top student at medical school

Fang Ziye was lucky enough that he didn't have many regrets in his life.

Huang Kai was the "big brother" Fang Ziye met while working in the countryside in Enshi to gain experience, while Mi Qi was the "big brother" Fang Ziye met while he was a resident physician!
When Huang Kai was injured, Fang Ziye was just a young boy, powerless and even ignorant of everything.

Therefore, Huang Kai underwent functional reconstruction surgery as a compensatory measure after Fang Ziye developed the procedure.

Huang Kai is recovering well. He has boldly left Enshi Central Hospital and now has his own place to work, where he can perform surgeries.

Associate Professor Mi Qi, along with Lan Tianluo and others, developed a "motor-sensory anesthesia separation" technique during the operation, which allows Mi Qi to "interact" with the surgeon during the operation. He is currently recovering well!

Although they have not been able to return to their peak level, they have all found their own direction.

The tragedy that has already happened cannot be reversed; it is not a regret if we can make amends in some way.

These two older brothers were 'friends' and 'patients' of special significance in Fang Ziye's life!
The fact that Li Yuanpei and the others could think of presenting the 'gift' to Fang Ziye in this way made Fang Ziye feel extremely warm.

Furthermore, Luo Tingzhu was also "involved" in Mi Qi's anesthesia.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu stared silently at the large screen for nearly three minutes before it slowly went dark.

Below the booth, many people were whispering, clearly discussing the "existence" of these two individuals...

Huang Kai and Mi Qi are both very, very ordinary people. Their resumes are so ordinary that people who are not friends with them would not know what has happened to them.

Even if it's a tragedy.

Even if you know that such a thing exists, you don't know who the protagonist is.

People are more focused on the event itself than on the people involved.

"Yuanpei, thank you for the special gift you prepared. Tingzhu and I are very grateful."

Fang Ziye paused slightly before saying, "You must be very touched. Actually, I didn't do much for these people; I just did my best under the circumstances."

"Looking back now, I can do better if I encounter the same situation again, so I should thank them for accompanying me in my growth and for providing valuable experience for future patients."

"I've met many helpful people along the way..."

"The relatives, friends, teachers, seniors, and classmates who are here today are all benefactors in my life. You are definitely the first people I want to tell when something good happens."

“You must be the kind of people who would want to confide in someone when you encounter something bad.”

"Thank you all again for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my and Tingzhu's wedding. I'm afraid we haven't been able to provide adequate hospitality and would feel very abrupt."

Li Yuanpei continued, "The wedding ceremony has now come to a complete end. According to traditional customs, I can now formally announce..."

"Mr. Fang Ziye and Ms. Luo Tingzhu are officially married in the presence of relatives, friends, and both sets of parents, and are now legally married."

"As your classmate, I wish you a long and happy life together, many children, and happiness for the rest of your lives."

"Now, Professor Fang, it's your turn to shine! Get ready to toast us, we can't wait to drink your wedding wine!" Li Yuanpei quickly pulled away from the emotional part.

If the groom isn't drunk at his wedding, then every one of his friends is guilty!
In Chinese weddings, there is a custom of toasting, and after toasting, guests are expected to continue receiving toasts from their friends at the friends' table!
The special treatment I received today was different from the "Singles' Night" I had the night before.

……

Fang Ziye accompanied Luo Tingzhu to change into her toasting attire, and then they went around to each table to offer toasts.

The first stop for the two was not the table where the academicians were, but the table where Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong were sitting.

“Master, today is a big day for Tingzhu and me. We really want to thank you. You gave us the opportunity to meet, and you can be considered half a matchmaker…” Fang Ziye said.

Deng Yong was in a great mood and stood up: "An opportunity is an opportunity, and a marriage is a marriage. You two are free to choose your own partners. I'm not going to play matchmaker."

"However, it is quite meaningful that my two students can get married. I wish you both mutual support and a long and happy life together."

"Live your life well." Deng Yong's words were sincere, without any lengthy rambling.

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, teacher," Luo Tingzhu said as well.

Then, the two walked to where Yuan Weihong was.

This time, Fang Ziye took a deep breath, put down his wine glass, bowed deeply to Yuan Weihong, and then said, "Master, today I am getting married."

Fang Ziye's feelings for Yuan Weihong were different from his feelings for Deng Yong. This was destined from the moment he entered Zhongnan Hospital, and it was also destined from Yuan Weihong's special treatment of Fang Ziye.

Yuan Weihong wasn't actually that old, but he was quite emotional at the moment. He nodded and said, "It's good to be married. The wedding night is a great success. This life's test is now complete."

Yuan Weihong didn't say much; he understood the meaning behind Fang Ziye's special bow.

Everything was left unsaid.

That article was a secret shared only between him and Fang Ziye; no third person would know it, and not even a fifth ear would hear it.

Neither of them would ever mention it again in their lives, even if it would no longer affect Fang Ziye in the slightest.

……

After a round of toasts, Fang Ziye became a little confused!

The main reason is that Fang Ziye has met too many important people and has to sincerely toast them a few times. So after going around the circle, even if each person only takes a small sip and drinks a little bit, it still amounts to more than a pound.

Seeing that Fang Ziye was already drunk without being forced to drink, Li Yuanpei and the others didn't really intend to force him to drink until he was completely stuffed. They just symbolically told Fang Ziye to sit down and eat something.

Fang Ziye was already on an empty stomach, and drinking so much alcohol could cause him to have a stomach hemorrhage, which would be terrible.

……

Afternoon, three o'clock.

The wedding venue was now empty, with only Fang Ziye, Luo Tingzhu, Fang Nan and his wife, Luo Pan, Ruan Qiutao, and Lan Tianluo remaining.

Liang Xia, a little nervous, spoke in her very broken Mandarin, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Xiao Lan, are you tired? Why don't you go and rest for a bit?"

Fang Ziye wasn't completely out of consciousness yet, and knowing that Luo Pan and Ruan Qiutao had a lot to say, he said, "Dad, Mom, you go downstairs to settle the bill first, we'll come down in a bit..."

"Let's go back and chat together later."

Fang Nan also noticed that something was wrong, so he said, "Let's go, let's go pay the bill."

Fang Nan didn't know the specifics, but it seemed that he had two in-laws and their mothers-in-law, and the two sides didn't seem to be hostile to each other, which was quite intriguing.

After Fang Nan and the other person left, Ruan Qiutao looked at Luo Tingzhu and said, "Tingzhu, you've finally grown up and started a family. Mom is really happy."

Lan Tianlu helped Fang Ziye to the side.

Luo Tingzhu was not a good drinker, and even though she only had one beer at the end, she was still a little tipsy.

Slightly drunk, Luo Tingzhu couldn't hold back her emotions and choked out, "Mom... Dad..."

"The reason your parents did this is simply to help you grow up."

“Back then, people kept contacting me, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I was afraid they would hurt you, then hurt him, and then hurt him again,” Ruan Qiutao said in a very veiled way.

Luo Tingzhu actually understood some things, but not the specific details.

However, what makes one's parents make the decisive decision to divorce must be no small matter.

Although Luo Tingzhu often wondered why no one could protect her, some things couldn't be explained by so many questions.

If you run into someone like that, it's just bad luck!
If planes can crash, what about other situations?

This kind of thing can't be investigated too closely, and it's hard to assign responsibility. So who should we question?

At least for now, all four members of the family are still alive and well, which means someone must have contributed, or even sacrificed themselves as a result.

This kind of thing is unlikely to be exposed.

Unexpected things can happen all the time, even bizarre incidents like the Laiyang incident...

"Mom, stop talking. I was too young to understand before."

"I have many misunderstandings about you," Luo Tingzhu said softly, "but I'm all grown up now, and I'm fine."

Luo Pan walked with slightly unsteady steps to Ruan Qiutao, standing about a meter away from her.

His eyes lingered on Ruan Qiutao's body, and his gesture of reaching out to touch her froze.

All my words can be summed up in one sentence: "I'm doing fine now, and you have to take care of yourself too. I'm so sorry! My mom felt I had wronged you until she died."

Ruan Qiutao said, "I have already dedicated myself to the country, how can I dedicate myself to my family?"

"It's a pity that our era required sacrifices from some people, otherwise we wouldn't have so many regrets."

“Actually, things are pretty good now. I’m better off than you; I have three children, all of them quite sensible and very outstanding,” Ruan Qiutao said proactively. Luo Pan nodded: “When are you going back?”

"I'm going back tomorrow morning; I still have work to do there." Ruan Qiutao also has her own home.

If she saw Lan Tianluo's family again, all her thoughts would be focused on that other family.

Her current husband is also very good; he has given her a complete family.

The initial choice was her own. Since she admired Luo Pan's character and talent, she had to accept that Luo Pan was too outstanding and she couldn't stay with him forever.

“I’ve already retired, and I’ll stay here for a while longer,” Luo Pan said.

"That's good. You need to spend more time with them. You don't actually spend much time with them. Less than me."

"Then I'll be going. Liu Xia and Gao Bo are still waiting for me outside. We'll go to Ting Zhu's house for a chat later." Ruan Qiutao said goodbye to Luo Pan.

After this farewell, the next farewell will likely mean never seeing each other again in this lifetime.

Ruan Qiutao cannot let down her current family.

Luo Pan couldn't betray his current wife either; this was their ending—not good, but not bad either.

It's a pity.

After seeing Ruan Qiutao off, Lan Tianluo took the initiative to help Luo Pan, and then left the wedding venue with Fang Ziye, Luo Tingzhu and others.

Even the most lavish and lively wedding eventually returns to calm.

Everyone inside will enter their own lives, play their respective roles, and become ordinary people before attending the wedding.

It was this opportunity that brought everyone together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere...

In the car, Luo Tingzhu asked, "Dad, do you know what happened?"

"Can't I say a little bit now?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Pan's eyes reddened slightly: "I don't know... I don't know the details either."

Luo Tingzhu's stepmother, Aunt Min Limin, also shook her head: "I estimate that apart from Ms. Ruan Qiutao, very few people would know the specific details of this matter."

"Your father and I later inquired about it. At that time, the surveillance equipment and other facilities were not very comprehensive. All we knew was that Ms. Ruan Qiutao and Lan Tianluo stayed for a long time before they came from Yu City to Henan Province."

"After handing Lan Tianluo over to your father, she left alone."

Min Limin thought for a moment and then continued, "According to other comrades, Ms. Ruan Qiutao revealed a little bit of information that she shouldn't have in order to get to Henan Province safely, which is how she managed to escape."

"Not long after, your maternal grandfather and maternal uncle passed away one after the other."

Lan Tianluo slammed his foot on the accelerator.

Fang Ziye sat in the passenger seat, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Ruan Qiutao is just an ordinary person, but Luo Tingzhu's grandparents are not ordinary people. If something were to happen to Luo Tingzhu's grandmother, they would definitely investigate to the end.

Therefore, they dared not act rashly.

However, Ruan Qiutao's parents were just ordinary people, and even if an accident happened, they wouldn't make a big fuss about it, thinking it was just an accident.

Luo Pan didn't speak, and Luo Tingzhu didn't ask any further questions.

This matter has come to an end!

Luo Tingzhu and Fang Ziye might not understand, and even Min Limin, who has no biological children, might not understand, but Luo Pan truly knows the 'reason' at this moment!
Ruan Qiutao made a choice; she chose her child.

Therefore, she could no longer stay with Luo Pan; otherwise, she would be betraying the blood flowing in her veins.

This is a choice that must be made.

Ruan Qiutao had no choice...

That evening, when I saw Aunt Ruan Qiutao again, she was all smiles, quick-witted and resourceful, handling herself with ease whether talking to Liang Xia or Min Limin.

She smiled and introduced her daughter, Liu Gaobo, to Fang Ziye and the others.

Liu Gaobo is a kind and honest person who doesn't talk much.

Liu Xia didn't understand much about anything; she just felt that she had two older brothers and sisters from different fathers and mothers, and now she also had a 'brother-in-law by marriage'!
Aside from that, she just ate and listened.

Fang Ziye sobered up a bit and personally brewed two more pots of tea for Ruan Qiutao with Luo Tingzhu, then served them to her.

Ruan Qiutao said, "Xiao Fang, you should brew more tea. How can two cups be enough?"

"Everyone must be thirsty after chatting for so long..."

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu listened to the advice.

At 11 p.m., Ruan Qiutao, Liu Gaobo and the other two said goodbye and went to the hotel. They would take the high-speed train back to Shashi early the next morning.

Fang Ziye offered, "Mom, Uncle Liu, Tingzhu and I will take you there tomorrow."

“Okay…you two should get some rest too. You must be quite tired from preparing for the wedding these past few days.” Ruan Qiutao nodded in agreement, then took Liu Gaobo’s arm and led Liu Xia into the elevator.

Today, Lan Tianluo took her back to the hotel again, and Lan Tianluo did not drink alcohol.

Love is beautiful, and enjoying love is like basking in a spring breeze. However, not all beautiful love stories have happy endings. On the contrary, to enjoy some of these spring breezes, one must pay a price.

Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos.

The next day, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu had just dropped Ruan Qiutao off at Luo Tingzhu's house when Fang Ziye's phone rang.

From Liao Jiayuan, the new campus director: "Professor Fang, congratulations on your marriage! When can you return to work, Professor Fang?"

"Professor Fang, you have no idea how many calls I've received since you took your two-week vacation. My phone has been ringing off the hook, and my door has been practically broken down."

Fang Ziye had barely sat down, not even having had a sip of water, when he said, "Dean Liao, I just got married yesterday, and I was on annual leave at the time."

Liao Jiayuan's tone was particularly helpless: "I know, Professor Fang."

"But you've taken a bit too much annual leave, and you can't take this long for your wedding leave either. People are definitely going to talk about it."

"Of course, our unit hopes that Professor Fang can get some rest, but the patient is not having it..."

As Luo Tingzhu listened to the content on the loudspeaker, she became somewhat aggressive, waving her little fists as if she wanted to hit someone.

Fang Ziye, who just had his wedding yesterday, is already being urged to go to work today.

Neither of them planned to go on vacation; they just wanted to stroll around the vicinity of Han City and do some research on the side. They weren't on full vacation, yet they were still being urged to...

Fang Ziye also understood Liao Jiayuan's helplessness.

The current marriage leave and annual leave systems are both documented in official documents.

Liao Jiayuan wasn't urging Fang Ziye to go back to work immediately. Now, Fang Ziye is the director of the orthopedics department at the new hospital, and being confined to his post, he can no longer be as free as before.

"Dean Liao, alright then, at least let me finish this week. I'll be at work the Monday after next, April 21st."

“Our company's annual leave policy is half a month, and marriage leave is three days. Excluding weekends and holidays, I still have a week of annual leave left. I can't slack off on that,” Fang Ziye said.

Annual leave does not include weekends; it is a regular 15 days. Marriage leave should be three working days.

"Okay, Professor Fang, it's fine as long as you agree."

"I've given you an explanation, so it's fine if you come a few days later next week."

“But if you don’t come for a month, the pressure on me is really too much. You have to give me an outlet.”

"After all, Professor Fang, you are irreplaceable."

"As for annual leave, why is it only seven days? There are ten working days!" said Dean Liao Jiayuan.

"Thank you, Dean Liao. I'll take the day off next time." Fang Ziye sighed softly.

Earning three extra days of annual leave is a benefit I've earned for myself.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye looked at Luo Tingzhu and waved his hand: "Sigh, Tingzhu, we can only go shopping nearby. We can't even take a short vacation of a week."

Luo Tingzhu said, "It was expected, Senior Brother. Who told you to be so outstanding?"

"The phrase 'irreplaceable' truly reflects the extremely high level of demand."

The call had barely ended when it rang again.

The call came from Liao Jia. As soon as the connection was established, Liao Jia roared, "Ziye, come quickly! The gift may be late, but it's here! Your guess was right!" (End of Chapter)
