12 Miss Guan (1/2)

'Sigh…' Hearing many footsteps approaching him, Wuxing sighed as he had to cease his attempts at taking the bullet out of the wound for now. He never actually tried to put his fingers inside the wound but rather pretended that he did. Getting an infection wasn't in his plans at all.

As Wuxing looked up to see who was coming, he saw five people speeding towards them. Two of them were dressed in clean white medical cloaks buttoned up from head to toe but the lady who ran in front of him was much more casual, having her cloak unbuttoned while wearing a woollen white dress underneath it. The last two were guards with rifles ready to protect the medics if anything happens.

”Where are you putting your dirty fingers! Do you want to get an infection?!” The young lady cursed angrily at Wuxing for even trying to put his fingers next to his wound. According to her, his job was to stop the blood from leaking and leave the rest to the experts. The medic girl didn't waste any more time as she approached Wuxing and quickly got into action.

Looking at the current situation, Wuxing decided to change his plans. He realised that she wouldn't be that easy to trick. In her almond eyes, he could see that she wasn't a weak lady. While he was observing her, she had already started cleaning the wound on his shoulder. There was a high chance that Wuxing would bleed out by the time they reached the medical building, so they had to operate on the field.

Wuxing knew that as long as the bullet wasn't taken out, its sharp edges would continue to rip apart his tissues with each movement and apparently this lady doctor knew it too. She was ready to pull the bullet out, while her assistants held the sterilized medical tools on the metal tray.

”I'm fine, I can pull the bullet myself…” Wuxing smiled as he reached out his hand to stop her, but his hand was slapped away before she cursed him again, ”Shut up! Lay him down on the stretcher and hold him tightly, so that he doesn't move! I need to pull the bullet out before he bleeds to death!”

”Yes, Miss Guan!” The helpers nodded happily and quickly carried out her orders. They felt extremely blessed to be working with her. Admiring her beauty was their everyday pleasure.

Wuxing didn't resist this time as he knew there was no point in arguing, so he let them lift him up and lay down on the prepared stretcher. Having a small bag underneath his head, he could see exactly what the lady doctor was doing. What's more, he could now actually take a closer look at her, which Wuxing normally didn't do. Most of the times he would just remember specific features that could allow him to identify the person later.

Miss Guan as she was called by others was actually very pretty as he took a closer look at her. She was nowhere near his ideal General Leng Xue who he fell in love with at first sight, but she could still appear in the top of his list. Her long hair was black, partially tied in a single ponytail at the back with the rest softly tumbling with elegance at the front which she had a habit of putting behind her ears.

They weren't long enough to be put into a ponytail but it worked perfectly as they added a beautiful mixture of sweet and spicy feeling to her usual serious look. Her almond coloured eyes glittered with diligence above the haughty slope of her nose. There was a sense of assurance around her which made the patient calm down and facilitated her to do her job in peace.

She looked quite tall, being only a few centimetres shorter than Wuxing and definitely younger than him, still having the signs of youthful energy. Her surname suggested that she was from the same regions as him, but her silken porcelain skin and general beauty suggested that one of her parents was definitely of a different race.

”Gather the blood with the gauze as I will try to pull out the bullet.” Miss Guan ordered as she wiped her forehead with her forearm since her gloves were all covered in blood. She had just cut Wuxings skin wider, along the wound with a scalpel as it was too small for her to access and find her target.

With the widened wound blood was flowing much faster than before but there was nothing she could do other than increase the speed of her long-fingered hands which already fluttered swiftly all around his shoulder.

Miss Guan picked the bullet forceps from the tray and actually hovered across Wuxing chest to get a better look at the wound. She also needed to give access to her assistants to help her clean the wound from excess blood. The guards weren't happy with her approaching Wuxing this close but they had no say in what she was doing.
