Chapter 2006: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,349 words

"I... Boss, do you have the key to Yi Ren's house?" Su Yun suddenly remembered something and immediately wailed.

"Uh..." Zheng Renye also forgot this; if those few people over there had already gone to sleep, where would the three old guys go?

Forget it; if not, we'll just go to a quick hotel.

"But it's fine, I'm going home." Su Yun immediately changed expression, smiled and said: "You two go ahead, I'll just hail a car and go back."

Waving goodbye, they agreed to meet at City First Hospital early tomorrow morning. Getting in the car, Zheng Ren took out his phone, intending to send Xie Yiren a WeChat message to ask about the situation.

But when he opened WeChat, he saw the last message was a smiling face sent by Xie Yiren.

He clicked to view it, and there were still a few messages above.

【Dingdong~~ I'm your little butler, the key is placed under the flowerpot at the door, please check.】

【Still busy, we're going to sleep first, good night.】

Seeing Xiao Yi Ren's message, Zheng Ren revealed a smile that came from deep within his heart.

But at this moment Su Yun ran back again.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked.

"My mom left me a message saying she's asleep and told me to find a place to go on my own." Su Yun said dejectedly.

"I..." Zheng Ren exclaimed in surprise.

How dysfunctional must the family be that even when the son returns to Hai Cheng, he's not allowed to enter the house.

"What the hell!" Su Yun snapped, "My mom is afraid I'll nag her into buying financial products. Last time I actually threw out harsh words, saying if she buys again I'll cut off mother-son ties. I bet she's been scammed again and doesn't dare to see me."

"Forget it, forget it, let's just hole up for the night." Zheng Ren chuckled.

"Boss, your smile is really sly." Su Yun looked around.

"Yi Ren put the key under the flowerpot at the door."

"What an old trick, must have learned it from a soap opera." Su Yun always wants to interject no matter what.

"Who knows."

"Boss, let's go to the hospital early tomorrow morning to check on Wang Zong and the others, then we'll head back." Su Yun said: "Wang Daoshi is probably already anxious to the point of being unable to wait, yet he can't be rushed."

"His son is fine." Zheng Ren said, "But with Master Yan coming, I feel something is a bit odd."

"That's just being overly suspicious like a fox." Su Yun said disdainfully: "Master Yan is obviously interested in those few ancient books in Wang Daoshi's hands, okay?"

"He said he'd bring me a gift; from what he said it sounds like something good, I'm slightly looking forward to it." Zheng Ren said.

"Boss, why are you becoming more and more withdrawn?" Su Yun laughed: "It's just giving you a gift; I remember your temperament, you should just smile faintly and not care."

"No." Zheng Ren said: "I always feel this is a good thing."

"How so?"

"You know... right, have you been to Old Crow Mountain?"

"I've been once; many locals around here know of Wang Daoshi. They just don't call him Wang Ge directly; they use respectful titles like 'Immortal Master'."

"I haven't been; that place is very remote. Think about it: even such a remote place, a Wang Daoshi who graduated from a medical college, resides in a Daoist temple but his heart is in the hospital, knows Master Yan's name—I think in his field he's similar to Charles."

"Tsk tsk, really daring to imagine." Su Yun said.

"Just a feeling; I still have a good impression of Master Yan." Zheng Ren laughed.

"Even though you had a good impression, last time you didn't crack a smile; that meal was awfully awkward."

"In your words, that's social anxiety."

"Don't fantasize; you actually expect him to bring you something good."

"Who knows, go home and sleep!" Zheng Ren sat bolt upright, staring straight ahead, with no intention of going back to sleep at all.

Returning to the familiar house, Zheng Ren fished out the key and opened the door.

From afar, looking at Xie Yiren's little villa, lights blazing, occasionally one could see several graceful figures reflected on the curtains.

"Didn't you say you were asleep?" Zheng Ren muttered to himself strangely.

"Boss, you really don't understand women. When Yi Ren told you she was asleep and said good night, it means they still want to play for a while; don't disturb them." Su Yun translated on the side.

Zheng Ren felt it was hard.

The Big Pig Trotter gave him full language proficiency, but it didn't include the function of translating women's words.

It seems the distance between men's and women's ways of thinking is even greater than that between nations.

But it doesn't matter; as long as Xiao Yi Ren is having fun, that's fine.

Zheng Ren opened the door, entered, arranged each of their rooms, washed up and went to sleep.

That day was exhausting enough; from Di Du to Sheng Cheng, he performed three surgeries, then returned to Hai Cheng.

Zheng Ren lay on the familiar bed, directly entered the System Space, and sat by the small pond, spacing out.

Resting here has an effect much stronger than just sleeping straight through.

The night passed uneventfully; early the next morning, Zheng Ren was awakened by his phone ringing.

【They said quickly write a love song, for both refined and popular tastes……】

Emerging from the System Space, Zheng Ren picked up his phone and saw it was Xiao Yi Ren.

He glanced at the time; it should be to find the three of them over here for breakfast.

"You up?"

"Mm-hmm, okay, I'll call them. After washing up we'll head over, no rush."

"Okay, okay."

Zheng Ren kept saying "good, good, good" and "yes, yes, yes" all the way, even more obedient than when he first started work facing Liu Tianxing.

If the doctors at Capital Medical University Affiliated Hospital knew that the legendary, arrogant and domineering Zheng Lao Ban usually acted like this, their glasses would surely shatter.

After a quick wash-up, the three of them went out to forage like starving stray dogs that hadn't eaten in days, just as they used to when working in Hai Cheng.

Last night they probably played very late; anyway, the Chu family sisters hadn't gotten up yet, still snoring loudly upstairs.

Liu Xiao Jie was listless, but Xie Yiren was radiant, wearing an apron and busy at work.

Chang Yue sat at the table, dazed.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yun asked as she entered.

"I'm sleepy, I stayed up too late playing yesterday."

"You drank alcohol!" Su Yun raised her eyebrows, displeased.

"No." Chang Yue boredly held her phone, "I posted the short video online; last night I just racked up likes and shares."

"Is this what they call overnight fame?"

"Probably." Chang Yue said: "I guess they've been busy lately."

"It's useless, the other two sisters don't care about that either." Su Yun plopped down and shouted, "Waiter, breakfast?"

"Zheng Ren, you go sit, I'll bring it over." Xie Yiren, like a kitchen maid, pushed Zheng Ren out of the kitchen.

"Can't you be serious?" Chang Yue was dissatisfied with Su Yun calling the waiter.

"You're no different—just sitting here, waiting to die."

Zheng Ren sat back at the table and held down Feng Xu Hui. This guy better not cause trouble—he's limping, and he'll break the dishes again.

After a simple breakfast, the Chu sisters were still asleep.

Zheng Ren called Director Pan and went straight to the Emergency Department.

But when he got out of the car, he saw Wang Daoshi standing at the gate with his hands behind his back, looking like a transcendental hermit gazing ahead.

Tsk, just that act could fetch some silver; if he started deceiving people, he'd be more convincing than that middle-aged woman from Sheng Cheng.

Zheng Ren thought to himself.
