Yan Feifan found it impossible to refuse an outstanding and proactive girl like Yu Suye, especially since he harbored some amorous feelings for her himself.

He also rationalized it to himself this way.

’Rejecting her under these circumstances would be an insult. We’d probably become enemies after this.’

’And once we’re enemies, a physical confrontation is sure to follow.’

With his mind at ease, Yan Feifan began his "active exploration" and successfully completed the "homework" assigned by Mr. Wang Chuan.

However, what followed was a choice between being a beast and being worse than a beast.

Dominated by his hormones, Yan Feifan didn’t hesitate for long before tentatively beginning his conquest.

He received an enthusiastic, positive response.

To avoid making too much noise, the two moved the battlefield to the attic—to Yu Suye’s room...

(14,276 words omitted here...)

The next morning, a refreshed and invigorated Yan Feifan emerged from washing up in the bathroom, only to find his sister waiting right outside the door.

"S-Sis, why are you up so early today?"

Yan Ziruo, dressed in light pajamas with her hair a mess, shoved her phone directly in her brother’s face.

"You and Su Ye weren’t very detailed about what happened last night. I thought it was no big deal."

Yan Ziruo waved the phone in her hand and huffed, "But then I saw this video and realized..."

"That rescue you and Su Ye pulled off was like something out of an action movie."

Yan Feifan took the waving phone from his sister’s hand and replayed the video to get a clear look.

Judging by the angle, it must have been filmed by a resident on the top floor of the building diagonally across from them.

Although it was nighttime, the terrace was brightly lit, and the camera’s resolution was quite high, so the video quality was pretty good.

You could clearly see what everyone was wearing, and even roughly make out their facial features.

The short video began with the man staggering toward the terrace railing.

At that moment, Yan Feifan, Yu Suye, and the others were all gathered on the west side of the terrace, huddled around the grill.

As the man toppled over the edge, Yu Suye dashed to the railing in a flash and grabbed the shoe on his foot.

Immediately after, the man’s foot slipped out of the shoe and he continued to fall, only to be caught by a pair of hands reaching through the railing.

The next part of the video was replayed in slow motion.

After the man’s foot slipped from the shoe, Yan Feifan’s actions were highlighted in the footage.

He was shown diving forward, thrusting his hands through the railing, and grabbing the falling man.

Yan Feifan watched this slow-motion clip twice, unable to resist boasting, "Sis, look at my heroic dive to save him. Wasn’t it super stylish? Super cool?"

"Stylish, cool, and totally badass,"

Yan Ziruo snatched her phone back, echoing his sentiment, then reached out and squeezed her brother’s arm.

"You’ve actually built up quite a bit of muscle without me noticing."

"Feifan, is your arm okay?"

Yan Feifan shook his head and said, "My arm’s fine, Sis, but I got a big bump on my head."

"Look, it still hurts a little!"

Yan Feifan lowered his head like a spoiled child so his sister could see the lump on top.

Yan Ziruo parted her brother’s thick, short hair and indeed found a rectangular, bluish bruise.

She rubbed it, her heart aching for him, and asked in confusion, "Your arms weren’t hurt, so how did you end up injuring the top of your head?"

Yan Feifan straightened up and explained with a smile, "I was pulled forward by a huge force, so my head slammed into the railing, didn’t it?"

"Oh, right. I should ask how those people are doing now."

Yan Feifan went back to his bedroom, took out his phone, and quickly dialed the emergency room.

His colleague in the ER who answered the phone told him that after examinations and lab tests, it was confirmed they had been poisoned by toxic mushrooms.

All six of them had now regained consciousness.

However, they were still being kept for observation to watch for any unknown neurological damage or other after-effects...

At 7:10 AM, it was time for breakfast at the Yan family home.

This time, Yu Suye came downstairs a few minutes late, and her gait was slightly unnatural.

"I pulled a leg muscle while working out this morning." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Yu Suye explained unprompted, then picked up a glass of milk from the table and downed it in one go.

"Ziruo, Feifan, I saw that video from last night, too."

Yu Suye then added a reminder, "Ziruo, it’s getting warmer. We need to be more careful about our privacy at home from now on."

"You never know if there’s a pervert hiding somewhere, secretly filming."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but laugh. "There were several girls in skimpy, revealing outfits at the Ma siblings’ barbecue."

"The person across the way was probably peeping and filming because of them."

Just then, Yan Ziruo’s voice bubbled with excitement. "This weather really is perfect for a barbecue."

"We have such a big rooftop terrace and all the grilling equipment."

"We can’t let it go to waste."

Yan Feifan glanced at his sister, then at Yu Suye, and suddenly felt a bit out of sync with them.

Before breakfast was even over, Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye had already decided: a DIY barbecue this Saturday night.

After the meal, Yan Feifan said casually, "Su Ye, since you’ve pulled a muscle in your thigh, you shouldn’t ride your bike."

"Take my sister’s car to work this morning."

"Mrs. Qin has clinic duty today, so you don’t need to go to the research office so early anyway."

Yu Suye nodded lightly. "Okay..."

Yan Feifan rode his bike to the hospital at lightning speed. As soon as he entered the south gate, Qi Xiuping popped up again.

"Mr. Yan, your rescue last night was just too cool! I’m so proud of you."

Yan Feifan was a little puzzled. "You could recognize me?"

Qi Xiuping laid on the flattery thick. "Mr. Yan, your unparalleled style could never be hidden by a few pixels."

"I recognized you the moment I saw the video."

"I never would have guessed you were so agile, Mr. Yan."

Yan Feifan gave a soft, self-satisfied laugh. "It was just an adrenaline-fueled overperformance."

"I probably wouldn’t have the guts to dive like that now."

"Slamming stiffly onto the ground really hurts."

After a pause, Yan Feifan continued, "Dr. Qi, you’ll continue your training in the emergency department today."

"I’ll come check on you around lunchtime."

Qi Xiuping immediately stood at attention and saluted. "Yes, Mr. Yan!"

After getting Qi Xiuping settled, Yan Feifan hurried to the director’s office in the Neurosurgery Department.

The moment he met with Mr. Lo, he was handed two case files.

Lo Jun sighed, a troubled look on his face. "More and more patients are showing up at our door these days."

"Some of them have connections that are just too hard to refuse."

Yan Feifan quickly flipped through the two case files in his hand and saw they were both for intraspinal tumors.

"Sir, the collaboration agreement I signed with Baining Medical Technology requires me to provide them with at least one hundred puncture-injection surgical plans."

Yan Feifan calculated aloud, "For these intraspinal tumor surgeries, let’s schedule... one or two a week."

"Any more than that, and my schedule will be too tight."

Lo Jun nodded. "Alright. I’ll put the word out that we’ll accept a maximum of two intraspinal tumor removal surgeries per week."

"There are too many special requests. We need to set a rule!"

He then chuckled. "Two surgeries. You’ll be the lead surgeon on one, and I’ll handle the other?"

Yan Feifan grinned. "Thank you for your trust, Sir."

Lo Jun laughed heartily. "Don’t thank me. You’ve earned this with your own abilities."

"Lately, the number of people visiting my home and calling to invite me for tea or dinner has more than doubled."

"And it’s all because of you."

Lo Jun glanced at his watch and stood up. "It’s time for rounds. Let’s go..."

Yan Feifan followed Mr. Lo out of the office, joined the ten or twenty people waiting outside, and the large procession left the Neurosurgery Department.

On the way to the inpatient building, Yan Feifan was stopped by Xiao Man and another very sweet-looking girl.

"Feifan, I need to do a report on what happened last night."

Xiao Man first stated her purpose, then pointed to the sweet-looking girl beside her and introduced her. "This is Zhu Lin. She works for the municipal government and is currently on a temporary assignment to gain experience at the local community level."

"She has something she’d like to ask you for help with."

Zhu Lin extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Yan. I’m friends with your medical school classmate, Dr. Guo Yiweng."

Yan Feifan shook her hand lightly.

Hearing her mention Guo Yiweng, Yan Feifan asked directly, "You’re not here about that ugly young man who’s been mooching off his parents, are you?"
