"How is it?" Professor Tan asked.
"Not bad." Jiang Zhe repeated his usual phrase.
Professor Tan's anxious gaze met Ding Yi's equally anxious one.
Jiang Zhe was about to leave but remembered something, turned back, and reminded Ding Yi, "Come back in two days for the suture removal and dressing change."
Ding Yi acknowledged.
During these two days, Jiang Zhe went to class with Professor Tan as usual to teach the second-year graduate students.
The students in the second-year class had gradually gotten used to having Jiang Zhe, the teaching assistant, around.
Two days later, Ding Yi arrived at the operating room as scheduled.
Jiang Zhe had already arrived early, saw him, lifted her chin, and motioned for him to sit down.
Then she took out her tools and medicine and treated him.
A few minutes later, she said, "Don't get it wet just yet. It should be fine in a couple of days."
"It will be okay in just a couple of days?" Ding Yi was doubtful.
