- Chapter 181: Where's the Handkerchief?
Now Xie Wanying remembered the lecture her senior brother gave her last night and realised where she had gone wrong.
The two of them walked into the alley behind the hospital, adjacent to the school. As Xie Wanying looked at the familiar streets and shops, memories from over three years ago flooded back.
They hadn’t actually gone to the restaurant where she and her three senior brothers had eaten over three years ago.
As they entered, one of the waitstaff recognized her immediately and said, “You saved an old man here before. Later, our boss said that if you ever come to dine here, your meal would be free. You never showed up. Is it because our restaurant’s beef noodles aren’t good?”
“No,” Xie Wanying shook her head. She simply couldn’t afford to eat out.
The waiter understood something from her expression and went to tell the boss, “Boss, the customer who should get a free meal is here. Should we make her some beef noodles?”
“Besides beef noodles, what else do you like to eat? Tell the boss,” Cao Yong said to her after they were seated.
“I’m fine with anything,” Xie Wanying replied.
“Don’t be shy. They said it’s on the house for you.”
“This isn’t right.”
“No need to be so honest.”
“Senior Brother…” Xie Wanying searched for what to say next.
Cao Yong recalled the incident in the department where the one surnamed Wang had taken advantage of her honesty and burst into laughter again.
As she watched him laugh, those two small dimples on his handsome face became even more striking. Xie Wanying was curious. Why would such a handsome man become a doctor?
Being naturally good-looking had its advantages, but being a surgeon was tough, exhausting, and dirty work.
Noticing her gaze, Cao Yong asked, “Do you have any questions for me?”
After thinking for a moment, Xie Wanying decided to be straightforward, following her senior’s example. “Senior Brother, why did you want to become a doctor?”
“Medicine is very interesting,” Cao Yong replied while chatting with her and using chopsticks to rinse them with hot water.
This answer was somewhat unexpected for her.
Seeing her expression, Cao Yong said, “What? Do you think that if everyone wants to become a doctor, the first thing they should think about is saving lives and helping the injured? Saving lives and helping the injured alone is far from enough.” He only missed adding three more words: “Little junior sister.”
Indeed, she was the little junior sister. Even though the junior in front of him excelled in clinical skills, nearly matching his own natural talents, it was evident that she was younger and less experienced in life, and perhaps a bit more naive.#pleasereadthisnovelatwondernovels.com
Two steaming bowls of beef noodles were served, and the waiter said, “The boss said we’ve added extra beef for you, and it’s on the house.”
“We told the boss that we won’t be shy about it,” Cao Yong nodded towards the waiter.
Sensing something, Xie Wanying asked him softly, “Senior Brother, are you close with the owner of this restaurant?”
“The owner of this restaurant used to be a medical student,” Cao Yong explained.
The owner was a medical student? Why did he open a restaurant? Was there a story behind it?
Xie Wanying was surprised because this was a fact she hadn’t considered before.
“Eat up,” Cao Yong urged her, handing her the chopsticks.
As Xie Wanying looked at the beef noodles, she remembered something important and said, “Senior Brother, the handkerchief you lent me—”
Oh, had she finally remembered this matter?
Cao Yong smiled, waiting for her to continue.
“I soaked it in disinfectant,” Xie Wanying explained later, realising that perhaps Senior Brother hadn’t asked for it back due to cleanliness concerns. Most doctors had a certain level of cleanliness obsession, so they might dislike having someone else use their handkerchief.Pleasereadthisnovelatwondernovels.com
When Cao Yong heard her mention soaking his handkerchief in disinfectant, he nearly choked on his soup.
“Senior Brother, is it because the disinfectant smells bad? Later, I also placed the handkerchief in the sun to air it out and blow-dried—”
Xie Wanying hurriedly explained, assisting him with the napkins.
