He's a physician .

"You... you are..."

It took Xiao Chen a moment to snap out of his daze. He pointed at Ye Xiu, his eyes filled with disbelief, and stammered.

"Dr. Chen, long time no see," Ye Xiu said with a smile as he looked at the shocked Dr. Chen.

"Dr. Ye, Dr. Chen, you two know each other?" Mr. Feng looked at the shocked Dr. Chen and the smiling Ye Xiu with a confused expression.

The nearby nurses were also surprised.

"Heh, we're colleagues, of course we know each other," Ye Xiu said with a smile. The events of that day were very complicated and now involved Zhao Ruobing's reputation, so he didn't want to say much. After briefly explaining to the astonished Mr. Feng, he turned his attention back to Xiao Chen. "Dr. Chen, today's surgery is in your and Dr. Zhao's hands."

"Ah, I..." Xiao Chen felt a wave of embarrassment when Ye Xiu entrusted the surgery to him. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Xiu had already turned to leave. As he watched Ye Xiu's departing figure, Xiao Chen instinctively wanted to call out to him, but the words caught in his throat.

"Dr. Chen, I didn't expect you to know Dr. Ye. Then Dr. Zhao must know him too, right?" Mr. Feng, filled with emotion as he watched Ye Xiu leave, turned to look at Xiao Chen.

He didn't think much of what Ye Xiu had said earlier and felt his question might have been a bit silly. It was normal for Dr. Ye and Dr. Chen to know each other since they worked at the same hospital.

"Yes, they should know each other," Xiao Chen responded vaguely. He didn't dare say much about Ye Xiu, knowing that Ye Xiu was a sensitive topic. A wrong word could impact Zhao Ruobing's reputation and career, as well as the hospital's, leading to serious consequences. He had stopped himself from speaking earlier for this reason.

"I see, no wonder Dr. Ye seemed so familiar with Dr. Zhao and had such confidence in her skills," Mr. Feng said, visibly more relaxed. He felt more confident about the surgery now, believing that Zhao Ruobing would do her best and that Ye Xiu's judgment of her abilities was accurate.

"How do you know this... Dr. Ye?" Xiao Chen asked, looking at Mr. Feng with curiosity. He couldn't understand how Mr. Feng knew such an outstanding doctor like Ye Xiu. If they knew him, why had they come to this department? Didn't they know that Ye Xiu's surgical skills might surpass even Dr. Zhao's?

"We were transferred from the respiratory department. Dr. Ye was our previous doctor. Actually, he wasn't directly responsible for my father's case, but he checked on us every day. Nowadays, doctors like Dr. Ye, who are not only skilled but also genuinely care for their patients, are rare..."

Respiratory department?

He's a respiratory doctor?

This surgeon with exceptional skills, proficient in multiple surgeries and performing better on the operating table than Zhao Ruobing, is a respiratory doctor?

When Mr. Feng mentioned this, Xiao Chen's mind went blank. He couldn't process anything Mr. Feng said afterward.

"Actually, if it weren't for Dr. Ye's timely detection of my father's brain tumor, we might still be in the respiratory department, unaware of the situation," Mr. Feng continued, unaware of Xiao Chen's shock.

"You said Dr. Ye is from which department?" Xiao Chen asked again, looking at Mr. Feng.

He couldn't believe that Ye Xiu was a respiratory doctor. It sounded absurd.

"Respiratory department, don't you know that, Dr. Chen?" Mr. Feng asked, surprised.

"I... of course, I know. I just got it wrong earlier, so I asked again," Xiao Chen forced a stiff smile, trying to cover up his lapse.

"Oh, I see." Mr. Feng didn't think much of it and continued talking about Ye Xiu. "Let me tell you, Dr. Chen, Dr. Ye may be young, but he's one of the top doctors in the respiratory department. In his first week at the hospital, he received banners from two patients. He's now the most popular doctor in the respiratory clinic, even more than Director Wang."

He really is a respiratory doctor!

The genius surgeon with superb skills is actually a respiratory doctor!

Xiao Chen couldn't focus on anything Mr. Feng said. The revelation about Ye Xiu being a respiratory doctor was too overwhelming. He was in shock, unable to believe it. If it weren't for his trust in Mr. Feng's honesty, he would have dismissed it as a mistake.

Lost in his thoughts, Xiao Chen didn't even realize how he reached the entrance of the operating room. It wasn't until a nurse reminded him that he snapped back to reality and helped move Mr. Feng's bed into the operating room.

After completing the pre-surgery procedures and preparations, the surgeons began to file in. Leading them was the chief surgeon, Zhao Ruobing.

"Dr. Zhao," Xiao Chen called out instinctively upon seeing her, wanting to tell her about finding Ye Xiu.

He knew Zhao Ruobing had been looking for Ye Xiu, and this was crucial information. Throughout the preparations, he had been anxious to share this news with her.

"Prepare for surgery," Zhao Ruobing said coldly, ignoring Xiao Chen as she walked towards the operating table. Just before stepping up, she turned to Xiao Chen, "Watch closely today and write a surgical report for me afterward."

"Ah, yes!" Xiao Chen responded, flustered by Zhao Ruobing's cold demeanor.

I'll tell her after the surgery!

This isn't the right place or time!

Moreover, telling her now might affect her performance!

Zhao Ruobing's brief interaction had a calming effect on Xiao Chen. He decided to wait until after the surgery to inform her, thinking it was best to avoid any potential distractions.
