A Blind Date with the Surgeon

[The main story is complete] Yu Yu is a newly hired nurse, and he is a man. After joining the hospital, he becomes an orthopedic instrument nurse. His very first assignment is to assist in an extremely unusual operation. Just how unusual is it? Well, they use hypertonic saline heated to around 60°C. The patient has a bone tumor. They remove the bone, kill the tumor, medically sterilize the bone, and then graft it back. The saline used to kill the tumor is at 60°C, leaving the flesh in a sort of half-raw, half-cooked state. The operating room fills with a strange smell of blood mixed with scalded meat. Yu Yu is new to the job and has never seen anything like this, so he can't stop himself from gagging. The lead surgeon says coldly, "Throw up into your mask. Don't let anything fall out and contaminate the operating room." Yu Yu: "..." After what happened in the operating room, Yu Yu would rather keep his distance from Qin Hesheng, a surgical robot with no humanity whatsoever. But a few days later, he runs into him at a blind date. Somehow, the two of them end up getting married. After they marry, whenever Yu Yu wants to argue with Qin Hesheng, or have the married-couple life that shouldn't exist between them but somehow does, he remembers Qin Hesheng wielding a sledgehammer in surgery, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. All thoughts of arguing vanish instantly. Qin Hesheng: "Are you really that afraid of me?" Yu Yu: "When I picture you swinging a sledgehammer and holding a power drill, I completely lose interest." Qin Hesheng: "..." Reader's guide: A funny, sweet story about two men who have only ever been with each other, with a happy ending, set in a world where same-sex marriage is legal.
