Erniu returned to the hotel, and he didn't forget to inform Xi Lailu, the vice dean of Western Medical College, about his departure from Kyoto the next day.
Although Xi Lailu felt it was a pity, he knew well that he couldn't keep a personage like Erniu tethered. The old man had no intention of using devious tactics to seize his valuable knowledge. Instead, he organized a dinner party that evening as a send-off.
Erniu readily agreed, and that night, he had a hearty drink with Professor Xi and the other medical scholars from Western Medical College. They enjoyed a pleasant conversation and even exchanged medical experiences.
It wasn't until late at night that Erniu returned to his room.
The next day!
Early in the morning.
Erniu had thought that since the drink with Professor Xi and the others had gone on so late last night, they wouldn't be up early today. He didn't disturb them and instead prepared to leave with Hu Shisanniang and Lisa·Sally.
