"Are you with Doctor Chang?" Cao Yong turned his back on everyone else, sounding rather calm over the phone.
"Yes, Doctor Chang ca to the school for a run and happened to et ," Xie Wanying said. "He said he’d take to buy breakfast."
What a coincidence? More like intentional. Huang Zhilei swung the towel in his hand, wishing he could hurl it through the phone at the guy’s face: How dare he have improper thoughts about his junior sister? This guy deserves a beating.
"Give the phone to him," Cao Yong said.
Cao Senior was probably going to discuss the patient’s condition with the attending physician. Xie Wanying thought so, and handed her phone to the senior in front of her, saying, "Teacher Chang, Senior Cao wants to ask you about the patient in bed 16."
Upon hearing this, Chang Jiawei shivered, perhaps from catching a cold from the chilly wind. After steadying himself, he took the phone from her hand.
"Hello, what’s up, Dr. Cao?"
"You guys are going to the KFC at the entrance to buy breakfast. I’ll send soone over to help you take it, otherwise, you two won’t be able to carry so much. Today’s breakfast is my treat," Cao Yong said politely, determined not to let a playboy buy food for his juniors.
"There’s no need for that between us, Dr. Cao. Colleagues from neurosurgery are my colleagues too. Treating you all to a KFC al is no big deal. No matter how many there are, breakfast is definitely on this morning," Chang Jiawei insisted, not willing to let go of this opportunity. Treating a few more people was no big deal, but he couldn’t lose the target he’d deliberately co for in the morning.
The senior and the ntor were generous, competing to treat them. Xie Wanying thought enviously, maybe soday she could afford to be so magnanimous in front of her juniors too.
"I’m not just being polite," Cao Yong said brightly. "You helped her classmate’s family in treatnt. Her classmate is my junior, and it’s you who deserve the thanks."
Emphasizing the special nature of his relationship with her, Chang Jiawei could sense it and squinted, humming a little: "Let tell you, Cao Yong, you didn’t know that her classmate wants to beco an orthopedic doctor, did you? Her classmate will be my junior in the future, so no thanks are needed."
"Junior brothers and sisters and future juniors are not the sa," Cao Yong corrected his error.
"Do you have to pay for this?" Chang Jiawei’s expression changed, realizing the other was unyielding despite the talk.
"Yes," Cao Yong showed no sign of relenting.
"I have an idea, let’s let Yingying decide who should pay for this," Chang Jiawei, feeling his temper rise, turned around with the phone and asked her, "Yingying, who do you think should treat? I proposed it first, so it should be , right?"
Are they really so concerned about who treats whom? Xie Wanying was montarily taken aback.
"Why put her in a difficult position?" Cao Yong could hear him, and there was a strong sense of displeasure in his lowered voice.
"Cao Yong, it’s only right for her to choose. It’s like both of us inviting her for a al. Eventually, she’ll have to face this kind of decision," said Chang Jiawei, curling his lips with confidence that sooner or later Student Xie would need to face this. With a aningful curve directed at Student Xie, he added, "Yingying, when several departnts’ teachers invite you to a al, you’d better first think carefully about whose al to accept."
Teacher Chang’s sudden words left Xie Wanying feeling puzzled.
There aren’t that many teachers inviting her for als. Teacher Tan and Senior Brother Tao invited her to als when she wasn’t the only student being invited. Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Huang took care of all junior brothers and sisters in her class, not just her alone.
