Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1974: Tail Tracking

Teacher Ren and Senior Zhu have a special fondness for that shop. It’s said that some seniors are old acquaintances with the shop owner.

Turns out she’s heading to that shop for noodles. A shadow briefly crossed Shim Youhuan’s confident gaze, and he slightly smiled: Junior Sister is a smart and astute person, and most admirably, she is considerate. Understanding people are welcomed wherever they go.

"Goodbye." Shim Youhuan never joked about such things and turned to find his car.

Cao Yong held the steering wheel, and upon hearing her say that she was going to the shop for lunch, a gentle light rippled in his eyes like waves on a lake.

Like last time when he received the candy she gave him, a warm breeze passed through his heart.

There’s no need for special greetings when arriving at a familiar shop.

Knowing their taste well, the owner prepared their steaming signature beef noodles with extra cilantro and pepper, adding beef tripe besides the beef slices.

The fragrant bowl of noodles warmed them up like lighting a fire during winter, leaving them feeling invigoratingly warm.

After the meal, the owner served them a plate of fruit salad.

Cao Yong went to pay the bill, standing by the counter to chat with the owner for a while.

Once Senior finished paying, Xie Wanying ate fruit while gazing at Senior and the owner’s figures in the distance. Judging by appearances, the owner and Senior are about the same age. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The next morning, Doctor Hu was called alone to the director’s office.

The news hadn’t spread yet. When Doctor Hu came out of the director’s office, her steps appeared slightly faltering.

Seeing her state from afar, Zuo Liang worried that those who reported might get scolded by Doctor Hu and whispered to Student Xie: "From today, keep as far away from her as possible."

Actually, there was no need to deliberately avoid her. Doctor Hu was temporarily suspended that day and sent home. The director would temporarily replace Doctor Hu to manage her team. No one knew how long Doctor Hu stayed in her office or when she went home.

On her usual route to catch the bus after work, Xie Wanying saw Doctor Hu again.

Doctor Hu stood alone at the roadside, waiting for a taxi to slowly drive toward her.

Trusting her instincts, Xie Wanying called a taxi without much thought and followed behind Doctor Hu’s cab.

Unexpectedly, another taxi followed behind, with Shen Xifei inside.

Having not seen Doctor Hu at Beidou Third Hospital yesterday, Shen Xifei could only come again today. Before getting out of the car, she suddenly noticed Xie Wanying seemed to be tailing Doctor Hu, so Shen Xifei stayed in the car and asked the driver to follow.

Doctor Hu’s cab drove for two full hours, heading toward the Capital’s outskirts.

Winter nights fall early, and the sky was pitch black after seven, with nothing visible at arm’s length.

The vehicle moved into more remote areas, where the north wind blew bitterly cold.

The approaching depth of winter was genuinely cold.

Xie Wanying missed the beef noodles she had with Senior Cao last night.

In winter, the body’s energy consumption is high; following someone out impulsively without dinner leads to a grumbling stomach. Opening her backpack, Xie Wanying took out her packed biscuits and munched on her snack.

Those well-prepared are never afraid of going hungry.

Doctors should never let themselves go hungry because emergencies requiring them to save lives might arise at any moment.

Following behind them, Shen Xifei wasn’t as prepared as Xie Wanying and felt her stomach growl unbearably, pressing against her skin. She could only endure it.
