Chapter 175 Waking Up in the Morning (3rd Update)
The morning sun slanted in through the window, casting its light upon the bed and the face of Jounouchi Hiromi, who was deep asleep.
Feeling the change in light, Jounouchi Hiromi woke up instantly, cracking her eyes open only to be met with the sharpness of the incoming sunlight, causing her to instinctively raise a hand to shield her eyes.
She squinted for a moment until she could adjust to the brightness, and then turned her attention to the bedside alarm clock.
The clock had yet to reach its set time to ring, but it seemed that Jounouchi Hiromi hardly ever got out of bed after the alarm had sounded. Since living together with Chen Yu, she had developed the habit of waking up earlier than him almost every day.
Despite Chen Yu telling her many times not to rise so early to make breakfast, Jounouchi Hiromi still maintained the habit of waking up earlier than her boyfriend.
Glancing over at Chen Yu, who was still sound asleep, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but let a tender smile spread across her makeup-free, lovely face.
Those pair of expressive eyes watched her boyfriend in his slumber, then suddenly took on a mischievous glint. She twisted a strand of her own hair between her fingers and gently tickled Chen Yu's nose with it.
Feeling an itch on his nose, Chen Yu reflexively swatted at it and rolled over to continue sleeping. After moving in with Jounouchi Hiromi, his habit of meditating at night had disappeared, and his sleep patterns gradually returned to those of a typical person.
Although as a Transcendent, Chen Yu's senses were sharp enough to detect any hostility aimed at him and life within a two hundred meter radius, he didn't have his guard up against the person beside him in bed. Since Jounouchi Hiromi was simply up to mischief with no ill intent, her actions didn't awaken him.
"I'm aware. Didn't you explain this to me already when you asked me to sign the surgical consent form?" The Principal chuckled heartily in response to Chen Yu's explanation, clearly unafraid of surgery like other patients might be: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, no need to carry any psychological burden.
I'm already over eighty years old, and it wouldn't be odd if I couldn't come off the surgical table; I'd just consider it a contribution to the medical field."
"What are you saying, Principal! How could I possibly let you not come off the surgery table?" Chen Yu understood that the Principal wished for him to be free of mental burdens, but seeing the Principal's open-minded attitude made it impossible for Chen Yu to let anything go wrong, so he assured loudly, "Rest assured, Principal, I will cleanly remove all the tumors and cure you!"
"Alright then, this old man's bones are in your hands!" The Principal, knowing that more words would only add to Chen Yu's pressure, laughed again and allowed the nurses to wheel him out of the room, heading towards the operating room. He seemed as relaxed as if he was going out for a stroll, not heading into a life-or-death surgery.
As the Principal was wheeled out of the room, Chen Yu naturally walked towards the operating room as well.
"Hey, why won't you let me perform today's surgery?" However, just outside the operating room door, Daimon Michiko directly blocked Chen Yu's path, still fixated on the reasoning behind his refusal to let her perform the surgery.
Chen Yu looked helplessly at Daimon Michiko. Although her surgical skills truly are unmatched, her habit of monopolizing every surgery was quite unwelcome: "The patient consented to me as the primary surgeon, so I can't hand the procedure over to you. Is that reason enough? Now, please make way, I need to go into the operating room."
"Let me be an assistant then! I really want to do this surgery!" Daimon Michiko immediately took on a stubborn demeanor, for a challenging surgery was to her like a feast laid out in front of a starving ghost, an irresistible temptation.
"The first assistant will be Dr. Higashiyama, the second Dr. Nakagawa. If you want to join, you can only be the third assistant. Would you like that?" Chen Yu gave Daimon Michiko a glance and started walking towards the operating room without waiting for her response.
However, after a few steps, Chen Yu turned back to Daimon Michiko, who looked downcast, and said, "If you really wish to operate, you should take another close look at the neural damage repair surgery scheme I gave you before. Dr. Higashiyama's sister's surgery is the true application of this surgical plan."
