Yunyi gave a few more instructions to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then turned and left the patient’s room.
Checking the time, after all that commotion, it was nearly the end of her shift.
Just as she returned to her office, Doctor Qiu followed her in. "Yunyi," he said, "I’ll take your shift tonight, and you can repay the favor next time."
Doctor Qiu also noticed something unusual. Knowing that things might become unstable soon, he worried that if something happened at night, Yunyi, being a young woman, might not be able to handle it. He thought it would be better for him to cover the night shifts for everyone in the coming days.
Yunyi knew Doctor Qiu meant well. "Doctor Qiu," she said, "you’ve forgotten that I have martial arts skills. I’ll be fine."
Doctor Qiu still wanted to say something, but fearing he would insist further, Yunyi said decisively, "My partner is coming over, and he can accompany me on my shift tonight. You don’t need to worry."
Assured by her words, Doctor Qiu agreed, "In that case, alright."
After Doctor Qiu left, Yunyi prepared the medical orders, just as Nurse Chen Xiaojuan also came in. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Yunyi handed the medical orders to her. "Keep a close eye on things," she instructed, "and notify me promptly if anything happens."
Chen Xiaojuan knew the importance of the matter and nodded. "I understand."
With her tasks there finished, Yunyi went to the entrance of the clinic to see if Huo Jingrui had finished his work and returned.
And, as luck would have it, just as she stepped out, she saw Huo Jingrui approaching from a distance.
Perhaps it was a case of telepathy; Huo Jingrui also looked up and saw her. The two of them stood there, looking at each other from a short distance away.
Huo Jingrui quickened his pace and approached her. "You’re on duty today, right?" he asked. "What would you like to eat? I’ll cook for you."
Thinking of Jingrui from her past two lives, whom she had trained into an excellent cook, Yunyi wondered how much he knew this time around, aside from roasting game. "What can you cook?" she asked.
