Chapter 116: The Ruthless Plunderer of the First Kiss

"Sinus rhythm restored!" Chang Min shouted in surprise.

They saw Xue Qiming's tightly clenched jaw loosen slightly, emitting an extremely faint groan of pain, while his tightly shut eyelids trembled a few times.

"It worked! Thrombolysis is taking effect! The vessels are opening!"

Wang Chuan felt the tautest string of his heart suddenly snap loose; a huge wave of fatigue surged instantly, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Beside him, Wu Qinghua let out a long sigh and took over command: "Continue raising the blood pressure medication to maintain blood pressure! Monitor heart rhythm, blood pressure, and respiration closely! Watch for any bleeding! Has the Cardiology consultation arrived? Prepare for transport to the Catheterization Laboratory to perform PCI for consolidation!"

The glance he cast sideways toward Wang Chuan was filled with shock and admiration.

This young man, in those lightning-fast dozen minutes just now, had led this rescue that was almost impossible to succeed, forcibly dragging a dying patient suffering from myocardial infarction and shock back from the gates of Death!

"Wang Chuan..." Wu Qinghua's voice carried a hint of hoarseness and excitement, "You damn... are truly born to be in the Emergency Department! Just now... it was too dangerous, and too brilliant!" This book is first released on tw for a relaxed reading experience, providing you with error-free chapters and non-misordered chapters.

Wang Chuan did not respond; he merely leaned wearily against the wall, his gaze complex as he looked at Xue Qiming on the hospital bed, whose breathing, though faint, had begun to stabilize.

The interviewer from his past life, the superior who had welcomed him into the profession with a hearty smile, called him "Little Doctor Wang," and given him much guidance and trust, had been dragged back from the abyss by his own hands.

It was just as Xue Qiming had teased Wang Chuan in his past life: "Little Doctor Wang, why don't you examine me sometime?"

"Wang Chuan? Are you okay?" Wu Qinghua noticed his unusual state.

Wang Chuan took a deep breath, shook his head, and his gaze became resolute and clear once more: "I'm fine, Doctor Wu. This patient is temporarily stable, but the window period is very short; PCI must follow immediately. As for the Catheterization Laboratory, please do urge them again! We cannot give the blockage a chance to rebound."

As if responding to his urging, the door to the Emergency Room was pushed open with a clatter.

The on-duty doctor from Cardiology and the medical staff from the Catheterization Laboratory rushed in hurriedly and orderly to take over subsequent treatment.

Wang Chuan raised his eyes and saw the light curtain: 【Virtual Operation Training】 Sixteenth training session activated; the activation condition for the seventeenth session is 4/6.

Since Xue Qiming could not express gratitude at present, the 【Peak Medical Technique Experience Activation Progress】 had not changed, still accumulating at 97/100.

"Wang Chuan! Wu Qinghua!" Zhang Yang's voice came from the doorway; he had obviously just finished handling the previous surgery, and sweat marks still adorned his forehead.

He quickly scanned the scene, learned the situation from Wu Qinghua, and walked briskly to Wang Chuan's side.

He squeezed Wang Chuan's shoulders, which were still visibly trembling slightly, and said, "Wang Chuan, go back to the Dormitory to rest, and come back after dinner. This is your first time racing against the Death God."

"This time you were lucky, Wang Chuan. However, next time, if you try your best and still fail, do not be hard on yourself."

"We are doctors, we are mortals, not gods!"

Wang Chuan nodded wearily: "Attending Physician Zhang, I remember. I ordered takeout; it will arrive on time at six. I'll go back to the Dormitory first to change clothes and return before six."

Dragging legs as heavy as lead, he walked out of the still-busy rescue area, passed through the bustling Emergency Department hall, and pushed open the large door leading outdoors.

The wind of the early summer afternoon, carrying the scent of people coming and going, swept against his face.

Wang Chuan felt he had returned to the human world; on the way back to the Intern Dormitory, his mood was average.

Even if Xue Qiming's body recovers, it will be difficult for him to continue such high-intensity Investment Bank work; he will likely have to change jobs.

The guide from his past life, by the time he was going to the Investment Bank, was no longer him.

It seems the gears of fate in his past life have quietly changed.

Although, in his past life, he had also raced against the Death God, with both successes and failures.

However, the first race after Rebirth brought physical fatigue as well.

And after a brief victory over the Death God, there was a certain sense of emptiness, along with the suppression and suffocation of the unknown outcome of the next race.

"Doctor Wang Chuan, go for it!" A sweet, familiar voice like a clear spring sounded.

Wang Chuan instinctively looked up, his slightly unfocused gaze slowly focusing.

Standing at the main entrance below the Intern Dormitory building was Lu Na.

Summer sunlight pierced through the branches and leaves, with dancing light spots adorning her figure.

A pink T-shirt outlined her life-filled curves; her bright apricot eyes were filled with sunlight, and her naturally upturned lips bore a dimple.

She stood there like a lively summer sprite, piercing through the emptiness and suffocation in Wang Chuan's heart.

It was almost an instinctive drive.

Wang Chuan stepped forward two paces and suddenly seized Lu Na's slender shoulders! He moved so fast he himself had no time to think.

Lu Na's smile instantly froze on her face.

Her apricot eyes widened to roundness, pure shock replacing all brightness; her lips parted slightly, and a confused "Wang?" had not yet been spoken.

Wang Chuan had already bent his head low, with a desperate urgency bordering on plunder, and pressed his dry, scorching lips hard against those pink, soft cherry lips!

A brief dead silence.

Lu Na's body suddenly stiffened; her blood seemed to rush to her head and then instantly freeze!

Her mind went completely blank, leaving only the domineering, unfamiliar pressure on her lips and the out-of-control intense emotion in Wang Chuan's eyes.

The sweet call was firmly blocked in her throat; she could only emit a faint, kitten-like whimper.

Her slender hands instinctively pressed against his chest, pushing weakly and futilely, soft and lacking any strength whatsoever.

Her long eyelashes trembled wildly, like the wings of a startled butterfly.

She felt like a butterfly caught in a net.

Only five seconds of time had slipped away.

Wang Chuan's eyes suddenly brightened; as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him, the surging emotions receded instantly like the tide of the Qiantang River.

His body shuddered violently; letting go as if electrocuted, he stumbled backward a few steps in a flustered manner before standing steady.

The air that had just solidified began to melt.

Lu Na's cheeks, from the pale of shock, burned into a scorching crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Little pearls of tears welled up in her eyes; shame, anger, and helplessness surged like a tide, and her breathing became rapid and irregular.

"I... I'm sorry!" Wang Chuan's voice was filled with panic and regret; he instinctively reached out to touch her, then pulled his hand back as if burned, "I... just now..."

A huge silence spread, yet the chirping of cicadas and the rustling of leaves were incredibly clear.

After a long while.

Lu Na suddenly lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Amid the chaos and embarrassment, she almost reflexively grabbed hold of a question she had prepared earlier.

She attempted to mask the shock and bewilderment brought on by her first kiss being stolen.

"Wang Chuan..." Her voice was thick with tears, faint as a mosquito's buzz; she hardly dared to raise her eyes to look at him. "Um... does the Nanshan Blue Fire Bar still need staff? Like... a Cashier or something?"

Wang Chuan was quite surprised by this question; shouldn't Lu Na be questioning his crazy behavior instead?

He asked tentatively, "Lu Na, you're not going to be a Nurse anymore? You want to be a Cashier?"

"No." Lu Na shook her head vigorously.
