“So, can I sit here?” Li Lan asked Qin Xue.
“Sure, feel free to sit anywhere,” Qin Xue generously replied.
This is a public place after all, not just hers alone.
The other party was only asking for her opinion, merely showing her respect!
“Thank you!” Li Lan said with a smile as she placed her meal on the table.
“Qin Xue, were you a doctor before?” Li Lan asked, recalling her exquisite surgical skills.
“Well, don’t laugh. I never worked as a doctor in a hospital before.
Everything I know, I learned from an old man when I was young.
The set of tools I have was given to me by that old man when he passed away.”
Qin Xue made up an imaginary old man. Otherwise, how would she explain where she got her medical skills from!
“Oh, I see. That’s lucky. What a wonderful encounter.
You must have had a tough time learning all these skills.”
Li Lan thought that having such remarkable skills must have required going through a lot of hardships.
“Yes, it was indeed tough,” she reminiscing about her years learning medicine.
Were they not full of hardships? Any free moment was spent buried in medical books.
Every anatomy class made her throw up from the stress.
Every day, she had to memorize a lot of prescriptions, and the Chinese herb prescriptions in verse that her grandpa required her to learn!
Thinking about that period almost brings her to tears! But all the hard work has led to her current achievements.
“Hmm, learning medicine is indeed hard. I respect you for that,” Li Lan smiled and told Qin Xue.
“Actually, a lot of medical studies involves rote memorization. As long as you have a good grasp on how to do it, it’s manageable,” said Qin Xue.
Qin Xue believed it was crucial to have interest in the subject of medicine.
If there was no interest, learning it would be in vain.
People are strange. They seem to pick up interesting things effortlessly.
Conversely, if it’s not interesting, they could put in all the effort in the world
and still not get it.
“What you said is very true, indeed.”
Chen Hao, who happened to pass by and heard Qin Xue’s reply, immediately chimed in.
Qin Xue smiled and nodded to Chen Hao, but Li Lan greeted him, “Dr. Chen, aren’t you eating yet?”
Li Lan and Chen Hao had been on night shift the day before.
“Um, may I sit here?” Chen Hao asked, noticing the two empty seats.
“Please do!” Qin Xue said, noticing Li Lan’s glance in her direction.
“Thanks!” Chen Hao voiced his gratitude, placing his meal on the table before sitting down.
“Er, have you eaten yet, Qin Xue?” Chen Hao asked, observing Qin Xue’s empty table.
“No, I’m just here to get soup for my husband. Master Zhu is busy right now.
So, I’m waiting here for a bit while he gets it.” she explained.
Qin Xue didn’t realize how odd it looked to be in the cafeteria without eating anything.
“Oh, I see! Your husband is really lucky,” Chen Hao said in a low voice, dejectedly.
Qin Xue smiled but did not respond, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Li Lan glanced at Qin Xue and then at Chen Hao and pursed her lips.
‘Qin Xue, are you eight months pregnant?” Li Lan asked, breaking the silence.
“Not yet, just over six months,” Qin Xue said with a smile!
It’s the result of her and Chu Molin’s luck from last time!
She had heard that it happened in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar last year, and now it was the end of May.
Indeed, she is over six months, almost seven months, pregnant.
“Wow, I thought you were eight months along with that big belly,” Li Lan said, surprised.
“Hehe, that’s what people who don’t know think!
Because I’m carrying twins, my belly looks much bigger than others’ Qin Xue said, caressing her belly with a look of bliss on her face.
“Qin Xue, you are so lucky.. Everyone else gets just one, but you got two on your first try,” Li Lan expressed her envy of Qin Xue’s good fortune!
