Chapter 2 Su Xiheng!
Xiangya Hospital Library.
The library is very small; to be precise, it should be called a reading room rather than a library.
The shelves are filled with commonly used textbooks for clinical medicine and specialized textbooks.
Diagnostics: Edited by Wan Xuehong and Lu Xuefeng. People's Medical Publishing House, 8th Edition.
Pharmacology: Edited by Yang Baofeng. People's Medical Publishing House, 7th Edition.
Medical Immunology: Edited by Jin Boquan. People's Medical Publishing House, 5th Edition.
……
These are all old versions, identical to the version Chen Zhuoan remembered from 10 years ago.
At 2:13 PM, a girl quietly stood beside Chen Zhuoan.
She deliberately snatched a copy of "Advanced Textbook of Orthopedics" from Chen Zhuoan, edited by Qiu Guixing and published by People's Military Medical Publishing House!
Chen Zhuoan turned his head to look.
Su Xiheng was about half a head shorter than Chen Zhuoan.
At 1.75 meters tall, she is already considered tall for a girl.
Su Xiheng wore a white and green striped three-quarter sleeve dress and had her hair tied up in a ponytail.
There were no traces of makeup on her face, only a light eyebrow line.
His eyes darted like tadpoles, and his nose stood out high.
Su Xiheng's skin wasn't particularly fair; it was a healthy, rosy red.
Having grown accustomed to Su Xiheng's scent, Chen Zhuoan could no longer smell her body odor; he only knew that Su Xiheng was still using Libai shower gel.
She deliberately snatched the book Chen Zhuoan was about to take, her voice haughty: "You suddenly called me! You suddenly gave me orders!"
"You suddenly appeared at the library again!"
Su Xiheng immediately softened her tone: "Is the pressure too much?"
Su Xiheng and Chen Zhuoan have known each other for many years.
Chen Zhuoan simply turned her head away, letting Su Xiheng take the textbooks that weren't part of her major and browse through them.
Shaking his head, Chen Zhuoan's voice trembled slightly as he realized he hadn't seen Su Xiheng in so long.
"Didn't you say you were free only tonight?"
He was afraid that all of this was unreal.
The two weren't exactly childhood sweethearts; they met in the same class at the town's primary school in the sixth grade.
We went to junior high school in town, then high school in county, and now we're at Central South University. We're still classmates and alumni!
Su Xiheng is a student in the seven-year clinical medicine program and has currently chosen gastroenterology as her specialty.
Back when they took the college entrance exam, Su Xiheng was only one point behind Chen Zhuoan, but she was rejected by the eight-year program, while Chen Zhuoan was admitted.
Both of them are in their sixth year of school.
A seven-year program leads to a master's degree, while an eight-year program leads to a doctorate.
Su Xiheng rolled her eyes at Chen Zhuoan: "What do you think?"
But immediately, Su Xiheng's tone softened: "You've never been this strange before..."
"What... happened?"
"Has something happened in your department?"
From Su Xiheng's perspective, she would think that Chen Zhuoan's inexplicable behavior could only come from clinical practice.
Chen Zhuoan, on the other hand, was recalling other things.
In her previous life, 11 years later, Su Xiheng stayed at the hospital to pursue her doctorate after graduating.
Because her teacher retired early, Chen Zhuoan changed her supervisor and research direction, resulting in a serious lack of research output that prevented her from staying in the hospital.
I have to go far away to find work.
Su Xiheng graduated in 14, and the two got married in 15.
Aside from minor squabbles, the two of them almost never argued.
"No...it really is, I miss you." Chen Zhuoan shook his head, his voice soft and gentle.
As he spoke, he reached for the textbook in Su Xiheng's hand and placed it on the shelf.
"Come on, let me treat you to dinner."
"I have something to tell you." Chen Zhuoan's tone was somewhat commanding.
After saying that, he took Su Xiheng's hand and walked out of the library.
Su Xiheng thought for a moment, then let Chen Zhuoan lead her: "Isn't today some special time?"
"Come with me." Chen Zhuoan said without explanation.
Su Xiheng let Chen Zhuoan pull her away.
……
Jijihong Hot Pot, a brand that has been around for 10 years, still has a bright red decor.
The pot was bubbling and boiling, and Su Xiheng pulled her hair back with both hands.
She noticed Chen Zhuoan staring at her blankly, and although they were quite familiar with each other, she felt slightly embarrassed.
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chen Zhuoan shook his head, his voice ethereal: "No, it's beautiful, pleasing to the eye, I like it, I want to watch it."
Chen Zhuoan was 34 years old when Su Xiheng passed away.
To some extent, Su Xiheng was heartbroken, exhausted, and overwhelmed with grief when she suddenly passed away unexpectedly.
Her departure was sudden and a great blow to Chen Zhuoan.
The two had a very deep relationship, which Chen Zhuoan only realized after Su Xiheng left.
Parents are our roots, our origin, and our home.
A lover is companionship, destiny, and a confidant.
"Aren't you ashamed..." Su Xiheng pouted shyly again.
Then, Su Xiheng added, "I haven't been feeling well these past few days."
"I didn't think that way," Chen Zhuoan shook his head again, knowing what Su Xiheng meant.
But he didn't mean that.
In his previous life, he suppressed all so-called "animalistic desires" for the next twenty years or so; he never even thought about it that way.
Moreover, because of his special memory, he knew that Su Xiheng was menstruating in the past few days.
"I came to see you to tell you about your decision to start your doctoral program ahead of schedule."
Central South University's seven-year program stopped enrolling students in 05, and Su Xiheng was among the last batch.
The option for seven-year program students to pursue doctoral studies ahead of schedule was first launched in 2006 with the 2000 cohort of seven-year program students.
"I can manage on my own. Your studies are more demanding than mine, so don't worry about me," Su Xiheng said confidently, tying her hair up.
Su Xiheng said the same thing in her previous life, but in the end, she was unable to start her studies ahead of schedule before graduation.
"Stop fooling around, be good."
"Send me your research progress tonight..."
For Su Xiheng, Chen Zhuoan had only been gone for two days.
For Chen Zhuoan, he had been separated from Su Xiheng for more than 20 years.
The longing that lingered day and night couldn't be diminished by Su Xiheng's simple statement that she could manage.
If he hadn't known there wasn't enough time, he would have melted Su Xiheng right there and then...
Even if you can't get along with him, you still have to pamper him.
Both families were of modest means. Su Xiheng's family only asked for a dowry of 100,000 yuan, which was used entirely for the wedding!
Everything after their marriage was provided by the two of them themselves.
Marriage, travel, having a daughter... companionship...
"Okay then..." Su Xiheng thought for a moment, not wanting to refute Chen Zhuoan.
Although it felt confident in its ability, the seven-year early admission program was based on merit, and everyone was in the seven-year program.
It would be even better if someone could help you.
She wouldn't refuse help from her boyfriend, Chen Zhuoan.
Su Xiheng then suggested, "Should we rent a place?"
Chen Zhuoan: "I'll arrange the renting of the house in a while."
"It will make it easier for us to study together."
"Now, all you need to do is send me your research progress."
Su Xiheng finally pouted: "Where did you learn that domineering aura?"
"Have you been watching too many TV dramas?"
Chen Zhuoan himself was stunned for a moment.
Where did you learn that?
It seems like it wasn't learned, but rather something that came naturally to them.
Moreover, it's a habit that's been formed over many years, and it's difficult to change it in a short time.
Chen Zhuoan carefully considered his current situation and realized there were many things he could do.
But the two most crucial points are Su Xiheng's direct entry into the doctoral program and Professor Dong's inability to retire early!
The teacher's matter will definitely require a rather lengthy process, but my wife Su Xiheng's matter of starting her doctoral studies ahead of schedule is a piece of cake and should be dealt with first.
"Is there?" Chen Zhuoan asked.
Su Xiheng nodded seriously: "It's very domineering, okay?"
"I feel like even my teacher isn't as domineering as you."
"Okay, it's not your fault. Let's go get the seasonings..."
If you miss me, just send me a message and I'll come find you.
Su Xiheng stood up and reached out to pull Chen Zhuoan: "You help me make it, the seasoning you make tastes better."
Chen Zhuoan was pulled up by Su Xiheng.
Su Xiheng grabbed behind her with her left hand while shaking her other hand.
Twenty-four-year-old Su Xiheng had always been immersed in the saccharine glow of being deeply in love, and had never suffered any harsh treatment from the outside world.
She is simple and naive.
"I really hope it can always be like this..." Chen Zhuoan pursed his lips, silently making this promise in his heart.
