First Watch.

Who are the most lovable people?

When she studied this lesson, she lived in a peaceful era without any wars. She was moved by the teacher’s emotional recitation but couldn’t truly understand the essence the article aimed to convey.

But now, she understands and realizes that, indeed, some things can only be truly comprehended through firsthand experience.

In ancient times, there was the practice of scraping bones to treat poison, limited by conditions. But now, this twenty-one-year-old young man is desperately enduring a pain akin to scraping bones, biting on a towel that gradually turns red, with veins on his forehead, neck, and arms seeming to leap from his body. Yet, from start to finish, the young soldier doesn’t utter a sound...

With a clang, the extracted bullet is tossed onto the tray. Chuxia, who has been tense, slowly exhales and looks at the young soldier with admiration in her eyes...

Noticing Chuxia’s gaze, a blush appears on the young soldier’s already pale face. Doctor Qiao, finishing the final suturing, teases with a smile, "Little junior, it seems choosing you as an assistant was very necessary. In a pinch, you can serve as plasma."

The young soldier’s face blushes even more...

Chuxia looks at Doctor Qiao speechlessly. How could he be so unkind? Didn’t he see the young soldier was enduring to the point of shock? Yet, seeing the soldier’s more pronounced blush, she thinks Doctor Qiao might have a point. Just not sure if the Division Commander knows about this feature, would he prevent her from being Doctor Qiao’s assistant?

"You go ahead." Doctor Qiao hands Chuxia the suture needle, "Suturing the skin shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?" Of course, he hopes to give his little junior more opportunities to practice.

Accepting the needle, Chuxia smiles gratefully at him and begins to operate seriously.

Real stitching on a person is truly her first time. No matter how talented she is, or how much Elder Yuan and Elder Yu adore her, they only let her assist and observe, never allowing her to perform the actual operation.

It’s not a lack of trust; she hasn’t graduated yet and hasn’t obtained her medical license. To truly operate, the patient’s consent is required, and the result is, no patient is willing to let her do it...

Having practiced countless times, she still feels a bit nervous in the actual battle, seeming a little hesitant. "It’s okay, I don’t hurt." The young soldier encourages Chuxia with a trembling voice before biting the towel tightly again.

Clearing her mind, discarding all distractions, her heart instantly calms down, her eyes focused solely on the wound that needs suturing, nothing else...

The smooth and flowing movements elicit a slight approving smile from Doctor Qiao, who turns to Qi Xiang standing aside: "My little junior is absolutely a good seedling; she can handle some minor surgeries independently now."

Knowing that he is seeking her opinion, she thinks for a moment and then glances at the skilled and calm Chuxia. Qi Xiang nods, "I agree, but you still need to mention it to Captain Huang."

Doctor Qiao laughs, "I’ll talk to Captain Huang later. After all, my little junior is assigned to Group Leader Song, so I must first consult Group Leader Song for his opinion."

"You’re just pretending..." Qi Xiang shakes her head with amusement, "If I disagree, would you dismiss the idea?"

"No." Doctor Qiao looks at Qi Xiang plainly, "But in principle, I still hope to gain your support. Harmonious relations differ significantly from disharmonious ones in getting things done."

"That’s why I said you’re pretending; we’ve known each other not just for a day or two. You could just state your ideas straightforwardly, couldn’t you? Qiao Jianhua, this is what I dislike most about you, being pretentious!"

"Alright, I’ll change..." Doctor Qiao smiles good-naturedly, "Next time, I’ll tell you directly about anything, okay?"

"Mm."

"Qi Xiang, take good care of the little junior. Being so young, coming here requires immense courage. Especially for a genius like her, it’s even harder. While we give her opportunities, we need to let her feel our care."

Qi Xiang stared at Doctor Qiao speechlessly: "Do I seem like someone who would make things difficult for her? If I intended to do that, would I have kept her here as an assistant?"

Doctor Qiao hurriedly explained: "You’ve misunderstood me, I didn’t mean that you would make things difficult for her. What I mean is, for such an outstanding child, there will inevitably be team members who are not that open-minded and might exclude her. When that happens, I hope you can help her as much as possible."

After a slight pause, Qi Xiang nodded: "Hmm, you’re right, that’s probably unavoidable. However, my influence is limited to my own group; I can’t control others. If there’s anything lacking, you can’t blame me."

"Look at what you’re saying. I’m grateful that you’re looking out for my junior sister, how could I blame you? Her main area of activity is within your group. As long as there’s no trouble in your group, the chances of other groups making things difficult for her are low, right?"

"That’s true." Qi Xiang nodded, "Anyhow, it’s best you also inform Captain Huang. I don’t want such a promising talent to waste energy on conflicts, but that’s something unavoidable anywhere. We’ve all been through this phase, so I don’t need to say more, you get it, right?"

"I absolutely understand..." Doctor Qiao wryly shook his head, "I was often excluded back then, not because I was particularly outstanding, but because I was close to Elder Qi who taught me more. Those people would deny and mock me openly while secretly sabotaging me. Actually, Elder Qi’s firm refusal to take me as a disciple was for my own good. At that time..." He shook his head and stopped talking.

"Indeed, this child is lucky not to be in our generation..." With a long sigh, Qi Xiang quickly gathered her thoughts, "Alright, rest assured, I will certainly do my utmost to protect this promising talent."

Just as Chuxia finished her final touches, she turned around gratefully towards the two: "Senior brother, Group Leader Qi, actually, I don’t like any kind of conflicts either. If I can focus on what I love, that would be the best. Thank you!"

Qi Xiang waved her hand: "Alright, we’ve reached a consensus, no need for more pleasantries, but you must be mentally prepared. If you’re to independently take on some minor operations, you’ll become very busy.

Of course, we won’t let you operate independently right away since you haven’t officially graduated; neither of us has that authority, so we’ll have to discuss it with Captain Huang.

If she agrees, then for a while, you’ll have to follow Doctor Qiao as an assistant, and only when Doctor Qiao believes you can fully operate independently will you truly start working.

This means, whenever Doctor Qiao is on duty, you must be on duty with him. This work intensity is far more demanding than that of ordinary medical staff.

Also, you need to be mentally prepared that if any mistake occurs, not only us, but you will certainly face disciplinary action. If you can accept all this, once today’s work is finished, we will go and talk to Captain Huang."

Doctor Qiao awkwardly scratched his head. He hadn’t thought about these details, he just believed her skills were very strong, and with personnel shortage, the right talents should be placed in the right positions. Qi Xiang’s reminder made him realize he was too hasty!

He himself was not afraid of bearing responsibility; the main concern was his junior sister, at such a young age. If this decision of his caused irreparable consequences, then he would truly have helped for nothing.

Observing the expressions on their faces, Chuxia realized she was being too simplistic. She assumed she had to be restricted by rules and regulations at the hospital but could handle things flexibly here. She hadn’t anticipated that her senior brother got excited knowing she was Elder Qi’s disciple and didn’t think deeply enough...

Feeling somewhat disappointed...

Chuxia quickly adjusted her mindset, looked seriously at the two: "Whether or not it works out, I’m deeply grateful for the care from Senior Brother and Group Leader Qi.

This isn’t a trivial matter; it concerns health and life. So, whether Captain Huang agrees or not, I hope to train more alongside Doctor Qiao."

Such an attitude made Qi Xiang look at Chuxia with newfound respect. She watched Chuxia’s excitement earlier; normally, children at this age, no matter how sensible they are, will be affected by disappointment following excitement. Even if adjusted, it’s hard to let go immediately. Frankly, Doctor Qiao’s actions were like playing tricks on people, yet the young girl wasn’t the least bit resentful. Such caliber certainly warrants her help!

Doctor Qiao needs no mention. He liked his junior sister very much, was worried how to explain his foolish act to her, but she wasn’t the least bit resentful! Whether or not she resented him could be seen clearly from her eyes!

"Junior sister, don’t worry. If Captain Huang disagrees, you’ll stay by my side. Within my authority, anything you feel confident about, I’ll support you!"

"I support you too." The young soldier, having recomposed himself, said blushingly, "Though I don’t understand medicine, Doctor Xiao Lin did a great job earlier because..." He shyly glanced at Doctor Qiao, "Compared to before, what she did made the pain feel a bit less for me, and that’s very, very important for us."

"Hehe..." Doctor Qiao chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head, "You wouldn’t let us use anesthesia. I was hasty, and therefore quicker, which inevitably made you feel unbearable pain..."

"I’m not blaming you..." The young soldier hastily explained, "I just wanted to prove something since I saw how much importance you and Group Leader Qi placed on Doctor Xiao Lin!" (To be continued.
