Xiao Yifei gently patted Tang Rong’s hand and said, "Go wash your hands first, they’re full of bacteria and very dirty. You wash your hands, I’ll prepare dinner."
The two of them started sitting at the dining table to eat.
"Mm~ So delicious, I didn’t expect your cooking to be so tasty, Doctor Xiao. From now on, I’ll leave the kitchen duties all to you," Tang Rong praised.
"I’ll accept your praise. It’s rare to get a sincere complint from you. As long as you like it, I’ll cook for you every day," Xiao Yifei replied.
Tang Rong found sothing unusual about Xiao Yifei today. She wondered why he suddenly was so nice to her, so she asked, "I still find it a bit strange. Why are you being so good to ?"
"What’s so strange about it? You’re my girlfriend, of course, I have to cherish you. Besides, I haven’t seen you for two days, and you won’t even give a hug. Instead, you’re here suspecting my genuine intentions," Xiao Yifei said with a hint of sulkiness to Tang Rong.
Tang Rong stood up from her chair, walked over to Xiao Yifei, and kissed him on the lips. Xiao Yifei was a bit stiff at first, but soon the two of them were passionately kissing at the dining table.
Xiao Yifei lifted Tang Rong onto his lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "My little sweetheart, I’m going to *kill* you."
Tang Rong’s face turned crimson from Xiao Yifei’s sudden words, leaving her a bit embarrassed. So she playfully said, "I’m really hungry, can we eat first?"
Halfway through the al, Shi Miaomiao returned. Xiao Yifei felt like he hadn’t seen Shi Miaomiao for a long ti, and he felt there was sothing different about her, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
"Miaomiao, co and taste the braised chicken I made. Your sister Rong really can’t stop praising it!" Xiao Yifei began to act a bit boastful.
"Wait a mont, I’ll co right over after putting down my things." Shi Miaomiao was sowhat excited to hear that Xiao Yifei had cooked, as she had never tasted his food before!
The three of them sat at the dining table. Honestly, it had been a long ti since they’d eaten together like this. Ever since Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong got together, Shi Miaomiao rarely dined with them at ho. She often felt awkward, like the third wheel between these two lovebirds, even though they both treated her like a cherished younger sister.
"Brother Xiao, you’re amazing! Handso, great at work, and your cooking is delicious. Sister Rong, you’re truly blessed," Shi Miaomiao said enviously after eating a piece of at.
"What’s the use of envying ? You should hurry and find a boyfriend of your own. Isn’t there anyone at your large company that you fancy, or who fancies you?" Tang Rong asked Shi Miaomiao.
"I haven’t found anyone like Brother Xiao at my company yet. Brother Xiao, are there any handso guys in your hospital? Introduce them to !" Shi Miaomiao wasn’t very anxious about finding a boyfriend since her work kept her busy, leaving no extra ti for a relationship. But seeing Tang Rong and Xiao Yifei constantly in love made her feel a bit restless.
"In our hospital, aside from , the handso ones are mostly the type to be your dad’s age. Are you interested in that?" Xiao Yifei teased Shi Miaomiao.
"Who would want that? Brother Xiao, I guess I can’t rely on you. I won’t rush to find a boyfriend; I’ll focus on work and make big money first."
After dinner, the three of them returned to their own rooms. After a while, Xiao Yifei quietly ca out of his bedroom and went to Tang Rong’s room, feeling like he was sneaking around for a tryst.
Tang Rong was already on the bed, browsing shows on her phone. She put it away when she saw Xiao Yifei co in.
"How have you been these past two days? How’s your hotown?" Tang Rong asked.
"Pretty good. The changes in Huaxia’s cities are really drastic. It’s only been two years, and I hardly recognized many places when I went back, with so much demolition and construction going on."
"I didn’t realize ti had passed so quickly, it’s been two years. Visiting grandpa this ti didn’t feel as sad as before. Ti truly heals all wounds," Xiao Yifei said as he lifted the blanket and snuggled under it, cuddling Tang Rong.
Xiao Yifei had only taken a two-day leave, and upon returning to work, he bumped into Zheng Qiang. Zheng Qiang excitedly said, "Brother Xiao, you know, while you were away these past two days, every ti a patient registered, they first asked if Doctor Xiao Yifei was in. When they heard you weren’t, many just left."
"The number of patients visiting the hospital decreased significantly in those two days. I estimate you’ll be so busy today that there won’t be ti for even a sip of water."
"It can’t be that exaggerated, I was hoping to leave early," Xiao Yifei replied, looking incredulous.
Sure enough, Zheng Qiang wasn’t exaggerating at all. As soon as Xiao Yifei arrived at the office, before he could even warm his seat, the first patient had already arrived, forcing Xiao Yifei to give his full attention.
In truth, the impact of publicity was significant. After he ca to this city, he beca well-known among the ordinary folk thanks to the dical television program he did. Moreover, the hospital director frequently ntioned him at important etings, spreading his reputation for excellent dical skills.
To be honest, there are quite a few skilled doctors in this hospital. Although they might be slightly less skilled than Xiao Yifei, apart from so exceedingly rare and complex cases, the other doctors are more than capable of handling regular patients.
But since Xiao Yifei has such a good reputation, patients hoping for the best treatnt naturally seek out the best doctor. So Xiao Yifei found no effective way to change this phenonon.
Sun Xingyao had already made peace with Xiao Yifei earlier, but now seeing Xiao Yifei’s reputation grow every day, he still felt a twinge of jealousy. After all, as a dignified departnt head, his face mattered. But now it felt like the whole Chinese dicine departnt belonged solely to Xiao Yifei. Patients looked for him, and the hospital staff also turned to him for matters, making it seem as if the departnt head no longer existed.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, during Xiao Yifei’s busiest ti, Zheng Peng appeared.
"Doctor Xiao, I feel the illness I had last ti hasn’t completely healed. Could you check it again?" Zheng Peng pleaded.
Xiao Yifei found it strange, as the illness had been cured last ti. He wondered if Zheng Peng ca just to stir things up, and also questioned how he could freely enter the hospital when he was no longer a doctor there!
Thus Xiao Yifei said, "I’m very busy right now, I’ll check it for you when I have ti!"
Zheng Peng wasn’t pleased hearing this. Despite witnessing Xiao Yifei being truly busy, with a long queue of patients seeking treatnt, he felt Xiao Yifei was being too unsympathetic, considering they used to work in the sa hospital and his brother has such a good relationship with Xiao.
Zheng Peng believed Xiao Yifei was intentionally avoiding treating him, still bearing a grudge for past events.
