Healing Doctor

Chapter 565 Ji Xiang's Unbearable Past

After the conversation outside the operating room, the scene switches to the anesthesia recovery room.

Ji Xiang did not give up; he continued to communicate with the patient's family.

"Xiao Ji's words are a bit redundant," said Director Liu. "Does he expect every patient to agree to tests like the one he encountered in the hepatobiliary surgery department? Xiao Ji was lucky that time, but that doesn't mean he can convince all patients."

Director Bai nodded slightly.

After Ji Xiang handed the written "communication" to the patient's family, the scene didn't linger on the hospital. The program flashed by images of sunset, traffic, and neon lights, representing the passage of time, conveying to the audience in just a few seconds that it was already late at night.

When the rapidly passing time returned to normal, the scene did not freeze in the gastrointestinal surgeon's office, nor did it show the new chief resident, professor, department head, and interns chatting.

The scene didn't return to the hepatobiliary surgery and neurosurgery departments; besides Ji Xiang, Director Fan's figure even appeared in the scene...

"Dr. Ji Xiang, why aren't you going back to rest? What are you waiting for here?" Director Fan asked.

He and Ji Xiang were sitting on the waiting chairs in the emergency room lobby, and Director Fan's appearance in front of the camera seemed a bit strange.

"I just like watching people come and go," Ji Xiang said calmly.

Although it was a ridiculous statement, Director Fan seemed to believe it when Ji Xiang said it.

Director Fan smiled and asked, "Dr. Ji Xiang, at your age you should be spending more time with your girlfriend. By the way, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"no."

"You must have quite a few admirers," Director Fan said with a smile as he chatted casually with Ji Xiang.

As Director Liu watched TV, he recalled the scene of Zhao Mengmeng handing Ji Xiang an open bottle of water on their first meeting, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"I have psychological trauma," Ji Xiang said gently.

"Shadows? Can you tell me more about them?" Director Fan asked curiously.

"When I was in high school, I had an online romance with a girl named Nen Nen, and we played King of Glory together." Ji Xiang started reminiscing, his face showing an unusual expression.

"Her voice is really nice, we had a lot of fun playing. Hey, Director Fan, have you played King of Glory before?"

"I know, but I've never played it. That's a young person's world," Director Fan replied.

Everyone watching the screen probably guessed that it was a melodramatic love story.

Young people, they're having fun together, but who knows what might happen? Maybe even the smallest thing can lead to an argument or a breakup.

This is part of my childhood.

"I bought her gifts and did a lot for her." Ji Xiang didn't discuss Honor of Kings with Director Fan, but continued to tell his story, "My dad was very strict with me. Although he wasn't home often at that time, he gave me very little pocket money."

"Oh, just a few dozen yuan a month?"

"Three hundred." Ji Xiang didn't utter the shocking number. "I used it all to buy snacks and skincare products for my girlfriend."

Director Fan continued to smile.

"High school courses aren't that difficult, so they don't affect my studies. I even blocked my parents' WeChat Moments. Actually, I'm being too cautious; I mainly use QQ. Older people mainly use WeChat for social media; they don't use QQ."

Director Fan was moved to tears upon hearing this.

"Until one day, I felt so sweet inside that I couldn't help but tell my mom about my girlfriend."

"Does your mother object to your early romantic relationship?" Director Fan asked.

"No, my mother neither agrees nor objects," Ji Xiang said. "But my mother thinks I buy too many things for girls, so she started to investigate."

"..."

"Later I found out that the 'first love' I was always playing King of Glory with was actually my dad's alternate account."

"!!!"

"Sigh, no one knows a son better than his father. Back then, I felt that life was very illusory and unpredictable." Ji Xiang sighed. "So for the years that followed, and even now, I haven't been interested in finding a girlfriend."

"Is your dad...aren't you afraid of causing problems?" Director Fan asked.

Ji Xiang shook his head and did not answer him.

In front of the television, Director Liu and Section Chief Bai beamed with joy.

No, two flowers.

"No wonder Xiao Ji hasn't found a girlfriend yet, now I know!"

"That's really nothing serious," Director Bai said with a smile. "But it seems to make some sense."

"Shall I give it a try?" Director Liu said softly, somewhat tempted.

"You? Don't be ridiculous." Director Bai said disdainfully, "You know how fast Xiao Ji's hands are. His dad can play ranked games with him. Although he might have the idea of ​​carrying his girlfriend, he definitely won't fall too far behind."

Director Liu did not think so.

When you're young, hormones surge, and if a stranger messes up, you'll be furious. But if it's a girl with both good looks and a great voice, then nothing matters.

They chatted for a few minutes, but the variety show was still going on, so they didn't continue their conversation.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, are you alright?"

"I'm alright." Ji Xiang smiled slightly. "If I had to say what my psychological trauma is, it wouldn't be related to men or women, but rather the feeling that I can never escape my father's grasp. This feeling is extremely awful, but thankfully he doesn't usually interfere much with me."

Director Fan had already gained a preliminary understanding of how capable Ji Xiang was through their interactions over the past period. Just like many Border Collie owners whose intelligence was completely outmatched by their Border Collies, Director Fan felt that if his son were like Ji Xiang, he would be completely unable to control him.

The figure who had always overwhelmed Ji Xiang from afar inspired Director Fan's longing.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, let's talk about medical matters. Do you like studying medicine?"

"good."

"So, what unforgettable things have happened in your medical career?" Director Fan asked, as if he were a journalist.

"Unforgettable," Ji Xiang mused. "When I was interning in the proctology department, I encountered a patient there."

"What kind of patient?" Director Fan immediately thought of patients whose toilet bowls were full of blood after defecating, and patients who were crying on the bed after surgery.

"The patient was an ordinary person, a university professor," Ji Xiang said. "After he was discharged from the hospital, he presented my teacher with a banner that read, 'Good for your anus.'"

"You just happened to be here?" Director Fan was taken aback.

"The 'anus' in 'anus' is a pun." Ji Xiang smiled.

Director Fan scratched his head. What's so memorable about this?

Do all the banners that patients present when they are discharged from the hospital have to say things like "miraculous healing" or "master of medicine"? Is it possible for someone to remember someone for a lifetime just because of a pun?

"Director Fan, please read these four characters backwards."

"Upside down?" Director Fan tried reading it backwards, "You have a good anus!"

"That's right," Ji Xiang laughed. "This is the most down-to-earth reply I've ever seen. It praises the doctor, offers blessings, and even seems to have a touch of mockery, as if it's mocking my teacher for hurting him when he changed his dressing."

"..."

As the two were talking, the sound of an ambulance siren came from inside.
