Chapter 906: Chapter 908 Feeling Quite Wronged
Xiao Yifei thought to himself, you’ve already achieved so much greatness in this life, done so many enviable things, why do you still call yourself an ordinary doctor? So he said, “Mr. Hu, you’ve achieved so much in your life, how can you still call yourself an ordinary doctor?”
“I’m not as great as others say. It’s just that back then it was a series of coincidences that led to achievents that others admire. Besides, these achievents are external and can’t truly define who you are. Also, don’t envy , I think you will soon surpass . The student surpasses the master.” Hu Jingtang said, gaining even more admiration for Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei drove all the way back to the hospital, and upon returning, he didn’t forget to report to the dean. He didn’t reveal his real purpose in visiting but simply ntioned he went to see Hu Jintang and together they researched what the antidote for the virus should be.
“You shouldn’t work overti today, go ho early and rest. Your health should be the first priority.” the dean said to Xiao Yifei. He had only recently learned that Xiao Yifei hadn’t been ho for a long ti and was spending most nights at the office. Such a dedicated doctor was certainly rare to find, but working every day like that would surely take a toll on the body.
If anything were to happen to Xiao Yifei’s health, the ones who would suffer the most would be the dean and the hospital.
Xiao Yifei responded, “It’s okay, dean, I want to use this ti to hurry up and develop the viral redy; delaying even one more day could an a life lost!”
“Other people’s lives are lives, but isn’t your life a life too? As a doctor, why aren’t you taking care of your own health? While I’m glad you willingly work overti every day, your health cos first. I command you to leave work early today and go ho to rest properly. Start your research afresh tomorrow.” the dean insisted.
Xiao Yifei thought, what has the dean consud today, that he isn’t pleased with employees volunteering for overti. But he felt the dean had a point; health is the cornerstone of all work, and he too felt he should take a good break.
So he said to the dean, “Since you say so, I’ll listen and thank you for being so considerate towards your employees.”
Xiao Yifei happily drove ho as it was nearing the end of the workday. On the way, he rembered that Tang Rong was still at work, so he called her to say he had finished work and was driving over to pick her up. Tang Rong was thrilled to hear this, and once outside her office, having waited for a while, Xiao Yifei fell asleep leaning against the steering wheel.
When Tang Rong ca down, she found Xiao Yifei still asleep in the car, and only when she knocked on the car window did he suddenly wake up. Startled by the sound, he sat up from the steering wheel, realizing after a mont of grogginess that he was outside Tang Rong’s office.
Once in the car, Tang Rong asked, “Have you been this busy lately? Look at how exhausted you are. Why would you insist on picking up when you’re this worn out?” Tang Rong gently stroked his face as she spoke.
“It’s just that I haven’t seen you in so long, and since I had the ti today, I thought I’d co to pick you up. How about we eat out tonight? We haven’t cooked in ages, and I feel quite guilty for it. I know you’ve been understanding, and I’m truly grateful.” Xiao Yifei replied suddenly.
“What’s gotten into you today? Are you so tired that you’re saying such sweet things? Normally, when I ask you to say sothing nice, you take ages and don’t utter a word. But today, the sun must be rising from the west! It’s okay, we’re all adults with our own work to do, so I’ll definitely understand.” Tang Rong replied.
After being upset previously, Tang Rong regretted it, knowing deep down that Xiao Yifei’s work was genuinely busy, sotis so much so that he didn’t even have ti to eat. She had seen it firsthand at his hospital. But often, people can’t help but let their thoughts wander, especially when it involves soone they care about. If a ssage isn’t replied to in two minutes, they start questioning the other person’s love.
In her heart, Tang Rong resolved to stop overthinking. The love between two adults should maintain an independent yet connected relationship. During the tis when they’re not together, they should strive to beco stronger so that when needed, they can shield their partner from the storm, providing solace and support; that’s enough.
After dinner, when they returned ho, Xiao Yifei took a hot shower and said to Tang Rong, “Ah, it’s so comfortable at ho. I haven’t felt this relaxed in ages. Living at the hospital was like monastic life; I really wish every day could be like this.” He said, laying back on his bed.
“If you want to live like that, you need to earn well. When you beco a millionaire soday, you can live a life of leisure,” Tang Rong teased, pulling the covers back.
“Forget it, with the way I am, earning a million would take forever. Even by the ti I’m eighty, I probably won’t have saved that much,” Xiao Yifei said after calculating his salary.
“Others would give up, but I think you still have a bright future ahead. Wasn’t there a wealthy lady who wanted you as her personal doctor? You could easily earn ten thousand an hour! It’s a pity such a great opportunity was turned down. If it were , I would’ve agreed to her terms.” Tang Rong said jokingly.
“If I beca her personal doctor, wouldn’t you be jealous all the ti? I think I’d lose my life! What’s more important, money or life? My own life is the most important. Besides, I’m a doctor with lofty ideals; I won’t bow for a small gain!” Xiao Yifei said.
“You won’t bow for a handful of rice—you really think you’re Tao Yuanming, huh?” Tang Rong teased.
“Rongrong, don’t laugh, I truly believe that in my heart. As a doctor, I should fulfill my role and serve the public,” Xiao Yifei said.
Lying on his big bed, Xiao Yifei soon drifted into sleep. After watching him for a mont, Tang Rong went to her room to sleep. Before sleeping, she felt like she had sothing important to do but couldn’t rember what it was. It vaguely felt like it had sothing to do with Xiao Yifei.
After thinking for a while and getting nowhere, she fell asleep.
It wasn’t until she got up the next morning to wash up that she recalled—her dad had called a few days ago, telling her to co ho soon. Her mother recently was displeased with everyone, and their conversations never lasted beyond two sentences before argunts ensued. Her father said, “If she continues to argue like this, I won’t dare return ho.”
