Excessive bleeding interfered with the surgeon’s ability to judge the organs and tissues inside the human body, and to maintain the Chief Surgeon’s clear line of sight, or a clear surgical field, the blood had to be suctioned away promptly along with stopping it.

At that moment, Xie Wanying heard Teacher Tan, who seldom issued commands, give an order: “Suction.”

Teacher’s voice was steady, indicating that the situation was under control.

The First Assistant was busy tying knots to help the Chief Surgeon ligate the bleeding points. The Second Assistant, Sun Yubo, started to move, holding the tube of the suction device and placing it inside the patient’s abdominal cavity.

“What are you suctioning?”

Hearing the Chief Surgeon say this, Dr. Xiao Sun’s hand froze as he held the suction tube: “Yes—”

Through a gap in her line of sight, Xie Wanying tried to identify the problem and saw that the suction device Teacher Xiao Sun was holding was actually pressed against what appeared to be a fragile peritoneal surface.

Cancer patients have thinner tissues, and a single suction could easily tear through the blood. However, the blood had to be completely suctioned; otherwise, an unclean surgical field would earn a scolding from the Chief Surgeon.

Operating the suction device was a particularly tricky task, hence it was assigned to the Second Assistant.

“Did you suction the blood?” Tan Kelin asked again.

Dr. Xiao Sun’s voice was faint as he replied, “I did—”

He was afraid that moving the suction head even a tiny bit closer would tear it, yet that area was covered in blood.

“Give it to me,” Liu Chengran said, probably wanting to help his junior brother.

“Let him suction,” Teacher Tan said.

The First Assistant could only listen to the Chief Surgeon.

Dr. Xiao Sun’s breathing was rigid, and beads of sweat had long since erupted on his forehead. The nurse hadn’t managed to wipe them away in time.

“Suction!”

Tan Kelin intensified his tone, his voice remained soft, but his tone was significant, as if a bucket of Arctic ice water or a knife was hanging over Dr. Xiao Sun’s head.

Xie Wanying thought, Teacher Tan was probably just one outburst away from saying: I’m here, what are you afraid of?! You’re even scared to suction when I’m here?

Clinical teachers often feel frustrated with young students and doctors, wishing they could be more resilient.

Some say Teacher Tan has a bad temper; perhaps this was what they meant. On reconsideration, Xie Wanying understood: Teacher Tan was a strict elder who, when he wanted to teach someone a lesson, would quite literally push your head down and make you do the very thing you feared.

To this? It would be better to be scolded—

While others could only imagine, if crying were an option, Dr. Xiao Sun’s eyes might well be brimming with tears.

No matter how much one wanted to cry or was scolded, the work had to be done meticulously and obediently.

Dr. Xiao Sun thought he could cheat by flushing with a syringe to clear the field of vision, but the Chief Surgeon wouldn’t allow it; he was only allowed to suction.

He could not defy Tan Kelin’s will. Clearly, Tan Kelin was insistent on making him do what he dreaded. That was why this man was very terrifying, extremely so.

Now, as Dr. Xiao Sun cautiously moved his trembling hand, everyone could see that his fingertips were numb and he was merely following Tan Kelin’s instructions.

Dr. Liu Chengran had his suturing material ready in both hands, waiting to assist as soon as his junior brother tore through with the suction.

Suddenly, the tube of the suction device began to suction blood with a whoosh.

Had the suction head finally made contact and begun to suction the blood? It hardly seemed to have moved.

Could it be his own luck kicking in? Dr. Xiao Sun blinked.

Dr. Liu Chengran also blinked, a bit puzzled.

Beneath the magnifying glasses, Tan Kelin’s eyes, with a sudden jab, turned directly towards someone’s face: You?

Feeling the sharp gaze of Teacher Tan, Xie Wanying’s heart skipped a beat: Teacher Tan seemed to have seen through her actions in an instant.
