Yu He's nimble fingers quickly blocked Qi Nan's scalpel with a silver needle, preventing it from severing a nearby nerve.
"Thank you," Qi Nan's heart pounded. He had narrowly avoided causing a major disaster due to his own mistake.
At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Yu He's focus. He had always considered himself to have good concentration, but this shock was so sudden that it had startled even him. Yet, Yu He remained as steady as a mountain.
"Why did you push me?!" the female doctor, who had just been shoved out, demanded from the person behind her.
The male doctor was indignant. "I didn't push you!"
Someone whispered, "Don't make noise, don't disturb the nameless divine doctor..."
"Get out!" Yu He commanded coldly.
The doctors trembled, all subdued by her chilling aura.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, can you..."
"Within one minute, everyone who moved just now gets out. If you can't control yourselves, you'll all be kicked out!"
The female doctor was about to explain, but Yu He gave her no chance.
Yu He disliked being disturbed while working, especially during surgery. Not to mention these strangers, even Qin Beiting wouldn't receive a pleasant look from her.
The observing doctors exchanged glances, seemingly afraid they would all be expelled. They quickly pushed out the five people who had moved and had them leave.
Although those five were unwilling and felt innocent, they still went out.
Qi Suilin was among them. Seeing that Yu He was completely unaffected by their actions, he looked at her with a higher regard, and his sense of defiance grew.
The few observing doctors who remained dared not move, not even to breathe heavily, fearing they would all be kicked out.
As time slowly passed, the observing doctors grew tired of standing. Yu He, however, was still engrossed in the surgery.
To possess such a high level of concentration and endurance at such a young age was truly remarkable.
Finally, the surgery entered its final stages. When Qi Nan saw Yu He remove the last silver needle, Li Yehan's finger twitched, followed by his eyelids.
Qi Nan was overjoyed. "It's successful!"
The observing doctors sighed in admiration and wanted to approach for a closer look, but no one dared to move until Yu He gave the word.
Li Yehan's tightly closed eyelids fluttered a few times before slowly opening. In the white light, he saw a few blurry figures, none of whom were clear. Only the pair of peach blossom eyes gazing at him were exceptionally clear. His deep ink-black pupils held a hint of coolness, his eyelashes thick and long, distinct strand by strand, making them very beautiful.
A single glance was enough to etch them into his memory forever...

Qin Beiting drove from the airport to Xiehe Hospital. Outside the operating room, besides Li Haiyang's family of four, Shen Yao was also present.
Unlike Li Haiyang and his wife, who paced anxiously outside the operating room door, Li Sichen was casually sitting on a bench with his legs crossed, a large bouquet of Blue Enchantress roses beside him.
Shen Yao sat opposite him, with a large bouquet of red roses next to him. The red and blue colors vied for attention.
He occasionally glanced at his watch and the operating room door, calculating when Yu He would emerge so he could be the first to present his flowers.
"I advise you not to waste your effort. Yu He doesn't like weaklings like you," Li Sichen said coldly, seeing through his intentions.
Shen Yao retorted, "When was I weak! I have four-pack abs!"
Li Sichen scoffed dismissively. "Who doesn't have abs?"
"Heh, all of you are overestimating yourselves," Qin Beiting said coldly.
Seeing the two large bouquets of roses next to them, his gaze grew even colder.
These damned men, always trying to get close to his woman when he wasn't around!
"Seventh Master Qin!" Li Haiyang immediately greeted Qin Beiting obsequiously upon his arrival.
Hearing this, Li Sichen and Shen Yao, with a sudden tacit understanding, put aside their rivalry and looked at Qin Beiting, who was their greatest competitor.
"How long has she been inside?" Qin Beiting asked, glancing at his watch.
Li Haiyang, sensing the clear displeasure in his tone, replied cautiously, "Almost nine hours."
Qin Beiting frowned in dissatisfaction.
Li Haiyang dared not speak further, fearing he might say something wrong and displease Qin Beiting. He silently retreated to the side.
"Excuse me, is the little fairy Yu He performing surgery in this operating room?" At this moment, a man carrying a large bouquet of white roses and a black suitcase approached and asked.
The man had a rugged face, but his permed woolly perm gave him a rather effeminate appearance.
Qin Beiting turned to look him over. Upon seeing the bouquet of white roses in his arms, his frown deepened. When had this girl attracted yet another troublesome admirer?
Shen Yao, seeing that the bouquet of white roses in the man's arms was no less impressive than his own, instantly felt a sense of crisis. Another love rival!
He was about to ask, "Who are you?" when he heard Qin Beiting coldly reply with two words: "No."
Mo Zhao looked utterly bewildered. He checked his phone again, then looked around, muttering to himself, "That's strange, isn't it here? Didn't they say it was here?"
Seeing that no one responded, he turned and walked away with his suitcase.
Shen Yao: ???
Shen Yao: !!!
You can do that too!
Li Sichen: Tsk, tsk, my apprentice should see Qin Beiting's true colors for telling outright lies.
"Is it really not here? But I saw the news reports, and the nurses said it was here!" Mo Zhao asked for confirmation, turning back after walking only a few steps.
Li Sichen: "It's really not."
Qin Beiting: "..."
Only then did Mo Zhao reluctantly turn and leave.
As soon as he was gone, the "Surgery in Progress" light on the operating room door went out.
The operating room door opened, and Madam Li was the first to step forward, only to be pushed aside by Shen Yao.
He presented his flowers. "Thank you for your hard work."
As it turned out, Qi Nan was the first to emerge. He looked a bit confused but accepted the flowers. "Thank you, you really don't have to be so... polite."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yao, realizing he had given the flowers to the wrong person, immediately snatched them back. "Not for you."
Qi Nan: "..."
Yu He emerged second, moving slowly. Having been under intense concentration for over nine hours, she was exhausted and hungry. If she hadn't been interrupted midway, the surgery wouldn't have taken so long.
As soon as she stepped out, she was thrust a large bouquet of red roses, behind which was Shen Yao's roguish face.
She didn't take them. Another large bouquet of blue roses forcefully pushed aside the red ones and was stuffed into her arms.
"Thank you for your hard work, my good disciple," Li Sichen said.
Yu He was very tired and just wanted to replenish her energy. She took off her mask and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Li Sichen: "..."
Shen Yao: "..."
This was not what they had expected.
Qin Beiting indifferently pushed aside the bothersome Li Sichen and Shen Yao, scooped Yu He up in his arms, and turned to leave.
"I brought you tiramisu cake. It's in the car."
Yu He was already very tired and couldn't be bothered to struggle. She let him carry her.
"How was the surgery?" Madam Li finally found an opening to speak and asked anxiously.
"The surgery was successful! The patient is awake, but he has been in a deep sleep for too long and needs time to regain consciousness. He will need to stay in the hospital for observation," Qi Nan explained.
Upon hearing this, Li Haiyang and his wife were overjoyed and wept. "That's wonderful, thank you! Thank you, nameless divine doctor!"
"That's not right. The nurse said it was here!" Just then, Mo Zhao returned with his suitcase.
