Chapter 810 - 1 for Alliance Hierarch Zilei)
After hanging up the phone, Ma Yuehui felt elated!
He was quick to shift his thoughts.
Chen Cang was a member of his spearhead team.
He was the leader of the spearhead team.
Chen Cang's surgery = spearhead team's surgery = credited to Leader Ma's... guidance!
Exactly, exactly!
At least that's what everyone thinks, what I think doesn't matter... A leader has to act like a leader, cough cough!
A leader can't be too petty. Let little Chen do whatever surgery he needs to do. Now Ma Yuehui had figured it out, Chen Cang is a specialist in cardiology after all, even able to handle surgeries with the heart still beating. What's the big deal with an aortic surgery?
Piece of cake.
In the afternoon, Chen Cang returned smoothly from surgery and upon seeing Ma Yuehui, he hastily offered an awkward smile:
"Leader Ma, sorry about that, a patient with an aortic rupture came in at noon. I had to perform emergency surgery, so I couldn't inform you in advance... I went ahead with it, then made the call!"
Ma Yuehui couldn't help but mimic the demeanor of a leader, and, in an encouraging manner, patted Chen Cang's arm and smiled, "No worries, I trust you. Go for it, be bold, but you must always be aware. If there's anything you don't understand or don't know, make sure to ask for advice."
Chen Cang was stunned for a moment. He had expected Leader Ma to be angry, but this response took him by surprise...
"Leader Ma... if you are angry, just say it. Don't bottle it up; I'll change in the future!" Chen Cang, faced with the staunch expression of the simple-minded Leader Ma, found himself somewhat unused to it.
Ma Yuehui was momentarily taken aback and almost laughed out of annoyance.
Meanwhile, Xu Aiqing and the others couldn't help but be the first to laugh.
After spending this time together, everyone had become relatively familiar with one another.
...
...
In the afternoon, Chen Cang made a point of visiting the little boy he had operated on the day before. After a day's observation, all the specific indicators had stabilized.
Relieved by the stable indicators, Chen Cang sighed in relief.
The surgery was very successful, but enlargement of the left ventricle and atrium was certainly unavoidable.
These were compensatory changes. Perhaps with the body's self-regulation mechanisms, there was hope for gradual recovery...
But surgery was definitely not necessary.
Upon Chen Cang's visit, Qin Fang and his wife were genuinely grateful.
The little boy also smiled at Chen Cang, awkwardly uttered in Mandarin, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
Chen Cang couldn't help but smile.
"Rest well, but you can't do any vigorous activity or exercise for a while..." Chen Cang gave the boy some postoperative care instructions. "Your mom and dad care about you so much, love you so much, so don't have any wayward thoughts, okay? You're a little man, and when you grow up, you need to protect your mom, so don't make her sad, alright?"
Chen Cang couldn't resist talking to the little boy a little longer.
The boy was initially too shy to respond, his face flushed, but gradually he began to smile as well.
Despite the success of the surgery, for a family already struggling financially, it was an additional burden.
Chen Cang did what he could to help but recognized there were some things beyond his assistance.
A person's power is ultimately limited, and there were far too many in need of help.
As he was leaving, the little boy's father hurriedly chased after him, insisting on giving Chen Cang an envelope in a secluded spot.
Chen Cang quickly refused, smiling and saying, "Your child will need money for other things, you keep this!"
The man took a deep breath, seeing Chen Cang's persistent refusal he finally gave up. He spoke earnestly, "Doctor Chen, you're a good person, a savior to our family! We'll remember this kindness for a lifetime, we'll surely repay you."
...
...
After work in the afternoon, Chen Cang hurried home to pack up; of course, the primary reason for going home was to get his ID card, household registration book, and other essential documents!
Once everything was in order, he hurriedly headed to the train station.
It felt like a long time since he had seen Qin Xiaotian, having been away for over half a month. Thinking of his cute and mischievous face with a little bit of baby fat that he always wanted to pinch made him feel deeply affectionate.
The high-speed train from the capital to Anyang took only about three or four hours. Sitting on the train, Chen Cang closed his eyes, and scenes from the past three or four years played back in his mind.
Like a film, each scene appeared and then faded away...
And in every single one, there was Qin Yue.
At that moment, Chen Cang realized that he had been silently noticing and fond of her all along.
However, back then, Chen Cang didn't have the courage to pursue her.
He thought about the time in the on-call room when Qin Yue had cornered him against the wall and almost kissed him forcefully.
Chen Cang swore to himself that he really was moved at the time; he really wanted to kiss her!
But no matter how many times he was moved, Chen Cang would control some of his thoughts.
He didn't know when a song began to play in his ears.
"If I was young and promising, without insecurity,
Knowing what is precious,
Those dreams I never gave you,
I would feel guilty all my life.
If I..."
Chen Cang was suddenly stunned, as a string in his heart was really touched.
Perhaps... it was really like that?
What would I do without the help of cheats?
Would I muster the courage to confess to Qin Yue?
Would I feel inferior facing Qin Yue, because I couldn't give her those dreams?
At this moment, Chen Cang turned around and, before he realized it, saw a boy next to him covering his face and shedding tears.
Chen Cang turned his head away and no longer looked.
The car slowly made its way and arrived at An Yang.
The man next to him stood up to get off, and a wedding invitation dropped to the ground.
Chen Cang hurriedly called out to the man, "You dropped your stuff."
Saying so, he helped pick it up.
The man paused for a moment, then continued walking.
Chen Cang was startled, looked down, and saw a wedding invitation—the words 'a lifetime of bliss' conspicuous on it.
...
...
Exiting the platform, Chen Cang was about to leave the station when suddenly, at that moment, a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am~"
Chen Cang couldn't help but laugh, "Lisa!"
"Nope! It's Lily!"
"Wrong again, oh... it's Rong Rong!"
Qin Yue, furious, wished she could kick Chen Cang's behind, "Scram, scram, scram, go back to where you came from, An Yang doesn't welcome you!"
"To think I waited for you for so long; it's really cold for goodness' sake! Meh..."
Chen Cang turned around to see Qin Yue standing there, clad in a little yellow sweater with a little red cap, her face a rosy red from the cold, glaring at Chen Cang.
Chen Cang burst out laughing, "I'm just teasing you!"
After saying that, he covered her face with his hands and felt a wave of cold.
Chen Cang couldn't help but feel distressed, "Have you been waiting long?"
Qin Yue pouted, "Just go, I won't marry you. I'm going to pick a husband at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow! You just know how to make me angry!"
Watching the silly look on Qin Yue's face, Chen Cang bent down and hoisted her up at once, "Haha, nabbing a bride to take home!"
Qin Yue intended to scream for help, but considering the numerous armed police patrolling around, she held it in, "Stop it, put me down!"
Chen Cang naturally would not agree, "Why would I let go of a bride I've snagged? No way!"
Qin Yue saw countless people turning around to stare, her face blushing more than ever!
Yet somehow, deep inside she felt incredibly joyful, super joyful, insanely joyful.
Someone to be crazy with you, play with you, be happy with you, share the mundane with you, say good morning, good afternoon, good night with you, stick with you through thick and thin until you're old, and tenderly call you 'my partner'!
This must be love!
