Chapter 719: Saving the Hero

After arriving at the studio, Bai Zhi was given her morning work by her assistants, and then she anxiously waited for news from Lu Ye in the office.

She was now preoccupied with Gu Jingyi's situation.

Shen Qian seemed to notice her absent-mindedness, so she walked up to Bai Zhi and tentatively asked, "Xiao Zhi, is something wrong?"

Bai Zhi snapped out of her daze, "It's nothing."

She instructed Shen Qian, "Go ahead and do your work. If you have any problems, come find me. Remember, the moxibustion must be done correctly. Don't be careless, or the effect will be greatly reduced."

"I see."

Shen Qian went to attend to the two patients, while Bai Zhi remained seated in her chair. She closed her eyes, trying to recall Gu Jingyi's condition when she first treated him in her previous life.

Half of his face was disfigured, and one of his legs was broken and not treated promptly and effectively, resulting in lifelong bone misalignment and limping. He was also poisoned by drugs.

She remembered that there were several kinds of poisons he had been poisoned with. When he was brought to her and her grandfather for treatment, he was already emaciated from the torment.

It's completely unrecognizable.

Although he received treatment at the hospital and was out of danger before being sent to them, his body was severely depleted. They had to put in a lot of effort to restore him to a normal state.

But no matter how he was treated, his leg was left with a lifelong disability.

And that face, because of the scar tissue that caused hyperplasia, didn't have the desired treatment results in the later stages.

Bai Zhi reminisced, because her rebirth had changed the fate of many people.

For example, compared to his previous life, Gu Jingyi was rescued more than three years earlier.

Therefore, his situation in this life must be different from that in the previous life.

It shouldn't be that serious.

Bai Zhi comforted herself in this way.

She waited until around 10 o'clock when Lu Ye arrived.

When Bai Zhi saw him, she quickly stood up and asked, "How are you?"

Seeing that there was no one else in Bai Zhi's office, Lu Ye closed the door and said, "The leg wound is seriously infected, and the doctors over there said that it needs to be cleaned."

"How is he now? Is he still unconscious?" Bai Zhi inquired.

"He had a persistent fever from the moment we found him, and on the way back, the fever spiked and he fell into a coma. After being rescued, he is out of danger, but he is probably still unconscious."

If the infected wound isn't treated, he'll continue to have a high fever.

"What about the rest of him? Is he injured anywhere else?" Bai Zhi asked Lu Ye. "Was he shot? Is he disfigured or anything?"

Lu Ye, "!!!"

Lu Ye replied, "I wasn't shot, but my face was scratched."

Upon hearing his words, Bai Zhi didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sigh.

If you weren't shot, then to a large extent, the damage to your body won't be that serious; at least your internal organs won't be damaged.

Unfortunately, she was disfigured.

She had seen Gu Jingyi's spirited military uniform photo.

Handsome and rugged.

Now that he's disfigured, he'll probably feel even more inferior in front of Lu Shan.

And his legs...

If debridement is performed promptly, followed by surgery, there may still be a chance of recovery.

It won't really turn him into a cripple.

However, the surgery was very complicated, and in my previous life, the surgery failed, leading to necrosis of the femoral head in the later stages.

She analyzed Gu Jingyi's condition in her mind over and over again.

If he can recover to about 70-80% of his former self, then there is a certain possibility that he and Lu Shan will get back together.

If things were like in his previous life, even if Lu Shan came looking for him, he would probably push her away because of his inferiority complex.

"Honey, do you have any patients here?" Lu Ye asked curiously, noticing that Bai Zhi didn't seem very busy today.

Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, in the reinforced ward inside, Shen Qian and two assistants are managing the patients."

Lu Ye joked with a smile, "My wife is practically a leader now."

"At home I'm your boss, but here I'm nothing. We're all just colleagues."

She is a doctor, and she has to do everything for her patients herself.

I wouldn't dare to be a leader to a doctor in a military hospital.

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Qian returned after finishing the moxibustion treatment for the patient.

Seeing Lu Ye, she was quite surprised. "Hey, Brother Ye, you're back?"

Lu Ye replied, "Yes, I'm back. I came to see my wife."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "No wonder Xiao Zhi was absent-minded this morning; she was waiting for you."

After she finished speaking, she put down the ashes of the herbs she was collecting and reported the situation to Bai Zhi, "The fumigation is over, and their condition is pretty good. When should we give them a check-up order?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Let's treat him for two more days and then discuss it with Dr. Zhao and the others."

Since it was during working hours, Lu Ye couldn't linger here any longer and disrupt their work.

"Xiaobai, I'll wait for you outside. We'll have lunch together at the hospital cafeteria."

"good."

After Lu Ye left, they resumed their busy work.

After lunch break, Bai Zhi invited Shen Qian to have lunch together.

Shen Qian laughed and joked, "Would it be appropriate for me to go? You two have finally reunited, wouldn't it be impolite for me to be a third wheel?"

"Haven't I been a third wheel for you and my cousin enough? Why don't you be one this time?"

Shen Qian laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll be the third wheel today."

When the two went downstairs, Lu Ye was talking to a comrade in military uniform.

Bai Zhi and Shen Qian didn't go over; they waited until he finished talking to the person before calling out to him.

Lu Ye glanced at Shen Qian, who was standing next to Bai Zhi, with a hint of disdain. "Are you going to eat too?"

"What's wrong? Shouldn't I be eating?"

Shen Qian glanced at Lu Ye's expression and knew he thought she was in the way.

Hmph, she'll just go with them then.

Let's go.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Ye went to get his food. After taking Bai Zhi's lunchbox, he said to Chen Qian, "Give me yours too."

"Thank you, Brother Ye." Shen Qian handed him the lunchbox without any hesitation.

Looking at the food Lu Ye brought back, Shen Qian smiled and said, "This is the first time in all these years that I've ordered Brother Ye around. It feels so good."

Then, she complained to Bai Zhi about Lu Ye, "Xiao Zhi, let me tell you, he used to be so aloof. Even though we played together when we were kids, he was as cold as a mule and never helped anyone."

On the contrary, as a girl, she often ran errands for those guys.

She basically did all the buying and selling.

However, Lu Ye and Chen Lin were alright; they would usually use the change they received after buying things as a delivery fee.

The most despicable one is Xie Zheng, who is both poor and arrogant.

Doing anything is taken for granted.

She was made a maid.

Shen Qian's expression froze slightly as she suddenly thought of him.

She hadn't thought about him in a long time.

Lu Ye quickly brought the food, adding chicken legs to their meals.

He asked for his first lunchbox from the cafeteria.

"How are things going with Qingbai? When are you getting married?" Lu Ye asked Shen Qian while eating.

Shen Qian said in a calm tone, "It's too early to get married."

"You've been dating for so long, aren't you going to get married?"

"Did you tell Auntie?" Lu Ye looked up at Chen Qian again and asked.

"I wrote to my mom, and I should receive a reply in the next couple of days."

“My cousin is quite outstanding too, so Auntie should agree, right?” Bai Zhi said with a smile.

"Probably."

When Shen Qian said this, she seemed somewhat unsure of herself.

Actually, her mother was sitting right next to her when her stepfather mentioned trying to match her with his nephew.

She neither expressed support nor opposition at the time.

Later, when she talked to her alone, she said, "Actually, your uncle meant well."

From then on, she knew that her mother and her stepfather were of one mind.

Of course, perhaps the mother has her own difficulties.

But this is absolutely not a reason to sacrifice her lifelong happiness.
