93: Operation

Ren Tingfeng took Shi Xu's assurance to heart.

Now, he had no more worries.

"Okay, I agree to your terms."

"For something that benefits the future of humanity, there's nothing I can refuse."

"I'll make sure to protect myself well."

Ren Tingfeng smiled, his expression one of helplessness.

Shi Xu nodded. He knew Ren Tingfeng would probably need a long time to process this, so he didn't linger. He stood up and bid farewell.

Ren Tingfeng didn't try to keep him. After Shi Xu left, he stared alone at the wedding photo of him and Wu Jingwen by the TV, lost in thought.

When Shi Xu returned, he saw Su Mianmian rush over, her face full of anxiety, and he knew that deep down, she wasn't as calm as she appeared.

"Mianmian, he agreed."

"Our research can proceed."

He didn't tease Su Mianmian, directly telling her Ren Tingfeng's decision.

Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian couldn't help but jump up and hug Shi Xu, "Shi Xu, that's wonderful!"

She had been worried that Ren Tingfeng wouldn't agree, and now her worries were finally gone.

How could Su Mianmian not be happy?

Shi Xu stiffened all over from Su Mianmian's hug. Her body was soft, and he was afraid his muscles were too hard and might hurt her.

But he didn't want to push her away. He greedily reached out and hugged her back.

Su Mianmian didn't notice Shi Xu's unusual reaction; she was currently immersed in joy.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mianmian finally realized their current posture was a bit awkward.

"Shi Xu, I'm sorry!"

"I was just too excited."

Su Mianmian let go of Shi Xu's waist, her face shy.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, like a half-ripe apple.

Shi Xu reached out and ruffled her hair, indicating it was fine.

A silence fell between them. Su Mianmian was shy, and Shi Xu was worried that speaking would make her even shyer.

When Su Jinxuan came out, he saw Su Mianmian and Shi Xu looking at each other in silence.

He raised a hand to scratch the back of his head, looking completely puzzled.

What was with these two? The atmosphere was strange.

"What's wrong with you two?"

"Shi Xu, are you bullying my sister?"

Su Jinxuan walked up to Shi Xu, his face full of suspicion, and patted him, saying unhappily, "

Seeing this, Su Mianmian quickly pulled him, "No, no, Shi Xu isn't bullying me."

Her eager demeanor made Su Jinxuan feel a bit disgusted.

How could he have such a silly sister?

Never mind, never mind. No matter how silly, she was still his biological sister; he couldn't be disgusted.

After brainwashing himself, Su Jinxuan reached out and lightly patted Su Mianmian's head, saying with a sigh of disappointment, "I'm trying to help you!

Why are you siding with an outsider?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly, looking at Su Mianmian with a truly pained expression.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan with confusion, as if she didn't understand how she was siding with an outsider.

Su Jinxuan didn't want to explain. He shook his head and turned to leave.

He shouldn't have come over just now. Anyone who gets involved in Su Mianmian and Shi Xu's affairs will get a heart attack.

Seeing Su Jinxuan leave, Su Mianmian looked completely puzzled.

"Shi Xu, what's wrong with my brother?"

"I feel like I don't really understand him?"

Su Mianmian turned to look at Shi Xu, asking with confusion.

Seeing that she truly didn't understand, Shi Xu couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and patted her head, praising, "It's nothing, just keep it up."

Su Mianmian: "???"

She couldn't understand what these two grown men were talking about.

Ren Tingfeng's agreement accelerated Su Mianmian's urging of Shi Xu to build a sterile operating room.

Actually, under current conditions, there was no need to build a sterile operating room, but Su Mianmian thought that Ren Tingfeng didn't trust their medical skills very much, so she still felt it would be better to build one.

Mother Shi and Father Shi had found a lot of medical equipment back then, so building this was very simple for them.

It only took a few days for Shi Xu and Xu Qing to build it.

Su Mianmian took a look, then nodded to Shi Xu and said, "You built it really fast."

Shi Xu gave her a helpless smile. With her frequency of urging them every few hours, it would be difficult for them not to build it quickly.

They had to build this sterile operating room for her, even if it meant working overtime.

Su Mianmian seemed to sense Shi Xu's teasing, and she gave him an innocent look.

Shi Xu smiled and didn't expose her.

Ren Tingfeng's surgery was scheduled for the evening. When he arrived, his face was a bit pale.

Su Mianmian carefully examined him, and after confirming there were no issues and the surgery could proceed, she administered the anesthetic.

After the anesthetic, Ren Tingfeng fell into darkness.

Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan assisted Su Mianmian. The two of them were more meticulous and understood some medical knowledge.

Su Jinxuan had even crammed knowledge these past two days, assuring before the surgery that he wouldn't hold Su Mianmian back.

Su Mianmian smiled and told him to do his best.

Shi Xu didn't say anything, but Su Mianmian instinctively trusted him.

Perhaps his expression was too calm, without any panic or worry, which made people more inclined to trust him.

Everything was ready, and Su Mianmian began to draw Ren Tingfeng's blood.

His blood was deep black. If this were to appear outside, people might suspect he was a zombie.

The blood flowed out little by little. Su Mianmian calculated when the initial blood in Ren Tingfeng's body had finished flowing out, then she stopped the bleeding.

His liver has a bit of a problem; we need to deal with it.

You two hand me the tools in a moment.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan, saying seriously.

Anesthetizing Ren Tingfeng wasn't just for drawing blood; the main purpose was to cut off the growth next to his liver.

She had only discovered this two days ago. Before, she had been so focused on his blood that she hadn't noticed his liver also had a slight issue.

Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan nodded, and Su Mianmian began the surgery.

Her technique looked very professional at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could see fine beads of sweat on her face.

Su Mianmian kept telling herself in her heart, don't be nervous, don't be nervous.

Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan were fully focused throughout, working together.

Whatever Su Mianmian asked for, they handed it to her.

Only Su Mianmian's voice and the sound of machines resonated in the operating room.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mianmian finally finished cutting everything out.

She breathed a sigh of relief and, without delay, began to stitch the wound.

When everything was completed, she finally nodded.

"Okay, let him stay here for observation."

"As long as he doesn't develop a fever tonight, he'll be out of the danger period."

Su Mianmian said as she walked out.

Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan nodded, the two of them responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

Xu Qing and the others stood anxiously at the door. When they saw the door open, they excitedly crowded around.

"The surgery went smoothly. He'll be fine once he gets through the danger period tonight."

"You all go do whatever you need to do."

Su Mianmian waved her hand at them, her voice weak.

A simple surgery had drained all her energy. She truly wasn't cut out for this.

"Mianmian, you're amazing!"

"You actually managed to complete a surgery."

Mother Shi emerged from somewhere, looking at Su Mianmian with excitement and saying.

Su Mianmian smiled. How was she amazing?

She had studied surgical procedures for a year in her space.

Even now, recalling those experiences, she still felt terrified.

Those simulated teaching instructors, they were truly merciless.

If she didn't do well, she would be punished, and the punishments were especially varied.

Recalling it now, Su Mianmian felt goosebumps rise.

"Mom, I'm not as amazing as you say."

"The vegetables you're researching are excellent. I wonder if I can have some tomorrow."

Su Mianmian smiled at Mother Shi, her face full of anticipation.

How could Mother Shi refuse Su Mianmian? She patted her chest and promised to personally cook for her tomorrow.

Su Mianmian nodded happily.
