Extra: Chinese Valentine's Day

Su Qingyan felt so cold in the president's office that goose bumps appeared all over his body, and his knees even felt a little sore.

Old cold legs? How old am I? Is the free trial period for humans really limited to the first 25 years? Why do all sorts of health problems crop up after age 25?

Su Qingyan sneezed and then asked his secretary to turn off the air conditioner. The secretary considerately brought him a blanket.

In fact, he was not that weak, but today he was not wearing a suit and tie like usual. Instead, he was wearing sportswear, with his two long and white legs clearly exposed.

Today is Chinese Valentine's Day! Zhou Cheng is a workaholic who can end dates at will. When will I be more important than his patients?

Su Qingyan thought angrily while typing hard on the keyboard to reply to the email.

Although he was sulking, he still included every polite word in the email.

The Italian noble couple who traveled to Antarctica together were able to lend their private castle to Su Qingyan, which was already a great honor for him. This is not something that can be done just by having money, so the emotional value must be provided to them in sufficient amounts.

His wedding with Zhou Cheng was scheduled for October, and he personally finalized all the details before the wedding.

In addition to the ceremony in Mincheng, Su Qingyan also planned to hold a wedding banquet in Yingjiang, but was ruthlessly rejected by Zhou's father. He felt that the old man's acceptance of their marriage was already the limit, and he did not want to continue such a grand publicity.

Zhou Cheng also meant to go along with his father. After all, he would never have believed that "his father appeared at his and Su Qingyan's wedding" a year ago.

But after a year of Su Qingyan's unremitting efforts, Zhou's father could no longer withstand Su Qingyan's constant attacks of "Dad is great, Dad is short", and he also experienced "another kind of son" who was completely different from Zhou Cheng, and his attitude finally began to ease.

This year, the two families even spent the New Year together in Yingjiang. It was also the first time that the two families sat together and seriously discussed their marriage.

After the wedding date was set, good news came one after another.

First, the SCI publication with a super high impact factor signed by Zhou Cheng and Gu Yi was officially published. Zhou Cheng then won the National Hepatobiliary Surgery Physician Skills Competition. After his scientific research and clinical practice blossomed, Zhou Cheng was naturally appointed as the deputy director of the Second Department of General Surgery, in charge of scientific research and teaching. He is also the youngest deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital in recent years.

The case involving Su Chonglin finally made progress in early spring. Although Su Chonglin escaped imprisonment, his early deeds at the Xinghai border were also brought out. In the end, his merits and demerits offset each other, and the case was considered over after he was fined a large sum of money.

Lu Jinshen felt a little embarrassed. The Su family's business in Xinghai was completely lost, and the foundation was destroyed. It would be difficult to restore the former glory. So he helped Su Qingyan to quickly gain a foothold in Mincheng in both open and covert ways.

If the east is dark, the west will be bright. Even if Old Su retires, there is still Little Su.

Logically speaking, Su Qingyan has achieved success in both love and career, and is already a winner in life, but he also sighs from time to time.

Zhou Cheng loves his work so much that he doesn't even compare himself to his patients. Because he lives close to the hospital and is the deputy director, he's always the first one to arrive when something happens in the department.

Su Qingyan often wondered why Zhou Cheng was still working so diligently since his annual salary was not even enough for his weekly pocket money. In the end, his actions could only be described as selfless and noble.

Now, because of a critically ill patient, he flew back from the island in a hurry.

Qixi Festival is ruined again.

After replying to the email, Su Qingyan dealt with some company affairs. As a result, he found that everyone's efficiency dropped sharply during the day and a half he was on vacation. Do things have to be delayed until the DDL?

Su Qingyan is truly a typical disgusting boss. Even with the double buff of weekends and holidays, he actually had the heart to let his employees work overtime.

Zhou Cheng worked overtime on his own initiative.

Li Yu was attending a meeting out of town. The patient admitted to the emergency room had a complicated condition and the hospital on duty could not handle it alone, so they had to ask their superiors for instructions. After the superior doctor arrived, he was also helpless, so the call was made to Zhou Cheng's mobile phone.

Zhou Cheng immediately ended his trip early and rushed back without even having time to change his clothes.

After checking the ward, he immediately pushed the patient into the operating room.

Chu Fan was also on duty in the department that day. As Zhou Cheng's founding disciple, he was naturally taken to the operating table.

"Are you on duty today?" Zhou Cheng asked casually while washing his hands. He vaguely remembered that Chu Fan was on duty today.

"I switched shifts with someone else..." Chu Fan brushed his hands just as seriously.

"Didn't Yang Wuxi make trouble with you?"

Chu Fan was a little nervous at first. After all, this level of surgery would not be his turn in the short term. Now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he definitely would not miss it.

But I didn’t expect Zhou Cheng to mention Yang Wuxi.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't want to mention him during work hours."

Zhou Cheng smiled and felt a little proud inside. He felt that he had good vision and had not chosen the wrong student.

After Zhou Cheng was hired as an associate chief physician, he was qualified to supervise graduate students, but he was very demanding. During the first year of graduate student interviews, no student caught his eye.

Chu Fan successfully passed the postgraduate study in the first semester of his fifth year. The experiments and papers he wrote during his undergraduate studies were all related to hepatobiliary surgery, so he chose a supervisor from the hepatobiliary surgery departments of several affiliated hospitals.

The person he wanted to choose at the beginning was Director Li Yu of the First Affiliated Hospital. After telling Yang Wuxi about his idea, Yang Wuxi found his grandfather Geng Shili. It was not that he wanted to use a backdoor, but he simply wanted the old man to give him some advice.

"What's the point of having an old man as a mentor?" Geng Shili answered very directly after listening to Yang Wuxi's retelling.

"Isn't it true that people become more powerful as they get older? Your granddaughter-in-law is Mu Qiang, and the instructor wants to choose the best." Yang Wuxi didn't understand.

"Mu Qiang should choose Zhou Cheng. He has both scientific research and clinical practice."

What Geng Shili said was absolutely right. Zhou Cheng's momentum has been very strong recently. Even though everyone knows that he has the huge capital of the Su family behind him to protect him, his professional skills are impeccable.

After hearing what Geng Shili said, Yang Wuxi was silent for a moment.

If personal emotions are not mixed in, Zhou Cheng is indeed a good mentor.

But how could he not care?

Chu Fan has a similar personality to Zhou Cheng. He doesn't talk much, works rigorously and seriously, and only likes to speak with his strength.

If they really became master and disciple, and were together every day, don't...

"But Zhou Cheng may not be interested in my granddaughter-in-law. He is too picky and is even more strict than Li Yu in selecting students." Geng Shili added.

"He looks down on me? Give him face..." Yang Wuxi rolled his eyes.

"Go back and talk to Chu Fan and see what he thinks. He has to make his own choice."

After careful consideration, Chu Fan finally chose Zhou Cheng as his mentor.

During the re-examination, Zhou Cheng did not kick the student out in person for the first time.

After the tutor was confirmed, Yang Wuxi ran to Zhou Cheng's office to make three rules with him.

"Are you mentally ill?" Zhou Cheng certainly wouldn't give him face. He finally saved himself the trouble of scolding the student and transferred all the words to Yang Wuxi.

"You'd better behave yourself." Yang Wuxi said threateningly.

"You'd better get out." Zhou Cheng was really pissed off at him.

After Chu Fan became Zhou Cheng's first student, he worked diligently every day and did not dare to slack off at all.

Because Zhou Cheng is so strict, he demands perfection in everything. Even the test reports in the medical records have his own order, and he will frown if he puts one in the wrong order.

Chu Fan finally understood why many people called him AI or human-machine. He really didn't have much humanity in him.

But I chose my own tutor, so I have to persevere.

After adapting for about a month, Chu Fan gradually caught up with Zhou Cheng's pace.

This was Chu Fan's first time to follow Zhou Cheng in performing a double-mirror combined surgery, and he even held the mirror for a while.

Although the condition was serious, Zhou Cheng's superb skills eventually saved the patient.

After a few hours, it was almost midnight when Zhou Cheng got off the stage. He followed the patient to the ICU, adjusted the medical orders, and only after seeing the stable vital signs on the monitor did he feel a little relieved.

"Teacher Zhou, the follow-up tests for tomorrow have been ordered. Please take a look." Chu Fan took the tablet and showed it to Zhou Cheng.

"Okay." Zhou Cheng originally thought he would need to add a few items, but Chu Fan had already thought of it very comprehensively.

Good, it gets easier the more I use it.

Zhou Cheng looked at the time, prepared himself for Su Qingyan's nagging, and went to the locker room to make a phone call.

"Still asleep?"

Su Qingyan answered the phone quickly, but didn't say anything.

"I was in surgery just now and it just ended."

Zhou Cheng explained.

"How many days of wedding leave can you take? I want to go to Italy."

Zhou Cheng listened to Su Qingyan's calm tone and thought that something was wrong.

"Where are you?"

"At home, where else?"

Zhou Cheng quickly changed his clothes in the locker room and left the hospital.

There were many flower shops near the hospital, and because today was Chinese Valentine's Day, many of them were open all night. Zhou Cheng walked into one and bought a bunch of red roses at a high price before returning home.

All the lights in the house were off, except for a night light in the bedroom.

Su Qingyan was sitting on the bed typing on the laptop keyboard. When she saw Zhou Cheng coming back, she looked up at him.

Zhou Cheng put the flowers on the bedside table and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"Why are you so depressed?"

"If our family didn't have a plane, how could you come back so soon?" Su Qingyan closed the notebook and put it aside.

"Then I won't leave Mincheng when the director is out." Zhou Cheng answered truthfully.

Su Qingyan sighed.

"Is it too late for me to apply to medical school now? Is it only by being your student that I can stay with you forever?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you still willing to be treated like a beast of burden?" Zhou Cheng leaned over and hugged Su Qingyan helplessly.

"Then who did you spend Chinese Valentine's Day with?" Su Qingyan grabbed Zhou Cheng's collar and pulled him onto the bed.

"With you." Zhou Cheng kissed him.

"Isn't it with your precious student?" Su Qingyan curled her lips.

"Nonsense, you're the only one."

The bouquet of red roses was originally placed steadily on the bedside table, but then it began to shake and finally fell to the floor under the weight.

Su Qingyan made use of it and took a flower petal bath in the middle of the night in a good mood.

It was already past 1 a.m. when Chu Fan returned to the duty room from the ICU. The life-saving coffee he drank in the afternoon had long lost its effect. As soon as the high-intensity work was over, he was so sleepy that he wanted to fall asleep immediately.

After changing his clothes, he took the elevator to the first floor. He glanced into the hall out of habit and saw Yang Wuxi sleeping on the back of a chair.

"Why are you waiting for me here again? Go home and sleep." Chu Fan hurried over and woke up Yang Wuxi.

Because Chu Fan has been working overtime recently, and Yang Wuxi doesn't want to wait for him in the department, he basically waits in this position in the lobby on the first floor every day.

Chu Fan told him many times to go home first, or find a more comfortable place nearby to wait, but he was very stubborn and refused to listen.

Although it is midsummer, the air conditioning in the hospital is very strong and Yang Wuxi feels cold all over.

He twisted his stiff neck, looked at the time, and his face darkened.

"Is Zhou Cheng using you as a laborer? What time is it? Why don't we stop suffering here?" Yang Wuxi pulled Chu Fan's arm and stood up, then hugged him in his arms.

"Today's surgery is unusual. I even had to adjust the scope." Chu Fan perked up when he spoke of this. "I've learned a lot more than others. They're just accepting patients and writing their medical records. They don't even have the chance to watch the surgery."

"...As long as you are happy, go home." Yang Wuxi knew that he could not interfere with Chu Fan's studies, but he felt sorry for him staying up so late every day, wondering if his body could take it.

In order to make it more convenient for Chu Fan to go to work, Yang Wuxi persuaded Geng Lanye to buy them a house near the First Affiliated Hospital.

If Yang Wuxi wanted this house, she would never buy it for him, but when the reason of "for Chu Fan's convenience in going to work" was brought up, Geng Lanye immediately bought the apartment, and Chu Fan's name was still on the property title.

No matter what, Geng Shili wanted his family to have a real surgeon and not to break the inheritance. Now only Chu Fan can realize it. Chu Fan has also been promoted to the treasure of the family, and his status is far above Yang Wuxi.

The two walked slowly towards home hand in hand. Although he couldn't see the Milky Way, Chu Fan still looked up at the night sky for a long time.

"Isn't Qixi the Qiqiao Festival? When did it become Valentine's Day?"

"We can make it Valentine's Day if it's a holiday. We have to join in the fun." Yang Wuxi turned around and picked up Chu Fan. "Should I carry you back or carry you on my back?"

"Put me down..." Chu Fan wanted to break free from his hand, but Yang Wuxi's hand was too strong and he couldn't break free at all.

Yang Wuxi exchanged a few moves with Chu Fan as if playing, and finally carried him on his shoulders.

Chu Fan hugged Yang Wuxi's neck, leaned over and buried his face in his hair, muttering in a muffled voice: "Isn't it embarrassing..."

"What's shameful about me carrying my own wife on my back?" Yang Wuxi said with a smile.

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Chu Fan raised his head slightly, revealing his eyes, and looked around.

"Su Qingyan told me that he is going to have a wedding with Zhou Cheng." Yang Wuxi said to Chu Fan as they walked.

"Yeah, I know." There were basically no people on the road at 2 a.m., so Chu Fan was not so nervous anymore.

"When are we getting married?"

"We are so young... I want to graduate first before talking about this..."

"We are of legal marriage age, and Su Qingyan is only two years older than us."

It is true that I have reached the legal age, but this is not legal in my country...

Chu Fan complained in his heart.

"If it doesn't work out in China, we can go abroad to get the certificate." Yang Wuxi seemed to have heard what Chu Fan was thinking.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I want to keep you by my side tightly, for fear of losing you again."

"It's just a piece of light paper. Haven't I always been here?"

Yang Wuxi felt that apart from the heaviness on his shoulders, his heart also felt at ease. He stopped and looked up at the sky.

"Chu Fan, I saw the Milky Way."

"Huh?" Chu Fan raised his head in confusion and looked for it.

"Little fool, I'm really afraid that you will be cheated by others."

Your eyes are the galaxy.
