Chapter 972: Ferocious
For Ling Ran, suturing the egg membrane was actually a simpler task.
In other words, it was easy for someone who was able to do it, but it was not for those who did not.
Engraving on an egg was like copying a text. Instead of the basic part, the difficulty increased along the increased number of words. For a normal attending physician like He Liang, when he was lucky, he could engrave one or two big words on the egg, but the reason he could not engrave more words was because he had a certain probability of error. If he made a mistake, he would fail completely. Therefore, forcefully engraving one or two words was already his limit.
However, suturing the egg membrane did not require that much attention to detail. This was like solving a math problem. If he did not know how to do it, he would not know how to do it. Not much work was needed, and it would also not give him the chance for him to make a mistake.
Department Director Kan’s suggestion for suturing the egg membrane was actually meant for him to corner Ling Ran.
However, Ling Ran was not affected even when he was under the focus of countless phone cameras. He held a scalpel with one hand, and he boldly performed an incision on the membrane of the egg which had already been cracked open.
The liquid from the egg shook a little in a barely perceivable manner, as if it was not very sure whether it had been poked through, so it did not flow out without hesitation.
“Thread.” Ling Ran’s voice volume was neither loud nor soft.
The people around him all held their breaths while staring, and they dared not make any noise, as if they were worried about waking up the liquid in the egg, like it was some sort of sentient being.
Zuo Cidian, who was squatting next to Ling Ran, took out a 7-0 surgical silk suture from the small instrument box and pa.s.sed it to Ling Ran.
Naturally, there was no need for them to care about disinfecting an egg when they sutured it, but Ling Ran’s movements were still very careful, as if he was performing a surgery. He used minimal movements to take over the silk suture without touching anything. Once he confirmed the position, he poked through the membrane with the tip of the needle.
A waiter who was secretly streaming live only had less than one hundred viewers, but at this time, many bullet screens popped out.
[I want to make a quip about this, but I’m afraid of being blocked if I say anything.]
[I feel like I’ve learnt a lot.]
[The tip of the needle is so fine!]
[I think the stream channel is going to be blocked forever. Everyone, please treasure it while you watch.]
The waiters in the private room put their attention and focus on Ling Ran.
Ling Ran, who had the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses on his face partially cover his face, looked a bit weird. However, from another angle, he could be called a “pioneer”, ‘cool man’, or “fas.h.i.+onable”…
Just now, when they were eating, the waiters were still embarra.s.sed to keep looking at him fearlessly. After all, their task was to put their attention on the customers they were serving. However, at this time, they did not need to be particular. Everybody held their phones to take pictures, so they naturally took this opportunity to stare at him.
Besides, while suturing the egg membrane might seem to be more difficult than peeling off an egg sh.e.l.l, when it came to pure aesthetic value, the former was not comparable to the latter.
Everyone only saw Ling Ran’s fingers moving back and forth, and they generally did not see any big change on the egg membrane. Only those who stood near could only see a black silk suture extending, but they also could not see it very clearly.
Only doctors like Department Director Kang would put more attention on the egg membrane.
They did not need to look at the changes of the egg membrane, they just stared at Ling Ran’s movement. As the effect of suture, they would naturally know through the performance of the egg.
Ling Ran sat upright, and his fingers moved very fast, just like how he usually performed surgery.
He had not sutured an egg membrane before, so he felt that it was interesting.
He felt that he could use this as a long-term training model.
Ling Ran thought in a relaxed fas.h.i.+on, and his hands moved even easier and more rhythmically than before.
For him, he might also be suturing something, but the difficulty of suturing the blood vessels in the fingers was higher, and the pressure of suturing those blood vessels was even greater.
If he failed in suturing the egg membrane, there was no problem, and naturally, he did not feel any stress. Being watched by everyone was also normal for Ling Ran. He also did not really bother about success, failure, compliments, or criticisms. Besides, under normal situations, if someone criticized or expressed negative emotions, naturally, another one would fight back with very positive emotions, and Ling Ran would not need to approach these things.
Ling Ran looked like he was full, and now, he wanted to move his muscles.
In fact, he liked this kind of activity during meals.
Suturing during a meal made him feel like he could eat one more round.
“Done.” At this time, Ling Ran gently tied a knot before he put down the silk suture and needle. He turned the egg around, just like he had finished a gla.s.s of wine and was showing off the bottom of the cup.
Not a drop of wine was spilled.
Applause was heard.
Most of the people did not care that much. When they saw that Ling Ran had finished, they gave a round of applause very politely.
“Let me see.” Department Director Kang sat for a while, and he felt slightly drunk. He shoved his way forward in a rather rude manner, then stretched his hand to grab the egg in front of Ling Ran.
“Be careful, pick up the bottom part together.” Huo Congjun stopped his action. He said with the ghost of a smile. “Department Director Kang, you’re a little drunk, right?”
Department Director Kang was a little stunned. It was only then that he realized that his movements had been rather forceful. He went along with Huo Congjun’s words and acted like he was slightly drunk. Then, he took the egg in front of Ling Ran and observed it carefully.
“Lend me the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses.” Department Director Kang was not embarra.s.sed when he extended his hand.
Ling Ran observed Department Director Kang. He saw that he was acting very normally and did not look like he was going to show any signs of myocardial infarction, so he pa.s.sed the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses to Department Director Kang and turned around to look at Zuo Cidian.
“I will do a thorough disinfection later,” Zuo Cidian calmly answered.
Ling Ran nodded in satisfaction, then he laid back against the chair in a relaxed manner.
Department Director Kang put on the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses and focused on observing the sutures on the egg membrane.
If he only looked at it with his eyes, the suture of the membrane was just a simple black line with a few short horizontal lines intersecting with each other in the middle.
However, after he put on the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses, he was overloaded with information.
He could see a straight, fine, long, black line which proved that the coverage and direction of the suture was correct. The black line was neither bent nor folded, which stated that the strength of the suture was balanced, and the gap between the sutures was balanced.
Department Director Kang raised his eyebrows again, then he looked at the short horizontal lines.
The horizontal line was still black. The focus of all of Ling Ran’s strength was completely perpendicular to the “wound” of the egg membrane, it was just like the legs of a centipede splayed neatly and densely by the sides of its body.
When he observed under the surgical magnifying gla.s.ses, the egg membrane sutured by Ling Ran was more ferocious than good-looking.
It was so ferocious that it could not be stopped until its goal was achieved.
When Department Director Kang thought about that, he became shocked.
When Department Director Kang was young, he was skilled. In the past, suturing egg membranes was also a training he always did, and he also did it as a performance.
However, making the sutures on a wound so… vivid… was something Department Director Kang had never tried before.
“Let me try.” As Department Director Kang spoke, he picked up the egg and turned it around gently.
No liquid flowed out, and the bearing capacity of the egg membrane was also functioning.
“Impressive.” Department Director Kang put the egg back in the champagne gla.s.s slowly. Although it was just a performance during dinner, he still felt very stressed.
Suddenly, Department Director Kang noticed that Ling Ran seemed to keep an eye on him, so he could not help but ask, “Doctor Ling, is there any problem?”
Ling Ran shook his head lightly. He just habitually observed Department Director Kang…
Department Director Kang still felt a little unnerved, but when he took a look at the egg in the champagne gla.s.s again, Department Director Kang was full of emotions.
A treasure chest softly popped out in front of Ling Ran.
The system notification telling him that he had received a Peer’s Admiration Basic Treasure Chest naturally appeared.
Subsequently, another notification popped out in front of Ling Ran.
