Chapter 157: Not Skiving
It was unusually noisy and bright. Anji tossed and turned with a light frown. The room was warmer than she remembered it to be. It also felt very comfortable that she did not want to leave the bed.
Wait. Bed?
Cracking open an eye, Anji realised it was very bright outside. The room seemed unfamiliar until she remembered where she was. This was not the Celestial Dragon Sect. If anything, she was in her shifu’s hut.
As the events from yesterday slowly came back to her, Anji jumped out of bed. That was right. She was busy helping with Assistant Hu’s surgery. She did not remember much after that. How did she get back here? Her clothes were also changed. More importantly, she was late! Who was her new internship researcher? Was it Senior Researcher Mo who helped with last night’s surgery?
Rushing to get changed, Anji stumbled and crashed onto the only table in the room. There, she found a note. It was Pearl’s handwriting. The note was long, and Anji skimmed through the contents. Her racing heart slowed down soon after learning it was her off day.
Checking the time, Anji figured it was mid-morning. There was still time before lunch. Anji was hungry, but that could wait. She had some chores to tackle beforehand and a patient to check on later. If lucky, she might have time to visit Gu Ying in the evening.
Humming happily, Anji did her laundry and tidied the place a little. It was still early, but having brunch sounded better than waiting for lunch.
When Anji arrived at the mess hall, she was surprised to see Assistant Hu and Researcher Ke there. Why was he up and moving already? Shouldn’t someone who had almost died yesterday still be resting?
Glancing over, Anji saw more people. Pearl, Senior Researcher Mo and Doctor Yun were also there, discussing something with Aunt Wine. Confused at the large party, Anji stood by the door for a while.
