Chapter 337: Feather of Wood, Heart of Water
The reason why Qi Xu knows so much about obstetrics and gynecology is thanks to her good friend Tang Qin during her college days.
Originally, the girl was a surgeon like her, but later, for some reason, she switched to obstetrics and gynecology. Since then, she has been teaching her about childbirth every day, and she was the one who taught her about underwater birthing.
Later, when they were in their junior year, Tang Qin broke up with her because of a very small matter, and the two inseparable best friends didn't speak to each other for a whole year.
After graduation, Qi Xu chose to work to make a living. He heard that Tang Qin chose to study abroad.
The two have had no contact for so many years.
But nothing in the world happens by chance.
Just when Lu Yiyi showed signs of difficult labor and Qi Xu was anxious and sweating but helpless, Song Wen finally found an obstetrician and gynecologist.
And this person is Tang Qin.
The moment the old friends met again, both of them were stunned.
"Wood's Feather?"
"Heart of Water?"
These were the nicknames Qi Xu and Tang Qin gave each other when they were good friends.
"Ha! Qi Xu, you really are haunting me. I've even gone abroad to hide, but you still won't let me go!"
Song Wen was a little surprised.
"You two, do you know each other?"
Tang Qin gritted her teeth and spat out a word.
"Not only do I know her, but I'm also incompatible with her, we're destined to clash, and we have a deep hatred!"
Qi Xu was too lazy to argue with her and still called her by her old name.
"Shui Zhixin, are you sick? How did I offend you? Isn't it just because I accidentally broke your laptop that year? You want to break up with me? Is there any friend as stingy as you?"
"Moreover, you knew I was broke at the time, yet you still forced me to pay back the debt within three days. I begged you to give me a few more days, but you refused. Later, I managed to collect the money and paid it back."
Tang Qin immediately retorted.
"It's only natural to compensate for the damage to someone else's property. You were the first to call me a bad friend."
After so many years, Qi Xu didn't want to bring up the past because of those trivial matters.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Although we are friends, friends should also settle accounts clearly. I broke your things, so I should compensate you according to the price. I apologize to you again. I'm sorry!"
"My good sister is in danger now. Can you please help save her?"
With the patient in front of her, Tang Qin didn't dwell on the past. She simply picked up the fetal heart rate monitor and checked Lu Yiyi.
Quickly, make a decision.
"She has insufficient amniotic fluid, the fetus is in distress, and may suffer from hypoxia. She must be delivered immediately to escape danger."
"Qi Xu, hurry up, give her an oxytocin injection, I'll deliver her baby."
"Then, prepare all the surgical instruments. If the cervix is less than ten fingers dilated within ten minutes, immediately switch to a cesarean section!"
With the help of oxytocin, the cervix opened faster, and the fetus couldn't wait to come out. But Lu Yiyi was in so much pain that she didn't have the strength to push.
If she can't exert any strength, it will be even harder for her to give birth.
"Qi Xu, glucose, nutrient solution, follow up!"
With the help of medicine and the cooperation and efforts of Tang Qin and Qi Xu, Lu Yiyi finally opened her cervix.
Tang Qin, who helped her deliver the baby, was also sweating profusely. Qi Xu casually picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off her face naturally.
And Tang Qin gave her orders without any hesitation.
"water!"
Qi Xu thought it was for Lu Yiyi and answered immediately. "Okay, I'll feed her."
Tang Qin rolled her eyes at her. "It's not the woman in labor, it's me!"
"Oh!" Qi Xu inserted a thick straw into the water and handed the cup to her mouth.
After drinking, Tang Qin said two cold words again.
“Take it away!”
Then, Qi Xu encouraged Lu Yiyi again.
"Sister, come on, try harder. You must give birth to the baby safely. I'm still waiting for you to be my bridesmaid."
These words not only encouraged Lu Yiyi, but also stimulated Tang Qin.
"What? Mu Zhiyu, you're getting married?"
"Wow!……"
The baby's weak cry broke everyone's tense heartstrings.
Several hearts that were hanging in the throat finally fell back into the heart.
"Great, great, the baby is finally born!"
"Look, it's a little boy! I saw his little bird!" Song Wen couldn't help clapping and screaming.
Tang Qin grabbed the baby's legs and slapped his butt rhythmically.
But the child's voice is quieter than a mosquito.
Tang Qin immediately picked up a soft tube and inserted it into the fetus's mouth to help him suck out the amniotic fluid and breathe.
Qi Xu methodically handled the placenta, dressing and other residues for Lu Yiyi, sutured her wounds, and helped her press her stomach to expel lochia.
After Tang Qin cleaned the child, she wrapped him in a small quilt and held him up to show Lu Yiyi.
"Mom, look at your baby. He's beautiful and healthy. He's a boy, weighing 4.92 jins. He was born at 5:45 pm, Country Y time."
Lu Yiyi pulled the corners of her pale mouth, revealing a loving smile, and gently kissed the baby on the face.
"Baby! Mommy loves you!"
"Qiqi, can you help me take care of the baby? I'm so tired and want to sleep!"
Qi Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and made a promise to her.
"Yiyi, you've worked hard. Sleep well, I'll take care of everything."
Tang Qin used a baby feeding syringe to feed the baby some milk powder, and he fell asleep.
Finally, the two sweating doctors had a chance to take a breath.
"Mu Zhiyu, I didn't expect you to be so professional in delivering babies! If it weren't for your good handling in the early stages, this girl and the child would have been in great trouble!"
"That's all thanks to you. You used to tell me every day how to deliver a baby, but I never thought that I would actually become a midwife one day. Water Heart, thank you!"
Tang Qin couldn't help but ask Qi Xu, "Just now, you said something about getting married? Is that true?"
"Yes. Actually, my husband and I have been married for over a year. We are planning to hold a public wedding in a few days."
Hearing the news of her marriage, Tang Qin couldn't help laughing.
"Mu Zhiyu, you are finally getting married. I am so happy!"
Qi Xu asked her angrily.
"Don't you really hate me? You said I'm your nemesis and that we're incompatible? Why are you so happy about me getting married?"
"I'm so glad we can be friends again!"
Qi Xu didn't understand.
"I don't want to be friends with someone like you anymore. You're like a psychopath, you turn against me and end our friendship at any time without caring about my best friend's life or death."
"Besides, what does our friendship have to do with whether I get married or not?"
"It's a big deal!" Tang Qin revealed the past and started talking.
"As long as you get married, you won't block my peach blossoms."
"Do you know why I want to break up with you and stay away from people like you? Because you're so annoying!"
