Chapter 7 Opportunity

There were two girls of similar age standing in the office, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but they gave people different feelings.

The doctor who came for training was dressed simply, wearing a striped shirt and jeans, carrying a canvas bag, and had neat and tidy short hair that reached her shoulders. Her name was Ren Jie Ling.

A girl who had just finished graduate school, with medium-length curly hair tied into a high ponytail, wearing a white gauze one-shoulder miniskirt, and carrying Chanel's latest bag.

Zhou Jingzhan almost fainted when he saw her. Luo Zixi, a person who frightened him.

Seeing that Luo Zixi was about to come over, Zhou Jingzhan stopped her: "Stop, stand there, don't come over."

Luo Zixi stopped where he was and saw Chu Yunqi. He was a little surprised: "Brother Yunqi, you are here too!"

Chu Yunqi smiled at her and said in Zhou Jingzhan's ear: "I can't handle this girl, you do it, I'm leaving first." After that, he ran away without looking back.

Ren Jie Ling took the opportunity to introduce herself.

Zhou Jingzhan remained indifferent. "Our department is very busy, so I can't provide you with comprehensive assistance. However, if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time, and others can ask as well. In short, learning real things is the most important thing, no need for empty talk. Now, go back to the office and prepare for the ward rounds."

The two of them left at the same time, and then Zhou Jingzhan sprayed the house inside and out with disinfectant before he felt relieved. He opened the door and saw Luo Zixi standing by.

Zhou Jingzhan took a step back and took the initiative: "If you behave yourself in the future, we can live in peace. Otherwise, I will transfer you to the emergency room."

"Brother Jing Zhan, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Could you please not pour cold water on me right away?" Luo Zixi was very dissatisfied with him.

Zhou Jingzhan was not affected: "Before the time comes, go change your clothes quickly. Your skirt is too short and it's inconvenient for work. Also, don't call me brother in the hospital from now on."

It wasn't that he meant anything else. Zhou Jingzhan just felt that Luo Zixi, wearing luxury goods and calling him brother all the time, didn't fit in with his simple and unpretentious style.

Luo Zixi went shopping for clothes angrily.

Luo Zixi came back after checking the ward. Zhou Jingzhan had already gone into surgery. The office was empty. Chu Yunqi was eating a bag of potato chips. It wasn't that he was lazy, but the work Zhou Jingzhan assigned to him was too easy. However, he liked it very much.

Chu Yunqi glanced at her and said lazily, "Is this one different from the one you wore just now?"

Luo Zixi sat down next to him: "This is a long one. Where's Brother Jing Zhan?"

"Going into surgery."

"Oh." Luo Zixi slumped on the table in frustration: "Did I miss the chance to spend time with him?"

Chu Yunqi took a sip of soda and said earnestly, "Zixi, listen to my advice. There's no chance for you to be with him. Give up. What do you want from him? He's someone you can't touch."

"Then what do you want from him?" Luo Zixi asked back.

Chu Yunqi finished the last bite of potato chips: "You are different from me. He can accept me touching him, but you can't."

Luo Zixi stood up straight, his fighting spirit rekindled: "You broke up with him a long time ago, I still have a chance."

Chu Yunqi stood up and said with a smile: "Now, I'm going to the ward, you stay here by yourself."

The ward where the little girl who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot was staying had four beds. The first three tables Chu Yunqi walked past had more or less supplements on them, and there were family members around him.

Walking to the end, Chu Yunqi pulled open the curtain. There was a thin little girl lying on the hospital bed. Her hair was unkempt and a little messy, as if no one had taken care of her. There was a bowl of untouched porridge on the table. Chu Yunqi reached out and touched it, and it was already cold.

Perhaps she heard the noise, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes, and Chu Yunqi saw that her eyes changed from expectation to loss.

Chu Yunqi's expression couldn't be seen clearly due to the mask he wore, but his eyes were quite gentle: "Xinning, are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Xinning shook her head. Chu Yunqi checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Liu Xinning asked softly, "Doctor, have you seen my mother?"

There was no one waiting for surgery yesterday, let alone now. Chu Yunqi felt a pang of sadness in his heart and tried to make her feel better: "She went to see the doctor to ask about your condition. Where are your other family members?"

"My dad went to deliver food, and my grandparents are looking after my brother." Then, Liu Xinning said softly, "I'm a little thirsty."

Chu Yunqi's eyes were already sore when he said this, but he couldn't just turn around and leave, so he could only hold back his tears and feed her some water and porridge.

Liu Xinning finally smiled, not knowing how much bitterness was mixed in with her smile: "Thank you, brother. You are the first person besides my father who is willing to take care of me. Everyone else only likes my younger brother. They don't like me."

Chu Yunqi blinked his sore eyes and said, "No, you are so cute, how could mom and grandpa and grandma not like you? It's just that your brother is still young and needs more care."

After saying this, Chu Yunqi himself felt ridiculous. Three members of the family gathered around the same child, leaving another child who had just undergone heart surgery alone in the ward. It didn't make sense in any way.

The curtain was pulled open again. Chu Yunqi lowered his head and hastily wiped away the tears that were about to flow before turning back. It was Zhou Jingzhan.

Zhou Jingzhan glanced at him with a scrutinizing look: "Have you finished reading it?"

"I've finished reading it." Chu Yunqi's voice was a little hoarse.

"Let's go after we finish the visit." Zhou Jingzhan's tone brooked no refusal. He then said hello to Liu Xinning and dragged Chu Yunqi out of the ward and returned to his own office: "Why are you crying when you go to see her?"

Chu Yunqi knew he couldn't hide it from Zhou Jingzhan, so he could only make excuses for himself: "That child is so pitiful."

Zhou Jingzhan calmed down and said anxiously, "Whether she is pitiful or not has nothing to do with you. You don't need to shed tears. What you should do is to cure her illness and let her live a normal life."

Chu Yunqi's eyes were red after he entered the room. "When I went to see her, there was no one around her and she hadn't even eaten. She was only five years old. Who wouldn't feel sorry for her?"

"Oh my god." Zhou Jingzhan held his forehead with his hand. "You are a professor after all, how come your psychological endurance is still so poor?"

Chu Yunqi wiped his tears with a tissue: "I'll go find her mother."

Zhou Jingzhan pulled him back: "We've said everything we need to say. If the family members don't care, there's nothing we can do. Just take care of what you should do. You can show concern, but don't take it too seriously."

Chu Yunqi ignored him.

"Did you hear that?" Zhou Jingzhan was worried about him.

"I heard it."

Zhou Jingzhan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly an idea struck him: "Why don't you go to the emergency room for a few days to correct your condition."

Chu Yunqi glared at him and said, "Go if you want to."

Zhou Jingzhan finally remembered the important matter: "I'm going to the general surgery consultation, do you want to come?"

Chu Yunqi had no intention of going, and before he could say no, he was interrupted by a call from Zhou Jingzhan.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingzhan began to feel a little worried, but when he found Chu Yunqi standing in front of him, he quickly changed his mind: "Don't go, take someone to the emergency room."
