Dressed flamboyantly like she was getting ready to pick up clients, Jiang Xiaoman was just fifty meters away. Even from this distance, Nan Wan seemed to feel the murderous look in her eyes.
Nan Wan didn't care, just pretended not to see her. After getting in the taxi, she gave the hospital's address and closed her eyes to rest.
This past half year has been like a dream. Just like yesterday, it's time to wake up.
It seems winter is truly coming...

The way to the department was quite the spectacle for Nan Wan. Never had so many people's gazes fallen on her simultaneously, watching her walk.
"She still has the guts to come, really shameless!"
"I don't even know what sin Mr. Lu committed in his past life. After finally achieving some success, he gets cheated on."
"She's pretty and well-connected, we just can't compete."
"Exactly, even with such a chaotic personal life, no one dares to fire her. Like we're any match for her."
...
After closing the office door, those voices were shut out, leaving the room in peace.
Qin Zhenzhen put the coffee she had in her hand on the desk, "Doctor Nan, don't listen to those gossipy women. You're not that kind of person."
Those people started wagging their tongues just yesterday, each voice louder than the last, as if afraid others wouldn't hear them.
While changing into her white coat, Nan Wan asked with a smile, "How do you know I'm not?"
Do young interns nowadays all know how to flatter their supervisors like this?
"I... I..." Qin Zhenzhen stammered for quite a while before just biting the bullet and playing dumb, "Anyway... I just know you're not."
Although she only worked under Doctor Nan for a little over a month and didn't know her thoroughly, she was quite certain Doctor Nan wasn't like what they said.
All along, Doctor Nan dressed simply and freshly. Her features were exquisite, but it wasn't a showy beauty. It gave people a feeling of a gentle breeze. When working seriously, she was incredibly gentle.
She'd seen Doctor Nan squatting by the trash feeding stray cats, and seen her alone in the dark shedding tears after a patient couldn't be saved.
How could someone like that be what those entertainment rumors described?
Yesterday's outfit did surprise her, but she had to admit, it was stunning.
Nan Wan sat in the soft chair, holding a mouse in one hand and picking up the steaming coffee with the other, sipping it to her lips, "Have you finished reading the cases?"
She used to be somewhat immune to the smell of disinfectant, but today the scent was particularly strong. Was it because she was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol yesterday?
This young girl was quite interesting, also a promising medical student. With more practice, she might achieve greatness in the future.
The topic changed too quickly, leaving Qin Zhenzhen a bit bewildered, but she quickly responded, "I've finished reading them."
Nan Wan nodded, leaned back in the chair, and pressed her fingers on her temples, "You'll assist in this afternoon's surgery."
