Zhang Xin blurted out her words. Realizing she was only an intern nurse and had overstepped, she felt embarrassed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to ask that."
"It's fine," Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "You can certainly learn. I will teach at the Military Medical University after work. Although I won't teach often, some of the content involves medicine arrays."
Zhang Xin’s eyes lit up. "Little Divine Doctor, if I pass my exam to upgrade from junior college to bachelor's, can I learn medicine arrays then?"
"First, you must study Traditional Chinese Medicine," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Western doctors won't understand medicine arrays. Only TCM doctors do, because the herbs and acupuncture used are all TCM knowledge."
"I originally planned to just be a nurse. But since Little Divine Doctor is so amazing, I plan to take the upgrade exam. I’ll aim for TCM. If I get in, I must learn medicine arrays. If not, I’ll strive to return as your nurse," Zhang Xin said very seriously.
Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Walk your own path. I’m not as good as you think."
"Little Divine Doctor is very good," Zhang Xin looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously, displeased with her self-deprecation.
Gu Jingtian laughed loudly from the side. "Little Junior Sister, I didn't know you had a fan here. Not bad."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head with a helpless smile. "Alright, clean up and let's go out."
The surgery had taken nearly three hours but went smoothly. Zhu Yanyi had Zhang Xin push Zhu Xinfu’s movable bed into the ward. She then said to Huang Meiying and Zhu Shunyao, "Grandma, Dad, Grandpa’s surgery was successful. Once he recovers, he just needs walking rehabilitation. He’ll be walking soon."
"That’s good. Smooth is good," Zhu Shunyao sighed in relief. Though he trusted his daughter, hearing the good news still made him happy.
Huang Meiying also relaxed. She then said to Zhu Yanyi, "Since your grandpa is fine, go rest. A three-hour surgery is tiring enough."
Zhu Yanyi didn’t know what to say. Just a few days ago, she had spent over thirty hours removing a gu poison. Before that, she had performed a surgery for over twenty hours.
But knowing Huang Meiying meant well, she smiled and accepted the concern. "When Grandpa wakes up, he can drink some water or eat some porridge. That’s fine. Just avoid greasy food. No heavy meat or oily dishes."
"I know that. Who eats heavy meat after surgery? Unless they don’t want to live," Huang Meiying smiled.
Zhu Yanyi checked for any other instructions, found none, and left with a smile, heading back to her practice chamber.
As soon as she entered, Qin Tianxiang arrived, holding a thermal box. "Lord Yan sent this. she said she had to go out for a bit and told you to eat first when you returned."
Zhu Yanyi nodded, washed her hands, and opened the box. Inside were small wontons.
She picked up a spoon and started eating. "Do you know where Aohan went?"
"Lord Yan didn’t say. But he said he’ll be back soon," Qin Tianxiang answered.
Zhu Yanyi nodded, then added, "I have many surgeries scheduled these days. You’re following me. Does Little Frog have any objections?"
"My mother-in-law is taking care of him. Besides, I go home at night," Qin Tianxiang smiled. "Even if I didn’t, Wei Guo is on leave these days."
"Isn’t Brother Wei Guo assigned to the Capital?" Zhu Yanyi took a bite of a wonton.
Qin Tianxiang nodded. "But there were some exercises recently, so he was busy. Now that it’s over, he has half a month of leave."
"In that case, why don’t you take leave the day after tomorrow? Let Sister Zhang temporarily replace you as my assistant. Come back when your leave is over," Zhu Yanyi suggested with a smile.
"I won’t be polite then," Qin Tianxiang said, knowing Zhu Yanyi was busy. Since she was busy, she went out less, so their protection duties were mostly covert.
"Just tell Brother Luo," Zhu Yanyi said. She was open-minded about this. Qin Tianxiang had her own family; she couldn’t let her own busyness burden Qin Tianxiang.
"Okay," Qin Tianxiang agreed happily.
After finishing the wontons and cleaning up, Yan Aohan walked in. His expression was poor, and there was a faint trace of anger in his eyes.
Yan Aohan rarely got angry. The presence of this thin anger showed someone had really annoyed him.
"Did something happen?" Zhu Yanyi asked with concern.
Qin Tianxiang had left when Yan Aohan entered.
Yan Aohan closed the door before speaking. "It’s that bastard Zhan Diting."
"Zhan Diting? Didn’t she go to deliver the antidote for Absolute Soul?" Zhu Yanyi remembered Zhan Diting had gone with Old Black, Old White, and Old Pan.
"Yes. He delivered the antidote. That should have been it. But he came back. And after coming back, he went to warn Silver Fox," Yan Aohan said. He really wanted to open Zhan Diting’s head to see what he was thinking. With his poor health, he actually went to warn Silver Fox.
"Did nothing bad happen?" Zhu Yanyi didn’t know how Zhan Diting knew Silver Fox, but she cared about Zhan Diting. It was mostly because she loved Yan Aohan, so she cared for his friends. Silver Fox’s stance was still unknown, so her heart tilted slightly toward Zhan Diting.
Yan Aohan nodded. "No problem. Fortunately, Silver Fox wasn’t in the mood to cause trouble. But I say, how can someone so grown-up not know what’s good for them?"
"Maybe it’s her personality," Zhu Yanyi said, not knowing what else to say, only offering comfort.
Yan Aohan saw Zhu Yanyi’s concern. He was just angry that Zhan Diting didn’t take care of herself. Seeing Zhu Yanyi worry for him, he felt a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, Ani. I made you worry for me."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head with a smile. "It’s rare to see you care about someone this much."
She looked at her gently. "I know what kind of person you are. You have your own scale in your heart. If it weren’t someone you cared about, you wouldn’t be angry. Your anger proves you care about Zhan Diting. Besides, Zhan Diting really wasn’t careful. With her body, she should protect it well. Instead, she went out wandering and warned someone who is neither friend nor foe. That was indeed too much."
