Chapter 104 Surgery Successful
Dean Song personally came out and announced, "The surgery was a complete success. Xiang Wan, Yan Fei, you can rest assured!"
"Very good!"
"Great! The surgery was a success!"
Su Xiangwan sat back down in her chair and then realized that, without her noticing, deep nail marks had been left on her palms.
Su Xiangbei had just changed out of his surgical gown and was about to go see Su Xiangwan when he was surrounded by a group of people.
"Professor Su, your surgery was truly amazing."
"Professor Su, how did you determine that the best place to start was from...?"
"Professor Su, regarding the suturing technique, how did you come up with the idea of using..."
A group of doctors, much older than Su Xiangbei, surrounded him, vying to ask him their questions.
Dean Song looked at Su Xiangbei, who was surrounded by so many people, and gave him a helpless look. He was secretly pleased with himself and had no intention of helping him out of the predicament.
After all, everyone knows that Professor Su is from America and will be going back in a few days.
If I don't take this opportunity to ask him about all the questions that have been bothering me for so long, am I supposed to wait until he leaves before regretting it?
Surrounded by doctors, Su Xiangbei could only patiently answer their questions one by one.
I was finally able to get away at lunchtime.
After Gu Yanfei finished eating with Su Xiangwan, she was about to go home when she saw Su Xiangbei walking out wearing a mask and looking furtive.
"Su..." Gu Yanfei was about to greet him when she saw Su Xiangbei make a shushing gesture at her as if facing a formidable enemy.
Gu Yanfei immediately understood and quickly changed her words: "Second Brother, what are you doing..."
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Su Xiangbei didn't dare to delay and quickly gestured for Gu Yanfei to slip away with her.
Su Xiangbei finally breathed a sigh of relief after walking quite a distance.
That's terrifying!
Those doctors, so eager for knowledge, practically drained him dry.
"Second brother, what happened? You were robbed?" Gu Yanfei looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, as he looked like he had finally escaped.
"It's even scarier than a robbery!"
Su Xiangbei sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Those doctors and department heads are really draining me dry!"
As he spoke, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yanfei's eyes widened: "Second brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you?!"
Su Xiangbei nodded with a wry smile.
"Is Dean Song really that unreasonable? He didn't even prepare lunch for you?"
Su Xiangbei sighed helplessly: "Of course they prepared lunch for me, but..."
He shrugged: "I dare not go!"
Seeing his lingering fear, Gu Yanfei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright! Since you helped my brother complete the surgery perfectly, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"That's great! I don't have to go hungry anymore!" Su Xiangbei's heart skipped a beat when he saw Gu Yanxiao's radiant smile.
He immediately realized that staring at a woman like that was impolite and quickly turned his head away.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Gu."
"No...don't call me Miss Gu. Either call me Comrade Gu, or just call me Little Sister Gu!"
Gu Yanfei felt that since she already called Su Xiangbei "Second Brother," it would be too formal for him to call her Comrade Gu. It would be better for him to call her Little Sister Gu.
Su Xiangbei nodded, remembering that this wasn't America, and addressing a lady as "Miss" might seem like a remnant of capitalism.
He immediately changed his address to "Little Sister Gu" to comply with the custom.
As they talked, the two walked toward the Gu family's courtyard in the capital.
Back in the courtyard, because Aunt Liu was at the hospital with Su Xiangwan, Gu Yanfei had to cook two bowls of sesame oil noodles for Su Xiangbei and herself herself.
Su Xiangbei, who had been sitting at the table full of anticipation for nearly half an hour, was disappointed when he saw the two bowls of noodles with only watery broth and not even a single scallion.
Even with his gentlemanly demeanor, he couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment.
"This...is this the...feast you were talking about?"
Even saying the last two words felt a bit like betraying his conscience to Su Xiangbei.
"Yes! Is there a problem?" Gu Yanfei blinked.
It's important to know that, unlike Su Xiangwan, she wasn't born into a family of Shanghai's richest man.
But because she had a nanny or something similar at home since she was little, and because she always liked playing with weapons, she didn't like any of the things that girls usually like.
On the contrary, he especially liked to practice martial arts and do morning exercises with the other boys in the compound.
So even though she's in her twenties, she still can't cook.
This noodle-cooking skill is the only one I learned during the months I spent working around the stove with Mother Gu after going to the countryside!
"...No problem."
Su Xiangbei, a gentleman who values civility above all else, would naturally not bring up topics like "there's a problem."
He could only obediently pick up his chopsticks, take a mouthful of noodles, and put it in his mouth.
The moment he took a bite, Su Xiangbei's expression changed.
It took over twenty years of upbringing as a disciple of a prestigious family to keep him from spitting out the noodles in his mouth.
I forced myself to swallow it.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Gu Yanfei looked at Su Xiangbei expectantly, waiting for him to praise her.
After all, this was my first time cooking by myself!
"..."
Su Xiangbei met those bright, expectant eyes, and after a long pause, carefully chose his words: "Why don't you try it yourself?"
"Try it yourself, then taste it yourself."
As Gu Yanfei spoke, she picked up a large mouthful of food without hesitation and put it into her mouth.
The moment she took a bite, her pretty face scrunched up in pain.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
Without any hesitation, she spat out the noodles in her mouth.
"It's both sweet and sour, it's awful."
Su Xiangbei chuckled as he looked at her contorted expression: "Little Sister Gu, did you mix up the sugar and salt, the cooking wine and the vinegar?"
"Huh?" Gu Yanfei was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red, and she said, "Maybe, it really is..."
Su Xiangbei sighed helplessly and stood up: "I'll do it!"
With that, he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.
Su Xiangbei, dressed in a shirt and trousers, made his already tall and slender figure appear even more upright.
From this angle of the dining table, Gu Yanfei could see his flawless profile.
Beneath her long eyelashes, her deep eyes are captivating without you even realizing it.
The gold-rimmed glasses on his high-bridged nose further accentuated his inherent noble air.
"Sizzle!"
The sound of eggs hitting the oil brought Gu Yanfei back to reality.
She then realized that she had been staring at a man for so long without realizing it.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Yanfei quickly turned her head and raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks.
