This isn't just something one person has said, it's something all the medical staff at Eastern Hospital agree on.

"There's no way medicine can have this kind of competition."

Zhao Heng remarked indifferently. Medicine is a very special discipline; it can't really be used for competitions.

Even if there were, it would only be a very basic clinical skills competition, consisting of very fundamental skills that normally only newly graduated medical students would participate in.

For instance, one of the items in such competitions is CPR, where the evaluation criterion is the standard of the various movements.

So, it's impossible for medicine to have a world championship like Go.

And the way to assess a doctor's medical skills is very simple: it's about what kind of patients the doctor has healed.

Soon, the food was served.

However, Zhao Heng noticed there was an extra king crab.

"Manager Li, I don't think we ordered king crab, did we?"

Zhao Heng asked Manager Li who served the dishes himself with some confusion.

"It's on the house, from the boss."

Manager Li said with a beaming smile.

Soon, all the dishes were served, and Manager Li and the waiter left the room.

Only then did Zhao Heng say, "It's always king crab; I'm getting a bit tired of it."

"Some people don't get to eat it even once in years, and you're tired of it."

Hearing this rather show-offish remark, Xu Man Ni couldn't help but tease.

"In its place of origin, king crab isn't really worth much money, and in terms of nutritional value, it's no different from common seafood. Speaking of nutritional value, things like fish maw and large yellow croaker are what's truly beneficial for the body."

Zhao Heng said indifferently.

The reason king crab is so expensive is because of the transportation.

You have to know, king crab comes from across the ocean, and for freshness, it's generally shipped by air internationally, which significantly increases the cost.

"That's true, a good large yellow croaker can be quite expensive, costing tens of thousands."

Xu Man Ni nodded in agreement.

"Will you be busier now that you've been promoted to head nurse?"

Zhao Heng suddenly looked at Xu Man Ni and said.

At a big hospital like Eastern Hospital, there are a lot of things happening in the operating rooms every day; there's a lot to coordinate, and for the head nurse, there's even more responsibility in managing and coordinating many things.

"Actually, it's not as much as you think. Specifically, there's not more than what an instrument nurse does."

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

Being head nurse is at least a management role, so there's not actually a lot of tangible work required from the head nurse.

"That's a bit better; otherwise, we'd really turn into the cowboy and weaving girl."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

"Once you become a head nurse, that's pretty much the peak. As long as things are sorted out, it's actually not that busy."

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

She was also making a statement with such words.

A boyfriend as good and outstanding as Zhao Heng, if she lets him go, where will she find another?

Hence, she's given some serious thought to how to balance work and family.

The idea of achieving both career and love is just a fantasy that only exists in TV dramas.

In reality, in a sister-brother relationship, the sister actually has to give more.

She's already thirty-one, and at this age, it's time to seriously consider marriage.

Sweet romance and such are not suitable for her.

"When I went back a few days ago, my dad was urging me to get married."

Zhao Heng said casually.

"Urging you to get married? So, what's your opinion?"

Hearing this, Xu Man Ni immediately perked up and said.

He spoke without intention, but she listened with interest. Although the time they've been together isn't as long as couples who have been dating for seven or eight years, or even ten-year marathons, when it comes to marriage, often the shorter the time together, the more possible it becomes.

As time together lengthens, to some extent, people grow tired.

"I'm fine with it either way. Actually, getting married isn't a big deal."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said. Before, he didn't dare think about marriage, but with the progress of the anaesthetist assistant project, at least in the foreseeable future, owning a house and such isn't a concern. Thus, his biggest worry is gone.

Even though he's young, Zhao Heng's mindset is relatively traditional. The notion of a wife, kids, and a warm home is something he still likes.

Since he has to get married sooner or later, why not earlier?

Besides, his parents have moved up with him now. Even if both are busy with work after marriage, his parents are still young enough to help.

The most crucial thing is, for his parents, him getting married and starting a family is their biggest wish currently.

"I thought you might have a fear of marriage for a moment.."

Xu Man Ni said, surprised at Zhao Heng's attitude.

From the time they got together until now, she never broached the subject of marriage. She understands young people's thinking; pressuring Zhao Heng might not be good.

"What's there to be afraid of? If marriage is something you thoroughly consider, it's probably hard to make up your mind."

Zhao Heng laughed and said.

In modern society, there are many people who have quick marriages, and the duration of the marriage or time they knew each other before marriage doesn't have much to do with the success of the marriage.

Many people quickly marry and can live happily, but then some who have been in long romantic relationships and got married may divorce in a few years.

In essence, marriage and family are more like two partners living together; as long as they can reach an agreement, they can likely spend a lifetime together.

"Mm."

Xu Man Ni nodded her head, feeling relieved. With Zhao Heng's attitude towards marriage, she no longer had to worry.

The time they've been together isn't long, and since there's already a consensus, it's okay to take things slow.

At her age, she can't afford a long romantic marathon.

Ten-year romantic marathons and such are simply impossible.

However, she needed to start focusing on skincare and maintenance.

Although she looked young, her work as a nurse was still quite demanding.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni went back to Xu Man Ni's place.

Both of them had been working all day, and now they're exhausted, so they could only go home early to rest.

Once they entered the house, they changed into their pajamas and sat on the sofa. Looking at the clock, it was only eight-thirty.

Every medical staff member can be considered a night owl. At eight-thirty, being used to staying up on night shifts, neither of them felt tired at all.

"Shall we watch some TV?"

Zhao Heng asked Xu Man Ni, who was leaning against him, looking very languid like a sleeping beauty.

"Mm."

Xu Man Ni nodded lazily with her eyes half-closed.

Today, she was somewhat tired from work, and at this point, she just wanted to lie down and rest for a bit.

"Recently, 'Three-Body' has started airing, how about we watch that?"

Zhao Xu said.

After turning on the TV, he suddenly remembered that the 'Three-Body' TV series had started airing, and the online reviews were quite good.

Zhao Heng read 'Three-Body' when he was in college, and after reading the 'Three-Body System', he had a significant interest in science fiction for a while.

Which boy hasn't dreamed of becoming a scientist, studying lots of high-tech things when he was young!

"You watch. I'll sleep for a bit."

Xu Man Ni said casually. After speaking, she pulled the thin blanket on the sofa over her.

Zhao Heng opened his phone and only then discovered that to watch the 'Three-Body' series, a particular video membership was required, and he could also advance-bing episodes.

After biting his teeth, Zhao Heng subscribed to a particular video membership and cast it on the TV.

Soon, the 'Three-Body' series started.

I must say, this 'Three-Body' series was filmed very well; having read the original novel, Zhao Heng felt some scenes were even more appealing and dramatically tense than the novel.

Especially the casting choice for Commander Ye Wenjie; it was simply perfect!

It's safe to say that the portrayal of Ye Wenjie in this series perfectly aligns with the depiction in the original.

Watching all the way until midnight, Zhao Heng finally finished the four episodes. Despite having spent 25 on the pre-viewing after subscribing, it was quite satisfying.
