Chapter 288 Chu Xiao, the Stubborn Man
An Xiaoyue put down her phone, looking puzzled.
Could it be that Hua Lan has other male friends?
I've never heard her mention it.
"Ouch~"
As soon as Fu Shengyang entered the room, he saw his beloved wife's brows furrowed tightly.
"What difficulties have you encountered? Talk to your husband about it."
As Fu Shengyang spoke, he raised his hand and gently smoothed away her furrowed brows.
An Xiaoyue looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What do you think Brother Chu would do if Hua Lan fell in love with another boy?"
Fu Shengyang chuckled, "What can we do? We'll just have to keep pestering her to get back."
An Xiaoyue thought of Brother Chu's stern, dark face; his persistent pestering was a little frightening.
She swallowed hard, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "I have something to tell you, but don't tell Brother Chu."
Seeing her acting like a thief, Fu Shengyang couldn't help but feel curious. He lowered his voice and assured her, "The lips my darling wife has kissed are the most secure! You tell me."
"That's right. When I was video chatting with Hua Lan just now, I found out that she wasn't living in the school dormitory, and there was a boy washing dishes with her."
Fu Shengyang knew what was going on without even thinking.
Chu Xiao, a man with a stubborn tongue, protected Hua Lan like the apple of his eye...
No, he protects it even better than he would his own heart and liver.
How could he allow someone to steal the cabbage he raised with his own hands, a girl he had protected so well?
Therefore, the only man your beloved wife can see is Lao Xiao.
"My darling wife, there's something I've never had a chance to tell you."
"Huh?" An Xiaoyue's eyes widened.
"Lao Xiao bought a house under my name, which is very close to the First People's Hospital of Beijing where you are doing your internship. So, what you just saw was probably Hua Lan at Lao Xiao's house."
"Does that mean they're living together?" An Xiaoyue asked in surprise.
"Judging from the current situation, Lao Xiao has no plans to be with Hua Lan."
"How so?" An Xiaoyue sat up straight, her interest piqued.
“Old Xiao, he looks very tough and fierce, but he’s the most cowardly and two-faced person.”
An Xiaoyue picked up some caramelized melon seeds from the table and ate them, gesturing for Fu Shengyang to continue.
"When Lao Xiao was in school, he always worked hard in secret to get the 'Three Good Student' award. He usually acted like a hooligan at school, but he was very diligent in private."
“I’ve met people like that before.” An Xiaoyue understands these kinds of people best.
“I had a classmate like that in high school. During evening self-study, he wouldn’t do his homework. Instead, he would read magazines and novels, as if he didn’t like studying at all. But his roommate said that he was the one who stayed up the latest at night, hiding under the covers and studying with a flashlight. I used to not understand people like that. Why didn’t they study when they should be studying? Why did they have to study when they were sleeping?”
Fu Shengyang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Right? Actually, they are also in pain inside. They are afraid that they will work hard but get nothing and be laughed at. So, they simply do it quietly, and no one will know if they fail."
An Xiaoyue thought for a moment, "They probably lack confidence too."
“The current situation is…” Fu Shengyang analyzed vividly, “Hua Lan likes Lao Xiao, and Lao Xiao also has plans for Hua Lan, but there are many uncertainties for him. He wants to see Hua Lan, but he can’t let any outsiders know that Hua Lan has a relationship with him, otherwise Hua Lan may become a weakness that others use to attack him.”
An Xiaoyue understood. "I get it."
Hua Lan likes Chu Xiao so much, but if she really wants to be with Chu Xiao, she will have to wait a long time.
However, whether Hua Lan can truly wait until the day Brother Chu is able to speak is another matter.
"Sigh~" An Xiaoyue sighed, "Whether it's President Ji and Lingxi, or Hualan and Brother Chu, it seems that it's not easy for everyone to be together."
Fu Shengyang squeezed her hand. "Yes, love is the emotion that is least under our control. Who you like is something you can't control."
An Xiaoyue hugged Fu Shengyang's neck, looking content, "We should stay together and cherish every day."
"Yes." Fu Shengyang put his arm around her waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
In the evening, after finishing their day's work, Leng Shide, Leng Yushan, and Fang Mei were driven by Leng Fangyi to Fuyuan for dinner.
An Xiaoyue took out the week's menu she had prepared and showed it to her grandfather so he could take a look and see if it was feasible.
After studying her case, three doctors surnamed Leng added or subtracted some parts from her original treatment and provided her with explanations.
After just a few words of conversation, An Xiaoyue felt that her mind had been opened up a lot.
"Staying in one environment for too long can easily lead to rigid thinking. It's better to communicate more with young people."
Leng Shide patted his granddaughter's shoulder with satisfaction, then looked at his grandson.
"Fang Yi, you still have me and your father at home, so you can go out and make your own way. At your age, if you're not going to get married and have children, just focus on doing your job well. Don't miss out on research or conferences; attend all the domestic and international conferences you should, and exchange ideas as much as possible. As for teaching, if you feel that the repetitive work is meaningless, then be decisive and quit to save some energy."
Leng Fang replied earnestly, "I'll remember, Grandpa."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. An Xiaoyue thought that she didn't necessarily have to become a doctor in clinical practice just because she studied medicine.
Once you're assigned to a specific department, the diseases you can treat will always be limited to just a few.
Even cardiologists and pulmonologists cannot readily name one or two medications to treat urinary system diseases.
An Xiaoyue's desire to stop working at the hospital grew stronger, but she hadn't made up her mind yet, so naturally she wouldn't tell anyone.
She won't utter a single word until she's figured out what the future holds.
Her family will support her and let her do whatever she wants.
She doesn't want to be disturbed by the outside world; she wants to clearly understand her own heart.
Besides accumulating clinical experience, another important aspect of an internship is figuring out whether you truly enjoy clinical work.
With this in mind, An Xiaoyue began her internship after the National Day holiday.
An Xiaoyue was still the same as always, driving her car and arriving at the hospital early.
Wearing a white coat, he waited for Hua Lan at the place where they usually met.
Perhaps it was the allure of the pastries that made Hualan arrive so early.
"Look, I didn't even have breakfast. I just made a cup of instant coffee to go with your pastries."
An Xiaoyue was amused by her words; Hua Lan was truly an easily satisfied person.
Just a little something delicious is enough to get her up early in the morning.
I must say, Hua Lan and Ling Xi are really good at playing together.
An Xiaoyue thought she should find a time to introduce Hua Lan and Ling Xi to each other.
We're both food lovers, so we're sure to have a lot of fun together.
Hua Lan noticed that Xiao Yue was staring at her cup. "Instant coffee, do you want some?"
"I want."
Hua Lan twisted open the cap directly, saying, "You drink from here; I've never drunk like this before."
"Okay."
An Xiaoyue took it, took a sip, and smacked her lips to savor the taste.
"It's similar to milk tea, but the coffee flavor is just a muddy taste. It feels like drinking milk tea."
"Yeah, I was just fooling myself, telling myself that if I drank coffee, I wouldn't be sleepy for long. This paste doesn't taste good, and I don't like bitter things, so I added honey."
"Haha~ You're so cute."
The two chatted and laughed, and after Hua Lan finished eating, it was almost time for them to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to report for duty.
