Chapter 275: [275] Everyone says that she is ‘sweet-tongued Chapter 275: [275] Everyone says that she is ‘sweet-tongued “What do you think makes us good to you? How is Teacher Tan good to you?”
Teacher Xiao Sun, what’s with her today? After asking her a question, she repeated the same question. Xie Wanying was perplexed and answered, “All the teachers are very good to me, good in every way.” But how could she speak when “good in every way” was the case?
“Good in every way?” Sun Yubo seemed to have discovered a new world from her lips, exclaiming, “Your mouth is so sweet!”
This compliment from Teacher Xiao Sun made her not know whether to laugh or cry, and she shook her head in denial, “Teacher Sun, you don’t have to flatter me. My mouth is the least sweet, I don’t suck up to people.”
“So you only tell the bare truth, right?”
Xie Wanying nodded, she indeed wasn’t good at lying or saying things against her heart.
Teacher Xiao Sun was clearly not satisfied with her position, and with a curl of his lips, he pointed at her saying, “How do you suck up to the nurses in the department? Calling them ‘sister’ so sweetly makes their hearts bloom with joy.”
A laugh erupted from close by, right across from her. Xie Wanying turned her head and saw what she wasn’t expecting to see.
Teacher Tan, who was trying to cover the corners of his mouth with a medical record, was visibly no longer able to maintain his cold demeanor.
It was evident that everyone, including the aloof Teacher Tan, saw her calling the nurses “sister” so sweetly in the department.
“Dare you say your mouth isn’t sweet?”
Teacher Xiao Sun’s finger was almost poking at her nose.
Xie Wanying didn’t understand why the teacher was fixated on this issue and said, “Teacher Sun, it’s important to get along well with everyone in the same department, this is what you taught us. Moreover, the nurses are really nice people.”
“They are nice people, so why do you call them ‘sister’? You know, I also want to learn from you and start calling them ‘sister’,” complained Sun Yubo pitifully.
Suddenly, the surrounding area erupted into boisterous laughter.
It turned out that many seniors who were passing by or standing across had heard their conversation from the beginning.
Some of the seniors flat out told Sun Yubo, “Do you believe that if you start calling them ‘sister,’ you’d be asking for a beating?”
“I do believe, of course, I believe. That’s why I’m jealous of her, isn’t it? She can solve problems just by calling a few ‘sisters,’ and I want that too,” said Sun Yubo, holding his head, his eyes red with envy.
Teacher Xiao Sun was jealous of her closeness with the nurse ‘sisters’? Xie Wanying blinked her eyes; there was no way to address that.
Removing the cap from his pen, Tan Kelin corrected a part of the prescription he had written for her, and then signed his name.
After receiving the medical record the teacher had reviewed, Xie Wanying carefully studied and learned from the corrections he had made. Taking the medical record back, she quickly ran back to the ward.
Watching her retreating figure, Sun Yubo sighed again, “She’s really single-minded.”
The others understood his implication. If it were any other medical student and a teacher wanted to chat proactively with them, the student would be overjoyed and stay eagerly to build a closer relationship with the teacher. But she didn’t; it seemed like she had eyes only for the patients, clomping back to the ward.
Yet, it was exactly such a single-minded student who had won the hearts of this group of teachers: perhaps she reminded them of their own days as medical students. Back in the ward, aside from Bed 7’s patient, Xie Wanying turned her attention to checking on Bed 3’s condition before going back to the dormitory.
With time pressing, Xie Wanying planned to eat dinner in the hospital cafeteria before returning to her duties in the department.
She wouldn’t, like some people, insist on finishing work before eating when working overtime. Regular meals were very important to maintain good health for someone who intended to become a doctor. Xie Wanying always remembered this.
After finishing her meal, and delivering her stainless steel tray to the tray return area at the entrance of the cafeteria, Xie Wanying suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
