Chapter 16 Is there really a senior in Chapter 16? ...
Chapter Sixteen: Is there really a senior student here?
Days pass by in a flash.
That evening, Li Yue finally finished knitting the pink and white woolen hat, which fit her perfectly. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Next, I can knit a scarf."
My cousin, lying in bed, asked, "What color do you want to knit? You already have a gray scarf."
Li Yue asked, "How about the white one?"
"It gets dirty easily."
"As long as it looks good, that's all that matters. Who told you to wear a white scarf while you're working?"
But after calming down and thinking about it, if I were to become an educated youth sent to the countryside, I would really be working every day, and it would be best to weave a black one.
She didn't have any black yarn, so she had to go and buy some.
At this moment, my aunt came in and instructed, "Qingqing, your maternal grandmother is in the hospital. Since you two don't have anything else to do, go to the hospital to visit her more often."
The next day, Li Yue, her cousin, and Gu Yanmei, who was also there to join in the fun, went to the hospital to visit the elderly.
The elderly man recently experienced heart discomfort and was taken to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for bypass surgery.
In the ward, they chatted with an aunt who was taking care of the elderly woman, and happened to run into the doctor making his rounds. Behind the doctor were interns, one of whom was tall and thin, wore glasses, and had a refined appearance. He kept looking Li Yue up and down.
Li Yue frowned, wondering why this intern wasn't focusing on her studies and kept staring at her.
Gu Yanmei noticed it too, and nudged Li Yue with her arm, calling her name and gesturing for her to look at the other person.
They made eye contact, and the other person even gave her a faint smile.
Li Yue was surprised and found it strange.
After the doctor finished examining all the patients in bed and led everyone away, the intern, who was walking at the very back, stopped as she passed Li Yue and asked, "You're Li Yue, right?"
Li Yue and Gu Yanmei were both dumbfounded.
He smiled and said, "I'm three years older than you, and my name is Song Zhicheng."
Li Yue was completely confused. Who was it?
Gu Yanmei, standing beside her, exclaimed excitedly, "It's you! I know you! When we were in the third year of junior high, you were in the third year of senior high. You had the best grades and got into Peking Union Medical College, right?"
Song Zhicheng smiled and said, "You have a really good memory."
After saying that, he continued to look at Li Yue: "I thought you looked familiar, and then I heard her call you Li Yue, and then I realized it was you. You've grown a lot since I last saw you."
They attended a combined junior and senior high school. In September 1965, Li Yue had just entered her first year of high school. Song Zhicheng, who was the top science student in the college entrance examination that year, shared his learning experiences with them. Li Yue was the class's study committee member and also exchanged some learning tips with Song Zhicheng.
Unfortunately, the college entrance examination was discontinued in June 1966. Everyone went to school as usual, but they no longer studied serious knowledge. After two years of this stop-and-go process, Li Yue and everyone else received their high school graduation certificates.
Song Zhicheng is currently a senior doing an internship and will graduate next year.
However, Li Yue's first reaction was: Oh my god, there really is a senior?
Song Zhicheng had to go on the rounds, so he didn't dare linger too long and just said, "I'll contact you when I have time."
This senior seemed friendly and gentle, and Li Yue had no particular feelings for him, but Gu Yanmei was clearly very interested.
As soon as he left, Gu Yanmei became infatuated: "He's still as handsome as ever."
My cousin stood by, watching coldly, and said speechlessly, "Take it easy, this is a hospital."
Gu Yanmei: "What I said is the truth."
Because the old man was not related to Li Yue and Gu Yanmei by blood, the two women were a little bored in the hospital and decided to leave after a while. Just as they walked into the corridor, they ran into Song Zhicheng again.
He smiled and said, "It's almost lunchtime. Why don't we have lunch together? I'll take you to the cafeteria."
Li Yue thought this was inappropriate, but Gu Yanmei readily agreed: "Okay, okay."
Left with no other choice, Li Yue had to go with them to the hospital staff canteen.
Li Yue felt embarrassed because she was using Song Zhicheng's meal tickets, worried that he wouldn't have enough for the month. But Song Zhicheng said, "Don't worry, I'll have some extra this month."
Gu Yanmei, as if she were already familiar with the food, smiled and said, "Brother Zhicheng, then we won't stand on ceremony."
The three chatted over their meal and learned that neither of them had a job after graduation. Song Zhicheng sighed, "These past few years, three graduating classes have graduated together. It's hard to find a job, and everyone is having a tough time. Maybe things will get better if we just hang in there a little longer."
Gu Yanmei said, "Your future is definitely bright; we don't even know where the road ahead lies."
Song Zhicheng smiled and said, "Studying medicine is even more difficult. I feel like I haven't even gotten started yet."
Gu Yanmei: "Actually, I originally planned to apply to medical school, but unfortunately they are no longer accepting students."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and Li Yue, unable to get a word in edgewise, chose to bury herself in her food. Song Zhicheng looked at her: "Li Yue, why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Yue looked up and said, "You guys chat, I'll eat and listen."
He couldn't help but grin: "Are you hungry? Then eat properly."
After a while, Song Zhicheng asked again, "Have you all found partners yet?"
Gu Yanmei shook her head: "No. Have you found a boyfriend?"
He said self-deprecatingly, "Medical students don't have time to find partners; they can't even finish memorizing those thick medical books."
Gu Yanmei laughed so hard her body trembled.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the clues; Comrade Xiao Gu had completely fallen for him.
After finishing their meal, Song Zhicheng had to go to work. As Li Yue and Gu Yanmei walked out of the hospital, Li Yue kept listening to Gu Yanmei mutter, "Song Zhicheng is so elegant. He will definitely be a gentle and refined doctor with excellent academic skills in the future... There are many young and beautiful nurses in the hospital, and he will definitely be very popular with everyone."
Li Yue couldn't stand it anymore and said bluntly, "I can tell, you like him."
Gu Yanmei's face immediately showed a rare shyness: "Nothing like that, don't talk nonsense." Then she said seriously, "But I feel like he's interested in you."
Gu Yanmei quickly added, "But you already have Deputy Battalion Commander Ling. Let me remind you, don't try to have your cake and eat it too."
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have a single relationship, okay? Besides, I'm not thinking about that right now." Li Yue was speechless, but at the same time she had to remind her, "Isn't Song Zhicheng's family a family of doctors? His parents are both doctors, so their standards for finding a partner must be very high. We're both unemployed, so don't get too caught up in it."
Gu Yanmei frowned: "Yes, sigh. But I do think he is very outstanding."
While chatting about these nonsensical things, Li Yue felt sleepy and yawned. Gu Yanmei immediately seemed to be rekindled with fighting spirit: "Didn't he say he's free tomorrow morning and will come to the family compound to visit us? We can have a good chat tomorrow."
Song Zhicheng also lived near the family compound. He had lived on campus during his university years, so they hadn't seen each other for the past few years. The next morning, he arrived as promised, and Li Yue and Gu Yanmei accompanied him for a walk around the family compound.
He said, "Actually, I also have a few classmates living in this compound, but we've all been busy with our studies these past few years and haven't kept in touch much."
Gu Yanmei was particularly excited, chattering incessantly on the way, which made Li Yue seem even quieter. Song Zhicheng then joked, "Li Yue, why aren't you saying anything? Are you not welcoming me?"
"No, no, of course I welcome you. It's good to have an acquaintance who studies medicine."
Song Zhicheng laughed: "However, it's best not to use someone I know."
Li Yue understood what he meant. If you are healthy and have no illness or pain, you won't need to use a doctor or acquaintance. So she smiled and nodded.
Just then, a familiar Jeep drove up and stopped next to them.
Gu Yanmei grabbed Li Yue's arm: "Deputy Battalion Commander Ling is here."
The man driving saw the girl smiling at a man from afar and frowned instantly. He parked his car next to them, got out and walked over. His sharp gaze first fell on the tall, thin young man before he curled his lips and said to Li Yue, "I thought you weren't here today again."
Then he tilted his head slightly and asked, "And who is this?"
Gu Yanmei interrupted, "He's our senior, a few years ahead of us."
"Senior brother?" Ling Jianwei raised his eyes, a barely perceptible glint of sharpness flashing in them, before looking at Li Yue again. "Your senior brother?"
Li Yuexin paused, realizing he must have remembered her mentioning "senior" that time.
Although the senior she mentioned was not the same person as this senior, in Ling Jianwei's eyes, it must be him.
That's awkward.
Looking closely at the two of them, it's true that they look different; their facial features and height are different. After all, who can compare to a beauty like Ling Jianwei?
However, it must be said that Song Zhicheng is quite good-looking for this era, and he has a gentle and refined temperament.
Under Ling Jianwei's questioning gaze, Li Yue could only nod: "Yes, he's three years ahead of us."
At that moment, Ling Jianwei's Adam's apple bobbed, then she smiled slightly and extended her hand to Song Zhicheng with great grace: "Hello, my name is Ling Jianwei. I recently returned to Beijing to visit relatives and came to see Li Yue."
Facing the young, tall, and handsome deputy battalion commander, Song Zhicheng shook hands and replied, "Hello, I am Song Zhicheng. I am a senior at Peking Union Medical College and I am currently doing my internship."
The two men who had been shaking hands let go, and Ling Jianwei asked Li Yue again, "Do you have plans later?"
Li Yue shook her head: "No, Senior Brother Song is just resting for half a day and came here for a visit. He still has to go to the hospital later."
He nodded his chin: "That's good. I had nothing to do, so I came to see you. Do you want to go to your great-grandfather's house?"
Li Yue paused, then murmured, "Go to my maternal grandfather's house?"
Ling Jianwei chuckled lightly, seemingly indifferent, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to go, but come with me to buy some things."
Seeing that he had given in, Li Yue said, "Oh, okay."
The group suddenly fell silent. Seeing this, Gu Yanmei asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Ling Jianwei looked at Li Yue with a smile: "No rush, it's more important to properly entertain your senior brother first."
Song Zhicheng finally found an opportunity to speak and politely replied, "You're too kind. I'm about to go to work at the hospital. Let's make an appointment again when we have time."
Ling Jianwei looked at this "senior" and said generously, "Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a bit far from here, how about I take you there?"
Song Zhicheng: "No need, I ride a bike, it's convenient for me to commute to and from get off work."
In the eerie atmosphere, Li Yue quietly observed the two men and discovered that although they were polite to each other, they seemed to be secretly competing with each other in their eyes and hearts.
Like two lions fighting for territory.
