System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Lu Cheng noticed that Chen Song’s chin was tilted about seven or eight degrees lower than usual today, and he said, ”Oh, I see. I knew Xiao Shu couldn’t keep a secret.”

”She shouldn’t have been told in the first place.”

In the doctor’s office, Chen Song and Lu Cheng sat facing each other, Chen Song said in a faint tone, ”So what Xiao Mu said was true.”

”Did you really mistreat her? Used her and then discarded her?”

Lu Cheng tightened his brow, studying Chen Song closely, wondering if it was Tong Yuan’an in disguise.

But upon considering Tong Yuan’an’s physique, he realized there was no way he could have donned Chen Song’s mask so quickly: ”Teacher Chen, what do you mean by that?”

”What do I mean? When you need me, you call me Teacher Chen. I presume in private you just call me Chen Song, right?”

Chen Song said, ”We were discussing things well before; how could you suddenly hand over the good stuff to someone else?”

”But fortunately, the deal didn’t fall through. Otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing, right?”

Chen Song’s expression was amiable, his tone was amiable, and even his movements were amiable, as he looked intently at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng said, ”Teacher Chen, don’t say that. I mainly wanted to get early access to the new surgical technique. Your process on this side is running a bit slow.”

”I thought that teacher could help me speed up the authorization process!”

Chen Song’s expression was briefly stiff, but he quickly regained composure and then said, ”It’s our issue. Lu Cheng, let me tell you something from the heart.”

”Do you admit that each of us is an individual and won’t easily regard others as the core of our viewpoint?”

”Including myself.” Chen Song’s tone gradually became more formal.

”At first, when I saw you, I just thought you were quite excellent, with solid basic skills, a promising talent. At that time, five percent of my attention was on you, and the other ninety-five percent was on my own matters.”

”Later, as your progression sped up, my attention on you probably increased from five percent to about eight percent.”

”More attention, around fifteen percent, when you attended the advanced workshop in Han City and brought back an original technique on your own.”

Lu Cheng listened to Chen Song elegantly talking about judging people by their value and didn’t refute it, only saying, ”Yes, Teacher Chen, all of this is only human nature, and I’m the same as well.”

Chen Song said, ”Then later, you took up thirty percent of my view, surpassing my child and my wife at one point!~”

”After October, my view of you had reached forty-five percent, nearly half and half with myself.”

”But it can’t go any higher. If it did, I would lose myself.”

Chen Song seemed to be giving a metaphor to Lu Cheng, but actually, he was soothing and explaining to Lu Cheng the ’reason’ for his setback in finding someone to rely on!

Lu Cheng raised his head slightly, thought seriously for a moment, then had an epiphany: ”Teacher Chen, I understand.”

”The world bustles about for profit; the world hustles and bustles for gain.”

Chen Song said, ”There’s nothing wrong with that. If one cannot become a beneficiary, sees no future, and has no positive feedback, no one will engage.”

”Even those with a pure heart also need their own positive feedback, including but not limited to psychological comfort.”

”We all have our own matters, so we can’t just revolve around you. It’s impossible, at least for now.”

”The only people who can do that for you at the moment are your parents.”

”Well, maybe there’s one more person.”

Lu Cheng said he and Mu Nanshu had a good relationship, being childhood sweethearts, but that was just Lu Cheng talking.

Chen Song preferred to see what he saw!

Except that Chen Song never had such a childhood sweetheart, and he didn’t know the nature of their relationship or how they interacted, nor each one’s place in the other’s heart; it was all a guess before.

But after more than half a year of interaction, Chen Song could barely grasp how genuine their relationship was.

Since returning from Han City, Mu Nanshu had been following Lu Cheng around, hardly staying at her original position.

Bear in mind, that’s Union Hospital. Could Mu Nanshu come and go just like that? But she didn’t hesitate much either.

”We just can’t do that, our situation is different from hers because we also have our own careers and families, and we must take care of our careers, families, I also have my own child.” Chen Song’s speech was also a candid opening of his heart.

”Even a real teacher couldn’t do that. It’s an unchangeable objective fact.”

Human beings are currently numerous small nuclei centered around families. Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu can form a family, but could Lu Cheng do that with Chen Song?

Wouldn’t that be overly sentimental?

True feelings don’t necessarily reciprocate true feelings, but only true feelings can exchange for true feelings. Lu Cheng also understood Chen Song’s meaning: ”Teacher Chen, I understand what you mean!~”

”And I am realistic. Now that I haven’t found a shortcut to allegiance, I am willing to continue working with you.”

”Just as your situation differs, to me, you are also the same. I hope to break certain barriers with greater speed.”

”Of course, my encounters in reality have made me realize that it’s just wishful thinking.”

”My current accumulation isn’t enough to break through. A certain level of network relations, after delving into the true professional field, can only make things more convenient, not enough to break through barriers.”

”So I can only comply with and participate in the rules, and then attempt to break through them positively.”

Lu Cheng wasn’t holding back; he laid out all his thoughts.
