Chapter 680: [680] I actually care about her thoughts Chapter 680: [680] I actually care about her thoughts “He claimed he had data to prove that daydreaming is beneficial to the brain’s rest. People from our hospital’s neurosurgery department often speak in nimble witticisms, making it hard to discern what’s true and what’s not,” He Guangyou continued quoting Huang Zhilei, indicating his own firm belief in the capabilities of the neurosurgery department at their hospital.
“Huang Zhilei?” Song Xueling repeated the name, as though it slightly jogged his memory.
Sensing that the name piqued his interest, He Guangyou reminded him, “You should have seen him. Last week, didn’t they from neurosurgery run over to our Hepatobiliary Surgery to help save a pregnant woman? The doctor with glasses was Huang Zhilei.”
After jogging his memory and orienting his thoughts, Song Xueling confirmed, “He’s from Dr. Cao’s team.”
“Right. He’s Dr. Cao’s junior, promoted to attending physician now, this year’s resident in charge, running all over the hospital. We privately nickname him ‘Hero Huang with glasses,'” said He Guangyou, chuckling at the mention of Huang Zhilei’s nickname.
Being called Hero Huang–because Huang Zhilei was just too enthusiastic and righteous in his day-to-day. It’s not that enthusiasm and righteousness are bad, just that too much of a good thing could be problematic.
“Dr. Cao mentors him,” Song Xueling said with his lips forming the words again, obviously with a tinge of puzzled resignation.
“I know what you’re trying to say. Was he not a bit too impulsive and hasty last time? Yes, sometimes he is like that. Dr. Cao has been criticizing him for that,” said He Guangyou.
“Why?” asked Song Xueling.
He wasn’t asking why Huang Zhilei could be impulsive but rather why Cao Yong would choose to mentor someone with such obvious flaws.
Cao Yong was a widely renowned technical boss, especially in the field of neurosurgery, known as the pinnacle of surgery, with an extraordinary reputation. He was just as famous over in Beidu. If Cao Yong wanted to recruit people, a single word from him would most likely attract the best surgical prospects from across the country.
“I don’t know,” He Guangyou shook his head decisively. He wasn’t the worm in Cao Yong’s stomach; how could he know what Cao Yong was thinking?
Cao Yong, Song Xueling thought about the two times he had seen him, once before and once this morning. This legendary god-like figure in neurosurgery seemed to have little interest in him, not even asking for his name once. On the other hand, he noticed that this technical boss showed quite an interest in Xie Wanying.
Right, where was she?
Realizing she’d long since left, Song Xueling suddenly remembered that during the moment he cut out the tumor, what subconsciously crossed his mind was a desire to know what her expression would be like.
He jumped at his own thought.
“Where did Xie Wanying run off to?” He Guangyou happened to turn around and asked the others this question.
Gong Xiangbin knew and told the two men, “She followed the anesthesiologist to escort the patient back to the ward.”
Patients who had successful surgeries didn’t need the surgeon to escort them back to the ward, just the anesthesiologist. Everyone was puzzled about why she accompanied the patient to the ward.
“Maybe she’s new and doesn’t understand,” suggested Gong Xiangbin.
“She’s been with General Surgery Department Two for three months; how could she not understand?” He Guangyou countered his speculation.
“She probably wanted to observe the patient’s postoperative condition more closely,” Song Xueling finally spoke up.
He Guangyou noticed that the normally reserved Talented Scholar Song seemed to speak more words when the subject involved Xie Wanying.
Caught by his senior’s gaze, Song Xueling’s mouth twisted awkwardly, as he too couldn’t quite understand what was happening with himself.
Xie Wanying, who had returned to the ward earlier, spotted her classmate Zhao Zhaowei peeking around at the ward’s entrance.
“Yingying,” Zhao Zhaowei called out, gesturing for her to come over for a chat after she finished escorting the patient.
