The willows at Yun Hua Hospital were green, charming, and full of leaves.
Leaves fell from locust trees, their bald branches and hard trunks visible.
A mini Volkswagen Jetta rushed from the end of the road to the hospital at the speed limit.
Simultaneously, small yellow, blue, green, and red cars on both ends of the parking lot started to move and gather at the center at normal speed.
When Ling Ran stepped down from his car, the area around him was already lively and bustling with activity.
"Doctor Ling, you're here."
"Good morning, Doctor Ling."
"Hi, Doctor Ling."
Girls who were youthful and lively greeted Ling Ran happily. Then, they surrounded him as they walked to the Emergency Medicine building together.
Ling Ran nodded to those around him as per his wont. He did not say much.
