Chapter 184: Farewell to Childhood Friend [184]
Otherwise, how could the two of them become childhood friends, sharing the same concept of favoring males over females? In their place, such things are commonplace. Wu Lixuan thought to herself, “Highly educated people from big cities wouldn’t understand these matters.”
Wu Lixuan gulped down her porridge without saying a word.
“Do you two share the same secret?”
This voice? Wu Lixuan looked up and, sure enough, saw her childhood friend’s Senior Brother Huang, and exclaimed in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Standing behind Cao Yong, Huang Zhilei adjusted his glasses and replied, “Why can’t I be here?”
“She went to bring you clay pot rice,” Wu Lixuan said anxiously for her childhood friend.

“I was passing by, I didn’t know; I’ll eat it later when I get back to the duty room,” Huang Zhilei responded.
So this guy had just happened to pass by and overheard their conversation. Wu Lixuan turned her face away. She and Xie Wanying both hated when others dug into their secrets because they didn’t like to be pitied. Girls who had fought their way up on their own didn’t need the sympathy of others.
Seeing Wu Lixuan’s odd expressions, Cao Yong thought about her recently reddened eyes and was sure something must have happened to her. Meanwhile, Xie Wanying, who had gone to deliver clay pot rice to Senior Brother Huang, received another call from Senior Cao.
“Return to the department in a couple of days. I’ll be at work then, and I promised to teach you how to suture.”
“Thank you, Senior Cao.”
After a couple of days, having administered the injection and her fever gone without further issues, Wu Lixuan had to return to her hometown to work.
Xie Wanying accompanied her to the train station, and the two embraced when they parted.
“I’ll come to see you when I have time,” Wu Lixuan said to her childhood friend, “This time around, knowing you’re busy being a doctor, it’s easier for me to come to you than for you to find me.”
Xie Wanying felt guilty at heart; her friend had come, and she hadn’t been able to properly show her around the Capital.
“It’s all my fault for not being used to the north, falling sick and not having fun – it’s nothing to do with you.” After saying this, Wu Lixuan grabbed her hand and furrowed her brows, wondering if she should tell her what Senior Cao had asked her in private.
“Is there something you want to say?” Xie Wanying, sensing her friend had something hidden, asked.
The train ticket check commenced. “It’s nothing,” Wu Lixuan turned around, picked up her luggage, took a couple of steps, then turned back and said to her, “Senior Cao is a good person.”
Sister that he is indeed. Xie Wanying smiled.
Unsure whether her childhood friend had grasped the underlying meaning of her words, and uncertain about what to say, Wu Lixuan headed toward the ticket gate.
Standing on tiptoes, Xie Wanying watched as her best friend from childhood disappeared into the crowd, leaving her heart filled with a sense of loss. Her childhood friend’s visit had brought the warm breath of their hometown; the native soil is a unique sentiment that no one can abandon.
Do you miss home?
Quite, even though the teachers and classmates here are all very kind.
After seeing off her friend, Xie Wanying returned to her dorm to review her books. Tomorrow would be the sixth day, and she needed to go back to the neurosurgery internship. She had to make good use of her time. With classes starting in a couple of days, there wouldn’t be an opportunity to intern at the hospital like this for a while.
At Guoxie University Hospital, according to the holiday schedule, work would officially resume on the eighth day of the new year. However, being a doctor is different from other professions; someone still has to be on duty even during holidays.
On the sixth and seventh days, the staff from each department came back to work at different times according to their department’s requirements. In departments like neurosurgery, they needed to return on the sixth for rounds and to adjust their rest and work schedules. On the seventh, they would start performing surgeries that had been delayed due to the Spring Festival, and then it was back to the normal routine on the eighth.
Senior Brother had informed her that she should be back in the department before eight o’clock to prepare for the handover meeting.
After having breakfast and some exercise early in the morning, Xie Wanying arrived at the neurosurgery department before seven-thirty.
In the ward, doctors and nurses who had returned to work were busy scurrying around.
