Traveling through time with spatial abilities, the scientific research genius is a little sweet.

Chapter 52 Practice Suturing
After Su Nuannuan had planned out her studies and life for the next five years, Zhou Menglu, Sun Xiuhua, and Hong Xiu all returned.

Hong Xiu came out of the library as usual, carrying several professional books in her arms.

Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua were carrying large bags and small packages, clearly having just finished shopping at a department store.

"Su Nuannuan, you're back. I bought some peach shortbread, please have some."

When Zhou Menglu saw Su Nuannuan, she actually took the initiative to greet her, which Su Nuannuan found a little puzzling.

The two of them had a terrible argument yesterday, so how could she so calmly invite her to eat today? Su Nuannuan didn't understand, and neither did Hong Xiu.

"No... no need."

Su Nuannuan's subconscious reaction was to refuse.

"Neither do I."

Hong Xiu answered along with Su Nuannuan.

Zhou Menglu's attitude was not as arrogant as yesterday. She only glanced at the two of them with a haughty look, then left after dropping the peach shortbread.

"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong with her?"

Su Nuannuan asked somewhat uncertainly.

"She might be trying to make peace with us."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Hong Xiu stared in astonishment at Zhou Menglu's departing figure. She vividly remembered how willful this young lady had been yesterday; she hadn't expected her to be so easily swayed today. What had happened?
Actually, Su Nuannuan's guess was correct. Zhou Menglu was indeed trying to make amends with the two of them. She felt that although Su Nuannuan had hit her last night, she had later given her a lipstick set. Giving her something so expensive, Zhou Menglu thought Su Nuannuan couldn't have done it on purpose. Therefore, she thought Su Nuannuan was actually a pretty good person.

As for Hong Xiu, Zhou Menglu now thinks she's a kind person. Yesterday, Sun Xiuhua came to the dormitory asking her to help her get into the bathhouse, and Hong Xiu agreed without hesitation. Therefore, Zhou Menglu thinks Hong Xiu is a pretty good person.

That's why Zhou Menglu took the initiative to give peach cakes to Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu today.

Zhou Menglu didn't care at all whether the two men accepted her or not. She felt she had already shown goodwill, and that they would be friends from now on.

Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu were unaware that Zhou Menglu had unilaterally become good friends with them.

In the evening, Su Nuannuan took out the steamed buns she had bought and had them for dinner.

Today, just like yesterday, Su Nuannuan went to the public bathhouse after everyone else had left. The difference was that Zhou Menglu was there today.

When Zhou Menglu learned that Su Nuannuan was going to take a bath, she also took a basin and went with her.

Su Nuannuan couldn't understand why Zhou Menglu would willingly go to take a shower with her. In her memory, their relationship shouldn't be that good.

However, no matter how much Su Nuannuan refused, Zhou Menglu still followed her.

Su Nuannuan, who originally wanted to take a shower in her spatial dimension, could only use the cold water in the public bathhouse. Fortunately, the weather was hot, and the water in the bathhouse still had some residual warmth, so Su Nuannuan didn't feel cold while showering. On the contrary, it felt rather refreshing.

"Nuan Nuan, your shampoo smells so good."

Zhou Menglu's personal items are very exquisite. She especially loves scented items. When Su Nuannuan was washing her hair, she smelled a rich jasmine fragrance—fresh, delicate, and not cloying. She really liked the scent.

Su Nuannuan didn't notice what brand of shampoo she was using. It was just a bottle she randomly grabbed from her spatial storage.

Seeing that Zhou Menglu liked it, he subconsciously spoke up.

"You can try."

After speaking, Su Nuannuan wondered if she had been too polite to Zhou Menglu.

Regardless of what Su Nuannuan thought, Zhou Menglu was focused on trying out Su Nuannuan's shampoo.

"Wow, it smells so good."

The two got much closer because of this bottle of shampoo. Although Su Nuannuan was still not as enthusiastic towards Zhou Menglu, she was no longer as resistant as she had been yesterday.

After taking a shower, Zhou Menglu insisted on dragging Su Nuannuan to do the laundry together. Su Nuannuan, who could normally use the washing machine in the space, now had to scrub the clothes by hand.

With a blank expression, Su Nuannuan listened to Zhou Menglu's chatter beside her, and her resolve to move out was strengthened once again. Su Nuannuan realized that Zhou Menglu was a bit dim-witted and couldn't understand the subtext in other people's words.

Furthermore, after their relationship improved, Zhou Menglu began to open up to her. In just a few tens of minutes, she told Su Nuannuan everything about herself, almost revealing her family's savings.

A sensitive person might have thought Zhou Menglu was deliberately showing off. However, Su Nuannuan knew that this girl was just a little naive.

Su Nuannuan looked at the chattering girl in front of her, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She really wanted Zhou Menglu to shut up. However, considering the hard-won improvement in their dormitory relationship, Su Nuannuan ultimately remained silent.

Never mind, let's just pretend it's sparrows chirping.

Zhou Menglu only shut her mouth after returning to her dormitory and starting to fuss over her face.

Su Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Nuan Nuan, we're going to pick up our textbooks tomorrow afternoon. Classes will start the day after tomorrow."

Hong Xiu, who was in the lower bunk, said to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan replied with an "okay".

There are many textbooks for clinical medicine. Don't ask Su Nuannuan how she knows; besides having memories from her past life, she also found Hong Xiu's textbooks from her freshman year in her dormitory—more than a dozen of them.

All of these courses cover the fundamentals of clinical medicine. In reality, five years is a very tight timeframe for training a surgeon. Five years is simply not enough to learn systematic knowledge and gain practical clinical experience.

Fortunately, this basic medical knowledge from her previous life had already been etched into Su Nuannuan's mind.

After turning off the lights and going to sleep, Su Nuannuan put down the mosquito net, covered herself with the quilt, and went into her spatial dimension.

She first went to check on the medicinal herbs that had been planted in the field. She found that all the herbs had survived, and the quality of many herbs had improved significantly; she could smell their rich aroma even before she got close.

Su Nuannuan then went to check on the ginseng she had planted separately. She discovered that the ginseng had only sprouted a small bud, and its growth rate was extremely slow compared to the other plants in the space.

However, Su Nuannuan understood. She had already discovered that any precious plant with a long growth cycle would grow more slowly in the space than others.

Even so, they still grow faster than when they were in the outside world.

Su Nuannuan watered the ginseng sprouts with some spiritual spring water. Then she went to the storage room on the first floor where medical supplies had been stored.

Within the space, Su Nuannuan could clearly see where everything was placed. Therefore, she quickly found what she wanted.

This is a tool to help practice surgical suturing skills.

The most basic surgical procedures are suturing and cutting.

Su Nuannuan took out a square model resembling human tissue and placed it on the table, then made an incision in it with a scalpel. Because human skin has different tissues, this square model also imitated different layers of muscle tissue, and was filled with soft sponge.

Her task was to cut open the outer layer without damaging the sponge inside.

Although this was Su Nuannuan's first time holding a scalpel, the knowledge in her mind guided her hands. Although her movements weren't very smooth, she was able to perfectly avoid the sponge inside and cut open the epidermis.

After cutting it open, Su Nuannuan could clearly feel that her hand was a little stiff. She thought to herself, "I still need to practice my hand more."

After that, Su Nuannuan used a needle holder to hold the suture needle and began to suture.

Su Nuannuan could clearly feel that her hands were a little unsteady; she was too young and couldn't control her strength. She pursed her lips, but instead of giving up, she focused even more intently on practicing the stitching.

Time passed slowly, and Su Nuannuan finally stopped at eleven o'clock.

After practicing, Su Nuannuan felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.

After drinking a bowl of the spiritual spring water, she felt her spirits restored.

After leaving the space, Su Nuannuan fell asleep immediately.
