âHey?â Xiao Yunyun was curious. âDr. Song, how do you know that I intend to speak now?â
Song Jiqing pointed to Xiao Yunyunâs face and said, âI didnât know that at first, but after you came out, I could tell your intent from your face.â
Xiao Yunyun touched her face in confusion and tilted her head. âThen can you tell what Iâm going to say to you?â
Song Jiqing held back his laughter and helplessly pressed his temple. âYunyun, you are making things difficult for me. I donât know how to read minds!â
Xiao Yunyun was amused by Song Jiqing and burst into laughter. She approached him step by step and said, âSince you donât know that, Iâll tell you.â
Song Jiqing glanced at Shen Yuechuan out of the corner of his eye.
Maybe it was because he had already instructed Song Jiqing that he now appeared very calm. He looked as if he didnât know anything, and there was no expression on his face.
Song Jiqing was relieved. He gave Xiao Yunyun a look and said, âWell, go on.â
âDr. Song, you are very handsome today, and you look even more handsome than before!â Xiao Yunyun first praised Song Jiqing and then made a request. âWhen Yuechuan undergoes the surgery, I want to be there with him. You are so handsome. Could you agree to my request?â
âWell⦠Iâll answer your first question first.â Song Jiqing fiddled with his hair. âIâm indeed very handsome, and everyone is aware of this. Thereâs no need to emphasize this and it canât be denied.â
Xiao Yunyun was speechless.
Song Jiqing was not the kind of person who would be arrogant after getting some praise.
He had always been so narcissistic.
Xiao Yunyun could only keep telling herself that she had to talk Song Jiqing into her plan, so she should let him be narcissistic for a while.
âEven if I canât help it, I have to endure it for the sake of my plan!â
Song Jiqing was used to being criticized by Xiao Yunyun all the time. But now, she didnât speak, which made him very satisfied.
He nodded with a smile and continued, âNow, letâs talk about the second question.â
Finally, he got to the point.
Xiao Yunyun smiled brightly in an instant. âOkay.â she said in an expectant tone, âTell me, Iâm listening.â
Song Jiqing knew what Xiao Yunyun was looking forward to.
However, it was a pity that he couldnât agree to her request.
He instantly became solemn and his voice became particularly serious. âYunyun, I canât agree to that.â
When she made the request, Xiao Yunyun still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
She was also a doctor, so she was well aware of the rules of the hospital. Of course, she knew how excessive her request was.
âHowever, Song Jiqing and I are friends.
âBesides, I have connections with the executives of this hospital.
âIt shouldnât be hard to get this thing done, right?
âIf it doesnât work, I can bring up my cousin and cousin-in-law. That will make it work, wonât it?â
Xiao Yunyun had been highly optimistic before, but Song Jiqing shattered her optimism with a few words and turned her down.
âDamn, can you not be so heartless?!â
Xiao Yunyun was so furious that she almost jumped up. She looked at Song Jiqing angrily and asked, âWhy canât you agree to that?â
Looking at Xiao Yunyunâs posture, Song Jiqing kept having a feeling that if he didnât explain himself clearly, she would haunt him for the rest of his life.
In this case, he might as well make things clear.
Song Jiqing said with some embarrassment, âLet me put it bluntly â you overestimated your willpower.â
Xiao Yunyun was far less confident than Luo Xiaoxi. After hearing Song Jiqingâs words, she was stunned for a moment and began to doubt herself. She asked uncertainly, âReally?â
Song Jiqing pulled Xiao Yunyun to sit down and said, âCalm down. Iâll analyze it for you.â
âWell, okay.â
Xiao Yunyun sat down obediently and looked at Song Jiqing like a good student.
âThis is just the beginning. I still have a chance to talk Jiqing into my plan, so Iâll be quiet for the time being.
âIf he still refuses to agree, it wonât be too late for me to pounce at him and beat him up by then!â
Song Jiqing didnât know what Xiao Yunyun was thinking at all. He put his hands together and analyzed earnestly, âYunyun, I know that you are a medical student. I also know that you are used to the various scenes of surgery. But youâve left one thing outâ¦â
Xiao Yunyun tried her best to pretend to be ignorant. âWhat is it? Since Iâve left it out, then tell me what it is!â
Song Jiqing continued, âIn general operations, doctors are only responsible for the patients and have no feelings for them. This is the best-case scenario because doctors can maintain the greatest calm when conducting the operation and ensure success to the greatest extent. Do you understand?â
âIâm well aware of those truths. You donât need to tell me that.â Xiao Yunyun emphasized with a serious face, âBesides, I wonât participate in your operation. When I accompany him, it wonât affect you.â
âHave you forgotten that youâre a doctor? You can see the operation process, and whatâs worse is that you can completely understand it.â Song Jiqing sighed. âYunyun, anything can happen during the operation. If the situation changes and you canât control your emotions, it will affect us, and it will directly affect the result of the operation. Do you understand what I mean?â
Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and looked at Song Jiqing in a daze. âYou said that I overestimated my self-control. Does it that you are afraid that Iâll lose control during the operation?â
âThatâs right.â Song Jiqing nodded bluntly. âYunyun, itâs not that we donât believe in you. We just know the patientsâ family members too well. No matter what your occupation is, as a patientâs family member, you are no different from the ordinary ones. You will also have an extreme reaction.â
Xiao Yunyun was stunned and didnât speak.
She didnât know whether she was speechless or she didnât know what to say.
Seeing that what he said had worked, Song Jiqing continued, âYunyun, when we operate on Yuechuan, we hope that we can focus just on him. Your observation will distract us. Do you get that?â
Xiao Yunyun was silent for a long time. She still wanted to say something to fight for her intent, but from the perspective of a doctor, she found that Song Jiqing was right.
In the end, she awkwardly nodded her head and said, âGot it.â
Song Jiqing knew that Yunyun was not the kind of girl who would make trouble for no reason.
He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, âSince you got it, do you know what to do?â
Xiao Yunyun didnât speak but just nodded hard.
She knew what to do.
She shouldnât have been so naive.
Before that, she just thought that she was also a doctor and was not afraid of the scene of surgery. She thought that she could absolutely accompany Yuechuan through the whole operation.
She didnât consider any of the questions Song Jiqing mentioned.
The thing was that she couldnât deny that he was very considerate and every word he said made sense.
His words got to her.
It was indeed that the older, the wiser.
Song Jiqing looked at Xiao Yunyun and clearly saw her eyes gradually darken.
He knew that she was very disappointed and also knew why she would be that way.
But he just couldnât help her this time.
Song Jiqing sighed and gently patted Xiao Yunyunâs head as if he were pampering a pet. He said apologetically, âIâm sorry, little girl. We must take Yuechuan as our priority in the operation today. We canât be too considerate about your feelings.â
Xiao Yunyun nodded, and her voice was a little choked with sobs. âI know that.â
âIâm glad that you know that.â Song Jiqing rubbed his hands together and continued, âFor the sake of your sadness, Iâll make it up to you. You can make a few requests, and as long as theyâre something I can realize, I will agree to them.â
Xiao Yunyun raised her eyes and looked at Song Jiqing seriously for the first time. âDr. Song, today⦠I only have one request for you.â
Song Jiqing could almost guess what Xiao Yunyun was about to say.
Nevertheless, he would give her a chance and let her speak.
Song Jiqing nodded and imitated Xiao Yunyunâs tone just now as he said, âTell me, Iâm listening.â
Xiao Yunyun moved closer to Song Jiqing and said in an expectant tone, âAfter Yuechuan enters the operating room, Iâll hand him over to you. Can you promise me that you will return him safe and sound to me after the operation?â
Song Jiqing smiled. He gave Xiao Yunyun a positive and comforting look. âYou donât have to make this request. We will do our best to make that happen.â
At this time, no matter how successful Yuechuanâs operation would be, Song Jiqing would promise Xiao Yunyun that he would return Yuechuan safe and sound to her.
She also knew that Song Jiqingâs promise was mostly to comfort her.
Despite all of that, her eyes reddened slightly, and then they began to grow redder and redder.
Xiao Yunyun tried hard to hold back her tears and forced a smile to face Song Jiqing. âOkay. I believe in you.â
Song Jiqing looked at Xiao Yunyunâs cautious look. Thinking of her usual carefree look, he inexplicably felt his heart soften.
In this world, there was a kind of person that whenever they were sad, everyone in the world would want to comfort them.
There was no doubt that Xiao Yunyun was one of these people.
Song Jiqing gently patted her shoulder and said, âLittle girl, donât cry. Youâll just need to believe in us.â
Xiao Yunyun choked up and nodded hard as if she was going to tell Song Jiqing in this way that she really trusted him.
At this time, she had to believe that Song Jiqing and Henry would definitely do their best to cure Yuechuan.
âAlright now. I still have a lot of things to do before the operation.â Song Jiqing stroked Xiao Yunyunâs hair. âIâm going to work first. You should have a good talk with Yuechuan.â
After a pause, Song Jiqing was afraid that Xiao Yunyun would think of something terrible because of what he said. He continued, âHis body may be very weak after the operation. You may not get to chat for quite a long time. I think thatâll be quite sad. You should stay with him while he can talk to you now.â
Xiao Yunyun was amused and nodded. âI will do that.â
