The Surgeon’s Studio

Chapter 599: Head Suddenly Turned White

“Xie Yiren and the others went for a karaoke session after dinner. The time is just right. They will probably come in another half an hour,” Su Yun ignored Zheng Ren’s eye roll as he told him that.

“Okay.” Zheng Ren nodded.

Zheng Ren had already communicated with Xie Yiren about the matter.

Because there were people over from the Imperial Capital, someone with Zheng Ren’s status who was considered an ‘important person’ had to be present during the occasion.

Therefore, Xie Yiren and the group of girls went out to eat alone. They waited till it was twelve o’clock to register Ji Fei’er and Li Sheng for their wedding celebration.

Moreover, it was not just the two of them. Du Chunfang and her boyfriend, Li Liang, also volunteered to participate even though the surgery had not been completed yet.

There was nothing much to do during the car ride there. Su Yun said that the event to raise money for Du Chunfang and Li Liang had garnered them around 50,000 yuan and was more than enough to pay the hospital fees.

The two of them did not keep the rest of the money. Instead, they handed it over to the editor-in-chief of Sea City’s Metropolis Daily, Tang Xiu, and asked her to use it during her next donation drive.

‘These two people are really good.’ Zheng Ren sighed in his heart.

In most cases, they would refuse treatment after accepting the donation and just discharge automatically against medical advice. The family members would be free and unfettered with the donation, and the patients who should have accepted the kindness would be ‘abandoned’ during their treatment.

There were too many regretful things of a similar vein, so Zheng Ren was not very interested in donations.

If they were all like Li Liang and Du Chunfang, the world would be much better.

However…from what Su Yun said, it seemed that du Chunfang, Ji Fei’er, and Tang Xiu had all joined in.

Zheng Ren had not followed up on the matter recently. Su Yun and the others directly excluded Zheng Ren, saying that they wanted to give him a surprise.

It was definitely a surprise.

There were now so many people involved. When Zheng Ren thought about the numbers including even the patient couple, his head started to buzz.

Insurmountable barriers like different social classes, statuses, and identities that felt like unbreakable walls in the past were now being broken. Currently, they even exchanged information about the illnesses between patient’s family members and their attending physician.

Many people became friends because of this.

Regarding how Li Sheng and Li Liang became familiar with each other, Zheng Ren could not be bothered to guess.

They probably met each other while squatting around the fire escape when the patients were in the operating theatre.

Zheng Ren shook his head and cursed in his heart. There were so many people.

For Zheng Ren, being alone with Xie Yiren was the ideal. If he was in charge, he would not have involved so many people.

He did not expect Su Yun to actually figure out his plans and start tormenting him about it.

He was not good at organizing these sorts of activities. However, seeing that Su Yun was in high spirits, he enjoyed it.

People were really different from each other.

When they arrived at the downtown pedestrian street, Su Yun did not get out of the car. He held his cellphone in his hand and quickly chatted with many different people.

“Su Yun, it’s almost time, right?” Zheng Ren took a look. It was already eleven o’clock.

“Don’t worry. Lil Fugui is still preparing,” Su Yun said to Zheng Ren as he lowered his head. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind. “If you’re willing to stand and wait in the snow, feel free to do so.”

The man really had no sense of manners. Zheng Ren held the box of lipsticks in his hand and watched the snowfall outside. He thought about how his life had changed after going to the Imperial Capital and gradually lost track of his surroundings.

After a while, Su Yun put away his phone and said, “Boss, stop daydreaming and get ready to work!”

After he said that, Su Yun jumped out of the car.

Zheng Ren held the box of lipsticks in his hand and looked a little embarrassed.

He did not think about the weather at all. Although the temperature was not too low despite the snow, he only wore a coat and was shivering the moment he stepped out of the car.

Fortunately, his physical fitness had improved recently. Otherwise, he would not have been able to endure it.

Tightening his clothes around him, Feng Xuhui wanted to help carry the box of lipsticks but was rejected by Zheng Ren.

Snowflakes danced in the sky, the snow on the ground was almost one finger thick. It made crunching sounds when one stepped on it.

It was very quiet at night.

The crunching sounds underneath their feet broke the heart-palpitating silence.

Su Yun looked at the white and flawless ground. He hesitated for a moment before contacting the others.

The plan had been revised. He brought Zheng Ren and deliberately did not walk on the main street. Instead, they took a detour and entered from the back.

When they reached the back, footsteps came from another direction. It was the professor and Li Sheng.

“Boss!” The professor saw Zheng Ren and waved excitedly to greet him. He was carrying a violin case with his other hand and wearing a black woolen coat. He did not know where the other had gotten it from.

“Lil Fugui, are you really going to play the violin?” Zheng Ren looked at the professor’s violin case and asked helplessly.

If it were not for Su Yun asking the professor to come back, the professor would have returned to Heidelberg by now.

“Of course. How could I miss something like boss’s proposal?” Professor Rudolf Wagner’s long golden hair fluttered around with the cold breeze.

Zheng Ren was shocked. A proposal? How could he not know he was doing such a thing?

“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Su Yun walked in front and said without looking back, “When I said it was a romantic and unforgettable birthday, he immediately thought it was a proposal.”

Zheng Ren was also speechless at the professor’s ability to connect things together. However, when he saw the professor’s face full of excitement and carrying his violin all the way, he was a little touched.

Everyone came to a corner of Lover’s Lane. Su Yun made a ‘shh’ gesture and told everyone to stand close to the wall. After that, he began to leave messages in the WeChat group, muttering them out in a low voice.

“We’re ready on our end. What about you guys?”

“We’re also done here. The lights are in place,” a female voice replied.

“Boss, you stand here.” Su Yun looked at the surrounding environment and found a spot. He tapped it with the tip of his shoe.

“Oh.” Zheng Ren obediently followed his instructions.

Professional matters needed to be handled by professionals. Zheng Ren understood that.

If it was an operating table, Zheng Ren would definitely beat Su Yun with a pair of hemostatic forceps.

Standing in the middle of Lover’s Lane seven or eight steps away from the corner, Zheng Ren was holding a box of lipsticks in his hand and feeling a little embarrassed.

Su Yun looked at his phone and said, “They’re getting out of the car. Lil Fugui, get ready.”

“It’s so cold here. I’m afraid that my little lover will freeze to death,” Professor Rudolf Wagner nagged. “My hometown, the climate of the Mediterranean, the four seasons…”

“Don’t babble, just hurry up!” Su Yun looked at the message on his phone and said seriously.

The professor immediately shut up, opened the violin case, and took out the violin as he whispered, “Brother Yun, do you really want me to play Ballad No. 3 by Laiza? I feel that Schubert’s serenade is more suitable for this kind of environment.”

“Listen to the conductor,” Su Yun said rudely without even raising his head.

Zheng Ren stood in the snow with the lipsticks in his arms. Suddenly, his head turned white.

The professor did not speak anymore. Instead, he took off his gloves and picked up the violin, ready to play at any time.

“Thirty more steps.” Su Yun was like a secret agent. His voice was extremely low. After that, he did not speak anymore. Instead, he made a gesture to tell the professor and the others what they needed to do. He also left a message on his phone to tell the person in charge of the lights when their cue was.

Twenty steps…

Ten steps…

Zheng Ren was suddenly worried that Xie Yiren would be frightened.

Su Yun made a five-step gesture before making a call.

“Get ready with the lights!”
