Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 636 You are my only sister

The method was brutal but effective; the man didn't cry out in pain until the surgery was over.

The surgeon wiped his sweat, a smug smile on his face, and said to Xu Weiwei, "How was it? Did you learn something?"

Xu Weiwei blushed with embarrassment: "I've learned something..."

"Hahahaha!"

"'Prioritizing life, rapid response, and minimalist operation' is not just empty words. You'll understand as you experience more. Actually, this is already quite stringent. Sometimes, our soldiers don't even have these conditions. You can't imagine how harsh it is."

"The same surgical procedure might involve 108 steps in clinical practice, but your textbooks teach 18 steps. In a real emergency, it only takes 8 steps. That's how military doctors are. That's why people call us 'veterinarians'."

Xu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The military doctor who was telling her this looked at her with eyes full of affection.

A prodigy, with numerous awards and a prestigious family background... Despite all these accolades, she has no arrogance whatsoever.

He's receptive to advice, hardworking, highly skilled, and has leadership abilities. Crucially, he knows his limits and doesn't try to stand out. Young people like this are incredibly likable.

Before long, the next patient had been brought in.

The military doctor who had spoken earlier stood up and said to Xu Weiwei, "You will be the lead surgeon this time."

Xu Weiwei did not refuse. Such opportunities for training were rare, and she had to accept the other party's kindness. In front of a military doctor with rich combat experience, she could perform with confidence because the other party was capable of supervising her to prevent mistakes.

There are only four people here. The anesthesiologist finished theirs first and then went to the next room. They haven't come down yet.

Xu Weiwei then asked, "What about anesthesia?"

"Whatever, it's fine. It doesn't require general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia."

"But I haven't obtained my anesthesiology license yet."

After she finished speaking, the three of them burst into laughter, as if they had heard a joke.

The surgeon, while laughing, asked her, "So, do you know how?"

"Yes, I will..." Xu Weiwei said hesitantly.

The surgeon nudged her with his elbow: "If you know how, you can do it! What's so difficult about subcutaneous injections? You can do it with your hands!"

"In such a remote place, who will supervise you? Is there any surveillance here? Or will patients complain and sue you? If we really investigated, we would have been shot eight hundred times over."

"You little girl, you've only been in school for a year, how come you're already so dogmatic?"

Xu Weiwei smiled awkwardly and started working without saying a word.

Surgeries came one after another, and she didn't have a moment's rest all day. She ate only intravenous nutrition. The other doctors were in the same boat.

During this time, I overheard a patient mention Peach Blossom, saying that she was receiving treatment outside and that people with minor injuries were going to her for help with bandaging. I originally wanted to go over there too, but a soldier stopped me and insisted that I come here to get my stitches.

Xu Weiwei was overjoyed to learn that Taohua was still alive. The two were classmates, and Taohua, who was three years older than her, always took care of her like an older sister. She had just been too busy to visit her today.

"And what about the priest?" Xu Weiwei asked casually.

The man's mood instantly sombered: "The priestess died five days ago and was buried on the eastern mountain, right where the Ula grass grows."

Xu Weiwei remained silent. She already knew this result, but hearing it with her own ears gave her a sense of finality.

In the second half, neither of them knew what to say.

The man stared blankly at the tent ceiling, his eyes unfocused, filled with uncertainty about the future, unsure of his next step. What would become of these people, clinging to life?

This wasn't just his personal dilemma; it was a problem faced by everyone who survived. Even young children, who didn't understand, could sense this unsettling atmosphere.

Xu Weiwei understood their helplessness, but she couldn't make any promises on behalf of her father or her country. She could only remain silent.

As the daylight faded, the surroundings grew increasingly dark. Lights were then turned on inside and around the tent.

After seeing off the last patient, Xu Weiwei and the others were all so exhausted they were barely hanging on.

Some people ran out of battery and lay down on the ground, while others leaned on each other with their heads tilted to the side.

"Where's the nutrient solution? Give me another bottle..."

"I also want……"

"..."

"Go get it."

"I want to move."

Xu Weiwei spaced out for a while before realizing she couldn't sit any longer. A strong emptiness came from her abdomen, her head was dizzy, and her eyelids were drooping, as if glued together. She could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

But that won't work in such an environment.

I need to go back to bed and sleep...

Xu Weiwei stood up, but the next second, as if she had lost power, everything went black and she collapsed to the ground.

They arrived in the evening in Beijing, which coincided with daytime in Goodell. This meant that these doctors and soldiers were working around the clock.

It's perfectly normal that they might not be able to hold on.

Xu Weiwei slept very soundly.

When I woke up again, I found myself back in my room, lying comfortably in bed. It was dark all around, with only the bedside lamp casting a soft glow.

Xu Weiwei raised her hand to check the time, but first saw the IV needle on the back of her hand, and then looked at the head of the bed, where there were indeed several empty bottles hanging.

The computer shows it's 6 PM Beijing time. That should correspond to... Goodell's morning or early morning.

She slept for almost ten hours. That's a really long time... I wonder how she is now after all this time.

"Master, you're awake." The voice from Number Seven, who was waiting in the corner, startled her.

"Yesterday evening, you collapsed in the tent due to overexertion and lack of energy. After receiving intravenous fluids, your vital signs improved somewhat, but you are still in a weak state. You need to rest well and consume protein, carbohydrates, and fats..."

Just as Number Seven was rambling on, a groan suddenly came from the side of the bed. Xu Weiwei thought she had misheard and turned her head to confirm, only to see a horrifying scene that made her scream in fright.

Like a zombie in a horror movie, a straight upper body folded up from the ground.

Xu Weiwei's hair stood on end, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was Ryan.

She let out a long sigh and muttered speechlessly, "Are you sick... deliberately hiding here to scare me?"

Ryan yawned and stood up from the ground: "You're the one who's sick. Even animals don't act like this. I kindly slept on the floor here to take care of you, and you come up here and start slandering me. You're such an ingrate."

Xu Weiwei peeked out and saw the bedding on the ground. Feeling guilty, she said, "That's because you're used to teasing me... Thank you."

"You're welcome, what can I do? I'm your brother." Ryan's expression was quite smug.

He rarely showed any brotherly dignity in front of his sister, so he worked hard to earn this opportunity to accompany her.

Seeing his sister so obedient, he quickly became arrogant: "I'm not trying to criticize you, but this wasn't your job to begin with. Just help out within your capabilities. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? You're just trying to make yourself look impressive. I'm warning you, Celia, don't be too much of a hero."

It only takes a second to go from being touched to getting angry. Xu Weiwei can't understand how humans can have a punching bag personality like Ryan, who is always asking for a beating.

Ryan also gave an exaggerated "Ha!": "I don't understand either. How can a human being have a masochistic personality like yours, being even more ruthless to yourself than a slave owner? The St. Sophie Cathedral should take down the image of the Virgin Mary and hang you up instead."

Xu Weiwei: "..."

"You look awful when you're being sarcastic."

"It looks better than you being half-dead!"

Ryan was fuming, getting angrier the more he talked, and eventually his face crumpled up and he started to tear up.

Xu Weiwei panicked and said helplessly, "Don't cry, why are you making yourself cry after scolding me? I haven't even cried yet..."

Ryan, a large, chubby girl, stood there with her fists clenched and her hands hanging down, her eyes and nose red, stubbornly and aggrievedly "accusing" her of "misdeeds":

"It's all because of you! You never listen to us... You only care about yourself and never consider our feelings... Your parents cherish you so much, but you don't appreciate it at all. All you do is make people angry... You don't value your own worthless life at all... Have you ever thought about how heartbroken your parents, grandparents, and others would be if something happened to you... You're unfilial!!!"

Xu Weiwei quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his tears and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I was unfilial. But this was a special situation, a matter of life and death. I promise I'll be more careful in the future, okay?"

"What do you mean by 'human life is at stake'?! You don't even realize your mistake! You mean you'll do the same thing again in similar situations?! When are you ever going to put your own life first?!"

"I……"

Xu Weiwei was stunned by the question.

She couldn't understand how things had suddenly escalated to such a serious level. She had only fainted; it wasn't anything seriously wrong. Just as she was about to explain, Ryan suddenly hugged her tightly.

"You're my only sister, you can't die, sob sob sob..."

Xu Weiwei was both amused and exasperated. In that instant, she felt that Ryan was like Beta, like a big dog.

She purred at the dog's head, repeatedly assuring it, "I won't die, I won't die... I love you all too, how could I die so easily... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
