My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

He was explaining to his wife.

Zhou Can looked outside following the sound.

He saw a gentle-looking woman sitting in a wheelchair.

Li Lao was pushing the wheelchair, looking at the woman with a face full of tender affection.

It turned out his wife had a physical illness and couldn't walk normally. She needed the wheelchair to get around.

No wonder he had heard his wife's voice and immediately ran out.

Seeing how anxious he was about his wife suggested they must share a deep bond.

Zhou Can had never been in love and was naive, curious, and full of longing for love. He had seen the 'beautiful' side of love in the hospital, where a twenty-three-year-old boy kept vigil at the bedside of his severely burned girlfriend.

The girl's family was very poor, and so was the boy.

Then, a charity platform and the media launched a fundraising campaign for the girl, successfully raising a significant amount of money. Even if it wasn't enough for later cosmetic surgery, it was at least enough for the initial treatment.

Zhou Can often saw that boy guarding the girl's bedside.

When interviewed by media reporters, the boy confidently said he would treat the girl well and marry her once she was discharged.

Then, one morning during rounds, Zhou Can found the girl crying in bed.

After asking several nurses on duty, he learned that the boy had run off with the money. The phone was now disconnected, and he could no longer be reached.

That incident left a deep psychological shadow on Zhou Can.

He became very wary of love.

He feared meeting a female con artist who would deceive him of money and affection.

At this moment, seeing Mr. Li's affectionate relationship with his wife, he seemed to believe again in the beauty of love.

"Qiu Jie, today we have invited Dr. Zhou to have dinner at our place. We haven't started eating yet. Just now you and your husband were also having a good chat with Dr. Zhou. If you don't mind, you could join us for a simple meal. With two more people, it'll be livelier."

Mr. Cui's wife warmly extended the invitation to Mr. Li and his wife.

"This... that might not be very appropriate!" Qiu Jie, sitting in the wheelchair, glanced into the room and her eyes landed on Zhou Can.

"It's no trouble at all. Old Cui and I often drop by your place for food and drinks, don't we? If you refuse, that would make things awkward!" Since Mr. Cui's wife said so,

The Li couple didn't hesitate any further.

"Mrs. Li, hello!"

Zhou Can took the initiative to greet her.

"Anyone that Brother Cui invites to his home for a meal must be remarkable. My husband rarely compliments anyone. I believe Dr. Zhou must be a very special, outstanding young man."

She smiled and shook hands with Zhou Can, lavishing praise on him.

However, when Zhou Can shook her hand, he found it somewhat cold.

This indicated poor blood circulation in her upper limbs.

Her legs had not been amputated.

What disease could she be suffering from?

Being their first meeting, Zhou Can naturally wouldn't ask some inappropriate questions.

He was just curiously guessing the cause and condition of her illness out of a doctor's instinct.

"Mrs. Li, you flatter me! But the love between you and Mr. Li is particularly enviable! It lets me see what beautiful love looks like."

"Giggle! From what Dr. Zhou says, I guess you've never been in love." She laughed and then sighed softly. "Sometimes, love may seem beautiful, yet it can bring pressure and burdens to the other person. If I hadn't fallen ill, Li Lao wouldn't have given up all his work to come home and care for me."

"Wife, why bring this up again? Giving up all my work to be by your side, I feel secure and comfortable. Compared to you, my career means nothing."

Li Lao took his wife's hand, with a slight reproach but also with a look of heartache.

"But… with your talent, if it weren't for staying by my side, I believe you would already be the president of Tianyu Interactive. Every time I see you sitting quietly by the window, I know you must be thinking about your career."

She didn't shy away from speaking her mind in front of others.

Indeed, these matters should be secrets between husband and wife.

But now, talking about it in front of Mr. and Mrs. Cui and Zhou Can showed that she preferred to be forthright and sincere in front of friends.

She wasn't one to play any schemes.

"No matter what you say, I've made up my mind to stay by your side for life, until we are old." He refused to discuss the matter any further.

His attitude was also exceptionally firm.

Zhou Can keenly detected a trace of guilt towards his wife in his tone and eyes.

There must have been some stories between them as a couple.

Li Lao could have potentially become the president of Tianyu Interactive, which finally made Zhou Can understand why Mr. Cui and his wife valued Li Lao's opinion so highly.

Tianyu Interactive seems to be one of the top entertainment companies in the industry.

Many stars and singers are signed under Tianyu Interactive.

In the entertainment circle, the company is absolutely a benchmark.

"Hehe, you two, showing off your affection in front of so many people, you're really trying to make us feel jealous! The food is almost ready, please everyone, take a seat!"

Mr. Cui's wife deftly defused the tension between the two with a laugh.

"That's right, let's eat first! I was so wrapped up in discussing the living room decor that I was neglecting our guests, how rude of me!"

Mr. Cui also welcomed the guests along with his wife.

The dining room is very spacious, and it can comfortably accommodate twenty people for a meal.

The floor-to-ceiling curtains along the wall are drawn open, allowing a full view of the beautiful garden outside. Lawns, pebble-strewn pathways, and a variety of trees and plants adorn the surroundings.

They even put in a rockery with flowing water and a fish pond to create a high mountain stream ambiance.

Mr. Cui and his wife have really high standards when it comes to quality of life.

On another side of the dining room, there is a wine cabinet and a large beverage refrigerator.

The wine cabinet's compartments are filled with a variety of red and white wines.

Some compartments might be empty because the bottles were drunk and not yet replenished.

"What kind of drink does Dr. Zhou like? You are my honored guest and lifesaver, I must take out the best wine from my cellar to entertain you." Many wealthy people build wine cellars on the underground level of their villas, specifically to store a variety of fine wines.

Mr. Cui's wine cellar must indeed be rich in collections.

"I'm not picky, and I don't know much about wine! The fact that Brother Cui and his wife personally prepared such a meal to treat me, that's the greatest sincerity. Those fine wines of yours should be left for guests who appreciate them. Don't waste such treasures!"

Zhou Can's words brought smiles to the faces of the others.

"Then let's just have a bottle of aged red wine to liven things up."

He got up, went to the wine cabinet, took the top shelf's bottle of red wine, and opened it with a corkscrew, pouring half a glass for everyone.

"Here's to us being able to gather, cheers!" As the host, Mr. Cui was the first to raise his glass in toast.

"Fate has brought us together around the same table; life is so wonderful. May our friendship be like this wine, getting better with time."

Li Lao, who is in the arts, spoke impressively and poetically.

"To meet and share a drink at the same table among billions of people is my fortune."

Zhou Can was just as adept with words.

"Cheers!"

The two ladies were more succinct, simply echoing the toast.

The five toasted together, then while enjoying the delicious offerings on the table, they began various casual conversations.

Mr. Cui, his wife Yin Qin, and Li Lao were all very knowledgeable.

They talked about many things that gave Zhou Can fresh insights.

Especially conversing with Li Lao, it felt as if he had opened a window to a different world. Their chat was particularly harmonious, with a sense that kindred spirits were appreciating each other's company.

Li Lao's wife was relatively quiet, only occasionally adding a comment or joining in with laughter.

Perhaps due to her disability that confined her to a wheelchair, she might be under a great deal of internal pressure.

It felt like her spirit was not cheerful, lacking happiness.

Zhou Can seemed to understand why Li Lao wanted to stay by his wife's side.

When a person's mood is very low, they are prone to doing foolish things.

As they raised their glasses, Zhou Can inadvertently caught sight of two scarred marks on her left wrist.

With his clinical experience, those two scars did not occur at the same time.

The span was at least over half a year.

Others may not understand the origin of those two marks, but Zhou Can inferred something.

If he wasn't mistaken, those were scars left from a suicide attempt by cutting her wrists.
