Chapter 834 - 836: Complicated and Intractable Diseases
Sun Xingyao looked at the child in front of him who hadn’t graduated from university yet. Since he hadn’t stepped into society, whether in speech or expression, there was a bit of foolish naivety. While this naivety might be good in some places, in the hospital, it was entirely unbeneficial.
With great interest, Sun Xingyao looked at Song Baiyang and said, "Little friend, I know you’re just an intern. I was a bit touched seeing you stand up for Xiao Yifei, but you’re being too foolish. If I say a word now, you could be leaving this hospital, and even Xiao Yifei might not be able to do anything for you."
"He might not even know that you lost your internship opportunity because of him, so why bother?" Sun Xingyao said to Song Baiyang with the tone of someone who has experienced it all.
"I didn’t plan on letting Doctor Xiao know, I simply wanted to do this. I just couldn’t stand you people with a little bit of power abusing it, wronging good people arbitrarily." Song Baiyang still looked like a reckless young man, but the courage in him was something Sun Xingyao hadn’t seen in years.
Having been in this great melting pot of society for so long, he had forgotten what courage was, what the camaraderie among brothers was about. This society demands that we smooth out all the rough edges of our bodies, turning irregular, prickly shapes into smooth spheres. Spheres so smooth that no edges can be felt.
"I was initially planning to dismiss you, but then I thought again and decided to let it go, because I saw in you the courage I haven’t seen in a long time. For this courage of yours, I’ll let you off this time, but next time if you meddle again, I will definitely not be polite."
Song Baiyang gave him a glance, didn’t say anything more, and just left. As Sun Xingyao watched Song Baiyang leave, memories of his past came rushing back.
He remembered most clearly an incident in middle school when a classmate broke a window. To avoid punishment, the classmate was intent on blaming the mistake on the most honest and shortest boy in their class, even colluding with friends to testify against him.
The skinny boy, facing their false accusations, didn’t dare to refute and was about to cry. It was then that Sun Xingyao stood up and said in front of the whole class, "It was that boy who broke the glass, I saw it with my own eyes, the short boy is being wronged."
