Chapter 4, Correction
He suspected that it was intentional and replied in a low voice, "I don't seem to be in such a hurry now..."
The thought almost made her laugh out loud, this is her lively and humorous father... praising her as if money would fall from the sky...
Tangled thoughts pulled at the corners of her clothing as she turned and turned. After a moment, she finally made up her mind and nodded heavily: "Alright... then it will be Wednesday morning..."
Her silence prompted him to ask again: "Are you on your period today?"
Xu Runqing's fingers, still resting on the keyboard, continued to strike the letter keys. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to glance at her and said, "Not yet"
She thought carefully and felt that what was said seemed quite reasonable. However, she still felt a bit hesitant, holding her phone without saying a word
This strange atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds, finally broken by Ouyang's light cough. Ouyang gently cleared his throat and innocently glanced at Dr. Xu, who was looking over. He did not mean to do it; it was just that his throat suddenly felt itchy
That small area of scratched car paint was already repaired on the same day
Due to outstanding academic performance, Nianxiang was fortunate to be assigned to the Department of Stomatology at B University Affiliated Hospital for an internship
As she moved, Ouyang let out a sigh and readjusted the clips on either side of her face, saying, "Please don't move..."
Xu Runqing lightly curled the corners of her lips, but quickly concealed this smile. She turned to check her schedule: "Avoiding problems is not a wise choice. Are you free on Wednesday? I will be here on Wednesday morning, taking impressions before the tooth extraction, and I also need to take photos and sign the agreement..."
He lowered his head, and those pitch-black eyes, shielded from the light, appeared even more profound. His gaze swept across her face and landed on her open mouth, as he turned to take a disposable mouth mirror from the tray.
Unable to see clearly from the side, he leaned over. As he bent down, there was a distinct scent of disinfectant typical of hospitals, faint yet mixed with another natural subtle fragrance of his own, which was unexpectedly pleasant.
So, am I supposed to pick up the model today? I want to get started as soon as possible
I do not know if it is a mere illusion of longing, but I always feel that when he asked this question, there seemed to be a hint of a smile. There was a fleeting softness in his eyes, but when she focused again, his eyes only reflected the shallow light, faintly glowing
Being selected is undoubtedly good news for her aspirations. Firstly, it represents affirmation. Secondly, it allows her to directly enter the hospital without the need to worry about finding an internship placement.
Nianxiang nodded slightly at the small plastic plate on the instrument, indicating that he understood.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why is it him calling me..."
The thought continues to remain silent
Did she confirm the correction, or should she go back and think it over again
Suppressing the impulse to hang up the phone, I patiently asked once more: "So which company is it..."
As soon as she fell silent, Comrade Nian realized that she was somewhat wavering, and quickly expressed his thoughts: "I believe it would be quite good for our family to consider a private hospital; the schedule would be a bit more flexible, and the environment would be more relaxed..."
It is confirmed. He switched the page and reopened the video of his thoughts to take a look: "Come over the day after tomorrow to have the mold taken and the tooth extracted"
He paused for a moment, turned to look at her, and said: "Moreover, you need to have your tooth extracted in two sessions"
Xu Runqing had just saved the archived thoughts, and with a light click of the mouse, he saved the file. In such a quiet environment, even the sound of the mouse click was particularly clear. He released his hand, slid the chair back a few steps, and stood up: "You go down with Ouyang first to take the panoramic and side shots."
Thinking quickly: "Dad, which hospital? ... I'm on my way!"
He twisted a hand around Lan Xiaojun's waist, making her cry out in pain before finally letting go. He then turned to face her seriously and said: "It was a call from the counselor, informing me that I have been selected."
Tsk... tooth extraction...
"Is this Xu Runqing's phone?" she speculated
The only one present who remained rational, Ouyang, silently turned his head, unable to bear looking directly at Dr. Xu's nonchalant expression. He had mentioned that the car, which was still not repaired, had been lent to him this morning to make a trip to the next street to buy breakfast.
In other words, she has become one of the very few among the majority, and...! ... she no longer has to find an internship on her own!
Although it is just a routine inquiry, I still feel a bit shy
Just the thought of it makes my teeth feel cold and sour
The phrase "念想有些忧桑" conveys a sense of melancholy or nostalgia. Is this how the idiom is used
He nodded and quickly finalized her appointment time on the schedule
When she was eighteen years old, she grew wisdom teeth, and the pain was unbearable, so she went to the hospital. Later, when it was time to extract the teeth, the doctor asked her the same question...
Lan Xiaojun was taken aback, and immediately exclaimed "What the heck!" She then let go of her thoughts and jumped around the entire dormitory for a while, before squinting her eyes and giving a thumbs up, saying: "Well-deserved."
The thoughts are somewhat hesitant
Ouyang walked in with a smile, adjusting the height as he spoke: "You will be the only one here in a moment. Maintain this position, close your eyes, and do not move. Alright, I will let you know when to proceed, understood?"
When using the mouth mirror to examine the molar inside, the other hand stabilizes her chin, and the fingertips make slight contact, feeling a gentle warmth: "Bite down on the molar."
Lost in thought, she gazed at him with a hint of confusion
She shook her head, and at the thought of lying on the dental chair to be at the mercy of others, a chill ran down her spine. She quickly said, "Let's schedule the tooth extraction for another time..."
The X-ray room is on the first floor. Ouyang led her downstairs, proceeding along the central corridor until they reached the left room at the end, where they finally stopped: "Come in with me."
The large tooth bites down.
She was about to turn to the side to continue adjusting, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Assistant Ouyang standing at the door, and immediately pretended to be admiring her surroundings, looking around...
Lan Xiaojun saw her petrified at the door and couldn't help but lean in to eavesdrop a little, but because she arrived late... all she heard was a single phrase "Work hard" before the other party hung up the phone
To correct it, you will need to extract four teeth, two from the upper left and two from the upper right, specifically the fourth tooth counted from the midline of your front teeth. He turned on the light and gestured for her to get up: There are also costs associated with the correction, and I will briefly explain them to you.
A glance at the thoughts reveals that the anterior teeth are indeed crowded, with a small portion exhibiting overlapping shadows
This is indeed a problem
Xu Runqing paused for a moment, lowered his gaze towards her, and said: "Let's take the model before the tooth extraction. Are we extracting today?"
Comrade Lao Nian understood her thought process and knew that she was currently contemplating. He appropriately added fuel to the fire: "Of course, you now have complete decision-making authority. I am merely providing you with an additional option for you to weigh. If you wish to go to the public hospital at University B, your father will definitely support you, so there is no need for any concerns."
If he remembers correctly, it seems that Dr. Xu's apartment is located in the city center
Nianxiang bit down on his big teeth, revealing a mouthful of white, gleaming teeth as he continued to look at him
Comrade Lao Nian smiled slyly and said, "It's a secret!"
Nianxiang repeatedly tapped her head... She originally thought that the fees at a private dental hospital would be relatively high, but when all was calculated, it turned out to be not much different from her expectations
Comrade Lao Nian pondered for a moment before stating: "Public hospitals have many rules and are quite busy. If you encounter a meticulous teacher, it might be fine, but if you come across one who is unwilling to teach you, wouldn't that just waste your time? Moreover, although public hospitals are quite good, conflicts can easily intensify, leading to potential issues"
Compared to a certain someone who is just passable, the thoughts are indeed very incompatible
Ouyang neatly arranged the items he had taken from the equipment room, unable to resist glancing back at Xu Runqing a few more times, and said: "Doctor Xu, it seems that you are in a good mood today..."
Thoughts: `` ... ... ''
Moreover, is it really acceptable to say something like, "My home is far from my workplace," with such confidence?
Xu Runqing looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile and said: "Don't you want to get started as soon as possible? Today is Monday, just right, there are fewer patients, so there's no need to wait in line"
Alas... it's all her fault. Not only was she driving without a license, but she also scratched someone else's car while reversing...
What do you mean by taking shortcuts? My daughter is so outstanding that employers are eager to hire her, and there is no need for any shortcuts. It's just that her father happens to know that person, and it's just a coincidence... you understand, right
After finishing his statement, he added, "My home is far from my workplace, and it has been quite inconvenient these past few days"
The internship opportunity at Hospital B is indeed quite rare
Who knows...
Why did she suddenly have a sense of foreboding
However, when she conveyed this news to Comrade Lao Nian, his reaction was somewhat unexpected for her: "I thought you wouldn't be selected, so I didn't mention it to you in advance"
Thoughts silently shed tears ... ... It was you who asked me if I understood ... ... TAT When I went upstairs back to the consultation room, Xu Runqing was already leaning on the workbench with one hand, carefully examining her images with the other hand holding the mouse.
Nianxiang followed him back to the workbench, where she saw him casually pull out a sheet of white paper. He quickly and clearly listed several strings of numbers on it, calculating the charging method in a concise manner.
Xu Runqing looked carefully a few times and saw that she was also intently staring at the film. He raised his hand and pointed to the dental chair: "Lie down, let me take a look at your oral condition"
The tone of this sentence does not carry any blame; rather, it contains a hint of helplessness. It is precisely this kind of "self-pitying" tone that causes the thoughts to reflect with a sense of guilt while fidgeting with one's fingers.
By the time Ouyang helped the nurse downstairs change the water in the water dispenser and came back up, Nianxiang had already left
She let out a soft "Oh" and turned to follow Ouyang
Moreover, according to what I have learned, many students actually regard the internship opportunities at University B as a stepping stone, preparing to pursue further studies abroad. This is due to the tense doctor-patient relationship in the country, as well as the inadequate compensation and lack of respect for physicians.
Is she really my own? I actually have no expectations for her at all
Comrade Lao Nian said with great satisfaction: "Rest assured, this matter has already been arranged by your father. You just need to prepare a nice resume and meet with them for a meal a few days before the internship."
The thought hesitated before speaking: "... isn't it inappropriate to take the back door?"
Nianxiang nodded slightly and took a glance at the panoramic dental X-ray machine, automatically standing in the middle. Noticing that Ouyang was still in the control room outside, he couldn't help but adjust the height and angle himself, resting his chin against it to give it a try: "Hmm... it's still a bit low."
Once she lay down comfortably, he adjusted the height of the dental chair, then looked up at the light, slightly lowering it to align with her mouth: "Open your mouth."
Xu Runqing leaned back against the workbench, gazing at the silhouette of his thoughts, furrowing his brow in contemplation
The central content is that it has been selected
He glanced around, clearly unable to believe how quickly the two had finalized the plan: "Doctor Xu, has that girl left?"
After finishing, he appropriately added, "However, the schedule at private hospitals is indeed more flexible, allowing for plenty of time to sleep in. Moreover, the cafeteria food is quite good..."
Xu Runqing let out a soft "hm" as the pen he held between his long fingers paused slightly in its rotation
After reporting the progress of the correction to Comrade Feng via mobile phone, she simply returned to the school. As soon as she pushed open the dormitory door, without having the time to appreciate Lan Xiaojun's fighting posture in the game, she received a call from her counselor
Xu Runqing twirled the pen that lingered at his fingertips and replied nonchalantly, "It seems to be acceptable..."
Comrade Lao Nian thought for a moment and added with great understanding: "Don't worry, you don't need to look for it yourself; your father has already found one for you. Just report there when the time comes. The key point is that this doctor is very good, highly educated, and experienced. If he is patient in teaching you, you can learn in one year what others might take three years to learn."
