Chapter 773: [(773)] Someone heard it. Chapter 773: [(773)] Someone heard it. Xie Wanying considered what she had said to Doctor Yin before, asking Senior Cao for his opinion, “I told Doctor Yin that as a doctor, he should know what’s best for her. Senior Cao, was I right or wrong in saying that?”
Could his junior actually say such a thing to a man? A complex look flashed in Cao Yong’s eyes as he said, “What you said can’t be called wrong, it can only be described as a little insensitive. Of course, I know you said that for their own good. But sometimes emotions can’t calm down.”
Xie Wanying asked, “Senior Cao, can’t the brain fully control emotions?”
“A person’s self-control is a reflex behavior trained from childhood. The education we receive from an early age tells us what we can and cannot do. This is the most basic medical theory, the conditional reflex. Emotions are a complex combination of unconditional and conditional reflexes, so sometimes they can’t be controlled,” Cao Yong said and then told his junior the truth, “You need to understand that doctors are also ordinary people with emotions and desires.”
In other words, what she asked Doctor Yin to do in controlling his emotions as a doctor was somewhat nonsensical.
Senior Cao was an expert and spoke bluntly. After hearing this, Xie Wanying thought: Love is truly complicated.
“He is a doctor; he should indeed understand. If he really likes her, he will think of her in everything he does,” Cao Yong didn’t completely dismiss her suggestion.
“Senior Cao, do you know what kind of person Doctor Yin is?” Xie Wanying was worried about her childhood friend and inquired about him.
Yin Fengchun, was not his junior from the eight-year program, specializing in urology; he didn’t know much about him. To get to know more, you’d probably have to ask Professor Wei. Cao Yong asked his junior, “Are you afraid he’s not a good person?”
“What worries me is that pressure can crush a person.”
The meaning behind his junior sister’s words was intriguing. Cao Yong listened intently.
Should she tell Senior Cao about her friend’s issue? Xie Wanying remembered Wu Lixuan had once said that Senior Cao was trustworthy and a good listener, which indicated her friend’s trust in Senior Cao. Perhaps Senior Cao could be of some help.
“I will keep your secrets,” Cao Yong said seriously, seeing that she had something to say.
Xie Wanying began, “She had a childhood friend, one she had played with since they were kids. After elementary school, her family had a major crisis that prevented her from continuing her schooling. The boy was accepted into middle school and had plans to study abroad. His mother didn’t say it outright but disliked them meeting. She didn’t dare to approach him, yet he came to find her. Until one day, he died from an electric shock. His mother blamed her for his death. He had an accident outside on his own that day, completely unrelated to her, yet his mother wouldn’t let her see him for the last time.”
Electrocuted to death? That was rare, Cao Yong thought as a doctor.
“At the time of his accident, there were many rumors. Some said it was because of a conflict between his relatives and his parents that someone had strung live wires over the gate of his house. In any case, it had nothing to do with Li Xuan. But, Li Xuan didn’t even blame his mother. My mom often says that Li Xuan is very good at dealing with people,” Xie Wanying said.
“Is she doing okay now?” Cao Yong asked, gripping her hand tightly; he knew his friend must be upset by this tragedy.
“Li Xuan is very strong. Don’t listen to her saying she only graduated from elementary school; she worked part-time for her family while attending night school. A few years later, she took a self-taught associate degree, and after completing that, she went on to self-study for a bachelor’s degree. She got her bachelor’s degree last year. She loves reading; she just never had the chance.”
Those who managed to get a degree through self-study in the nineties were considered exceptional talents in society.
Cao Yong’s gaze drifted to the distance, where it seemed someone was crouching there, eavesdropping.
