Protagonist:
Fang Ziye
Fang Ziye's luck was good enough; the regrets he had accumulated over this half of his life were not many.
Huang Kai was the Big Brother Fang Ziye met during his rural rotation in Enshi to build his resume; Mi Qi was the "Big Brother" Fang Ziye met during his time as Chief Resident!
When Huang Kai was injured, Fang Ziye was merely a small fry, powerless to do anything about it, even ignorant.
Therefore, after Fang Ziye later developed the functional reconstruction technique, he performed functional reconstruction surgery on Huang Kai as a form of compensation.
The current Huang Kai has recovered well; he boldly walked out of Enshi City Central Hospital, now has his own foothold, and has begun serving as Lead Surgeon.
As for Associate Professor Mi Qi, during his own surgery, Fang Ziye temporarily developed "Motor-Sensory Anesthesia Separation" with Lan Tianluo and the others, allowing Mi Qi to achieve "interaction" with the Lead Surgeon during the operation; he is currently recovering well!
Although neither of them can recover to their peak level, they have both found their own direction now.
The tragedies that have already occurred cannot be reversed; being able to make up for them a little means they no longer count as regrets.
These two Big Brothers count as "friends" and "patients" with special significance in Fang Ziye's life!
Li Yuanpei and the others actually managed to think of presenting the "gift" to Fang Ziye in such a form; this made Fang Ziye feel an extreme warmth.
Furthermore, Luo Tingzhu also "participated" in Mi Qi's anesthesia.
Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu silently stared at the big screen; after nearly three minutes passed, the screen slowly dimmed.
Below the stage, many people were whispering privately, obviously introducing the "existence" of these two people...
Huang Kai and Mi Qi are both extremely, extremely ordinary people; their resumes are so ordinary that non-friends wouldn't know what had happened to them.
Even if that was a tragedy.
Even if one knows such a thing happened, one wouldn't know who the protagonist is.
Everyone is more concerned with the event itself, rather than the people within the event.
"Senior Brother Li, thank you for the special gift you prepared; Tingzhu and I both feel very."
Fang Ziye's tone paused slightly, and only then did he say: "Very moved, right? Actually, I didn't do many things for these people; I just did my utmost under the circumstances at the time."
"If I look back now, were I to encounter such things again, I could do even better; so I should thank them for accompanying my growth and contributing accumulated material for future patients."
"Along this path I've walked, I've encountered many benefactors..."
"The relatives, friends, teachers, seniors, and classmates present today are actually all benefactors in my life; you are certainly the people I would think to inform the first time something good happens to me."
"You are also certainly the people I would think to confide in when something bad happens."
"Once again, thank you everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Tingzhu's and my wedding; I fear the hospitality may be lacking, and it feels rather abrupt."
Li Yuanpei continued: "The wedding ceremony has proceeded to this point and is now formally and perfectly complete; according to traditional custom, I can now formally announce."
"Mr. Fang Ziye and Miss Luo Tingzhu, formally witnessed by relatives, friends, and both sets of parents, have been happily united in marriage, becoming a formal husband and wife, a legal couple."
"As a classmate, I wish you a harmonious union until old age, early birth of a precious son, and a lifetime of happiness."
"Next, Professor Fang, your absolute home turf has arrived; hurry up and prepare to toast, we can't wait to drink your wedding wine!" Li Yuanpei quickly peeled away the emotional segment.
If the groom doesn't get drunk at the wedding, every single friend is guilty!!!
In Eastern Han weddings, there is the custom of toasting, and after finishing the toasts, one still needs to sit at the friends' tables and continue accepting the brothers' "deep affection"!
This day's deep affection is different from the "bachelor party" the night before yesterday.
Fang Ziye accompanied Luo Tingzhu to change into toasting attire, and then they made the rounds table by table to toast.
The first stop for the two of them was not a beeline for the Academicians' table, but rather heading toward the table where Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong sat.
"Master, today is the great joyous day for Tingzhu and me; we actually must thank you very much, for it was you who gave us the opportunity to meet, which counts as being half a matchmaker..." Fang Ziye said.
Deng Yong's mood was excellent at this moment; he stood up: "Opportunity is opportunity, fate is fate; you two fell in love freely, I didn't arrange any mandarin duck pairings."
"However, my two students becoming a married couple is also a rather meaningful thing; I wish you mutual support and a harmonious union until old age."
"Live your days well." Deng Yong's words were rather sincere, not a long-winded ramble.
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Teacher." Luo Tingzhu followed along and said.
After that, the two walked toward Yuan Weihong's position.
This time, Fang Ziye took a deep breath, put down his wine glass, bowed deeply before Yuan Weihong, and then said: "Master, today I have started a family."
Fang Ziye's sentiment toward Yuan Weihong was fundamentally different from his sentiment toward Deng Yong; this had been destined from the moment he entered Zhongnan Hospital, destined from Yuan Weihong's special treatment of Fang Ziye.
Yuan Weihong wasn't actually that old; at this moment he was also quite moved, nodding: "Starting a family is good; bridal chamber, wedding candles, and passing the imperial exams — this life's examinations can be considered perfectly complete."
Yuan Weihong didn't say much more; he understood the meaning of Fang Ziye's deliberate bow.
Everything remained in the silence.
That article was a secret unique to him and Fang Ziye; no third person would know, not even a fifth pair of ears could hear it.
In this lifetime, neither of them would ever mention it again; even if this matter would no longer affect Fang Ziye in the slightest, it could never be mentioned again.
After one round of toasting, Fang Ziye became slightly muddled!
Mainly because Fang Ziye had encountered too many benefactors; there were too many people he needed to toast sincerely, so after one round, even if each person only sipped a little, letting him drink a small half-ounce, it still amounted to over a catty.
Seeing Fang Ziye looking drunk without being forced, Li Yuanpei and the others didn't intend to actually turn Fang Ziye into meat paste; they just symbolically had him sit down and hurriedly eat something.
Originally Fang Ziye was on an empty stomach; having drunk this much alcohol, if he ended up with stomach bleeding, that would be bad.
Afternoon, three o'clock.
The wedding venue had already become empty and deserted, leaving only Fang Ziye, Luo Tingzhu, Fang Nan and his wife, Luo Pan, Ruan Qiutao, Lan Tianluo, and a few others.
Liang Xia was a bit nervous at this moment, speaking rather non-standard Mandarin: "In-laws, mother-in-law, Xiao Lan, are you tired? Want to go rest for a bit first?"
Fang Ziye still hadn't completely lost his divine sense at this moment; knowing that Luo Pan and Ruan Qiutao had a lot they wanted to say right now, he said: "Dad, Mom, you go settle the bill first, we'll come down in a bit..."
"We'll go back together later to chat."
Fang Nan also noticed the situation seemed a bit off, so he said: "Go go go, let's go settle the bill."
Fang Nan didn't know the specifics, but he seemed to have two fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and the two sides didn't seem hostile — quite intriguing.
After Fang Nan and his wife left, Ruan Qiutao looked at Luo Tingzhu and said: "Tingzhu, you've finally grown up, and finally started a family. Mom is really happy."
Lan Tianluo supported Fang Ziye to one side at this moment.
Luo Tingzhu couldn't hold her liquor to begin with; even though she only drank a glass of beer at the end, she was a bit muddled now.
In her slightly drunk state, Luo Tingzhu's emotions couldn't quite hold, and she just choked out: "Mom... Dad..."
"The reason your dad and mom did this was just to let you grow up."
"Back then, someone kept coming after me, kept coming after me, I had no way out. I was afraid they'd hurt you, hurt him again, and hurt him too." Ruan Qiutao spoke very subtly.
Luo Tingzhu actually understood some things, but not the specific details.
But whatever could make her parents make the decisive choice to divorce was definitely no small matter.
Although Luo Tingzhu often wondered why no one could protect them properly, some things you can't dig into too many whys.
Running into it is just bad luck!
Even planes can crash, let alone other situations?
This kind of thing can't be dug into, responsibility is hard to assign, who would you question?
At least now, a family of four are all still alive and well — that definitely means someone exerted effort, even someone sacrificed for it.
This kind of thing could never be exposed.
There are many accidental things — for instance, weird accidents like the Laiyang Incident can even happen...
"Mom, stop talking. I was little before, so I didn't understand."
"I had a lot of misunderstandings about you." Luo Tingzhu said softly: "But I'm grown up now, I'm doing fine."
Luo Pan walked with slightly unsteady steps to stand before Ruan Qiutao, stopping a little over a meter away from her.
His eyes moved over Ruan Qiutao; the motion of wanting to reach out and touch her froze stiff.
A thousand words condensed into one sentence: "I'm doing pretty well now too. You take care of yourself too. I'm sorry to you! My mother felt I wronged you until the day she died."
Ruan Qiutao said: "Body already pledged to country, how to pledge to family?"
"Just a pity our era needed someone to pay the price; otherwise we probably wouldn't have so many regrets."
"Actually it's pretty good now. I'm doing better than you — I have three kids, all pretty sensible, all very excellent." Ruan Qiutao said on her own initiative. Luo Pan nodded: "When are you heading back?"
"Tomorrow morning. Still have work over there." Ruan Qiutao still had a home of her own.
If she saw Lan Tianluo start a family again, all her thoughts could only go to that other home.
Her current husband is pretty good too; he gave her a complete home.
The initial choice was her own doing; since she admired Luo Pan's character and talent, she had to accept the result that Luo Pan was too excellent to stay with her to the end.
"I'm already retired; I'll stay here a while longer." Luo Pan said.
"That's good. You should spend more time with them. The time you've spent with them is actually not long. Even less than me."
"Then I'll go. Liu Xia and Gao Bo are still waiting outside for me. We'll go to Tingzhu's place later and chat a bit." Ruan Qiutao bid farewell to Luo Pan.
After this farewell, the next farewell — this lifetime probably won't see each other again, or hardly ever.
Ruan Qiutao couldn't let down her current family.
Luo Pan also couldn't let down his current wife — this is their ending. Can't say it's good, can't say it's bad.
Can only say there's regret.
Seeing Ruan Qiutao off, Lan Tianluo took the initiative to support Luo Pan, then left the wedding venue with Fang Ziye, Luo Tingzhu, and the others.
No matter how grand or lively the wedding venue, it always returns to calm in the end.
Everyone inside will each enter their own lives, play their own roles, become the ordinary people they were before attending the wedding.
It's just that this opportunity brought everyone together, so they possessed liveliness and bustle...
In the car, Luo Tingzhu asked: "Dad, do you know what happened?"
"Still can't say even a little now?"
Hearing this, Luo Pan's eyes reddened slightly: "I don't know... I don't know the details either."
Luo Tingzhu's stepmother, Aunt Min Limin, also shook her head: "This matter — aside from Ms. Ruan Qiutao, probably only a few people can concretely know the details."
"Your dad and I went to ask later. The surveillance equipment back then wasn't too comprehensive. We only know Ms. Ruan Qiutao brought Lan Tianluo and took a very long time to get from Yucheng to Henan Province."
"She handed Lan Tianluo to your father, then left alone."
Min Limin thought a moment, then continued: "Also according to some other comrades' accounts, it's said that back then, for Ms. Ruan Qiutao to safely reach Henan Province, she revealed a little bit of information she shouldn't have, and only then got away."
"Not long after, your maternal grandfather and uncle passed away one after another."
Lan Tianluo's driving foot stomped down hard.
Fang Ziye sat in the passenger seat, eyes narrowing slightly.
Ruan Qiutao was just an ordinary person; on the contrary, Luo Tingzhu's paternal grandparents were not ordinary people. If Luo Tingzhu's grandmother met with an accident, it would definitely be investigated to the bottom.
So they didn't dare act recklessly.
However, Ruan Qiutao's parents were just ordinary people. Even if an accident happened, it wouldn't cause a huge uproar; they'd just think it was an accident.
Luo Pan didn't speak, and Luo Tingzhu didn't keep asking.
This matter ultimately ends here!
Luo Tingzhu and Fang Ziye and the others might not understand; even Min Limin, who has no biological children, might not understand. But Luo Pan right now truly knows the "reason"!
Ruan Qiutao made her choice; she chose her own child.
Therefore, she could no longer continue being with Luo Pan; otherwise, she would be unworthy of the bloodline flowing in her veins.
This was a choice that had to be made.
Ruan Qiutao had no choice...
In the evening, upon seeing Aunt Ruan Qiutao again, she was smiling radiantly, clever and quick-witted; whether conversing with Liang Xia or talking with Min Limin, she handled herself with ease.
She introduced her daughter and Liu Gaobo to Fang Ziye and the others with a smile.
Liu Gaobo was a rather honest and simple man, a man of few words.
Liu Xia didn't understand much of anything; she only felt she had gained two half-siblings, and now even a "cheap brother-in-law"!
Aside from that, she just ate and kept everyone company listening.
Fang Ziye had sobered up slightly, and personally made two pots of tea with Luo Tingzhu again, bringing them over.
Ruan Qiutao said: "Little Fang, when you make tea you should make a few more cups; how can two cups be enough?"
"Everyone's been chatting this long and gotten thirsty too..."
Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu both listened to the advice readily.
By eleven at night, Ruan Qiutao, Liu Gaobo, and the three of them said their goodbyes and went to the hotel; they would take the high-speed rail back to Sha City early tomorrow morning.
Fang Ziye offered: "Mom, Uncle Liu, tomorrow Tingzhu and I will see you off."
"Alright... you two rest early too; you must be quite tired from handling the wedding these past few days." Ruan Qiutao nodded in agreement, then linked arms with Liu Gaobo and pulled Liu Xia into the elevator.
Today it was Lan Tianluo seeing her back to the hotel; Lan Tianluo hadn't drunk any alcohol.
Love is beautiful; enjoying love is like bathing in a spring breeze, but not all beautiful love has a beautiful outcome; on the contrary, to enjoy some spring breezes, one must pay a price.
Better to be a dog in peaceful times than a human in chaotic times.
The next day, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu had only just seen Ruan Qiutao back to Luo Tingzhu's house when Fang Ziye's phone rang.
It was from the New Campus Dean Liao Jiayuan: "Professor Fang, happy newlywed! May I ask when Professor Fang can return to work?"
"Professor Fang, you don't know; during your half-month leave, my phone has been blown up, and my door nearly knocked down."
Fang Ziye had barely sat down, hadn't even had time to take a sip of water: "Dean Liao, I only finished the wedding yesterday, and it's still during my annual leave period."
Liao Jiayuan's tone was exceptionally helpless: "I know, Professor Fang."
"But this annual leave of yours has been a bit long, after all; marriage leave can't be this long either. In others' mouths, it has indeed invited gossip."
"Our unit certainly hopes Professor Fang rests well, but the patients won't have it..."
Luo Tingzhu, listening to the speakerphone, bared fangs and brandished claws, waving her little fist wanting to hit someone.
The wedding was only finished yesterday, and today Fang Ziye is being urged back to work.
Neither had planned to travel for vacation; they just wanted to wander around Han City, conveniently work on the research project, and weren't in full vacation mode, yet still got urged...
Fang Ziye also understood Liao Jiayuan's helplessness.
The current marriage leave system and annual leave system both have red-headed documents.
Liao Jiayuan isn't urging Fang Ziye to return to work immediately; today's Fang Ziye is the New Hospital Area Orthopedics Director, guarding one side, and naturally cannot be as free as before.
"Dean Liao, then alright, at least wait until I finish this week. The Monday after next, April 21st, I'll return to work."
"Our unit's annual leave regulation is half a month, marriage leave three days; excluding weekends and holidays, I still have one week of annual leave. This can't be muddled." Fang Ziye said.
Annual leave doesn't count weekends; it's a proper fifteen days; marriage leave should also be three workdays.
"Okay okay, Professor Fang, as long as you agree."
"This gives me an account to give on my end too; it's fine if you come a few days later next week."
"But if you don't come for a month, the pressure on my end is indeed too great; you have to give a vent."
"After all, Professor Fang, you are irreplaceable."
"As for annual leave, how is it only seven days? It's ten workdays." Dean Liao Jiayuan said.
"Thank you, Dean Liao; then I'll save the rest for next time." Fang Ziye sighed lightly.
Being able to earn three more days of annual leave was also a benefit he fought for himself.
After hanging up, Fang Ziye looked at Luo Tingzhu, flipped his hand: "Sigh, Tingzhu, we can only go sightseeing nearby; can't even enjoy a one-week short vacation."
Luo Tingzhu said: "Expected, Senior Brother; who told you to be too excellent?"
"The four words 'irreplaceable' — the extent to which you are needed is indeed too high."
The call had just ended when another call came in.
From Liao Jia; upon connecting, Liao Jia roared: "Ziye, come quickly, the gift is late but has arrived, your guess was right!" (Chapter End)
