Chapter 559: Can’t Eat Xiaoqi (Part 1)
He put his arm around Ruan Qi's shoulders, protecting her in his arms like a calf, and said to Barkley in a cold tone: "Be gentle."
Barkley: “…”
This is for disinfecting wounds!
Can it still have a sterilizing effect if the force is too light? !
Stop nagging me. Why don’t you do it yourself?
Barkley cursed in his heart but didn't dare to say a word.
Fortunately, the injured patient Ruan Qi was very understanding and persevered, allowing him to completely eliminate the poison.
The wound on the upper body was quickly treated. Barkley held the tweezers and stared at Ruan Qi's jeans with an embarrassed look on his face.
Normally, doctors treated patients' wounds without regard for gender. There were many women in the Eagle Division, and Barkley had treated them all when they were injured while on missions.
However, Ruan Qi is Xi Jiu's fiancée.
And Xi Jiu is his boss, a boss who is very possessive and petty.
Barkley was very worried that if he took off Ruan Qi's pants today, Xi Jiu would hang him on the rooftop of the Eagle Department Building tomorrow and expose him to the sun for three days.
Barkley felt he was still going to die.
He looked up at Xi Jiu and said gently, "Boss, will you treat the injury on Madam's leg yourself?"
Barkley thought Xi Jiu would be happy to do this.
But he didn't expect that Xi Jiu actually rejected his proposal, "You are a professional, you do it."
"?!" Barkley said in disbelief, "Me, me?"
Xi Jiu hummed, lifted the curtain and pointed outside, "You go out first. I'll help Xiao Qi take off his pants before you come in."
Barkley walked away in a daze.
Xi Jiu pulled the curtain back up, then walked to the examination bed and helped Ruan Qi lie down on the bed.
"Baby, can you take off your pants?"
Ruan Qi nodded obediently, her beautiful peach blossom eyes showing no guard at all, only trust.
Xi Jiu felt like his life was about to be extinguished.
He took a deep breath, drove away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and reached out to grab the waistband of Ruan Qi's pants.
The little girl had a very thin waist, and the waistband of her dark blue jeans wrapped around her skin, so loose that it seemed like it could fall off with a pull.
Xi Jiu tried his best to focus on his pants. He quickly unbuttoned them, then lifted the little girl's legs and pulled the pants down bit by bit.
The attractive snow-white skin was gradually exposed to the air, along with two hideous gunshot wounds on the outside of the thigh.
These two gunshot wounds were more terrifying than all the wounds on Ruan Qi's upper body. The bright red flesh was turned inside out, and the blood had coagulated into dark red. If the wounds were a few centimeters deeper, the bones might be visible.
Xi Jiu suddenly lost all his romantic thoughts.
He hung his jeans aside, then took his coat and covered Ruan Qi's waist, covering all the parts that should not be exposed.
After doing all this, Xi Jiu lifted the curtain and called Barkley in.
Barkley walked to the examination bed and saw the coat covering Ruan Qi, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great. I don’t have to be hung on the rooftop in the sun by my boss tomorrow.
He said "Amen" in his heart, turned his eyes and saw the wound on Ruan Qi's leg.
"Oh my God!" Barkley began to panic again. "This injury may need stitches."
Xi Jiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The girl is so delicate and has such tender skin, how could she endure such suffering?
"Is there no other way?" he asked.
"No." Barkley shook his head. "Even the best surgeon in the world would need stitches to treat a wound like this."
Barkley was right. Such a deep wound can only heal faster with stitches.
However, Ruan Qi had another method. Her master had a special medicine for external injuries. After applying it on the wound, there was no need for stitches and it would heal within 24 hours.
But her big medicine box was blown up on Third Avenue, and the trauma medicine turned into ashes along with the medicine box.
So, stitches are the only option now.
Xi Jiu was reluctant to let the little girl suffer and was still hesitant. But Ruan Qi made the decision herself.
"Just stitch it up. More anesthetic will make it less painful."
Barkley didn't expect that the little girl, who looked delicate, was actually more decisive than Xi Jiu. He couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"Beautiful lady, I must remind you that there is a high chance of scarring after stitches."
"It's okay." Ruan Qi waved her hand nonchalantly. "I have the best scar removal cream, so I'm not afraid of this. Just sew it up, and make it look good for me."
Barkley turned his head to look at Xi Jiu, who nodded with a cold face.
The tools for suturing the wound were quickly prepared.
Barkley gave Ruan Qi anesthesia, picked up the curved needle with his sterile gloved hand, and placed the needle tip on Ruan Qi's skin.
Xi Jiu immediately covered Ruan Qi's eyes and pressed her face into his arms.
The needle pierced the white and tender skin, pulling out a long thread. Although she had been given anesthesia, the numbness still made Ruan Qi uncomfortable.
She clutched the corner of Xi Jiu's clothes tightly, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Xi Jiu patted her back repeatedly, silently comforting the little girl. But his eyes were fixed on the needle, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line with tension.
Barkley had excellent suturing skills and he sutured the wound in just a few strokes.
He cut the surgical sutures and threw the instruments into the sterilizer. "Don't let the wound get wet, and avoid spicy food. Come to my place for another disinfection tomorrow morning. By the way," Barkley looked at Xi Jiu, his tone meaningful, "don't do strenuous exercise before the stitches are removed. Especially if it will strain your leg. Don't do it."
…
After leaving Barkley's office, Xi Jiu carried Ruan Qi back to his resting place.
It was already past three in the morning, with only a few hours until dawn. Ruan Qi was exhausted after a long day of hard work. Before she even returned to her room, her eyelids were already drooping uncontrollably.
Seeing that she was sleepy, Xi Jiu quickly carried her back to the bedroom.
As soon as Ruan Qi reached the bed, she immediately lay down on it. But soon, she seemed to remember something and sat up again.
"I haven't showered yet, so I can't go to bed."
Xi Jiu, who was taking off her shoes, raised his head and said, "Baby, you are injured. You can't touch the water."
When Ruan Qi heard this, her brows immediately twisted into a small knot.
"Jiujiu, I'm covered in dirt. If I don't take a shower tonight, I'll be like stinky tofu pickled in a small pot tomorrow. Can you bear to see me stink like this?"
The little girl had an expression of 'I hate myself'.
Xi Jiu chuckled softly and teased her, "Stinky tofu is delicious. If the baby turns into stinky tofu, I will eat it."
"!" Ruan Qi opened her peach blossom eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.
"Jiujiu, you've changed! You're no longer that upright dog!"
Xi Jiu was not ashamed, but proud. He curled his lips and said, "An upright dog can't eat Xiao Qi."
