"Doctor Ling, I've peeled some pine nuts for you." Miao Tansheng was waiting in the courtyard for Ling Ran to return. The moment he saw Ling Ran, he immediately handed the latter a plate of peeled pine nuts and flashed a smile. "I peeled them with a pair of tweezers."
"Oh, you're pretty skilled," Ling Ran could not help but comment when he looked at the plate of smooth and shiny pine nuts.
Miao Tansheng looked like he had just received the greatest praise in the world, and he was smiling from ear to ear. His huge eyebags trembled like the chest muscles of a burly man. "It's great that you like them."
"Thanks a lot." Ling Ran took the plate and sniffed it before grabbing a handful of pine nuts. He ate some to replenish his strength and asked, "Are there any more patients?"
