Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 371 - 190: Stand Tall When Hit, Feelings Heating Up (Part 3)

"Haha, isn’t this just great!"

Li Jingsheng walked out alongside her. She didn’t refuse, but instead lowered her head slightly, her expression carrying a hint of shyness.

As they passed the nurse’s station outside, she didn’t dare to lift her head to look at anyone.

Li Jingsheng, on the other hand, was relaxed and at ease.

She truly is interesting. In the pursuit of love, there were a few times when she would proactively call or text Li Jingsheng, claiming she was just ’passing by’ his clinic. That’s quite brave of her.

But whenever other people were around, she would become extremely shy and timid.

Whether it was the time she went to the clinic to bring milk tea to Li Jingsheng, only to find the clinic staff hadn’t left yet, scaring her into running away. Or now, walking alongside Li Jingsheng after work, too shy to even lift her head.

"Wow, Dr. Li, you’re impressive! Already paired up with Dr. Ou!"

"Don’t forget to invite us to eat wedding candy when you get married!"

The nurses’ teasing was manageable, but with their teasing, Ou Qinglan’s face immediately turned as red as a tomato.

She quickened her steps and walked ahead.

But in front of these colleagues, she couldn’t just ignore them.

"Absolutely, I’ll definitely invite all of you for the wedding feast when the time comes."

Li Jingsheng responded with a smile, helping her out of the situation.

After the two entered the elevator hall, Ou Qinglan’s pretty face was still red.

Her skin was naturally fair and delicate, making her blush even more noticeable.

Of course, it also made her look especially pretty.

A woman in a state of shyness is even more beautiful.

Somewhat reminiscent of a young girl.

"Those nurses just love teasing me, it’s so embarrassing!"

She pouted.

"Haha, what’s the big deal! Every young man and woman go through this process. When they find boyfriends later, won’t it be your turn to tease them?"

Li Jingsheng chuckled as he gently wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulder.

Perhaps the gesture was a bit too bold, as her body instantly became stiff, and her expression turned awkward and tense.

But she didn’t pull away.

Probably afraid that pulling away quickly would displease Li Jingsheng.

In this situation, she claimed to have been in a relationship before, but what kind of relationship was that?

Probably didn’t even hold hands with another guy.

Li Jingsheng, having lived with a girlfriend before, was already experienced.

Realizing her embarrassment and unease, he didn’t push further. Instead, he gently patted her shoulder and then withdrew his hand.

"What shall we eat tonight? Are we going to the hospital cafeteria or eating out?"

"Let’s not go to the hospital cafeteria! Many colleagues from the hospital know me, and before we take a few bites, it’s the strange stares that would fill me up."

She was evidently not used to appearing in public with her boyfriend under the gaze of acquaintances, fearing ridicule.

"Alright, your call!"

Li Jingsheng definitely respected her choice.

Since it was a date, it was important to consider the girl’s feelings and not make her unhappy.

"I know a small stall near the hospital that sells buns, and they’re really tasty. Come on, I’ll treat you to some buns, and then you treat me to milk tea."

As they exited the elevator, she grabbed Li Jingsheng’s hand and moved forward.

But when the security guard at the door glanced over, she quickly let go of Li Jingsheng’s hand.

This little girl, why care so much about others’ opinions?

Li Jingsheng smiled inwardly.

Girlfriends are nurtured over time; by holding her hand more frequently in public, she’ll gradually get used to it.

No rush, take it slow.

Actually, they had already held hands the first time they met.

Li Jingsheng had clasped her hand tightly, assisted her, and escorted her all the way home.

That was before. If it were now, with Li Jingsheng’s bone-setting skills, he could have treated her issue in minutes.

Of course, if given a choice again, he might not treat her, despite having the skills.

Otherwise, how would their fates have coincided?

Only through more interactions can the sparks of love ignite.

The two bought buns and milk tea and ate as they walked.

It was clear she thoroughly enjoyed strolling with Li Jingsheng.

Women seem to love shopping.

Shopping has an allure to them that is no less than that of a boyfriend.

"Let’s catch a cab to the clinic! You can rest there while I discuss the shop’s lease renewal with the landlady."

Li Jingsheng suggested to her.

"Okay!"

She nodded obediently.

Although their walk together was brief, it made her feel especially joyful.

The two hailed a taxi and naturally sat in the back seat.

Nibbling on the buns and sipping their milk teas.

In such a situation, there’s no need for excessive conversation; silence itself is a kind of happiness.

Because the journey wasn’t far, the taxi took less than ten minutes to drop them off at the clinic entrance.

"No wonder you looked familiar! You’re Dr. Li from Sunshine Clinic!"

The taxi driver, in his forties, had a sun-tanned complexion from driving for long hours.

As Li Jingsheng settled the bill, the driver glanced at the Sunshine Clinic nearby and immediately recognized him.

"Haha, you know me! Would you like to come in for a drink of water?"

Li Jingsheng warmly invited the taxi driver.

Truth be told, he didn’t recognize him.

"No need, no need, I’m working the late shift today, just swapped my shift and need to make more runs. Last week, my mother-in-law got sick, and the treatment at your clinic was excellent. The medicine you prescribed was much better than the IV treatments at other clinics."

Speaking of this, the taxi driver looked at Li Jingsheng with respect and gratitude.

Doctors have high social status because they save lives and heal others, earning respect through their work.

Nowadays, some young doctors, relying on their high education, don’t even treat patients like humans, adopting a superior attitude. This actually reflects a lack of medical ethics education.

"There’s no need to fear IV treatments; if a severe illness occurs, they’re still necessary. Take care!"

After settling the bill, Li Jingsheng waved to the taxi driver.

Standing beside him, Ou Qinglan looked at him with admiration twinkling in her eyes.

"Our Dr. Li is something, huh? Not only is he praised everywhere at the Second Hospital, but even the patients at your clinic commend you!"

Seeing her boyfriend’s excellence, she felt as if she’d drunk sweet honey, beaming with joy.

"Do you know what this means?"

Li Jingsheng asked her seriously.

"What?"

"It means Dr. Ou has great taste in choosing a reliable boyfriend!"

Ou Qinglan, hearing this, burst into laughter, her body shaking with joy.

"Haha... You’re just full of yourself! But honestly, I love watching you when you’re smug."

Being with Li Jingsheng made her feel especially happy.

This is a very good sign.

It means they’re compatible together.
