Chapter 882: Chapter 884: Unintentional to Proceed

"Still no progress. The doctors from other hospitals don’t have any good ideas either. I don’t know what the final outcome of this situation will be." Xiao Yifei was already a bit worried about his future; the title of Divine Doctor might be ruined by this.

But in a way, this could be a good thing. I’d have time to focus on searching for the Biwei Silver Needle. But if I’m no longer a doctor, then even if I find the Biwei Silver Needle, what use will it be? Xiao Yifei thought, If only we had found the Biwei Silver Needle already, maybe the disease in front of us wouldn’t even be an issue.

He thought of his grandpa again. He always thought of his grandpa at times like this. If his grandpa were here, what would he do? Would his grandpa still be the same, risking his own life to treat patients?

But Xiao Yifei couldn’t do it. He used to think he could, but now he hesitated. If he had to use his life to treat every one of these dozens of people, he probably wouldn’t even live to see fifty.

Now that he had met Tang Rong, he started to cherish his life more. He wanted to live well and grow old with Tang Rong, be with her till the very end. This had become his recent wish, to live well and witness a life like those in TV dramas, still traveling together and making breakfast for Tang Rong every morning even into their nineties.

These past few days, Tang Rong hadn’t had a proper conversation with Xiao Yifei. She knew he was busy at the hospital every day. But was he really so busy he couldn’t even make a phone call? The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. All along, she tried to understand and support Xiao Yifei, but even then, he wouldn’t call her, not even once in a day.

Tang Rong felt like a child in kindergarten waiting for her parents to pick her up, staring eagerly at her phone, seeing that she had sent him over a dozen messages without even a punctuation mark in reply.

What does being overwhelmed by emotions feel like?

It’s probably like being drowned in the sea, unable to breathe, hence the hysterical struggle. Because if you don’t struggle, you feel like you might just die. And during such struggles, you’ll do things you’ll regret. But when the emotion fades, you find out you were never actually submerged, your feet could still touch the seabed.

Yet, the things you’ve done and the words you’ve said can never be taken back. You will regret, blame yourself, and resent yourself for it, but it remains useless."

Tang Rong saw this passage on her phone, and she felt it described her current state. Once her mind started to go wild, it just wouldn’t stop, making her suspect if Xiao Yifei still loved her at all.

She wanted to do something, but she was afraid she would regret it later. So she just sat at her desk, unable to concentrate on work.

Finally, it was noon. She took some time off from her supervisor and went to Xiao Yifei’s hospital. She didn’t even know what her visit would accomplish, or what she intended to do; she just felt she needed to see Xiao Yifei.

When she arrived at the hospital, finding Xiao Yifei’s office was easy since she had been there once before. She went in, found that Xiao Yifei wasn’t there, and saw his phone on the desk. As if compelled by some force, she picked it up, unlocked it, and went on WeChat.

Instantly, more than twenty messages popped up. Aside from the dozen she had sent, there were some group messages and whatnot. Silently, she put the phone back down, blushing at her own actions. Deep inside, she had been hoping for something to happen, but luckily, nothing did.

She sat in Xiao Yifei’s chair, imagining what it would be like for him to be a doctor here, wearing a white coat—he must look quite handsome.

While she was envisioning this, Xiao Yifei came in. Seeing Tang Rong in his office, he thought he was so tired that he was hallucinating. "Rongrong, why are you here? No work today? Is something up?"

"What, do I need a reason to come see you? Did you know it’s been several days since we had a proper conversation?"

"Of course, I know, but I’m really just too busy. The same illness has relapsed, and we haven’t found an effective treatment yet. So for now, I have to trouble you to bear with it. Once this busy period is over, I’ll take you out for some fun, okay?" Xiao Yifei consoled her.

"For now, don’t stay in the hospital any longer, to avoid catching any germs."

"What, I just got here, and you’re already trying to kick me out?" Tang Rong replied.

Actually, before coming, she had no idea what would happen next. But after going through Xiao Yifei’s phone, she felt completely at ease about him. If Xiao Yifei said he was busy, then he was truly busy, so much so that he didn’t even have time to glance at his phone.

"How would I dare to kick you out? I haven’t even eaten yet. Since I have an hour’s break now, why don’t you join me for lunch?" Xiao Yifei suggested.

"You haven’t eaten yet? You poor thing," Tang Rong said as she gently touched Xiao Yifei’s head, like treating her little brother. noveldrama

With that, the two of them walked out of the hospital together.

Xiao Yifei didn’t tell Tang Rong the specific things happening at the hospital recently. He just indirectly asked, "If I end up without a job someday, and just stay home cooking and doing laundry waiting for you to come back, would you support me?"

"Of course not. Besides, how could someone as capable as you not have a job? I’ve always envied the greatness in you!" Tang Rong said. She didn’t understand why Xiao Yifei suddenly brought up this issue. Actually, if it really came to that, she’d definitely support Xiao Yifei.

"I was just kidding, just testing how deep your love for me really is. Judging by this question today, it seems you don’t love me that much. Are you just waiting for me to fall so you can dump me?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"Absolutely not. If you do fall, you can be a handyman at our house, washing clothes and stuff every day, basically a housekeeper," Tang Rong replied.

"That works too, as long as I can stay by your side." Xiao Yifei was quite pleased with Tang Rong’s answer.

"What do you want to eat? Since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll treat you," Tang Rong said, looking all cheerful.

"The thing I want to eat the most is you," Xiao Yifei said with a mischievous grin.

"You used to be such a serious person. How did you turn so cheeky now?" Tang Rong said, giving Xiao Yifei a playful slap.

"That’s because I wasn’t with you before. I used to be a very serious person, but ever since we’ve been together, just look at how much I’ve changed. Isn’t there a saying about becoming like those you associate with? That’s my situation. I used to be quite decent, but being with you, I’ve darkened," Xiao Yifei parried with clever words.

"I never would’ve guessed, Dr. Xiao, that you’re so good with words. You’re even indirectly scolding me now," Tang Rong said, "Then I won’t have lunch with you today. You can eat on your own."

Saying that, Tang Rong turned to go across the road.

"Hey, Rongrong, how could I dare scold you? It’s actually me who was always dark," Xiao Yifei said as he grabbed Tang Rong, pulling her into an embrace from behind.
