Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1892: Who’s Treating
"Are you with Doctor Chang?" Cao Yong turned his back on everyone else, sounding rather calm over the phone.
"Yes, Doctor Chang came to the school for a run and happened to meet me," Xie Wanying said. "He said he’d take me to buy breakfast."
What a coincidence? More like intentional. Huang Zhilei swung the towel in his hand, wishing he could hurl it through the phone at the guy’s face: How dare he have improper thoughts about his junior sister? This guy deserves a beating.
"Give the phone to him," Cao Yong said.
Cao Senior was probably going to discuss the patient’s condition with the attending physician. Xie Wanying thought so, and handed her phone to the senior in front of her, saying, "Teacher Chang, Senior Cao wants to ask you about the patient in bed 16."
Upon hearing this, Chang Jiawei shivered, perhaps from catching a cold from the chilly wind. After steadying himself, he took the phone from her hand.
"Hello, what’s up, Dr. Cao?"
"You guys are going to the KFC at the entrance to buy breakfast. I’ll send someone over to help you take it, otherwise, you two won’t be able to carry so much. Today’s breakfast is my treat," Cao Yong said politely, determined not to let a playboy buy food for his juniors.
"There’s no need for that between us, Dr. Cao. Colleagues from neurosurgery are my colleagues too. Treating you all to a KFC meal is no big deal. No matter how many there are, breakfast is definitely on me this morning," Chang Jiawei insisted, not willing to let go of this opportunity. Treating a few more people was no big deal, but he couldn’t lose the target he’d deliberately come for in the morning.
The senior and the mentor were generous, competing to treat them. Xie Wanying thought enviously, maybe someday she could afford to be so magnanimous in front of her juniors too.
"I’m not just being polite," Cao Yong said brightly. "You helped her classmate’s family in treatment. Her classmate is my junior, and it’s you who deserve the thanks."
Emphasizing the special nature of his relationship with her, Chang Jiawei could sense it and squinted, humming a little: "Let me tell you, Cao Yong, you didn’t know that her classmate wants to become an orthopedic doctor, did you? Her classmate will be my junior in the future, so no thanks are needed." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Junior brothers and sisters and future juniors are not the same," Cao Yong corrected his error.
"Do you have to pay for this?" Chang Jiawei’s expression changed, realizing the other was unyielding despite the talk.
"Yes," Cao Yong showed no sign of relenting.
"I have an idea, let’s let Yingying decide who should pay for this," Chang Jiawei, feeling his temper rise, turned around with the phone and asked her, "Yingying, who do you think should treat? I proposed it first, so it should be me, right?"
Are they really so concerned about who treats whom? Xie Wanying was momentarily taken aback.
"Why put her in a difficult position?" Cao Yong could hear him, and there was a strong sense of displeasure in his lowered voice.
"Cao Yong, it’s only right for her to choose. It’s like both of us inviting her for a meal. Eventually, she’ll have to face this kind of decision," said Chang Jiawei, curling his lips with confidence that sooner or later Student Xie would need to face this. With a meaningful curve directed at Student Xie, he added, "Yingying, when several departments’ teachers invite you to a meal, you’d better first think carefully about whose meal to accept."
Teacher Chang’s sudden words left Xie Wanying feeling puzzled.
There aren’t that many teachers inviting her for meals. Teacher Tan and Senior Brother Tao invited her to meals when she wasn’t the only student being invited. Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Huang took care of all junior brothers and sisters in her class, not just her alone.
