Chapter 476: Perfect Life
Happy times were always short. Before nine o’clock, the professor had already pa.s.sed out from drinking.
Little Oliver was also like a bear.
Zheng Ren was helpless. Su Yun left while Yang Lei was on duty. He was the only man left. The matter of sending the professor back would fall to him.
In the two cars, the professor and Little Oliver were lying in the back seat, the stench of alcohol filling the air.
It was already 10.30pm when they were sent back.
Zheng Ren then got into Xie Yiren’s car so that he could prepare to go back and take a bath. He wanted to relax and prepare for tomorrow’s surgery.
Although he had reached the Grandmaster level, Zheng Ren still treated every surgery with caution.
This was because he had a respect for life and also his profession.
The car drove very slowly. Perhaps under the professor’s influence, Xie Yiren played a few violin compositions on the player.
The quiet night, the gentle music, and her sweet body fragrance. Zheng Ren felt that this was life. The life he had lived before…was that of a single dog, with two constant, bitter streams of tears.
The car drove very slowly, and Xie Yiren seemed to enjoy the current atmosphere.
Her heart was filled with joy.
When they arrived at the villa where Zheng Ren lived, the Volvo XC60 slowly stopped. Zheng Ren was a little reluctant to part with her, but Chu Yanran was staying at Xie Yiren’s house tonight. Zheng Ren knew that the Little Yiren would never shamelessly invite him to have a midnight snack.
Although he really wanted to… He knew that Xie Yiren would not allow it.
As he got out of the car, the wind was chilly but Zheng Ren’s heart burned with a pa.s.sion.
Looking at Xie Yiren in the car, Zheng Ren did not move.
The strange thing was that the Xie Yiren herself did not change gears to drive home.
It felt like time had frozen over. The two of them just stood there, accompanied by the slight hum of the Volvo’s engine.
Zheng Ren could not feel the chill from the wind at all. Time pa.s.sed by minute by minute, the air filled with an inexplicable smell.
Zheng Ren opened his arms gently, looking at Xie Yiren with serious and attentive eyes.
Little Yiren had been looking at Zheng Ren from the corner of her eyes. Seeing him open his arms, her heart was racing.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Xie Yiren clenched her fists and made a gesture signalling for him to cheer up. She opened the door and came out from the car.
Xie Yiren’s unexpected action surprised Zheng Ren a little. However, at that moment, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly walked around to the front of the car and pulled Little Yiren into his embrace.
The strong breeze messed up her hair.
After hugging for a long time, Little Yiren placed her hand on her chest and separated herself from Zheng Ren. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Zheng Ren lightly on the lips. Like a dragonfly skimming the water, she turned around and ran into the car.
Zheng Ren was stunned.
“Go back and sleep early!” Xie Yiren reminded Zheng Ren behind the windscreen. She did not even dare to look at Zheng Ren.
With that, the Volvo XC60 seemed to have recovered from its stiffness… It left quickly, the roar of the engine sounding just like thunder.
Zheng Ren waved his hand. It was not until Xie Yiren drove the car into the garage that he reluctantly entered the house.
There was still some warmth on his lips and a lingering fragrance between his nose and mouth. Zheng Ren’s heart felt sweet. The past few days of hard work and fatigue had been swept away.
Zheng Ren felt that he was in the right condition now. He could perform ten TIPS surgeries in a row!
He was probably the only person who would use surgeries to measure his condition during a time like this.
It was very quiet that night. It was so quiet that Zheng Ren could hear his heartbeat. It was as if the little girl was still in his arms.
He fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.
They went to Xie Yiren’s house to have breakfast before heading to the emergency ward.
At 7.55am, Professor Rudolf Wagner arrived at the emergency ward on the dot like a Swiss clock.
However, he seemed a little different today. The professor’s eyes were red and bloodshot, the smell of alcohol still lingering around his body.
Professor Rudolf Wagner was still alright. Even Little Oliver was wobbling as he walked.
“Morning, Lil Fugui.” Chang Yue was not hungover at all. She greeted the professor as usual.
“Morning,” the professor said dejectedly. “Can someone tell me what I did yesterday! There’s still a surgery today and I’ve been looking forward to it. I was just thinking about drinking some beer and eating skewers. Haha, I might have drank a bit too much.”
Who the h.e.l.l knew he was going to drink himself silly?
Zheng Ren laughed as he looked at Professor Rudolf Wagner’s dejected expression. He asked, “Lil Fugui, why don’t we postpone the surgery today?”
“Don’t!” The professor jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He roared, “For today, I’m trying to learn Chinese. I don’t want to wait another day!”
“Sure.” Zheng Ren did not really care. He slept very well yesterday. Zheng Ren could do whatever surgery he wanted today whether it was shift changes, ward rounds, or escorting patients.
Zheng Ren was just about to go on stage when he heard a ‘ding dong’ sound.
Eh? Did the System still remember the mission?
He had almost used up all his surgical time and skill points. Zheng Ren urgently needed to complete the mission to replenish his treasury.
[Special Mission: Boundless Love.
Mission content: Teach Professor Rudolf Wagner the prostate interventional technique.
Mission reward: 20 skill points, 2,000 experience points, and the rest of the rewards will be calculated by the system.
Quest duration: 5 hours.]
Zheng Ren was stunned when he saw the System quest.
What the h.e.l.l was this? The rewards were not even comparable to a beginner’s quest.
Compared to the final stage of the Crown Jewel, it was like heaven and earth.
Moreover, it was rare for the system to say that the quest reward was still being calculated. What was the System trying to pull?
However, Zheng Ren thought about it again. The mission reward was unprecedentedly meager. That was probably why the System was still calculating the reward items.
Suddenly, Zheng Ren had an idea. Perhaps it was within the System’s calculation and had something to do with the professor’s level of learning.
Zheng Ren did not care about feelings like boundless love or the Holy Mother. He was also quite disgusted by these sorts of things. However, surgery and new surgical methods were all things that could cure patients and save lives. If one more person could learn it, then more patients could be saved.
He was not planning to keep it a secret from either Professor Rudolf Wagner or Gao Shaojie.
As for the benefits… Zheng Ren felt that as long as he could successfully complete the System’s mission, he would one day become the most amazing doctor in the world.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Professor Rudolf Wagner.
The professor seemed to sense hostility. Artistic people were usually more sensitive.
He ran to Zheng Ren’s side like a rabbit and smiled. “Um, boss, you have to teach me the surgery today. My condition is fine, it’s definitely not a problem!”
“Well, I’ll do a set of capillaries and you do the rest,” Zheng Ren said lightly. “It should only take a maximum of five hours. If it takes any longer, I’m afraid it might trigger other diseases in the patient.”
“Okay!” Professor Rudolf Wagner stood at attention and saluted. His hangover was now cured.
