Chapter 888: 871 Kind-hearted (Alliance Leader cws6682 Bonus Chapter 5)

Chatting and laughing all the way, they arrived at the halfway point of a small hill beside the reservoir.

From the outside it indeed looked like a plantation base, but upon entering it showed some decline, yet still held a different world within.

Zheng Ren had not a trace of refinement, and could not see that the place was carefully designed. He simply sat quietly to one side, occasionally smiling.

Although Lin Fengming thanked him for accompanying his wife to see a doctor, Zheng Ren did not take it seriously. That day he had indeed felt genuine hostility from Lin Fengming.

Zheng Ren not speaking does not mean he doesn't know.

Moreover, hostility is just hostility; Zheng Ren didn't care either.

I'm just a doctor; properly treating patients is enough.

Lin Fengming's wife, that thin and tall female model, looked somewhat better.

It was said that over the past two days she had eaten a lot of high-calorie food, the kinds she usually wanted but dared not eat, and it was very satisfying.

Zheng Ren felt somewhat moved; this illness really was a kind-hearted disease. Being able to resolve it by eating high-calorie food was simply too perfect.

If all illnesses could be resolved this way, how wonderful that would be.

"Su Yun, those two don't look like a married couple," said Chang Yue, leaning in to whisper to Su Yun's ear as the others dispersed and they sat at the table chatting.

"You don't understand anything." Su Yun said disdainfully, "This is a sign of society getting better and better."

"What?" Chang Yue blinked.

"Men are sensible; when they have money they want to take care of more women. Women are also sensible; knowing a man has no money, they avoid bothering him so he won't be overburdened." Su Yun said.

"..." Chang Yue blinked, fell silent for a few seconds, pondered it over, then said, "Saying that makes me feel society is full of love."

"Right." Su Yun laughed and said, "The key is you said the wrong thing."

"Where is it wrong?"

"How could you think they are a married couple? Perhaps it's just a woman he wants to look after now that he has money."

"..." Chang Yue remained silent.

The two spoke in low voices, and Zheng Ren caught a faint snippet.

Although Su Yun was talking nonsense and spouting extravagant claims, it wasn't completely without reason. Three parts truth, seven parts falsehood—that was his usual manner of speaking and retorting.

Zheng Ren also ignored Su Yun chatting with Chang Yue over there, merely quietly watching Xie Yiren's small hand resting on her leg, pale and plump, soft as boneless. His thoughts had already left the meal, flying ahead to the moment after eating when he would hold Xiao Yi Ren's hand and stroll leisurely.

But just wondering, does he still have a smell on himself?

Zheng Ren took a strong sniff; it should be fine. If there is any, it's merely his imagination.

What's good to eat about the reservoir's kai jiang fish?

That's what Zheng Ren thought.

The professor was quite interested in the so-called kai jiang fish; Lin JiaoJiao saw Zheng Ren merely gazing at Xie Yiren, knowing this was a young man's heart stirring, and did not want to disturb Zheng Ren.

At this moment, disturbing a pool of spring water would instead be unbeautiful.

She merely smiled and introduced to everyone: "Kai jiang fish, best when made from crucian carp. Having undergone ice and snow cleansing, survived the extreme cold of the nine nines, its vitality reaches the peak. The three words 'essence, energy, spirit' are the finishing touch of kai jiang fish."

Su Yun nodded, his lips rarely showing even a hint of a mocking smile.

In his view, Lin JiaoJiao's introduction certainly had high prestige. Saying that the crucian carp, full of bones and easy to choke on, became a delicacy under her words.

That requires skill.

"The crucian carp's vitality is tenacious; as soon as it thaws, it can be fed. After a winter's cleansing, its body contains no impurities. Its flesh is fresh, tender, and smooth, worthy of being called nature's gift to humanity."

"Because crucian carp are small and full of bones, eating the meat is only a middle choice; the best is naturally to make soup. Using Jade Spring Mountain's water, small freshwater fish, a little scallion and ginger, a cup of yellow wine, simmered over low heat, the fish soup turns thick and white—top grade." Lin JiaoJiao said seriously; those present had their index fingers twitching, feeling a bit hungry from her words.

Zheng Renze remained as he was, merely staring at Xie Yiren's small hand without moving; Lin JiaoJiao's words sounded to him like a private hospital advertising what surgeries it could perform.

Although the level is low, it sounds pleasant.

Zheng Renze is essentially immune to fine words; he only acts, he does not speak.

Lin JiaoJiao blathers on, breaking heaven—just crucian carp soup, what's so great about it?

Hmm, this guy is just utterly unromantic.

First drink the soup, then eat the dishes. Besides crucian carp, there is also the Three Jiang Plain's specialty, small willow sprouts.

Also, reportedly, the cold-water small silver fish from Changbai Mountain Heavenly Lake.

Various fish served one after another, the sight dazzling, quite novel.

Zheng Renze was eating the cold-water small silver fish for the first time, and it suited his appetite. Lin JiaoJiao observed this and made a mental note.

After the meal, host and guest were all pleased. Lin JiaoJiao then arranged the itinerary for Zheng Renze and the others.

Leaving the hall, Lin JiaoJiao pointed to a small pavilion above and said, "Zheng Lao Ban, there's nothing much to see here; that's the only viewing platform."

"Can we go down?" Su Yun asked.

"In the past one could go down here; this was one of the few routes to the reservoir. But now it's not allowed, with armed police guarding it. If you find someone, you could perhaps negotiate passage, but there's no need for that, right, Yun Ge'er?" Lin JiaoJiao called out Yun Ge'er, unabashed, her words bright and smiling like an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girl.

Su Yun's skin is also thick; he didn't feel anything.

"Then forget it; going to look at the night scenery is also fine." Su Yun said.

"I won't accompany you." Lin JiaoJiao said, "If you need anything, there are staff nearby; just call out."

Su Yun waved his hand and led the way up the mountain.

The hill is not high, but after going up, overlooking the reservoir, his chest suddenly felt broad.

Although the sky was already dark, the scattered lights around the reservoir's edge happened to outline a faint perimeter. The lake water lapped the shores; gazing far into the distance, a small island could be faintly seen not far away.

On the mountain it was unusually quiet; the few people seemed to have stepped out of the mundane world, transcended the five elements, and enjoyed a moment of earthly tranquility.

The night breeze was gentle, yet not cold.

Even the most noisy Su Yun calmed down; under the faint starlight, gazing at the lake water, he completely emptied his mind.

Xiao Yi Ren leaned on Zheng Renze's shoulder, quietly gazing. Although ahead was pitch black, the human lights turned into stars like constellations, compared to the countless stars in the northeastern sky, giving a different flavor.

They sat quietly for a long time; the night breeze grew cool, Zheng Ren glanced at his phone—it was past nine.

"Let's go home." Zheng Renze said.

Boss, do you know you're very boring?

Tomorrow there's still a Surgery live broadcast; if you have time the day after tomorrow, let's come over here for a walk ourselves. Zheng Ren said.

Descending the mountain, calling Professor and little Oliver, we went home all the way and rested early.

Surgery live broadcast, a good start is just the first step. Whether tomorrow's Shou Bing can ignite the Interventional Medicine Discipline is a very crucial step.
