Half a minute later, with a loud bang, the car door was forcefully slammed shut.
The man in the driver’s seat laughed devilishly, his eyes intently following the figure that was walking farther and farther away.
He mused to himself, "Wow, that girl sure has a temper."
Like, did you just realize that?
Cough, cough, cough, of course, he had experienced it many times before.
On this side, after Lu Jing entered the outpatient hall, he finally slowed down.
Yes, he had been walking fast on purpose.
He didn’t want anyone to see that shameless man associated with him.
As he stopped, he ran into a colleague from his department:
"Doctor Lu, good morning."
"Good morning, Dr. Yu, just having breakfast?"
The young man chuckled:
"Mm, I got up a bit late this morning."
Young people often have trouble getting up, which is understandable.
Lu Jing nodded with a smile:
"Better eat up quick, you have three minutes."
In three minutes, it would be officially time to clock in.
Although there was no formal rule about not eating after starting work, there was a ward round soon, who would have time then?
By the time the ward round was finished, it would nearly be noon, right?
Would there even be a need for breakfast then?
Fortunately, the young man ate quickly, stuffing the steamed buns in his hand into his mouth in just a moment.
Lu Jing watched, worried that he might choke.
After he finally managed to swallow, he picked up his soy milk and started drinking.
No need to wonder, having swallowed the buns so quickly, he must’ve felt quite stuffed and needed the soy milk to soothe his throat and intestines.
Lu Jing pursed his lips:
"Do you always eat breakfast ?" he asked.
It wasn’t just a one or two-day occurrence of getting up late, it’s quite common and normal for young people nowadays.
"Doctor Lu, you aren’t much older than us, are you?"
"Me? I’m 27, how old are you?"
There’s only a three-year difference, hardly any comparison really.
While he is already 27 and has returned from studying abroad with a Ph.D., I have just recently finished university and started my internship.
No comparison at all, comparing with others can be so frustrating! Thıs content belongs to novel{f}ire.net
Lu Jing suddenly burst into laughter:
"We just happen to bridge a gap."
True, a three-year generation gap.
Dr. Yu scratched the back of his head and then retorted:
"Is that so? being within five years of age still counts as being of the same generation, right?"
A three-year generation gap, wasn’t that an old thing from many years ago?
As they chatted, the elevator arrived.
At this time, the elevator was really crowded.
Fortunately, Dr. Yu had quite a gentlemanly demeanor, protecting Lu Jing the whole way.
If the floors weren’t so high, making it impractical to use the stairs, he really wouldn’t want to squeeze into this darn thing in the early morning.
"Let’s not be late," Dr. Yu muttered to himself.
Lu Jing looked at the floors with anxiety:
Every floor had people getting on and off, which was really wasting time.
Both of them silently prayed in their hearts, hoping they wouldn’t be late, while being late was okay sometimes, today the whole department was there.
Floor by floor, they finally reached the floor of their orthopedics department.
In the dead of winter, they were both sweating from the squeeze.
"Come on, come on, Doctor Lu, hurry, we’re not late yet."
The two quickened their pace.
There was an unwritten rule in the hospital, unless it’s an emergency, all medical staff must not run!
Mainly to avoid causing panic.
Thus, they could only walk faster.
Finally, when they both reached the office, there was no one there.
In a hurry, they grabbed their white coats, putting them on while rushing towards the corridor.
