51 Memorial (1/2)
Life in Kuake City was truly slow. Apart from a few restaurants run by Chinese people, the other—ethnic—restaurants wouldn't even open before 10:00 a.m. This became even more exaggerated in the winter. Businesses wouldn't open even until noontime. Two weeks after Zhang Fan's team arrived in Kuake City, they were informed that they could all take two days off to rest. Li Hongtu happily went out to explore and take pictures, which was his hobby. He carried a camera with a tripod and went searching for places with the least people.
Since Zhang Fan didn't have any surgeries to do, he decided to go to Chasu City to continue Li Xiao's massage treatment. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Yanan found him. ”You're going back to Chasu City?” she asked Zhang Fan.
”Yeah, I'll be back by this afternoon.”
”Let me go back with you. It's really boring to stay here without any surgeries.” They could leave Kuake City because they didn't belong to Kuake City Hospital anyways. Not to mention, Kang Hua had especially had Tang Jingjing tell Zou Pingshan that he should treat Zhang Fan well.
”Sure. Have you told Vice Director Li that you're going back to visit Chasu City?”
”Yeah, he agreed already.”
Zhang Fan thus drove Wang Yanan to Chasu City. Wang Yanan wasn't very curious about why Zhang Fan had a car. Her family was well off, so she felt that it wasn't rare to see someone having a car. Rather, she was highly curious about why Zhang Fan knew how to drive, since both of them had just recently graduated from college. Why did he know how to drive when she didn't? She didn't even ask where Zhang Fan got his car from. She just kept asking if it was easy to learn how to drive. Halfway to Chasu City, since Wang Yanan saw that few cars were on the road, she excitedly asked Zhang Fan, ”How about letting me try to drive? I'll only drive for ten minutes!”
Zhang Fan ignored her. Although there weren't many cars on the road between Kuake City and Chasu City, he still wanted to live a long life. He found that Wang Yanan's personality was just like a man's, wanting to personally control everything.
”So stingy.” Seeing that Zhang Fan was ignoring her, Wang Yanan reclined the seat and took a nap.
Zhang Fan was driving under the blue sky with a warm sun, and could see snowy mountains in the distance. If only the woman riding in his car was gentler, he would feel so blessed. When he first got acquainted with Wang Yanan, he felt that she was the icy type, but now that he was more familiar with her, he discovered that she was no different from how a man would be! She was so direct!
Zhang Fan's car was almost completely new. However, he didn't have any CDs with music to listen to. It wasn't that he didn't like listening to music, but rather that he felt like CDs were a waste of money. Since the road leading from Kuake City to Chasu City was mountainous, the radio signal was almost nonexistent as well.
Wang Yanan really did fall asleep in Zhang Fan's car. When he arrived in Chasu City, he pushed her, and said, ”Wake up, where do you want to go? I'll drop you off.” Wang Yanan opened her eyes, looked outside the car window, and said, ”The staff residential apartments of the Chasu City Bureau of Public Health. Wake me up when we get there. I'm going to sleep for a little while longer.”
When Zhang Fan arrived, he had to drag the still half-asleep Wang Yanan off his car. At this time, her mom coincidentally came out and saw her. Her mom exploded with anger to see her daughter getting off a car while looking half-asleep. She grabbed the car door and interrogated Wang Yanan. ”What's going on, Yanan? Weren't you supposed to be in Kuake City?” She then glared at Zhang Fan. ”What exactly is going on here!?”
Since Zhang Fan couldn't drive the car with Wang Yanan's mother holding onto the car door, he decided to get off the car. ”Hello, Ma'am. I'm a coworker of Wang Yanan.” Hearing that he was a coworker made Wang Yanan's mother's expression relax significantly. She asked, ”Where are you going?” This time, it was evident that she was talking to Zhang Fan.
”Mom, he's my coworker. He has business here in Chasu City, so I decided to get a ride from him. We have no patients to see today since it's a rest day for us. Stop asking so many questions and go home already.”
”Why are you in such a hurry? Since you're here already, you should invite him in. Your dad and uncles are chatting inside. I was about to go out to buy some groceries. What's your coworker's name?” Wang Yanan's mom felt quite a headache about her daughter. Wang Yanan worked together almost exclusively with men, and had yet to get a single boyfriend even at her age. Although Wang Yanan wasn't worried about this at all, her mother was really anxious. Her mother tried to introduce several men to her daughter, but Wang Yanan refused to even try and meet them! When Wang Yanan's mother saw the situation before her just now, she had gotten the impression that Zhang Fan and her daughter might have some type of romantic connection, which was why she started prying.

Zhang Fan broke out into a cold sweat from hearing the invitation. This sounded like he would get interrogated by Wang Yanan's entire family! Still, Wang Yanan became impatient before he did. ”Mom, stop dawdling here. Hurry and leave already. He still has something to do.” She dragged her mom away. Before Wang Yanan left, she said to Zhang Fan, ”When are you going back to Kuake City this afternoon? Call me and give me a ride back when you do.”
