Chapter 453: line with translation of chapter title

Zheng Ren and Su Yun came to the side door, saw snow flying everywhere, and Zheng Ren then understood why the number of patients had suddenly dropped.

In this weather, minor ailments that people could usually tolerate are all staying home, waiting until tomorrow morning to talk about it.

Looks like today's luck is good; Zheng Ren smiled.

"Boss, what do you need me for?" Su Yun asked.

"Yi Ren's parents have already returned to the country." Zheng Ren said bluntly.

In front of Su Yun, there's no need to beat around the bush.

When asking for a favor, one must have the proper attitude; Zheng Ren, on this point, still had a rough idea in his mind.

Su Yun's expression instantly became very colorful.

"Boss, congratulations!" Su Yun said, trying not to laugh, teasingly.

Zheng Ren, however, was a bit absent-minded, completely oblivious to Su Yun's unusual teasing, and just sighed.

"Boss, I'm telling you, you're just showing off." Su Yun unsurprisingly revealed a mocking smile, "Meeting her counts as your luck bursting through the roof; frankly, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life! Why are you still sighing here? Are you showing off?"

"You know, I'm not good at chatting." Zheng Ren worried, "After meeting Yi Ren's parents, I don't even know what to say."

"You, this clumsy son-in-law, will eventually have to meet the parents-in-law. I'm telling you, little Yi Ren is basically a treasure in the palm of one's hand..." As he spoke, Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's expression grow darker and immediately stopped.

This is the prelude to an outbreak; Su Yun didn't want to touch that jinx.

"Anyway, you wouldn't pretend, so just be yourself." Su Yun laughed: "Boss, you're already standing at the peak of interventional surgery, honest and kind, not flirtatious; I really can't think of any reason Yi Ren's parents would refuse you."

Hmm, that actually sounds like something a person would say; Zheng Ren's complexion improved considerably.

"Yi Ren's father is, after all, a successful big businessman. What do businessmen care about? Investment, boss. If their vision weren't forward-looking, how could they have grown their business so large? Rest assured, you piece of raw jade, Yi Ren's father will surely recognize at a glance that you're a piece of He Shi Bi."

"From another angle, as parents, what do they want for their daughter? Nothing more than health, happiness, safety, and joy. In a certain sense, your honest, simple nature is actually an advantage."

"……" Zheng Ren had originally wanted to ask Su Yun what he should do, but he hadn't expected that what awaited him was flattery.

Being flattered by Yun Ge'er feels quite strange.

"Rest assured, even a single dog like you who relies on ability will have spring." Su Yun blew a puff of his forehead black hair, fluttering.

As expected, that dog's mouth can't spit out ivory.

After a minute of silence, Zheng Ren gazed at the snow flying everywhere, feeling somewhat lost.

"You, I'm just keeping watch here, it's nothing." Su Yun suddenly changed the topic, saying: "All we have are surgical practice licenses, sitting in internal medicine of the emergency department; if nothing happens it's fine, but if something happens it's a big deal."

"I know, but there's nothing I can do." Zheng Ren sighed.

"Director Pan went to Director Xiao's house tonight." Su Yun laughed: "You're Director Pan's golden nugget; even if you're qualified to go to the emergency department, he's reluctant to let you stay here."

"Going to Director Xiao's house?"

"Do you think Director Pan is someone who reasons? When pushed, that old man can do anything." Su Yun said: "This time he's been pushed; he said he won't let people go, and at night he won't leave."

"Hope it works; tomorrow there's still a TIPS surgery."

"The two papers we did in Di Du have both passed review." Su Yun's thoughts leapt, topic shifting quickly: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, to show off in the hospital. Wow, Willow Leaf Blade… but I didn't expect your growth speed to be so damn fast, completely unnecessary."

"Oh." Zheng Ren stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and smiled.

"Really boring, performing such awesome surgery but not letting everyone be shocked, like walking at night in brocade clothes." Su Yun still felt some regret.

"Performing surgery is to cure disease and save people."

"Damn, boss, you're giving me this greasy chicken soup?" Su Yun scoffed.

"I'm heading back." Zheng Ren tossed the cigarette butt into the outdoor ashtray, tightened his clothes, and said: "You should also go back to the ward and rest early; in this heavy snow, either nothing happens, or something big does."

"Jinx." Su Yun snapped: "I, the little master, can handle it; rest assured."

"By the way, boss, did you admit a patient with ketoacidosis today?"

Zheng Ren blinked, then nodded.

"The nurse said, when the patient arrived, you directly ordered a blood sugar test. I said, your nose is quite sensitive, you can even smell the rotten apple odor. In a regular ward I wouldn't mention it, but being able to smell it in the emergency department makes me doubt how you'll handle future bowel obstruction surgeries."

Zheng Ren broke out in a sweat.

The patient with ketoacidosis indeed has a rotten apple smell on their body, but the emergency department has many odors—vomitus, disinfectant, and the food of observation patients.

With all those smells mixed together, ordinary people really can't detect the patient's rotten apple odor.

When seeing patients, you can't just go up and sniff first.

But you can't tell Su Yun about the big pig trotter, so Zheng Ren could only stay silent.

"Before I came to cover for you, I took a look at the patient." Su Yun felt somewhat moved: "I heard from the little nurse that the neighbor brought them in, which made me really curious. These days, are there still such good people?"

"What happened then?" Zheng Ren also found this rather strange.

Thinking back on the three neighbors, especially that high school student, gave Zheng Ren a feeling that there was some story behind this.

"The patient is a retired teacher; his spouse passed away early and he had no children." Su Yun said: "Just like those cliché stories, the patient, living alone, always helps poor students, and his relationship with the neighbors is also very good."

"A real old good person."

"But it's also a case of good deeds being rewarded; while tutoring the neighbor's child, he suddenly fainted, which is why he was promptly sent to the hospital."

"Oh, it's a teacher, no wonder." Zheng Ren nodded.

"Can teachers be the same as teachers? Can someone like you, a moronic doctor, be the same as those damned doctors? Every group isn't a monolith, kid; that's life."

Su Yun's old cliché had no meaning at all; Zheng Ren kept a blank expression.

"When I went, the patient happened to have a bowel movement. That young guy was accompanying him, wiping his body." Su Yun didn't continue to spray Zheng Ren, "Ordinary children aren't that filial; it counts as him running into a good person."

"Good people are still many."

"Bullshit." Su Yun cursed, but his expression was soft, seeming to also think that patient's luck wasn't bad.

"How is the treatment effect?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Although the ketoacidosis is severe, Brother Feng's skill is high, and you didn't delay diagnosis and treatment; I think there won't be a big problem. This life, we can consider it snatched back."

"Then that's good." Zheng Ren said, then turned and went back.

The two returned from the side door to the emergency department corridor; the emergency department, which had been noisy all day, finally quieted down.

The hallway was empty and quiet; doctors and nurses each found a spot to catch their breath.

Zheng Ren didn't see Su Yun off; they went their separate ways at the door of the emergency internal medicine consultation room.

Returning to the consultation room, Zheng Ren sat down, propping his chin and staring blankly.

He had many things on his mind, most of all Xie Yiren's parents.

Hope that Su Yun's guess is correct, that bastard.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of an Emergency Rescue Service ambulance came from afar.
