It's another sunny day.

After breakfast, Gu Ranle drove to Song Yu's clinic. Although the danger had been lifted, she was still worried without seeing anyone.

Song Yu worked overtime until late last night because of his dedication and passion for medical skills.

When the morning light first came, he was already ready and arrived at the clinic early, ready to start a busy day.

However, at this moment, his face looked particularly haggard, especially his eyes, which were full of red bloodshot, as if he had just experienced a long and difficult battle, and his eyes were as red as the tired eyes of a rabbit in autumn.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ranle's heart couldn't help but tighten a little.

She said to Song Yu softly but firmly: "You stayed up so late last night, so you should have a good rest today."

Song Yu shook his head when he heard this, "There are still many patients waiting today, I can't rest."

Gu Ranle knew that for doctors, the needs of patients always come first.

But she also knows that seeing patients while tired is not only irresponsible to the patients, but also a huge drain on the doctors themselves.

She made an analogy: "Going to see a doctor while tired is similar to driving while tired. Both are irresponsible for the safety of yourself and others."

As she spoke, she handed the breakfast she brought from home to Song Yu.

"Go to the office and have your meal, then go back and have a good sleep. Today, I will take your place in the outpatient clinic."

"Really? Are you sure?"

When Song Yu heard this, an expression of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

You know, he had suggested several times before that Gu Ranle come to the outpatient clinic, and she had free time, but she always declined for various reasons.

And today, she actually took the initiative to make this request. How could he not be surprised and happy?

"Okay, I'll go rest now. You've worked hard today."

After saying this, without giving Gu Ranle any chance to regret, Song Yu hurried into his office carrying his lunch box.

There is a lounge inside his office. Sometimes he works overtime late and doesn't want to go home, so he spends the night in the lounge.

He quickly finished his meal, walked into the lounge, and fell asleep.

The consultation time had not yet arrived, so Gu Ranle went to Zhang Junyi's ward first.

An An followed Feng Hanlin home. Tony was sitting beside Zhang Junyi's bed reading a book.

Seeing Gu Ranle coming in, she immediately closed the book and stood up, with a warm smile on her face.

"Lele, you're here."

Gu Ranle smiled, "Yes."

She stared at Tony for two seconds and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today. You even put on makeup."

Toni today has changed a lot from the first time she met her. The smile on her face is genuine and there is light in her eyes.

A hint of shyness flashed across Toni's face. She gently played with the hair by her ear, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Zhang Junyi moved his fingers last night. Doctor Song said this is a sign of awakening."

"So you put on makeup on purpose, hoping that he would see you looking beautiful when he woke up. I understand."

Gu Ranle sat down and felt Zhang Junyi's pulse, then asked, "Have you ever thought about checking the driver who caused Zhang Junyi's car accident?"

Tony sighed, a trace of helplessness in her eyes. "I've called the police, and they're trying their best to investigate. But that section of road is a blind spot for surveillance, so there are very few clues. I asked someone to find out, and they said it's unlikely to find the driver who caused the accident."

"Oh." Gu Ranle nodded and didn't say much.

Toni paused, looked gently at her husband who seemed to be asleep on the bed, and said softly: "Wait until Zhang Junyi wakes up. If he sees the culprit, things will be easier."

"Ah."

After chatting with Toni for a while, Gu Ranle went out to see Song Yu.

The clinic was packed with patients today. The assistant hurried into the consulting room and told Gu Ranle that the number of appointments had reached an astonishing 100.

Gu Ranle took a deep breath and prepared to face the challenges of the day.

Just then, the door of the clinic was gently pushed open, and an old lady with silver hair walked in.

She glanced at Gu Ranle who was sitting behind the examination table, her brows instantly frowned, and a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Excuse me, are you Dr. Song's assistant? Why didn't Dr. Song come to see patients today?" There was a hint of questioning in the old lady's voice.

Gu Ranle stood up with a smile and explained politely, "Hello, Dr. Song is on leave today, so I'll be taking his place. My last name is Gu."

Hearing this, the old lady frowned even more tightly. She looked Gu Ranle up and down, seeming to doubt her age and qualifications.

"Little girl, have you graduated from college? Can you see a doctor?"

At this time, the assistant quickly interrupted and tried to dispel the old lady's doubts.

"Old lady, don't worry. Doctor Gu's medical skills are on par with Doctor Song's. It's just that she doesn't see patients very often, so you may not know her very well. Besides, Doctor Gu only looks young, but she is actually quite old."

After hearing what the assistant said, the old lady felt relieved a little, but there was still a look of doubt on her face.

"Really? She looked like she was in her twenties, but now she's over 30! I couldn't tell."

Gu Ranle smiled helplessly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

She secretly sighed in her heart that looking young is sometimes a trouble, as people always misunderstand her abilities and experience.

"Old lady, please sit down." Gu Ranle said as he motioned for the old lady to sit down, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Ouch, my legs hurt so much."

The old lady sighed softly and slowly lifted up her trouser legs, revealing her slightly thin calves.

There was a hint of helplessness and expectation in her eyes, as if she was seeking a little relief from the world.

"I used to have unbearable pain in my legs, but after Dr. Song gave me a few acupuncture treatments a while ago, the pain has improved a lot. I thought this old problem would finally go away. Just half a month ago, I went on a trip with some old sisters on a whim. The scenery at the seaside was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. I jumped into the water and wanted to have a good swim. But who would have thought that my legs would suddenly cramp while I was swimming. The feeling was really indescribable. I was still hoping that it would get better after a while, but it dragged on for a week. Not only did it not get better, but it got worse. Last night, the pain made me unable to sleep all night. It was really torture."

Gu Ranle listened quietly to the old lady's narration, without any extra expression on her face, just nodding slightly occasionally to show her attention.

She asked her assistant to help the old lady lie on the bed, while she held a gleaming silver needle in each hand. Her acupuncture movements were skillful and precise, as if she was performing a silent dance.

"Leave the needle in for five minutes." She briefly instructed the assistant, then turned around and said, "Next."

The old lady was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Dr. Gu would start acupuncture without even asking any questions.

Moreover, the acupuncture was performed with both hands at the same time. She had never seen that technique before, and it was completely different from that used by Doctor Song.

This seemed incredible to her.

"Doctor Gu, you...you gave me an injection without asking anything?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in the old lady's voice.

Gu Ranle glanced at her calmly when she heard this, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"What are you asking? Haven't you explained it clearly? The cause, course, and symptoms. Everything is covered."

After saying this, she said no more and turned her full attention to treating the next patient.

The new patient was a young woman, pale and anxious.

She told Gu Ranle that she had not had her period for three months and had gone to the hospital for a detailed examination, which ruled out the possibility of pregnancy.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for her, but she didn't see any improvement after taking it for a month.

Gu Ranle listened to her story carefully, then gently took her pulse.

Her fingers were like lively notes, dancing on the woman's wrist, as if playing a piece of music of life.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand, quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to the woman.

"Doctor, after I finish taking these seven doses of medicine, I will come back for a follow-up visit, right?" the woman asked cautiously, with anticipation in her eyes.

"No need to come." Gu Ranle's voice was calm and firm, "It will be fine after you finish eating."

"Ah?" The woman opened her mouth in surprise, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

However, Gu Ranle no longer had time to explain. She waved her hand gently and said, "Next."

Within five minutes while the old lady had the acupuncture needle left in, Gu Ranle saw three patients at an astonishing speed.

Every movement she made was full of confidence and calmness, as if in her eyes, no disease was incurable.

"Assistant Chen, can Dr. Gu treat patients? Why do I feel like she's a little unreliable?" A bystander couldn't help but ask Assistant Chen in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Assistant Chen just smiled and said nothing.

When the time came, he skillfully removed the needle for the old lady.

"Old lady, please get out of bed and try to walk around." he said softly.

The old lady got out of bed half-believingly and took cautious steps.

As she walked away, her eyes suddenly widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

She shook her legs gently and did a few squatting and standing movements; each movement was smooth and natural.

"Hey! It really doesn't hurt at all! This...this is too magical!" the old lady shouted in surprise.

"Look, I've told you that Dr. Gu is very capable. Do you believe it now?" Assistant Chen said with a smile.

At this time, Gu Ranle came over and said, "You don't have to come tomorrow. Come for acupuncture the day after tomorrow. Try not to swim in cold water in the future. It's not good for your health."

The old lady nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"Dr. Gu, thank you so much today."

Gu Ranle did not stop for a moment and saw all the patients in nearly four hours.

"Doctor Gu, drink some water."

Assistant Xiao Chen brought a glass of water.

"Thank you. Is Dr. Song awake?"

"No."

"Let him sleep. I have something else to do so I'll go back first. Ask him to call me back when he wakes up."

Gu Ranle walked out of the clinic shaking his neck, and when he raised his eyes, he saw people in the corridor.

"Looking for Uncle Song to see a doctor? He's resting."

After saying that, Gu Ranle planned to leave.

But when she passed by Li Shenzhi, he grabbed her hand.
