8 PM.

Inside a quiet bar.

"I've got surgery tomorrow, so I'm just having some pre-mixed fruit wine today, but you guys can order whatever you want to eat."

Liu Ziang looked at Zhao Heng and Li Haiyang, who were seated in the booth, and said with a smile.

He came out to drink for the feeling of chatting and confiding with good friends; the drinking itself was secondary.

However, some people drink to get drunk, probably because after getting drunk, they can let go of their masks and be themselves.

"Then let's start with an Alaskan king crab."

Zhao Heng smiled slightly and said unreservedly after hearing this.

"Junior, you're really not holding back."

Liu Ziang laughed, saying Zhao Heng was not holding back, but immediately gestured to the waiter and whispered a few words.

After just a while, a large plate of Alaskan king crab was served, instantly elevating the class.

It made people at other tables unable to resist looking over, probably thinking some big spender had arrived to order such a big king crab in a quiet bar.

"Huh? There's really a king crab?"

Looking at the large plate of king crab on the table in front of him, Zhao Heng was a bit stunned.

"In North City, as long as you have money, you can eat anything. Junior, your king crab has arrived."

Liu Ziang couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhao Heng's stunned expression.

This king crab looked quite impressive, weighing at least three to four pounds. The price of a pound was at least six hundred yuan, meaning just the raw material cost of this crab was over two thousand yuan.

With tonight's drinks, Liu Ziang was going to spend quite a bit.

However, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket to Liu Ziang, who can earn three thousand yuan for a forty-minute remote video consultation.

"Senior is spending big tonight."

Li Haiyang also smiled and said. He and Liu Ziang were from the same undergraduate school, with Liu Ziang being two years his senior, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"This king crab is just a common arthropod. In terms of taste, I actually think it doesn't compare to getting up on a winter morning to eat a bowl of hot lamb soup with bread."

Liu Ziang said with a smile.

The king crab is really just for the novelty. After having it a few times, it becomes just like anything else.

"Senior's perspective is high."

Zhao Heng chimed in, knowing the saying about courteous speech when eating someone else's food. Having consumed such a large Alaskan top-grade king crab, naturally, he had to say some nice words.

However, he said the king crab was just something casual he mentioned. He isn't particularly picky about food and can be considered a die-hard carb lover, someone who cares about volume and satisfaction, which was his sole requirement for food.

"Originally, this place's uni flown in from Hokkaido was pretty good, but as you know, seafood marinated in nuclear waste water recently can't be eaten anymore."

Liu Ziang added.

"How many times have you been here, Senior..."

Zhao Heng couldn't help but remark upon hearing that.

This great god's life seems even richer than he imagined. Unlike him, even though his financial situation has improved, he mostly commutes between the hospital and home, occasionally visiting Boya Medical College and Yanjing University.

"You've got to work and have a life, or why bother working?"

Liu Ziang said rather nonchalantly.

"That's true."

Zhao Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"The nuclear wastewater is for real."

Li Haiyang suddenly added.

As a doctor, he naturally pays extra attention to food safety. Agricultural products and seafood from that small island nation have always been sold at sky-high prices. Now, in addition to being expensive, they come with a mutation-causing option.

Sometimes, reality is more absurd than fiction.

"Can't deny that the people from the small island nation have a lot of so-called fairy folk, who can become immortals just by cooking or making sushi. If that's the case, Grandpa Qin, the doorkeeper at the hospital for decades, at least should be a doorkeeper immortal."

Hearing Li Haiyang's words, Zhao Heng couldn't help but remark.

This so-called "immortal" culture is really something he's not interested in.

The three of them ate, drank, and chatted, with the atmosphere quite harmonious — something Zhao Heng hadn't experienced while studying.

Back then, he was still a poor student, spending most of his breaks doing part-time work to support his studies.

Sitting in the booth, sipping pre-mixed fruit wine, listening to a pretty girl singing on stage, Zhao Heng now felt a sense of relaxation, like a day with nothing to do, listening to music at a pavilion.

This kind of leisurely relaxation is what life should be!

Just as the three were engrossed in conversation, a pretty young woman suddenly rose from the table next to them and walked toward Zhao Heng.

This scene naturally caught the attention of Zhao Heng and his companions.

"Hi, can I get your contact information?"

The young woman stood before Zhao Heng, summoning her courage to ask.

Taking the initiative to ask a guy for his contact information is very brave.

The young woman worked nearby and came to the quiet bar today with friends for leisure. Ever since she came in, she had noticed Zhao Heng. Besides his looks, Zhao Heng's aura deeply attracted her, prompting her to ask Zhao Heng for his contact information.

"Uh~"

Suddenly asked for his contact information by such a beautiful young woman, Zhao Heng was a bit stunned, feeling like his CPU was overloaded.

"Here's my number, make sure to call me."

Seeing Zhao Heng's bewildered face, the young woman smiled, placed a napkin with her number on the table in front of Zhao Heng, and turned to leave.

Only after the young woman left did Zhao Heng come to his senses.

Did I just get hit on?

Zhao Heng thought to himself.

"Junior, your charm is something, but aren't these girls a bit shallow, only looking at faces."

Seeing a pretty young woman ask Zhao Heng for his contact information, Liu Ziang joked.

Naturally, Zhao Heng was extremely handsome, almost to the point of being able to debut as a star, but this didn't help much in his medical career.

Even when he was working as a surgical instrument technician, although he was a super handsome guy, it at most made the nurses glance at him a few more times.

"If I were you, I'd keep her contact information right away."

Li Haiyang said somewhat jealously. He considers himself a handsome guy too, so why hasn't a young woman asked for his number?

"You can have it."

Zhao Heng said.

"What would I do with it? She's interested in you."

Li Haiyang replied.

With such great medical skills and good luck with women, it's like not leaving any room for others.

"Junior, a colorful flag outside and a red flag not falling at home, that's the true essence of life. You have this charm, not making good use of it would be a real waste."

Liu Ziang said with a meaningful smile.

"Senior, I didn't expect someone with such thick eyebrows to think like this..."

Zhao Heng was somewhat speechless.

Even if he wanted to start a harem, the readers wouldn't allow it!
