The indicator light showing surgery in progress in front of the operation room for Little Raindrop turned on at 9 a.m. and has not gone out even by 5 p.m.

The number of people waiting outside the operation room gradually increased!

There were enthusiastic fans bringing flowers and fruit baskets, who kept closely following the news about Little Raindrop, along with more than ten entertainment journalists armed with long and short lenses.

These journalists were not here for Little Raindrop, but for Xiaoxiao!

In the past few days, Xiaoxiao had been posting about Little Raindrop on her Weibo, occasionally sharing close photos of them together.

The journalists had reckoned that Xiaoxiao might show up at this special moment today.

As for Lin Jie's students, none of them were waiting outside.

They pretty much understood Lin Jie's temperament and knew that these formal courtesies and flattery were absolutely not as important as utilizing their knowledge in one-on-one interviews to make Lin Jie feel satisfied.

At this moment, a young man, dragging heavy legs, emerged from the fire escape.

He lightened his footsteps and walked up to a middle-aged man with a full short beard, leaning against the wall with closed eyes, and whispered, "Teacher Hao, I just took a turn around and talked to the hospital security and a few nurses. Xiaoxiao shouldn't be hiding anywhere in the hospital."

"Do you think she might not show up?"

He further speculated, "Perhaps she just sent an assistant on her behalf as a gesture? After all, the event in the Capital City is quite important, and there's a significant dinner banquet this evening too!"

The man with the full beard, called Teacher Hao, slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the young man, and said, "Xiaoxiao's publicity team has been focusing on this girl named Little Raindrop for the past week."

"A good publicity campaign needs an important start, and the end is even more important."

"Xiaoxiao won't do something foolish to let all efforts go to waste. Regardless of whether the surgery's result is successful or not, she will definitely show up. We'll just wait patiently."

The anxiety on the young man's face eased a bit. His eyes slowly swept over the dozens of people waiting in front of him and asked, "Teacher Hao, where do you think Xiaoxiao might be hiding?"

"Is it possible that she might come to the hospital secretly after the surgery ends and we've all left, to visit Little Raindrop?"

Pangs of frustration and helplessness flashed in the man's eyes, and he patiently said, "Xiaoxiao is currently organizing a national tour concert; it's the time for her to increase exposure and promote vigorously."

"So, faced with such a ready-made publicity opportunity, she won't come sneakily; she'll definitely arrive at the moment when the surgery is about to be completed."

"Regardless of the result given by the lead surgeon, I'm sure Xiaoxiao will be there with tears in her eyes, hugging Little Raindrop's parents, either celebrating or consoling them!"

"That would also be our best time to shoot."

The young man was amazed, "Teacher Hao, you can even guess things like this?"

The man looked up at the ceiling and said helplessly, "It's all routine! After crawling and scrambling in this industry for a decade or two, you can see through many things at a glance."

The young man smiled somewhat sheepishly and said, "Teacher Hao, thank you for not disliking me and teaching me with patience."

The man hummed, closed his eyes again.

The young man emulated him, lightly leaning his back and the back of his head against the wall and closed his eyelids.

However, less than two minutes later, he opened his eyes again and asked, "Teacher Hao, can I ask you a question?"

"Hurry up and ask!" The bearded man said somewhat impatiently!

"Then I'll ask, Teacher Hao, if you're unwilling to answer, you don't have to!"

The young man started with this before getting to the point, "With your qualifications and status, Teacher Hao, you could be sitting in a comfortable office, reviewing drafts, and writing reviews."

"Why did you voluntarily take this field assignment this time?"

The man left the wall, stood upright, and looking at the tightly closed operation room door, said, "I came for him!"

"Him? Who is he?"

The young man was very surprised and asked, "Who could be more formidable than Xiaoxiao, who already has the real and rightful title of the diva?"

The man didn't look at the young man, and muttered to himself, "For me, this specialist surgeon Lin Jie is a hundred times more important than the illustrious Xiaoxiao!"

The young man was even more amazed and pressed on, "Teacher Hao, isn't he just a medical expert?"

"No matter how famous he is, he can't be more recognizable than a third-rate celebrity, can he? Xiaoxiao is currently extremely popular!"

The man turned and looked at the young man's face full of seriousness and surprise, suddenly sighed and shook his head, "We're clearly not on the same wavelength."

"Hmm..."

"I ask you, do I remember how Xiaoxiao introduced this medical expert?"

The young man shook his head.

The man evidently knew the young man wouldn't notice this, and said directly, "Xiaoxiao wrote this on her Weibo: 'He's a miracle worker, someone I need to be grateful to and remember for a lifetime.' "

"Does the fact that someone who Xiaoxiao is grateful to and remembers for a lifetime remind you of anything?"

The man didn't waste time letting the young man make connections and directly provided the answer, quietly saying, "I suspect this chief surgeon is the one who restored Xiaoxiao's voice..."

"Don't shout, don't be surprised, cover your mouth..."

The young man hurriedly covered his wide-open mouth with his hands as per the man's instructions.

The man continued, "With this suspicion in mind, I did some research on this doctor named Lin Jie."

"I suddenly realized that this guy is not just a person, he's simply a miracle, an unimaginable miracle!"

"He only has a middle school education, and he's still two months shy of turning twenty-one."

"But he went through a special admission process, passed numerous experts' assessments, got into Binhai University Medical School, and became a medical graduate student."

"What's more surprising is that while he's still a student, he's already a legally qualified doctor. Not only that, but he also became a specially appointed specialist at the Affiliated Hospital."

"Do you know what it means to be a specially appointed specialist at the Affiliated Hospital? Only the top medical experts in the country are qualified to be appointed as specially appointed specialists."

The man's tone had unknowingly turned somewhat excited.

"When many questioned him, this guy performed an open surgery, making Director Xia, known as the best in the military and the top cardiac surgeon in the country, admit to being inferior."

"Through further investigation, I discovered more..."

"Xiaoxiao has arrived..."

A sudden shout interrupted the man's words.

Looking towards the elevator, Xiaoxiao, wearing a mask and sun hat, walked gracefully here surrounded by five or six assistants and bodyguards.

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Xiaoxiao, I love you!"

The fans' screams came one after another, and the entertainment journalists swarmed forward, frantically pressing the shutters.

For a moment, it was quite lively.

Very soon, hospital officials and security arrived to stop this noisy situation.

With the hospital's efforts, and Xiaoxiao's active calming, it quickly returned to quietness.

Xiaoxiao took off her mask and hat, came to Little Raindrop's parents, and held their hands tightly, gently saying, "I'll wait with you for Little Raindrop to come out."

"I believe in Little Raindrop's strength and the experts' abilities, the surgery will definitely be successful."

She then turned to the fans and many entertainment journalists separated by assistants and bodyguards, saying, "This is a hospital, please keep quiet. Don't disturb the surgery and patients!"

"I implore everyone to pray with me for Little Raindrop's surgery to be a success…"

After another ten minutes, the indicator light on the operation room door suddenly went out!

Everyone stood up in unison, gathered around Little Raindrop's parents, and looked at the operation room door together.

With a creak, the operation room door was opened!

A doctor, slightly on the thin side, came out from inside.

He walked up to Little Raindrop's parents, took off his mask, revealing a slightly tired, yet exceptionally young and quite handsome face.

"The surgery went smoothly! However, we still need to wait for Little Raindrop to wake up and conduct a postoperative damage check!"

Little Raindrop's parents had just shown a look of delight when a loud voice abruptly sounded, "Dr. Lin, there is a confirmed report that it was you who restored Xiaoxiao's voice!"

"Is this news true? Please confirm it!"
