Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 538 - Chapter 538 Brother and Major

Chapter 538: Brother and Major Chapter 538: Brother and Major Cao Yong, walking towards her, extended his hand and pulled her aside. She had been so engrossed in watching the rain that she had stepped a bit outside, where the drifting rain was about to drip onto her.

“What were you just thinking about?” Cao Yong asked gently, curious what could have made her so entranced by the rain.

She recalled the time at home when she was brought up by her grandfather. His single-story house was even older than hers, leaking whenever it rained, with the steady drip of water necessitating the placement of various sized bowls and pots on the floor to catch the rain. Thankfully, in the past few years, her grandfather’s house had been involved in the renovation of old buildings, and the area had transformed into a housing complex. Yet, the memories of her childhood remained etched in her mind.

“Senior, are memories connected to emotions?” Xie Wanying thought of Aunt Wang from bed 23 and her misidentification, and when everyone met Aunt Wang’s grandson, the answer finally surfaced.

“Do you want an explanation from psychology or neurosurgery?” Cao Yong asked.

Senior’s counter-question was indeed professional. Xie Wanying, thinking about her understanding from studying medicine in two lives, said, “Psychology always seemed somewhat mystical and profound to me. If one must dissect it based on the anatomy of modern medicine, then certainly neurosurgery would be a bit easier to understand, wouldn’t it?”

“Have you become interested in neurosurgery?”

Ah, the junior sister is interested in their field of neurosurgery? Huang Zhilei stood behind, maintaining a light bulb’s distance, while he held his breath and listened.

“Of course I’m interested,” Xie Wanying replied without much thought. Neurosurgery, known as the pinnacle of surgery, naturally piques the curiosity of any surgical medical student. It was said that her class’s top student, Yue Wentong, was determined to become a neurosurgeon.

Hearing her response should have pleased him, but Cao Yong didn’t feel relieved because he could tell from her tone that something was amiss. Sure, she’s interested, she said casually and seemingly naturally. If she really liked it, she would talk as if she were carefully treading on eggshells, as if afraid to damage the treasure of her heart.

“It seems you have some interest, but you can’t say you’re fond of it,” Cao Yong said.

Listening to the warmth and objectivity in Senior’s voice, Xie Wanying knew that he, once again, had insightfully discerned the depths of her thoughts.

Her eyes sneaked a glance at the senior next to her. Senior Cao wore a dark blue shirt with silver stripes that evening, as fashionable and handsome as ever. It reminded her that her first impression upon seeing him was always how handsome he was.

Perhaps it was because of his too-handsome appearance that it overshadowed certain things, often causing people to momentarily overlook the fact that Senior Cao was a very formidable neurosurgery expert. Neurosurgery was already a specialty that fascinated medical students, both prestigious and enigmatic, and Senior Cao perfectly matched this characteristic of the field. At this thought, Xie Wanying remembered the umbrella of his that she had left in her dormitory and said, “If I had known, I would have brought out Senior’s umbrella.”

Had she finally remembered his umbrella? Cao Yong smiled, took the umbrella that Huang Zhilei passed to him, opened it, and held it above both their heads, saying, “Let’s go, let’s go have dinner first.”

The three of them hurried to the eatery across the street.

Once inside, past the peak dinner hour, the restaurant wasn’t crowded. The early arrivals waved and called out, “Over here!”

As Xie Wanying walked over, she realized that in addition to herself and the two seniors, there were two senior sisters and the ever-social Senior Zhu present, but her counselor was nowhere to be seen.
