Chapter 411: Chapter 204: The Difference Between Practice and Real Combat, Here Comes a Tough One

Besides, her family’s financial situation should be quite good. Buying a double storefront on Old Street of South City isn’t something an average family can afford.

Her family can shell out such a large sum of money, they’re at least middle class.

This puts a bit of pressure on Li Jingsheng.

Since ancient times, there’s been talk of matching family backgrounds.

She might not care about Li Jingsheng’s financial condition, only his character and potential, but that doesn’t mean her parents share her attitude.

The best way is to work hard and earn money, reaching the same economic level as her family, or even surpassing it, which would be even better.

That way, when he and Ou Qinglan reach the point of meeting the parents, there will be much less resistance.

After finishing their egg fried rice, Ou Qinglan seemed quite excited, insisting that Li Jingsheng accompany her wandering around Old Street of South City.

She wanted to try all sorts of snacks she saw. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Came across some nice-looking little accessories and decorations, she bought quite a few of those as well.

This allowed Li Jingsheng to see her childlike innocence still alive.

When sending her back, Li Jingsheng wanted to hail a taxi, but she refused, pulling Li Jingsheng by the hand, asking him to walk with her.

Naturally, he obliged her.

The two strolled down the streets in the night, which felt quite special.

Li Jingsheng could feel their feelings warming up. She already displayed some clear dependence on him.

After he escorted her to her residential complex, as they parted, she gazed at Li Jingsheng with affection.

"Thank you for accompanying me for so long. This has been my happiest day. This little trinket was actually bought for you, don’t be offended."

She stuffed a doll into Li Jingsheng’s hand.

When they were bought, they were a pair, one male and one female.

She handed the female doll to Li Jingsheng.

"From now on, every time you see it, you’ll think of me. Hehe, that’s called ’seeing an object and thinking of the person,’ understand?"

Girls are natural romantics.

Their thoughts, sometimes really are... a bit something.

"According to you, that one represents me?"

"Of course! I’ll write your name on it when I get home!"

She blinked and said seriously.

"Am I really that ugly?"

The doll’s pointy nose, exaggerated Santa Claus expression, Afanti hairstyle, pointed shoes, tailcoat were really too ugly.

"Ha-ha, saying it might be a blow to you. Maybe this doll is just a tad more handsome than you!"

She laughed with a teasing edge.

"Alright! Then write my name on it!"

Li Jingsheng eventually compromised.

"No need to look so deeply hurt, like there’s no reason to go on! Actually, in my eyes, you’re the most handsome man. It’s late, hurry home and get some rest. You’ve worked yourself thinner lately, makes one worry!"

She urged him.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Li Jingsheng waived goodbye.

Actually, every farewell feels quite reluctant.

"Be safe on the way!"

She reminded him from behind.

"It’s fine, I’m ugliness incarnate, pretty secure in safety."

Li Jingsheng shouted back without turning, her bell-like laughter following him.

...

The next day, Li Jingsheng went to work at the second hospital early.

His schedule is now mostly settled: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday are spent in the hospital’s manual reposition outpatient clinic, while Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends are at the clinic.

This schedule was arranged by Director Hua after consulting him, trying to balance hospital interests.

Because Doctor Xu never works on Saturdays and Sundays.

Now that Li Jingsheng learned bone setting, he’s covering Saturdays.

This can minimize the gap days, and then Tuesdays are usually particularly busy, with Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu both seeing patients, even more bone injury patients can be handled.

As for Thursdays, Director Hua has his own considerations.

Wants Li Jingsheng to finish the day shift, then follow orthopedic surgeons to perform two surgeries in the evening.

Today happens to be Thursday, upon arriving at the outpatient clinic, Li Jingsheng discovers a long line of patients waiting outside.

This impressive sight is almost a daily occurrence from Monday to Friday.

The world has too many misfortunes.

Sprains, bone loss injuries from lifting heavy objects or doing ordinary actions leading to fractures, falls, car accidents, assault injuries... some bone injury patients’ circumstances are beyond imagining.

Some even fracture a bone just by sneezing.

The reputation of the manual bone setting at the second hospital has spread widely, not only attracting local bone injury patients, but also drawing a certain siphoning effect. Patients from neighboring provinces are also coming to seek treatment.

The reason is simple, the non-surgical treatment can cure them, causing less suffering, costing less money, shorter hospital stays, and recovery is no worse than surgical treatment.

Sometimes the results of manual bone setting are even better.

With such advantages for patients, they naturally are willing to travel miles to seek treatment.

"Dr. Li, we’ve been waiting for you! Patients have urged me more than twenty times, always asking, ’Are the manual bone setting doctors here yet?’"

Li Li’s hair today is a bit loose, and she exudes a lazy feminine charm.

Her complexion is rosy, full of energy.

Li Jingsheng, as someone who’s been there, can tell at a glance that this nurse was surely quite happy last night.

She used to be single, so quickly she was taken.

Could it be that she’s really gotten together with that delivery boy from last time?

Of course, Li Jingsheng wouldn’t pry into others’ personal matters.

"Call the number!"

After Li Jingsheng arrived, both Li Li and Dr. Chen felt reassured.

"Dr. Li, I wish I could learn a thing or two from you. Do you know what those patients and their families said? They pointed at me and said, ’Isn’t he a doctor? Why can’t he set bones?’"
