The Strongest Doctor
Chapter 22 - 22 24 Emergency Rescue

22: Chapter 24: Emergency Rescue 22: Chapter 24: Emergency Rescue Li Xiaoqiang had not anticipated that Su Xiaoya’s past experience was so tragic; his heart, too, felt some pain.

Thinking of Su Xiaoya’s past, Li Xiaoqiang dared not make sudden promises to her, as for him, promises made to a woman best be kept.

The current Su Xiaoya was extremely fragile, and Li Xiaoqiang feared that he might inadvertently hurt her.

Although he wasn’t much of a good bird, he considered himself responsible and accountable.

Li Xiaoqiang stared as he hugged Su Xiaoya and said, “Xiaoya, to be honest, I was shocked when you said this to me.

You have so many suitors, yet you chose me.”

“I’m afraid of disappointing you, not that I lack confidence, but because reality often falls short of expectations; you should understand me.”

Su Xiaoya nodded slightly, “I understand, I have just one request; if you ever do me wrong, please don’t let me find out.”

Li Xiaoqiang had not expected Su Xiaoya to hold such an attitude towards relationships; if he, Li Xiaoqiang, was not resolute enough, then he would be less of a man!

Li Xiaoqiang hugged Su Xiaoya tightly.

“Alright, I promise you!”

Subsequently, the two of them hand-in-hand returned to school.

Upon entering the dormitory, SD doll Chen Jianguo was reading while Lu Erlen had a tape measure around his neck, crafting patterns with kraft paper.

Only Chen Zhilin was wearing earplugs, cradling a cup of tea, leaning back in his chair, enjoying an American art film.

The dormitory companions were all very considerate.

If someone was studying or sleeping, they took extra care in whatever they did, using earplugs for watching movies or playing games, unlike other dorms which only catered to their own enjoyment without considering their roommates.

On seeing Li Xiaoqiang enter the dormitory, Chen Zhilin quickly pulled him over to his own spot, hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and whispered, “Buddy, you finally came back.

I’ve been lonely too.

Look, these two beasts are just studying, and I have no one to discuss with.”

Li Xiaoqiang was somewhat speechless: “You are a rich man’s son, who dares compete with you!”

Chen Zhilin hurriedly lit a cigarette for Li Xiaoqiang, flattering him, “Boss, don’t belittle me now, have some smoke, drink some tea, I’m at your service.”

Thus, the two of them huddled together, each wearing one earphone, began to appreciate the art film.

Over the next two days, Li Xiaoqiang was busy preparing graduation-related materials, also went to see Liang Yunyun for medical care, and called Su Xiaoya whenever he had free time; time seemed to fly by quickly.

Li Xiaoqiang booked a train ticket online, planning to return to Gancha Town, to see his grandfather.

The train Li Xiaoqiang was taking left at eight in the evening.

He arrived at the station at half-past seven.

His hometown was nearly twenty hours from Jinnan City.

The time spent on the train was extremely taxing.

Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by some middle-aged men and women, as well as several young men and women, who seemed to be on holiday during the National Day period.

Li Xiaoqiang was just feeling sleepy when—

The train’s loudspeaker blared: “Excuse me, dear passengers, I am the train conductor.

One of our crew members has suddenly fallen ill and needs urgent treatment.

If there is any doctor on board, please hurry to carriage six.

Thank you.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoqiang immediately stood up and rushed to carriage six.

As a patient was involved, Li Xiaoqiang felt compelled to go; this was the ideology instilled in him by his grandfather.

Being a doctor is the most sacred and solemn profession.

Regardless of a patient’s status, wealth, or illness, a doctor must render aid as it is an inherent duty of the profession.

Li Xiaoqiang had just reached carriage six when he saw a middle-aged woman in a police uniform lying on the berth, her face pale and sweaty.

The conductor, a middle-aged man, seeing Li Xiaoqiang rush over, asked in confusion, “Who are you?”

Li Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, “I am a doctor!”

Li Xiaoqiang approached the middle-aged woman and after observing her for a dozen seconds, he sighed with relief.

It wasn’t a serious illness, just a cold causing heat retention.

Li Xiaoqiang took out the acupuncture kit he carried, and after a few minutes, the middle-aged woman’s condition finally improved.

The conductor breathed a sigh of relief and could not stop thanking Li Xiaoqiang.

The middle-aged woman sat up, tears of gratitude streaming down her face, and peeled some fruits she had to offer Li Xiaoqiang.

She smiled, saying, “Doctor, thank you so much.”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled and shook his head, “Big sister, don’t mention it.

Treating patients is our sacred duty as doctors.”

As they chatted, Li Xiaoqiang attentively observed the middle-aged woman; she was quite attractive.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoqiang thought something was amiss.

This woman named Yang Xue had a penetrating gaze as she looked at him and laughed, “You see, being a medical student makes a difference.

Handsome, tall, if I were younger, I’d definitely pursue you.”

Embarrassed, Li Xiaoqiang habitually scratched his head, “Ah, Yang Xue, please don’t make fun of me.”

Yang Xue looked at Li Xiaoqiang for a while and then laughed, “Can I have your phone?”

“Why do you need my phone?” Li Xiaoqiang asked, puzzled.

Yang Xue suddenly smiled coquettishly, “Of course, to save your number.

You saved my life; after getting off the train, I must thank you properly.”

Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to hand his phone to Yang Xue.

After saving the number, Yang Xue chuckled softly, “Young man, don’t be shy when talking with me.

Alright, I have to go back to work now.

When we get off, I’ll boil a pot of meat soup to thank you, young man.”

After saying this, Yang Xue left, and Li Xiaoqiang returned to his seat.

After sitting for five more hours, the train finally arrived at the terminal station.

Concerned that Yang Xue might actually become fixated on him, Li Xiaoqiang figured he’d better get off quickly.

However, as soon as Li Xiaoqiang stepped off the train, Yang Xue was already standing outside.

She smiled coyly, “I said I’d treat you to soup, and I meant it.

Come on, let’s go to my place.”
