"If I didn't value and care for you, would I be so thorough?" Zhang Yan said seriously. "Ani, although we are close, I must say, Master Yan is truly good. He may seem a bit older, but older men know how to care for people, right? You should seriously consider it."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zhang Yan. "Sister Zhang, I am only fourteen. Why are you asking me to consider this? Shouldn't you be thinking about your own relationship with Brother Wang first?"
Zhang Yan chuckled. "Wang Ye and I have already discussed it. Since we are following you anyway, we will get married when we have time. Once the matters in Tian Shi are settled and Boss Luo returns, Wang Ye and I will register our marriage, and then we will all have a meal together."
"You won't meet each other's families?" Zhu Yanyi felt a mix of amusement and speechlessness upon hearing Zhang Yan's words.
"Why meet? Our families live far apart, one in the south and one in the north. Traveling back and forth would cost too much money. We have already decided that if we have time at the end of the year, and if things are safe and quiet here, we will go back to visit them. If there are issues, we will just send some gifts. As long as we are filial to the elders, that is what matters. They won't mind if our hearts are in the right place." Zhang Yan looked completely unconcerned.
Zhu Yanyi nodded, but still felt a bit guilty. Zhang Yan and Wang Ye were in this situation mainly because of her. "It is all because of me that you cannot go back to visit them often."
"Yanyi, don't say that. If Wang Ye heard you say that, he would hold it against me." Zhang Yan laughed heartily. "I won't speak for others, but since we followed you, we have been incredibly happy. It is just that we cannot go back often. Some soldiers might not return home for ten years. We only cannot return for a year or two. Following you, we have already gone back several times, and we might even go back this year."
Zhu Yanyi thought about it. It seemed true. As long as there were no major issues on her end, they could go back. Zhu Yanyi now hoped that there would be no major events this year. If there were any, they would certainly be significant.
The next day, they went to the square again. However, seeing the changing weather, they decided to go to a large auditorium prepared nearby.
As soon as they entered the auditorium, heavy rain began to fall outside, soaking many staff members.
"This weather, raining suddenly when it was sunny just a few days ago," Old Liu said helplessly, looking at the sky. "Fortunately, we prepared for both scenarios. We hold events in the square on sunny days, and in this auditorium on rainy days."
"Actually, it doesn't matter much whether it is inside or outside." Because of the positive effect of the first day's exchange, most of the foreign representatives present were now very amiable, lacking the arrogance they had when they first arrived.
"Yes." Old Liu smiled and then said, "Now I will announce the agenda for this morning. This morning, we will mainly discuss a special medical case provided by the International Medical Association. This case has never been seen before. We hope that through this discussion, we will make new progress." After speaking, Old Liu nodded slightly to a staff member nearby, who began distributing materials, one copy for each person.
