Part Three, Chapter 79: Appreciation 6

re. She ran up to them, the breeze lifting her bangs to reveal her smooth forehead. Yi Muyang suddenly remembered that day at the Extreme Challenge arena when she fell from the climbing wall onto him,...Chen Ning was very tired. After seeing the leader, she limped back to her room to rest. As if they were telepathic, just as she was thinking of sending a message to Song Jingye, his message came in first, "Are you done"

This was the day she had been in contact with him most closely since her business trip abroad.

Chen Ling sent a video request, and almost the second she did, he accepted it.

I had a thousand words I wanted to say to him, but in that instant when the call connected, I just greedily stared at him, not wanting to say a word. I didn't want to break this silence, because Song Jingye was looking at her too, with concern and longing.

They just looked at each other silently for a while before Song Jingye spoke, "Are you hurt"

There are more and more videos circulating online, all taken by tourists near the square at the time. The footage is shaky, with shots from every angle. In the chaotic scenes, he saw a familiar figure protecting a child flash past.

It was a figure he knew all too well, so he saw him at once. He wanted to scold her for not knowing safety and charging ahead with everything

But, the last line that was typed out was: Ningning, I'm proud of you.

Chen Ning heard his question, a bit of bitterness mixed with relief, "I'm fine, just a little skin abrasion on my foot, I've already applied medicine."

"Did you hurt your foot"

"Just a little skin broken, I'm fine."

"Let me see."

Chen Ning didn't try to hide it. He would ask, and there was definitely something he had noticed. Instead of being evasive, it was better to be straightforward, which would make people feel more at ease. So she pointed the camera at her foot and showed him: "Look, I'm fine. It's just a scrape. Because it wasn't treated in time, it bled a little."

Only when she truly seemed unharmed did Song Jingye finally let out a sigh of relief: "Next time, before doing anything, always put your safety first."

"Got it."

"Do you have any idea when you'll be back"

Song Jingye finished his question, Chen Ling just smiled back without answering.

"What are you laughing at"

"Uncle, have you been thinking about me" she asked openly.

"Hmm, I miss you."

“I miss you, I really miss you.”

The more she thought about it, the more she missed being held by him. She must be looking lovestruck right now because she saw Song Jingye suddenly smile and softly call her an idiot.

“The return time may be a few days later than originally planned because the meetings for the next two days have been postponed.”

"Well, I'll pick you up then. Just be careful over there."

"Got it."

After chatting for a while more about random things, they reluctantly ended the video call.

After the incident, Chen Ling was unable to attend any further meetings or activities due to a leg injury. She could only serve as a logistical support staff at the hotel.

Because of this incident, it has caused a negative impact worldwide and attracted widespread attention. Many domestic media outlets learned that they were at the scene at the time, so they contacted them through various channels to conduct a video interview.

Chen Ning has always been low-key, and she believes this is what she should do, there's nothing to say about it. These media outlets want material, and there's plenty online.

But her direct supervisor said, "Let Xiao Xu take charge and choose a suitable media outlet for the interview. This is a good thing, it can showcase the style of our young diplomats."

Chen Ning didn't refuse again. This was also an opportunity for her leader to give her a chance to show herself outside the company.

Xu Haichen quickly assessed the several media outlets that had contacted him and chose one of the more authoritative official media outlets for an interview.

Chen Ning was the main interview subject, while Xu Haichen played as support.

This is a live program, and all videos can be disseminated in China immediately.

Two people in formal attire sat in front of the camera. Chen Ning was slightly nervous, while Xu Haichen remained as relaxed as ever. After learning about the main events from them, the other person asked: "I heard that at the most dangerous moment, you rushed out of the restaurant to save a child. Were you afraid then"

Chen Ning replied, "Of course I was afraid, but at the time, all I thought about was saving people. There wasn't time to think too much."

"Because you're a fellow countryman that's why you rushed out to save him What if it was a foreign child"

Chen Ling was taken aback by the question, but quickly replied, "There are no borders in the face of disaster."

It seemed like the other party was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and continued to ask: “I saw a picture online where you were forcefully pulling a doctor away to help a Chinese elderly person. If that doctor wanted to treat someone who was closer at the time, would you have deprived others of the opportunity to be treated”

Chen Ning replied: "First, the severity of a patient's condition is judged by the doctor. That elderly person experienced cardiac arrest and required emergency treatment. There was no question of depriving anyone else of medical attention; furthermore, my duty is to do everything in my power to protect the lives and safety of compatriots. What I said about there being no borders in a disaster doesn't contradict this."

Faced with the reporter's harsh questioning, Chen Ling's tone grew firm.

After she finished her answer, the reporter wanted to ask further questions, but Xu Haichen took over and continued, “In this terrorist incident, we ensured the safety of nearly 50 compatriots. We also sent a medical team to the scene to provide assistance, comfort foreign victims, and carry out a series of other work.”

Although they were new to the scene and facing the media for the first time, their words were firm and resolute, showing no sign of backing down.

The questions from the reporters afterward became much milder.

This interview also quickly spread on domestic social media, but netizens' focus seems to have shifted. The comments below are all about how this is the youngest diplomatic team ever, how handsome the man and beautiful the woman are, how well they match, how their chemistry is clearly that of a couple, and even that it's good material for daydreams.

Chen Ning and Xu Haochen also saw it, but they just smiled it off. Since their university days, they were often mistaken as a couple.

Song Jingye has been following the news about the country these days, so of course he saw it too.

"A match made in heaven," he mused, pondering the three characters. Where did they match up

Zheng Ke also sent a message: "Song team, am I seeing things right Those videos online are our little Ling's comeback"

Song Jingye coldly replied with an "um."

"Xiao Ning is amazing! But Song Team, you need to step it up. I think that young man beside him is really good."

Song Jingye wanted to block him directly.

After that, I just pretended not to see it and quit the internet, no longer looking at any related news.

Chen Ling was expected to delay her return home, but because of this incident, some less important activities were canceled. After the main conference ended, the visiting group returned home a day earlier than originally planned.

Only when it was truly time to return home did I realize that two weeks had flown by.

Teacher Zhang came to the airport to see them off. After arranging everything, he hugged Chen Ling goodbye and they parted ways. The two had stayed together for half a month, forging a deep friendship, especially after experiencing life-and-death situations together. Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "See you again when I return to my country."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, I look forward to the day we meet again." he was joking around with his grandfather and Lu Yaoyao, he also quietly made sure to serve Ruan Ruan, helping her get dishes that were out of reach.Ruannuan possesses a tranquil and scholarly air, e...
