During summer break at Dongyang Medical University,
the newly appointed principal, Qin Xiaoyuan, wasn't too busy either.
Sitting in the office of the director of the Second Provincial Hospital, Old Qin brewed a pot of excellent civet coffee for his old rival, Tan Liguo, and handed him an unnamed American cigarette.
The two just sat in the office like that.
After being competitors for several years, as it was time to leave, they found themselves cherishing each other somewhat.
Qin Xiaoyuan even took out the civet coffee that Ji Ruyun had treasured.
Qin Xiaoyuan usually smoked too, but not often, mostly during outpatient consultations when seeing over a hundred patients in a morning. Between patients, he'd nip to the restroom and have a quick puff to relieve fatigue and boost his energy.
In today's office, the two were surrounded by smoke, sipping coffee and chatting.
Tan Liguo glanced at Qin Xiaoyuan: "This coffee is really good."
