Chapter 110 Until one day on the way back to school…

"Wen Han, here you go."

Wen Han was applying an ice pack to her ankle. She was so unlucky; she twisted her ankle while jogging because she was distracted.

Rong Jun chose volleyball this semester, just like Wen Han, so he brought Wen Han to the infirmary: "Let's get a CT scan later, just in case it's a fracture."

With so many classes this semester, if I break my bone and have to stay in bed for over a month, I'll probably be doomed for finals. Wen Han sighed, but the doctor glanced at her and said, "You don't have a fracture."

I'm a little disappointed for some reason.

Even without a broken bone, he walked with a limp. Seeing how miserable he was, Rong Jun told Wen Han to eat the same food as him, and bought an extra portion of food for himself.

Rong Jun recently had a sore mouth, so he ate very healthily. In this way, Wen Han also lived a very healthy life for half a month, and her mouth was so bland.

"Host, come have some barbecue as soon as your foot is healed."

A plate of golden, glistening roasted pork belly was still sizzling. Wen Han said, "I have a broken bone, not a cold. Why should I avoid certain foods?"

Wen Han fell silent after taking a bite. He had been eating bland food lately, and even the grilled meat skewers tasted too salty to him.

Besides diet, Wen Han has recently encountered another problem.

The group leader Wen Han was assigned to was named Jiang Kuo. He was indeed very capable, but perhaps because he had been a genius for so long, he couldn't understand how the brains of people less capable than him worked.

He even frowned at the legitimate college students from Linjin under his command, and treated Wen Han as if she were an unintelligent monkey.

Explaining that Wen Han was still a freshman was impossible, because some of the questions were "clearly learned in freshman year." Coupled with knowing Wen Han's special abilities, Jiang Kuo quickly guessed that Wen Han had entered through special admissions.

Perhaps it's because one shouldn't expect more from monkeys than from humans, Wen Han was frowned at by the other party relatively few times. It's just a pity for the other senior students under him; they are clearly classmates, but they are treated like superiors.

There was only one piece of pineapple left. The senior student handed over the cup, gesturing for Wen Han to eat it. This pineapple cost thirty yuan and was only the size of a small milk tea can. It was sweet and juicy, and chewing it felt like drinking fruit juice.

Wen Han shook her head, her eyes filled with sympathy: "Senior, you eat it."

The senior student was actually quite smart. He was still a resident trainee, yet he had to work as Jiang Kuo's assistant. Who could blame him when Jiang Kuo was so young and so capable? That's just how cruel the world is.

As soon as Wen Han saw her senior walk into the rest room with his head down, she knew he had been scolded again on the operating table, either for being too slow or for not following regulations.

"It's okay," Wen Han comforted her. "I've seen many interns who go into the operating room get scolded. Don't be nervous; the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."

Jiang Kuo rarely rested; at most, he would lean against the wall, close his eyes, and rest for a short while before going back to work. Wen Han even suspected he was a robot.

This made it convenient for them to rest in the lounge; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to run into Jiang Kuo, and they couldn't very well shed tears in front of him.

It wasn't really a reprimand; Jiang Kuo wouldn't yell at people like other doctors. He simply pointed out their mistakes.

"It's not because I was upset by what they said," the senior student said, covering his face with his hands. "It's because I feel the gap between us is too big. We're about the same age, how come they never make a mistake..."

It's enough to make someone with a strong sense of self-respect feel bad if they are publicly told what they did wrong by a classmate who is younger than them and acts coldly towards them.

Wen Han remained silent, unsure of what to say. Even though Senior Cousin was a top student who graduated from Linjin University, he must have been an outstanding individual admired by his peers since childhood. For him, it was just that someone even more capable had appeared. This was something Wen Han couldn't understand, after all, there were many people with better grades than him.

Wen Han had long since developed an iron-like skin, which is why Jiang Kuo said that Wen Han had an excellent mentality and never shed tears, even though he had never been in the operating room, only making rounds and assisting.

Things took a turn one afternoon.

*

Wen Han was looking at the newborn baby, chattering away with the system as she looked.

“This one is the prettiest,” Wen Han said. “It looks like a little angel. That one won’t do. It looks too adult, all wrinkled like an old man.”

“Host,” the system said righteously, “they are still babies; we can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“The world is cruel. Looks are either there or they aren’t,” Wen Han said. “Look at that guy who looks like an old man. He looks exactly like the father-in-law of the child’s father. The pregnant man didn’t even want to breastfeed him, okay? He almost got postpartum depression.”

Looking at these tiny babies, as light as feathers, Wen Han didn't want to leave even more. If only she could just look after the babies and not have to do any work, that would be wonderful.

"Wen Han!" the senior called out to him softly, his tone anxious.

"What's wrong?"

"Jiang Kuo asked me to help you get ready; you're going into the operating room."

"Huh?" It was one thing to comfort his miserable senior verbally, but when it came to actually putting Wen Han in the operating room, he was a little flustered. He had only learned so little, and he would be lectured from beginning to end.

The procedure for entering the operating room wasn't taught in the first year, so I could only rely on the guidance of the senior student, who looked like he had a stomachache.

Forced into the operating room, Wen Han was initially worried about what would happen if something went wrong, but he realized he was overthinking it after entering the operating room.

This pregnant woman, who is about to give birth, has a rather complicated situation. She has developed pheromone imbalance during her pregnancy and can only be exposed to her husband's pheromones. She will have a very severe rejection reaction to other people's pheromones, so all the doctors assigned to her are Beta.

Originally, thanks to the medical isolation and suppression patch specially developed by the Jing family, there wouldn't have been any problems staying in a special isolation ward. However, since her husband's pheromones were needed for childbirth, the suppression patch had to be removed.

However, due to pheromone imbalance and the lengthy production process, Alphas cannot continuously emit pheromones. Therefore, specialized instruments are needed to collect the pheromones, and controlling the amount emitted becomes a problem.

Simply put, it's like an air conditioner; you turn it down when you're hot and up when you're cold. This machine works the same way. When a pregnant woman can't stand it anymore, it releases more pheromones; when she's feeling well, it turns it down to avoid affecting the delivery process.

Originally, the nurses were responsible for observing and adjusting the pregnant woman's condition, but now that Wen Han is here, he has come in handy.

Being far from the operating table, and only needing to make adjustments based on the pregnant woman's pheromones, his job was already considered easy.

The entire labor process was lengthy, lasting several hours. Wen Han was so nervous that she stood still the whole time, afraid to move. Her nerves were constantly on edge, focused on the mother's condition. Her hand was raised, not daring to let it fall, and she kept adjusting the button until her muscles ached.

His head was buzzing after the surgery.

"Go and rest," Jiang Kuo nodded. "You've worked hard today."

Without being told, Wen Han sat down in the chair. She glanced at Jiang Kuo, who seemed completely unfazed and went back to his work. She heard he had two more surgeries to perform.

From then on, Wen Han felt only admiration for Jiang Kuo.

*

The weather was still freezing cold, and Wen Han's fingers were always red from the cold when she went to the hospital. When Jiang Kuo saw this, he asked, "Did you come by electric scooter?"

"Um."

“I drove here,” Jiang Kuo said. “Anyway, I know when you come to the hospital, so come with me next time.”

"Oh? Thank you." I didn't expect Jiang Kuo to be such a nice person.

"Host," the system said, "he's not pursuing you, is he?"

Wen Han was eating a sandwich when she almost choked: "How could that be? Look how focused he is on his work. Besides, he's so outstanding. If he wanted to date, he would have done it already."

He's good-looking, highly educated, and capable. If he's single and looking for a relationship, there must be something wrong with him. But based on Wen Han's interactions over this period, the only problem seems to be his aloofness.

Then it couldn't be that she's interested in him.

"Besides," Wen Han stuffed the plastic bag into the gap of the garbage bag, "why isn't it because he appreciates my talent? Maybe I'll be his colleague in the future, and we'll be working together, so he's being nice to me. Can't you think it's because my outstanding abilities impressed him?"

"This," the system muttered, "isn't this a bit too much to ask of the system?"

Wen Han was really angry at it.

When Chu Ji came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, Wen Han naturally accompanied him in order to show off her abilities.

Before leaving, Chu Ji gave him a bag of exquisite Western-style pastries to share with his fellow interns.

"Wow!" During lunch at the cafeteria, the senior student exclaimed excitedly, "Wen Han, is that person your relative? She's so pretty!"

"Yes, she's beautiful and gentle, always smiling at us interns, and has excellent taste in clothing."

Their discussion greatly satisfied Wen Han's vanity.

Jiang Kuo also came to eat, and Wen Han felt a little guilty, since Zhao Kuo could see Chu Ji's information.

Although Chu Ji's pregnancy was out of necessity, in the eyes of ordinary people, it's easy to think bad things about someone who gets pregnant in college, and Wen Han couldn't explain it to Chu Ji.

"Is that your brother?" Jiang Kuo suddenly asked on the way back to school.

"Oh, you could say that. He was my senior in high school."

To punish the system, Wen Hanren didn't touch the exquisite Western-style pastries he had received that afternoon, no matter how much the system begged him. The system, still harboring resentment, murmured, "I thought you considered him your sister-in-law, host."

Jiang Kuo glanced at the rearview mirror: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Seriously, system!

Jiang Kuo said, "Your senior is a very good Omega."

Jiang Kuo didn't say anything more. While Chu Ji was at the hospital, she received a phone call. During the conversation, Jiang Kuo learned that the Omega in front of him had actually bought a house and was living with her husband.

Wen Han breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think that Jiang Kuo was a good person.

——

"Why are you here?" Wen Han asked, puzzled when she saw Wen Qingke standing before her.

Could it be that Wen Qingke is sick? How could that be? How could the Wen family's genes be diseased! Wen Han doesn't have much to brag about, but good health is one of them.

Wen Qingke was carrying several bags of chicken neck bones, the aroma of fried food wafting through the air: "A friend of mine is sick and hospitalized, so I came to visit. Aren't you interning here? I just fried some chicken neck bones for you and everyone else to eat together."

Wen Han was furious: "If someone wants to eat, can't they order it themselves? Why do you have to fawn over them?"

He didn't want everyone to know that his father was currently frying chicken collarbones, so he urged Wen Qingke to leave quickly.

"Wen Han!" Senior Brother Can happened to pass by. He was following behind Jiang Kuo and probably had just finished his work.

The senior student asked, "Hey, is this your dad?"

"Um."

"It smells so good," said the senior student. "Your dad even brought you food. I haven't had this in ages."

Seeing that he was hungry, Wen Han had no choice but to say, "Take one bag. It was originally a gift for you."

Jiang Kuo glanced at Wen Han.

Everyone was hungry in the afternoon, and college students were especially craving something sweet. Suddenly, a few bags of fried chicken neck bones appeared. After pretending to decline, they honestly accepted them with a smile. However, they were still embarrassed and said they would treat everyone next time, and that Wen Han must come.

Wen Han was initially angry, but seeing how happy they were, she figured she might as well eat some, so she picked one up and started munching on it.

If Wen Qingke had opened a chain fried food shop instead of a roadside stall, the experience would be completely different. Wen Han sullenly gnawed on a chicken collarbone.

Jiang Kuo didn't go with them. Since they were giving her a ride and there was no money for gas, Wen Han took a bag of chicken neck bones to Jiang Kuo and asked him if he wanted some.

"Thank you." Jiang Kuo smiled when he saw the chicken collarbone. Wen Han thought he wouldn't eat fried food.

“I still miss it a bit,” Jiang Kuo said. “When I was in elementary school, my dad set up a fried food stall next to my school. I would wait for him after school, and he would fry a sausage for me.”

Wen Han looked up at him. If Wen Qingke had set up a fried food stall next to her school when she was in elementary school, she would have made a huge fuss and cried, afraid that her classmates would recognize him as her father.

Sigh, people realize the gap when they compare themselves to others. Wen Han could blame her family for her better family background, but with Jiang Kuo, she had no room for excuses.

Thinking about this, he felt that Jiang Kuo was really amazing. The two of them had become much closer through their conversations.

The only flaw Wen Han felt Jiang Kuo had was his prejudice against Omegas.

Jiang Kuo thought Omega was lazy and lacked independent consciousness, but he was very kind to Chu Ji. This obviously had little to do with appearance. Wen Han could tell that Jiang Kuo genuinely thought Chu Ji was a good person.

He could only attribute the reason to the fact that Jiang Kuo might have encountered an Omega with exceptionally bad character, which led to his prejudice against the entire Omega community, just as he himself had prejudice against the Alpha community.

Aside from that, Jiang Kuo is a very good person. After all, he didn't let prejudice affect his work, and he was very dedicated to treating Omega patients.

One day, on his way back to school, Jiang Kuo confessed his feelings to him.

Author's Note: I changed Zhao Kuo to Jiang Kuo. After searching, I realized Zhao Kuo was the protagonist of the TV series "Talking About War on Paper"... No wonder he looked so familiar! [rainbow fart]
