Afternoon.
Once he had eaten his fill, Ling Ran sat on a chair in the office. He was in a relaxed mode as he reclined against the chair to look outside the window. He saw the corner of a building before him and sank into deep thought.
Sunlight shone on the ground, and it was warm.
To his left was a cup of lemon, kumquat, and passion fruit tea, which was given to him by the nurses at the nurse's station. There were ice cubes in it, and cold steam rose up from it, making it very refreshing. To his right were three sets of dim sum given to him by his patients' family members.
While he was not allowed to receive red packets, gifts of food from the patients and patients' family members were still allowed. However, most of the fruits and snacks that the patients and their family members gifted them were usually for the entire department. The start of the tradition of giving gifts for certain doctors only started after Ling Ran arrived.
