Chapter 324: Behaving Like Women

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At half-past five, in the observation room outside the operating theater, doctors from the industry and that person, all those who were involved in the surgery, came to the room after another.

That person had brought his wife along. He had worn a black, modified Chinese tunic suit. His figure was elegant, and his face did not seem very serious. However, as he sat there quietly, everyone consciously straightened their backs, and their breathing became more stable.

The aura of a true first-in-command was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Wei Shuyi raised his head and glanced at that person.

He felt sorry for him.

Wei Shuyi didn’t know if that person was a good person or not. He didn’t know if his path to power was smooth or whether he had stepped on the flesh and bones of others. However, Wei Shuyi knew that, that person was a good leader. His iron-blooded political skills were feared and respected by the world’s leaders.

He had many cla.s.sic phrases.

He had once said, “Those who walk with their backs bent are gorillas. If you’re a human, you have to keep your back straight. If you’re Chinese, you should do the same.”

He had said, “If we suck it up after being bullied, we’ll be good-for-nothings. We are Chinese and can’t be good-for-nothings.”

He also said, “When you walk out of this country, you represent the people of China. When you defecate by the roadside, that’s you making the people of China look uncultured. When you make a ruckus in the restaurant, that’s you making the people of China look uncultured. When you get beaten up outside, that’s letting others know that the Chinese are weak. So, please remember that every word and action of yours represents China. When you go overseas, you only need to bring four things: quality, brains, money, and fists. The first three things are always with you, and your fists are only for those who deserve a beating.”

He had said many, many things, and the younger generation in the country affectionately addressed him as Uncle Zhang.

Wei Shuyi looked at the person on the operating table.

The anesthetist was administering anesthesia to him. The patient had not completely fallen asleep. He tilted his head and looked at the person outside the gla.s.s window. His lips moved. Wei Shuyi recognized that he was calling for his father.

That person’s eyes seemed to be a little red.

He was a leader of the country, and also everything to his son. But now, his son was lying in a hospital bed, and there was nothing he could do.

Elder Xu valued this surgery very much.

After general anesthesia was given, the right femoral artery and right radial artery were punctured. An angiogram of the aortic arch was performed. The femoral artery and radial artery were sent into two different catheters using a guidewire. Many attempts were made to no avail. First, the MPA1 imaging catheter was used but it was unsuccessful. Then, the pigtail catheter was used, but it was still unsuccessful…

Finally, the doctor switched to the YAs.h.i.+ROTYPE catheter and used the femoral artery pathway to check the blood vessels on the side. Finally, he managed to reach the proximal part of the blood vessel on the side. He released several spring rings of different models and successfully sealed the side. The entire procedure took nearly forty minutes.

They had tried just the first step so many times. Everyone could not help but feel heavy-hearted.

Yuan Jun was also a little nervous, and his forehead was even starting to sweat.

Sensing his little disciple’s abnormality, Elder Xu glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Calm down.”

When a doctor was on the operating table, he had to be calm and composed.

Yuan Jun seemed to have disappointed him.

The specialists looked at each other. They were not optimistic about this surgery.

Elder Xu stole a glance at Wei Shuyi and noticed that Wei Shuyi was staring at Young Master Zhang’s condition without blinking. He sighed in his heart.

“Alright, prepare for the heart transplant surgery.”

The two a.s.sistants stood behind Elder Xu and prepared for the surgery.

Elder Xu smiled and said, “I finally got to meet the Little Master with my scalpel today.”

At this moment, he was still in the mood to joke.

Everyone chuckled and tried to liven up the solemn atmosphere in the operating theater.

Yuan Jun let out a dry laugh and said, “I hope this is the last time the Little Master will enter the operating table.” His original intention was to say that he hoped that this operation would succeed and the Little Master would never have to suffer again. He hoped that the Little Master would be healthy and never enter the operating theater again.

However, everyone glared at him when they heard this!

‘The last time he’ll enter the operating theater’ had another meaning.

The patient would die on the operating table.

Yuan Jun realized that he had said something wrong and felt a little awkward.

However, Elder Xu wasn’t affected by Yuan Jun’s words. When Yuan Zun had said the first sentence, the knife in Elder Xu’s hand had easily and accurately cut open Sir Zhang’s skin…

At first, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, an expert spoke on Elder Xu’s behalf. He said, “The patient’s heart rate is starting to drop.”

“Sixty-five!”

Without waiting for Elder Xu to speak, Yuan Jun added, “Sixty… Fifty-five!”

“Shut up.” Elder Xu’s tone was unbelievably calm when he said those two words. It was like a level line without any fluctuations.

“Forty-five.”

Many people muttered this number.

“Prepare for V-fib.”

Yuan Jun was stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he was about to prepare for the V-fib.

When performing ventricular fibrillation, Elder Xu still looked calm and composed. He did not seem nervous at all.

In reality, it was useless to be nervous at this time. Whether the operation would be a success or a failure, it was not a problem that nervousness could solve. On this point, Wei Shuyi was the same as Elder Xu. Three years ago, when he had learned that the surgery had failed, he had not stopped at all. He had repaired the patient’s heart and st.i.tched up the wound. Throughout the entire process, his hands had been calm and steady.

However, after leaving the operating theater, he had realized that his hands were trembling.

A life had been lost because of him.

Elder Xu was concerned about the outcome of the surgery as well, but he was the chief surgeon. If he was in a mess now, he would lose his backbone.

Elder Xu suddenly thought about how nice it would be if Xiao Yi could hold a knife. If Xiao Yi could hold a knife, then Yuan Jun would have nothing to do with this surgery.

It was not that Elder Xu looked down on Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun’s surgical skills were not bad either. However, his mental quality was far inferior to Wei Shuyi’s.

When the people outside saw that the patient’s heart rate had recovered, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Chen Anyuan looked from the operating table to Wei Shuyi.

He saw Wei Shuyi’s long and slender hands in front of him. Wei Shuyi was demonstrating Elder Xu’s movements. There was nothing under him and no scalpel in his hands, but Chen Anyuan could feel his focus.

Wei Shuyi looked like a second Elder Xu, who could never be shocked.

“Cut the surgical thread,” Elder Xu said. Yuan Jun immediately cut the surgical thread.

After Elder Xu said that, the surgery finally ended.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

All the experts gave Elder Xu a thumbs up. Elder Xu was also a little tired.

This surgery took him three hours.

The rest of the sewing and cleaning would take at least two hours to finish.

Yuan Jun was about to go to the operating table when Elder Xu suddenly said to him, “Wait a minute.”

Huh?

Yuan Jun obediently stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to look at his teacher, only to find that his teacher’s gaze had s.h.i.+fted to Wei Shuyi. Yuan Jun had a bad feeling. As expected, Elder Xu spoke, “Come here.”

Wei Shuyi walked over under Yuan Jun’s furious gaze.

Elder Xu stared at him and said, “Stand here and help your junior brother!”

Yuan Jun was stunned for a second. Then, he gloatingly smiled at Wei Shuyi.

After being stunned for a moment, Wei Shuyi said, “Okay.”

Before leaving, Elder Xu earnestly said to Wei Shuyi, “Since you can’t hold a knife, you can start by getting close to it.”

Wei Shuyi was shocked.

He nodded and stood aside to help Yuan Jun.

By now, Yuan Jun had already regained his composure. Elder Xu would not take in an idiot disciple. Although Yuan Jun’s previous performance had disappointed Elder Xu, he still did a good job of cleaning up the mess. By the time the surgery ended, it was already one o’clock at night.

After leaving the operating theater, Wei Shuyi took off his surgical gown, gloves, and mask and washed his hands under the tap. At that moment, Yuan Jun walked over and deliberately sprinkled water on the back of Wei Shuyi’s hand.

Wei Shuyi quickly washed his hands with water as if he had been infected by a virus.

Yuan Jun was speechless.

“Are you really planning to stay at the Medical University and teach for the rest of your life?”

Although Yuan Jun could not stand Wei Shuyi’s pretentious act of pretending to be cold and indifferent, he had to admit that Wei Shuyi was a rare opponent. Wei Shuyi glanced at him and said, “Regardless of whether it’s strength or appearance, you’ve always been number two in the Medical University with me around. As long as I’m around, you still have to be number two.”

Finally, Wei Shuyi turned around and looked straight at Yuan Jun. He asked with an annoyed face. “Are you sure you want me to come back and humiliate you?”

Yuan Jun raised his eyebrows and threw a handful of water at Wei Shuyi’s face.

Wei Shuyi touched his face and mocked him. “You’re such a sissy. You still have to throw water at me during a fight!” He raised his fist and hit Yuan Jun’s shoulder as he scolded. “Do you think I’m a rose!”

Yuan Jun almost fainted from his shamelessness.

A rose…

He spat. “Coward! As a doctor, you failed just once, but you can’t even hold the scalpel properly… Coward! Coward! Coward!” He threw a punch back at him and ran away. Even though he couldn’t beat Wei Shuyi, he could run.

Wei Shuyi stood in the washroom and looked at the sink beneath him. He recalled what had happened many years ago.

***

The patient was only nineteen years old and had just entered her first year of university.

The girl had a rare Rudenbach syndrome. She had an atrial septal defect, mitral stenosis, enlarged heart, pulmonary hemorrhage, and pulmonary hypertension. After some discussion, Wei Shuyi and his team had planned to perform non-stop surgeries for the girl. They decided to block the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and the aorta, making sure her heart didn’t stop beating. Such surgeries were created more than twenty years ago. Now, the technology was very mature.

Before the surgery, the girl said that her boyfriend was studying in Xi’an. She wanted to visit him after the surgery was successful and her body had recovered. They were online lovers, and the girl had never agreed to meet the boy because she was worried about her health.

She had loved the boy more and more. She wanted a new life. She wanted to see the person she loved.

The girl said to Wei Shuyi, “Actually, my boyfriend isn’t half as good-looking as you, but I like him. Dr. Wei, you will cure me, right?”

Wei Shuyi nodded and replied, “Of course. When you meet your boyfriend in Xi’an, remember to send me a photo.”

“Sure!”

A few minutes before they entered the operating room, the girl was a little nervous. She held Wei Shuyi’s hand and said to him, “We know each other from playing games. He’s a guru in the game, and a very powerful one. At first, he was very annoyed with me and very cold. I worked hard for a year to win him over. After that, he went from being a G.o.d of the game to my G.o.d. Let me tell you, his username in League of Legends is…”

She told him that person’s name.

Wei Shuyi didn’t play League of Legends, so he didn’t know about that impressive G.o.d.

After the operation, the girl never came down from the operating table again. Wei Shuyi downloaded League of Legends that night. He didn’t know how to play it. He didn’t even know how to contact that player. He asked many people before he found out his Weibo name.

He finally found that player’s Weibo.

His Weibo name was Ye Xi.

Wei Shuyi looked at the man’s name in a daze. He would never forget the name Chen Jingxi because it was the name of the person who died under his scalpel.

Wei Shuyi sent a message to the player.

Wei: [Sorry.]

The aloof player ignored him.

Wei: [Chen Jingxi can’t come to see you anymore.]

The player replied quickly.

Ye Xi: [Are you Xiao Xi’s friend? I can’t even contact her on WeChat. Did something happen to her?]

It turned out that the arrogant player was only cold to others.

Wei: [I am her attending doctor.]

Seeing that the other party didn’t reply, Wei Shuyi continued sending messages.

Wei: [She had the rare Rudenbach syndrome. Sorry, I couldn’t save her.]

The player didn’t reply.

About twenty days later, Wei Shuyi had logged into Weibo again and saw the player’s reply. He had replied to him two days ago.

Ye Xi: [I went to see her. I didn’t expect that the first time we would meet would be at the cemetery. I saw her photo. She’s even better looking than I thought. She’s skinny and small. I received a package from her twenty days ago. It was a cookie she baked herself. It tasted weird. I don’t know what I want to say. I’m not sure how many years it will be before I fall for another person.. But I’m afraid I’ll never forget the taste of the strange cookie.]
