaoyu, who was originally in a gloomy mood, was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. Before her tears rolled down, she immediately rushed toward Fang Qiu and hugged him in great surprise.
“Why are you here?” Jiang Miaoyu asked in surprise as she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“It’s impossible for you to hide from me.”
Fang Qiu laughed and whispered in Jiang Miaoyu’s ear, “Don’t do it again. Don’t overthink. There is no such thing as whether you’re worthy of me.”
Jiang Miaoyu smiled.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
The people who came with Jiang Miaoyu to assist Comores surrounded the two of them, but they heard a Chinese shout.
Everyone turned their heads to have a look.
It was the people of the Zhiyuan Team who came to provide medical aid last time. They came here to receive them.
This group of people came over.
When they saw Jiang Miaoyu holding a man in her arms and was so excited that she was about to cry, they were all stunned.
Of course, they knew Jiang Miaoyu.
Even in Africa, they had heard of Jiang Miaoyu. At the same time, quite a few people had seen the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor. Therefore, when they heard that Jiang Miaoyu would come to Africa to give medical aid, they were really looking forward to it.
As soon as they received the girl, they found that she was hugging a man.
What was going on?
Just when everyone was full of doubts, Jiang Miaoyu blushed and let go of Fang Qiu who was holding her tightly.
Fang Qiu also loosened his hands and turned around.
“What the f*ck!”
As soon as Fang Qiu turned his head, a cry of surprise came from the crowd of people who came to receive Jiang Miaoyu and her team members. “Fang Qiu?”
As the shout was heard, all the people who came to receive them were instantly excited.
They all gathered around Fang Qiu like a swarm of bees.
It was clear that many of them were exceptionally excited. Even their bodies were trembling.
This was Fang Qiu!
Although they were far away in Africa, they were always paying attention to the domestic situation. What they had to watch every day was the domestic news.
Because of this, they knew no less about Fang Qiu’s legend than the people at home. But what made it so different was that this was the first time they had seen Fang Qiu personally!
How could they not be excited?
“I didn’t expect that Master Fang Qiu also came to join the volunteer team this year. This is terrific!”
The people who came to receive them were pleasantly surprised.
“Well…”
When the leader of Jiang Miaoyu’s team heard this, he felt embarrassed.
However, Fang Qiu was different.
“I’m just here to join the crowd and try to help out a little.”
Fang Qiu smiled and added, “I’ll leave in a few days. You guys have to handle the most important things.”
The people in the reception team all felt that it was a pity.
Then, under the guidance of the reception team, the group of people walked together and arrived at the station where the medical aid team was located.
Under the warm welcome of the local aid team, they ate a meal of local food. In fact, it was not so great, but it was the best food that could be found here.
Given that they had just arrived, they were still not used to it and found it a little dirty.
However, because they had to stay here for a year, they all gathered their courage, ready to overcome the problem of food.
After dinner, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu took a walk outside the station.
“I heard that this is an island country, and the scenery is quite good. I’ll take it as a trip,” Jiang Miaoyu said cheekily.
“Yeah.”
Fang Qiu curled his lips and said, “This trip will take a year!”
“Are you still angry?” Jiang Miaoyu bit her lip and said to Fang Qiu with embarrassment, blushing.
Fang Qiu sighed softly. “I should be alert to women’s words in the future.”
“Haha.”
Jiang Miaoyu chuckled and said, “I’m giving you a lesson in advance so that you won’t be cheated by other women!”
