At noon, at eleven thirty, Lu Cheng loaded several boxes into the trunk and set off to pick people up.

Chen Song and Tong Yuan'an both lived in different buildings within the same community, so he could pick them up in one go.

Chen Song and Tong Yuan'an don't have to work night shifts regularly; they work eight-hour shifts and then have forty hours off, so they are full of energy.

There were no emergency cases of severed limbs or fingers last night, so Tong Yuan'an also had a good rest.

After Lu Cheng sent a message in advance, the two gathered at Tong Yuan'an's place for tea, along with fruit pies.

When Lu Cheng knocked on the door, Tong Yuan'an was shouting, "Zhao Xin, why don't you go back and reincarnate? What kind of mess did you make?"

The door was secured with a password, so Lu Cheng opened it himself with the code.

Upon opening the door, he saw the two professors lying on the couch, swearing. Lu Cheng decided not to interrupt, but instead made sure the reservation he had made was confirmed…

"Xiao Lu, there's coffee, help yourself. We'll probably wrap up this round soon," Tong Yuan'an greeted him.

"Okay, Teacher Tong," Lu Cheng replied.

About ten minutes later, Tong Yuan'an changed into long shorts, slippers, and a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, swaggering with his hips.

"Let's go, qufa!~" Tong Yuan'an pointed outside the door.

"Hey, Teacher Tong, I've already made the reservation. We can go there to order on-site," Lu Cheng said.

"The place we're going today, Teacher Tong, you've been there before, the one by the river with the nice environment," Lu Cheng told Tong Yuan'an.

Chen Song's eyes lit up instantly, "Oh, their country chicken is good."

After speaking, Chen Song patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder, snorting, "Xiao Lu, do you know that Teachers' Day tradition is for the boss to treat?"

Lu Cheng, leading the way, turned back with a slightly stiff expression after hearing this.

"I didn't know before, but now that I've told you, you can know," Chen Song said.

Tong Yuan'an grinned widely, looking at Lu Cheng and then at Chen Song, "Are you sure he's not your half-brother?"

Lu Cheng was too old to be Chen Song's illegitimate child, but he could be Elder Chen's 'debt'!

Chen Song punched Tong Yuan'an, "Watch your mouth, the old man did nothing to provoke you."

Tong Yuan'an smacked his lips twice, "Just kidding!"

Lu Cheng said, "Teacher Chen, how about I treat instead, after all, you are guests."

"Then teach me something," Chen Song said, raising his chin proudly, reaching for Lu Cheng's nape.

Looking at Tong Yuan'an, "A little rebellious, but not much!"

Tong Yuan'an laughed heartily, "In a few years it might be more prominent, after all, protrusions can grow with age and ambition."

Lu Cheng smiled and changed the topic, "Teachers, I happen to have a rather special gift for you, it's truly from the heart, not something extravagant."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng approached the car and opened the trunk.

When the trunk was lifted, two gift boxes stood side by side. One was taller, the other more compact.

"Which one is for whom?" Tong Yuan'an crossed his arms, pointing at the two boxes.

"The smaller one is for you, Teacher Tong, and the larger one is for you, Teacher Chen," Lu Cheng said.

Chen Song raised his chin again, and then went forward to take the box, sarcastically saying, "It's not like I've never been to the bathroom. If it's small, just admit it, after all, you already have kids…"

"Ouch!~" Chen Song tightened his glute and turned his head, "Are you serious?"

Tong Yuan'an exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Oh, you damn bastard, if you make jokes like that again, I swear to God, I'll kick your asshole with my pointy shoes..."

Chen Song couldn't be bothered with Tong Yuan'an, he opened the box, and inside was a cream cake that seemed to have been nibbled by ants.

In the middle of the cake was a V-neck pattern!

At first glance, Chen Song was stunned!

What the hell is this? You give me a gift and it's a second-hand cake?

Isn't the intention a bit too obvious? Or did you not even consider me a person and chose to brush it off?

He glanced at Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng's face was full of an innocent smile, sincere and cute, not looking like he was up to something.

Chen Song looked back and seemed to realize something, quickly closing the box lid, then started counting the 'ant' bitten holes, carefully measuring the size of each hole.

"Hemostasis Technique requires you to perform at least 60 precise curved surface electrocautery actions in one minute, with a hemostasis error rate of less than four times. Hemostasis diameter is 3mm."

"Hemostasis Technique requires you to perform at least 60 precise electrocautery actions on the surface in one minute, with a hemostasis error rate of less than four times. Hemostasis diameter is 2mm,"

"Hemostasis Technique requires you to perform at least 70 precise electrocautery actions in one minute, with a hemostasis error rate of less than four times. Depth of operation is 3cm, hemostasis diameter 2mm."

"Cream cake is the best practice material..."

The more Chen Song counted, the more meticulous his expression became.

After counting about half, he realized Lu Cheng was not someone who would shortchange just to please, so he stepped back, evaluating Lu Cheng from top to bottom.

"Notable improvement?" He asked cautiously, speaking in riddles.

"Hmm!~" Lu Cheng nodded, genuinely heartfelt, with clear eyes, "Only to thank Teacher Chen for his teachings, every word is a gem, and I'd like to keep it all in mind and hand."

Then, Lu Cheng said, "So, Teacher Chen, let me treat you to a meal."

Lu Cheng's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear his sincere intention.

Chen Song was stunned, not responding at first, then after some thought, he closed the box, "Xiao Lu, you should pursue a master's degree."

"I'll talk to Director Xiang to get you a special admission for a professional PhD, guaranteeing you an early graduation."

Upon hearing this boast from Chen Song, Tong Yuan'an immediately spat, "Chen Song, that's bullshit, he's thirty already!"

"At his age, he should be taking the extraordinary hire path. For extraordinary admission, not only does the school need to agree, but he must also personally obtain special approval from the Provincial Department of Education and undergo professional qualification evaluation by multiple experts from peer institutions."

"Don't bait someone with something outside your control!~"

After speaking, Tong Yuan'an opened his smaller box.

Inside was an iron cage.

Inside the iron cage was a single rat!

And just one rat.

Tong Yuan'an was initially a bit stunned, but understanding that this was Lu Cheng's way of expressing his respect, he quickly understood this was a demonstration of his basic skills...

So he immediately counted the suture scars on the rat's tail.

Indeed, it wasn't just one suture mark.

Suturing a nude tail with precision in a fine vascular three-segment suture, and the rat's tail was still alive!

After observing, Tong Yuan'an turned around immediately, grasping Lu Cheng's hand, "Lu Cheng, come, listen to me, we'll drive to Sha City… let's go now..."

"What Chen Song can't accomplish, I can! If I can't do it, I'll slice off two ounces of my own flesh for you, and you follow me..."

As Tong Yuan'an was saying this, he noticed Chen Song's salty pig hand clamping down fiercely on his bulging pec!

And the bastard was beginning to twist it!

Tong Yuan'an's eyes widened, rising on his tiptoes, higher and higher, his mouth twisting...

A trembling voice, "No... no... let... hiss... let go."

Once Chen Song released his grip, Tong Yuan'an's feet touched the ground, holding his chest with one hand, he started cursing, "Chen Song, are you human?!!!"

He lifted his other hand to hit, clearly enraged.

"What did we agree on before? Hmm? Look into my eyes, and speak!" Chen Song, like a 'cat person,' intercepted his hand, tilting his head with arrogance.
