My daily work as a doctor: My treatment value is increasing.

"Thank you for the compliment, Doctor." Her round eyes curved into two crescent moons, revealing two sharp canine teeth.

Lu Renxin's worries about her were dispelled by her smile, and he resumed his playful mood: "What doctor uncle! Call me brother!"

There were no other patients waiting, so Lu Renxin was happy to chat with Chen Yuanyuan a bit more. The more he learned about her, the more he felt sorry for the little girl.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, her previously enthusiastic mood soured. She pursed her lips and hesitantly spoke to Lu Renxin:

"Doctor, I need to ask you for a favor."

"Hmm?" Lu Renxin asked.

"If I unfortunately die, remember not to tell Grandma. Just say that after I recovered from my illness, I didn't want to go to school and went to work somewhere else. Don't let her be sad for me."

Lu Renxin: ...What kind of nonsense are you thinking about, kid?

Could such a minor surgery really lead to death? He planned to give her a piece of his mind.

But Chen Yuanyuan spoke these words with utmost seriousness, showing her fearlessness in the face of death, as well as her concern and reluctance to part with her grandmother.

Lu Renxin remembered what she had just said—that her mother had died on the operating table during tumor surgery—and suddenly understood Chen Yuanyuan's worries.

In her naive understanding, surgery was a matter of life and death, and she was afraid that she would not wake up like her mother, and that her grandmother would have to bury her child.

Looking into her stubborn eyes, Lu Renxin sighed helplessly to himself: What a silly girl. Your problem is so minor that it doesn't even qualify you for major surgery.

But then he thought about it again and felt a tightness in his chest.

Is the reason why this little girl, who was abandoned by her father and can only rely on her grandmother, didn't want her grandmother to come with her simply because her grandmother has difficulty walking?

Or are you worried that the elderly person won't be able to handle the shock after your death?

Lu Renxin resisted the urge to pat her head, maintaining his composure as a doctor, and comforted her:

"What are you thinking? How could surgery on your buttocks be life-threatening? Don't overthink things, kid. Your mother's illness is completely different from yours."

"Um, but in novels and TV dramas, people always die during surgeries." Chen Yuanyuan sniffed, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

Those wicked novels and TV dramas! Look what they've done to the flowers of our motherland!

Lu Renxin shook his head helplessly and admonished, "Read less novels and more books in the future."

"Okay, doctor."

How did he become an uncle again? This kid looks so young!

Call me Doctor Brother!!!

……

As the anesthesia took effect, Yuanyuan's eyelids gradually became heavy as she lay on the operating table.

After she fell completely asleep, Lu Renxin's movements were fluid and efficient: incision, drainage, rinsing, and drainage... every step was precise and meticulous.

Surgeries performed by novice resident physicians like him need to be conducted under the guidance of senior physicians.

Today, Director Yuan is here to support the event. He has high hopes for these newcomers and has chosen to come and take a look in person.

The more I looked at him, the more astonished I became: Did I have this level of skill when I first started as a doctor? He's truly a force to be reckoned with!

Lu Renxin was completely immersed in his role as a doctor and did not notice Director Yuan's shock and admiration.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed surgery*1. Healing value +32]

After the surgery, Chen Yuanyuan was taken to the postoperative observation room. As the anesthesia wore off, she groggily opened her eyes.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above him, it took him a moment to realize he had just undergone surgery: "Really? I'm still alive?"

Hearing this, Lu Renxin, who was standing nearby, was both amused and exasperated: "So you never believed me all along, you suspicious little kid!"

When Chen Yuanyuan saw the familiar face, she pursed her lips shyly.

"Alright, now you finally believe me, right?" Lu Renxin's tone softened involuntarily as he comforted her, "If you change your dressings properly every day and listen to me, you'll be discharged soon."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, grinning to reveal her signature little tiger teeth: "Okay, Doctor! I promise I'll listen to you!"

……

Three days later, Zheng Qiang arrived in Anyuan County with his large bags of luggage. After Lu Renxin helped him settle in, it was already lunchtime.

As the host, and as a native of this place, how could I not treat my guests well?

Lu Renxin pulled him toward a specialty restaurant, and also picked up a bottle of his father's treasured wine, intending to drink until they were completely drunk.

Zheng Qiang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, let's just have a simple meal. I'll go back and prepare the filming equipment and script later, and we can start tomorrow."

"So fast!" Lu Renxin exclaimed in surprise. It seems that Brother Qiang is also a decisive person.

We could only follow Zheng Qiang's suggestion and take him to the food street downstairs from the hospital for a quick meal, planning to take him to try some local delicacies later when we had more time.

As a place where people gather, hospitals have stalls all year round, and the area downstairs is always bustling.

Both medical staff and patients' families are happy to have their meals here, and patients are provided with light meals.

Lu Renxin had eaten quite a bit during this time, and he listed the characteristics of each place to Brother Qiang: "This place has particularly authentic snail rice noodles, and the fried noodles over there are also very delicious..."

"Luosifen? Let's have luosifen!" As a lover of strong flavors, Qiang Ge's eyes lit up; he really enjoys this kind of food.

As the two approached the stall, Lu Renxin heard a familiar voice: "Boss, one order of extra spicy snail rice noodles... never mind, just mild will do..."

He spotted Chen Yuanyuan acting suspiciously at a glance.

This kid! He sneaks out to eat as soon as he feels a little better! I complain to him every day that the hospital meals are too bland, but I never expected him to sneak out and eat snail rice noodles.

Luckily, she was quite restrained and didn't choose the spicy or extra spicy option, opting instead for mild. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget.

Lu Renxin crept closer to Chen Yuanyuan, trying not to make a sound, and stood behind her like a ghost.

Chen Yuanyuan was completely unaware of what was happening; her attention was entirely focused on the pot the boss was cooking the noodles, and her mouth was practically watering.

"Chen Yuanyuan".

Hearing her name called, she was startled and turned around to see Lu Renxin with a serious expression.

"You're still cheating on me? Do you even want to get better? Do you even want to be discharged? What did you promise me?"

"Didn't you tell me to listen to me? I told you to watch your diet, did you listen...?"

Chen Yuanyuan lowered her head like a student who had made a mistake, as if reflecting on her error.

"Alright, this bowl of noodles is mine now, consider it your punishment."

"Ah—" She instantly raised her head, her pouting lips could hold an oil bottle, filled with longing for snail rice noodles.

Unable to bear her resentful gaze any longer, Lu Renxin smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, you can choose another non-spicy one. It's on me today."

"Okay, Doctor Brother is the best!" Chen Yuanyuan's expression changed instantly, and before Lu Renxin could change his mind, she quickly made her choices: "Boss, I want to add duck feet, chicken feet, fried eggs..."
