"Ah, youth is wonderful," Wu Mingtao, lying in the bed next to him, sighed as the doctor left.
"What's the matter, old Wu, you really think you're old now?" Bi Fang dressed himself, chuckling.
Having been hospital mates for two days, their relationship had developed nicely, free of the tension that existed when they faced off against the wolf pack.
Friendship between men can sometimes be that simple and direct.
"How could that be, I have nearly thirty years till retirement," Wu Mingtao denied vehemently, then turned to ask, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, since there's no issue with my wound, I don't want to stay in the hospital, and since I can get vaccinated anywhere, going back works too." Bi Fang was already packing his things.
Wu Mingtao nodded; that made sense.
"Then you can rest easy. Once my injury heals, I'll start writing straightaway and publish your experience. It's guaranteed to go viral!"
"Remember to make the pictures look cool."
