Chapter 544: Chapter 543: A High-Five Pledge

After getting off work, since Feng Jian was still at Binhai University with Xv Fang recruiting volunteers, Yu Suye drove Yan Feifan back to Zuimo Court.

While driving, Yu Suye listened to Yan Feifan recount what Pan Lirong had said, then asked in confusion, "Feifan, it’s not like you’re performing a judicial medical appraisal. That guy, Zhou, is the one paying you to do the examination."

"So why would Mr. Pan say something with such an obvious undertone?"

Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, "I’ve thought about it carefully, and I have one theory that feels plausible..."

"Given Mr. Qi’s authority and influence in the medical community, other medical appraisal institutions wouldn’t dare to overturn his diagnosis without absolute certainty."

"This Zhou Guangji... he’s likely worried that the judicial appraisal agencies aren’t skilled or equipped enough to find anything."

"And Mr. Cao, the one who lost his grandson, is terrified Mr. Qi really will find something wrong."

Yu Suye couldn’t help but laugh. "Feifan, you’re talking in circles. It sounds like a tongue twister."

After a pause, she asked doubtfully, "So by that logic, is that Zhou guy convinced there’s something wrong with him?"

"Is that why he’s sparing no expense and pulling strings to get Mr. Qi to handle his examination?"

Yan Feifan sighed softly. "It’s hard to say. Who knows what that guy is really thinking."

"Based on the test results we have so far, the guy is in pretty good health."

He couldn’t help but add, "The guy married such a venomous-tongued woman and lasted nearly five years with her. I’m so impressed I could kowtow."

"Su Ye, you should listen to the audio from their dashcam. It’s beyond anything you could possibly imagine..."

Then Yan Feifan suddenly backtracked. "No, don’t listen. You absolutely can’t listen. It wouldn’t be good if you picked up any of her bad habits!"

Yu Suye smiled. "It’s not like I’ll turn into a shrew just from listening to it once..."

When they got home, Yan Feifan saw that there wasn’t an enticing dinner laid out on the dining table as usual and realized his oversight.

Du Qiu had gone to the villa on Phoenix Tail Mountain.

The villa still needed more tidying and organizing. Besides, his sister wanted to entertain a few more groups of guests during this time to satisfy her vanity and need to show off.

"Su Ye, let’s just order takeout for dinner. We can just have something simple."

Ever since Mrs. Du had been with them, Yan Feifan had grown much lazier. He rarely set foot in the kitchen unless it was absolutely necessary.

Even someone with as much self-control as Yan Feifan had been slowly spoiled by the comfortable lifestyle.

This was a perfect illustration of the wise old saying: it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance back to frugality.

Yu Suye hummed in agreement, took out her phone, and called a popular restaurant near their residential complex. She ordered a few of Yan Feifan’s favorite dishes, along with some of her own.

"Feifan, are you still following up on Zhou Guangji’s diagnosis tomorrow?"

Yan Feifan flopped onto the sofa. "Tomorrow, I’m sticking to my original schedule—neurosurgery in the morning, trauma surgery in the afternoon."

"Besides, Zhou Guangji’s full test results won’t be ready until Wednesday morning. Mr. Miao still has to give him a psychiatric evaluation."

"I’ll rejoin them for the diagnosis on Wednesday afternoon."

At this, Yan Feifan heaved a long sigh.

"Su Ye, I’ve realized something bad. These fixed appointments are taking up way too much of my time each week."

"When something unexpected happens, it puts me in a reactive position, and I get completely swamped."

Yan Feifan said with a grimace, "The two-day housewarming and celebration over the weekend has put me behind on several surgical plans."

Yu Suye sat down next to Yan Feifan and said softly, "It’s more than that. We’ve been together for a while now, and we still haven’t had one proper date."

Yan Feifan gave an apologetic smile. "Things will get better once this busy period is over."

"And once Baining Medical Technology’s surgical robot launches, I should be able to free myself from the intraspinal tumor puncture and injection surgeries."

"Then..."

Yan Feifan said hopefully, "I’ll take a proper vacation for a few days. Without my sister. Just you and me. We’ll go on a real trip."

Yu Suye’s face lit up with excitement. "Yes, yes! When that happens, we’ll find a scenic, secluded place and just enjoy a few days in our own little world."

But Yu Suye’s excitement quickly deflated. "Sigh, that kind of life is probably just something to dream about."

"If it’s not spinal canal tumors, some other new patients will just pop up."

"You’re destined to never be idle..."

Yu Suye rested her head on Yan Feifan’s shoulder and said softly, "Just knowing you want to is enough for me. I’m content."

Her words moved Yan Feifan, but also made him feel a little guilty.

’Thinking back,’ he mused, ’Su Ye and I have been together for a while now, but I’ve never gone out of my way to buy her a gift. I haven’t even given her a single bouquet of flowers.’

At this thought, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but look forward to hearing about that jade and jewelry company Zeng Ni had mentioned.

He reached out and stroked the top of Yu Suye’s head. "Even robots have downtime for major maintenance."

"The next national holiday... isn’t until National Day."

Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, "Too many people travel during the National Day holiday. How about this? We’ll plan ahead and I’ll rearrange my vacation days."

"I will definitely squeeze out three to five days of free time before October, and we’ll go relax together!"

"Really?"

Yu Suye instantly perked up, her face full of disbelief.

Meeting her sparkling, alluring eyes, Yan Feifan nodded firmly. "A gentleman never goes back on his word."

Yu Suye raised her hand. "Feifan, let’s seal it with a high-five..."

Just then, Yan Feifan’s phone started ringing.

It was a call from Xv Fang.

"Mr. Yan, with the full support of the medical school’s leadership, Feng Jian and I tested a total of 1,151 university students today. We found two who had a noticeably drowsy reaction to the sound of the rain."

"Only two?" Yan Feifan was surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Yan, really, just two," Xv Fang replied cautiously over the phone.

Yan Feifan thought for a moment, then said, "Xv Fang, you and Feng Jian have worked hard. Let’s call it a day."

After a pause, he added, "Continue again tomorrow..."

Yu Suye waited for Yan Feifan to end his call with Xv Fang before blurting out, "One in five hundred and eighty? The ratio is that low!"

Yan Feifan analyzed softly, "In a classroom environment, and during a test no less, the students would subconsciously be more focused and would fight against any sleepiness."

"Also, even if they did feel slightly drowsy, the students might have doubted the feeling, been unsure, and not stood up."

"I believe the number of students who actually have a drowsy reaction to the rain sound is much higher than two."

Yan Feifan said nonchalantly, "This is just a simple screening. The main purpose is to find a few people who have a clear reaction, like me and Mr. Wang, to confirm the existing results."

"For a truly precise test, we would need to have them wear EEG monitors and check them one by one."

At this, Yan Feifan sighed again. "This ratio indicates that the future research is definitely going to be time-consuming and labor-intensive."

Yu Suye chuckled. "What’s there to worry about? If you put out a call for help right now, I’m sure tons of people would come running."

"I don’t have that much time to spend on it right now."

Yan Feifan picked up his phone again. "I’ll contact Dr. Qiu and set up a time to discuss this research."

"I’m hoping she can proactively take on the bulk of the work..."
