Chapter 279 - Blissful Little Rock (1/2)
Zhang Fan swiftly took a hot shower. Although the operating rooms were eternally kept at a set comfortable temperature, standing up for so long and the tense surgical operation had still naturally caused him to sweat.
The operating rooms’ showers were rather high-class. Back when former Superintendent Huang was renovating the operating rooms, he paid for massaging shower heads from Hong Kong. This counted as a benefit of working as a surgeon for Chasu City Hospital—former Superintendent Huang had been a surgeon himself and favored the surgical departments. Back when the massaging shower heads were first installed, the internal medicine doctors had been really envious!
Right when Zhang Fan exited the hospital, he just happened to spot Shao Hua getting out of a taxi.
“You even came to pick me up! Why didn’t you just go to sleep earlier? You were probably quite busy yourself today.” Zhang Fan patted Shao Hua’s face in pity.
“Why would I be tired? If I get tired from studying, I can always take a walk to refresh myself. You must be exhausted today, working on a surgery for so long. Let’s go home. I’ll even give you a massage,” Shao Hua said flirtatiously.
“Haha, okay! But, let’s walk back home instead of taking the taxi. I’ve been standing for the whole day. My legs still feel numb. My knees won’t be able to take it if I don’t walk a little!” Zhang Fan and Shao Hua thus walked together down the streets in this beginning of spring.
The beginning of spring would usually be quite pleasant in Chasu City. A gentle warm breeze would usually blow, while green leaves were beginning to wave in the wind!
Everything would feel like heaven as long as there was love. As they walked, Shao Hua leaned right into Zhang Fan, who felt so much bliss as he inhaled Shao Hua’s faint fragrance. His bliss was like a fountain that kept flowing. People who were still single would never be able to understand this feeling of love.
Early spring was normally when vegetation would return to life, but in northwestern China and northern China around Beijing, the sandstorms could be quite vicious. If you happened to sneeze during a sandstorm, you would find that you would no longer be able to close your mouth, because your mouth would become filled with sand and dirt! Luckily, Chasu City was one of the few places in northwestern China that didn’t experience sandstorms, truly making it an oasis.
There were trees which were hundreds of years old that lined the roads of Chasu City. These trees had been nourished by blood! They blocked wind and rain for Chasu City’s sake! People who had never visited the border province wouldn’t know just how large China was, and people who had never visited Chasu City would never know how beautiful the border province was.
The Russians had managed to claim the majority of this area filled with rivers and valleys. Otherwise, this entire land would’ve belonged to China. This was the only place in northwest China which had four distinct seasons and nice weather. Such a pity!
“Little Rock!” Shao Hua leaned into Zhang Fan’s embrace as she addressed him by his mother’s nickname for him. Her tone was sweet, really sweet. Zhang Fan grabbed Shao Hua’s hand and kissed her face.
“You’re getting naughtier and naughtier!”
Shao Hua then laughed loudly because Zhang Fan tickled her!
The two of them chased each other and messed around for a little while. Zhang Fan felt his fatigue being erased by his joyful emotions!
“Little Rock, let’s stop messing around now. I can’t run anymore! Please spare me, I’m begging you!” Shao Hua grabbed Zhang Fan and kissed him on the lips.
“Alright, I’ll be magnanimous enough to spare you!” Zhang Fan and Shao Hua continued to slowly walk down the street while tightly hanging on to each other.
They had a safe and peaceful environment to live in. It didn’t seem like this was the border province or China’s border at all. This was all thanks to China’s power. Truly, one wouldn’t realize how powerful China was unless you came to visit China’s border.
“Little Rock, the singer Daolang is coming. He’s going to hold a concert in Chasu City next week,” Shao Hua told Zhang Fan.
“Oh! Do you want to go to his concert? Go ahead. What day is the concert? I’ll go with you if I’m not working that day. If I’m working, then you should go with Jia Suyue,” Zhang Fan said.
“Sigh! I’m actually not that fond of his songs. Only older women like him! For instance, my mother. She didn’t even know what concerts were before this. However, the older women in the neighborhood were all talking about going, so my mother mentioned it last night at dinner. I want to have my parents go listen to Daolang’s concert.”
“Sure! Let’s buy tickets for them, then,” Zhang Fan remarked.
“There’s no more tickets! It’s only been three days since the concert was announced, but all the tickets are gone already,” Shao Hua said somewhat regretfully.
“Wow, he’s really popular!”
