CHAPTER 662: CHAPTER 445: SPLITTING HAIRS

Last night, Nuan’s pain was so unbearable that she couldn’t sleep at all. She spent the latter part of the night crying due to the pain. She endured until morning, went for Gua Sha and a massage for over two hours, and then came back to sleep for half a day. Fortunately, the pain that jumped every half minute finally turned into once every ten or twenty minutes. The doctor said if Nuan kept this up, she would develop neuropathic migraines, a scary thought indeed. This is a reminder to everyone: don’t stay up late, and don’t be like Nuan.

Wang Jing glared fiercely at Jiao Meiqin and let Chuxia drag her out of the small reception room. Jiao Meiqin was a good half head shorter than Wang Jing and had been pushed into the room begrudgingly, feeling guilty from the start. Naturally, she wasn’t inclined to rush forward and ask for trouble.

"Lin Chuxia..." After walking a bit, Wang Jing hesitantly called out to Chuxia.

"Hmm?" Chuxia let go of her hand and turned around, looking inquisitively at her.

After hesitating, Wang Jing asked, "In your hearts, am I really like what Jiao Meiqin said I am?"

Chuxia sized her up and, seeing she wasn’t pretending, said, "Do you want the truth?"

"Yes."

"Yes, in everyone’s hearts, you are exactly like that."

Wang Jing bit her lower lip, not saying anything for a while. Chuxia turned back and continued walking. After a moment, footsteps approached quickly: Wang Jing had caught up and asked, "Do you all think I’m not worthy to follow the teacher?"

Chuxia sighed, stopped in her tracks, and looked at her seriously, "Sister, you’ve been with the teacher for so long, you should know that if you didn’t have the ability or talent, the teacher wouldn’t have kept you by his side for so long, right?"

Wang Jing’s eyes were filled with uncertainty, "But you all..."

Chuxia interrupted her, "Sister, why bother about what others think? Are you living for yourself or for others?"

"It’s precisely because I live for myself that I care about what others think. Aren’t you the same? Otherwise, why would you be so patient with patients?"

This was really one hell of logic! Chuxia let out a helpless sigh, "I’m patient with patients because of professional ethics. Being ill already puts one in a bad mood; should we, on top of that, present them with a cold face and add insult to injury?"

"Do you really do it to get everyone to say good things about you? That’s not why you’re nice to them?" Wang Jing looked at her skeptically, "But the you in front of me and the you in front of the patients are absolutely not the same person."

"If you want me to behave differently in front of you like I do with others, that’s easy, become a patient and I’ll also be patient and polite to you."

"Ptui, ptui, ptui..." Wang Jing spat three times, glaring at Chuxia discontentedly, "Are you cursing me? I’m very healthy and won’t fall ill."

Chuxia rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You asked for it, who’s to blame?"

"You saw Jiao Meiqin’s and Li Qing’s attitude toward me just now. I mean, as a junior, can’t you show me a little more respect? After all, I’ve been here longer than you, and I am your senior, right?"

"Where have I disrespected you?"

"You..." When it came to specifics about how Chuxia had disrespected her, Wang Jing was at a loss for words, but she just felt uncomfortable.

"Respect is earned, not demanded," Chuxia said calmly, looking at her, "If you want my true respect, then don’t always try to get at me at every opportunity.

You also said Jiao Meiqin and Li Qing treated you poorly, but why do they treat you poorly? If you hadn’t been scheming to drive away the juniors in the past, and instead had truly mentored them, would they dare have such an attitude toward you?"

"You..." Wang Jing furrowed her brows, "Are you saying that all the juniors were driven away by me?"

"Am I wronging you?"

"Yes, you are wronging me. Which new trainee didn’t start with cleaning? Why could others do it, but not them? Are you really speaking out for them or just arguing for yourself?"

"Unreasonable." Chuxia gave up on further discussion and turned to head to the office.

There were five or six people lined up outside the office. Chuxia quickened her pace to help Song Xiaoyu with the records.

Wang Jing followed her into the room and, seeing Chuxia already seated next to Song Xiaoyu, her face turned particularly unsightly.

Before the end of their shift, Song Xiaoyu, along with Chuxia and Wang Jing, went to conduct one last round in each ward. In room 418, the old lady in the first bed cheerfully said, "Doctor Song, the Doctor Xiao Lin you’ve brought has not only a good appearance but also a good temperament. If she could come and make more rounds in the ward every day, I’m sure my illness would heal extra quickly."

Song Xiaoyu laughed, "Granny Wang, I didn’t expect Doctor Xiao Lin to have this effect. It seems I’ll have to let her make more rounds in the ward in the future so that the patients would suffer less and save more money. That would indeed be her good deed."
