All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
When Rong Sheng heard Rong Mu's words, she suddenly felt a headache coming on, because she couldn't go home to rest and could only rest in the clinic. The patients hadn't left yet, and she needed to keep an eye on the patients who had undergone surgery. She was simply overwhelmed.
Seeing Shu Qingyan's inquisitive eyes gave her a headache, but Shu Qingyan's headache was short-lived; Rong Mu was the real problem.
"Third Brother, I can't go home to rest tonight, so you should go home and rest by yourself." Rong Sheng didn't want to be a person who broke his promise, nor did he want to be an irresponsible doctor to his patients, so he had no choice but to refuse Rong Mu.
Upon hearing this, Rong Mu's face turned extremely ugly: "Shengbao! Huimin Medical Clinic has plenty of doctors, and their medical skills are no less than yours. With them watching over you, what are you worried about? So now you come home with me to rest!"
"Third Brother..."
Rong Sheng wanted to use her charm and cuteness to get Rong Mu to agree, but Rong Mu had a cold face and showed no sign of softening. He even interrupted Rong Sheng directly: "My parents asked me to take care of you, so I must take good care of you! My father asked you to practice medicine and save lives at Huimin Medical Clinic, not for you to work hard and suffer there."
"Third Brother, listen to me first..." Before she could finish speaking, Rong Mu interrupted her again: "Shengbao, you're a girl. People will talk if a girl comes home too late. Even if you treat patients and save lives at Huimin Medical Clinic, gossip is a powerful thing! Third Brother has to work at Xiaoxiang Pavilion during the day and really can't take care of you. I can't even take care of your three meals a day. So it's already dark, so just listen to Third Brother, get some rest, and come back to treat them tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Third Brother, I understand your good intentions completely, but I really can't leave..." In order to make Rong Mu understand the unexpected events that would occur after she left, as well as the trouble and harm that such events would bring to the patient, Rong Sheng pulled Rong Mu into the ward.
She patiently explained to Rong Mu what intravenous infusion and surgery meant, as well as what the doctor needed to do after the surgery. These patients were all treated today, and their conditions had not yet stabilized, so they needed to be observed. Therefore, Rong Sheng could not leave at this critical juncture.
After hearing Rong Sheng's explanation, Rong Mu was no longer as angry as before.
While he could understand it, he still didn't want Rong Sheng to suffer here and be unable to sleep.
"Third Brother, it's not that I don't want to go back with you, but I really can't. You've seen it yourself, the patients need me! And only I can do these things. Doctor Shu Qingyan and the other female doctors or medical students can't take over for me. It's because their treatment methods are different from mine."
But don't worry, I'll use this time to teach them. Once they've learned, I'll have time to rest. So now you should go back and rest. I won't tell Mom and Dad about this. If they find out and cause you trouble, I'll speak up for you!
Rong Sheng spoke kindly to Rong Mu, hoping that he would behave and go back to rest.
However, Rong Mu insisted, "Shengbao, since you're here, then your third brother will stay here too. I'll just have to make do in the ward for one night. I must stay by your side!"
Rong Sheng: "...The ward is for patients, not for us!"
Rong Mu: "Third brother won't sleep in the ward, he'll just make a makeshift bed in the lobby. In short, third brother will stay with you!"
System: "Master, your third brother suffered some injustice at Su Wenxian's place, which is why he insists that you go home to rest. He just wants to find some comfort from you."
Rong Sheng: "Damn system, why didn't you say so sooner?" If she had known, she would have been more tactful in her words.
But she really couldn't leave. Rong Sheng didn't want her third brother to go back like this, so she asked Rong Mu to wait a while while she checked on the surgical patient. If she could leave, she would.
As for patients receiving intravenous infusions, their medication is almost gone, so they can just wait a little while.
Rong Mu's expression softened a bit, and he immediately became obedient, quietly waiting for Rong Sheng on the side.
After seeing that the matter between Rong Mu and Rong Sheng had been resolved, Shu Qingyan quickly followed Rong Sheng: "Dr. Rong Sheng, I am very interested in your medical techniques. Would you be willing to give me a little time to satisfy my curiosity? I really want to know how you treated Xing Jun and the other patients? I just examined them, and their illnesses are gone. With proper care, they will be fine, so..."
“Dr. Shu Qingyan, I completely understand your thoughts, but I really don’t have time to talk to you about this right now. As you can see, my third brother told me to go home and rest…” Rong Sheng turned her head and glanced at the quiet Rong Mu. Seeing that he hadn’t followed, she quietly said to Shu Qingyan, “If Dr. Shu is willing to wait, I will come over after my third brother falls asleep. Then we can have a proper discussion about my treatment methods, okay?”
Shu Qingyan's dark eyes lit up: "As long as Doctor Rong Sheng is willing to answer my questions, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes!"
Rong Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Shu. I'd also appreciate it if Dr. Shu could keep an eye on the post-operative patients for me!"
“Absolutely no problem! I heard everything you told them before, so Dr. Rong Sheng, please rest assured.”
Even so, Rong Sheng still spoke to Shu Qingyan again about the condition of the three post-operative patients, and what to do if unexpected things happened.
Because she wouldn't be back anytime soon, the only option was for Shu Qingyan to keep an eye on things. With him watching over her, Rong Sheng would feel more at ease, and the patient and their family would also feel more at ease. After all, Shu Qingyan's medical skills were excellent and recognized by everyone.
Shu Qingyan kept Rong Sheng's words firmly in mind, and then waited with Rong Sheng for the patient to receive the IV drip. After the IV drip was finished, Rong Sheng explained some medical knowledge related to IV drips to Shu Qingyan. Since there was a patient available, Rong Sheng gave Shu Qingyan some guidance. As for how much Shu Qingyan understood, Rong Sheng didn't know.
Even if they knew, there was no way to continue explaining. The IV drip had already finished, so they removed the needles, told the patients they needed to come back for another drip the next day, and then had the medical assistants take them home.
If it's too far from home, you can stay at their clinic for now and leave after you finish your IV drip tomorrow.
Rong Mu watched silently as Rong Sheng busied himself with the patient, his mouth constantly uttering words he couldn't understand at all. He wanted to help, but he didn't know how.
After finally waiting for Rong Sheng to finish seeing off the patient receiving the IV drip, he couldn't wait to grab Rong Sheng's arm and say, "Sheng Bao, let's go home."
"Okay!" Rong Sheng had already made the arrangements and readily agreed.
