Chapter 43: Heart-to-Heart

Let's go to Gangcheng together when we have time.

This year, the Spring Festival fell relatively late. After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Awakening of Insects was not far off. But there were benefits too. The long, cold winter had almost ended before the Spring Festival. After the festival, both in terms of climate and weather, it felt like spring had arrived, with grass growing and orioles flying.

But seasonal changes were not obvious in a city like Xinhai. After all, this place lived up to its nickname among the public—magical and bizarre to the point where you could experience all four seasons in a single day, a truly unique experience.

Yun Dan took the high-speed train back to Hangxiang on the last day of the holiday. She said she wouldn't worry about Old Meng, since the hospital had a cafeteria and he wouldn't starve. But complaints aside, she had been away for less than a week, yet she couldn't help mentioning him from time to time. She said Old Meng was getting old, his eating was irregular, his stomach was bad, he had high blood pressure and always forgot to take his medicine, and she didn't know if he would iron his shirts after washing them.

Jiang Ruoqi didn't dare to comment sharply. But she privately thought that regardless of gender, when there was someone to rely on, people would say they couldn't learn, but when there was no one to rely on, even if they didn't know how, they would learn. However, Jiang Ruoqi didn't insist on keeping Yun Dan. Everyone has their own way of life—one person's honey is another's poison; you can't take things for granted.

Moreover, unfinished work after the New Year had to be picked up. Regardless of season or weather, it didn't affect the daily grind of office workers.

Let's not even mention Meng Shang. He had been working since the third day of the New Year with almost no rest. Especially during a few night shifts, he always encountered multiple emergency consultations and surgeries. Every day brought new troubles. Gu Huai joked that fortunes had reversed; the God of Night Shifts had shown special favor to Dr. Meng, who was smug in love, at the start of the new year. Meng Shang tacitly admitted to being lucky in love, but he wouldn't let Gu Huai turn things upside down. After all, the guy's four-year residency was ending this year, and he had to take the attending physician qualification exam, as well as a paper requirement for hospital evaluation. Every day, he wanted to cling to Meng Shang's leg and beg him to read his paper. So Dr. Meng used the paper to command little Gu, and Dr. Gu could only willingly volunteer to work shifts with Meng Shang, jointly enduring the wrath of the God of Night Shifts on sweet love.
