Chapter 37 It's never wrong to be overly polite
Given what happened, it's impossible that Su Wanwan's parents were unaware of it.
Zhong Qian was so anxious that she was about to fly over.
Su Wanwan quickly dissuaded her, "No need to come over, I'm fine, it's all taken care of."
"Who helped you with this? Su Shili?" With her daughter there, Zhong Qian was always worried, and she figured it could only be Su Shili, who was also in mainland China.
“Hmm, he probably did too.” Su Wanwan thought for a moment, not wanting to deny Xie Yanning’s contribution. “Do you remember the aunt downstairs’s son? He’s a computer science professor. He asked a friend to help me sort out the online public opinion.”
Zhong Qian didn't know much about Gu Ruyi's son either. When the two chatted occasionally, Gu Ruyi would only say that he was a bit introverted and spent all day in front of the computer, not knowing what he was doing.
Zhong Qian inevitably developed a stereotype.
A rigid, bookish type who wears thick glasses, may be tidy, but should always wear oversized plaid shirts and walk around with a book in his hand.
"Then you should thank them properly," Zhong Qian reminded her.
Thinking about how much help they had given her, Zhong Qian rushed to prepare a gift, planning to airfreight it over, and sent a reminder to Su Wanwan: "I sent you a gift, you can deliver it to them."
"..." Su Wanwan saw the text message that had been sent and didn't know what to say.
She and Xie Yanning were classmates, after all; the gifts Zhong Qian gave were enough to scare people away.
Isn't this classmates being too materialistic?
As if she could read Su Wanwan's mind, Zhong Qian wanted to slap her forehead: "This is such a big favor. It's never wrong to be polite, you can't take it lightly."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Su Wanwan had no choice but to agree.
It's impossible for the hospital leadership not to know about the public opinion crisis that occurred.
By the time the dean called the office and asked the staff to resolve the issue quickly, public opinion had already reversed.
Many eyes have turned to Dr. Liu, the person involved.
But many people just watched it as gossip, having already heard about the hospital staff's shady dealings; this was just another piece of strong evidence, nothing more to say.
A doctor who isn't particularly handsome, nothing particularly exciting.
Getting promoted, making money, and losing one's wife are the three essential elements of happiness for middle-aged men.
The netizens concluded by saying, "Don't idolize academic qualifications or professions," and the matter was thus concluded.
When Su Wanwan woke up in the morning, someone from the hospital office called to tell her that she was given two days off and didn't need to come to work.
Su Wanwan looked at the clock by the bed.
Six o'clock in the morning.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to feel sorry for myself for waking up early, or for the people in the hospital office who were working overtime so early in the morning.
"Thanks for your hard work."
This matter cannot be attributed to the hospital if it is not addressed.
Given the hospital's procedures, they probably haven't even figured out a process yet.
Surprisingly, she got two days off as a result of the misfortune, and Su Wanwan generously forgave her.
There was no way she could sleep anymore. Su Wan got up and drew back the curtains. The cool air unique to early autumn rushed in. She stood on the balcony and stretched.
Yuanxiao is a true night owl, preferring to patrol around in the middle of the night. Right now, she's sleeping comfortably in her nest by the living room balcony.
These two days also happen to be the weekend.
Su Wanwan took out her phone and scrolled through it, trying to find someone to hang out with.
It turned out that none of them seemed to fit the criteria.
Her social circle isn't here. If she went back, there would be plenty of gatherings she could attend, but she couldn't just fly back; she found it too tiring.
Of all her friends here, Yang Lewei is her only close one.
But since they were newly married, Su Wanwan really didn't have the face to bother them.
Although Xie Yanning said he would find someone to go hiking with during his break, Su Wanwan figured he wouldn't have time on the weekend, so she didn't plan to tell him.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wanwan decided to organize a citywalk.
She's been here for almost two months and hasn't had a proper chance to explore.
Without further ado, Su Wan went online that night to look up strategies.
Having figured out the classic route, Su Wanwan changed her clothes and went out.
The weather was nice today, sunny, a bit cool in the morning but still a bit hot around noon.
Su Wanwan wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans, topped with a loose short trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and two backpacks before heading out.
Hmm, she does look quite like a female college student.
Su Wanwan was very satisfied.
Before leaving, Su Wanwan petted the cat and glanced down from the balcony, only to see Xie Yanning leading that wronged dog back inside.
Judging from the looks of it, they must have just finished a walk.
The silly dog was panting, looking like it hadn't had enough.
Su Wanwan's admiration for Xie Yanning's energy reached a new level once again.
Look at them, they get up so early even though they don't have to go to work.
Su Wanwan gave a "respect" bow, but before she could lower her hand, Xie Yanning seemed to sense it and happened to raise his head.
His face, still damp with sweat, slowly formed a question mark.
Having experienced many awkward situations, Su Wanwan remained calm and greeted him generously, "Professor Xie, good morning."
Xie Yanning looked at her attire, locked the courtyard gate, and asked her, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"The hospital had a change of heart and gave me two days off."
Xie Yanning smiled knowingly, "So you're taking a break." Then she asked, "Did you have plans with someone?"
"No," Su Wanwan replied honestly, "I only received the notification this morning. Who would have time to accompany me? I plan to go shopping by myself."
“Am I not a human being?” Xie Yanning said. “Why don’t I, as your classmate, do the hosting duties?”
"But haven't you gotten tired of shopping already?"
"Come down and wait for me for a moment, I'll be done soon."
Su Wanwan: "??" No, did she agree?
When they got downstairs, the door was already open. Xie Yanning turned her head and said, "Come in first."
Only when she got closer did Su Wanwan get a direct feel for it.
Xie Yanning is already tall, so getting close to him can be a bit intimidating.
Her face was flushed, her hair was soaked with sweat, and she was breathing heavily. It was as if a wave of heat was coming from her. Su Wanwan looked away uncomfortably.
My apologies, my apologies.
Then, as my gaze shifted downwards, I realized that I shouldn't actually be standing there.
Xie Yanning was wearing shorts, revealing her strong, long calves with a lot of leg hair.
It's rumored that people with long leg hair are lustful; I wonder if this applies to Xie Yanning.
"Why don't you take a shower first?"
Xie Yanning seemed oblivious to her embarrassment and said with a smile, "Then wait a moment, I'll be quick."
“…” Su Wanwan pursed her lips.
It seems that men can't say "fast".
Xie Yanning went inside, while Su Wanwan remained in the courtyard.
The silly dog seemed quite interested in Su Wanwan, circling around her and sniffing her every now and then.
"You can't guard the house like this. If you keep going like this, it'll get robbed sooner or later."
The flowers can still bloom a little this season.
Su Wanwan noticed that the flower stand had been repaired and replaced with a new one. The seedlings that she thought had been crushed to death last time seemed to have survived.
On the other side of the courtyard is a pavilion.
Judging from their posture, they probably usually have barbecues here, chatting and laughing around the fire.
