Lin Hu's hands, as strong as iron clamps, gripped He Lanlan's arm tightly.

To prevent Helanlan from screaming, he quickly covered her mouth with his other hand, but unexpectedly, he was punched in the face.

After He Lanlan slapped his face, Lin Hu instinctively covered the spot where he had been hit and took a few steps back in pain.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

He Lanlan kicked out a few more times, and they all slammed into Lin Hu with a thud.

Lin Hu had already fallen to the ground. He never expected that He Lanlan, who always seemed so gentle and weak, would actually have such skills.

He Lanlan frequents the black market, yet she never reveals herself; she keeps it very well hidden.

Helanlan walked over and removed the black cloth from his face, immediately revealing his repulsive, pig-kidney-shaped face.

"I knew it was you, and I was absolutely right."

She kicked Lin Hu hard in the stomach several times.

"You dare block my way, trying to do something to me? Heh, too bad I won't give you the chance."

Her father made her learn martial arts from a young age, specifically to protect herself from thugs.

Lin Hu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He Lanlan picked up her bicycle, got on, and rode away.

Lin Zhiheng stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged and returning home to recuperate.

During these three days, Lin Qingyan did not give Lu Zhengting acupuncture because she had to take care of Lin Zhiheng. As soon as she got home, she tidied up a bit and went to find Lu Zhengting immediately.

Before she even reached the brigade leader's house, she saw Lu Zhengting sitting at the door, gazing into the distance, still heading in the direction she had come from.

She walked up to Lu Zhengting and deliberately asked him, "Comrade Lu, what were you looking at just now?"

Lu Zhengting couldn't help but smile when he saw the girl he had been longing for day and night.

People say that a day apart feels like three autumns.

He truly felt it during those three days.

He and Lin Qingyan hadn't seen each other for three days, but it really felt like eight or nine years had passed.

Feeling excited, she said, "I was just looking at the scenery."

The most beautiful scenery in his heart.

Lin Qingyan pushed him back into the house. "Comrade Lu, I'm back. Let's continue the treatment now."

She first examined Lu Zhengting's legs. "Comrade Lu, you've recovered very well during this time. Try moving around a little and see how it feels?"

Lu Zhengting subconsciously lifted his lower leg, and surprisingly, he was able to lift it a little.

Because he hadn't used his calves for a long time, he had basically ignored that part of their function before Lin Qingyan announced his recovery, so he didn't notice that his calves had regained sensation.

Does this mean he'll recover soon?

He looked at Lin Qingyan excitedly: "Ayan, oh, Comrade Lin, I can feel my legs again, I'm almost healed, I can..." marry you.

He controlled himself and didn't say the last three words.

Hearing his initial form of address and the words he hadn't finished saying, Lin Qingyan asked him, "Comrade, what did you call me just now? You said you were alright, so what could you do about it?"

Lu Zhengting then realized that he had been too excited and impulsive, and almost blurted out his long-held expectations.

He has only regained some sensation and has not yet fully stood up. He is unsure whether he can fully recover to his previous state.

No, I must wait until I have fully recovered and face her as a healthy person before saying those words to her.

"Comrade Lin. I just called you Comrade Lin. Isn't that what I've always called you?"

"No." Lin Qingyan pouted. "I heard you clearly just now. You called me Ayan. Comrade Lu. You use such an intimate term for me. You've actually liked me for a long time, haven't you?"

"No, no. I, I."

As he listened to the girl's soft whispers, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. Not wanting Lin Qingyan to see his joyful expression, he lowered his head.

Lin Qingyan noticed that one of his ears was red. "Oh, Comrade Lu, your ear is so red, you must be shy!"

She raised her small hand and gently pinched that ear, then twirled it on Lu Zhengting's slightly hot earlobe.

"Comrade Lu, your ears are still burning hot."

Lu Zhengting's ears turned red, and his face turned red as well. But he did not avoid Lin Qingyan's small hand. Lin Qingyan then took advantage of the situation and touched his other ear with her other small hand, gently pinching the hot and red earlobe.

Lu Zhengting felt an itch in his ears and a itch in his heart.

I long to grab those little hands that were playing around on his ears, pull her into my arms, and cherish and protect her.

He kept his head down, and Lin Qingyan ordered him, "Comrade Lu, repeat the way you just addressed me."

Lu Zhengting suddenly raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. The little girl had a pretty face and a pair of eyes that looked like they were filled with autumn water, and she was staring at him steadily.

Her lips were pink and delicate, her nose was straight and small, and she was even more beautiful than a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

I couldn't help but get me mesmerized again.

Lin Qingyan noticed that his face was very red, as if he had applied a layer of rouge. Seeing that he kept staring at her, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer.

After a while, she gently touched his brow with her slender, jade-like fingers.

Lu Zhengting took the opportunity to grab those soft, boneless little hands and hold them in his palm.

His chest heaved violently, he was restrained and suppressed, and he was panting heavily: "Comrade Lin, don't do this, it will tarnish you."

Lin Qingyan suddenly laughed: "Comrade Lu, don't you think I'm deliberately teasing you?"

Lu Zhengting pursed his lips and remained silent, then said, "I think whatever Comrade Lin does to me is perfectly reasonable."

"Hahahaha." Lin Qingyan laughed again. "Comrade Lu, you're really funny. Since you say it's reasonable for me to do anything to you, then I won't be polite."

Her hand suddenly reached for the button on his chest, startling Lu Zhengting so much that he jumped. "Comrade Lin, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say that whatever I do to you is perfectly reasonable? If I take your clothes off, you won't resist, will you?"
