Chapter 361: Eating with a group of doctors feels like what? Chapter 361: Eating with a group of doctors feels like what? âYes,â Xie Wanying nodded.
âWhatâs he laughing at?â Wu Lixuan bitingly asked beside her childhood friendâs ear, âIs he laughing at me?â
âNoâââ Xie Wanying clarified on behalf of Senior Brother Huang, âSenior Brother Huang isnât that sort of person.â
âHe was definitely just laughing,â Wu Lixuanâs eyes scrutinized him again to confirm that the man opposite was indeed smiling.
Fearing his image as a gentleman was in doubt, Huang Zhilei immediately extended his hand to the two girls, âLet me help you with those; donât tire your hands out.â
Wu Lixuan realized that he had indeed laughed at her earlier remark, couldnât help but feel irritated, and said, âYingyingâs hands are very precious.â
âYes, I know. Trust me. I gave her a talking-to last time she injured her hand,â Huang Zhilei insisted with a very earnest facial expression, ensuring the other party that he truly wasnât laughing this time.
Xie Wanying anxiously glanced inside the private room, worried that the teachers might overhear their conversation. Her hands couldnât compare to those of her teachers, nor to Senior Brother Huangâs, and she said to him, âSenior Brother, my childhood friend is just joking, donât take it seriously. She has a great sense of humor.â
Wu Lixuan, hearing her childhood friendâs words and understanding that there were leaders in the private room, decided not to argue with the man for now.
âDonât worry.â Huang Zhilei reassured the two girls, swiftly taking several paper bags from their hands.
Wu Lixuanâs impression of him was a bit hazy now, recalling that he looked very professional in his white coat the last time they met, and now, dressed like a Western cowboy, he seemed totally different and quite dashing.
âWhat kind of illnesses does he treat?â Wu Lixuan asked her best friend.
âSenior Brother is a neurosurgeon; he treats brain diseases. To put it plainly, he operates on peopleâs brains,â she replied.
âHow do you operate on the brain? Isnât the brain hard?â Wu Lixuan asked, curious.
âWith a drill and saw,â Xie Wanying explained in simple terms for her childhood friendâs understanding.
Walking ahead, Huang Zhilei heard this and thought, Small Junior Sister is seriously giving her friend a lesson in medicine; isnât she afraid of scaring her to death? He looked back and, sure enough, Wu Lixuanâs eyes were filled with terror as she gazed at him, almost as if she saw him as the lead character in a horror movie.
Huang Zhilei adjusted his glasses in resignation.
âDr. Xie, has your friend arrived? Come on in and eat,â Luo Yanfen, who was helping at the door, called out.
âIâll just set my things down and be on my way,â Wu Lixuan said, only to be firmly pulled by Luo Yanfen to sit at the table, leaving her no choice but to ask, âYingying, who is thisâââ
âSheâs Dr. Luo,â Xie Wanying said.
âTeacher Tan is treating us to dinner tonight,â Luo Yanfen indicated, suggesting that her pulling her to sit and eat was at the hostâs bidding.
Teacher Tan? The man holding the menu across from them, silent and appearing quite cool. Wu Lixuan got up, and said politely, âThank you, Teacher Tan.â
âDr. Tan,â others corrected her.
âThey are all doctors?â When Wu Lixuan asked, she suddenly realized: everyone sitting at the table was a doctor. Her hand touched her chest, and her heart started thumping slightly.
Normally, she wouldnât be nervous dining with major clients or bosses, but the idea of eating with a bunch of doctors brought to mind the medical explanation her childhood friend had just given her.
âIs your heart uncomfortable?â Luo Yanfen asked, noticing her hand on her chest, âShall I have a teacher from cardiology check on you? We have several from the cardiology department here tonight.â
This terrified Wu Lixuan so much that she froze in her seat.
Tonight, apart from those who drilled into skulls, there were those who operated on hearts. What else? Wu Lixuanâs gaze shifted to her childhood friend.
Xie Wanying introduced her own internship department to her childhood friend: âGeneral Surgery Second Division, mainly treating digestive diseases.â
Digestive?
