Chapter 54 Zhou Xiye's Beauty is a Feast for the Eyes
Li Zhiguo didn't know what he said that offended Zhou Xiye. After buying the things and getting into the car, Zhou Xiye didn't say a word and seemed to be in a bad mood.
I initially wanted to try and persuade him, but then I thought better of it; he said Zhou Xiye wouldn't listen anyway.
As long as Jiang Zhizhi appears, he will try to persuade her to back down from the marriage.
We can't let this bother Zhou Xiye.
A good soldier should not be bothered by these trivial matters.
...
Jiang Zhizhi went back with her purchases, and her previously empty bag was instantly filled. She not only bought two kilograms of dark blue pure wool yarn for Yang Fengmei, but also two kilograms of light green yarn for herself, which was acrylic and much cheaper.
It was while buying yarn that she learned something new: pure wool yarn tends to be darker in color, as if the dyeing technique wasn't as good yet.
Brightly colored ones are mostly made of acrylic yarn; they look nice, but they don't keep you warm.
Jiang Zhizhi thought she didn't need to keep warm; she just wanted to wear something nice!
Dinner was eaten at the hotel restaurant with Dong Xinguo; each of us had a bowl of noodles with a plate of pickled vegetable shreds.
After dinner, Dong Xinguo reminded Jiang Zhizhi again: "Don't go out at night unless you have to. The shops outside are all closed and there's no sign of things getting better. Make sure to lock the door when you're alone in your room."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly. She didn't see Sun Xiaoyue again until she returned to her room. She didn't know if Sun Xiaoyue had gone back or if she was too angry to come out of her room.
The next morning, Jiang Zhizhi went to the workshop with Dong Xinguo and the technician.
When Jiang Zhizhi gets to work, she becomes quite engrossed in it. Every day, she works with the technicians and welders in the workshop to study how to weld and whether there will be gaps after spot welding.
Several experiments were conducted to confirm that the pressure tank would not leak.
After working overtime for five days, even the technicians were starting to feel the strain. Looking at Jiang Zhizhi, whose eyes were bloodshot but whose spirits remained high, they couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in admiration: "Technician Jiang, you're incredibly resilient. I can't take it anymore. Should we take a half-day break? I think we've already finished the task two days ahead of schedule. If we don't rest soon, I feel like I'm going to collapse."
Jiang Zhizhi thought about it and agreed: "Then let's rest for half a day?"
She felt she could finish it in one go, but not everyone is like her, having received special training and possessing a stronger will than the average person.
The technician breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'm going back to my dorm to get some sleep. I really couldn't take it anymore."
Jiang Zhizhi originally planned to go back, wash up, and get a good night's sleep. But when she touched her arm in the cast, she realized it had been almost two months. She decided to go to the hospital to check on the situation and remove the cast if necessary.
The plaster cast is in the way!
After telling the girl in the dormitory, they inquired about nearby hospitals, and it turned out that the closest one to them was a military hospital.
The process of seeing a doctor is simple now, and there are very few people seeking medical care. Many people treat minor ailments at home with random self-medication, and they never think of going to the hospital even when they are dying from serious illnesses.
After registering and going to the outpatient clinic for a check-up, no X-ray was needed, and the doctor removed the cast on the spot: "You still need to keep it in a sling when you get home. Try not to use this arm as much as possible and take good care of it."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at her arm with the cast removed and felt a sense of unfamiliarity. She moved her wrist and gently shook her arm. It felt a little stiff and uncomfortable, but it didn't hurt.
The doctor chuckled and said, "Young people recover so quickly. Just avoid strenuous activity."
Jiang Zhizhi swung her arms, feeling a bit excited. Before, she could only wear short sleeves underneath, and she could only wear one sleeve of her jacket while draping the other over her shoulder.
Now that I've put the sleeves on, I've shaken them around and I'm very satisfied.
Finally, I don't have to live with only one hand anymore.
Jiang Zhizhi held her right wrist with her left hand, shaking it as she walked out. She glanced at the dressing room casually as she passed by.
Some people stopped in their tracks, unable to look away.
Howl!
The man sitting with his back to the door was shirtless, with bronze skin, broad shoulders, a narrow back, and a thin waist. His shoulder muscles were bulging, while his waist was covered with a thin layer of muscles, the lines of which stretched smoothly down to his waistband.
Jiang Zhizhi clicked her tongue in admiration. That physique, those muscles, are absolutely amazing!
The only pity was that the man had a deep scar on the right side of his waist, which was now exposed, while the nurse was preparing the tools for applying medicine.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times, feeling that the man looked somewhat familiar!
While flexing my wrists, I tried to bring my wandering thoughts back to normal and think carefully about who this was.
Suddenly, the other person turned their head, and you were caught off guard, your eyes meeting theirs...
Jiang Zhizhi froze as she rubbed her wrist, never expecting that the man with the perfect physique was Zhou Xiye!
Her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel her face getting hot.
She had been lecherously staring at someone's back for ages, and she got caught!
But you can't blame her for this, she's never seen Zhou Xiye without clothes on! No, I mean without a shirt on.
Standing there, my mind went blank; I didn't know whether to leave or say hello.
Zhou Xiye was also quite surprised. The gaze from behind him was so intense that he couldn't ignore it, but when he turned around, he was surprised to see Jiang Zhizhi.
Seeing the undisguised curiosity in the little girl's eyes, a thought struck him: "Your cast is off? How's the recovery going?"
As soon as he spoke, Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to go into the dressing room: "I'm much better now. I'll just need to rest and recover. How did you get injured?"
Standing to Zhou Xiye's side, one could see the wound on his side more clearly, extending all the way to his lower abdomen. The buttons on his pants were undone, revealing a bit of his abdominal crease, and...
Jiang Zhizhi stood frozen in place, her heart screaming like a groundhog. What had she just seen?
Is that something she should be able to see?!
Zhou Xiye saw Jiang Zhizhi staring wide-eyed at his pants, his face turning as red as if it were about to bleed!
I completely forgot about my pants. I reached out and pulled my jacket over my waist, then suddenly felt awkward and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, a nurse came over and said in a gentle tone, "Captain Zhou, you need to be careful after this dressing change. If the wound gets infected again, Director Zhang will definitely have you hospitalized."
As she spoke, she applied medicine to Zhou Xiye. Just as she was about to apply the front medicine, Zhou Xiye reached out and said, "I can do it myself."
Knowing that Zhou Xiye didn't like others getting close, the nurse handed him the medicine, saying, "Then you can do it yourself. Also, you can't get this wound wet again. It looked like it had healed before, so it must have gotten wet..."
Zhou Xiye frowned, annoyed that the nurse was talking too much: "Alright, you go ahead and get busy, I'll take care of the rest myself."
The nurse had no choice but to obediently take the medicine tray out.
Jiang Zhizhi tried to calm the heat on her face, inwardly cursing herself for being so weak. In her previous life, weren't all her companions like this?
Another voice in her mind retorted: But none of them are as good as Zhou Xiye!
As Zhou Xiye applied the medicine with a cotton ball, he subtly observed Jiang Zhizhi. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on his abdomen and showed no sign of looking away, the corners of his lips slightly lifted...
