The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

In the dissection room shrouded in dim light, the smell of formalin was so strong that it seemed to wrap people tightly. The cold tiled walls reflected the weak light, making the whole space seem even more eerie and silent. Xie Xuan'an and Shao Liechuan once again stood side by side in front of the dissection table filled with the smell of death.

Xie Xuan'an's expression was extremely focused, and his knuckles turned white from the force of holding the scalpel. His eyes were fixed on the lifeless body in front of him, with a hint of tension and expectation intertwined. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead one by one, like tiny pearls under the dim light.

Just as he took a deep breath and prepared to cut according to the standard method in the textbook, Shao Liechuan's slender and powerful hands suddenly reached out and gently but firmly grasped his wrist. Xie Xuan'an's body trembled slightly, as if he was hit by an electric current, and subconsciously tried to break free. But Shao Liechuan's strength was amazing, and his hands were like iron hoops, making Xie Xuan'an's struggle useless.

Shao Liechuan's tall body pressed tightly against Xie Xuan'an's back, his broad chest conveying a reassuring warmth. He bent down slightly, his handsome face close to Xie Xuan'an's ear, his tall nose bridge looked more three-dimensional in the shadow, his deep eyes were full of seriousness and concentration. The cold air in the dissection room seemed to condense around them, and only the hot air exhaled by Shao Liechuan gently brushed Xie Xuan'an's neck.

"This is a method I figured out. It will surely make it easier for you to exert force and it will also be much easier to cut the flesh. Trust me and give it a try." Shao Liechuan's voice was low and magnetic, and it sounded particularly clear in this silent space.

Shao Liechuan's left hand wrapped more tightly around Xie Xuan'an's waist, as if to hold him firmly in place. His right hand began to carefully adjust Xie Xuan'an's knife-holding posture, first gently moving the position of Xie Xuan'an's thumb to make it fit the arc of the knife handle more closely, and then slightly bending Xie Xuan'an's index finger to make the angle between the finger and the blade more natural.

"Come on, lift your wrist a little higher, yes, that's it." Shao Liechuan said as he gently turned Xie Xuan'an's wrist, looking for the best angle of entry. Each of his movements was extremely gentle yet full of control, as if he was fiddling with an extremely precious and fragile treasure. Shao Liechuan's fingers accidentally touched the back of Xie Xuan'an's hand, and the warmth at that moment made Xie Xuan'an's heart jump.

Xie Xuan'an's heart skipped a beat. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he had to admit that Shao Liechuan's way of holding the knife seemed to be a little different from others.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. First feel the force points of the muscles in this position." Shao Liechuan's words were filled with unquestionable firmness. His breath gently brushed across Xie Xuan'an's neck, bringing an itchy feeling.

Shao Liechuan began to control Xie Xuan'an's hand, first applying force very gently, and the blade slowly and shallowly cut into the flesh, making a slight "sizzling" sound. Xie Xuan'an only felt Shao Liechuan's steady and powerful breathing in his ears, and the pungent smell of formalin filled his nose. In front of him was the gradually cut flesh, which felt a little cool to the touch and had an indescribable stickiness.

Shao Liechuan gradually increased the strength of his hands, and the incision became deeper and neater, and the texture of the skin and the tissue underneath was clearly exposed. The surgical instruments on the side shone coldly under the cold light, forming a sharp contrast with the cut skin and flesh.

Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind to try it according to Shao Liechuan's method. When he exerted a little force and the blade cut into the flesh again, he felt an unprecedented smoothness in his hand, and the incision was indeed neat and beautiful.

"Does it feel very different?" There was a barely perceptible hint of pride in Shao Liechuan's voice.

Xie Xuan'an was silent for a long time before he muttered reluctantly, "It does seem a little different."

Shao Liechuan raised his lips and showed a confident smile: "When it comes to anatomy, you can't just follow the books mechanically. You need to explore and innovate in practice."

In the following time, Shao Liechuan always kept his arms around Xie Xuan'an from behind, and with his right hand, he steadily controlled Xie Xuan'an's hand holding the knife, and led him to complete the entire dissection process step by step. Every time he cut, Shao Liechuan would control the force and angle extremely accurately, allowing Xie Xuan'an to fully appreciate the ingenuity of this technique.

Xie Xuan'an's heart gradually changed from initial resistance to acceptance, and he even began to actively ponder and feel the advantages of this new method. His heartbeat gradually accelerated in Shao Liechuan's embrace, not knowing whether it was because of the tense dissection operation or because of the overly intimate contact.

When the autopsy was finally over, Xie Xuan'an breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had unloaded a heavy burden. The breath turned into a cloud of white mist in the cold autopsy room and dissipated in an instant. His tense body also relaxed at once.

"Thank you. I really learned something new this time." Xie Xuan'an's voice was much softer than usual, with a hint of barely perceptible gratitude.

Shao Liechuan smiled and patted his shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement: "If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

From that day on, the relationship between Xie Xuan'an and Shao Liechuan changed subtly. On this challenging and unknown medical path, they seemed to be one step closer to each other. And the ambiguous feelings, like the gradually spreading smell of formalin, lingered between the two of them unconsciously in this closed dissection room.

Every lazy afternoon, when the scorching sun shines through the gaps in the windows and cuts the ground into mottled light and shadow, Xie Xuan and Shao Liechuan always arrive as promised and step into the autopsy room filled with the familiar and pungent smell of formalin.

Shao Liechuan always waits here early. He carefully arranges the dissection tools one by one. The sharp scalpels flash coldly under the cold light, and the delicate tweezers, pliers and other tools are neatly arranged.

Shao Liechuan was wearing a neat white coat, looking solemn and serious, his eyes full of expectation and concentration.

And every time Xie Xuanan came in, he would take a deep breath, and the strong smell of formalin instantly filled his nose. He seemed to be encouraging himself, and then quickly immersed himself in practice.

He was also wearing a white coat. He walked to the dissection table and stared at the specimen in front of him with a firm gaze.

When starting the operation, Xie Xuan'an carefully picked up the scalpel and prepared to process the arm part of the specimen.

His hands were trembling slightly due to nervousness, and the cold and hard handle of the knife seemed a little slippery in his sweaty hands. Seeing this, Shao Liechuan gently held his hand, and the warmth of his palm was instantly transmitted to him. Shao Liechuan said gently: "Don't panic, stay steady. Just like what we did before, although the tissue structure here in the arm is relatively simple, it cannot be taken lightly.

For example, the muscle fibers in this part we are going to treat have a regular orientation. When we cut, we should follow the direction of the muscle fibers to minimize damage to the tissue. Also, be careful to avoid major blood vessels and nerves. Once damaged, the consequences will be disastrous.

As Shao Liechuan spoke, he guided Xie Xuan'an to slowly bring the blade close to the specimen's skin. The moment the blade touched the skin, Xie Xuan'an felt only a slight resistance, followed by a soft "sizzling" sound.

Shao Liechuan felt Xie Xuan'an's muscles tense and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him.

Shao Liechuan continued to explain: "You see, under this layer is the fascia, which wraps the muscles and plays a role in fixing and protecting them. We must be especially careful when separating them, and never tear them roughly." As he spoke, Shao Liechuan picked up a pair of tweezers and gently clamped the fascia with gentle movements. He demonstrated to Xie Xuan'an: "Like this, clamp it gently, and be gentle." After careful observation, Xie Xuan'an took the tweezers and tried to operate it. His fingers trembled slightly, but gradually stabilized under Shao Liechuan's firm gaze. Shao Liechuan smiled and encouraged: "Yes, that's it, take your time."

Sometimes, when they encounter a more complicated part such as the armpit, they will involuntarily come forward together, their heads touching, their hair gently touching, their breaths intertwined, warm and rapid. Shao Liechuan will point to the key parts and explain in detail: "This is the nerve plexus of the armpit, which is densely distributed. You must be very careful when operating. There are many important blood vessels, nerves and lymph nodes in the armpit. The slightest carelessness may cause irreversible damage and affect the function of the arm. So you must be extra careful when cutting and separating tissues." Xie Xuan'an nodded frequently, his eyes full of desire for knowledge and understanding. Shao Liechuan accidentally touched Xie Xuan'an's cheek, and both of them were slightly startled, but soon focused on the specimen in front of them.

During the whole operation, they breathed very lightly and slowly, as if they were afraid of disturbing this conversation with the mysteries of medicine. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, but they didn't bother to wipe it off. They were fully immersed in this delicate and rigorous dissection exercise, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only them, the specimens in front of them, and the endless mysteries of medicine.
