That was a familiar yet unexpected face - Pei Jingchuan.

Jiang Yuzhu stood at the door, staring sleepily at Pei Jingchuan in front of her. Her voice was filled with surprise: "Jingchuan, why are you here suddenly?"

Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly, his eyes were deep and gentle. After scanning the room to make sure there was no one else, he said slowly: "I miss you."

This sentence was simple and direct, but it made Jiang Yuzhu's heart beat faster.

Her cheeks were slightly red. She tried to hide her embarrassment and said in a calm tone: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I wasn't even ready."

Pei Jingchuan walked into the room gently, his voice still maintaining a deep tone: "I want to give you a surprise. It does seem a bit sudden."

Jiang Yuzhu gently closed the door and turned to face Pei Jingchuan. A trace of warmth flashed in her eyes: "You are always like this, you don't act according to common sense."

Jiang Yuzhu gently took Pei Jingchuan's hand and led him into the room. Her face was filled with unconcealable joy. In the warm living room, the two sat down opposite each other.

Jiang Yuzhu's voice was full of excitement: "Jingchuan, I have good news to tell you. We have found a way to save Meng Ling."

Pei Jingchuan's eyes immediately lit up, and his face showed a rare joy.

His usual cold appearance was replaced by deep expectation: "Really? That's great. What is the specific method?"

Jiang Yuzhu told Pei Jingchuan in detail that there was a medicine in Jiangnan that could save Mengling.

Her eyes were full of hope and determination: "Although the process of getting the medicine is difficult, it is a huge hope for Meng Ling."

Pei Jingchuan listened carefully, with deep admiration in his eyes: "You made the right choice, Yu Zhu. I know this means a lot to you. If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me at any time."

A warmth surged in Jiang Yuzhu's heart, and she felt Pei Jingchuan's silent support.

She smiled and responded: "Thank you, Jingchuan. With you behind me, I feel like everything is no problem."

Pei Jingchuan sat upright on the sofa, his eyes suddenly became serious, and there was a hint of inquiry in his tone: "Yuzhu, where is Yan Zeqing? Do you know where he is now?"

Jiang Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a confused expression: "How do I know where Yan Zeqing is? We have no contact."

A trace of relief flashed in Pei Jingchuan's eyes, and his tone returned to calm: "I saw his photos on social media and was a little worried. But now that I hear you say that, I feel relieved."

Jiang Yuzhu noticed the worry hidden in Pei Jingchuan's words. She smiled slightly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "It seems that you are a little jealous. Don't worry, I am not interested in Yan Zeqing."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Pei Jingchuan's mouth, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his voice: "Maybe a little. But I believe in you, Yu Zhu."

During the warm conversation between the two, Jiang Yuzhu's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting their communication.

She picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and vigilance, and his brows furrowed slightly.

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although Pei Jingchuan couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying, the smile on Jiang Yuzhu's face became brighter and brighter.

Pei Jingchuan's expression gradually became serious. He stared closely at Jiang Yuzhu's face, trying to read some information from her expression. After the call ended, Jiang Yuzhu hung up the phone excitedly and turned to look at Pei Jingchuan. Her eyes flashed with joy: "That's Chen Hao. He told me that the medicine is ready and we can go get it!"

Pei Jingchuan's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. The doubts in his heart disappeared instantly: "That's great, Yu Zhu."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded, her face full of expectation: "Yes, now, as long as there is medicine, Meng Ling has a chance to recover."

Pei Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was thoughtful: "It is definitely not easy to get such a rare drug. Do you need to meet any special conditions in the process of obtaining the drug?"

Jiang Yuzhu nodded slightly, her expression looking a little serious: "There are indeed conditions. I need to officially join their research institute and become part of the project. Only in this way can we ensure that we can obtain the drugs first."

Pei Jingchuan frowned, and there was dissatisfaction in his voice: "Doesn't that mean you have to stay in Jiangnan for a long time?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head slightly and explained with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to stay here for a long time. I just need to come and participate in the key stages of the project. Most of the time, I can still conduct research and work in our original place."

There was a subtle expression on Pei Jingchuan's face, his brows furrowed, obviously dissatisfied with the fact that Jiang Yuzhu needed to come to Jiangnan from time to time.

His voice was filled with deep concern: "This means you'll be gone a lot. I don't like this arrangement."

Jiang Yuzhu gently stroked the back of Pei Jingchuan's hand, trying to comfort him: "Jingchuan, I know this makes you uneasy, but I have to do this for Meng Ling. Please believe me, everything will be fine."

Pei Jingchuan's eyes became deep and his voice was low: "Of course I believe you, Yu Zhu. I just don't want you to be too far away from me. But if this is the only way, I will support you."

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes flashed with gratitude, and her voice was gentle: "Thank you for your understanding, Jingchuan."

Their eyes met, showing deep trust in each other.

As the morning sunlight poured into the room through the curtains, the conversation between Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu gradually came to an end.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes revealed a firm determination. He stood up and his voice was calm but full of concern: "I'll take you to the laboratory."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded, her eyes flashing with determination: "Okay."

They walked out of the hotel together and walked to the car parked on the side of the road. Pei Jingchuan opened the car door for Jiang Yuzhu in a gentlemanly manner. She easily got into the car, and then Pei Jingchuan also sat back in the driver's seat.

The car was filled with a light fresh aroma. Pei Jingchuan always maintained a calm look on his face and he gently started the vehicle.

The car drove slowly on the quiet street, and the sun shone on them through the car window.

Jiang Yuzhu quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, with some subtle changes in his heart. Pei Jingchuan drove intently, occasionally glancing at Jiang Yuzhu with deep concern in his eyes.

Pei Jingchuan's voice broke the silence in the car: "Yuzhu, are you sure about this decision?"

Jiang Yuzhu turned his head and looked at him, his eyes revealing determination: "I'm sure. I'm willing to pay any price for Meng Ling."

Pei Jingchuan understood deeply. He knew that Jiang Yuzhu's character was always thinking of others.
