Jiangcheng People's Hospital

The operating room lights went out, and Wang Wenfeng took off his surgical gown and carefully performed postoperative disinfection. His movements were smooth and precise, just like his performance on the operating table.

The vice president of Jiangcheng People's Hospital came over in person to express his gratitude, shaking his hand and repeatedly saying, "Dr. Wang, we really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know if this surgery would have been successful, let alone completed so perfectly."

"You flatter me. Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty as doctors." Wang Wenfeng's tone was gentle, but it carried a deep sense of exhaustion. He had just finished a six-hour surgery and now all he wanted to do was lie in bed and rest.

Outside the operating room, Fang Yun watched Wang Feng emerge looking exhausted, and a wave of guilt washed over her. She took a few steps forward, her voice full of concern: "You said you came here on vacation, why are you working here too?"

As he spoke, he turned to the vice president beside him, his tone half-reminder and half-joking: "President, we have to make this clear, he's not a doctor in our hospital. This time it's a special case, but we can't 'conscript' him like this again in the future, okay?"

The vice president looked a little apologetic and quickly nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, we are extremely grateful to Dr. Wang for saving the day! The patient inside was in a really difficult situation. If we hadn't known that Dr. Wang happened to be in Jiangcheng, the consequences would have been unimaginable... Don't worry, Dr. Wang's vacation will definitely not be delayed! I have already arranged a simple meal so that Dr. Wang can at least rest and have something to eat."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun warmly and said, "Dr. Fang must come too. You've worked hard today."

Fang Yun glanced at Wang Wenfeng and noticed the resistance in his expression, so she refused on his behalf: "Go away, why are we being so formal? Xiaofeng is tired now, I'll take him back to rest."

Fang Yun has always been a person of her word, and even though he is the vice president, he cannot force her to do things she doesn't want to do. In addition, Dr. Wang was indeed tired, so they arranged to meet again next time.

Back home, Fang Yun arranged for Wang Wenfeng to stay in Xiao Cheng's bedroom and changed his sheets and blankets: "Xiao Feng, you can sleep here. You've worked hard this time, so get some rest."

Feeling somewhat apologetic, Wang Wenfeng stood at the door for a long time without going in: "Is this Xiao Cheng's room? If I stay here, where will he sleep?"

"What do you care about him? I'm his mother, do you think I'd leave him without a place to stay?" Fang Yun didn't say a word, directly pressing him down to sit on the edge of the bed. She turned around, rolled up Xiao Cheng's usual bedding, and carried it to the living room. While tidying up, she muttered, "He's young, he can sleep on two stools in the living room. You're different, you need to get enough sleep, who knows..."

She realized her words were inappropriate as soon as they were about to come out, quickly spat twice, and changed her tune with a smile: "You're here to have a good vacation, so you must get a good night's sleep!"

Fang Yun swallowed back what she was about to say. Although she didn't know what the flag was, doctors always believed in some superstitions.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window, just in time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Xiao Zhaoxing smiled and put a piece of food on his plate, jokingly saying, "Xiao Feng, I heard you were taken to the hospital for surgery right outside your door today?"

Before Wang Wenfeng could answer, Fang Yun gave him an annoyed look and continued, "It's his fault for not coming home yesterday and having to stay at the guesthouse."

"I was just thinking it was too late, and you were all resting, so I didn't want to disturb you." He was indeed being inconsiderate. Who knew that the guesthouse director was actually the wife of the vice president of the People's Hospital? She happened to be at the front desk when he registered, and that's how she got her attention.

"Brother, what about me? I don't get to rest until very late every day." Xiao Cheng rarely saw his cousin being teased by the whole family like this, so he couldn't help but laugh and chime in.

"Just eat your food!" Fang Yun directly picked up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks and put it in Xiao Cheng's bowl. "Even eating can't shut you up."

After dinner, Wang Wenfeng looked around the room and noticed the orchids on the balcony. He was quite surprised and said, "Auntie, you actually grow flowers now?"

"That was a gift from one of your aunt's close friends, she treasures it dearly," Fang Yun said as Xiao Zhaoxing explained to her while she washed dishes in the kitchen.

Wang Wenfeng walked closer to examine the flowers and couldn't help but exclaim, "These flowers... are really well grown. My mom used to tell me that my aunt was a plant 'killer,' saying that the only thing that would end up in her hands was withered branches and fallen leaves."

Xiao Zhaoxing laughed loudly: Hahaha, it's the same now. She's the best at growing potted plants. They're her treasures, rare varieties in the house!

Wang Wenfeng raised an eyebrow. So amazing? He leaned closer to examine it carefully. What was so magical about this potted plant?

"Hmm~ this orchid..." The more he looked at it, the more something seemed off. A guess popped into his mind, but he wasn't sure—could it really be that variety? But isn't that kind of orchid notoriously delicate and difficult to grow? Too much or too little water won't work, the temperature can't be too high or too low either. Even experts have to take great care of it. How could his aunt... actually be able to keep it alive?

Sensing the surprise in his tone, Xiao Zhaoxing assumed it was just curiosity: "This orchid was brought back from the countryside by that child as a gift; she dug it up herself on the mountain."

Wang Wenfeng immediately became interested: "Which mountain did you dig them up from? I'd like to dig up a few too."

Xiao Zhaoxing waved his hand and said readily, "If you like it, just take this pot with you when you leave. Your aunt will definitely be happy to."

Fang Yun came out of the kitchen carrying a fruit platter and immediately saw the two people surrounding her orchid. She quickly stepped forward like a protective mother: "What do you mean I'm willing? What are you doing surrounding my precious orchid? Get away, get away, your breath is too polluting, don't contaminate it."

Wang Wenfeng suppressed a laugh and deliberately told me in a serious tone, "Auntie, Uncle gave me this pot of flowers and told me to take it with me when I leave."

Fang Yun's eyes widened immediately, and without thinking, she waved her hand and said, "Get out, get out! Anything else is fine, but this pot of flowers is not."

Xiao Zhaoxing, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, chuckled and teased, "Hey? Didn't you cherish this nephew the most before? How come you can't even bear to part with a potted plant?"

Fang Yun put her hands on her hips and declared firmly, "The past is the past, and the present is the present! Right now, this potted plant is the most precious thing in our family, and no one is allowed to touch it."

Wang Wenfeng slightly suppressed his smile, his tone becoming inquisitive: "Auntie, do you know the variety of this orchid?"

Fang Yun was taken aback by the question, then waved her hand dismissively: "What variety? This is just a common orchid that Chunlan dug up for me from the mountains."

Xiao Cheng, who had been acting as the mascot, nodded in agreement: "Yes, although I didn't go up the mountain with her at the time, I held it on the way back, but I didn't see anything special about it."

Looking at the family's clear eyes, which were completely disbelieving and even seemed to say "Don't try to fool me," Wang Wenfeng was at a loss for words. He could only sigh to himself: "Perhaps fools are just lucky."

He took a deep breath and explained in a calm but serious tone, "If I'm not mistaken, this orchid of this quality should be called 'Songmei,' which is recognized as the finest among orchids. In the eyes of true connoisseurs and lovers of orchids, it is almost priceless."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's eyes lit up, and she immediately straightened her back, a proud "I see" expression on her face: "Right! I knew it! It wasn't that I didn't know how to grow them! It's just that those other flowers simply weren't fit to live in our house!"

Xiao Zhaoxing, Wang Wenfeng, and Xiao Cheng, standing nearby, exchanged glances, speechless for a moment: "..."
