Gu Qingchen flicked the cigarette butt out of the window, tracing a beautiful arc before it landed silently on the ground and quickly disappeared, carried away by the traffic.
He drove to the hospital, and as soon as he arrived, Yang Junyi approached him: "Doctor Gu, you're back to work, aren't you? We've been incredibly busy while you were away!"
"You've worked hard!" Gu Qingchen patted his shoulder.
Yang Junyi immediately handed him several challenging medical cases: "Here are a few that other departments have requested consultations for; take a look first…"
"Alright!" Gu Qingchen took them and diligently immersed himself in work.
After a morning filled with meetings discussing treatment options for patients, Yang Junyi approached him during lunch break: "Busy all morning, shall we eat together?"
"I have plans today!" Gu Qingchen smiled, "You go ahead and eat!"
