Su Fan's heart was in a panic.
As expected, he had shown too much concern.
But he definitely couldn't admit that.
"Sis, you think too highly of me. Do you think she and I could have any kind of relationship? It's just curiosity."
"But about you, how do you know so much? Your family must be no ordinary one, right?"
Su Fan retorted to Liu Ye.
"What, trying to dig into your sister's background? Well, let me tell you, I'm unfathomable; you need to dig deeper."
Su Fan was speechless.
"I've already probed your depths, haven't I?"
Liu Ye was taken aback at first, then blushed and glared charmingly at Su Fan when she realized what he meant.
"You bad boy, always bullying your sister."
"However, if you really want to know what my family does, I don't mind. Why don't you come home for dinner with me? I'll introduce you to my parents; they're very easygoing and are sure to like you."
Is this a forced marriage proposal?
"Sis, didn't you say that you're into the no-marriage philosophy?"
Su Fan asked somewhat guiltily.
That was a subtle rejection.
After all, Liu Ye was just hinting.
Instead, she gave a bitter smile.
"Look how scared you got. I was just joking! Don't worry, I stick to my words; I definitely won't make you take responsibility for me."
"Marriage, you wish."
There was a hint of loss in Liu Ye's tone.
Su Fan quickly changed the subject.
"Then it's my bad luck, sis. Let's talk about you first. Why do you look so upset?"
Liu Ye slapped her thigh energetically and burst out angrily,
"That bastard Sun Zhigang, God only knows what got into him, actually assigning you by name to do community service in Citizens Village. Normally, that's something people from the health screening center do. What business does a gynecologist have there? It's totally brainless."
"Community service, Citizens Village?"
Su Fan looked confused.
"You just joined the hospital and aren't familiar with the situation yet. Big hospitals like ours have community service activities every year, which theoretically is a good thing, but the situation in Citizens Village is really bad."
"It's the biggest urban village in Yang City, with a large intake, and it's mostly migrant workers, construction workers, idle members of society, streetwalkers, minor hooligans... Basically, it couldn't be more chaotic..."
"In the past, no one has wanted to go there. This year, he's forced it on the gynecology department and named you to lead the team. He even told me your medical skills are extraordinary and that you should bring fame to our hospital. The director even agreed, and I was so annoyed. This jerk obviously intends to cause you trouble."
It looked like the slap he gave Sun Zhigang yesterday wasn't enough, as he still hadn't learned his lesson.
Seeing the distressed Liu Ye, Su Fan comforted her.
"Sis, don't be mad. Though the place is full of bad people, I suppose there are also many pitiable, lower-class citizens. Instead of serving the rich and powerful in the hospital, I'd rather do something for the ordinary folk."
"You might not know this, but my grandfather was the most famous itinerant doctor in our area. I might as well act as an itinerant doctor today."
"You still have the mood to joke."
"Hehe, thanks for your concern, sis. I should go now."
Seeing Su Fan about to leave, Liu Ye immediately said.
"I'm coming with you."
"You're the head director; isn't it inappropriate for you to go personally?"
"What's inappropriate about it? If you can be the good guy, can't I? Besides, it's not just old people and children there. There are also women. What if a woman has chest pain? What will you do?"
"And if another gets vaginitis, are you going to see or not?"
Su Fan was left speechless.
This really was a problem.
"Alright, no more talk. I'm ready. I've put everything in the car already; we'll take the hospital's car."
Su Fan didn't argue, and the two went downstairs, got in the car, and soon arrived at a large urban village entrance.
A large archway sign reading "Citizens Village" stood at the entrance.
The car stopped under the archway.
They set up and began seeing patients.
"Bro, he's just over there, that guy. Beat him dead later..."
In a van parked in a nearby alley, a young man with a bruised face pointed at Su Fan and said to the others in the car.
