Gong Nanting nodded upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Ji Lei glanced at Gong Nanting, signaling him to stop talking.
Gong Nanting immediately nodded obediently.
My wife's words are like a sacred decree.
Seeing this, Ji Lei turned her head and said to Gong Yixue and the other woman with a smile, "Are you hungry? Knowing you were coming back, I had someone cook something for you. Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it to you. Eat and then go to rest."
After saying that, Ji Lei went to the kitchen to give instructions.
Unable to refuse their hospitality, Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
...
the next day.
Just as Gong Yixue was catching up on sleep, her cell phone suddenly rang in the empty room.
Gong Yixue was woken up and frowned slightly, seemingly annoyed that her sweet dream had been disturbed.
She closed her eyes, reached out, and groped around on the bedside table several times before finally getting her phone.
Gong Yixue squinted as she answered the call, her tone slightly impatient.
Hello, who is this?
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the distinctive voice of an elderly person, who was cautiously laughing along.
"Little Xue, it's me, Old Zhong."
"Hmm, what do you want?" Gong Yixue asked, her eyes still closed, her mind seemingly blank.
"Um...didn't you say you were coming over yesterday? I just wanted to ask if you've left yet?"
"I asked cautiously," said Mr. Zhong.
What he didn't say was that they had actually gotten up early in the morning to wait.
A large group of old men waited anxiously in the living room, but no one showed up even by midday.
Not only did they not see the person, but they didn't even send a message.
So a group of old men persuaded Zhong Lao to make that phone call.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue frowned and recalled that she had indeed promised to go and take a look yesterday.
Gong Yixue opened her eyes, sat up and said, "Wait for me for an hour, I'll be right there."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhong immediately laughed and said, "Alright, alright, then we'll wait for you to come over."
After hanging up the phone, Gong Yixue sat motionless, lost in thought, preparing to start the phone.
Last night, after they finished eating and took a shower, it was already very late at night when they came upstairs and were getting ready to go to sleep.
Even if she slept until noon, it wouldn't be many hours. For Gong Yixue, who loved to stay in bed, this moment was truly agonizing and painful.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan, who had already woken up, said, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
He didn't care what was going on over there or who was waiting; all he could think about was that his wife seemed very tired and needed to rest.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue shook her head and said, "No, I promised yesterday, and I have to keep my word. Besides, I wouldn't want to keep them waiting."
After all, those people were all elders, and she couldn't keep them waiting indefinitely.
Besides, they were a group of people she admired.
They did only one thing in their lives, and they did it to the extreme.
She dedicated her life to medicine, which is something that not everyone can do, and she is a role model worthy of emulation.
...
Inside the villa owned by Gong Yixue.
A group of old men were eagerly waiting, but there was still no sign of anything happening.
One of them said, "Old Zhong, you must have misheard. You said it would be an hour, and that's almost it. Why are we still nowhere to be seen?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhong immediately objected, "Impossible! I'm not deaf yet. I heard it very clearly. Xue girl said one hour later!"
The man said, "Why is there no sound outside? Where is everyone?"
Mr. Zhong was speechless.
He also wanted to ask someone.
Old Qin, standing to the side, spoke calmly, "Let's wait a little longer. Xue'er is not one to break her word. Since she promised to come, she will naturally come. Let's wait patiently."
Besides, there are still five minutes left; they might be here soon.
Clearly, Old Qin had a great deal of trust in the Moon Goddess Doctor who had saved his life.
Seeing this, everyone checked the time and, seeing that there were still a few minutes left, waited patiently.
Furthermore, at this moment, there is nothing they can do but wait.
Just as the time was about to expire, the sound of a car came from outside the villa.
Old Zhong immediately stood up and said happily, "It must be Xue Yatou who has arrived."
After saying that, he walked quickly toward the door, looking nothing like an elderly person.
Like him were many other old men.
Upon seeing this, Old Qin's lips curled up, and he followed.
Just as Gong Yixue parked the car and got out, Ye Mohan, who was in the passenger seat, also walked over.
Gong Yixue tossed the car keys to him, and Ye Mohan caught them.
The two then walked towards the villa entrance, and before she could even enter, she saw a group of old men rushing out of the door.
Old Zhong was the first to run up to Gong Yixue and said excitedly, "Little Xue, you've come."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "If you hadn't come soon, I'm afraid I would have been labeled as someone who's old and hard of hearing."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue asked in confusion, "What?"
"I told them you were coming in an hour, and it's almost time, but they're in a hurry and insist I misheard. Can you believe it?"
"I'm old but still strong, how could I not hear clearly? Little Xue, you tell them if I heard you correctly."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue looked at Old Zhong, who was acting like a child, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After a while, just as she was about to speak, Old Qin spoke first.
"Snow Girl, ignore him, let's go inside and talk."
Gong Yixue spent the entire afternoon exchanging medical knowledge with leading figures in the medical field.
It wasn't until it got dark that Gong Yixue prepared to go home.
Before leaving, Old Qin called out to Gong Yixue.
"Snow Girl".
Gong Yixue looked at him, and Old Qin said, "There will be an academic exchange meeting for industry professionals tomorrow night. Do you want to attend?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhong quickly chimed in, "Oh, right, right, Xue girl, there's an academic exchange meeting in Mo City tomorrow night. Many well-known figures in the industry will be attending. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Would you like to go and take a look?"
They all knew that with Gong Yixue's abilities, going to such a place would also be to teach medicine, but they also hoped that Gong Yixue would agree to go, as it would be a wonderful thing to promote medical skills and benefit society and humanity.
After listening, Gong Yixue said, "No, you guys go ahead. I don't really like these kinds of occasions."
Zhong Lao and the others felt a little regretful, but they didn't say anything more.
This is Gong Yixue's freedom; she has the right to decide whether to go or not, and they have no right to interfere.
On the way back.
Ye Mohan looked at Gong Yixue in the passenger seat and said, "Take a nap first, I'll wake you up when we get home."
All afternoon, he hadn't seen Gong Yixue stop for a moment, not even for a sip of water.
