Chapter 182: 【182】He really likes her a lot. Cao Yong reached out and took hold of the hand with which she offered him tissues. Xie Wanying just stared at him, not knowing what was going on. With his other hand on his forehead, Cao Yong wondered, “What should I do?” This incredibly smart junior in medicine appeared to be utterly clueless about emotions, like a naturally dopey person. He was a neurosurgeon, studying people’s brains, but now he felt rather helpless about his junior’s natural ditziness. All his classmates had noticed how he looked at her with a deep fondness in his eyes. Yet, the junior seemed to have not noticed at all. Would a direct confession scare her to death? Thinking it over, Cao Yong lifted his head and asked her, “Why do you want to become a doctor?” “Being a doctor is a very happy thing,” Xie Wanying said. She gave the same answer she had given to the class president before. But Senior Cao’s reaction was different from the class president’s. “Happy,” Cao Yong pondered the word, feeling there was no helping how simple-minded his junior was. Happiness came with worries. Just like him, now trapped in love, feeling happiness and anxiety every day. Xie Wanying was also puzzled as she looked at Senior Cao’s expression, which seemed like a bitter smile. “Don’t you have a more specific reason?” Cao Yong asked her again. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The specific reasons were her grandpa and her mom. Xie Wanying fell silent. Across from her, when she didn’t speak, she resembled the lonely moon in the sky. Cao Yong frowned slightly, unable to resist reaching out his hand, his fingertips touching her face. Senior Cao? Xie Wanying was startled. Right then, her phone started ringing. Xie Wanying turned to take out her phone, saw that it was a call from home, and, worried that her mom might need something, quickly answered, “Mom—” “Mom? It’s your dad. What’s the matter with you, having a phone? Neither your mom nor I have phones. Where did you get a phone from? Where did you get the money to buy a phone? Didn’t we already say we don’t have money to fund your studies? Did you use the money from home to buy a phone?” Xie Changrong’s voice blustered at his daughter, accusingly. Sun Rongfang rushed over and started fighting with her husband for the phone, “What do you mean you don’t have a phone? Didn’t you buy yourself one? Yingying hasn’t asked for a penny from home these past few years. Why are you blaming her? Her tuition and living expenses are all covered by scholarships she earned. The phone was a reward from the school.” “I’ve asked around, and I’ve never heard of a school rewarding a student with a phone,” Xie Changrong said. “Yingying is different; she needs a phone to be a doctor,” Sun Rongfang replied. “You believe her nonsense!” “Why shouldn’t I believe her? She is my daughter! She got into the best medical college in the country, and you haven’t even finished elementary school!” This remark hit Xie Changrong where it hurt, and he paced around furiously, eager to have it out with his wife but fearing he couldn’t win against her. “Yingying, don’t worry, just focus on your studies and ignore your dad. If you have time during the Spring Festival, go out and have some fun. If anything comes up, Mom’s got your back!” Sun Rongfang took the opportunity to nag her daughter to get some rest, “Also, Li Xuan has gone to see you. I asked her to bring some cured meat for you. If you like it, Mom will make some more for you.” Xie Wanying felt a twinge in her nose and sniffled before telling her mother, “Mom, it’s delicious, but you don’t need to make it.” “Silly child, if you like it just say so. I know you can’t get good food from home over there,” Sun Rongfang said, “Next time, I’ll have Li Xuan come help me, and then send you some more food. You have to eat, you know?”
