Chapter 1910: 1843 A Sad Story (Monthly Ticket 31500 Bonus ×63)

They had agreed on tomorrow's surgery, Zheng Ren and Su Yun came out of Director Kong's office.

"I'll go take a look at Zhou Litao, are you coming?" Su Yun asked.

"What for?"

"Let's see if he's got a girlfriend." Su Yun said: "He's so clueless, do you remember last time he said he'd confess his love publicly?"

Zheng Ren thought, and indeed it was quite worrying.

After being the Inpatient Chief for a long time, the whole person becomes abnormal. Being busy at the hospital every day, basically detached from normal life, it takes a while to adapt to society.

"You're grinning, it's disgusting to look at." Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, "Let's go together; this lesson was originally prepared for you to listen to."

"Uh... no need." Zheng Ren spread his hands.

"You saved the galaxy, maybe even the whole universe. That's your luck; do you believe you'll keep being lucky?" Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren felt his luck could keep going, as long as the Big Pig Trotter doesn't crash.

"One time is enough." Zheng Ren smiled: "With Yi Ren around, I don't want anything else. What about you, why have you been so irritable lately?"

"Really?" Su Yun blew a breath, her black hair fluttering in front of her forehead.

"Don't you remember? You've lost your temper during the two recent surgeries." Zheng Ren counted on his fingers: "At the International Hospital, when the big shot dropped dead from heart issues we went to save that case. Also, after we just finished the autopsy, we came to the emergency department to retrieve a pulmonary artery embolism, and you smashed the Head of Vascular Department of Medical University Affiliated Hospital with a pair of forceps."

"Do you still remember what he looks like?" Su Yun habitually tried to steer the conversation back to her area of expertise.

"I see everyone as a mosaic, you know that." Zheng Ren laughed: "Tell me, why has your temper been so explosive lately? I remember when you were in Hai Cheng you never yelled at Director Sun."

"No, you're mistaken." Su Yun walked ahead with a blank expression.

Zheng Ren chuckled inwardly, retorting with a sentence was enough; more would be pointless.

He probably got humiliated by Chang Yue, went on stage looking for a chance to vent his anger on someone.

Zheng Ren wasn't sure before, but after probing today, seeing Su Yun change the subject, he was certain that was the case.

After greeting Liu Zewei in the office, Zheng Ren followed Su Yun to the Emergency Department.

At noon, the Emergency Department wasn't very busy. Sunlight filtered through the green willows, casting dappled, swaying shadows, a rare feeling of ease.

"Where's Manager Zhou?" Su Yun asked a nurse.

"Yun Ge'er, you haven't been here in a few days." The nurse greeted enthusiastically, "What have you been busy with?"

Zheng Ren looked innocently at Su Yun and the little nurse chatting, feeling a bit bored.

He wandered east and west, only a few people were waiting on this side of the Emergency Department, and none were serious cases.

Zheng Ren went room by room and saw Zhou Litao hiding in his duty room, eating.

"Manager Zhou, having lunch?" Zheng Ren then realized he hadn't eaten yet.

"Huh, have you eaten, Boss Zheng?" Zhou Litao asked casually.

"No, I came over after watching two videos off-duty." Zheng Ren smiled: "You eat yours."

"Shall I order something for you? What would you like?"

"Not hungry."

"Yeah, you don't know how stingy my boss is; after work he doesn't even give me a snack." Su Yun had caught up and said from behind.

"The money's all with you." Zheng Ren said.

"That money is useful, for buying prosthetics, and we need to set aside a sum in case you make a surgical error, as a fund for lawsuit compensation." Su Yun said, "Can we just spend it freely? If something big happens and we can't come up with the money, we'll be screwed."

"Surgical error? You're overthinking." Zheng Ren smiled and said.

"I know your skills are awesome, you think it's probably fine. But can you guarantee nobody wants to sabotage you?" Su Yun asked.

Zheng Ren thought, the chance of such a thing happening seems not high either. Su Yun is overthinking; if this continues, the mental burden will be too heavy and a person will become extreme.

People, it's better to be sunny, but not too dark.

"Old Zhou, you said you wanted to ask me something, what happened?" Su Yun stopped wasting words with Zheng Ren and instead looked interestedly at Zhou Litao and asked.

Zhou Litao felt a bit embarrassed and awkward, he gave a shy glance and quickly shut the door.

After a moment, Zhou Litao asked: "Yun Ge'er, it's like this."

"Go on."

"When I was in my first year of graduate school, the school organized an activity and I met a junior female student."

"Yo ho, impressive, Manager Zhou! You even learned the old bull eating tender grass."

"Cut it out, Yun Ge'er." Zhou Litao waved his hands repeatedly. Zheng Ren saw he looked both puzzled and curious.

"Then what?" Su Yun, seeing Zhou Litao stay silent, took the initiative to ask.

"Uh... afterwards it was really strange, you know, Yun Ge'er, really strange." Zhou Litao fell into some inexplicable state, his words garbled.

"Just say it in chronological order, like taking a medical history. Well, like writing a medical record." Su Yun straightforwardly gave Zhou Litao a way forward.

Zhou Litao thought, it's like writing a medical record... it does sound a bit weird, but following this line of thought it actually makes sense.

He picked up the water bottle, gulped down half a bottle, cleared his head, then said: "When I was in my first year of graduate school I met that junior; we've been chatting well all along, and now it's been six or seven years."

"Sometimes we chat until late at night, we have many common topics."

When Zhou Litao said this, the freckles on his face flew up. The phrase 'beaming with joy' couldn't fully express his delight.

"Then what?" Su Yun guessed this might not be a happy story.

"A few days ago I said the person I wanted to confess to was her." Zhou Litao was a bit confused: "Yun Ge'er, when we were chatting a few days ago, talking about what, she suddenly asked if I liked her."

"What did you say?"

"I admitted it, and then she stopped speaking. After that, whenever I spoke she didn't reply." Zhou Litao sighed.

A romance ended before it even began.

Even Zheng Ren realized this, yet Zhou Litao still held hope for it.

"Tsk tsk, they treat you as a buddy, but you want to sleep with them—do you really think that's okay?" Su Yun smiled and said to Zhou Litao.

"..." Zhou Litao was at a loss for words.

Zheng Ren found it amusing; whatever words came out of Su Yun's mouth, whether pleasant or unpleasant, depended on his mood at the time.

Even good words, he couldn't say them well, this person.

He must have just been rebuked by himself, feeling upset, taking it out on Zhou Litao. Thinking about it, Zhou Litao is also quite pitiful.

Su Yun gave a hehe smile, patted Zhou Litao's shoulder: "Let me tell you a story."
