When Huo Yuanchen learned the news that Wen Li had left Hai City, he didn't react much.

After the meeting ended that afternoon, he and the dean left the meeting room together. On the way, he casually asked, "Has the matter of going to the countryside to help farmers this semester been decided? Can we add one more place?"

The leader wondered, "You want to go? No one else wants to go. You went last year. Do you want to go this year?"

Huo Yuanchen said calmly, "I went there last year, so I have the experience. Wouldn't it be better to go there again this year?"

The leader was very happy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very aware of this. I was worried that your family was too well off and you couldn't bear the hardship of going to the countryside. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. It just so happens that someone on the list is pregnant and can't go. I was worried about who to replace her with. Your willingness to go has solved my urgent need."

After a pause, he continued, "Remember that you have a very important professional title evaluation this year. Last semester, you were criticized because of the students' illegal use of the laboratory, and the professional title evaluation was put on hold. It doesn't matter. You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Apply again this semester and maybe you will succeed."

Huo Yuanchen asked his leader, "Where are the farmers being helped this time?"

The leader said, "This time it was Professor Yu who proposed this place. Don't you have a student named Li Hong? I heard that the conditions in her hometown are very difficult. The hospital also conducted an investigation in advance and it fully meets the criteria for assistance."

Huo Yuanchen nodded.

Afterwards, Yu Jingchen came to him with the updated list, "Are you going too?"

Huo Yuanchen said without even looking up, "Can't I go?"

Yu Jingchen came over and tapped his fingers on the itinerary, reminding him, "Watch out, this time I'll be gone for a month. Can you rest assured that I won't be in Haishi for such a long time?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyelids and looked at him calmly, "What do you want to say?"

Yu Jingchen leaned close to him and said gossipingly, "I heard from Zhou Ying that Wen Li broke up with that male star? You weren't thinking that you didn't have a rival in love, so you were able to go out for so long without any worries, right?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything.

Yu Jingchen continued, "If you ask me, you should try harder to get Wen Li back now. You know, she just broke up, she's sad and lonely, it's a good opportunity for you to take advantage of her. Didn't that male star do the same thing when she broke up with you ? You're using their own methods to fight them back, it's not unethical."

Huo Yuanchen gave him a cold look.

Yu Jingchen touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm just giving you some advice. If you don't think it's good, just don't adopt it."

After a pause, he continued, "Even if you trust Wen Li, can you trust An Wen? I heard that the conditions there are very difficult, and even the cell phone signal is very poor. Can An Wen bear it if you leave her alone for a month?"

Huo Yuanchen said coldly, "An Wen is staying in the teaching and research office, with senior brothers and sisters guiding her in scientific research. What can't she bear?"

Yu Jingchen sneered, "Come on, I know that. She sticks to you very much. I heard that she still rarely lives in the dormitory. Have you renewed the lease of the house you rented for her? You are taking care of her too meticulously."

Huo Yuanchen said indifferently, "An Ran is abroad, and the ones I am most worried about are her mother and sister. It's no big deal if I help take care of them."

Yu Jingchen wanted to say something, but Huo Yuanchen asked him back, "You've been away for a month. Did you tell Professor Zhou? What was Professor Zhou's reaction?"

Yu Jingchen's gossipy face suddenly collapsed. He pursed his lips and said helplessly, "How can she react? Just one sentence, I know. Nothing else."

Huo Yuanchen smiled, quite sarcastic. Yu Jingchen felt it was boring, so he asked Huo Yuanchen to sign the list and left.

Soon, the news that Huo Yuanchen was going to the countryside to help farmers spread throughout the courtyard.

As Yu Jingchen expected, An Wen came to Huo Yuanchen to confirm as soon as possible.

When she came, her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. When she saw Huo Yuanchen, her face was tense and she was trying her best to control her emotions.

But when she opened her mouth to speak, tears could not stop flowing out, "Brother Yuanchen, are you really going to the countryside for a month?"

Huo Yuanchen was packing up his things. Hearing this, he nodded coldly, "That's right."

An Wen asked him aggrievedly, "Why do you still want to go? It was you last year, and it's you this year too. The hospital is too bullying. They always let you go because they think you are easy to talk to."

Huo Yuanchen said, "I want to go there on my own."

An Wen asked him in disbelief, "Why?"

Huo Yuanchen turned around and looked at her coldly, "I don't want to postpone my professional title selection until next year. If possible, I would like to apply again this semester."

An Wen was full of questions but couldn't say anything.

She knew that Huo Yuanchen's job title selection last semester failed because of her, and she had been worried about this, fearing that Huo Yuanchen would vent his anger on her. Fortunately, he never mentioned it to her, and she was a little relieved, thinking that Huo Yuanchen was too tolerant of her.

Now that he said this, her heart was filled with grievances and guilt again.

She walked over, not caring that the office door was still open, and put her arms around Huo Yuanchen's waist, choking with sobs as she said, "Brother Yuanchen, I'm sorry, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer again."

Huo Yuanchen wanted to pry her hands apart, but she held him tightly, so he let her do what she wanted.

The voice corrected her coldly, "It's just going to the countryside for a while, not to a war zone, so it's not like you'll suffer. And I've been there once last year, so I have experience."

An Wen shook her head and said, "How can it be the same? Last year, the place where we helped farmers was my hometown. My mother had informed the village in advance, and it is also close to Hai City. You can come back anytime if you don't get used to it. But this time we have to go to Senior Sister Li Hong's hometown. I heard that her hometown only had electricity two years ago, and the villagers are reluctant to use tap water. What if they use unclean water to cook for you and you get sick?"

In fact, she also wanted to say that Li Hong always had a strange smell on her body. She suspected that Li Hong had fleas. She was heartbroken about the fact that Huo Yuanchen was going to live in Li Hong's hometown for a month.

But Huo Yuanchen interrupted her with a cold look.

"Others can go, why can't I?" he asked An Wen.

An Wen thought to herself, can others compare with Brother Yuanchen? But she didn't dare to say it, for fear that Huo Yuanchen would be angry.

She hugged Huo Yuanchen's waist, sobbing and whispering, "I just feel sorry for you. I'm afraid you won't get used to it there."

Huo Yuanchen sighed and promised her, "I'll try to call you, and you don't have to worry too much."

An Wen nodded with tears in her eyes, looking stubborn and pitiful, like a tenacious little white flower.

Zhou Ying came to find Huo Yuanchen. The door was not closed. She stood at the door and saw this scene, feeling quite sad.

If she didn't know that Huo Yuanchen still wanted to get back together with Wen Li, she would have been deeply moved by the scene before her.

The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, the picture is quite beautiful.

She raised her hand and knocked gently on the door, then raised her eyebrows sarcastically and asked Huo Yuanchen.

"Do you want me to close the door for you?"
