Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 495 - 397: Since Ancient Times, Fairies Have Matched

"Are there still groceries in the fridge?"

Seeing Xu Hongdou’s casual deanor, Zhao Heng said with so helplessness.

Lately, he hasn’t really liked eating out because he’s basically eaten everything he wanted to already. Especially at the hospital, he frequently orders takeout, and during night shifts, he definitely orders all kinds of random late-night snacks.

So he prefers to eat at ho, so homade dishes, which are healthy and not too salty. The dishes outside taste fine, but afterward, he has to drink a lot of water to quench his thirst.

"I think so, my sister just ordered so groceries from Seahorse Fresh yesterday and had quite a few things delivered."

Xu Hongdou thought for a while and said.

"Then you can be my assistant, let’s not eat out today."

Zhao Heng rolled up his sleeves, ready to start cooking in the kitchen.

"Brother-in-law, you can cook?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Zhao Heng as if she had discovered a new continent.

Young, handso, talented, good-natured, and can cook - did Xu Man Ni save the galaxy in her previous life?

No, she definitely saved the entire universe!

"Never heard the saying, ’A poor child manages the household early’?"

Zhao Heng said casually.

Next, with Xu Hongdou assisting, Zhao Heng quickly finished cooking.

"Brother-in-law, this is such a lavish spread! It’s just the two of us, can we finish all this?"

Sitting at the dining table and looking at the spread of dishes, Xu Hongdou said with so surprise.

This table of dishes was colorful and flavorful, with four dishes: tomato-braised ribs, Kung Pao chicken, oyster sauce lettuce, and broccoli with shrimp. The soup was a loofah and clam soup, and the cold dish was a simple smashed cucumber.

Although it looked quite simple, it was more than enough for two people, with both at and vegetables, ensuring nutrition and health.

And they were all dishes that went well with rice, perfect with fragrant white rice.

"Each dish is about the amount you’d get from the cafeteria lady at school, how can we not finish it?"

Zhao Heng looked at Xu Hongdou and said casually.

"Wow, your cafeteria lady really gave generous scoops.."

Xu Hongdou comnted jokingly.

"I’m so bored, my sister has to work this afternoon."

As she ate, Xu Hongdou said, feeling a bit listless.

"Brother-in-law, do you have work this afternoon?"

Looking at Zhao Heng, Xu Hongdou suddenly asked.

"I’m off this afternoon."

Zhao Heng replied.

"Off? That’s great, why don’t you accompany for a walk? I’ve been so bored lately.."

Xu Hongdou looked at Zhao Heng with longing, pleading.

Both Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni usually have to work, and Xu Hongdou is in the middle of recuperating, unable to do much, so recently she’s been so bored at ho she’s practically growing cobwebs.

"I have sothing to do this afternoon."

Zhao Heng looked at the listless Xu Hongdou and said.

"What’s up?"

Xu Hongdou asked sowhat unwillingly.

"I need to go to Yanjing University this afternoon."

Zhao Heng said.

"Huh? Why are you going to Yanjing University?"

Xu Hongdou asked with so confusion.

She graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which is next to Yanjing University. Xu Hongdou often wandered around Yanjing University during her school days, so she was very familiar with it.

"I’m doing a master’s and doctoral program there, going for classes."

Zhao Heng said nonchalantly.

"A master’s and doctoral program at Yanjing University? That’s impressive!"

Xu Hongdou widened her eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

Now Xu Hongdou rembered that even though Zhao Heng is already the vice director of the Anesthesia Center at Eastern Hospital, his highest degree seed to be a bachelor’s?

Being able to beco vice director at the Eastern Hospital with just a bachelor’s degree, without anyone having any objections, seed even more impressive!

"Since I’m free anyway, why not tag along with you for a stroll? My Central Academy is just next to Yan University, and I’m very familiar with it."

After a pause, Xu Hongdou marketed herself.

"Suit yourself."

Zhao Heng responded noncommittally; although Xu Hongdou was indeed beautiful, he thought that most people only saw her as glamorous and stylish like a fairy from the outside, but her appearance at ho was another story.

Not that Xu Hongdou wasn’t pretty without makeup at ho; in fact, good-looking people often look better without makeup. It’s just that her untidy appearance at ho was a bit of a disillusionnt with the fairy image.

"Then it’s settled."

Xu Hongdou said happily, that she could go for a stroll in the afternoon, especially to the familiar Yan University, and also visit her alma mater. How aningful is that? This way, it won’t be boring at all, right?

"Do the dishes."

Soon, Zhao Heng finished eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said to Xu Hongdou.

So what if she’s a fairy, if she can’t cook, at least she can wash the dishes, right?!

"Alright."

Perhaps because she could go for a stroll in the afternoon and wouldn’t be bored anymore, Xu Hongdou, who usually didn’t like washing dishes, agreed without hesitation this ti.

Before long, Xu Hongdou finished washing the dishes, tidied up the kitchen for a change, changed into a new outfit, and put on so light makeup.

Looking at Xu Hongdou, who was obviously well-dressed, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

"Doesn’t it look good?"

Seeing Zhao Heng inspecting her, Xu Hongdou couldn’t help but ask.

"It looks pretty good, a bit like your sister."

Zhao Heng thought for a mont and said.

"Like my sister? What kind of evaluation is that, does looking like my sister an it’s good?"

Hearing that response, Xu Hongdou seed not very satisfied.

"Am I prettier, or is my sister prettier?"

Xu Hongdou asked Zhao Heng with a bit of anticipation.

"Your sister."

Zhao Heng replied without even thinking.

"What the heck!"

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Xu Hongdou was sowhat dissatisfied imdiately, but amidst her dissatisfaction, she also felt reassured.

"No wonder my sister is so at ease with you. Sotis you’re really not good at making girls happy. At tis like this, you should say that I’m prettier."

Xu Hongdou said, pursing her lips.

"Are you ready? If you are, then let’s go."

Zhao Heng didn’t respond to Xu Hongdou’s words, he just said very plainly.

It’s best not to respond to those kinds of words.

He knew that when Xu Hongdou said these, it was just a subconscious expression.

Beautiful won, after all, don’t want others to overlook their charm.

"Alright, why are you rushing?"

Xu Hongdou said.

Soon, the two of them left the house, and Xu Hongdou appeared very joyful as soon as she stepped out the door.

"Weren’t you raised in North City? You should have a lot of classmates and friends, right? If you’re bored, why not just casually call a couple of them to accompany you for a stroll?"

Seeing Xu Hongdou eagerly going out for a stroll, Zhao Heng asked sowhat puzzled.

"Nowadays, who has the ti to accompany you shopping? Everyone is busy with their own things, it’s tough in every industry these days."

Xu Hongdou said slowly.

If a person reaches a certain age and suddenly finds that the classmates and friends around them are all busy, rarely in contact, then it’s an indication that everyone is busy working for a living, striving for life’s necessities.

"I thought you were soone detached from worldly concerns."

Hearing Xu Hongdou say this, Zhao Heng felt like he was seeing another side of her. Her laid-back deanor was just a façade; her inner world was much richer and more substantial than it appeared.

"I really wanted to be a fairy who is detached from the mundane world, but nowadays, the term ’little fairy’ has beco a derogatory term."

Xu Hongdou said with a bright smile.

This smile was truly like a hundred flowers blooming.

The Xu family’s genes, how can they be this good, both the elder sister and younger sister are beauties.

In the age of the internet, there’s a puzzling trend: using up and overusing what originally was a beautiful term. The term "little fairy" is the most typical example.

"When a fairy descends to the mortal world, she should match with a cowherd, but where are the cowherds now?"

Zhao Heng said offhandedly.

Actually, the original version of the Seven Fairy Maidens cos from the Feathered Robe Lady in "In Search of the Supernatural". The story is quite different from both the current TV versions and the popular folk tales.

The gist of it is that once upon a ti, a farr saw seven maidens bathing in a pond, with their clothes drying by the pond’s edge, and the farr sneakily took one.

The other maidens finished bathing and put on their clothes, leaving. But one maiden couldn’t find her clothes and stayed behind, ending up marrying the farr. Over three years, they had three children. One day the maiden found the stolen clothes, put them on, and without hesitation, flew away.

The farr, seeing his fairy wife leave, was heartbroken and cried to the heavens. The fairy wife seed to hear the farr’s cry and really ca back.

The farr was moved to tears.

"A hundred days of grace for one day of marriage, the fairy wife still loves !"

Then...then the fairy ca back to take the three kids and flew away again!

The original text is as follows: [In Nanyu County of Yuzhang, a man saw in the field six or seven maidens, all dressed in feathered robes, not knowing they were birds. He sneaked over and took a feathered robe from one of the maidens and hid it. When he approached the birds, all the birds flew away, except for one who couldn’t. He married her, and they had three daughters. Later, the mother made the daughter ask the father and found out the robe was under stored grain. She got it, dressed, and flew away. Later, she returned for the three daughters, and they also flew away]

"It’s best if the cowherd you’re talking about is a serious one."

Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
