"Isn’t that a bit of a double standard?"
Yan Feifan chuckled. "The patient Zhao Xiaoting brought is good practice and pays well. Zeng Ni, on the other hand, just wants to make money off of me."
"Besides, after what Zeng Ni pulled, she’s lucky I haven’t blacklisted her completely."
Yu Suye muttered under her breath, "So petty... holds such a grudge..."
At 9:10 AM, a fully prepared Yan Feifan walked into the operating room. As he approached the operating table, he noticed the patient, Cui Bo, staring at him intently.
It made Yan Feifan a little uncomfortable.
"Cui Bo, this surgery will take nearly seven hours. It’s going to be very uncomfortable for you to just lie there wide awake."
"What’s more, the CRACKING sound of bone breaking will make you nervous, maybe even terrified."
Yan Feifan suggested, "Why don’t you just sleep through it? You’ll wake up, and the surgery will be over."
"After the surgery, there will be a long period where you’ll be in too much pain to sleep, even when you want to."
Cui Bo shook his head. "Mr. Yan, I can handle lying still, and I won’t be scared. I was awake for my last surgery, too."
"Most importantly, during today’s surgery, I’ll get to chat with some beautiful ladies!"
Cui Bo turned his head toward Yu Suye on the other side of the table and asked, "Mrs. Yu, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Do you like to go to bars?"
"Got a favorite cocktail?"
"Mrs. Yu, not to brag, but I’m actually pretty well-known for the cocktails I mix..."
Cui Bo started to boast, completely missing the look in Yan Feifan’s eyes sharpening, or how Meng Yao and Ye Lin were shaking with the effort of holding in their laughter.
’This guy was really flirting with death and didn’t even know it!’
Yu Suye’s eyes crinkled with amusement. "Kiddo, if you keep this up, I’m afraid you won’t be able to mix any more cocktails."
Cui Bo said with an expression of complete trust, "Mrs. Yu, I have faith in Mr. Yan. As his colleague, you should have even more faith than I do."
Yu Suye let out a sly little laugh. "Oh, Mr. Yan’s skills are impeccable, no doubt. But, he does have one little flaw."
"What flaw?" Cui Bo asked, curious.
"He’s rather petty!"
Yu Suye replied, then added, "Oh, and kiddo? I forgot to mention, I already have a boyfriend."
"It’s that very same Mr. Yan you have so much faith in..."
Cui Bo let out a strangled gasp and whipped his head around to look at Yan Feifan.
He was just about to open his mouth to explain when he saw the anesthesiologist lower the anesthetic mask over his nose and mouth...
