Chapter 204 - 0192: Examination_2

The senior didn’t care, surgeons for the spine abroad are often neurosurgeons, unlike in our country where the majority are orthopedic surgeons. Therefore, Yang Ping is familiar with neurosurgical journals, let alone neurosurgery, he often reads journals of other specialties.

As for the senior’s paper, he had read it himself, and he was very familiar with it, so he gave a serious answer and put forth his own unique insights.

The severity on the elder’s face eased slightly, his eyebrows relaxed. He picked another completely unrelated article that he had recently read. Su Nanchen was upset inside, he had never heard of this journal, it was completely unrelated to orthopedics, who would read these?

Luckily, Yang Ping had also read it, even if he hadn’t, he could still temporarily go to the system library to look up, so no matter how he asked, it wouldn’t faze him, Yang Ping was supremely confident.

After his response, the senior man revealed a smile; this was a top-notch journal that he had read in its entirety. Being diligent and studious, that was very valuable.

“Is Zhang Zongshun still at your hospital?” the old man asked.

Yang Ping replied, “Old Zhang is our specially-appointed orthopedic expert.”

“Last time he fractured his bone, who performed the surgery? I heard the surgery was handled excellently.” The elder knew Professor Zhang from their time studying abroad in Soviet Union. They specialized in different fields, but were friends. Old Zhang had been boasting about this operation back then.

“Grandpa, I was the one who performed that surgery!” Yang Ping had to admit.

Old man’s eyebrows shot upward, and he moved his mouth but didn’t ask anymore, dismissing them with a wave, “You guys go play!”

Zhang Zongshun is known to be extremely particular, his very life was given to him. This young man must have performed the surgery exceptionally well, otherwise, how could the cunning Zhang Zongshun give him the operation? Moreover, he knew about that operation, he started walking immediately the day it was finished, Zhang Zongshun had praised him.

Seeing the old man’s expression, the Su family, including Professor Su, Mrs. Su, and Su Nanchen, all breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn’t embarrass the guest, but this young man, Yang Ping, really does have a broad reading base, even the neurosurgery journals are thoroughly read.

As Yang Ping walked away, the old man turned to the side and said, “Qingyun, this boy is a prodigy! Nurture him well, he will accomplish great things in the future!”

“Brother, is everything okay? What did grandpa want with him?” Xiao Su was a bit nervous.

Sun Nanchen couldn’t help but laugh, “You have just known him for how long, look at how nervous you are. They were just asking some professional questions, to test him!”

To test him? Professional knowledge, then there is no need to worry, Xiao Su was no longer nervous.

“He answered all of them, and answered very well, he passed the test.” Su Nanchen replied.

“Where is he?” Xiao Su asked.

“He went to the restroom.” Su Nanchen said.

“Did you have a good chat?” Su Nanchen asked his little sister.

“Didn’t you instruct me to show him around?” Xiao Su said matter-of-factly.

“Now I’m free, why don’t you go play? I’ll show him around!” Su Nanchen intentionally said.

Xiao Su did not agree: “No need, you’re busy, I will take care of your friend!”

Xiao Su pushed her brother far away and then waved her hand, “Go, you have so many guests to entertain.”

On one side of the hall, the dance floor had been set up and people had already started dancing. Lin Hao saw Xiao Su standing alone and ran over to invite her, “Can we dance?”

“Dance? Sorry, Lin Hao, I sprained my ankle playing basketball a few days ago!” Xiao Su was quite embarrassed.

Xiao Su’s close friend saw the scene and immediately came over to help, “Lin Hao, Xiao Su sprained her ankle. Let’s dance together.”

She pulled Lin Hao away, but not before giving a sign that only they understood.

Yang Ping came out of the restroom. Xiao Su pointed to the dance floor, “Sir, may I have this dance?”

“Dancing? I–” Yang Ping didn’t know how to dance.

Xiao Su pulled him, “It’s okay, I’ll teach you!”

The two went to the dance floor and started dancing. Yang Ping had never danced before, Xiao Su taught him hands-on. Yang Ping proved to be a quick learner, he began to dance rather appropriately after being taught briefly.

“Didn’t she sprain her ankle?” Lin Hao asked.

“Oh, perhaps Dr. Yang treated it for her, maybe it’s better.” Xiao Su’s BFF replied.

After the dance, the two went to eat. Xiao Su picked up a plate, forked a piece of fruit, and fed it to Yang Ping.

Mrs. Su had been watching their situation closely, “See, old Su! Isn’t their progress a bit fast–”

Professor Su looked over and saw Xiao Su feeding fruit to Yang Ping, he only chuckled: “Don’t worry, it’s better faster. Weren’t you always concerned about her personal issues? Now you are satisfied, isn’t it nice that it’s happening quickly?”

Mrs. Su stared at the scene, “But, it’s too fast, she’s even more decisive than her mother!”

“Come, come, let’s dance, stop worrying about them. Rest assured, our girl is not ordinary, she’s our daughter after all!” Professor Su pulled his wife towards the dance floor.

“Come on, let’s go dancing!”

Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe both went with their wives.

“Should we go too?” The old grandfather suggested.

The old grandmother, always smiling kindly, asked, “Is your waist up for it?”

The old man patted his waist: “I’m still up for a dance.”

The old grandfather stood straight, took the old grandmother by the hand, and followed his sons to the dance floor. Everyone applauded as the children and their wives quickly cleared a path. Everyone else stepped aside as well, leaving the dance floor for the silver-haired old couple.

Professor Su quickly asked Nanchen to change the music. Not long after, an old Soviet Union dance tune came on. The old man hesitated for a moment, gracefully extended an invitation, the old woman reached out her hand, and the two of them spun onto the dance floor.

Two ninety-year-olds, moving a bit slowly but as gracefully as possible to the music. Every move, every glance, was on beat, occasionally throwing in some special moves.

Everybody stared in astonishment, clapping nonstop. After all, this was a pair of ninety-year-olds. Some people took out their phones to take pictures and record videos.

“My grandpa is amazing. He once studied in the Soviet Union and can play the accordion. He plays ‘Birch Forest’ exceptionally well. My grandma met him in the Soviet Union.”

“Amazing! Keep going!”

When the dance ended, everyone cheered for more. ‘One more, one more!’

“One more time, the old man is in the mood!”

“Alright, he’s ninety but still a young man.” The old woman always smiled kindly.

“Let’s dance another one, no problem!”

The dance style changed from tango to rumba, cha-cha, effortless, and seamless.

What a wonderful family! Yang Ping, chin resting on her hand, watched the silver-haired couple.

“I can drive you home later?”

“No need, it’s getting late. You’ll have to come back shortly. I’ll take a taxi home by myself.”

“It’s fine, I’ll take you home, and then I’ll go to the dormitory. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

Yang Ping shook her head: “No way! Your parents will think I’ve kidnapped you.”

“Then you drive my car home.”

“Even worse, your car is here now. If it’s gone tomorrow, your parents will be even more suspicious.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll just take a taxi back. It’s no problem. You just enjoy the time with your parents.” Yang Ping said earnestly.

“You’re not mad at me anymore?” Xiao Su asked seriously.

“Why would I be?”

“Really?”

“Really!”

The party ended around nine, and guests started to leave one after another. Yang Ping said goodbye to Su Nanchen’s family, making sure she followed all the necessary formalities.

“Brother Yang–”

“Better call me Younger Brother Yang!”

“Younger Brother Yang, let me see you off.”

“You’re busy, don’t worry about me. You go on with what you were doing.” Yang Ping declined.

Su Nanchen was indeed busy, as a lot of relatives needed his attention and he couldn’t keep up: “Younger Brother Yang, I must insist, please forgive any shortcomings in hospitality.”

“We’re all brothers here, you don’t need to say such things. Go ahead, I’m fine.” Yang Ping pointed over there where someone else was calling for Su Nanchen.

Xiao Su escorted Yang Ping to the door and kept walking with her. She said reluctantly, “Take care of yourself on the way back and call me when you get home.”

“Sure! See you at work the day after tomorrow.”

“You’re leaving now!”

“Yes, remember to call when you get there.”
