A familiar aura emanated from all sides.
âM-My shoe fell off.â
âYou can step on my foot.â
Lu Yang was a little distracted and didnât notice him putting her hand into his pocket.
Jiang Yanzhou lifted her chin with his other hand and kissed her again.
Lu Yangâs breath became chaotic. Her mind seemed to be shrouded in mist, and her consciousness gently drifted away. Then, when she felt his lips loosen. A low and lingering voice sounded, âLetâs move to the couch?â While she was dazed, he had already carried her to the couch.
They kissed for a while longer.
The manâs nose rubbed against the nape of her neck, lingering and sniffing, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, âYour scent is different today.â
Lu Yangâs legs were draped over his, and she sat on the couch. Her dark pupils were filled with misty moisture. After catching her breath, she asked, âWhatâs different?â
âYou have the scent of Chinese medicine today.â
âWhat kind of Chinese medicine scent?â Lu Yang asked, pursuing for an answer.
âIs there a reward for guessing correctly?â
âAnswer first, and then Iâll say.â
Jiang Yanzhou leaned close to her neck again, greedily sniffed for a while, and said, âClove.â
âYou got it right, itâs clove.â Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. âBesides me, what do you want?â
Jiang Yanzhou pecked her lips and lazily whispered, âTo publicly announce our relationship.â
âNot now. Mingyu is preparing for a performance lately, and heâs busy. I donât want him to be distracted. At least wait until after the concert.â
Knowing this answer long ago, Jiang Yanzhou said, âI want to wash your hair.â
Before Lu Yang could respond, her phone suddenly rang.
âWait. Let me take a call.â
Jiang Yanzhou stretched his arm and took the phone, handing it to her.
Glancing at it, he saw that it was a call from Gu Liye.
âSenior, whatâs up?
âJunior sister, Iâm performing an ALCAPA surgery. The patientâs medical records, test reports, and surgical plan have been sent to your email. Do take a look at them while I explain.â
Lu Yang opened her email.
An X-ray of a 7-month-old baby showed that the left atrium and ventricle were larger than normal.
The surgical plan involved taking a skin flap from the aortic wall and placing it below the pulmonary artery, using it together with the pulmonary valve flap to form a new coronary artery. This new artery could directly deliver high-pressure oxygenated blood to prevent myocardial infarction.
Gu Liye explained, âThe echocardiogram shows no problem with the repair, but the condition of the ventricle remains poor. There is also regurgitation in the mitral valve. The heart-lung machine did not allow the heart to rest and recover.â
âAccording to the laws of physics.â Lu Yang focused her attention and spoke as concisely as possible. âFirst, remove the surface scar tissue and shorten the circumference of the left ventricle. Second, change the structure of the valve from a single oval opening to two openings to prevent mitral valve regurgitation.â
Gu Liyeâs voice came through the phone, but it wasnât directed at her. âContinue the surgery according to Junior sisterâs idea. I will take responsibility for any consequences. â
âYes.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the call ended, Lu Yang curled up on the couch and continued reading the medical records, immersing herself completely, unable to escape.
Minutes and seconds passed, and after a long while, she received a message from Gu Liye.
âDr. Lu, Iâm Xu Wei. Director Gu asked me to tell you that the patient is doing well, and the surgery was successful.â
Upon reading the message, Lu Yang finally relaxed her suspended heart.
She felt relieved and, her gaze met Jiang Yanzhouâs eyes at that moment. He was staring at her intently, with a somewhat peculiar expression.
âAre you angry?â Lu Yang smiled and asked, âOr are you jealous?â
âBoth. â
Lu Yang leaned forward, cupped his face in her hands, and gave him a kiss. âAre you still mad?â
âIâm not mad anymore.â
Lu Yang spoke slowly. âWhen I was young, I admired my grandparents a lot. My love for medicine comes from them.â
âMy grandfather was a doctor at Borderless and performed numerous high-difficulty surgeries in hot and humid environments. I always wanted to follow in his footsteps.â
She continued, âMy grandfather said the day my grandmother married him was the happiest day of his life. On March 30, 1967, my grandfather held the surgical scalpel that defined his life, and my grandmother possessed the Ligusticum wallichii herb with a strong heart-boosting effect.â
âFor them, life and medicine had no essential difference. I grew up in such an environment.â Lu Yang was explaining to him her reason for neglecting him.
Silently, a flame ignited between the manâs limbs.
The two of them were tightly squeezed in the small space of the couch. Jiang Yanzhouâs gaze burned as he couldnât hold back any longer. He leaned in, covering her lips with an unprecedented passion.
Lu Yang was caught off guard and panicked. She evaded the scattered kisses that fell on her face and neck, and hurriedly said, âJiang Yanzhouâ¦.â
