4:10 PM, Staff Cafeteria Number One.

Yan Ziruo waited for her younger brother and Yu Suye to have a bite to eat before she asked worriedly, “Feifan, Mrs. Qin didn’t take her anger out on you, did she?”

Yan Feifan shook his head. “Mrs. Qin isn’t the type to hold a grudge. She’s actually very nice. The rumors are a huge exaggeration.”

“As long as she didn’t take it out on you, that’s good.”

Yan Ziruo breathed a sigh of relief, then announced with a triumphant little laugh, “Feifan, that Mr. Pan paid the money he promised.”

“This morning, his wife personally delivered a cashier’s check for four million to the hospital’s research finance department.”

Yan Ziruo chuckled. “Feifan, that makes a total of six million, you know.”

“Just from the research stipend, you’ll be able to get…”

Realizing Yu Suye was also there, Yan Ziruo finished vaguely, “…a nice little sum of money.”

Yan Feifan was also delighted that the funds had arrived and a considerable sum would soon be his.

He said generously, “Sis, you can finally buy those things you’ve always wanted but could never bring yourself to get.”

Yan Ziruo said with reserve, “I’m not one to spend money recklessly. I’ll manage and invest the money you earn.”

“We’ll use it when you get married in the future.”

She added, “I’ve already reimbursed you for the tens of thousands that dinner cost last night. The money was transferred directly to your debit card.”

Yan Feifan hummed in agreement. “Sis, as long as you’ve got it handled. You’re in charge of all my debit cards, credit cards, and everything anyway.”

Yan Ziruo glanced at Yu Suye and explained, “Who even uses cards these days? Everyone just pays with their phone.”

“Me having the cards doesn’t stop you from spending money.”

She stood up again. “Alright, I should get back to work. You two take your time…”

Yu Suye watched Yan Ziruo disappear through the doorway before looking back at Yan Feifan. “Feifan, your sister is so good to you.”

Yan Feifan replied casually, “She’s alright, I guess.”

“But when she gets mad, she has no problem getting physical with her little brother.”

“Ruoruo would really hit you?” Yu Suye sounded skeptical.

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes at her. “Why wouldn’t she? It’s not like it happens all the time, but I’ve been on the receiving end more than a few times.”

He emphasized, “My sister is a pretty good fighter.”

Yu Suye couldn’t help but laugh. “Now I remember! I saw that video of you two clashing with those brats a while back.”

“Ruoruo really is a force to be reckoned with.”

‘Seriously, how could I have forgotten so quickly?’

Yu Suye muttered to herself, “It’s mainly because Ruoruo is so deceptive. She looks so slender, and her face seems so gentle.”

“Goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover!”

Yan Feifan chuckled, then asked, “What about Dr. Tan?”

“I went to see her this morning. We talked for an hour!”

Yu Suye reported, then continued, “Dr. Tan also asked me to tell you something. That matter we discussed before, about you helping with a patient’s plastic surgery? It fell through.”

“The patient’s parents didn’t agree. Not only that, but they’ve forbidden her from treating the patient anymore.”

Yan Feifan was taken aback for a moment. “Could you tell if Dr. Tan was upset by it?”

Yu Suye chuckled. “With my level of perception? How could I possibly tell if a psychology expert is upset?”

“Just like we have patients we can’t cure, Dr. Tan must also have cases that fail for various reasons. It should be pretty normal.”

Yan Feifan nodded in deep agreement.

After eating in silence for a while, Yu Suye spoke up again. “Feifan, you live in Zuimo Court, which is really close to the hospital. It seems like you’ve never invited colleagues or friends over, have you?”

Yan Feifan replied stiffly, “The apartment still belongs to Director Wang Chuan. It’s not our own place.”

“My downstairs neighbor has hyperacusis.”

“And I leave early and get home late every day. I don’t have time to entertain guests.”

Yu Suye looked frustrated for a second, then said with a grin, “Actually, when it comes to inviting colleagues and friends over, I’m the one who should be criticizing myself first.”

“I live in Shengjing Apartments, which is even closer to the hospital.”

“There’s no time like the present!”

She said with great seriousness, “Feifan, I’m inviting you to be a guest at my apartment tonight. I’ll make you a Jingcheng-style dinner.”

“What do you say? Won’t you do me the honor?”

Yan Feifan looked troubled. “Tonight, I need to review a patient’s case file that Zheng Ling is having someone send over.”

“Then tomorrow night?”

“Nasal deformity reconstruction surgery for the child from the welfare institute.”

“Wednesday night?”

“Writing my paper.”

“Thursday night?”

“Preparing for Friday’s intraspinal tumor resection surgery!”

“Then how about Friday night?” Yu Suye had the air of someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Yan Feifan laid it all out. “On Friday, that little guy, Tian Yu, will be here.”

He then suggested, “Su Ye, having guests over really isn’t necessary. My sister once hosted her friends at home, and it was basically an all-day ordeal.”

“With all that effort, it would be more worthwhile to just go out and have fun for a day.”

Yu Suye pursed her lips, staring at Yan Feifan for a moment.

Suddenly, she let out a laugh. “Feifan, I’m starting to see that your sister has good reason to be worried about you.”

“Worried? What’s my sister worried about?” Yan Feifan asked curiously.

Yu Suye gave a charming smile. “I’ll tell you when you come over to my place.”

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes. “If you won’t tell me, I’ll just ask my sister tonight.”

He thought of something else and asked, “Have you decided on the surgery for the disabled child from the welfare institute?”

“I have.”

Yu Suye said with a grin, “Corrective surgery for a thirteen-year-old girl’s deformed right leg.”

Yan Feifan said, “Oh,” softly. “Since you’ve decided, have Meng Yao contact the welfare institute right away to arrange for an examination.”

Just then, his phone rang.

Yan Feifan took out his phone and saw it was a call from Tian Yu’s father, Mr. Tian. He quickly answered it.

As soon as the call connected, Mr. Tian’s voice came through the phone. “Xiaoyan, I came to the hospital for a check-up today.”

“The doctors here said that at my age, it’s best to get a comprehensive heart examination.”

“This ECG, color ultrasound, and angiogram… do I have to do all of them? Can’t I just do one?”

Yan Feifan thought for a moment and explained, “Mr. Tian, you can think of these three tests like this…”

“Imagine your heart is a house. The echocardiogram checks how big the house is, if the walls are sturdy, and if there are any leaks.”

“The ECG checks if the electrical wiring is working, or if there are any short circuits or power leaks.”

“The angiogram, on the other hand, looks at the plumbing—that is, your blood vessels—to see if they’re clogged. The pipes are all internal, and no one knows how rusted they might be on the inside. An ECG and an echocardiogram can’t see that at all. Only an angiogram can.”

Yan Feifan added, “The ECG, echocardiogram, and angiogram each focus on different things. They can’t replace one another.”

“However, a cardiac angiogram does carry some risks. If you don’t have symptoms suggesting coronary heart disease, like palpitations, chest tightness, or shortness of breath, it’s best not to do an angiogram as part of a routine check-up.”

He then suggested, “Mr. Tian, how about this? If you have time in the next few days, you can come by my office.”

“I’ll run a check-up for you.”

Mr. Tian quickly replied over the phone, “Okay, I’ll find some time to come over in the next few days.”

“It’ll be a good chance to talk to you and your sister about that girl, Xiaoyu…”

When Yan Feifan ended the call with Mr. Tian, he saw Yu Suye resting her chin on her hand, watching him with a wide smile.

“Finished eating?”

“Mhm…”

“Then let’s head back!”

“What’s the rush? I spent hours helping you with your surgical practice, and I’m exhausted.”

“You can keep me company for a little longer…”
