Chapter 67 She's acting strangely today.
noon.
The three-hour surgery has ended.
Professor Sun took off his scrubs, took a shower in the bathroom, and when he came out, he saw Lin Ran sitting in a chair. He smiled and said:
"How was your first time seeing surgery up close?"
"Hmm... I have mixed feelings."
Lin Ran recalled the scene he had just witnessed: everyone in the operating room held their breath as X-rays were taken, surgery was performed, an electrocautery knife cut through the skin, the air was filled with the smell of burning flesh, and the sounds of hammers, drills, and clanging filled the air.
If a carpenter transforms a log into practical furniture, then an orthopedic surgeon uses knives, hammers, and drills to restore every deformed or broken bone to its original shape.
"You have a good mental fortitude," Professor Sun said with a smile. "When I was a senior in college, I went to the operating table for the first time and observed orthopedic surgery up close. I was so disgusted that I almost threw up."
"I'm still far from good enough. My senior brothers and sisters are already able to help me, but I can't do anything yet," Lin Ran shook his head.
"Take it one step at a time, don't rush." Professor Sun patted his shoulder and left chatting and laughing with the head of anesthesiology who had just come out of the bathroom.
Lin Ran quickly tidied herself up, took off her scrubs, changed back into her own clothes, and went back to the inpatient building.
Professor Sun's three students are resident physicians undergoing standardized residency training.
The boy's name is Zhang Wang, and the two girls, the one with the round face is Fang Xiao and the one with the pointed chin is Lin Ziyi. They're nice people.
Zhang Wang and Fang Xiao graduated from the same school. Initially, they were just work friends, but their relationship gradually developed into something more than friends but less than lovers. Lin Ziyi is a fan of shipping (or rather, shipping) these two and enjoys it immensely.
Lin Ran arrived at the doctor's office. There was less work at noon. The patient who had just undergone surgery was still under anesthesia and had been handed over to the nurses for care. After waking up, the patient would need to have measurements taken.
Zhang Wang and Fang Xiao each carried a bucket of instant noodles in. Seeing Lin Ran writing a medical record, they said:
"Junior brother, take a break. You can write those things this afternoon."
"Okay, almost done... all done."
Lin Ran saved the completed medical record in the hospital system and stretched.
Zhang Wang sat down: "Junior brother, do you know what I heard when I passed by the men's restroom just now?"
"What?"
"One of the attending physicians praised you for being efficient and quick learners, especially in writing medical records. They wanted you to stay on, but Professor Sun said you're only a freshman and can't be rushed." Zhang Wang slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles. "Professor Sun has high hopes for you."
Fang Xiao rolled her eyes: "Of course, do you think everyone is like you, taking the postgraduate entrance exam twice before finally getting in?"
"Thank goodness I made it ashore, otherwise I would have started a world war. Ah~ I want to eat noodles~"
"Then you eat it~"
"I want to eat your noodles~"
"Okay, okay, come on, I'll feed you!"
"Ouch, it's burning me! I won't do it again!"
There was a small lounge in the office where the two of them would hide and eat noodles and joke around, which was a fun little interlude in their boring residency training life.
"Junior, what do you want to eat? Let's order takeout." Lin Ziyi stepped on the table leg and moved her chair next to him.
"I'm fine with whatever you order, senior sister. I don't have any dietary restrictions."
"Oh~ you're shy~" Lin Ziyi smiled and poked his cheek. "Don't mind me. Although my salary is only 800 a month, after deducting rent, utilities and living expenses, I still have to ask my family for 1,000 or 2,000. But I still have a little bit of savings. If I grit my teeth, I can afford to eat takeout."
"It seems my senior sister unintentionally said something terrifying..."
Lin Ran twitched the corner of her mouth.
I'd heard it before that newly graduated medical students are like nuclear-powered donkeys at the hospital, but with a monthly salary of 800 yuan, even donkeys can't get enough to eat.
Lin Ziyi sighed and put her hands behind her head:
"There's nothing I can do. Studying medicine is great in every way, except it doesn't pay. I just have to endure it. I'm lucky. Those nursing interns outside not only don't get paid, but they also have to pay the hospital for their internship fees."
"..."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about sad things anymore. There are so many suffering patients in the hospital, it's no big deal if I don't make any money. Junior brother, hurry up and choose, I'll place the order once you've picked it out."
Lin Ziyi handed him the phone.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lin Ran felt it would be inappropriate to turn down the offer again. Just as she was about to pick out some inexpensive dishes, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
dong dong dong~
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Lin Ziyi asked instinctively when she heard the knock on the door.
She mentally reviewed the patients' information from lunchtime that day. They should have all been dealt with before lunchtime, so why were there still patients coming?
Is the leg in bed 3 hurting again?
Is bed 15 due for infrared therapy?
Is it time to remove the stitches from bed 21? It doesn't seem like it's time yet.
A young woman with a high ponytail stood at the office door. She had a good figure and a beautiful face. She seemed a little reserved in the unfamiliar environment. She was carrying a thermal lunchbox in both hands and seemed to be looking for something after she came in.
She spotted a figure, her uneasy eyes instantly brightened, and she skipped over, slapping the figure on the shoulder:
"Lin Ran, I'm here!"
"???"
Lin Ran looked up and met Su Lingle's carefully made-up smiling face, her mind filled with questions.
Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes and teased, "No wonder Junior Brother didn't want to eat takeout. So someone delivered food to him. Poor me, all alone, with no one to care for me or love me."
Su Lingle reacted quickly, smiling as she said to Lin Ziyi, "Hello, Senior Sister."
"Oh, hello you too," Lin Ziyi asked. "Are you the junior's... you know?"
"Yes, that's the one."
"Oh, that's what it was. No wonder."
"Hehe, that's the one."
Two girls held hands and swayed up and down, creating a joyful and harmonious scene.
Lin Ran's lips twitched. "So which one is which? Please, you two, be clear. Don't be riddle-makers."
Lin Ziyi said, "Junior brother, you go to the lounge with her for lunch. I'll cover here. There's nothing to do at noon, so don't worry."
"...Okay, thank you, senior sister."
Lin Ran got up and walked towards the lounge. After taking two steps, he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw Su Lingle still standing there, her head turned to one side, her left hand waving up and down casually, as if extending an invitation to someone.
What a little devil!
Lin Ran walked back, grabbed her swaying left hand, and went into the lounge.
Su Lingle smiled, feeling that she had Lin Ran under her control, and was extremely happy.
Lin Ziyi watched the whole thing:
"Great, everyone has a partner, and I'm all alone, so... 'Love of Light and Night,' start! Honey, here I come!"
lounge.
Zhang Wang, Fang Xiao, Lin Ran, and Su Lingle looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Wow, what a beautiful woman!" Zhang Wang exclaimed.
Fang Xiao stomped on his foot, and Zhang Wang let out a scream.
"We've just finished eating, junior brother, why don't you and this person... um, eat together?"
After saying that, Fang Xiao, with a dark face, dragged Zhang Wang out and closed the door behind him.
Only two people remained in the lounge.
Lin Ran felt a headache coming on: "Su Lingle, what exactly are you...?"
"I don't like the feeling of being alone at home, like I've been abandoned by you, so I thought I'd make lunch and come find you to eat with me."
Su Lingle lowered her head, opened the lunchbox, took out two small bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks, and laid out the dishes, all of which she had made herself. She looked up, her expression somewhat uneasy.
"I know I'm acting strange... but these used to be your favorite foods. I don't know if your tastes have changed, so... shall we eat?"
