Chapter 184: Farewell to Childhood Friend [184]
Otherwise, how could the two of them beco childhood friends, sharing the sa concept of favoring males over females? In their place, such things are commonplace. Wu Lixuan thought to herself, “Highly educated people from big cities wouldn’t understand these matters.”
Wu Lixuan gulped down her porridge without saying a word.
“Do you two share the sa secret?”
This voice? Wu Lixuan looked up and, sure enough, saw her childhood friend’s Senior Brother Huang, and exclaid in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Standing behind Cao Yong, Huang Zhilei adjusted his glasses and replied, “Why can’t I be here?”
“She went to bring you clay pot rice,” Wu Lixuan said anxiously for her childhood friend.
“I was passing by, I didn’t know; I’ll eat it later when I get back to the duty room,” Huang Zhilei responded.
So this guy had just happened to pass by and overheard their conversation. Wu Lixuan turned her face away. She and Xie Wanying both hated when others dug into their secrets because they didn’t like to be pitied. Girls who had fought their way up on their own didn’t need the sympathy of others.
Seeing Wu Lixuan’s odd expressions, Cao Yong thought about her recently reddened eyes and was sure sothing must have happened to her. anwhile, Xie Wanying, who had gone to deliver clay pot rice to Senior Brother Huang, received another call from Senior Cao.
“Return to the departnt in a couple of days. I’ll be at work then, and I promised to teach you how to suture.”
“Thank you, Senior Cao.”
After a couple of days, having administered the injection and her fever gone without further issues, Wu Lixuan had to return to her hotown to work.
Xie Wanying accompanied her to the train station, and the two embraced when they parted.
“I’ll co to see you when I have ti,” Wu Lixuan said to her childhood friend, “This ti around, knowing you’re busy being a doctor, it’s easier for to co to you than for you to find .”
Xie Wanying felt guilty at heart; her friend had co, and she hadn’t been able to properly show her around the Capital.
“It’s all my fault for not being used to the north, falling sick and not having fun – it’s nothing to do with you.” After saying this, Wu Lixuan grabbed her hand and furrowed her brows, wondering if she should tell her what Senior Cao had asked her in private.
“Is there sothing you want to say?” Xie Wanying, sensing her friend had sothing hidden, asked.
The train ticket check comnced. “It’s nothing,” Wu Lixuan turned around, picked up her luggage, took a couple of steps, then turned back and said to her, “Senior Cao is a good person.”
Sister that he is indeed. Xie Wanying smiled.
Unsure whether her childhood friend had grasped the underlying aning of her words, and uncertain about what to say, Wu Lixuan headed toward the ticket gate.
Standing on tiptoes, Xie Wanying watched as her best friend from childhood disappeared into the crowd, leaving her heart filled with a sense of loss. Her childhood friend’s visit had brought the warm breath of their hotown; the native soil is a unique sentint that no one can abandon.
Do you miss ho?
Quite, even though the teachers and classmates here are all very kind.
After seeing off her friend, Xie Wanying returned to her dorm to review her books. Tomorrow would be the sixth day, and she needed to go back to the neurosurgery internship. She had to make good use of her ti. With classes starting in a couple of days, there wouldn’t be an opportunity to intern at the hospital like this for a while.
At Guoxie University Hospital, according to the holiday schedule, work would officially resu on the eighth day of the new year. However, being a doctor is different from other professions; soone still has to be on duty even during holidays.
On the sixth and seventh days, the staff from each departnt ca back to work at different tis according to their departnt’s requirents. In departnts like neurosurgery, they needed to return on the sixth for rounds and to adjust their rest and work schedules. On the seventh, they would start performing surgeries that had been delayed due to the Spring Festival, and then it was back to the normal routine on the eighth.
Senior Brother had inford her that she should be back in the departnt before eight o’clock to prepare for the handover eting.
After having breakfast and so exercise early in the morning, Xie Wanying arrived at the neurosurgery departnt before seven-thirty.
In the ward, doctors and nurses who had returned to work were busy scurrying around.
