"What's wrong? Let me check your pulse!"
Ye Qingqing was quite worried and reached out to check Mao Fangfei's pulse.
"No need, I'm just hungry." Mao Fangfei waved her hands repeatedly, her hands so thin they looked like chicken claws.
Ye Qingqing found it strange, "You're not thinking of losing weight, are you?"
"Of course not, I just can't eat it. Seeing that rotten meat and smelling that stench of corpses every day, I can't even eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, ugh... Keep the watermelon juice away from me, don't let me see it!"
The waiter brought over the watermelon juice, which Ye Qingqing had just ordered. Mao Fangfei's expression changed drastically. She covered her mouth tightly and turned her head away, not daring to look. Good heavens, she had just gone to the crime scene with her master yesterday. The ceiling and floor were covered in blood, which was almost the same color as the watermelon juice.
Ye Qingqing shrugged and continued drinking with relish. She had to take back her praise from a few days ago; the reaction was too much. She really doubted whether Mao Fangfei could keep it up.
Mao Fangfei asked for a glass of water and didn't order anything to eat. Ye Qingqing didn't care about her and ordered a steak. As Mao Fangfei watched her cut the meat with a knife, she felt nauseous again and gagged several times.
"If you can't even handle this, I think you should give up being a forensic doctor. I'm afraid you'll starve to death before you even become a forensic doctor," Ye Qingqing deliberately provoked her.
Actually, this is all psychological. Mao Fangfei is a medical student, so she is certainly not afraid of dead people. But there are many kinds of dead people. Some die gracefully and beautifully, some die in a disgusting way, and some even die in a way that cannot be pieced back together. The dead people that forensic doctors deal with are generally not very beautiful. If Mao Fangfei cannot even overcome her psychological barrier, she cannot be competent for the job of a forensic doctor.
Mao Fangfei shook her head vigorously, her tone firm, "I can persevere!"
She can't let her parents look down on her!
Ye Qingqing scoffed, "You've stopped eating after seeing a few corpses? What are you even trying to do!"
Mao Fangfei choked, looking ashamed, and mumbled, "I couldn't control my nausea, I threw up everything I ate, and the scene kept replaying in my mind."
She wasn't a professional doctor after all, and the feelings she had when she came into contact with corpses during her school days had long faded. Besides, the corpses from her school days were all cleaned up and looked pretty, not scary at all, and couldn't compare to the corpses at crime scenes.
"You must find a way to overcome it. Since you've chosen this path, you have to overcome all obstacles!"
Ye Qingqing ordered another medium-rare steak and placed it in front of Mao Fangfei. "This steak is the boulder that will help you become an excellent forensic doctor. If you eat it, you will succeed. If you can't finish it, don't waste other people's time. Go back to teaching!"
Mao Fangfei's face turned pale as she shakily cut the steak. Ye Qingqing was right; if she couldn't even finish a steak, she had no right to talk about ideals!
She closed her eyes and bit into a piece of meat, but the familiar nausea surged up again. Mao Fangfei covered her mouth tightly, but she couldn't swallow it no matter what she did.
"Imagine ten years from now, you've become an elite forensic pathologist, solving one cold case after another with your exceptional professional knowledge. You'll be the savior of those victims, and you'll stand at the pinnacle of the industry..."
Ye Qingqing's voice was soft, yet it enhanced the atmosphere. Mao Fangfei involuntarily forgot about the crime scene and thought about the wonderful future she would have as an excellent forensic doctor ten years later. Her lips curled up, her face glowed, and the steak in her mouth didn't seem so disgusting anymore. She even managed to swallow it smoothly.
"I ate it, and I don't feel nauseous anymore!" Mao Fangfei was overjoyed.
