A bus was parked neatly at the exit of the hospital's parking lot.
Although it was a low-key black and red color, its tall body and the expansion box that stretched out of its body were still eye-catching. When they got closer, they could see the logo of Mercedes-Benz and the English words "Airsun", which attracted a few passers-by to take pictures.
Ling Ran drove his small Volkswagen Jetta out of the parking lot and saw an old man in a black Chinese tunic suit waving in front of him.
Ling Ran gently stepped on the brake and rolled down the window.
"Mister Ling Ran …" The old man in the Chinese tunic suit walked over and greeted him. When he was about to speak again, he heard someone calling him from behind. "Doctor Ling …"
Then, he saw Tian Qi running over quickly.
Tian Qi was wearing a khaki trench coat, and when she ran, the coat fluttered in the wind.
Ling Ran pulled the handbrake.
"Are you okay?" Tian Qi ran to the front of the car and suddenly slowed down. She was a little nervous.
"What do you mean?" Ling Ran thought for a few seconds and asked Tian Qi.
Tian Qi immediately laughed. "It's good that you're okay. By the way, did the surgery go well? "
"It went well." Ling Ran nodded.
He had performed a few surgeries today, and he did not encounter any strange things or strange anatomical structures. Although it was his first time performing an infection surgery, he was lucky that there were no mistakes. No matter how he looked at it, it was considered successful.
"That's great." Tian Qi smiled and said, "I just came back to Yun Hua. Are you hungry? How about we eat together?"
Ling Ran did not want to go home immediately. He thought for a while and nodded. "Okay. Where are we going? "
"Do you want to go to the Shao family's restaurant?" Tian Qi chose a restaurant that Ling Ran often went to.
Ling Ran hesitated and said, "Not today. My current condition is not suitable for surgery or emergency treatment."
Tian Qi blinked. She more or less did not understand the situation.
However, Tian Qi did not feel that she needed to understand the situation.
"Do you want to take my car?" Tian Qi pointed at the bus behind her and said, "You can put your car under the bus."
As she spoke, Tian Qi took out her phone and gave a few instructions. The side panel between the bus's tires was opened, and a thick steel plate fell on the ground. The area was enough to park a small car.
The small Volkswagen Jetta gently stopped on the thick board. Ling Ran got out of the car and watched as his small Volkswagen Jetta was slowly pulled under the bus.
"How advanced," Ling Ran praised. He liked compact and textured products, just like the small forceps used in arthroscopy.
"Let's get in the car." Tian Qi observed Ling Ran's expression. When she saw that he was not unhappy, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Inside the black-and-red bus, the interior decoration was pure white. The spacious space and the dense furnishings were a bit like a high-class hotel room. The interior was luxurious and functional, but not much space was reserved for strange things.
The bus started moving slowly. Tian Qi adjusted the lighting in the bus and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
In the blink of an eye, Tian Qi suddenly had an idea, and she said, "Why don't we eat in the car?"
Ling Ran nodded nonchalantly.
Tian Qi stood up excitedly. She walked around the car twice, pressed a button, and said, "Let's look for a place with good scenery. Let's go to Yanling Mountain."
"Okay." The bus driver drove in front, and there was a partition in the middle.
Tian Qi then took out pots and pans from the cupboard. She also took out some fruits from the fridge. Then, she took out a bag of frozen dumplings from the freezer drawer.
"How about eating dumplings? Pork and celery fillings. "Tian Qi was ready to show off her top-notch dumpling cooking skills.
"Sure. Do you have any seasonings?" Ling Ran sat on the left side of the sofa with ease. He touched the soft and comfortable leather and curiously observed the furnishings in the room, as well as Tian Qi's clumsy movements.
Tian Qi nodded. "There's vinegar, chili, garlic, and soy sauce. Is that enough?"
"I just need vinegar and chili."
"No problem."
Tian Qi was immediately filled with confidence.
The bus slowly came to a stop at the mountainside of Yanling Mountain.
This place was close to Yun Hua City, and there was an endless stream of cars and tourists during the day. At night, when the liveliness was gone, the mountain was quiet.
The bus came to a stop, and the three expansion compartments on the bus were slowly pushed out to the sides and the rear, greatly increasing the space in the bus. The narrow width of the bus, which was limited by road safety, was greatly reduced.
The dumplings that Tian Qi added three times were cooked.
She opened the top window of the bus and lowered the light in the bus, allowing some starlight to enter.
Ling Ran took the initiative to stand up and put the seasonings and plates on the table. Then, he saw Tian Qi scoop the dumplings with a colander. The dumplings that had just been cooked were full, and they gave people a heavy feeling.
"Try it." Tian Qi looked at Ling Ran a little nervously. Although Aunt Liu was the one who made the dumplings, she cooked them.
Compared to the previous feeding, the feeding this time was obviously more meaningful.
Ling Ran did not hold back. He picked up a piece of dumpling, dipped it in a little vinegar and chili, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
The thin dumpling skin broke when he bit into it, and thick soup gushed out.
Ling Ran sucked in a breath. It was a little hot, but also a little refreshing.
Tian Qi laughed. "You can take two bites."
"If I can't eat a dumpling in one bite, the soup in the dumplings will be wasted." Ling Ran's answer was very clear.
Tian Qi was stunned and asked, "Why? The soup is still there."
"If you eat two bites of a dumpling, you have to make the dumpling stand up. In this way, the first bite of the dumpling will be the first half of the dumpling without soup. Because the soup will be stored in the other half, but when you take the second bite, the soup will be too thick. "Ling Ran talked about his experience and picked up another dumpling.
Tian Qi was stunned when she heard that. Then, she quickly picked up a dumpling, covered it with her hand, and put it into her mouth.
Ling Ran quietly picked up the third dumpling. This time, he carefully observed the appearance of the dumpling before he put it in his mouth.
He was a little hungry.
He was tired enough after performing surgeries for a day. The last surgery for AIDS combined with knee arthroscopy also consumed a lot of Ling Ran's physical strength … and spirit.
Ling Ran picked up the glass and drank it in one go.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Tian Qi poured another glass of lemonade for Ling Ran.
"Some patients can't be cured." Ling Ran spun the cup of water and took a sip.
"So … you feel a little depressed?" Tian Qi asked Ling Ran tentatively.
Ling Ran sighed again and did not say anything.
All along, the surgeries he performed were traumatic. Whether it was the M-Tang technique, finger replantation, Achilles tendon rupture, or meniscoplasty, they were all surgeries that could make the patient return to normal if he performed them well.
In comparison, AIDS was not so simple. Although the development of modern medical technology had advanced to the point that AIDS patients could survive for a long time, the immune deficiency caused by HIV itself was always a bomb.
Surgeons could do nothing about this bomb.
On the other hand, Xu Yongchang's actions today inevitably made Ling Ran vigilant, and he had to think about a serious question. Why?
And if he continued to think about such a question, he would not get a pleasant answer.
"When I was young, I always wanted a deer, like Bambi. But my father said that deer were too dangerous. Later, he gave me a pony, and I named it Bambi. It was an Arabian horse. It was actually very big, white, and beautiful, but I always called it a pony … "Tian Qi tried to comfort Ling Ran by telling a story.
She looked at Ling Ran and said seriously, "When I was sixteen, Bambi the pony had an accident, and my father helped me bury it in the mountain stream of our family's ranch. I was very sad and depressed. One day, I ran out to play by myself. As I played, I went near the mountain stream, and I saw a deer in front of Bambi the pony's grave. At that moment, I felt very relaxed. "
Ling Ran could not help but look at Tian Qi.
"What I want to say is that life always goes on in different ways. Don't put too much responsibility on yourself … Even the best veterinarian and zoologist can't save a pony … Just like what my father said, there's a limit to a person's strength …" As Tian Qi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Ling Ran looked at her and thought of the strange but not bad feeling when Department Director Huo patted his head today. Ling Ran stretched out his hand stiffly and patted Tian Qi's head gently.
"It's okay. Didn't you find a deer?"
His slender fingers patted her head gently, and his gentle breath … The sudden intimacy made Tian Qi a little overwhelmed. She felt her heart skip a few beats.
