Chapter 825: Chapter 827 Intentional Matchmaking

Ever since he came, things haven’t gone smoothly for me at the hospital. Zhou Yu once lamented upon being defeated by Zhuge Liang and dying of grief: "Since there is Zhou Yu, why must there be Zhuge Liang?" Sun Xingyao now thinks the same way; since the hospital already has someone like him, why bring in Xiao Yifei?

Two tigers cannot live on one mountain. Between the two of us, only one person can ultimately stay at this hospital, and that person has to be me. Sun Xingyao gets angry every time he sees Xiao Yifei.

Once the food was served, no one picked up their chopsticks. Some were chatting idly, others sipping water from their cups, but truthfully, they were all waiting for the director to eat first. It’s a tradition at the table that only after the elder or the person in charge starts eating do others follow.

The director was busy chatting with a doctor on his left and hadn’t noticed that the food was already served. Everyone was waiting for him to take the first bite. Xiao Yifei had to say, "Director, hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will get cold."

The director said, "Come on, everyone eat together, don’t wait for me. Didn’t I say, just be casual, as you normally are?" Saying this, he picked a piece of duck close by and put it in his mouth first.

Everyone saw the director start eating and quickly grabbed their chopsticks, devouring the food. After a tiring afternoon, everyone was already hungry, not caring about appearances anymore.

The director wasn’t hungry and occasionally took a few bites to show face. At night, he usually doesn’t eat greasy foods, as they’re hard to digest. Generally, at night he just has some millet porridge or pumpkin porridge. As a doctor, he’s quite attentive to his health.

As they finished eating, the conversation sparked up, many topics revolving around Xiao Yifei: "Xiao Yifei, you’re really something. Been at this hospital for only a few days and you’re already famous throughout the province—a real young talent!"

"Yeah, to have the ability to host a medical program, and at the end of the year, be rated as the hospital’s outstanding talent. It’s unlike me; I’ve been at this hospital for nearly fifteen years and am still just an ordinary doctor." Xiao Yifei could hear the envy and jealousy from their words.

Listening to the praise, Xiao Yifei didn’t know how many were sincere because among those praising him were people who were gossiping behind his back earlier that morning. He felt people were hypocritical; if you don’t like someone, why act two-faced?

Since everyone was just pretending anyway, Xiao Yifei replied with a smile that couldn’t be more sincere, "I was just lucky; achieving such good results still relies on everyone’s help and support."

The dinner finally ended, and those who wanted to go home did, while some young people had arranged to go singing and also left. In the end, only Sun Xingyao, the director, and Xiao Yifei were left.

The director said, "Director Sun, you should head home too; if it gets any later, your family might worry."

Sun Xingyao didn’t bother to decline because he knew soon enough his wife’s call would come through, so he took his leave.

Now only Xiao Yifei and the director were left. Xiao Yifei said, "Director, I’ll give you a ride home first, and then take a cab."

Driving the director’s car, Xiao Yifei saw a roadside vendor selling roasted chestnuts and stopped to buy a few pounds. The director said to Xiao Yifei, "My daughter has loved chestnuts since she was little, so whenever I see them, I buy some to take home. These are quite sweet."

Listening to this, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt a bit down. He thought of his own grandfather; as a child, he loved candied hawthorn, so his grandfather would take a long detour after work every day just to buy him one.

Family love is probably the most genuine emotion in the world; a father’s love for his daughter, a grandfather’s love for his grandson, is probably all the same, always quietly doing everything for you.

Xiao Yifei dropped the director off downstairs, and the director said, "We’re at the doorstep; come up for a bit. You can drive my car home later."

The director said so, and Xiao Yifei felt it impolite to decline, so he followed the director upstairs. He guessed that the director wanted him to meet his daughter; since Xiao Yifei had started at the hospital, the director had been trying to matchmake them, but up until now, due to various reasons, they hadn’t even met.

Actually, Xiao Yifei didn’t want to meet her. He already had someone he liked, and even without that, he didn’t want to know the director’s daughter. He didn’t want to get involved with the director’s family, although the director is a very good person and has treated him kindly, it felt somehow awkward.

Going upstairs, the house was simply decorated, showing a style from the last century. The whole place felt very warm, just like returning to his parent’s home. A sense of home warmth.

The director placed the chestnuts on the table and asked his wife, "Where’s our daughter? Why hasn’t she come back yet? I bought chestnuts for her; if they sit awhile, they won’t taste good."

"She went out to dinner with her girlfriends this evening and probably won’t be back until very late," Mrs. Qian replied.

Mrs. Qian appeared much younger than the director, well-maintained, her every move showing the grace of a well-bred woman. Before the liberation, she was likely the child of a wealthy family; somehow Xiao Yifei recalled his grandmother gave him the same feeling.

In his memory, his grandmother always kept herself tidy, with silver hair neatly combed back and held by clips; even at home, she always sat gracefully on the couch watching TV. Xiao Yifei doesn’t remember ever hearing his grandmother speak loudly. As a child, Xiao Yifei was very naughty, rolling on the ground, climbing trees to pick fruit, catching tadpoles in the river.

In the morning, after changing into clean clothes, by the evening, when home, it was hard to tell the color of the clothes. Even then, his grandmother never got angry or spoke loudly. She patiently changed his dirty clothes and soaked them in a basin, waiting for the next day’s hot weather to wash them.

This happened when Xiao Yifei was very young, about three or four years old, but he still remembers it clearly.

Because at six when he started elementary school, his parents took him to their home, and his mom set strict rules, like having to return home immediately after school each night.

One holiday, Xiao Yifei recalled running out to play all day until dark before coming home, unsurprisingly covered in mud. His mom was very angry, feeling that Xiao Yifei was like a wild child.

She couldn’t stand letting such a messy Xiao Yifei into her home, so right at the door, she stripped him of all his clothes and threw them in the trash before allowing him in. After that, he dared not do that again, missing life at his grandparents’ home and yearning for his grandfather and grandmother.

Unfortunately, his grandmother left for another world when Xiao Yifei was eight. He never got another chance to see her. Every time Xiao Yifei saw elderly people, he felt a bond, thinking they had a likeness to his grandfather and grandmother.

Looking at Mrs. Qian in front of him, Xiao Yifei felt like he was seeing his grandmother, and Mrs. Qian felt inexplicably warm towards the young man.
