I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 554 A Mistake

Jiangda Affiliated Hospital.

A group of fresh-faced youngsters, wearing brand new white coats printed with the logo of Jiangnan University Medical School, looked up with interest at the glass-walled outpatient building that was just a few steps away.

Among them are Xia Qingdai’s former roommates - Xia Shishi, Shi Yan and Cheng Xiao, who have just become interns.

The last two years of the eight-year direct doctoral program were basically spent in the hospital, except for academic doctoral students.

However, academic PhDs stay in school and laboratories during their doctoral studies, and after graduation they have to go to the hospital for at least thirty-three months of regular training, which is not necessarily easy.

A group of professional PhDs like Xia Shishi can find jobs directly after graduation. If they are lucky, they can even be directly evaluated as attending physicians.

But to be honest, doctors who do scientific research and write papers are more likely to be promoted than doctors who simply treat diseases.

Originally, Xia Qingdai should have been among this group of people waiting to be assigned.

Most people don’t know her background when she is an undergraduate, but it becomes very obvious when she is a master or doctoral student. When choosing a teacher in the fifth year, you can intuitively feel the difference between them.

Because her master's sect was powerful, Xia Qingdai had already been taken away long ago, and she didn't have to stand outside the hospital's outpatient department waiting with the rest of the group.

In recent years, during every winter and summer vacation, Xia Qingdai would be brought to the hospital for internship by her master or senior brothers, and the medical staff there basically all knew her.

There are so many people in the hospital, not everyone knows each other.

But naturally everyone would recognize Xia Qingdai, a student who was taken in as a last-minute disciple by Academician Liang, who had long stopped recruiting students, and who was so beautiful that she was unforgettable.

If we talk about the younger generation of the Affiliated Hospital, who else can be as well-known as Xia Qingdai throughout the hospital, it must be Du Zhong, who is said to have found his biological family, took a two-month leave, and traveled across the ocean to meet his relatives.

Du Zhong is a low-key person in everything he does, but sometimes he attracts too much attention and cannot keep a low profile even if he wants to.

Therefore, when he asked for a long vacation, he just mentioned briefly that he was going to visit his relatives overseas, and in no time, the news spread throughout the courtyard.

There are seventeen or eighteen messages about Eucommia ulmoides' life story in the hospital, each of which is full of legends.

Being talked about by people around you is inevitable for handsome guys and potential big shots.

In fact, when Du Zhong first appeared in the affiliated hospital, everyone said that he looked like a mixed-race child, wondering if his ancestors had foreign blood.

It was only later when the administrative lady said that the other party's family background could prove that he was a native Chinese that everyone conceded that he might simply look more mixed-race.

This situation is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Celebrities with strong complexion and three-dimensional facial features all have more or less Western features.

But now it has been proven that Du Zhong does have Western ancestry. Looking at his appearance, everything makes sense.

At this time, Xia Qingdai was still on her way to the affiliated hospital.

Her internship started at 8 a.m., and it wasn't time yet, but she was already very rushed. Luckily, her brother had just given her a Mercedes-Benz smart two days ago. Its small and exquisite body was particularly suitable for the congested streets of Jiangcheng, and it was convenient for parking and transportation.

Xia Qingdai has extensive driving experience in Lilliput, and is no stranger to modern driving on the busy streets.

It has been a year since she got her driver's license, but she didn't even put an intern label on the car window, for fear that some people would see the word "intern" and be more likely to cut off her.

Just as she entered the back door of the hospital and was looking for a parking space to park her car, a golden light flashed in Xia Qingdai's rearview mirror.

Her eyes immediately followed and saw a familiar tall figure passing by her car.

"Owen!"

This word popped up in Xia Qingdai's mind. She stopped the car in a hurry. She didn't even bother to take a look at how it was parked. She pushed the door and got out.

The blond man took big steps and passed by the outpatient building where a bunch of interns were standing without stopping. At this time, the teacher in charge was shouting with a loud speaker, and as a result, a large number of interns' heads were taken away by the blond man.

"Ahem! Everybody pay attention..." The teacher in charge had just called the interns' attention back when the sound of hurried running attracted everyone's attention again.

"It's Xia Qingdai from the Traditional Chinese Medicine class!"

"Oh my god, I'm late for my first day of internship?"

"There's a big boss behind him."

There was a lot of whispering below, and Xia Shishi asked Cheng Xiao beside her quietly: "Is Qingdai also coming to intern with us today?"

"I don't know. Didn't she follow her mentor into the hospital a long time ago?" Cheng Xiao expressed confusion.

As soon as Du Zhong, who had dyed golden hair and excellent hearing, recognized the name, he immediately stopped and looked back.

In the morning light, a woman in a white dress rushed into his eyes like a white light, making him dazzled.

The next second, Xia Qingdai caught up with Du Zhong, grabbed his arm, and asked excitedly: "Owen?"

Du Zhong paused for a moment before he whispered, "Du Zhong."

Xia Qingdai suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked at Du Zhong in disbelief, and opened her mouth slightly: "Du... Du Zhong? You... why did you dye your hair blonde?"

Du Zhong, the blonde, has no difference from Owen except for the color of his eyes. Xia Qingdai can't even tell them apart.

Du Zhong suddenly smiled, like stars blooming: "Is it not possible?"

"It's not impossible." Xia Qingdai withdrew her hand and scratched her head awkwardly, "Uh, sorry, Senior Brother Du, let's talk again."

After saying that, he ran away again, leaving behind a circle of "wows".

"Quiet! Quiet!" The teacher in charge withdrew his gaze from watching the fun and shouted to the interns, "Now listen to me..."

Du Zhong looked at Xia Qingdai's back as she ran away, a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and the smile in his eyes flowed like water.

"That handsome foreign guy is Senior Brother Du!"

"If you dye your hair blonde, you'll look more like a foreigner."

There were many junior and senior interns who recognized him. If it weren’t for the loudspeaker of the leading teacher, they would have greeted him excitedly.

Such a blunder early in the morning, in front of a large group of classmates, made Xia Qingdai's face flush. Fortunately, the busy daily life that followed dispelled her unnecessary shame.

During the lunch break, Xia Qingdai said something to her senior director and went to the top floor to get some fresh air.

But after finally climbing up the stairs and just as she was about to push open the fire door, Xia Qingdai suddenly stopped.

Du Zhong, who had taken a leave, came back to work. The top floor was also his favorite place to go. That was why there was a misunderstanding. It was too awkward to meet him.

Xia Qingdai then withdrew her hand and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

A tall figure blocked the door, with the light behind him, and spoke in a low and pleasant voice: "Why are you leaving now that you're here?"

"Haha." Xia Qingdai turned around, scratched her head and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, what a coincidence, Senior Brother Du, you are here too. I won't disturb you then."
