Chapter 53 The surgery was a success.
Cheng Ning didn't know much about fishing rods, so she didn't quite understand the discussion the others were having about them. She only knew that fishing rods were very rare and difficult for ordinary people to buy.
Although she didn't understand how Lu Ran had done it, Cheng Ning realized that she seemed to understand Lu Ran less and less.
It's not about personality or character, but about what Lu Ran actually does for a living.
Born into an ordinary farming family, he could still command the respect of a rich second-generation like Lin Shaoxian.
Having just arrived abroad, he was already highly regarded by a renowned medical professor at a Massachusetts eye hospital.
Even if Lu Ran can make a lot of money from stocks, he probably couldn't do this much.
Thinking about all this, Cheng Ning was still a little worried, as she clearly felt that the gap between her and Lu Ran was widening.
But after hearing Lu Ran's amusing words, Cheng Ning almost couldn't help but laugh, and the sense of difference between them faded a lot.
Fifteen seconds is three years' salary. Lu Ran is not only mischievous in front of her, but he also likes to joke around in front of others.
【Ding! 】
Cheng Ning found your boast quite amusing, and her mood gradually returned to normal, so it was a lucky accident.
[Gained 300 treasure chest experience points.]
"Oh, dear Lu, you're really funny, but I think you're joking. I admit you're rich, but nobody can be this rich."
"450,000 dollars in 15 seconds, my God, I don't believe anyone other than Musk can do that."
Lu Ran smiled helplessly.
To be honest, it's one thing for foreigners not to believe it, but why doesn't Cheng Ning believe it either?
He didn't deliberately hide anything from Cheng Ning; Cheng Ning already knew about things like the G-Wagon, Land Rover, and Koenigsegg. He didn't expect that Cheng Ning wouldn't believe what he had just said.
However, Lu Ran was not going to explain; he was just using this humorous way to reject Kevin.
Although Kevin didn't believe that Lu Ran could lose 450,000 dollars in just over ten seconds, he didn't mention asking Lu Ran to stay again.
"Lu Ran, it looks like you caught a fish."
Lu Ran and Cheng Ning shook their fishing rods a few times, and then the shaking became more and more intense.
Lu Ran quickly reeled in the line and lifted the rod, saying, "It's so heavy, it must be quite large."
Cheng Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Ran, it's so heavy! Did we catch a big fish?"
This was Cheng Ning's first time fishing, and also the first time she experienced the joyful feeling of catching a fish.
He was very happy to lift the fishing rod with Lu Ran.
Lu Ran held the fish in his hand and weighed it: "About ten pounds, what a great haul!"
Cheng Ning asked curiously, "It's so heavy!"
"Splash!" The fish struggled violently a few times, splashing water droplets onto Cheng Ning's face. Startled, Cheng Ning cried out "Ah!" and hid under Lu Ran's arm.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm holding on."
"Come here, feel it, it's very big."
Cheng Ning shook her head and said, "I don't want to."
Although Cheng Ning had cooked boiled fish before, she usually had the vendor prepare it for her when she bought it; she simply didn't dare touch such lively, jumping fish.
Lu Ran slyly placed the fish in Cheng Ning's hand, startling Cheng Ning so much that she immediately burrowed into his arms.
"Lu Ran, move it away."
Cheng Ning knew that Lu Ran was just teasing her on purpose, and she was so angry that she punched Lu Ran's chest a few times with her fists.
"Okay, okay, I won't scare you anymore, let's keep fishing."
Lu Ran threw the fish into the bucket, re-baited the rod, and cast it back into the water.
"Oh, dear Lu, you're so lucky, but I won't lose to you. I've taken the bait too."
Kevin's fishing rod started to sway, clearly indicating that he had caught a big fish.
There were already two in the bucket next to Lin Shaoxian. Although they weren't that big, he had already surpassed the number of two people.
"Mr. Kevin, I think I've caught my third one."
"Lin, you're amazing! You truly are my most outstanding student."
"Haha, Mr. Kevin, you flatter me."
Everyone present was very happy, except for Liang Mengying, whose eyes were fixed on Lu Ran and Cheng Ning, with an indescribable meaning in her gaze.
···
Today is the day of Cheng Ning's surgery.
Before entering the operating room, Cheng Ning suddenly became nervous and called out from her hospital bed, "Lu Ran."
Lu Ran stepped forward and took her hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, I'll stay outside with you. I can't go in, but I can watch over you through the window. Don't be afraid, okay?"
Cheng Ning's cheeks flushed.
She knew Lu Ran was teasing her on purpose to help her relax, so she nodded and said softly, "Mm."
In principle, family members accompanying patients should not be allowed to watch the patient undergo surgery.
But such rules are just a minor issue for Lu Ran now.
Lu Ran crossed his arms and watched quietly as Cheng Ning was pushed onto the operating table, his fists clenched tightly, not appearing as relaxed as he seemed.
After an unknown amount of time, the surgery finally ended.
Seeing the doctor's expression, Lu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall, massaging her chest to calm herself down.
The operating room door opened, and Lu Ran stepped forward to ask, "Doctor, how is the situation?"
The doctor smiled and replied, "Congratulations, the surgery was a success. The patient just needs to wait for recovery."
Lu Ran nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
after a while.
Cheng Ning lay in the ward, her eyes already wrapped in gauze.
Lu Ran sat beside her, quietly waiting for Cheng Ning to wake up.
About half an hour later, Cheng Ning slowly woke up.
"Lu Ran".
The first thing Cheng Ning did upon waking was to call out Lu Ran's name. Lu Ran immediately took her hand and said gently:
"I'm here."
Cheng Ning was relieved, then hesitated before asking, "My eyes..."
Lu Ran smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, the surgery was very successful. You just need to rest and recuperate well, and then gradually get used to the light. The recovery period is about three to six months. You should be fully recovered after six months."
"Really?"
Cheng Ning was very excited.
Lu Ran patted her hand: "Really, don't get excited, and please don't cry."
"It would be really troublesome if I got so excited that I cried at this moment."
Lu Ran quickly thought of a joke and then said, "I'll tell you a joke, but please don't cry."
"Once upon a time, there was a pig who would ask its owner 'Why' every day. Do you know why?"
Cheng Ning gently pinched Lu Ran's arm.
"You're the pig."
"If you really can't think of a good joke, you don't have to tell it. I'm not stupid."
Lu Ran replied, "Okay, you're not stupid."
It doesn't really matter whether it's funny or not, as long as it can distract Cheng Ning from crying.
"Lu Ran, how long are we going to stay here?"
Cheng Ning was very happy that the surgery was successful, but it would take six months to fully recover. She was not used to staying abroad for so long, and her and Lu Ran's visas did not have enough time.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, the doctor said the recovery process isn't too complicated. We can have a follow-up check-up at a hospital in China, and after another four or five days, we can go back to China."
Cheng Ning nodded happily upon hearing this: "Okay."
It was lunchtime.
Lu Ran spent a long time going out, but in the end, he could only buy some mushy noodles, hamburgers, and fried chicken.
He really couldn't get used to the rest of the food.
In this situation, you really need to go back as soon as possible, otherwise what's the point of recuperating if you're just eating junk food every day?
Lu Ran brought lunch back to the ward, but Cheng Ning only ate one bite of noodles and refused to touch it again, preferring to eat a hamburger instead.
Lu Ran is similar; nowadays, even if a plate of stir-fried green peppers and pork is placed in front of him, he would treat it as a state banquet.
