Perspective Medical Genius Young Master

Chapter 885: Chapter 887 Doubt

The only thing he could do now was quickly find an effective treatment plan to control the further spread of the virus, and that would already be good enough. But right now, he couldn’t even manage that.

Xiao Yifei returned home, having bought groceries, but now didn’t have the mood to cook, so he decided to wait for Tang Rong to come back and just order takeaway.

Xiao Yifei put down his things and went into his room, took out the medical book left by his grandfather, and started to read it. Last time, he found the cure from his grandfather’s book; he hoped he could do the same this time. But he nearly tore the book to shreds without finding any clues.

He closed his eyes and lay down on the bed, thinking of his grandfather again. If only his grandfather were here, he would surely find a way. Xiao Yifei always thought of his grandfather at times like these, the grandfather who took care of him for half his life. He never even had the chance to properly show his gratitude to him.

Because there was a big disagreement between him and his grandfather regarding his career, the grandfather who once strongly supported his medical studies refused to pass on his exclusive medical skills after he graduated, and Xiao Yifei had a falling out with him over this issue.

He knew his grandfather was getting old and couldn’t handle the stress, but his youthful pride was too strong. Even though he missed his grandfather, he rarely visited him. So this regret stayed in his heart.

When Tang Rong returned home, she saw Xiao Yifei’s shoes but didn’t see him. She went to his bedroom and found Xiao Yifei asleep on the bed, still in his clothes, without a blanket. He must have been too tired lately.

Tang Rong quietly walked in, covered him with a blanket, then closed the door and left. noveldrama

She saw the groceries in the kitchen and originally wanted to cook herself, but she was too tired, so she called the restaurant downstairs and ordered some dishes and soup.

When the food arrived, Xiao Yifei was still asleep. Tang Rong hesitated whether to wake him up. She felt Xiao Yifei had been through a lot lately and didn’t want to disturb his good sleep. After a moment of thought, she decided to put the food in the microwave and poured herself half a bowl of soup to tide herself over.

When Xiao Yifei woke up, he thought it was already the next day. Seeing it was almost ten o’clock on his phone, he was worried he would be late for work and hurriedly left the bedroom, only to notice that the living room lights were still on. Upon a closer look at his phone, he realized it was only ten at night.

Xiao Yifei thought he had planned to merely take a nap, but he ended up sleeping until now!

He went to Tang Rong’s room and found her playing on her phone. Seeing him, she quickly said, "Ah, you’re finally awake. I was about to starve. I’ve already ordered the takeaway; just waiting for you to wake up and eat. I didn’t expect you to sleep so deeply."

"You haven’t eaten either? Then come eat, why didn’t you eat first, no need to wait for me." Xiao Yifei felt very apologetic for having her wait so long.

"I wasn’t very hungry, I ate a little something before. And it’s no fun eating alone, meals are meant to be enjoyed with two people!" said Tang Rong.

Xiao Yifei felt much more refreshed after a nap, and his mood improved. It seemed sleeping and eating really could lift the spirits.

"Why have you been so busy lately? Isn’t the stuff at the hospital over yet?" Tang Rong asked with concern, not wanting to pry too much into work matters.

"Don’t even mention it, it’s probably incurable this time. The whole city hospital is under immense pressure, and my pressure is especially high." Xiao Yifei complained to Tang Rong.

"I can’t do anything to help here but silently feel for you." Tang Rong said.

"Your concern is enough. It warms my heart. Rongrong, promise me, you’ll always stay by my side." Xiao Yifei said, holding Tang Rong’s hand.

"What happened, how come you suddenly get so sentimental, of course I’ll always be by your side!" Tang Rong was not used to Xiao Yifei’s sudden sentimentality.

Tang Rong remembered Xiao Yifei had said similar things before and felt something was not right.

"What’s wrong, did something happen at the hospital?" Tang Rong asked.

"Nothing happened, I’m just looking for some daily comfort from you, which is very normal!" Xiao Yifei thought about it, and decided not to tell Tang Rong about the potential situation. She wouldn’t be able to help, and it would only add to her worry, plus it wasn’t even certain if that would happen!

Xiao Yifei tried to think positively about things, even though the current situation was very disadvantageous for both him and the entire hospital.

Since it was already evening, Xiao Yifei didn’t eat much, as eating too much could lead to indigestion.

"By the way, you can’t skip lunch; you seem to forget to eat when you’re busy, don’t you? You’re a doctor, how can you not take care of yourself? From now on, buy lunch every day and take a photo to show me, so I can make sure you’re eating well."

"You can’t end up curing your patients only to ruin your own health; that would be too much of a loss." Tang Rong kept nagging.

"Whatever you say, Rongrong, is right. From now on, I will definitely eat regularly every day and complete the tasks assigned by my leaders." For the first time, Xiao Yifei felt that having someone care about him was a happy thing.

The last thing Tang Rong said reminded Xiao Yifei of his grandfather.

In this world, all kinds of people exist, like Zheng Peng—a doctor without conscience, and like his grandfather—a doctor who devoted his life to his patients.

And what about me, what kind of doctor am I? In the past, Xiao Yifei always used words like dedicated and conscientious to describe himself, but this time he was in doubt.

The situation grew more and more serious, and although everyone tried hard to keep it from spreading further, in this digital age, nothing was secret; once something spread on Weibo, within an hour, it could be known citywide.

So now, everyone knew about it, and Xiao Yifei had been so busy he hadn’t even gone home for four days, having not seen Tang Rong during that time. Tang Rong originally wanted to visit him at the hospital, but he refused. The hospital was already a disease-prone environment, and amid these special circumstances, Xiao Yifei dared not let Tang Rong come.

Although Tang Rong had previously urged Xiao Yifei to eat well, the life of a doctor was such that, when busy, they hardly had time to rest or even use the restroom. Tang Rong could only feel for him but couldn’t help in any significant way.

At this point, Tang Rong suddenly wished she was a doctor too, so they could look out for each other at work, and perhaps she could help with the diseases. But then she thought, if the two of them had a child in the future, what would they do since both were so busy that there wouldn’t be time to take care of the child? Tang Rong thought it over and decided against it. Having one doctor in the family was already worrisome enough.
