Chapter 985: line with translation of title

~7 min read 1,335 words

After the surgery, the patient was sent back to the ward by that pitiful resident doctor who didn't even lift a hand to suture the skin. Fang Lin warmly invited Zheng Ren and Su Yun to stay at the hospital for a takeout meal, but Su Yun sternly refused.

What's there to eat in the Hospital, and you can't even drink alcohol—this is just nonsense.

Going to a roadside stall for some skewers and a few bottles of beer is far better than eating in the Hospital.

Zheng Ren checked his phone; Xie Yiren left a message saying she and Chang Yue were waiting for them in the car. The two changed clothes and prepared to leave the Hospital.

At this time every day, one's mood is the most Relaxation.

Zheng Ren zhen wanted to turn into a giant panda at the Rongcheng Giant Panda Base, lying on a pile of bamboo, dazedly spacing out. When hungry, he'd gnaw a bite of bamboo; when sleepy, he'd take a nap; each day he wouldn't think about anything.

But this is just a beautiful dream.

Just as they were about to leave, Shen Boshi came out of the ward with a dejected look, greeting Zheng Ren and Su Yun listlessly.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked softly upon seeing his expression.

"I admitted a patient with Bouchard's syndrome; he kept asking me, saying he'd spent his whole life teaching and nurturing others, how could he get sick." Shen Boshi sighed and said.

"Title: Teacher," Su Yun, who rarely held back from mocking, merely asked.

As for the profession of teacher, Su Yun still appeared to hold it in great respect and awe.

How rare, Zheng Ren thought.

But this isn't a big deal; when one falls ill, one always doubts life. Zheng Ren comforted Shen Boshi with a couple of words, and just as he was about to leave, Shen Boshi suddenly asked: "Zheng Lao Ban, do you still remember my classmate who had breast cancer?"

"Hmm, I have an impression; I think her name was Gu Lili." Zheng Ren said.

Face to face, he certainly wouldn't recognize Gu Lili, but recalling a patient's name posed no difficulty for Zheng Ren.

He Clarity remembered that Gu Lili was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. He had only glanced at it then and had no further contact.

"The post-op immunohistochemistry report shows triple-negative; the Shou Bing was fine, come for chemotherapy tomorrow." Shen Boshi said: "I only learned this after returning from the front lines, Zheng Lao Ban—do you have any suggestions for triple-negative breast cancer?"

Zheng Ren didn't speak, just shook his head.

Shen Boshi's mood grew increasingly low, and Zheng Ren couldn't help it. He was merely a doctor; some diseases can be solved by Shou Bing, others…… can only wait for technological level Progress to be able to solve.

As for that sort of thing that just happened in the Operating Room, he was utterly powerless.

Unable to resolve Shen Boshi's problem, Zheng Ren could only pat his shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

Going downstairs with Su Yun to the car, Xiao Yi Ren and Chang Yue didn't want to go out to eat; they wanted to go home and make zhajiangmian.

Zheng Ren, on the other hand, had no particular thoughts; eating was merely a way to fill his stomach, a means of survival.

But for Xie Yiren, eating is where the meaning of life lies, although it isn't the greatest meaning.

Su Yun had no interest in what to eat; only alcohol could ignite him. But Chang Yue sat silently in the car, so Su Yun couldn't be too reckless.

Driving to the supermarket, they prepared to buy daily necessities and ingredients for making zhajiangmian in the Evening.

Parking was a problem at this time of day; after searching for several Minutes, they barely found a spot.

"In the past, I didn't want to live in Di Du or Modu precisely because there are too many people here—you have to rely on luck to find parking," Xie Yiren said.

Zheng Ren suddenly recalled Director Kong's parking experience at the liver and gallbladder hospital in Di Du, pondering that someday he could come and ask the gatekeeper or security for a spot—finding one would also be good.

Inside the supermarket, Chang Yue went to the electronic luggage storage area, waited a few Minutes, and when someone retrieved a bag, a spot opened up.

Really, whatever you do, you have to wait; Zheng Ren was also speechless. But with Xiao Yi Ren beside him, chatting and laughing, this waiting wasn't boring.

Chang Yue opened the locker, about to put his bag inside, when a figure darted ahead half a step and shoved a large red bag emblazoned with some bank's commemorative deposit of several billion into it.

Such agility, if it could be quantified, would be like having a luck +16, providing ample buff.

Not participating in the Olympics—what a pity.

Zheng Ren also didn't want to argue with such an auntie; even if he tried, he couldn't win. If he really encountered someone who would throw a tantrum and roll on the ground, stripping off his clothes, do-gooders would post the video online.

Um, when the time comes, the performer in the Surgery Livestream Room, Nobel Prize Nominee Zheng Ren, forced…… such a sensational headline—just thinking about it made Zheng Ren feel awful.

Just about to persuade Chang Yue, worst case I'd just wait outside.

But before Zheng Ren could speak, Su Yun walked up with a gentle, spring‑breeze‑like smile and closed the locker.

A slip of paper with a written code popped out.

Su Yun picked up the paper, tore it apart nonchalantly, tossed it into a nearby trash can, and pulled Chang Yue inside.

The auntie behind them was stunned; her reaction was slower, and by the time she realized what had happened, Su Yun had already sealed Chang Yue's bag, tossed it into the shopping cart, and swaggered into the supermarket.

Really, not afraid of trouble, Zheng Ren thought.

But Zheng Ren understood that kindness often invites exploitation; he simply couldn't be bothered to show his sharpness.

Days passed in Silence Silence, and this is all for what purpose?

Suffering a loss is a blessing; suffering a loss is a blessing.

If arrogance goes on too long, one will eventually encounter someone or something that metes out punishment.

Walking through the forest of shelves, Zheng Ren completely Relaxation down, his attention focused on Xie Yiren; he didn't even notice where he was going or what the neighboring shelves were selling.

"What kind of braised zhajiangmian do you like?" Xiao Yi Ren asked as she walked.

The ingredients would have to be bought later at the downstairs agricultural market; Xiao Yi Ren was just asking casually.

"Anything works; back when I caught an emergency Shou Bing, I'd go home and soak instant noodles. If you ask me about the taste of instant noodles, I could still offer suggestions." Zheng Ren laughed.

"Eating instant noodles often is bad for your health."

"Hmm, but eating instant noodles also has one benefit."

"What?"

"You can feel the breath of spring." Zheng Ren said.

"Ah?"

"Whenever I feel the sauce packet soften, I know spring has arrived and it's time to switch to lighter clothing." Zheng Ren said.

"Boss, that statement reveals where you live." Su Yun said expressionlessly: "Only northerners would have that feeling, right? In the south, the sauce packets are always soft."

"If you have time, cook a bowl of noodles; otherwise, in a few years the instant‑noodle companies will all go bankrupt, and this once‑delicacy will become merely a memory." Zheng Ren said.

"Only for you is that considered good food." Su Yun said: "Fat otaku happy water paired with instant noodles is truly the standard setup for someone like you, a homebody."

I am an Operating Room otaku, the thing I eat the most is definitely the takeout at the Hospital entrance.
