After Qin Xiao finished showering, he went out to the balcony and saw Xiao Li there, so he joined her and they gazed at the stars together...
"The night is beautiful tonight!" Xiao Li said happily, leaning in Qin Xiao's arms.
Qin Xiao gave Xiao Li's earlobe a gentle kiss, "Not as beautiful as you."
As he finished speaking, the kiss landed.
Initially, Qin Xiao just wanted to give a light kiss, but Xiao Li responded so quickly that Qin Xiao was instantly captivated.
And finally, well!
Of course, they went back to bed.
In the following days, Xiao Li was completely busy, with exams coming one after another.
After the exams, her internship hospital was also decided.
She and a few others, including Feng Qing, were lucky to be placed in the same hospital for their internship, the First Hospital of S City.
The only downside was, Xiao Li and Dai Zihan were first assigned to intern in the emergency department, while Xiao Wenjing went to surgery, and Feng Qing went to internal medicine.
The four of them were not placed together, and during the internship, they had to rotate, interning in emergency, internal medicine, and surgery.
From the start, the four of them weren't in the same place, making it even harder to be assigned together later.
In the Mountain View District near the City Hospital, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li were apartment hunting.
As soon as the hospital was confirmed, Qin Xiao brought Xiao Li here to look at houses, and Xiao Li started her internship right in emergency, not the best luck.
Because emergency is quite exhausting, with high work intensity.
So when Qin Xiao found out, he immediately started looking for a house to buy early, so Xiao Li could rest nearby after her shifts.
Even though the hospital provides rest areas for doctors, to be honest, you can't really rest well at the hospital, Qin Xiao had experienced this himself...
After viewing two duplex apartments, Xiao Li picked the one she liked more, and Qin Xiao bought it directly.
Mainly because Xiao Li felt that house hunting was too tiring; with that time, she'd rather go home and catch up on sleep, as she'd have much less time to sleep after reporting to the hospital.
Two days later, Xiao Li officially reported to the hospital. The day before, she and Qin Xiao had already moved into the Mountain View District.
In the hospital emergency department, doctors were bustling around non-stop.
Xiao Li and Dai Zihan stood at the emergency department's office door, somewhat dazed as they looked inside...
Dai Zihan swallowed and quietly said to Xiao Li, "Little Li Li, are we going to be as crazily busy as them in the future?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Most likely, yes."
At this moment, a nurse came over and asked what they were doing at the emergency department, and if they were feeling unwell.
Xiao Li hurriedly explained, "We're not here as patients, we're here to report in."
Saying this, she showed the form given by the school to the nurse.
The nurse, upon hearing that they were medical students reporting in, took them to the department head.
The department head of the emergency department was a woman named Huang. After reviewing their information and confirming there were no issues, she called in two doctors from the department to guide them.
The doctor assigned to guide Dai Zihan was a roughly thirty-year-old male doctor, surnamed Shao, who others called Doctor Shao.
The doctor guiding Xiao Li was a woman in her forties, surnamed Yang, who others called Doctor Yang.
Both seemed a bit displeased being assigned to guide newcomers but said nothing and just led them away.
On Xiao Li's first day in the emergency department, she followed Doctor Yang, inquiring about patient conditions, taking notes, creating medical records...
By the end of the day, she was so busy her hands were sore.
That night, since it was their first day of internship and they needed adjustment time, they didn't have to work the night shift and went home early to rest.
Even so, Xiao Li felt utterly exhausted.
Qin Xiao had interned before and knew how intense the early days of an internship are and that she'd be utterly exhausted after coming home.
So, before setting off to pick Xiao Li up, he filled the bathtub with water, making it slightly hot, so she could soak and relax as soon as she got back.
In the duplex apartment, Qin Xiao hadn't hired a housekeeper. He didn't want anyone disturbing his and Xiao Li's private world, just a part-time worker to clean daily...
So now he could only prepare the bathwater ahead of time, rather than having someone else do it.
But Qin Xiao liked the feeling of personally taking care of things for Xiao Li.
With the water ready, Qin Xiao went to the hospital to pick up Xiao Li. Even though the apartment complex was just steps away from the hospital, Qin Xiao insisted on picking her up, even if it was just downstairs.
Just as Qin Xiao reached the entrance of the apartment complex, Xiao Li was walking in from outside. Seeing Qin Xiao, she smiled and said, "Didn't I say, there's no need to pick me up, it's so close, I'll be there in no time."
Qin Xiao took the bag from Xiao Li's hands, "No matter how close, I want to pick you up. I want to see you a second earlier."
Hearing this, Xiao Li laughed, "Don't you have class today?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "Not today, but starting tomorrow I do..."
Chatting and laughing, they went home. As soon as they walked through the door, Qin Xiao directed Xiao Li to go for a soak. Hearing this, Xiao Li dashed away excitedly to take a bath.
While Xiao Li was taking her bath, Qin Xiao started preparing dinner.
He first opened a bottle of red wine to let it breathe, then took out two steaks to cook, along with eggs and bacon, finally adding some veggies...
Once everything was ready, Qin Xiao set the table and lit some candles.
When Xiao Li came downstairs after her bath, she saw that Qin Xiao had set a romantic table and hurried over excitedly.
Seeing her come down, Qin Xiao grabbed the wine to pour. Xiao Li put her hand up to stop him.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao chuckled, "What's the matter? You don't want to drink?
It's your first day of internship, you must be tired. A sip of wine might help you relax..."
Xiao Li shook her head, "No, I want to read a bit later, need to keep my mind clear."
Actually, she was worried she might be pregnant, and drinking wouldn't be good for the baby.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao set the wine aside and poured Xiao Li fruit juice, while serving a bit of wine for himself. They clinked glasses and quietly began eating...
After finishing their meal, they sat on the sofa to relax. As soon as she unwound, Xiao Li, who had said she'd read a bit, promptly fell asleep.
Seeing her asleep, Qin Xiao carried her to bed.
The next day, Xiao Li quickly ate breakfast and hurried to the hospital, while Qin Xiao, also having classes, headed to school after dropping Xiao Li off at the hospital.
In the emergency room, Xiao Li quietly stood before Doctor Yang. Doctor Yang was reviewing the medical records Xiao Li had made the previous day. Afterward, she pointed out one or two areas Xiao Li needed to improve, but did not harshly criticize her.
Once the pointers were given, Doctor Yang led Xiao Li to work busily once again.
Before she left, Xiao Li glanced at the nearby Dai Zihan, who was getting fiercely scolded by Doctor Shao, silently lighting a candle for her in her heart.
She felt so lucky to be under Doctor Yang!
Elsewhere, Qin Xiao was also beginning his first class teaching at S City Medical University. When he walked into the classroom, one student was completely stunned on the spot.
