Lu Zhengting's heart sank for a moment, followed by an indescribable sense of complexity.
No, no, no. Although she is a doctor and doesn't care about gender differences, he has his own ideas.
Before he met her, he had never liked any girl, and she was probably the only one he would ever like in his life.
If his legs don't heal, he can't marry her, and he won't marry another woman, then it doesn't matter if his third leg is lame; it doesn't need treatment at all.
"Comrade Lin, I don't need treatment. I'm a soldier. Without my legs, I can't go to the battlefield. As for that leg, it's not important at all."
"Really not important?!"
Only Lu Zhengting could say something like that; even his mother and Mrs. Li were more anxious than him.
Seeing Lu Zhengting's attitude, the two women didn't dare to say anything. Lu Zhengting must have his own reasons.
As a doctor, Lin Qingyan knew that the third leg was not only related to a man's fertility, but also to excretion, and could even affect Lu Zhengting's overall bodily functions. She wanted to explain the pros and cons to Lu Zhengting so that he might change his mind once he understood.
"Comrade Lu, I still advise you to think it over carefully."
"I don't need to think about it, Comrade Lin, you don't need to treat me." His attitude was very firm.
Lin Qingyan looked at Old Mrs. Li and Lu's mother, wondering if Lu Zhengting was embarrassed to talk to her about private topics because they were there.
"Grandma, Auntie, could you please step outside for a moment? I'd like to speak with Comrade Lu alone."
"Okay, okay."
Both of them felt it would be too awkward to talk about this in front of a lot of people, so they both nodded in agreement and went out.
Fearing that her mother-in-law might repeat her words, Lin Qingyan instructed her, "Mother-in-law, could you please go out for a bit? I'd like to speak with Comrade Lu alone."
Grandma Lin always listened to Lin Qingyan, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, girl."
"Grandma, stay at the brigade leader's house and don't go anywhere else."
Only then did she realize that she had locked the front door, so how had Grandma Lin managed to escape?
By the way, Granny Lin is skilled in martial arts; she could easily scale walls and leap over rooftops, let alone climb over them.
"Okay, okay, girl, I'm going out."
Grandma Lin turned to leave, but Lin Qingyan remembered that she had loudly announced Lu Zhengting's injuries earlier, so she instructed again, "Grandma, please don't talk about Comrade Lu's injuries outside anymore, okay?"
"I know, I know, I won't say anything more." Granny Lin nodded repeatedly, covered her mouth, and looked at Lin Qingyan, saying in a muffled voice, "Girl, can I go out now?"
"Okay, you can go now."
Grandma Lin immediately skipped out, and Lin Qingyan got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to close the door and lock it from the inside.
Lu Zhengting trembled when he heard her lock the door.
What is she going to do?
Are we going to examine his injury right now?
He wasn't ready to let her see it yet, and he hoped she wouldn't force him.
Lin Qingyan returned to the kang (a heated brick bed) because there were still some acupuncture needles left to be inserted; she needed to finish inserting all the acupuncture points that needed to be needled.
Also, talk to Lu Zhengting about treating his other injury.
Lu Zhengting's face was still covered by the pillow, which she found a little funny; his shy expression was quite cute.
"Comrade Lu, I'm just a doctor now. Please don't treat me like a woman. You can treat me like your comrade-in-arms. Relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Lu Zhengting still held the pillow and didn't put it down.
"Comrade Lu, you've been covering your face with a pillow the whole time. Aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself?"
"I won't suffocate, I know how to apply pressure," he mumbled under his pillow.
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Fine, even if you've mastered the power of force, and we all know it, are you still planning to never see us again?"
"Me." Lu Zhengting slowly removed the pillow, but he still didn't dare to look at Lin Qingyan, let alone meet her gaze.
Lin Qingyan comforted him: "Comrade Lu, I know that everyone has an instinctive aversion to their private parts and doesn't want others to know. But no matter which part of the body it is, there is a possibility of disease or injury. You can't avoid seeing a doctor just because you're embarrassed. In the end, you'll only suffer the loss yourself."
Lu Zhengting nodded: "Comrade Lin, I understand the reasoning you're giving. I know I shouldn't avoid seeking medical help, but I really don't want to see a doctor."
"Comrade Lu, doctors don't distinguish between men and women. I only treat you as my patient. Don't be afraid."
"You've misunderstood, Comrade Lin. I simply don't want to undergo treatment. Please, can you respect my wishes?"
Lin Qingyan sighed, "Don't you really think about your future?"
"The future?" Lu Zhengting finally dared to look at the beautiful doctor in front of him: "Comrade Lin, as long as I can go to the battlefield and fight, that's the most important thing for me in the future."
"But if you have a girl you like, don't you plan to give her a good future?"
As Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her question had been a bit too extreme. She seemed to have asked someone a question she shouldn't have asked, which was somewhat abrupt and presumptuous.
At the same time, she suddenly remembered something.
Is Lu Zhengting so resistant to receiving treatment because he has a girl he likes, and he would feel guilty towards her if I saw him?
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly tightened.
Thinking back to his coldness and indifference towards me during the Chinese New Year, it must be because he has someone he likes.
