Huo Jingrui had also walked up to Yunyi’s side and whispered to her, intentionally keeping his voice low, "I’m all sorted."
Doctor Qiu looked towards Yunyi. "Doctor Chu, who might this be?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI(F)ire.net
Yunyi glanced at the scheming man. "This is my partner, Huo Jingrui."
Huo Jingrui had been waiting for this opportunity. "Hello, Doctor Qiu. Hello, everyone."
While speaking, he also distributed the bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candies he was holding to everyone. "I’ll be counting on all of you to take good care of Yunyi in the future," he said.
Yunyi looked at him with a smile, marveling at how the man had changed. He had been such a cold person before, but now he understood the ways of the world.
If one day he regained the memories of his past two lives, I wonder what his expression would be when he learned about what he did today?
Cui Yintang from the logistics department was quite lively. "Doctor Chu, your partner is really good to you! The two of you truly are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Comrade Huo, rest assured, we will certainly help look after Doctor Chu for you."
From just a look at Huo Jingrui’s stature, Doctor Qiu could tell that this young man must have spent time in the military. He had transferred from the military region to Hua’an Farm Reclamation, and he had a special affection for soldiers, which made his gaze towards Yunyi even softer.
After the pleasantries, it was time for work. Huo Jingrui gave Yunyi a few instructions and then left.
Doctor Qiu introduced everyone in the infirmary to Yunyi. "There are only six of us in the infirmary, and each person can take one day off every week. However, you, I, and Comrade Guo Rongrong from the pharmacy are required to take one night shift every week, while nurses Chen Xiaojuan and Kong Jiaqiao each have two night shifts per week. Is that alright with you?"
Yunyi listened attentively and nodded. "No problem."
Remembering something else, Doctor Qiu added, "But if an issue comes up, you can switch shifts with someone, as long as it doesn’t interfere with work."
Once the instructions were complete, patients began to arrive, and everyone dispersed to their duties.
It was Yunyi’s first day at work, and there wasn’t much to do. After following Doctor Qiu to visit the few patients staying in the wards, she returned to the office.
Chen Xiaojuan was quite the chatterbox. As soon as she finished her tasks, she came over to chat with Yunyi. "Doctor Chu, you have no idea, but I felt so sad when Doctor Ji left."
Not understanding, Yunyi asked, "Didn’t she move back to the city? Why would you feel sad about that?"
Seeing Yunyi’s confusion, Chen Xiaojuan’s gossiping spirit couldn’t resist. "Let me tell you, Team Leader Song from the security department had been introduced to Doctor Ji, and they were almost at the point of meeting the parents. But then Team Leader Song went back to his hometown, and when he returned, news spread that he was getting married—and the bride wasn’t Doctor Ji."
Yunyi looked up at Chen Xiaojuan. "So, someone else snatched him up?"
Chen Xiaojuan glanced towards the door. "Exactly. At first, everyone thought Team Leader Song’s wife had tricked him, but it turned out it really wasn’t like that; it was just an accident. However, after Team Leader Song’s wife joined the Agricultural Reclamation Group, the gossips around here never stopped bringing up Doctor Ji in front of her. Over time, it really got to her, and she often made trouble for Doctor Ji. Maybe Doctor Ji truly hadn’t gotten over Team Leader Song; she never dated anyone else afterwards, nor did she leave."
Yunyi sighed internally. This must be the workings of fate; fated to meet but not destined to be together.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting from outside, "Doctor, come quickly and save someone!"
Yunyi and Doctor Qiu both ran out of the office, only to see several women with a few bloodied teenagers in tow, yelling for help.
Doctor Qiu asked, "How were they injured?"
