Lu Xiangze hadn't intended to hide it from the siblings.
"Yes, it has been checked, and it's very good."
"Then why did you insist on leaving the army?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.
"For personal reasons, my family situation is quite complicated, and I don't want outsiders to know that my wounds have healed. After being drained of blood for so many years, I'm still a human being..."
Lu Xiangze intentionally shifted the blame to family reasons.
Su Ming realized that she didn't mean to pry into other people's privacy, so she immediately changed the subject: "We won't tell anyone, but I want to ask you for a favor."
"We're good brothers, right?"
"Yes." Comrades-in-arms are, of course, good friends.
"Then is my sister your sister?"
Lu Xiangze didn't respond to this, but instead asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"While my sister is away in the countryside, could you take good care of her?" Su Ming looked at him expectantly.
Su Qiao tugged at her older brother's sleeve.
With Lu Xiangze's unfortunate nature, he can barely take care of himself, let alone her?
Isn't this just causing trouble for others?
"Of course, no problem."
Lu Xiangze readily agreed.
His tone was normal, and although he agreed a little too quickly, Su Ming didn't detect anything wrong.
He immediately hooked his arm around Lu Xiangze's back and said repeatedly, "Good brothers are loyal."
Su Qiao was both amused and exasperated.
Although Lu Xiangze didn't want to see a doctor, the wound still needed to be treated.
Su Ming was reckless and didn't know her own strength.
Lu Xiangze couldn't help but complain, "I was perfectly fine before, but now that you've applied the medicine, I might actually have to go to the hospital."
"ah?"
Su Ming wondered if it was because she hadn't applied medicine to the wounded in a long time, since the pressure was clearly normal.
I need to go back and review this course properly.
Without thinking much, he simply asked Su Qiao to apply the medicine.
Su Qiao didn't think much of it and washed her hands to prepare to apply the medicine.
She lightly touched her fingertips with a little ointment and used her left hand to brush his hair aside.
Apply the ointment evenly to the surface.
The two were quite close together.
Lu Xiangze's body tensed up involuntarily.
He unconsciously held his breath, afraid of offending Su Qiao.
The ointment brought a slight cooling sensation, relieving the pain of the wound, but also causing a strange itch.
In those few short seconds, he felt like he was going through a lot of agony.
The wound was small, and Su Qiao treated it quickly.
He stepped back a few steps, creating distance between them.
Lu Xiangze suddenly smelled a very pleasant scent.
It lingered in his chest for a long time.
Su Ming was stunned after applying the medicine.
I thought to myself, this guy has probably never been this close to a woman before, he's been inconsiderate.
He coughed twice and then took Su Qiao back.
Lu Xiangze was left alone sitting in the courtyard.
That night, he had a dream.
I dreamt of our first meeting.
Thinking of how she risked her life to save him, and how he saw her again and again when he was seriously injured...
He woke up from the dream and could still feel the excitement he had felt then.
Su Ming knew nothing about any of this.
Later, Su Ming learned that it was actually her who had facilitated the process of making him confirm his feelings for her.
It was too late for regrets.
Su Ming was delighted at the moment, having found a free bodyguard for her sister.
This trip was worthwhile.
Su Ming needs to catch the train at noon tomorrow.
So, Su Qiao started helping him pack his things that evening.
She took out the spiritual spring water that she had been saving for some time.
She's already used quite a bit of it; now there's only about half a bottle left.
She divided it into two portions.
They even took out a medicinal ointment mixed with spiritual spring water.
She attributed all of this to a retired traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Explain the purpose of each item and divide them into two parts.
One portion for Su Ming, and one portion for Su's father and mother.
Su Ming looked at her younger sister, who was speaking softly, and felt very content.
"Did you remember?"
Su Qiao noticed that he was lost in thought and immediately asked him.
Su Ming quickly raised her hand to show that she really remembered it and even recited it again.
After confirming that everything was correct, Su Qiao continued preparing the other things.
This time, she didn't find any mountain products, and she didn't have time to process them.
Apart from those few Ganoderma lucidum plants.
Su Qiao also went to Lu Xiang to exchange for a lot of local mountain products and specialties, all of which Su Ming took away.
Two large packages were sorted out.
Before leaving, Su Ming left all the extra money and tickets she had with Su Qiao.
He was afraid that she would feel wronged.
Su Qiao did not refuse.
Su Ming then left with peace of mind.
Watching Su Ming board the oxcart and walk further and further away until she disappeared at the end of the road, Su Qiao went back to work.
Today is still corn harvesting, but this time the cornfield is on the mountain.
It has only recently matured.
It took her quite a while to catch up with the main group.
When she officially started work, she found that several older women had suddenly appeared in her area.
He hadn't even picked two ears of corn before he started talking to her.
"Su Zhiqing, wasn't it your own brother who came that day?"
"kindness."
"Is your brother dating anyone?"
"No."
The man immediately became interested. "How about you introduce him to someone, Auntie? I have a niece on my mother's side. She's as beautiful as a flower and would be a perfect match for your brother."
Before Su Qiao could speak, another person immediately retorted.
"Flower? You only have one niece on your family, right? She's already a 20-year-old spinster, and not a single person has proposed to her. How can I believe someone as beautiful as a flower?"
"You filthy bastard, what right do you have to interrupt me? Did you eat dung this morning? It stinks!"
The two middle-aged women started arguing as they talked.
While the two were arguing, a third person arrived.
He wasn't doing any work, so he just stood there chatting.
"How about we introduce my sister-in-law to your brother? She only graduated from junior high school, so her education level is a good match for your brother."
Su Qiao was speechless.
She had met the woman who was talking about her sister-in-law; she had only completed the first year of junior high school and hadn't actually graduated.
Su Qiao was extremely annoyed.
Stop what you're doing immediately.
“My brother is single now, but his boss will introduce him to someone.”
The women then put out the fire.
He turned and left.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Su Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and continued working.
She wasn't making this up; there seems to be a line like that in the book, but it's not a good thing.
The boss had introduced Su Ming to a potential partner, and the two had just started dating.
Something happened at home, and when he went back to deal with it, his girlfriend was forced by her parents to go on blind dates with other people.
They even framed Su Ming during this period.
He was arrested immediately...
Whether or not she was ever released is not mentioned in the book.
I don't think so.
Last night, she mentioned this matter seemingly unintentionally, and Su Ming said that she has no plans to do so at the moment.
She added a reminder: you should also pay attention to what kind of people the other person's parents are.
I don't know if Su Ming listened to that.
At that moment, a gentle female voice came from afar.
Su Qiao looked up.
Then I saw Yao Honghong holding a jar, distributing mung bean soup to everyone.
She has a sweet appearance and is wearing a beautiful dress.
Some young men naturally turned their attention to her.
They all rushed forward to show their support.
And of course, the old ladies who like to take advantage of others wouldn't miss out either.
In no time, Yao Honghong was surrounded by people.
