Muchuan And Xiang Wan

His well-defined face was still manly as ever, but Xiang Wan could tell that his face was ashen…

He seemed to be tolerating the pain, yet at the same time, he seemed to not bother about it.

Xiang Wan suddenly felt a tragic kind of feeling that stirred within her as she looked at him.

"Fine, what do you want to hear?"

"Anything."

"…"

She wanted to sing for him, but she did not know what to sing.

Xiang Wan was someone who did not really love singing. Although her voice was fine, she was not the type to let her hair down and sing with all her feelings…

"Why don"t I sing you a song instead?" Lima suddenly opened her mouth.

"…" Everyone fell silent.

"I graduated from a music school."

Mm, a girl who graduated from a music school and was now an actress…

Perhaps her singing would sound more professional…

However, the point was, wouldn"t she feel awkward to suggest this?

After all, Bai Muchuan wanted Xiang Wan to sing!

Lima started to notice the awkwardness as no one replied to her. Her expression stiffened and looked at Xiang Wan a little uncomfortably.

"Or we can sing together?"

Xiang Wan heaved a sigh. "… I"m not good at singing. Why don"t you go ahead?"

Lima did not know what to say. "…"

She was too rash and impetuous earlier.

In the end, she put herself in a predicament. She seemed regretful about it and even sounded a little ashamed in her tone.

"My apologies, I just wanted to do something for everyone. I"ve been a burden after all, and I feel so useless…"

Beautiful women who looked pitiful would tend to make men feel sympathetic toward them.

Of course, the important trait to note was that the woman who was in a pitiful state should be beautiful in the first place.

The atmosphere had changed a little from the stiffness and embarra.s.sment earlier.

A few teammates felt compa.s.sion toward her. "Just sing then, we have nothing to do for now as well—"

"Don"t sing!" Cheng Zheng suddenly disrupted their conversation. "I"ve never had an operation performed with music in the background before!"

"…"

Being the doctor amongst the team, the teammates respected him well.

He immediately managed to terminate the topic.

At the same time, it pulled everyone out of embarra.s.sment.

Xiang Wan took a glance at him with a smile.

Lima heaved a sigh as well, seemingly relieved. "It"s my fault for not considering more…"

At this time, Mei Xin had prepared the necessary tools for the operation and nodded her head at Cheng Zheng.

"Captain Cheng, we can start now."

Cheng Zheng nodded. "Mm, flashlight!"

"Okay!" Mei Xin took the brightest flashlight and stood beside him as his a.s.sistant.

Under Cheng Zheng"s instructions, Tang Yuanchu held Bai Muchuan"s shoulder and arm while Ding Yifan restrained his waist and leg.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense again.

"Bear with it!" Cheng Zheng said with a scalpel on hand, reflecting the light of the fire.

It was s.h.i.+ny and bright that made everyone"s bones chill.

He was as though wanting to create some horror effect as the scalpel got nearer and nearer in front of Bai Muchuan"s eyes like the slow action scenes in movies…

After that, Cheng Zheng gestured with the scalpel. "Where should I start?" he said softly.

After such a long time, the blood had clotted and the outer layer of the skin closed up. He needed to cut it open again, and use the surgical forceps to extract the bullet. Without anesthesia, such an operation procedure was like a form of torture…

Someone in the group gasped.

Bai Muchuan was not afraid, but he felt gooseb.u.mps due to Cheng Zheng"s behavior.

"Just bleeping hurry up!"

Cheng Zheng"s expression darkened. "Stop cussing!"

"I"m bleeping… Ah! D*mn!"

Bai Muchuan had not finished his words when Cheng Zheng"s scalpel had cut into his flesh.

That was sure merciless, accurate, and fast! Cheng Zheng did not give him any room to think.

At that instant, Bai Muchuan"s brain went blank. Next, he saw his blood flowing out from the wound once again as it dripped down his arm. He knew he should not move. He could only grit his teeth…

Xiang Wan covered her mouth and closed her eyes.

She did not dare to look. She could not bear to look.

Cheng Zheng snorted, "It"s not painful, right? I"m gentle already."

Gentle? Bai Muchuan cussed in a low tone, "You bleeping did it on purpose!"

Such an opportunity to seek revenge against him did not come easily. Now that Cheng Zheng had a chance, of course, he had to make full use of it!

"Hmph!" Cheng Zheng did not deny that. "Don"t tremble!" He took a look at Tang Yuanchu. "Hold him tight!"

Tang Yuanchu: "…" Did his hand tremble?

Oh, indeed! He"s trembling a little.

He totally did not realize that he was shaking!

"Captain Cheng, how long will this take?"

"Soon!" Cheng Zheng answered in his usual tone.

"Oh." Tang Yuanchu gasped softly.

Bai Muchuan was in so much pain, yet he did not even shudder. Tang Yuanchu was only holding his arm, yet he felt like he could not take it already.

Imagine what Bai Muchuan was going through!

This was not something ordinary people could tolerate!

"Endure! It"s almost done."

Cheng Zheng dutifully informed.

Mm, by doing so, he had reminded him that the pain was coming again.

The psychological cues are enough, he sighed faintly in his head.

"Hero! An even worse pain is coming soon!"

Bai Muchuan gnashed his teeth as he spoke, "… Stop talking, hurry up!"

Cheng Zheng glanced at him, taking his own sweet time. "Not so fast! This spot contained a lot of blood vessels and nerves."

"I…"

Since there were female comrades with them, Bai Muchuan decided to swallow the profanities he wanted to direct at Cheng Zheng.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the burning fire pit with large drops of perspiration sliding down his forehead to his chin and decided not to say anything.

Cheng Zheng did not lie to him—that most excruciating pain had come.

However, he was very fast.

As the scalpel went into his flesh, the bullet came into sight. He used the forceps and pulled the bullet out in no time.

"Huff!" Bai Muchuan heaved a sigh of relief. Even his brain felt pain.

"Done." Cheng Zheng removed his gloves and instructed Mei Xin. "Apply some medicine around the wound and dress it up!"

From the beginning till the end, there was no sign of any emotion on his face. He was as though a cold-blooded animal that could not feel nor see the pain of others.

Nevertheless, Cheng Zheng was very professional as he was swift and adept. Even though he seemed nasty to Bai Muchuan in his words. In actual fact, he had greatly reduced the amount of pain by reducing the time needed to finish the operation.

After the immense pain subsided and Mei Xin finished dressing up his wound, Bai Muchuan patted on the wound and went to sit beside Xiang Wan. He looked as if he transformed into a wolf cub who needed consolation. "It"s so painful! I need healing."

He turned his head to look at Xiang Wan with a smile on his face.

Xiang Wan chuckled. "…"

Geez, there are so many people here! She dissed inside her head.

Bai Muchuan shot an unhappy glance. "Hurry up!"

What a tsundere!

Xiang Wan felt annoyed and amused. Ultimately, she quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"Are you better now?"

Bai Muchuan thought seriously for a moment. "One more kiss and I"ll be fine."

"You—" Xiang Wan raised her hand with a smile, as though she wanted to hit him.

Although she did not hit him, Bai Muchuan immediately frowned. "Tsk, it"s so painful!"

"…" Xiang Wan felt speechless.

Looking at his playful expression under the dark sky, she suddenly felt a little sad.

Although kissing each other in public was so embarra.s.sing to her and might seem a little pretentious…

She thought about the uncertainty of what tomorrow would bring, and how much longer they could behave intimately with each other—if all these were unknown to them, why should she feel bothered?

After Xiang Wan thought it through, she cupped his face seriously. Under the numerous cheers and laughter of their teammates, she kissed him on his lips.

Their lips came in contact for a couple of seconds and slowly broke away from each other.

A pair of s.h.i.+ny eyes were looking at her with a smile.

"How is it? Are you better now?"

"… Hmm, much better."

Sir Little Bai"s problem of being a tsundere made it look as though it would never heal.

Xiang Wan"s lips twitched and she leaned in for another kiss on his cheek. "What should we do now? My leg and your arm… both of us are hurt."

"This just means we"re meant for each other!" Bai Muchuan did not think much of the wounds.

"Stop being so mushy!" Xiang Wan poked him when she showed a serious expression. "Look! Salimu"s back—"
