Before Zheng Ren walked out of the corridor, he saw Xie Yiren.
“Uh…” Zheng Ren was very busy today and forgot to call Xie Yiren.
“I finally found you.” Xie Yiren smiled. “I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to pick up the phone when you were on house call, so I went straight to the emergency department. Su Yun told me that you came back to talk to Teacher Gao about the film so I decided to look for you now.”
Zheng Ren looked at the food box in Xie Yiren’s hand and knew that she was here to deliver food to him.
A warm feeling surged in his heart.
“Let’s go. You must have forgotten to eat again. Don’t even think of lying to me.” Xie Yiren ran toward Zheng Ren. When she passed by Zheng Ren, she bumped his arm with her shoulder and whispered that to him with a smile.
Xie Yiren tried her best to keep her voice low and quickly walked forward.
Zheng Ren knew that this was because the little girl was shy. Coincidentally, she was not tonight’s night shift nurse so she wanted to avoid everyone.
Zheng Ren followed behind Xie Yiren. Looking at her graceful figure and footsteps, he was already drunk in his heart. The hard work and tiredness of the day dissipated. There was only sweetness surging in his heart.
After taking two steps, Gao Shaojie and Wang Qiang had emerged out from the office.
Wang Qiang held Gao Shaojie in one hand and a laptop in the other.
He was surprised to see Zheng Ren come back. This was…
However, they were all adults. Everyone knew what was going on.
Chief Zheng was really lucky. He was busy at the hospital every day. Not only was his girlfriend young and beautiful, but she was also considerate enough to send food to him.
Under normal circumstances, if the Chief Resident was single, he would not be able to find a boyfriend or girlfriend within the first year.
Usually even if they were friends, they would probably break up.
But just looking at Chief Zheng…
When Zheng Ren saw Gao Shaojie, he did not have the domineering air from earlier. In fact, he was a little embarrassed.
Gao Shaojie raised his hand and waved. He did not say anything and brushed past Zheng Ren.
It was only then that Zheng Ren let out a sigh of relief. His impression of Gao Shaojie became better.
This person knew his limits. He knew when to advance and to retreat. Not bad.
When he arrived at the duty room with Xie Yi Ren, the Little Yiren had already opened the food box and brought out the dishes one by one.
“Su Yun said he’s eaten so I have two portions,” Xie Yi Ren said. “You don’t usually like to eat a lot of things so I just made a bit of everything.”
Xie Yi Ren brought two hot dishes. One was garlic-flavored fish that she had taken small bites of, and the other was the shredded potato with chili peppers. There were also two small pickles that were light and delicious.
Zheng Ren looked at Xie Yiren and smiled. The mouthful of food and rice was delicious.
He was on the emergency shift at the hospital. If he ate too slowly, it would be like Zheng Ren’s lunch situation. He would eat it slowly until it was too cold to eat.
After he finished eating, Zheng Ren wanted to help Xie Yiren clean up the dishes but she stopped him.
“Take some time to sleep tonight. I think there will be another surgery tomorrow?”
“Yes, there will be a TIPS surgery tomorrow.”
“I heard from my classmate that TIPS surgery is very difficult.” Xie Yiren cleaned up the dishes quickly with a charming smile. “You’re really capable. I see that TIPS surgery is not that difficult for you.”
“It’s not too bad.” Zheng Ren was even happier now than receiving 30,000 skill points when he heard Xie Yiren’s praise. “The surgery tomorrow will be even more flawless!”
Like a child who wanted praise, Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren went back and forth.
Zheng Ren had never mentioned these words in front of others. Was there a need for others to praise him if he performed the surgery well?
However, in front of Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren had become a different person.
“That’s amazing. I knew you were the best.” After Xie Yiren finished cleaning up the dishes and grabbed the food box, she said, “Take some time to rest early tonight. Sleep as much as you can. I’ll pray to the night shift gods that tonight will be peaceful. I’ll sleep until dawn.”
On duty… Zheng Ren had never been so reluctant to be on duty.
It would be great if he could go shopping, watch movies, or even go home and chat with the Little Yiren.
“By the way, Zheng Ren, my parents have already returned to China,” Xie Yiren said casually.
However, Zheng Ren could already see red blush creeping up her fair neck through the gaps in her long black hair.
Zheng Ren’s observation left him speechless. He was immediately struck by Xie Yiren’s words and was dumbstruck.
Xie Yiren’s parents were coming back?
Oh my God, what should he do?
Zheng Ren’s mind went blank instantly before his gears started grinding at a high velocity.
However, his skill points were not focused on interpersonal relationships at all. It was a waste of time to think about it.
In the end, Zheng Ren decided to ask Su Yun about this first and foremost.
“Well… They said that they want to travel around the country again and take a look around. They might be back in a few months’ time.” Xie Yiren picked up the food box. Her voice was so low that it was almost hard to hear her.
Uh… There were still a few months left. It seemed like Zheng Ren’s death sentence had been suspended for the time being as he instantly calmed down.
The two of them walked out of the on-duty room side by side, remaining silent the entire way.
Zheng Ren was filled with worries. No matter how much he delayed, Xie Yiren’s parents would return sooner or later. Even a young son-in-law like him would have to…
Forget it, he just needed to ask Su Yun.
Zheng Ren steadied his mind and sent Xie Yiren off to her car before returning to the emergency department.
The emergency department was still very busy. It was the evening rush hour.
There were all kinds of patients who had drunk too much and were having their stomachs pumped.
Zheng Ren walked to the entrance of the internal medicine consultation room. When he saw that there were three to four young ladies sitting inside, he was stunned.
When Su Yun saw that Zheng Ren had returned, he smiled helplessly and said, “Boss, you’re back?”
“This is…”
“My classmate is sick. She’s on an IV drip. Acute gastroenteritis. They’re waiting for me to have some free time to ask about her condition,” Su Yun said.
It was the same all over again.
In the past, Zheng Ren had lots of complaints about Su Yun’s handsomeness.
All the girls in the world seemed to appreciate his looks. Would ordinary men even have a chance?
But when he met Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren’s worldview changed.
The rich fragrance of garlic-flavored fish still lingered at the tip of his nose.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Ren snickered in his heart. His worry about Xie Yi’s parents returning was dissipating.
“Go take a look. I’ll handle this,” Zheng Ren said.
Su Yun called out to the young-looking women. From the looks of it, they were probably freshmen or sophomores.
Sitting in the consultation room was like being in another world.
Patients arrived one after another. Although he had the System’s help, Zheng Ren was still very busy.
It was not until 10 o’clock in the evening that the patients finished their treatments one after another.
Zheng Ren did not even drink a mouthful of water for five to six hours. His throat was parched.
Seeing that there were no new patients waiting outside for treatment, Zheng Ren picked up his cell phone and called Su Yun, asking him to come down and bring a bottle of water for him.
Soon, Su Yun appeared at the emergency department.
A bottle of mineral water was tossed over. Su Yun asked with a smile, “Boss, you’re looking for me so late. Something important must have happened.”
“Alright, let’s go. I’m going to have a cigarette while telling you the details,” Zheng Ren said to the surgeon. He took care of Su Yun for a few minutes before they left through the side exit.
