Wasn’t she a good sleeper?
During her time in the hospital, she could hardly be stirred awake, and each time she woke, she was extremely grouchy, a mood she always ended up taking out on Gu Ning.
No one should be deceived by Gu Ning’s dark complexion and his seeming aloofness.
He may seem like a man of few words and difficult to communicate with.
People perceive him as a cold, aloof iceberg or a rigid stone.
However, in Tang Yuxin’s eyes, he is like a sponge.
Even if you were to punch him, his rebound power is remarkable.
Of course, his ability to absorb grievances is also extraordinary.
No matter what happens, he never loses his cool.
At most, he would furrow his brows, and then let the matter pass like water under the bridge.
Only a person with such a temperament could tolerate a woman like Zhang Xiaomei.
He even risked his life for her.
She picked up her pillow and covered her face with it.

As for Zhang Xiaomei, she was the one who saved Gu Ning’s life in this lifetime.
She rescued him multiple times — he was not someone for others to take advantage of.
If things were truly so, she could have simply let him perish in the mountains back then.
Why would she have put in so much effort to save him, only to let others take advantage of him now?
Wishful thinking indeed.
What a dream.
Such audacity.

Get lost.
In her heart, she was unusually swearing.
If in future she sees that woman, Zhang Xiaomei, she will tell her to go as far away as possible.
Troubling other men is fine, but she better stop being a curse on Gu Ning.
She let her mind wander.
All her thoughts were filled with Gu Ning and Zhang Xiaomei.
It felt as if she had been poisoned by their names.
The poison was deadly, and she was reaching a critical point where the poison could take her life.
The next morning, she woke up to the sound of a whistle.
She sat up abruptly and was now completely awake.
It felt like the past few days had been a drunken stupor, and she was now coming back to sobriety.
She massaged her temples, got out of bed, washed herself and got dressed, ready to start work.
The long-lost hospital, she had returned.
Actually, she had only been away for a little over ten days, but it felt like ten years.
Perhaps it had indeed been ten years because most people would never have her kind of luck.
These ten days were a matter of life and death.
She entered the hospital and first went to the director’s office to resume her duty.
As the director had personally granted her leave, she had the advantage of choosing when to return.
She had used this backdoor opportunity from the director.
See, she could take leave whenever she wanted.
“Xiaotang, you’re ok, right?”
The director, Zhu, looked at Tang Yuxin with concern.
Externally, Tang Yuxin looked fine, except for having lost some weight and looking slightly pale.
It seemed that she didn’t have any major issues, but was she really fine internally?
“I’m ok,” Tang Yuxin gave an embarrassed smile, “Sorry to worry you, director.
It’s just low blood sugar, but I’m much better now.”
What else could the director say?
That she had a narrow escape from death and it’s a blessing in disguise?
Or that she was lucky to survive the ordeal?
Most people could travel normally, whilst she barely managed to escape from the snowy mountain, and then got stranded on the highway, almost starving to death.
Seeing the sympathy in the director’s eyes, Tang Yuxin’s embarrassment arose once again.
This situation seemed…
self-inflicted…
But, if given another chance to choose between safety or to save someone else, she would still choose to save the person.
Because, whether externally or internally, she was a physician at heart.
“Well, your leave is over and you can return to your duties,” Director Zhu said, smiling.
“Oh, by the way,” he seemed to remember something.
“Tong Shu’s family is known for their traditional Chinese medicine, and she has been exposed to it since childhood.
You both could learn a lot from each other when you’re free.”
“Understood, thank you, director.”
That’s what Tang Yuxin said, and her facial expression was still as bright as ever, but she didn’t feel the same way on the inside.
Not because she thinks highly of herself or looks down upon others.
It’s Tong Shu’s arrogance, her pride in her family’s traditional medicine, and her apparent disdain for those physicians who lack her wealth and heritage that irk Tang Yuxin.
In ancient times, Tang Yuxin would have been referred to as a ‘barefoot doctor’ – a term for local, self-taught healthcare workers.
Back in the emergency department, despite being away for half a month, there had been an unending flow of patients.
What the hospital lacked were doctors, not patients.
Even with a few more Tang Yuxins, they might still fall short.
Fellow doctors like Li Jia and Lin Yile, who were on break with her, had already returned.
“Why didn’t you go home?”
Lin Yile asked Tang Yuxin in a low voice, “Your uncle Tang called me and you weren’t picking up your phone.
I didn’t want him to worry, so I had to lie and say you went outside to study.
You said you were going home, so where did you run off to?”
“Ah, it’s a long story…”
Tang Yuxin sighed, “The past is too painful to recall, even to mention it brings tears to my eyes.”
The corners of Lin Yile’s mouth twitched slightly.
She never knew that in some moments, Tang Yuxin could channel her inner poet.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that,” Tang Yuxin hung her stethoscope around her neck, “The patients are here.”
Indeed, the patients had arrived.
The Emergency Department of the Military Hospital saw a constant stream of patients, and most of them were usually quite serious.
At this moment, several people with bleeding scalps were brought in.
They had been in a car accident, injuring quite a few people.
Before Tang Yuxin and Lin Yile could proceed to exchange more words, they were already occupied with their work.
They were so busy that they forgot everything else, even eating.
By the time Tang Yuxin returned tiredly to her dorm, she found that her dorm door was half open.
There was someone in her dormitory.
However, who was it and when did they come?
She quickly ran inside.
Had she forgotten to lock the door when she left, or had a thief broken into her dormitory?
But who would dare to steal from a hospital?
As these thoughts raced through her mind, she didn’t stop walking.
In the blink of an eye, she was standing at the doorway.
So many things in her room were missing.
Where were they?
Where was her blanket?
What kind of a thief was this?
They didn’t steal anything else but her blanket.
Was it a pervert?
“Why are you standing there?
Come in.”
Suddenly, a deep voice startled Tang Yuxin.
The voice was …
Gu Ning’s.
Gu Ning walked out of the kitchen carrying two bowls, and placed them on the table.
