119: Chapter 119 Good-looking people get food delivered to them wherever they go.

Gu Xueqing linked arms with her father and walked out.

When they reached the door, she looked back.

She looked at Lu Chen first.

Then she looked at Shen Xiaoning.

Then a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She didn't say anything.

She turned and left.

The treatment room was quiet for a few seconds.

Sun Ji had been huddled in the corner; he finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I think I just witnessed a silent declaration of territory."

Shen Xiaoning glared at him.

"Dr. Sun, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything."

Sun Ji tactfully raised his hands and backed out of the treatment room.

Lu Chen looked at Shen Xiaoning and reached out to take the insulated lunch box from her hands.

"What's for lunch?"

Shen Xiaoning's attention was pulled back, the defensiveness on her face instantly dissipated, replaced by an expression of anticipation.

"Braised pork ribs and stir-fried broccoli with shrimp. I specifically got up half an hour earlier than yesterday to make it!"

"It's not the burnt version, right?"

Shen Xiaoning puffed out her cheeks.

"Of course not! Let me tell you, the heat control today was excellent, absolutely not burnt!"

Lu Chen opened the insulated lunch box and glanced at the ribs inside.

The color was indeed not burnt; the sauce looked quite normal.

He picked up a piece and took a bite.

"How is it? How is it?" Shen Xiaoning held her hands in front of her chest, her face full of nervousness.

"Better than last time."

"Really?!"

"Really, at least there's no burnt taste."

Shen Xiaoning's eyes immediately curved into crescents, and her dimples appeared.

"I told you, I've made progress!"

Lu Chen didn't answer and quietly finished the food in the lunch box.

Shen Xiaoning packed up the lunch box, her face full of smiles.

"Then I'll go get busy, get some rest!"

"Mm."

Shen Xiaoning skipped out of the treatment room.

Lu Chen watched her back and shook his head.

At this moment, Sun Ji's head poked out from behind the doorframe again.

"Brother Lu."

"Why are you still here?"

"I've been here the whole time, just wasn't convenient to appear earlier."

"If you have something to say, say it."

Sun Ji walked in with a serious expression.

"I realized a truth today."

"What truth?"

"Good-looking people get meals delivered wherever they go, while ordinary-looking people can't even grab a takeout coupon after work."

Lu Chen glanced at him.

"You can ask Xiao Ning to bring you one too."

Sun Ji gave a bitter smile.

"If I asked, Xiao Ning would definitely pack me the limited edition burnt version."

Just then, Wu Fan passed by the corridor and said indifferently.

"You wouldn't even get the burnt version from anyone."

Sun Ji clutched his chest.

"Brother Wu, you are the most skilled Emergency Department doctor at rubbing salt into wounds I have ever met, the kind that rubs it in after sprinkling it."

Wu Fan didn't even turn his head and walked away.

Sun Ji watched his back and turned to Lu Chen.

"Brother Lu, tell me, do I look okay? Give me an objective evaluation."

"You're okay."

"Really?"

"Mm, you're at the bottom of the list among people who are 'okay'."

Sun Ji looked at Lu Chen's expressionless face and opened his mouth.

"Does anyone in your Emergency Department still speak human language?"

Zhao Yaqin poked her head out from the Nurse Station.

"Are you done talking? Another patient has arrived in the Red Zone."

Sun Ji immediately put away his expression.

"Coming, coming."

Lu Chen also stood up, put away the lunch box, and walked toward the resuscitation area.

For the rest of the afternoon, a few more patients arrived in the Red Zone.

A child with acute urticaria allergic reaction, an old lady with a sprained wrist, and a Middle-aged man sent by security for causing trouble while drunk.

None were too serious, and Lu Chen handled them one by one.

At 5:30, Zhao Yaqin came over to brief them on the night shift.

"Wu Fan and Sun Ji are on duty tonight. You've done your day shift, go back and rest."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Okay."

Zhao Yaqin looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Finally, she said it.

"That female patient who needed Suturing, Gu Xueqing, I checked her registration information just now. Her father does business in Jiangcheng and seems to be quite well-known."

Lu Chen said.

"It has nothing to do with me; she is just an ordinary patient."

Zhao Yaqin smiled.

"I know you don't care about these things, just a reminder. Your reputation is growing, and all kinds of people will come looking for you. Just maintain a normal doctor-patient distance."

"Understood."

Lu Chen packed his things and left the Red Zone.

Passing by the Nurse Station, Shen Xiaoning was organizing items there.

Seeing him about to leave, she quickly caught up two steps.

"Dr. Lu, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll cook it in advance!"

"Whatever."

"Then I'll try sweet and sour pork tenderloin!"

Lu Chen paused.

"Are you sure?"

"What's wrong?"

"Sweet and sour pork tenderloin needs to be deep-fried, and last time you fried something, you made the kitchen smoke."

Shen Xiaoning puffed out her chest.

"That was last time, this time is different, I've already studied three tutorial videos."

"Three tutorial videos."

"Yes!"

"You also studied five tutorial videos when you made braised pork last time."

Shen Xiaoning blushed.

"That was, that was an operational error."

Lu Chen didn't say anything more and waved his hand.

"Go back and rest early."

"You too, good night!"

"It's not night yet."

"Then, good afternoon!"

Lu Chen couldn't help it, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Shen Xiaoning saw it and smiled even more happily.

Back in the Duty Room.

Lu Chen took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the bed.

He picked up his phone and checked the messages.

Sent by Shen Yu.

[Shen Yu: Going out to eat tonight? My treat.]

[Lu Chen: No, I'm tired today, another time.]

[Shen Yu: Alright, rest early.]

There was also one from Gu Bai.

[Gu Bai: Lu Chen, have you seen the post online? You're more popular than me now. As the former number one in the hospital's attractiveness ranking, my heart is very conflicted.]

Lu Chen didn't reply to him.

Shen Xiaoning's message.

[Shen Xiaoning: Dr. Lu, have you arrived at the Duty Room?]

[Lu Chen: Arrived.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Was today's food delicious?]

[Lu Chen: Delicious.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Hehehe! Then I'll definitely make the sweet and sour pork tenderloin well tomorrow!]

[Lu Chen: Do what you can.]

[Shen Xiaoning: What do you mean by do what you can! Can't you have some confidence in me!]

[Lu Chen: My confidence in you is based on the fact that you made the kitchen smoke last time, it's hard not to have reasonable concerns.]

[Shen Xiaoning: That was an accident! Acci! Dent!]

[Shen Xiaoning: Hmph, you'll see tomorrow.]

[Lu Chen: Okay, I'll be waiting.]

It was quiet for a few seconds on the other end.

[Shen Xiaoning: Dr. Lu.]

[Lu Chen: Hmm?]

[Shen Xiaoning: Was that Gu Xueqing today, is she pretty?]

Lu Chen stared at this message for two seconds.

[Lu Chen: Didn't notice.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Really didn't notice?]

[Lu Chen: I was looking at the wound, not the face.]

It was quiet for a few seconds again.

Then a string of messages popped up.

[Shen Xiaoning: Hehehehe he he]

[Shen Xiaoning: Alright, I believe you!]

[Shen Xiaoning: Then good night!]

[Lu Chen: Good night.]

Lu Chen put down his phone.

He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

He went over the events of the day in his mind.

The multiple trauma rescue in the morning, the family kneeling during rounds at noon, the cosmetic Suturing in the afternoon.

Everything was pushing him forward.

The system gave him abilities, but how to use these abilities, when to use them, and how much force to use, every judgment still had to be made by himself.

After a while, he opened his eyes and opened the system.

It was time to settle today's events.

The familiar interface unfolded in his consciousness.
