The next day.
As always, the two busied themselves with their own tasks.
Those who needed to wash up did so, and those who needed to get food from the canteen did that.
After finishing their als, they left the house one after the other.
...
Monday morning at the hospital was incredibly crowded; the hallways near the lobby were jamd.
Especially waiting for the elevator—it was exhaustingly slow.
The first trip, full.
The second trip, full.
The third trip, still full.
But with over a dozen floors, you couldn’t really take the stairs all the way up, could you?
So, all you could do was continue to wait.
After four full elevators had passed, Lu Jing finally squeezed into the fifth one.
He was just about to be late.
It was really...
No one had control over situations like that.
If you’re going to be late, then be late!
However, once he actually arrived at his departnt, no one really cared about that.
On Mondays, there were big rounds, and everyone had to go together!
By the ti these rounds were finished, it was nearly ten o’clock in the mid-morning.
Everyone finally got a mont to breathe and could sit down for a drink of water.
"Huh, Doctor Lu got a haircut?"
Lu Jing paused while drinking his water:
"It was a bit long before, too much hassle."
Fortunately, it was just a casual comnt.
Otherwise, it would have been like bringing up exactly what should not be ntioned.
After finishing the water, he took out a hair tie from the drawer, scraped his hair back with his fingers, and tied it into a little tuft.
After that, it was non-stop busyness with a stream of patients coming in to be seen.
For mild cases, a prescription was sufficient.
For the slightly more serious cases, hospitalization for conservative treatnt was in order.
And for the severe cases, surgery was unavoidable.
Busy until a break at 12:05 pm, he was five minutes over the end of his shift.
Indeed, the day would never end early, only later.
He pulled open the drawer and took out his phone.
There were already three missed calls from Bai Luo, and just as he was about to return the call, the fourth one ca through.
He hurriedly answered:
"Hello, sister-in-law?"
"Hey girl, haven’t you finished work?"
"Just wrapped up, I’m heading out now. Have you all arrived?"
"We’re already in the private room, just waiting for you, but don’t rush—take your ti and be safe."
"Okay!"
The place Jiang Ye had booked was indeed Yujin Building, or else, it would be the W hotel.
Lu Jing didn’t want to be seen coming and going from a hotel in the daylight; it was too easy for people to get the wrong idea.
Yujin Building was good, a famous Sichuan restaurant in Nanxi City, and it was considered high-end.
Still, one couldn’t help but wonder if soone owned shares in Yujin Building?
Otherwise, how could they always get a reservation whenever they wanted?
Ordinary people, if they were even slightly late to reserve, couldn’t manage to get a spot.
Really need to ask about this when there’s ti.
...
Yujin Building.
Lu Jing took a taxi over, even though it was only a ten-minute walk, but since it was already noon and his sister-in-law and little nephew were waiting, it was better to save ti by taking a cab.
"Aunt! Aunt!"
The little guy must have been waiting at the entrance for a long ti; he began to frantically wave his chubby hands when he saw Lu Jing.
Bai Luo was chatting with so people nearby—probably from the entertainnt industry—they looked quite familiar.
Seeing her son run off, she left her colleagues behind and chased after him:
"Yizhou, don’t run so fast, be careful not to fall!"
As soon as she said that, there was a ’thud’—indeed, he had tumbled to the ground.
Hmm, he fell squarely in a sprawled position.
Luckily, he didn’t knock out his teeth; otherwise, he would surely have chipped his front teeth.
Lu Jing was closer, so he was the first to approach.
Bai Luo also arrived and was about to pull him up.
"Sister-in-law, wait a second."
???
Lu Jing explained:
"Let check him first, in case he’s really hurt, we shouldn’t move him carelessly."
