Chapter 2270: 2193 An Ambiguous Relationship

Su Yun stared for a moment, slightly shook his head, and said, "Manager Zhou, go smoke a cigarette."

"Smoke less, it's harmful to health." Lin Yuan immediately said.

"Tch." Su Yun looked at Lin Yuan with contempt, "You, wearing lead clothing every day for surgery, it's like smoking three packs a day plus getting drunk once. Your internal environment is a complete mess, and you talk to me about health hazards?"

"I'm performing surgery, saving lives!" Lin Yuan said unhappily.

"I'm just trying to cheer up the inpatient chief on the clinical frontline—look at his miserable state; even a rescue would delay treatment. If someone dies, is it on your head?" Su Yun had plenty of fallacious arguments; Lin Yuan was no match for him.

They arrived at the duty room, Zhou Litao opened the cabinet and took out cigarettes.

"Don't bother, your cigarettes have been stored too long and are already dry." Su Yun said, "Smoke mine instead."

Zhou Litao remained listless and spiritless.

"Pathetic." Su Yun said with contempt, "You've worked in the emergency department this long and still haven't seen many dead people?"

"But he shouldn't..."

"There are plenty of things that shouldn't be." Su Yun lit a cigarette, and Lin Yuan immediately opened all the windows.

"Tell me, how's your love life lately?" Su Yun asked.

"A classmate introduced me to a girl, and we're chatting." As he said this, Zhou Litao's face faintly glowed with a hint of happiness.

"What do you think?"

"I feel it's great—she's beautiful, pure, and her smile feels like first love."

"Cut the nonsense, I don't believe you ever had a girlfriend." Su Yun interrupted Zhou Litao's imagination in the simplest, most brutal way.

"……"

Zheng Ren felt this wasn't good, always hitting Manager Zhou, don't make him develop a world-weary mood.

"Yun Ge'er, unrequited love is still love." Zhou Litao said, "Actually, unrequited love has many benefits; the other party doesn't even know, I just need to silently like her and silently treat her well."

"Boss, take a look at the Casanova's demeanor." Su Yun and Zheng Ren said.

Zheng Ren ignored him, looking at Zhou Litao's face full of freckles, wondering what illness Lawyer Ge's patient might have.

"I think Manager Zhou is right; as long as you like someone, that's enough." Lin Yuan stood by Zhou Litao.

"Platonic love, or one-sided. Psychologically, this is an expression of extreme inferiority." Su Yun glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "It's okay for Manager Zhou to think that way—he knows he's ugly—but for you to think that way is completely unreasonable."

"……" Zhou Litao cried, "Yun Ge'er, can't you be less blunt?"

"Come on, tell me your history; let me analyze why someone with good looks like you would have this inferiority, mild autism-like mental condition." Su Yun asked Lin Yuan with a teasing smile.

"Tch, I don't have any mental illness." Lin Yuan said, "Is what Manager Zhou said right? Liking someone means you have to give."

"That's from your perspective—aren't there lots of people chasing you? Don't you also enjoy others' silent, unconditional giving?" Su Yun asked with contempt.

Zhou Litao looked at his so-called "ally" and clearly knew the truth in his heart.

The pretty girl beside Boss Zheng isn't on his side, and she seemingly doesn't care whether you give or not; her idea is that as long as you don't disturb her life, whether she wants unrequited love or not is none of my business.

Sigh, in this appearance-obsessed society, what can I do?

Wrong! Zhou Litao was led astray by Su Yun again; he immediately realized this and said, "Yun Ge'er, it's not like that."

"Oh?"

"She's been good to me, and we chat quite a bit." Zhou Litao's mood improved a little, "It's just that we're hot and cold—I talk a lot, she says little. But when I'm busy and don't speak for a day, she'll remind me to take care of my health."

"Tsk tsk." Su Yun wore a look of disdain.

"Isn't that pretty good? What are you tsk-tsking about?" Lin Yuan wondered.

"I think there's a high chance Manager Zhou will waste about a year before figuring this out." Su Yun said with a chuckle.

"Figure out what?" Zhou Litao asked in surprise.

"Do you know there's a kind of girl who likes the feeling of being chased?"

"Do you need to be so dark?" Lin Yuan frowned.

"You don't get it." Su Yun said with a scornful look, "I'm putting this out there—if Manager Zhou doesn't believe me, he can try it."

"How to try?" Zhou Litao also felt a bit dazed.

"You can go ask her out."

"I don't have any vacation..." Zhou Litao said anxiously, "The inpatient chief position doesn't end until the end of June."

"Give it a try, let me tell you—if you ask her out now, you definitely won't succeed. But if you cool off for a while, she'll ask you out on a day she's feeling down." Su Yun said, "Even after some time, you could still hold hands and go shopping. But..."

As he spoke, he emphasized his tone and paused a moment.

"Girls absolutely refuse to admit you're their boyfriend."

"Why?" Zhou Litao couldn't follow Su Yun's logic.

"You'll know if you try—I'm just guessing, but I hope I'm wrong." Su Yun laughed, blew a puff of air, his black hair fluttering over his forehead, damn handsome.

"How did you guess that?" Lin Yuan wondered.

"How did you learn surgery?" Su Yun countered.

"Reading books, watching surgeries, being an assistant, then trying to start with minor surgeries as the lead, one case after another." Lin Yuan answered doubtfully, "Shouldn't it be like that?"

"So, you see I rarely do surgery, but my level is higher than Fugui'er's." Su Yun said, "Just look once and you'll get it—it's really hard to understand why you talentless people can't learn it. Surgery, the simpler the better, yet you still can't learn it, really frustrating."

"If what you say is true, then the only thing you can be proud of is wasting your talent." Lin Yuan attempted to attack Su Yun.

But such an attack is nothing but a drizzle to Su Yun.

"Isn't talent meant to be wasted?" Su Yun said, "People without talent to waste are the most pitiable."

After saying that, he gave Lin Yuan and Zhou Litao a pitying look; the unspoken subtext shouldn't be too obvious.

"No." Zheng Ren suddenly said.

"Oh? You also want to discuss this?"

"I mean the patient's condition is wrong." Zheng Ren said, "Intermittent hypoglycemia, yet it only causes behavioral issues in the patient, and once blood sugar returns to normal there are no lingering problems—this is rare."

"What patient?" Zhou Litao asked curiously.

Su Yun roughly explained the whole thing, and Zhou Litao also began to recall.

"Pancreas problems, that's the main consideration. There are also a few special cases; I'll think again." Zheng Ren didn't listen to Su Yun and them chatting, but seriously considered the patient's condition.

One hour later, Lawyer Ge brought the patient to EmergencyDepartment.
