Chapter 366 - 366 Sisters Spring

Chapter 366: Sister’s Spring Chapter 366: Sister’s Spring “Alright, we’ll stop asking,” declared three senior colleagues from the same hometown simultaneously, with what might be construed as a hint of sympathy.

Wu Lixuan’s face turned pale when she heard this, looking towards her childhood friend to see what she would do.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the three, “Don’t jump to conclusions.”

The others turned their heads to see Sun Yubo speaking.

Why was Teacher Xiao Sun getting worked up? Xie Wanying was taken aback.

Sun Yubo was angry that his prized student was being doubted. Unlike Tan Kelin, he was young and lacked the skill to keep his cool.

Liu Chengran quickly tugged at him. It wasn’t just a few people today—others from different departments were listening in.

Sun Yubo looked up to see his fellow countryman, Zhou Junpeng, smiling like a fox, which set off a wave of panic in him. Then he glanced at Fu Xinheng and Zhu Huicang who were sitting next to Zhou.

Zhu Huicang wasn’t thinking too deeply about it, as he also believed that a rookie just starting in clinical practice couldn’t rise to the top overnight—there was room for observation.

Looking for his teacup, Fu Xinheng asked, “Don’t we have tea to drink?”

Having just been scared out of her wits, Wu Lixuan was relieved and quickly went to make tea for her childhood friend’s teachers, calling the waiter to bring more water. Seeing that her childhood friend was overwhelmed, Xie Wanying stood up to lend a hand.

“Is the tea ready?” Kang Mingzhu came over to visit again, seeing that they had finished eating and were preparing tea. She beckoned to the people in another private room, “Come over here, we’re brewing Gongfu white tea.”

Consequently, colleagues from another private room started to arrive one after another. The room became bustling and lively as those present helped rearrange chairs to make space.

“I’ve been meaning to come over, but he’s been on the phone the whole time,” said someone, sitting between Zhu Huicang and Cao Yong, pointing at Cao Yong.

Kang Mingzhu walked over to Xie Wanying and whispered, “Senior Brother Yu is also here tonight; I originally wanted you to meet him.”

So that was the meaning of Senior Kang urging her to try the dishes earlier—Xie Wanying finally realized.

“It just so happened your dishes were served, and Teacher Tan is with you, so I know it wasn’t convenient for you to come over,” Kang Mingzhu said, understanding the challenges her junior faced.

Who is Senior Brother Yu?

“Senior Brother Yu’s name is Yu Xuexian, he’s over there, sitting with Senior Cao and Senior Zhu. He’s in our Ward Five, a much more skilled at endoscopy technician than I am,” Kang Mingzhu explained.

Listening to Senior Kang’s tone, it was clear she greatly admired Senior Brother Yu. Xie Wanying blinked and observed Senior Kang’s facial expression while sneakily glancing over at Senior Brother Yu to see what he looked like. She saw a glasses-wearing, gentle and scholarly brother, of similar age to Senior Zhu and Senior Cao, quite tall, wearing a simple and modest white shirt. From a distance, the laughter among the three brothers could be heard, suggesting that he too was a person of good humor.

“You didn’t know he’s a busy man?” Zhu Huicang immediately countered what Yu Xuexian had said.

“I know he’s a busy man, but from before dinner to after, his phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Look, is he taking another phone call now?”

It seemed that Senior Cao was indeed busy tonight. Xie Wanying looked over and saw Cao Yong sitting and attentively listening to his phone.

While on the call, he seemed to notice her looking and suddenly turned his head, smiling briefly.

Having been caught by Senior Cao, she had sneaked a glance, Xie Wanying quickly turned her head away.

Zhu Huicang struck up a conversation with Cao Yong as soon as the latter hung up the phone, asking, “Who was calling?”

“From America. It’s daytime over there, isn’t it?” Cao Yong replied.

“What did they want you for?” Zhu Huicang inquired.
