In the rain, Gu Huaiye was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "connect".
"The zoo's snow leopard had a difficult birth."
Xia Zhining pulled at his sleeve and ran forward, the rain soaking her hair. "We need help adjusting the fetal position and opening the incision!"
She struggled to hold up the big black umbrella, trying to cover Gu Huaiye as well: "Can you help me?"
Gu Huaiye frowned slightly.
Xia Zhining's breathing stopped, thinking he was going to refuse.
The next second, the man's slender fingers had taken the umbrella handle from her hand, and his fingertips with thin calluses inadvertently brushed against her fingertips.
He lowered his wrist, and the black umbrella firmly covered the two of them, creating a dry space in the rain.
"lead the way."
His voice was low, and he kept a suitable distance from her, just vaguely protecting her side.
The raindrops blown in by the slanting wind were blocked by his tall body.
The footsteps of the two people intertwined in the rain as they hurried towards the Snow Leopard House.
Snow Leopard House.
Snow Leopard Silver Blade lay on the ground and wailed: [It hurts——]
Xia Zhining's heart tightened. While disinfecting, she said, "Don't be afraid, Yin Ren. You and your child will be safe soon!"
The breeder has already prepared the surgical instruments for the two.
Gu Huaiye stood in the disinfection area, his fingers skillfully folding the cuffs of his surgical gown. He fastened the mask neatly and beautifully, and tied the thin strap into a knot behind his neck, making his neck look even more slender.
The surgical cap was pulled down, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned corners, which made him look even sharper than when he usually wore a suit.
Xia Zhining changed into surgical gown. The loose robe made her look even thinner, and only a pair of focused doe eyes were revealed above the mask.
The moment her eyes met Gu Huaiye's, they moved in sync without words.
The two men walked to the sides of the snow leopard at the same time and squatted down.
There was no unnecessary communication, but a coordinated stance was formed naturally.
Gu Huaiye probed the snow leopard's abdomen with his fingers, frowning slightly: "The fetus is in an abnormal position and needs to be corrected immediately."
He raised his eyes to look at Xia Zhining, his gaze focused and serious. "I'm not familiar with the muscle patterns of cats."
"I need your guidance on the location and depth."
Xia Zhining immediately understood, and her slender fingers accurately touched several key points on the snow leopard's abdomen.
"Cut here, avoiding this muscle group."
Her fingertips traced the anatomical diagram on the silver blade's abdomen. "A leopard's uterine wall is one-third thinner than a human's, so the movements need to be more gentle."
Gu Huaiye understood very quickly and didn't ask Xia Zhining for any further instructions.
He held a willow leaf in his hand and said, "It will be very painful without anesthesia."
"You need to appease it and cooperate."
Xia Zhining nodded.
"Silver Blade." Xia Zhining comforted the snow leopard while skillfully massaging its acupuncture points to relieve its pain.
"We will use the smallest incision possible to help you have a smooth delivery."
"It will hurt, just bear with it."
The Snow Leopard gasped in pain: [I...believe in you...]
The operation began. Gu Huaiye's movements were precise and neat, and the sharp surgical tools seemed to have life in his hands.
When the blood stained his gloves, he didn't frown at all, only his eyes, which were always cold, were now focused and almost gentle.
The techniques he had developed on the battlefield were quick, accurate and ruthless, but he had to adjust them immediately when Xia Zhining gently reminded him to "lighten up to 30% of your strength".
When encountering abnormal bleeding, Xia Zhining quickly pointed out: "Press here, it's the leopard's unique hemostasis point."
Amid the snow leopard's whimpering, the corners of their white robes occasionally touched and then separated in the mist of disinfectant.
A difficult beast encounter turned out to be unusually smooth.
The two of them worked together seamlessly, as if they were a pair of partners.
Half an hour later.
When Gu Huaiye held out a wet little leopard, Xia Zhining had already prepared a thermal blanket and first aid equipment.
She expertly cleared the cub's airway.
Gu Huaiye noticed the beads of sweat rolling down Xia Zhining's forehead and said in a deep voice, "Let me sew it up."
"We need absorbable sutures," Xia Zhining added with an unsteady breath, "following the direction of the texture..."
Gu Huaiye's movements were quick and decisive.
Xia Zhining was so tired that she was gasping for breath and squatted by the wall to rest.
When I looked up, I saw Gu Huaiye continuing the operation with full energy as if nothing had happened. I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: Isn't this guy's physical strength too abnormal?
