Seeing her friend was genuinely afraid of needles, Xie Wanying rolled up her sleeves. Before her rebirth, she had drawn blood in the lab and had some experience. Now, after her rebirth, this was the first time she was drawing blood for someone, so she was extra cautious.
She put on gloves, tied a tourniquet around her friend's forearm, felt for the veins on the back of her friend's hand, and said, "If you're scared, just close your eyes."
"Are my veins easy to find?" Wu Lixuan asked.
"Yes, they are very easy," Xie Wanying said honestly, "The veins are elastic and large, they won't break easily as elderly people's do, nor are they as small as a baby's."
"Hearing you say that, I feel more confident," Wu Lixuan thought out loud.
Receiving the blood-drawing needle from the nurse, Xie Wanying took advantage of her childhood friend's turning and talking to insert the needle swiftly into the vein, with the backflow of blood clearly indicating success.
"Done," Xie Wanying said.
