Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (43)

　Four years later, Xia Lin successfully completed the study of basic clinical knowledge and entered the internship stage in the second semester of his senior year.16

　　According to the academic schedule, he attends regular classes at the college every morning and goes to the affiliated hospital for internship in the afternoon.

　　The trainee mentor he is currently rotating is named Ke Mei. He is a neurosurgeon. He looks to be in his mid-twenties, handsome, elegant, and gentle.4

　　Ke Mei cared for Xia Lin very much, and she didn’t hide anything she had to teach him. She answered almost every question she had.

　　He found that Xia Lin was very interested in brain tumors, so he asked him: “Do you plan to go to graduate school to specialize in oncology in the future?”3

　　”I have this idea,” Xia Lin nodded, “but our subject tutor offered me two options, one is oncology and the other is neurosurgery. Teacher Ke, what do you think?”

　　Ke Mei pondered for a moment and said: “The oncology department currently focuses on conservative treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As for neurosurgery, surgery is the mainstay. The two complement each other, and more often they need to cooperate with each other for treatment—— The specific choice depends on you, I can only provide reference opinions.”

　　Xia Lin thought that he had to be cautious about this matter. Although he had no problems with his annual physical examination over the years, it did not mean that there would be no problems in the future. There were many cases of tumors breaking out and getting worse rapidly within one or two years. Which major he chooses to specialize in will be related to how he can find ways to save himself in a timely and effective manner in the future.6

　　But it takes five years to study for an undergraduate degree in medical school, and there is still one year left before graduate school, so there is no need for him to rush. Thinking of this, Xia Lin smiled at Ke Mei and said, “Then I’ll think about it carefully when I go back.”

　　Ke Mei nodded: “It’s almost time to get off work. There are not many patients today. It’s rare for me to get off work on time. How about I treat you to dinner?”

　　”No need,” Xia Lin waved his hand, “I have to catch up on my course papers when I go back, so I can just eat something in the cafeteria.”

　　Ke Mei looked at him helplessly: “I invited you five times, but you never agreed once.”1

　　Xia Lin just smiled: “When this internship is over in a few days, I’ll treat you to dinner, okay?”

　　Ke Mei no longer forced, stretched out her index finger and gently tapped the tip of Xia Lin’s nose: “Then it’s settled.”10

　　This action was a bit too intimate, but Ke Mei would only do these small actions to him when the two of them were alone.

　　Xia Lin felt that Ke Mei might be interested in him, but this interest was vague and unpredictable.

　　In fact, Ke Mei was quite a mentor in the beginning, and he was very polite to Xia Lin, just like he was to other trainees in the same period, no different.

　　But ever since Xia Lin accidentally bumped into Ke Mei going into the newly opened Gay bar “Midnight Flight”, Ke Mei completely let herself go in front of Xia Lin – without concealing her sexual orientation and without any restraint. My own teasing of Xia Lin.5

　　Xia Lin actually doesn’t hate Ke Mei. In a sense, Ke Mei has many qualities that attract him, but it’s not the attraction between lovers.

　　Xia Lin hopes that he can become an excellent doctor like Ke Mei in the future. No matter how difficult the patient is, he can be calm and calm in the face of danger.

　　Therefore, Xia Lin respected Ke Mei and cherished such a teacher-student relationship. Since Ke Mei kept the bottom line and only flirted with him, he would just accommodate him appropriately.

　　The two walked to the door of the hospital together, said “goodbye” to each other, and then parted ways.

　　There is only a wall between the medical school and the affiliated hospital. It takes ten minutes to walk back to the dormitory, so Xia Lin didn’t even bother to ride a car and just walked there and back.

　　At this time, he was about to go in the direction of the college when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him uncertainly: “Xia…Xia Lin?”

　　He looked back and was slightly startled – it was Yu Luotong who he had not seen again for more than four years.4

　　After four years of not seeing each other, Yu Luotong was half a head taller than when he was in high school. After his facial features opened up, his face was brighter and more beautiful than before.2

　　”I didn’t expect it was really you!” Yu Luotong ran over excitedly, “I was confused before. We obviously went to the same university, but we didn’t even meet once after graduation. I didn’t expect it. I met you today!”

　　Xia Lin didn’t expect that Yu Luotong’s attitude would become so enthusiastic when he saw him again.

　　After being rejected by him in high school, Yu Luotong, who always looked awkward every time he saw him, has completely disappeared.
