The first time I met Yu Zhu was during my first anatomy class.
Many students find it difficult to adjust to their first anatomy class.
The male students handle it a bit better, but the female students have a harder time.
So, the teacher invited a few Senior Sisters to provide us with psychological support.
That was when I met Yu Zhu.
She was gentle, kind, considerate, and generous.
She patiently comforted each and every student.
Her voice was so soft, and her gaze was so warm.
She reassured all of us, telling us not to be afraid and not to be nervous.
After the anatomy class ended, I caught up with her.
"Senior Sister, thank you," I said.
She smiled slightly at me and replied, "No need to thank me. I'm a Senior Sister; it's what I'm supposed to do."
"Senior Sister, what is your name?" I asked.
"Yu Yuzhu," she answered.
"Yu Yuzhu," I repeated softly, "Senior Sister, my name is Wen Jiayou."
She smiled and said, "I know. You're the top student in this cohort."
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Everyone in the medical school knows."
At that moment, I felt very happy.
A sense of being acknowledged, accepted, and recognized filled me with joy.
I think I have fallen for her.
But I know she has a boyfriend.
She loves her boyfriend very much.
I can only bury this affection deep in my heart.
After graduation, I stayed at school to pursue my doctorate.
I became busier after starting work.
Every day, I was either attending classes or conducting experiments, and I hardly had any chance to see her.
Occasionally, we would run into each other on campus.
I would greet her, and she would smile back at me.
The interactions between us were pitifully few.
And just like that, several years passed.
I thought we would never have any more connections in this lifetime.
Until that day when she called me.
She said she was sick.
She had Kidney Cancer.
In that moment, I realized that I had always liked her.
I couldn't let her go.
She called me to her side and told me she wanted to divorce her boyfriend.
She said she wanted to donate her body to the academy.
I felt it was unfair for her.
She loved him so much that she was even willing to die for him.
But what about him?
He had another woman outside.
Yu Zhu smiled, "This body is the only thing I can leave to this world."
"Jiaoyou, you need to focus on your research. You must conquer the challenge of Kidney Cancer as soon as possible, so that more innocent people do not lose their lives because of it."
"Okay." I promised her with tears in my eyes.
I handed her letter to the lawyer.
I brought her... husband... to the anatomy lab at the medical school.
I told him, "Yu Zhu is here."
He broke down in tears.
He even fainted.
Watching him collapse brought me a sense of vindictive pleasure.
But I still felt unsatisfied.
I hated him.
I hated him for hurting her.
I hated him for betraying her.
I hated him for causing her death.
I would never forgive him.
I dragged him out of the anatomy lab.
He woke up, clinging to my leg, crying hoarsely.
"Please, let me see her, let me see her..."
"Get lost!" I shouted angrily, "You don't deserve it!"
"You don't deserve to be her husband at all!"
"Get out of here!"
I kicked him, and he fell to the ground.
He lay there, sobbing uncontrollably.
"It was my fault she died... it was my fault she died..."
"I'm not human... I'm not human..."
He cried in despair.
But I felt that this was what he deserved.
He had it coming.
He killed Yu Zhu, and he should suffer for a lifetime!
He was thrown out by the security guards.
Like a pile of trash, he lay on the street, ignored by everyone.
A few days later, I heard the news that he died in a car accident.
His mother refused to accept that her son's body was donated to the academy.
Ha! This guy had come to me before.
He wanted to donate his body after death just like Senior Sister.
Pfft! He still wanted to be with Senior Sister—what a dreamer.
She caused a scene but ultimately took her son's body away.
He had already transferred the Equity before his death, and he donated all his property to the medical school.
His mother received nothing.
His mother went mad.
I have never married in my life.
I dedicated my entire life to the field of medicine.
I spent my life researching Kidney Cancer.
Finally, I succeeded!
I saved the lives of countless patients!
I became a master in the medical field!
I became a respected physician worldwide!
But I know that none of this is what I wanted.
What I wanted was for Yu Zhu to be alive.
What I wanted was for Yu Zhu to be by my side.
Even after retirement, I remained active in the operating room.
Every time I saved a patient, I felt as if Yu Zhu had returned.
She was by my side, accompanying me.
She smiled at me.
