Chapter 354: Just one condition: don't be a doctor, definitely don't be a doctor!

Before going to sleep, Shen Man looked in the mirror again and again, measuring with scissors for a long while, finally deciding to cut it to the length of her collarbone.

This way, when it's hot, she can tie it up, and the symptom of pressing her hair should improve a lot.

"Alright, stop measuring. It's getting late, time to rest."

A pair of powerful hands on her waist pulled her back, her head leaning against a broad chest, inexplicably giving her a sense of safety.

"The children are still..."

As soon as Shen Man finished speaking, the man's righteous voice rang out—

"Try taking them into the space."

"Hm?"

Is this possible?

Shen Man hadn't tried it before; hearing this, she hesitated for a few seconds. Should she try?

The next second, with a thought, the children were actually taken into the space!

Placing the children in the small room, she asked Tangyuan to look after them for a while.

Then, leaving the space, she asked the man how he knew the children could be brought into the space.

"Guessed."

Jiang Ye couldn't enter the space; he guessed it was a protective mechanism after the space recognized its master.

As for the children, they had half his bloodline, and also his wife's.

"Let's not discuss the children and the space for now. It's rare that the children aren't around, we should do something we love to do..."

At the age of twenty-something, full of vigor, he didn't want to regret not working hard enough when he was in his thirties!

The night was still long.

Pei Yao thought that coming to a strange place and sleeping in a strange room would cause insomnia.

But unexpectedly, she had no dreams all night and slept until dawn, feeling very refreshed.

Simply tidying up, she changed into a set of clothes, then picked up her toiletries to go wash up, and by the way, washed the clothes she had changed out of yesterday to hang them out to dry.

Having grown up independently since childhood, she had learned a lot of life skills from her sister.

Not to mention laundry, even cooking was no problem for her.

In the past two years, ever since that Lu Manman left, she had been doing very well at the Capital Hospital.

Her work was getting busier, her private time was getting less, and she couldn't even rest during holidays.

She understood a bit why her parents were so busy, and also understood why her grandfather had been so busy back then.

Because if she was busy for a day, busy with a surgery, then one more family would get hope, and one more patient would recover.

It was truly busy, but also very fulfilling.

So fulfilling that she had no time to find a partner or consider personal marriage issues.

According to the life trajectory of her peers in the Grand Courtyard, most people were already married and had a first child, a second child, a third child...

The older sister seems to be pregnant with her second child now; Shen Man already has a boy-girl pair, so whether she has more doesn't really matter, as the children have already made a "good" character.

In comparison, she was a total failure!

Yesterday, she jokingly said she wanted Shen Man's husband to help her keep an eye out for any single military officer partners; actually, it couldn't be said to be completely joking; she really did have some thoughts in her heart.

If there was a suitable partner, she would also be happy to stay on the Sea Island; after all, her sister and grandfather were here...

Just one condition: don't be a doctor, definitely don't be a doctor!

It was enough that she was a doctor; she really couldn't stand it if the other half was also a doctor!

Don't tell her about two people having the same profession and having common topics.

Bah!

People with the same profession spark sparks that are truly terrifying!

For example, her parents, because they were university professors, didn't come home for years and months!

Every time they came home, they were just chattering about equations, chattering about academic stuff; she couldn't understand it at all. As their child, it was very uncomfortable anyway!

If it weren't for her grandfather studying medicine and the family having to have a successor studying medicine for generations, she wouldn't have been able to study medicine like her sister. If she were asked to take the teacher exam, she would really go crazy!

"Hello, is this Ms. Pei Yao?"

"Mm, yes, little comrade, is there something you need from me?"

"Mm, hello, I am your exclusive tour guide, Xiao Hai. It was Sister Shen Man who asked me to take you around the Sea Island."

"Oh, it was Manman who introduced you. Good, good, good, have you eaten this morning?"

Hearing that it was someone recommended by Shen Man, her guard relaxed.

"I've eaten. If you haven't eaten yet, I can wait for you to finish before we set off."

Xiao Hai nodded to indicate he had already eaten.

Moreover, he had received the payment from Sister Shen Man, so naturally, he had to be diligent.

"Mm, okay, okay, I've already eaten. I'll go back upstairs to tidy up some things and will be downstairs to meet you in a moment."

Pei Yao nodded; she wanted to go back to her room to pack a bag, put in some money and coupons, and her introduction letter.

Nowadays, introduction letters were needed everywhere. Before things like household registration certificates came out, the introduction letter was the proof that a person could walk around without being arrested.

Xiao Hai stood on the first floor; people passing by saw him and nodded slightly, obviously he was a frequent visitor here.

Wang Mingkui saw Xiao Hai and waved, taking a few candies from the drawer and handing them to the other party, saying:

"Xiao Hai, come here, Auntie saved a few candies for your younger sister, you take them to her."

"Thank you, Auntie, I understand."

Xiao Hai didn't decline; they were all acquaintances. Another day when he wasn't busy, he would bring a bucket of shrimp to give to this auntie to thank her.

Wang Mingkui smiled slightly, signaling him to do as he pleased.

She still had to reconcile accounts and organize the registration book; there were quite a lot of things to do, so she wouldn't entertain him.

Before long, Pei Yao came down from upstairs, wearing a sun hat on her head and carrying a crossbody bag, looking youthful, vibrant, and poised.

Wang Mingkui looked a few more times, thinking that she was truly worthy of being a female comrade from the Capital; her style was just different, and she looked so spirited.

"Wangjie, we're leaving, we won't be back at noon."

"Got it. Xiao Hai, you take this sister and have a good time, be sure to make people feel at home."

"Received!"

Xiao Hai interacted with Wangjie, then made a gesture of invitation to Sister Pei Yao.

"Alright, no need to be so polite with me.

Since Sister Shen Man asked you to entertain me, I believe you will accompany me to have a great time on the Sea Island.

Let's not talk too much, let's go, let me see what fun things there are inside and outside the Sea Island!"

"Sister Pei Yao, would you like to go sea-catching first, or would you like to eat our local specialty delicacies?"

Xiao Hai nodded; since the other party said so, he followed the lead and directly called the other party "Sister."

Afterwards, the two walked out together, chatting about the arrangements for the day.

Sea-catching was a must; Pei Yao had always heard her grandfather or sister say in telegrams how interesting sea-catching was, how many beautiful shells, fish, and shrimp there were by the sea, fresh kelp...

She had been longing for this for a long time. She wasn't very hungry for the moment, so why not go sea-catching first?

Xiao Hai, after understanding Sister Pei Yao's thoughts, thought for a while and decided to take the other party to an acquaintance's place to pick fruit first, then go home to find tools for sea-catching, and take the other party to experience the fun of sea-catching.

After all, as a local like him, he had the hang of how to play and how to have fun. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
