"Hehe..." Lin Mengran smiled sheepishly, "I’m just curious, do you have a baby in your belly now?"
Chuxia gave her a white-eyed look, "No."
At that moment, Yang Xiaoli finally caught on and squeezed up close to Chuxia, squeezing her eyes slyly and asking, "I forgot you have real experience, was what I said correct? "
"Won’t you know once you get married?" Chuxia pursed her lips at the two, "It seems like you guys are so eager to get married, right?"
Lin Mengran shook her head like a rattle drum, "Not at all!" Yang Xiaoli also quickly waved her hands in denial, "No no, absolutely not, I don’t want to get married yet."
"Then why keep bringing up this topic and not letting it go?" Chuxia stared at them in disbelief, "If you weren’t thinking about it, why keep asking endlessly?"
Lin Mengran pouted, "Everyone has curiosity, and besides, you married Great Regimental Commander Zhou, how can we not be curious?" After speaking, she realized her words might be misunderstood and quickly explained, "I’m not curious about your wedding night with Commander Zhou, I’m curious if you did like others on their wedding night. Commander Zhou looks so serious, I can’t imagine he would..." She made a groping gesture, her face reddening to her ears, causing even Yang Xiaoli to blush and cough lightly, changing the topic, "Lin Chuxia, when are you going back to work at the hospital?"
"I’ll return tomorrow."
"Will you stay at the hospital or move back to the Zhou family home afterward?"
"I’ll see how it goes, it’s not settled yet." Chuxia glanced at Yang Xiaoli’s expression and asked, "Are there many people in the hospital talking behind my back?"
"Hmm, there are a few idle gossipers who like to compare, you needn’t bother with them. But you really need to hurry back to the hospital. The anatomy classes during this period are very important. If not practiced well, it will directly affect your future development."
Lin Mengran’s expression had returned to normal, and she chimed in, "Yeah, you need to hurry back. Among us, you and Wu Jingbo were the best, and now, those people are getting cocky. If you also fall behind, then Wu Jingbo will be the only one left who can compete with them."
"From now on, I won’t be missing classes for long periods. I had a couple of family issues during this time, but those are solved now, so I can focus on my studies." Chuxia smiled gratefully at the two, "Anyway, thanks for the heads up."
"Why the formality between friends? Besides, we’re all members of the women’s medical team. We must stick together and not let others laugh at us." Yang Xiaoli spoke with a slight frown, "By the way, Medical University A is about to start enrolling. All of us can apply, the exam is set for the fifth next month, and acceptance letters will be sent after the New Year. I’m hesitating, do you two want to apply?"
"When did this happen?" Chuxia asked. When she had left, she hadn’t heard this news, and Jing Zhe had not mentioned it to her. Medical University A is one of the most renowned medical institutions in the country, famous for producing several famed doctors in later years.
"My grandfather has a friend at Medical University A who gave me the heads-up early. Our hospital will probably receive the notification in a day or two. I’m just giving you a heads-up so you can consider it well, and if you decide to apply, we can prepare and review together. It’d be really embarrassing to apply and not get accepted, right?"
Chuxia was about to readily agree, but then she remembered that she was married and couldn’t make decisions on her own without consulting anyone. Besides, she had originally planned to focus on practical learning for a few years before applying to a medical college. Now, it was only because it was Medical University A that she was tempted, but she still wanted to discuss it with her elders. She believed that whether it was her parents or Old Master Wan or her in-laws, none would steer her wrong.
Being relatively unfamiliar with many aspects of this era, listening to others was beneficial, and since Mikang was not around, she felt obligated to spend more time with the elders.
Suddenly, Chuxia realized how dutiful and filial she was, silently giving herself a thumbs up...
Hearing that Chuxia wanted to discuss it with her family before deciding, Lin Mengran rolled her eyes dismissively at her, "It’s a good opportunity, what’s there to discuss? I’ve decided to apply. It’s too boring just staying at the hospital all the time."
