Chapter 18: 【18】et Him Again
Slap!
The sudden sound of the phone being hung up left Sun Rongfang startled—what was with her cousin?
She hadn’t expected Xie Wanying to manage to go for a run after finishing her exam. After Zhou Ruoi slamd down her cousin’s phone, she just stared blankly and sat there for a while.
She had wanted to pour another bucket of cold water over her cousin’s head, but it didn’t happen.
“I’ll just see how she’s going to beco a doctor!” Zhou Ruoi clenched her teeth as she spoke.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a skinny girl with no family financial backing even dream of becoming the first female thoracic surgeon in the country? The idea was absurd!
After finishing her exam, Xie Wanying felt very relaxed. Since the sumr night breeze was cool and comfortable, she started jogging along the small river beside her house.
Canvas shoes weren’t ideal for running, so Xie Wanying thought about how to work and buy a pair of running shoes as soon as possible. As she ran and walked, she found herself, without realizing it, arriving at Zhou Ruoi’s hospital.
Thinking about it now, her aunt’s house was actually not far from her own—after all, the town was small. Such a short distance could be covered in an hour on foot, yet there was little contact between her family and Zhou Ruoi’s. Xie Wanying lanted in her heart how naive she and her mother had been in her previous life.
There was a small car parked at the hospital entrance today. Xie Wanying stood behind a lamppost and casually glanced over, spotting the handso doctor she had t in the ergency room before.
This ti he didn’t notice her, and was chatting with a group of people.
“Teacher Cao, when can we go to the Capital to find you?”
A group of young doctors surrounded Cao Yong, chirping like sparrows. Among them were interns and young resident doctors, their eyes shining with the adoration of fans eting their idol, looking at Cao Yong.
To Xie Wanying, this scene was all too familiar, and she could tell at a glance that this handso doctor must be quite remarkable.
The neurosurgery director, seeing the crowd, shooed the young doctors away, saying, “Alright, alright, what could you possibly do in the Capital?”
“Director Yu, they can also co to my place to play, as long as it’s not to see a doctor. I’ll treat them to donkey burger,” Cao Yong said, flicking back the rebellious lock of hair on his forehead.
When it ca to food, who wouldn’t be tempted? Even the neurosurgery director joined in, asking, “Isn’t the Capital’s most famous dish shredded pork in Beijing sauce?”
“No, no. Dragon at in the sky, donkey at on the ground. Anyway, what I love most is the donkey burger from the shop near our hospital,” Cao Yong told them.
Seeing it was about ti, Director Yu asked the group of young doctors to go back into the hospital, and, placing a hand on Cao Yong’s shoulder, personally escorted him to his car, saying, “I really appreciate your help, and your uncle’s, this ti around.”
“Don’t be so formal, Director.”
“Your presence has brought us great techniques and effects and has stimulated the young here to study dicine diligently. Our general surgery departnt said that they couldn’t believe you saved that patient that day.”
I didn’t expect it either. Cao Yong thought to himself. If it hadn’t been for that little fairy’s decisive reminder, if he had been slower or the patient had bled more, he would have been powerless standing at the operating table.
Wondering if he would ever et the little fairy again, Cao Yong got into the car, headed for the airport, and boarded a flight back to the Capital.
Watching his car drive away from a distance, Xie Wanying thought to herself that he was not really a doctor from her aunt’s hospital after all.
