Lu Jing clicked his tongue and didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Jiang Ye still had to watch over the boiling water in the pot; otherwise, he’d surely chase after him.
Boiling dumplings is so convenient, it hardly takes any time.
The couple ate quickly, and soon, today’s lunch was taken care of.
Checking the time, there was still a full hour before work. The most update n0vels are published on novel•fire.net
The outpatient clinic starts at two o’clock, unlike the inpatient department, which requires constant vigilance in case a patient has an emergency.
So, by comparison, the outpatient clinic is better, with regular hours from eight to five, not to mention a two-hour lunch break.
No wonder everyone wanted to work in the clinic, but unfortunately, it was on a rotating weekly schedule.
And only attending-level physicians were qualified to work in the outpatient clinic.
A wave of drowsiness hit him, and he couldn’t help but yawn:
"Jiang Ye, I’ll take a nap. Call me when it’s time."
The man was tidying up the table:
"Sure, go get some sleep."
He was really so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open. Yawning, he went into the bedroom.
As soon as his body touched the bed, within seconds, he fell asleep.
Ten minutes later, the man came in to check and saw that he was already sleeping soundly.
He walked over quietly to pull up the covers, and after looking at the sleeping woman for a good while, he reluctantly left the room.
He hadn’t been at work for just one morning, and there was already so much to deal with.
He didn’t leave the house, just sat on the sofa, and started handling matters with his phone.
He’d deal with as much as he could for the time being; he still had to watch the time to wake her up.
At one forty, Jiang Ye had already processed seven or eight urgent documents in a row.
He rubbed his forehead and stood up.
In the room, the woman was still asleep, showing no signs of waking throughout.
Jiang Ye was reluctant but had to wake her up forcefully.
Lu Jing then opened his eyes groggily:
"Is it time?" he asked.
"Yeah, it’s one forty."
Hearing this, he really didn’t want to get up, as he was sleeping so comfortably.
But then, a working man couldn’t just do as he pleased, could he?
"I’ll take a moment."
Suddenly, he just couldn’t recover right away; his whole body was soft and he couldn’t muster any energy.
Jiang Ye saw this and sat down by the bed, then thoughtfully started to massage her.
"Let me knead it for you. If it’s too hard, tell me."
Lu Jing would definitely not refuse, such an enjoyable thing, how could he?
He offered his hands willingly.
The man chuckled and began to knead slowly and deliberately.
And it was indeed quite comfortable.
The laziness was kneaded away, and he felt rejuvenated.
"It’s one fifty now; time to go."
"Mmh, no rush; we have time."
He couldn’t let his wife hurry in a panic.
Luckily, the fire brigade was just a few minutes’ walk from the hospital.
Lu Jing was still feeling rushed though, and thought to himself that he shouldn’t sleep in so late tomorrow; he needed to get up ten minutes earlier.
After a quick face wash, he grabbed his clothes and bag and went downstairs.
Clearly, he was going to be late for work today.
Fortunately, being a few minutes late to the outpatient clinic wasn’t a big deal.
But once could be an exception; he couldn’t let it happen again—work required a work ethic, after all!
At the hospital entrance, Jiang Ye dropped him off and was about to leave when Lu Jing called out:
"Just go back; I’ll go in myself."
He was already here; what could happen?
