Zheng Ren glanced at his watch. Fifteen minutes had passed. Professor Rudolf Wagner was still applying pressure to stop the bleeding. He seemed to have lost track of time.
“Lil Fugui!” Zheng Ren called out.
“What’s the matter?” The professor was startled for a while before he regained his composure and answered the call.
Dr. Zhou shuddered. A country-like Fugui was appalling enough.
When the professor spoke in a pure Northeastern dialect that was rarely heard even in the Northeastern region, it was the last straw that finally broke Dr. Zhou.
What in the…
“It’s time, wrap it with compression bandages and hand over the patient to Brother Zhou.” When Zheng Ren finished saying that, Xie Yiren had appeared in front of the professor with the compression bandages in her hands.
“Brother Zhou, I’m not following the patient back,” Zheng Ren said with a smile. “As usual, just remove the compression bandages after 24 hours. However, since you guys are performing the vertebral resectioning, you should listen to the Imperial Capital professor.”
Dr. Zhou was still immersed in the Northeastern slang that Professor Rudolf had just used.
He nodded his head in a daze after hearing what Zheng Ren had said.
“Right, Chief Zheng. I’ll be picking up Professor Tian tomorrow. After the surgery and postoperative care, I’ll take you out for a meal,” Dr. Zhou said. “Thanks for the favor.”
“No problem,” Zheng Ren said before chuckling.
After transferring the patient onto the stretcher trolley, Dr. Zhou waved his hand at him before pushing the patient out together with another orthopedic doctor.
The operating room finally quieted down.
“Lil Fugui, you should head back to the hotel and rest,” Zheng Ren said to Professor Rudolf when he was finished with work.
“Boss, remember to page me if you have an emergency interventional surgery tonight,” the professor said, reluctant to leave.
If the doctors from the Xinglin Garden were in shock, it seemed that the professor was the one who had truly become enlightened by the crux of the surgery.
Professor Rudolf felt as if he were back in his internship days. His entire body was energized and emergency surgery did not seem so dreadful after all.
“It’s after work hours and your personal time, Lil Fugui.” Zheng Ren waved his hand.
The name Lil Fugui seemed to roll off the tongue better.
It was a good name.
“No, Boss. F*ck personal time.” The professor gave a reassuring gesture and said, “I’m your assistant now. You have to call me if there’s an operation.”
“Okay.” Zheng Ren had been scouting around after sending the patient away. Xie Yiren and the circulating nurse were busy cleaning the surgical waste in the operating room and sterilizing the area. He thought about it several times before making a decision.
Zheng Ren went to the changing room together with the professor. He then chased the professor back home before taking out his phone to text Xie Yiren over WeChat.
[Any suggestions for dinner tonight?]
She should be busy because Zheng Ren did not receive an immediate reply. He gripped his phone tightly and placed it into his coat pocket, using his hand to feel the vibrations as he feared that he would not hear WeChat’s notification ringtone.
Zheng Ren quietly sat in the changing room and waited.
Should he ask Xie Yiren out for a movie tonight?
This was a problem.
Since Su Yun had told him about the story, Zheng Ren was fixated on the movie theater scenario as if under a spell.
He had only watched a handful of movies. He could not even remember which way the cinema doors open, not to mention the fact that he was about to watch a movie together with the girl he liked.
Zheng Ren’s palms turned clammy at the thought of it.
His mind was blank, like a soldier about to go into battle.
His phone rang and vibrated 3 times, startling Zheng Ren who was entirely focused on waiting for her reply.
He took his phone out of his pocket, both anxious and excited. He was disappointed to find that the message was from Su Yun.
[Boss, Yang Lili’s in the diuretic phase. She had more than 100 mL of urine per hour for three consecutive hours.]

Uhm, this was good news. Entering the diuretic phase meant that she had regained a certain level of kidney function after renal reperfusion.
As long as it did not progress to urinary incontinence, the injury would heal over time.
[Is she conscious?]
Zheng Ren replied.
[She can open her eyes but is still in a fuzzy state. You can reduce the dosage of sedative tomorrow, but that’s a problem for tomorrow. I’m going back to sleep. If there’s any emergency surgery tonight, please don’t call me. I can’t take it anymore.]
[Go ahead.]
The image of Su Yun sitting in the ICU appeared in Zheng Ren’s mind, his messy fringe resting sluggishly on his forehead.
He laughed.
The possibility of the emergency rescue being a success was increasing. Su Yun had done a good job.
While he thinking halfway, Xie Yiren sent a text on WeChat.
[There’s a newly open Cantonese restaurant. I heard that the chef is from Shunde. Do you want to try it?]
Zheng Ren had no idea that the most authentic Cantonese cuisine originated from Shunde. To a person who had no desire to eat when he was not hungry, bland and healthy Cantonese cuisine did not sound appetizing at all.
However, if it meant he could have dinner with Little Yiren… He would be happy no matter what.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Zheng Ren had a determined expression on his face.
[Let’s go watch a movie after dinner?]
Zheng Ren could feel his heart beating strongly as if it was about to jump out of his mediastinum when he pressed the send button.
Even his ribcage and sternum could not hold back his pumping heart.
The high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP were breaking up, supplying ample energy. Zheng Ren was so pumped up that he could clearly hear voices from the microscopic world.
He was extremely nervous. What if Little Yiren rejected him?
It seemed like she was more interested in eating.
Why did Su Yun not teach him what to say over the course of a meal?
Zheng Ren’s mind was filled with a rampage of thoughts. He had yet to receive any reply from Xie Yiren.
Zheng Ren’s fear grew over time.
Gaining new feelings and the worry of losing them…
He had never felt something like this when he was…single.
[I’ve browsed through the showtimes. The earliest showing for the latest film is within an hour. We might not have time to eat. Let’s watch the movie first.]
Zheng Ren felt relieved after reading Xie Yiren’s reply.
However, there should have been a lot of movies screening at the same time. What would be the newest movie premiering now?
The question flashed across Zheng Ren’s mind.
He should do whatever Xie Yiren wanted, why was he thinking so much?
[I’m in the changing room, just tell me when you’re ready to leave.]
[You’re not doing ward rounds?]
[I completed my rounds before surgery today. Su Yun just texted me that the ICU patient is in the diuretic phase and has regained consciousness.]
[Great, give me 5 minutes.]
[No need to rush.]
Zheng Ren tightly grabbed the phone in his hand, his heart full of affection.
Life was great. He was able to watch a movie with Xie Yiren after successfully completing a surgery.
He had totally forgot about buying movie tickets.
