Chapter 1331: 【1331】Classmate Reunion
Seeing the patient’s face, Pan Shihua sighed and said, “It’s him.”
“Do you know him?” the others asked.
“He was my high school classmate back then, his na should be Chen Chengran,” Pan Shihua said.
The patient also recognized Pan Shihua, the pallor on his face tinged with an excited blush, and two beams of light shone from his listless eyes. He said to his doctor classmate, “It’s you. Pan Shihua, you really beca a doctor?”
“Yes.” Pan Shihua’s delicate face showed a hint of shyness.
He was a boy who got embarrassed easily. The dramatic reunion with a high school classmate made it hard to imagine back then. When they attended the sa school and sat in the sa classroom, who could have predicted one would be critically ill in bed years later, while the other wore a white coat to treat his classmate.
“The doctor’s coat you’re wearing suits you well,” Chen Chengran said approvingly, sizing up his classmate who had beco a doctor.
“I’m not a doctor yet, just a dical student for the ti being,” Pan Shihua explained to his classmate that he was with his teacher to see patients.
“That’s alright,” Chen Chengran said to him, “I know you’re amazing; back then you ranked first in our class in college entrance exams. You were the only one in the province who got into the Guoxie Eight-Year Program.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed by his classmate’s praise, Pan Shihua turned his face to the side and saw Teacher Jiang walk away, leaving him to independently inquire about the patient’s dical history.
“I don’t rember you having this illness before,” Pan Shihua asked about the origin of his classmate’s illness.
“You studied at Capital Guoxie, and I ca to the Capital area to study at Geological University. I thought it was just acclimatization from leaving ho, resulting in endless stomach aches. But it only got worse,” Chen Chengran said, his tone sorrowful and seemingly hopeless as he talked about his illness, “I’m not even sure if I can complete my undergraduate studies. My classmates are graduating this year, and I’m the only one on dical leave. As for work, there’s no hope; no company would want an unhealthy person like .”
Hearing the disheartened tone of his sick classmate, Pan Shihua encouraged him, “dicine is becoming more advanced, there’s hope.”
Not feeling comforted, Chen Chengran’s face was full of helplessness, especially seeing his classmate in his pri with a healthy body and a promising future, while his own future seed bleak in comparison. He felt like half of his body was already lying in a coffin. The only thing troubling him was, “Pity my parents who raised , and I can’t repay them. What will they do in the future? Pan Shihua, you’re a doctor now, can you tell how much longer I can live? Maybe my parents discussed it with the doctors, asking you not to tell about my condition.”
Being asked such a question, Pan Shihua felt a heavy pressure weighing on him.
Feng Yicong and Xie Wanying watched from the side, equally anxious and heavy-hearted.
After careful consideration, Pan Shihua decided to respect the choice of the patient’s family. He placed his hand on his classmate’s shoulder to comfort him, “I think you should trust the doctors and not overthink. Don’t worry, we are here with you, and surely you’ll overco the illness. You do not have a terminal disease, you mustn’t lose confidence in yourself.”
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Chen Chengran looked at his face and said, “Pan Shihua, you know? People often say if you were a girl, they’d have married you already.”
Pan Shihua was thoroughly taken aback.
