Chapter 675: [(675)] Boys should take more initiative Chapter 675: [(675)] Boys should take more initiative Generally, girls, including female medical students, are a bit disadvantaged when it comes to physical tasks, hoping the boys would lend a hand or even take over completely.
He had prepared himself to help her carry the load, but to his surprise, she took it all without a word. Wait, something wasn’t right. He suddenly realized and no longer sauntered like a cat but hurried back.
Indeed, back with the teachers, all the teachers were eyeing her, the female strongwoman, with astonishment.
“This–” Qiu Ruiyun asked, turning to Song Xueling, who had rushed back in a hurry.
Song Xueling’s indifferent eyes betrayed a bit of panic, it was unusual for him to scramble for a defense for such a matter. The words that came out of his mouth were not entirely confident: “I wanted to help her carry them, but she ran off, as if she didn’t see me.”
The final phrase supposed she hadn’t seen him, Song Xueling’s refined face stiffened slightly.
“Let him carry it,” Qiu Ruiyun said to Xie Wanying. His original intention had been for the boys to do the lifting, as the medical records were numerous and heavy.
“No need, they’re not heavy,” Xie Wanying responded.
What was the big deal? She had carried them alone during her internship in neurosurgery, and when no other students were around in General Surgery Department Two, she was used to it.
“These people from General Surgery Department Two are known for their indifferent nature,” Qiu Ruiyun muttered, unable to imagine asking a girl to carry so many records and run with them. He himself couldn’t have done it.
“If she wants to carry it, let her carry it,” Tao Zhijie said with a smile. Clearly, his attitude was starkly different from the others.
The others were stunned by his response, as it didn’t seem characteristic of Tao Zhijie’s usual style.
“If you find them heavy, let them help you at any time,” Tao Zhijie continued, his eyes curving into a crescent like a moon in the arc of the night sky, incredibly gentle and tolerant.
Xie Wanying couldn’t help but curve her lips upward, sharing a smile with Senior Tao, her clear voice replying, “Yes, Senior.”
Even if the girl didn’t mind the weight, it shouldn’t be . Regardless of what Tao Zhijie and the others thought, Qiu Ruiyun took the initiative to take away a large portion of the medical records and tossed them to Song Xueling, giving the Beidu Talented Scholar a look: Shouldn’t a boy take the initiative, don’t you know? How could they let a girl think all Beidu people are ? He couldn’t manage Tan Kelin and his crowd, but he had to keep his junior in line as a man from Beidu.
Carrying the medical records, Song Xueling exhaled softly: Actually, he didn’t need his senior to say it, he had thought to himself that he definitely wouldn’t walk behind her next time. If next time she had to carry a large box by herself, he was sure he’d be teased by all the guys.
The small incident didn’t affect the work, and rounding continued. Upon entering the small ICU area, proper protective isolation and disinfection had to be performed. The patient’s records were brought out, mostly for Tao Zhijie, who had just returned to ask questions, and to listen to the reports from the attending doctors. During the rounds, the smile in his eyes would sometimes freeze and turn solemn, probably when he was pondering important matters. At other times, his expression tended to be relaxed and comfortable.
Senior Tao and Teacher Tan clearly had different styles. Senior Tao exuded warmth, making him very approachable to patients. Teacher Tan used a cooler sense of authority that made patients wary of acting out. Xie Wanying felt what needed to be studied was how Senior Tao managed the patients so well with what seemed like a lack of constraining force, a goal that seemed unattainable in the imagination of medical students.
