Chapter 49: Chapter 49: I Will Guarantee

At nine in the morning, Mr. Qin’s instructional session began right on time.

Perhaps because he now had a solid grasp of Yan Feifan’s and Yu Suye’s abilities, Mr. Qin directly moved on to teaching them the technique of suturing millimeter-level blood vessels under a microscope.

This was the culmination of Mr. Qin’s years of practice and experience, and both Yan Feifan and Yu Suye were completely focused, not daring to let their attention wander for even a moment…

After lunch, Yan and Yu continued their practical training in the emergency department…

A little after seven in the evening, Yan Feifan, who had just finished treating a patient with a knife wound, suddenly received a call from Tian Yu.

“Mr. Yan, I’m lost! I can’t get out!”

Hearing the tearful voice, Yan Feifan asked with concern, “Where are you right now?”

“Binhai University.”

“I came to find you as soon as school let out.”

“I took the subway to Binhai University, but once I got inside, I couldn’t find my way out. I’ve been looking for the west gate and can’t find it.”

“I tried calling Ruoruo, but she’s not picking up.”

After listening to her pitiful tale, Yan Feifan explained, “My sister went back to Happiness Garden after work. She has to pack for the move tomorrow. She’s probably still on the subway or the bus and didn’t hear your call.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle. “Xiaoyu, I never knew you were such an airhead with no sense of direction.”

“You can’t even tell north from south.”

“Mr. Yan, I’m freaking out over here, and you’re teasing me…” Tian Yu’s anxious, petulant complaint came through the phone.

Yan Feifan thought for a moment and said, “Xiaoyu, I can’t come pick you up right now…”

“How about this: ask a student to walk you to the nearest school gate, then take a taxi to the south gate of the Affiliated Hospital.”

“When you get here, just give my phone a quick ring, and I’ll come get you.”

“Okay…”

Tian Yu’s somewhat embarrassed voice came through the phone again. “I’ve already asked several people for directions, but I still couldn’t find my way out.”

“It’s all this campus’s fault. It’s just too big.”

“I guess I’ll just have to be shameless and ask a kind student to walk me out…”

After ending the call with Tian Yu, Yan Feifan caught sight of Yiyi standing in the corner of the cubicle out of the corner of his eye.

“Why are you here again?”

Yiyi said flatly, “You should be asking yourself that. The probability of my appearance increases greatly when you’re nervous and uneasy.”

“Yan Feifan, are you worried that girl won’t show up and is standing you up? Or do you just lack confidence in yourself?”

“You did talk a big game in front of Wang Chuan, after all.”

Yan Feifan huffed, “This is a minor scar removal surgery. I’ve run simulations on it no less than thirty times. How could I lack confidence?”

Yiyi scoffed quietly, “Tch, you’re just fooling yourself. If you were really so confident, would you need to run simulations over and over again?”

Yan Feifan’s face flushed as he retorted, “I’m not lacking confidence. I’m dedicated to refining my skills, striving for perfection.”

After a pause, he humbled himself a bit. “Yiyi, you’re objective and rigorous. Evaluate my surgical simulations. Are there any flaws?”

Yiyi came closer to Yan Feifan, looked him directly in the eye, and said, “The simulation process for the surgery is, naturally, perfect.”

“The question is, can you replicate it with one hundred percent accuracy in a real-world operation, without any external factors affecting you?”

“Yan Feifan, you know that I *can* do that…”

Yan Feifan cut Yiyi off bluntly. “Don’t even think about it. And thank you for your evaluation.”

“Yiyi, you can disappear now…”

At 7:25 PM, Yan Feifan met Tian Yu at the hospital’s south gate.

He saw her in her school uniform, a backpack slung over her shoulders, standing with a young man in glasses.

Yan Feifan walked over, and Tian Yu eagerly made the introduction. “Mr. Yan, this kind big brother, Yao Xin, brought me here on a bike.”

“Yao Xin, thank you!” Yan Feifan said politely.

“Don’t mention it. It was on my way!”

Yao Xin replied a bit shyly, then got on a nearby shared bike and left.

Tian Yu waved at Yao Xin, then picked up her phone and sent a voice message. “Ruoruo, I found Mr. Yan. Don’t worry.”

She put her phone away and explained, “Mr. Yan, right after I got off the phone with you, Ruoruo called.”

Then, Tian Yu rubbed her stomach and looked at Yan Feifan with a pitiful expression. “Mr. Yan, I’m so tired and hungry!”

“You can take my card…”

Yan Feifan stopped mid-sentence and said with a sigh of resignation, “The hospital isn’t small either. I’m genuinely worried you’ll get lost again.”

“How about this: there’s a vending machine in the emergency hall’s family waiting area. You can get some bread or crackers to tide you over for now…”

Just as he was leading Tian Yu into the emergency hall, a young nurse, Ye Lin, hurried over to greet them.

“Mr. Yan, the girl with the scar, Liu Yan, is here.”

Yan Feifan’s face lit up. He started to run, but then he remembered his little tagalong, Tian Yu.

“Ye Lin, this is my little sister. Can you help look after her for a bit?”

Without waiting for Ye Lin’s reply, he took off running.

When Yan Feifan arrived at his work cubicle, he saw Liu Yan, a young woman with a short ponytail, standing with an attractive woman in her thirties or forties who wore a Korean-style bun, and a plainly dressed young man in his early twenties.

Liu Yan said timidly, “Mr. Yan, I’m here.”

She then introduced the others, “This is my boss from the restaurant, Mrs. Xia, and this is my cousin, Liu Sheng.”

“They were worried about me and insisted on coming along.”

Liu Sheng sized Yan Feifan up and asked suspiciously, “You’re really not charging anything? This isn’t one of those scams where you get her on the operating table, make an incision, and then claim there are all sorts of problems that are going to cost a lot of money, is it?”

“I’ve read about plenty of those rackets online.”

Just as Yan Feifan was about to explain, the restaurant owner, Mrs. Xia, spoke up. “The Affiliated Hospital is a nationally renowned major hospital. Something like that would never happen here.”

Mrs. Xia sized up Yan Feifan and said, “I understand. The reason you’re not charging is because you’re using Liu Yan as a guinea pig to practice on.”

“But you’re so young, and just a resident. You’re not going to end up completely disfiguring her and making things worse, are you?”

Yan Feifan explained, “Liu Yan, Liu Sheng, and Mrs. Xia, it’s true I’m junior, but that doesn’t mean my skills are poor.”

“I wouldn’t have readily agreed to be the lead surgeon for Liu Yan’s operation if I didn’t have enough confidence.”

“If any serious adverse outcomes or disputes were to occur, it would very likely ruin my professional career.”

He added, “Barring any uncontrollable, unforeseen factors, I can guarantee that her post-operative result will not be worse than her current condition.”

Mrs. Xia questioned him, “Mr. Yan, you’re just a resident. What kind of guarantee can you possibly offer?”

“If something really goes wrong, Liu Yan’s entire life will be ruined…”

Just as Yan Feifan was about to explain further, a resonant baritone voice cut in. “I will act as his guarantor. Will that set your minds at ease?”

Mrs. Xia and the others looked toward the voice and saw a distinguished-looking middle-aged man striding over, followed by two men and one woman.

“I am Wang Chuan, Chief of the Plastic Surgery Center at the Affiliated Hospital and a chief physician. I will personally supervise Mr. Yan’s entire surgical procedure.”

“Should any unexpected situation arise, I will take over the operation immediately.”

“Furthermore, if the post-operative results do not meet expectations, I will personally perform another reconstructive surgery for Liu Yan.”

“Also free of charge.”

Having drawn near, Wang Chuan looked at Mrs. Xia and Liu Yan and asked in a gentle voice, “With my guarantee, are your worries now allayed?”
