A familiar aura emanated from all sides.
“M-My shoe fell off.”
“You can step on my foot.”
Lu Yang was a little distracted and didn’t notice him putting her hand into his pocket.
Jiang Yanzhou lifted her chin with his other hand and kissed her again.
Lu Yang’s 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, “Let’s move to the couch?” While she was dazed, he had already carried her to the couch.
They kissed for a while longer.
The man’s nose rubbed against the nape of her neck, lingering and sniffing, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, “Your scent is different today.”
Lu Yang’s 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, “What’s different?”
‘You have the scent of Chinese medicine today.”
“What kind of Chinese medicine scent?” Lu Yang asked, pursuing for an answer.
“Is there a reward for guessing correctly?”
“Answer first, and then I’ll say.”
Jiang Yanzhou leaned close to her neck again, greedily sniffed for a while, and said, “Clove.”
“You got it right, it’s clove.” Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. “Besides me, what do you want?”
Jiang Yanzhou pecked her lips and lazily whispered, “To publicly announce our relationship.”
“Not now. Mingyu is preparing for a performance lately, and he’s busy. I don’t want him to be distracted. At least wait until after the concert.”
Knowing this answer long ago, Jiang Yanzhou said, “I want to wash your hair.”
Before Lu Yang could respond, her phone suddenly rang.
“Wait. Let me take a call.”
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.
“Senior, what’s up?
“Junior sister, I’m performing an ALCAPA surgery. The patient’s medical records, test reports, and surgical plan have been sent to your email. Do take a look at them while I explain.”
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, “The 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.”
“According to the laws of physics.” Lu Yang focused her attention and spoke as concisely as possible. “First, 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.”
Gu Liye’s voice came through the phone, but it wasn’t directed at her. “Continue the surgery according to Junior sister’s idea. I will take responsibility for any consequences. ”
“Yes.”
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.
“Dr. Lu, I’m Xu Wei. Director Gu asked me to tell you that the patient is doing well, and the surgery was successful.”
Upon reading the message, Lu Yang finally relaxed her suspended heart.
She felt relieved and, her gaze met Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes at that moment. He was staring at her intently, with a somewhat peculiar expression.
“Are you angry?” Lu Yang smiled and asked, “Or are you jealous?”
“Both. ”
Lu Yang leaned forward, cupped his face in her hands, and gave him a kiss. “Are you still mad?”
“I’m not mad anymore.”
Lu Yang spoke slowly. “When I was young, I admired my grandparents a lot. My love for medicine comes from them.”
“My 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.”
She continued, “My 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.”
“For them, life and medicine had no essential difference. I grew up in such an environment.” Lu Yang was explaining to him her reason for neglecting him.
Silently, a flame ignited between the man’s limbs.
The two of them were tightly squeezed in the small space of the couch. Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze burned as he couldn’t 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, “Jiang Yanzhou….”
