"I've said it many times. I'm willing to help you get close to Zhou Yunce. I just don't want rumors about you to spread everywhere. When the military doctor's assessment comes, they will say that I have moral problems. You don't care about my reputation, and you even want to use this opportunity to get rid of all your bad relationships. But I have to think about myself. Xiao Yue, please let me go."
Shi also stood up and looked at Xiao Yue seriously. This time, she really wanted to completely cut off her relationship with Xiao Yue.
She didn't want to care about his troubles in his previous life, nor could she. As for the Xiao family, just let nature take its course.
After this plague, the development of streptomycin is enough for her to gain a foothold in the northwest. With the help of the random plot system, she can develop herself and acquire more survival skills. As long as she stays away from Xiao Yue, she can live a good life.
Xiao Yue looked at the serious yet pleading expression on Shi Ye's face, his lips tightly pursed, his lip corners pressed down, his Adam's apple rolling rapidly, and an uncontrollable surge of blood and energy in his chest. So, cooperating with him and helping him was a torture?
Was she so eager to get away from him and get rid of him?
Xiao Yue's world-weariness grew stronger, and there was no longer any emotion in his eyes, only coldness.
He raised his hand so that Shiye could see the silver ring in his hand clearly. His deep voice contained sarcasm: "Comrade Shiye may have forgotten. Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? I thought about it seriously. You are right. If we get married, I can look after you."
Shi Ye's face froze, and he straightened his back with a start, staring at him with his dark deer eyes, full of vigilance.
"Xiao Yue, stop joking. You don't like me, so why did you marry me? You've also figured out the ring. It's not an ordinary wedding ring. I said that to test you. I didn't want you to do anything to me."
"And don't forget, I'm Zhou Yunce's fiancée now! What's the point of marrying you? Is that reasonable?"
"I'm telling you the truth. When you go home for the New Year holiday and meet Xia Yun, everything will be revealed!"
"I am an innocent person, really, and I have a bad personality! I don't like you either. You are not as pretty as Xia Yun, and there is no benefit in marrying me. Okay, let's stop talking. Just give me the ring back, and let's just forget about it."
Shi also reached out to grab the ring in Xiao Yue's hand. If the "locator" remained in his hands, it would definitely be a disaster.
Xiao Yue did not let go, allowing Shiye's hand to cover his fingers. His phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with dust, sinister and unfocused, with a chilling aura all over his body. He said lightly, "Zhou Yunce's fiancée? Isn't he going to die?"
After saying that, Xiao Yue raised his other hand and gently touched Shi Ye's cheek. The warm palm brushed against her, but it made her body stiff, and sweat broke out on her forehead. She slapped Xiao Yue's hand away and said coldly: "I will not marry you."
"Really?" Xiao Yue didn't care at all and even chuckled, but the look he gave her was dark and unclear.
Shi also looked at Xiao Yue's crazy expression, his head hurt, and he exhaled: "Xiao Yue, calm down, let's discuss a countermeasure. Otherwise, I will go back to Yandu and bring Xia Yun to you!"
This was the most direct way she could think of to get rid of Xiao Yue. Once Xia Yun arrived, the truth came to light.
Xiao Yue raised his eyelids and slowly looked up at her: "Shiye, you should know that once you enter the game, even if you are not my 'dream lover', it is difficult to jump out of the chessboard. Didn't you say that we are the same people?"
Hearing Xiao Yue's extremely tender words "the lover of my dreams", Shi shuddered unconsciously.
She was sure that if she really married Xiao Yue, she would not dare to close her eyes at night, for fear that he would smother her to death with a pillow.
Shi also looked up at Xiao Yue, thinking about the consequences of marrying this dangerous man, and felt even more repulsive. But she understood that Xiao Yue was serious this time, and he had thousands of ways to make her agree.
This is the terrifying thing about crazy people who have no legal awareness. A normal person like her can't deal with them.
At this moment, Bao Qing's voice came from outside: "Old Xiao! Director Li is here!"
Xiao Yue lowered his eyes, and in front of Shi Ye, he put on the silver ring on his hand, and even raised his hand to wave it in front of her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ye, I've put on the ring you gave me. Don't worry, I'll explain the situation to the organization later."
After saying that, he turned and left. The moment he left the barracks, all his emotions were restrained. His fingers trembled slightly, his face suddenly darkened, and he took off the silver ring on his finger and casually put it back in his pocket.
Bao Qing looked at his ugly face, glanced at the barracks, and whispered, "Are you having a quarrel?"
Xiao Yue didn't say anything. He looked up at Li Xiulian. She was wearing a white coat, her eyes were red, and her face was very haggard. She hurried over here. When she saw him, she paused, nodded politely, and said, "Captain Xiao."
Xiao Yue smiled and asked knowingly, "Director Li is very busy, how come you have time to come here today?"
Li Xiulian looked cold and said, "I have something to ask Comrade Shiye. Captain Xiao, please help me. Besides, now that the plague has been properly resolved, she should go back to the camp's infirmary. She is busy there and has to take her military medical assessment."
Just as Xiao Yue was about to speak, the door of the barracks was pushed open and Shi Ye walked out with a cane: "Director Li."
Li Xiulian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shi. Her eyes became wet again and her lips moved. However, she was concerned about Xiao Yue's presence and didn't say anything. She only said, "Comrade Shiye, pack up and follow me back to the camp. I'll leave this to Comrade Lan Xin."
Shiye looked up at her, but Xiao Yue didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly, "Director Li may not know that Annan will send someone to contact us soon. They are plagued by plague, which is more serious than ours. They know that we have special medicine, so they come to show weakness and ask for help. For the sake of friendship between the two countries, Comrade Shiye must stay here and contact Annan."
Hearing this, Li Xiulian's face turned pale. Thinking of Zhou Yunce who was dying at home, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head to Xiao Yue, and said in a low and hoarse voice, even choking with sobs: "Captain Xiao, you should know about Yunce's matter. Can you let Xiaoye go back with me to see him for the sake of our friendship in Yandu? That's a life, a real life!"
She didn't quite understand. Even though their relationship had become distant over the years, Xiao Yue shouldn't have had this attitude toward their Zhou family.
Why? Just because of the previous disagreement between the two families, they have been holding grudges?
Xiao Yue showed a sympathetic expression on his face: "Director Li is wholeheartedly thinking about her son, but the antibiotics have already been used, right? Comrade Shi Ye has worked hard to develop the medicine and has done her best. How else do you want her to save people?"
Shi also looked at the cold light in Xiao Yue's eyes and understood that he didn't want her to interfere in the Zhou family's affairs.
Since he was planning to marry her, he was completely severing her relationship with the Zhou family.
She didn't want to see Zhou Yunce either. There was already a specific medicine for the plague. If the patient couldn't be saved, no amount of treatment would be effective. Thousands of people died in this plague in the northwest. That was fate.
