That’s how they became childhood friends, both experiencing the same preference for boys over girls.
In their hometown, such matters were common. Wu Lixuan thought that these highly educated city folks wouldn’t understand these things.
Wu Lixuan silently continued eating her porridge.
“Do you two share a secret?”
Whose voice was that?
Wu Lixuan raised her head and saw Huang Senior Brother, the friend who had called her earlier.
She exclaimed, “How did you get here?”
Huang Zhilei stood behind Cao Yong and adjusted his glasses. “Why can’t I be here?”
“She’s gone to deliver clay-pot rice to you,” Wu Lixuan said in a hurry.
“I was passing by and didn’t know. I’ll eat in the duty room later,” Huang Zhilei replied.
So, he happened to be passing by and overheard.
Wu Lixuan turned her head.
Like Xie Wanying, she didn’t like people prying into her secrets because she didn’t want their sympathy.
Girls who had made their own way in life didn’t need to seek pity.
Seeing Wu Lixuan’s strange expression, Cao Yong thought about her teary eyes earlier and was sure something had happened to her.
After Xie Wanying went to deliver clay-pot rice to Huang Senior Brother, she received a call from Cao Senior Brother.
“Come back to the department in a couple of days. I’ll be on duty then, and I’ll teach you how to tie knots.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
In a couple of days, after recovering from the fever, Wu Lixuan had to return to her hometown for work.
Xie Wanying accompanied her to the train station, and they hugged when they parted.
“I’ll visit you when I have free time,” Wu Lixuan said to her friend. “This time, since I know you’re busy being a doctor, it’s better for me to come find you instead of you coming to find me.”
Xie Wanying felt guilty because she couldn’t spend quality time showing her friend around the capital this time.
“It’s all my fault. I’m not used to the northern climate, got sick, and couldn’t have fun. It has nothing to do with you,” Wu Lixuan said, then grabbed Xie Wanying’s hand, furrowing her brow, considering whether she should tell her about Cao Senior Brother’s private matter.
“Is something wrong?” Xie Wanying noticed that she had something on her mind and asked.
The train ticket gate opened.
“No, nothing,” Wu Lixuan said as she turned to pick up her luggage.
After taking a few steps, she turned back and said, “Your Senior Brother Cao is a nice person.”
Senior Brother has always been a good person.
Xie Wanying smiled.
She didn’t know if her friend had understood the underlying message, but she didn’t know what she should or shouldn’t say, so Wu Lixuan headed towards the ticket gate.
Standing on her tiptoes, she watched her closest friend disappear into the crowd.
Xie Wanying felt a sense of melancholy in her heart. Her childhood friend’s visit had brought the warmth of her hometown, and the homeland was a special feeling that nobody could abandon.
Did she miss home?
Quite a bit, even though her teachers and classmates here were great.
After seeing her friend off, Xie Wanying returned to her dormitory to review her books.
Tomorrow was the sixth day of the lunar new year, and she had to go back to the neurosurgery department for her internship.
She needed to make the most of her time. School would start in a couple of days, and she was afraid she wouldn’t have the opportunity to spend the whole day interning at the hospital for a while.
At the National Association General Hospital, the official start of work was on the eighth day of the lunar new year.
However, the nature of a doctor’s job was different from other professions; they still had to be scheduled to work during holidays.
On the sixth and seventh days of the lunar new year, personnel from various departments returned according to each department’s requirements.
For departments like neurosurgery, they had to return collectively on the sixth day for rounds, to adjust their rest and work status.
On the seventh day, they would start performing surgeries that had been postponed due to the Spring Festival, and the eighth day would be a normal working day.
Senior Brother informed her that they needed to be back in the department by eight o’clock sharp to prepare for the handover.
After having breakfast early and exercising a bit, Xie Wanying arrived at the neurosurgery department before 7:30.
In the ward, doctors and nurses who had returned to work were all busy.
