Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

The barbecue restaurant was silent for a full three seconds.

Wang Dandan stared at Su Ye's phone screen, her mouth slightly agape and her eyes almost wide open. Wang Luo was even more exaggerated, practically leaping off his chair, as if he wanted to tear the screen off to examine it closely and see if there was a bug in the system.

First in the province.

This is too heavy.

They all knew very well what the medical licensing exam was. It tested all medical undergraduates, master's students, resident trainees, and young doctors from major hospitals across the province. It wasn't just about intelligence, but also about accumulated knowledge, clinical thinking, and exam-taking experience.

It's already quite an achievement that you passed.

But Su Ye quietly took first place in the province.

This is no longer considered excellent.

This is crushing.

Su Ye simply glanced down at it.

In his opinion, this result was perfectly normal.

Ultimately, the core of the medical practitioner's license exam is still basic theoretical knowledge, the test points, the framework, memorization, and understanding. As long as you master enough knowledge points, summarize and organize them in your mind, and quickly recall them in the exam, getting a high score is not difficult.

And these things are precisely the simplest for Su Ye now.

Things you can get points for by rote memorization.

Isn't this child's play?

But the three people around him didn't think so.

Wang Dandan slowly put down her phone, looked at Su Ye, her eyes somewhat dazed.

"Number one in the province..."

Her voice even softened a bit.

What does this mean?

This means that it's practically a done deal for Su Ye to stay at the hospital. As long as there are no major problems during his residency training and his skills assessment is stable, the hospital has no reason to let him go.

What next?

Attending physician, associate senior physician, or even further afield, transferred to the provincial hospital, to a larger platform.

The future is limitless.

While they are still worrying about whether they are qualified to be hospitalized, others have already started from a new beginning.

Wang Luo opened his mouth, but suddenly the meat in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.

envious.

It was even a bit frustrating.

We're all resident trainees, working together every day, following the same schedule, getting scolded together, so how can the difference between people be so huge?

Wang Dandan sighed, leaned back, and spread her hands, looking resigned to her fate.

"This must be a monster."

They hadn't known Su Ye for very long, but this guy gave off an impression of being incredibly strong. He seemed to be the embodiment of a powerful figure, able to adapt quickly to any environment and reign supreme with the aura of a true powerhouse. It was truly astonishing.

Wang Luo used to say that Su Ye was a legend at their school. She used to think it was an exaggeration, but now she understands what a legend really means.

"I give up." Wang Luo put down the clamp and said seriously, "Brother Su, don't forget your brother when you make it big in the future."

Su Ye glanced at him.

"You're quite dramatic."

"I'm investing! Hehe."

Wang Dandan couldn't resist joining in the fun: "Then I'll also put in a little. If Director Su becomes successful in the future, remember to look after us nobodies."

Su Bei sat to the side, listening to their banter, her envy undisguised.

She admired him, but she didn't feel any jealousy.

People are indeed different.

Some people are just born to be ahead of the curve.

She picked up her juice, gently tapped the glass on the table, and said with a smile, "Anyway, Su Ye, congratulations."

"Congratulations!"

Su Ye raised his glass and gently clinked it against theirs.

"Thanks."

……

at the same time.

On the other side of the city, in a small rented room.

Jiang Xiaoyue had just finished washing up, wearing a loose nightgown, her hair half-dry and draped over her shoulders, her cheeks slightly flushed from the steam of the hot water. She plopped down on the sofa, expertly opened her laptop, and logged into the medical license exam results page.

I've already checked her grades.

by.

She even gave a small fist pump, and was so happy she almost jumped off the sofa, feeling much more relaxed.

It's over now, that's good.

We've finally gotten through this hurdle.

Then she thought of Su Ye.

That guy has been acting strangely lately. He only asked her for study materials the day before the exam, which made her furious and worried sick. Logically speaking, with Su Ye's previous foundation, he should be able to pass, right? But she was still uneasy, feeling that his recent behavior was off.

Jiang Xiaoyue pursed her lips and reopened the search page.

She remembered Su Ye's exam admission ticket number.

Type and press Enter.

The page loaded.

Then, the results appeared.

Jiang Xiaoyue first saw the word "passed" and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when her gaze shifted downwards and she froze.

Ranking of scores.

1th place.

Jiang Xiaoyue blinked, then blinked again, thinking she had misread it.

She leaned closer to the screen and stared at the line of text, reading it over and over again three times.

Su Ye, number one?

First in the province?

"this……"

Jiang Xiaoyue sat up straight immediately.

The medical licensing exam is not the same as university course exams. In addition to basic theory, it also includes a lot of clinical judgment and comprehensive assessment. The number of questions is large and the time is tight. It is not at all the same level as the exam papers in school.

She originally thought that even if Su Ye was a genius, it would be quite impressive if he could pass the test by cramming for one night.

And then you tell her, "This guy finished reviewing all night and got first place in the province?"

"No way..."

Jiang Xiaoyue held her laptop, her eyes wide open.

Even if this guy is a genius, he shouldn't be this genius!

She sat on the sofa for several seconds, then suddenly let out a soft hum, wrinkling her nose with a hint of girlish annoyance.

"This guy must have already reviewed everything. He was just teasing me, making me worry for nothing."

She clenched her fist, which was quite adorable.

"How awful!"

She said that, but she couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes.

She picked up her phone, intending to immediately send Su Ye a message to scold him and congratulate him, but her finger paused on the screen for a moment and then put it down.

Forget it.

Let this guy be smug for a while.

I'll start cursing tomorrow.

……

Night was falling.

Su Ye returned to his residence.

Without turning on the lights, he pushed open the window, climbed up to the rooftop, and felt the night breeze blowing in from above, carrying the coolness and noise unique to the city. The lights of the distant high-rise buildings stretched out like a sea of ​​stars suspended above the ground.

Beneath my feet are the lights of countless homes.

Above me was the endless night sky.

Su Ye stood between this world and slowly closed his eyes.

The sound of his heartbeat was amplified infinitely in his perception.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Each beat was like striking a large drum in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), causing blood to rush, muscles and bones to hum, and the gradually stabilizing spiritual energy channel within the body to vibrate gently at this moment.

call.

suck.

His breathing changed accordingly, gradually synchronizing with his heartbeat.

The wind in the city seemed to have stopped for a moment.

A few vines hanging from the edge of the rooftop swayed gently, and the treetops in the distance trembled slightly. In the darkness of the night, the spiritual threads that ordinary people could not detect were invisibly stirred at this moment.

Thread by thread, strand by strand.

People from all directions converged on Suye.

Under the night sky, he stood alone, a sea of ​​light beneath his feet and a galaxy above him, as if he had become the center of some kind of vortex. The threads of spiritual energy disintegrated the moment they approached him, turning into tiny specks of light that flowed down his brow and into his body with his breath.

"not bad!"
