Song Fanggang initially intended to accompany Beisitian to the dical team, but a last-minute eting was called. Because Zhou Biwu had given specific instructions, he had planned to decline it.
"Go ahead with your eting, Commander Song. I’m quite familiar with the dical team, we can go by ourselves," Beisitian said with a smile.
The eting wasn’t really that important, but Song Fanggang wasn’t sure if Beisitian’s words were related to so task, so he decided to agree.
He called his orderly, Captain Zhou Fa, to go along.
Beisitian wasn’t in a hurry. Walking down the road in the military area, she couldn’t help but reminisce about the past.
On the road, neat rows of soldiers marched past, with so civilian personnel also brushing by her, but no familiar faces were visible.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance to the dical team. Beisitian stood at the entrance watching the flow of people; there seed to be many more patients than before.
"Master got to know Third Brother here. I want to take so photos to show him," Tian Zhi said with a smile.
Beisitian smiled slightly, "He also t Jiali here."
Tian Lei and Luo Jiali are already married, and Luo Jiali is pregnant now.
Originally, the Luo Family opposed Luo Jiali being with Tian Lei, but later, after learning about the Tian Family’s relationship with Beisitian and Qingyu, they not only ceased their opposition but were quite supportive.
Although their intentions weren’t entirely pure, it led to the two eventually getting together.
Tian Zhi started taking photos outside and would take so inside later as well. Beisitian entered inside with Wei Zhongxun and Zhou Fa.
"Take a number, everyone. One number per person, no sharing. After getting your number, sit over there and wait to be called," the little nurse at the consultation desk instructed as she looked at the three entrants.
The little nurse was a new intern. It’s a tradition in the dical team for interns to start at this position, so the biggest officer she’s seen is Director Sun Wangcai, and she didn’t recognize Commander Song’s orderly captain.
Beisitian smiled. It used to be Taotao standing here; she wondered if Taotao was still around. Thinking about it, she asked, "Is Taotao still here?"
The little nurse couldn’t take her eyes off Beisitian and Wei Zhongyuan—they were just too attractive!
Upon hearing Beisitian’s question, the nurse was montarily stunned and replied slightly surprised, "Are you looking for Sister Taotao? She’s off today."
Beisitian shook her head with a smile, "I’m not looking for her; I’m looking for Doctor Qi."
The little nurse glanced at the third consulting room and then said, "Both doctors on duty have patients right now. You’d better take a number, and when it’s your turn, you can negotiate to switch to Doctor Qi."
Just as Zhou Fa was about to say sothing, Beisitian took the number from her hand with a smile, looked at Zhou Fa, and said, "Let’s wait."
She found this quite amusing, wondering who would call her number later. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be the chatterbox, Er Zhang.
There weren’t many people waiting because during the day, there are usually more doctors on duty. For now, they’re busy, but it usually quiets down after a while.
There were five people ahead of Beisitian, and since so of them needed tests, it quickly beca her turn.
Her number was called by the third consulting room. Since she had a surgery number, and there weren’t many surgeons there, it ant it would likely be Qi Xiu Hui and Shen Junping inside.
Sure enough, upon entering, Shen Junping was looking at a patient’s chest X-ray, twisted around with his back to her, so he didn’t notice her coming in.
Qi Xiu Hui was the one who called her number, but she was busy writing sothing, just like her old habit of trying to finish her paperwork before the next patient ca in.
"What’s the discomfort?" Qi Xiu Hui asked, writing rapidly without lifting her head.
Beisitian smiled at the familiar sight, knowing it was typical for her to only look up after the patient stated their discomfort.
"I’m feeling uneasy in my heart," Beisitian said.
Qi Xiu Hui’s pen noticeably paused, uneasy in the heart?
"Maybe you should have a good cry," Qi Xiu Hui replied instinctively, then raised her head and imdiately widened her eyes.
Qi Xiu Hui hadn’t expected Beisitian to be there. The sudden appearance after six or seven years left her montarily frozen.
Beisitian hadn’t anticipated such a response from Qi Xiu Hui. Seeing her expression, she realized it was instinctive rather than intentional humor, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Dr. Qi, don’t you worry I’ll file a complaint about how you answer patients’ questions?" Beisitian joked.
Hearing this, Shen Junping ca to his senses and turned to see who might complain. One look and he was also stunned into stillness.
"What? Don’t recognize ?" Beisitian asked with a smile.
Qi Xiu Hui placed both hands on the table, stood up rapidly, and stamred, "You, you, you... you’re... Xiao Bei!"
Shen Junping also ca to his senses, put down the film he was holding, stood up, and upon confirming it was really Beisitian, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.
"It’s truly Xiao Bei, you’re back?!" Shen Junping laughed heartily.
"Sister Qi, Brother Shen, long ti no see," Beisitian said with a smile.
That simple ’long ti no see’ carried a multitude of emotions. This place marked the beginning of her understanding of the world.
Shen Junping laughed heartily, "Indeed, it has been a long ti. We never expected you’d return; we thought we’d never see you again this lifeti!"
Emotion welled in Qi Xiu Hui’s eyes. If not for Beisitian back then, her relations at the dical team wouldn’t have improved so much. Beisitian’s subtle influence gradually made her more outgoing, no longer ostracized by colleagues, and most importantly, the chatterbox, Er Zhang, didn’t dare provoke her anymore.
Qi Xiu Hui was truly delighted, seeing Beisitian left her speechless. She circled the table and reached out to embrace her.
Beisitian smiled knowingly, gently returning the hug to Qi Xiu Hui.
"Look at how emotional I am," Qi Xiu Hui said, a bit embarrassed after letting go of Beisitian.
Shen Junping followed with a laugh, then asked, "Xiao Bei, why did you suddenly co back? Could it be a work transfer?"
They had heard a big leader was visiting the troops but never connected this leader with Beisitian. Mainly, unless it was for a dical examination, the people coming really had little to do with the dical team; they didn’t need to put on any performances.
Before Beisitian could respond, a loud voice filled the room.
"Is it really Xiao Bei back?! My goodness, it truly is you, Xiao Bei!" Ma Xiuli appeared at the third consulting room’s door, just like she used to.
"Sister Xiuli," Beisitian greeted with a smile.
Ma Xiuli laughed broadly, stepping forward to hug Beisitian, "I’m so glad to see you again! You’ve beco a mom too, right? My child is already five!"
Beisitian smiled subtly. Later on, she heard that Ma Xiuli ended up with Shen Junping, not letting his long wait be in vain.
