As night deepened, at eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Lin finally returned to his dormitory.

As soon as the key was inserted into the lock, a ghostly scream came from inside.

"Holy crap! Gu Lin, you're finally back!"

Gu Lin: "..."

As soon as the door opened, a bag of potato chips flew towards him. Gu Lin caught it with a practiced ease, as if he had done it countless times.

Chen Mu was sitting cross-legged in a chair, with half a sausage in his mouth and the latest popular anime playing on his computer. When he saw Gu Lin return, he immediately looked heartbroken.

"Do you know how lonely I've been living alone these past two days?"

Gu Lin casually placed the bag on the table.

"Didn't you say yesterday that finally no one was fighting you for the toilet?"

Chen Mu instantly became self-righteous.

"That's different. Fighting for toilets is one thing, but having no one in the dorm is a different kind of terror."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked Gu Lin up and down.

"Did you skip dinner again?"

Gu Lin paused for a moment, and Chen Mu immediately understood.

"I knew it, you guys who are obsessed with currying favor will die a sudden death sooner or later."

He muttered to himself as he pulled a takeout box from the table.

"Here, I brought you some fried rice."

Gu Lin looked down and saw that it was still hot.

Thanks.

Chen Mu grunted twice.

"It's just fatherly love."

Gu Lin: "..."

The dormitory was small, with two beds, two tables, and a pothos plant that Chen Mu had been tending to half-dead on the windowsill.

The air was filled with the smells of instant noodles, disinfectant, and a faint, lingering iodine odor that couldn't be washed off.

Gu Lin sat down to eat, while Chen Mu leaned on the back of his chair and continued babbling.

"How's it going? I heard from the gastroenterology resident that the head doctor wants you to accompany him on that stomach cancer surgery tomorrow?"

"Um."

Chen Mu was immediately filled with envy.

"You've only been on rotation for a short time, no wonder they're so sour."

Gu Lin lowered his head, ate a mouthful of rice, and didn't say anything.

"I'm still in the ER drawing blood, writing prescriptions, and moving patients around every day, while you're almost at the point of needing a radical gastrectomy for stomach cancer. Why is there such a huge difference between people?"

Gu Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't you really like the ER?"

"..."

Chen Mu slumped back in his chair.

"If I keep working in the emergency room, I feel like I'll get complaints from the elderly sooner or later and have to drop out of school."

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu instantly perked up.

"A drunk man came in today. He vomited into a trash can for half an hour. After he finished, he grabbed my hand and insisted that I was his long-lost younger brother."

Gu Lin: "..."

"The most outrageous thing is that his wife was nodding in agreement."

Chen Mu imitated the other person's tone.

"Doctor, I also think you two look quite alike."

Gu Lin finally couldn't help but lower his head and laugh out loud.

Chen Mu looked at the dark circles under his eyes.

"Gu Lin, have you been quite tired lately?"

Gu Lin paused for a moment.

"good."

"Not bad at all."

Gu Lin looked down at the lunchbox and didn't speak immediately. After a while, he tilted his head and smiled at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu paused for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"No! You're not allowed to look at any documents tonight. You're forced to rest!"

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow.

"What's it to you?"

"I'm your roommate, and roommates have an obligation to keep an eye on you."

After saying that, he slapped away the CT scan data on Gu Lin's desk and stuffed it directly into his own drawer.

"Go to sleep quickly after you finish eating!"

The night was deep outside the window, while the dormitory lights shone a warm yellow.

Chen Mu was holding his computer and starting to write the patient's medical record again, muttering curses under his breath at the emergency room.

After washing up, Gu Lin lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, the system interface quietly lit up.

[Host detected as about to participate in major gastrointestinal surgery]

[Phase Task Update]

[Task Name: First Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer]

[Task Objective: To complete high-quality assistant work]

[Reward: Proficiency in standard lymph node dissection for gastric cancer]

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the last line of text.

Standard lymph node dissection for gastric cancer?

He liked the reward.

Gu Lin gently shut down the system and closed his eyes.

The next day, at 7:20 a.m., Gu Lin arrived at the hospital. The lights were on in the gastrointestinal surgeon's office, which was much quieter than usual.

There were 16 surgeries today, divided into 4 groups, with Zhou Mingyuan's radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer being the first.

Song Zhe was looking at medical records while holding a thermos when he saw Gu Lin come in, and he was clearly taken aback.

"So early?"

Gu Lin put down his bag and smiled.

I went to bed early last night.

Song Zhe was immediately delighted.

"nervous?"

Song Zhe looked at Gu Lin with the expression of someone who had been through it all.

"That's normal. The first time I underwent radical treatment for stomach cancer, I didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m.

After Song Zhe finished speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of warm water.

Gu Lin smiled, then put his bag down and pulled out a chair to sit down.

At nine o'clock, the ward rounds ended, and the two got up and walked towards the operating area.

Pushing open the operating room door, the familiar smell of disinfectant wafted out, and the monitors emitted regular beeps.

On the operating table, Zhou Mingyuan had been anesthetized and lay there quietly.

As soon as Gu Lin walked in, he heard footsteps behind him.

Very stable, very heavy.

The next second, Lin Hanchuan walked into the operating room.

The scrub nurse looked up.

"Director Lin."

The anesthesiologist sat next to the monitor.

"We can begin."

Lin Hanchuan put on sterile clothing and gloves and stood in the surgeon's position, then looked at Gu Lin.

Stand to my left.

In short, Gu Lin was directly assigned to the position of assistant.

Song Zhe, who was known for his obedience, was placed in the position of second assistant.

Under the operating lights, disinfection and draping were completed, and the abdominal surgical area was fully exposed. Lin Hanchuan reached out his hand.

"knife."

The scrub nurse immediately handed over the scalpel.

Lin Hanchuan's gaze remained calm.

"Let's begin."

Lin Hanchuan made a steady incision, and after the incision was made, the laparoscopic lens slowly entered the abdominal cavity.

The monitor lit up, and the internal structure of the abdominal cavity appeared clearly in front of everyone.

Stomach, transverse colon, greater omentum...

Lin Hanchuan's gaze swept quickly across the screen, and after confirming that there were no obvious peritoneal metastases, he nodded slightly.

"start."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surgery officially entered its main procedure.

Song Zhe was in charge of the mirror, while Gu Lin stood to the left of the surgeon.

"Raise it a little higher."

"it is good."

"Go further out."

"it is good."

Lin Hanchuan almost never needed to repeat himself a second time. Every time he spoke, Gu Lin was able to immediately guide the organization to the most comfortable position.

A few minutes later, Lin Hanchuan glanced at him, said nothing, and continued operating.

The greater omentum around the stomach began to detach, the ultrasonic scalpel emitted a low hum, the adipose tissue was separated little by little, and the anatomical structure on the screen gradually became clear.
