Chapter 671 - 334: So-called Evil Dragon!~

"Your dad and I had no particular reason, just happened to be nearby and thought we'd come to see you."

"Make sure to get plenty of rest." Yan Sangyue cut off the conversation, put down the fruit, and called Mu Leng away again.

Mu Leng, having mingled in society, intended to test Lu Cheng's attitude this time, see if he's too arrogant, not giving face.

But upon realizing Lu Cheng was genuinely too busy, he swallowed down his dogmatic training.

"Lu Cheng, have you guys eaten yet?"

"If you're still up for it, why don't we eat together?" Mu Leng suggested.

"Dad, I've caught a slight cold, so I won't join you for drinks." Lu Cheng understood the hint.

Yan Sangyue immediately started scolding: "All you think about is your drink, isn't it?"

"Come on, come on..."

Mu Leng left the room dejectedly.

Lu Cheng continued with a laugh: "Dad, next time, next time I'll join you."

"Alright, next time I'll call your dad over too. It's been a while since we've had a good drink." Mu Leng now only has this hobby.

...

Stepping outside, the cold wind brushed against his face.

Yan Sangyue calmed down: "Lu Cheng is still so young. Why has he become like this?"

Yan Sangyue isn't just an ordinary village woman. She knows Lu Cheng studies well and works decently, but she knows many doctors.

For a doctor Lu Cheng's age, no matter how excellent, they shouldn't really have reached high levels.

Most people at Lu Cheng's age would consider it good already to hold their ground in a department.

"I've told you before, if something unusual happens, there's definitely something amiss."

"When I didn't let you accept your friend's invitation casually, I thought of this too."

"The fact that your friend calls you means she's definitely tried other ways, but those ways still don't work."

Mu Leng squinted his eyes, the elevator stopped in the basement, he held the door allowing Yan Sangyue to walk out first.

"Being a doctor is a relatively unique profession where ordinary skills can be replaced easily."

"Yet when there's a skill that can't be replaced, naturally the network of connections will gather around."

"At this point, one must make some sacrifices."

Mu Leng sighed: "So, being a doctor is still good. It's one of the few professions where you can ignore basic background and cross social classes to organize connections."

Having mixed in society for long, you increasingly understand life's uncertainties – birth, aging, sickness, and death.

The older you get, the more wealth you accumulate, the more you cherish life.

The barriers to medicine are high!

Few would refuse to have a reliable doctor as a friend.

No one escapes experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death...

Among these, birth and death can't be chosen, aging can't be reversed, only sickness has the chance to be intervened by human effort.

"Are you saying Xiao Shu is still climbing higher?" Yan Sangyue furrowed her brows tightly.

Mu Leng rolled his eyes: "How come all you think about daily is who's climbing higher, if it's a match made in heaven?"

"If Xiao Shu were looking for someone else, she'd definitely consider these things."

"Those two?"

"Don't bother yourself with these things."

"You should really think about what kind of person Xiao Lu is."

Yan Sangyue: "He has no issues with character, he's hardworking, diligent, his IQ, EQ are all okay."

"It's just that previously, I did mention."

"Don't know if Xiao Lu actually listened."

Mu Leng said: "If you've mentioned it, there's a chance someone heard it, maybe Xiao Shu might even relay those words to him intact."

"It depends on whether Xiao Lu takes it to heart."

"That, I can't be certain."

"After all, although they're young, they're both very sure about love and hate."

"That's just the temperament of young people..."

Mu Leng's words made Yan Sangyue worry more: "Might this affect their relationship?"

"It could, but overwhelmingly likely, it won't."

"Nowadays, there's barely any young person who doesn't dislike their elder's outdated ideas."

"You really want to be their best friends, sharing everything without hesitation?"

Mu Leng emphasized: "You have to think this way, either change your mindset or give up your ideas, there's no other choice."

"Each generation has its own fortune."

"I'm not worried this much."

Yan Sangyue: "That's because you're carefree."

"That's how I maintain a youthful mindset!~" Mu Leng chuckled, pretending to be mysterious.

...

Mu Nanshu threw his hands as he left the house, asked: "Did my parents just leave already?"

"Yeah, they just came by to drop some fruit." Lu Cheng replied.

Mu Nanshu shook his head: "Dropping fruit is just an excuse, probably their friends called them up."

"They wanted to come by and ask casually."

Then stated: "But no matter what, I'm always supporting you."

"Though my parents' friends are indeed friends, you can't play with life."

Lu Cheng held his mug, sighed lightly: "I find my current mindset less grounded than it used to be."

"Not sure if it's me overthinking or what."

Mu Nanshu wiped his hands, sat next to Lu Cheng, tossed the crumpled paper into the trash: "Grounded?"

"Previously, for an appendectomy, I'd be very happy."

"I had surgeries to perform, I'd never refuse. Now?"

"Can't go back to how it was." Lu Cheng said.

Mu Nanshu said: "Want to risk it all?"

"You can't even finish Limb Preservation Surgery and Spleen Preservation Surgery, how could you waste time on appendectomies?"

The rationale of Mu Nanshu wasn't wrong.

But that's not solely what Lu Cheng was thinking about.

"So? Back then, many wanted to pursue further studies."

"As teachers and mentors, they could only focus on glimpses according to their perspectives, without the time to fully understand each person."

"In a teacher's eyes, whether you're elevated by family support doesn't matter."
