Chapter 150: Giving Her a Gift
Bai Zhi's words seemed to comfort Lu Shan, who solemnly replied, "Xiao Zhi, you're right. No news is the best news. He must be alive."
Lu Shan, who was always aloof and indifferent, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.
If he were really alive, she would gladly give her own life for him.
Bai Zhi said, "Dr. Lu, try to think positively and wait patiently."
Lu Shan nodded and stood up. "Then you should get some rest. I'll head out now."
"Okay, you should get some rest too."
As soon as Lu Shan left, Bai Zhi stretched and took off her cloth coat, revealing that she was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath. She let her long hair down, intending to wash it.
After a long day, she desperately needed to shower and rest to recharge for her long journey the next day.
But just as she put down her coat, there was another knock on the door.
She thought it was Lu Shan returning and that she had something to talk to her about, so she quickly went to open the door.
"Lu..." Upon recognizing the man before her, she quickly changed her address, "Company Commander Lu, what are you doing here?"
"Am I the strange one?" Lu Ye glanced outside, closed the door, walked in, and casually asked, "Did Dr. Lu just look for you?"
"Um."
Lu Ye's deep eyes fell directly on the girl's fair face.
Her thin lips were slightly pursed.
Bai Zhi felt uneasy under his gaze. She coughed lightly and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"have."
Lu Ye moved closer to her, his gaze becoming even deeper and more intense. "It's something very important."
"Then tell me." His breath approached, and Bai Zhi's heart trembled. She instinctively stepped back, but a large hand directly wrapped around her slender waist.
"Don't dodge." He pulled her into his arms.
Bai Zhi couldn't push him away, so she turned her face away uncomfortably. "Just say what you have to say."
“Okay.” He looked at her, then suddenly grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. “It’s very itchy, I need to touch it.”
Bai Zhi, "......."
Is this really important?
Why is this man so difficult to deal with?
"Touch it yourself." She was speechless and tried to pull her hand back, but how could the man give her the chance? He firmly pressed her hand down with his large palm, not letting her back down. "It really itches, help me touch it, okay?"
His handsome face showed a pitiful and aggrieved expression, which contrasted sharply with his usual demeanor.
Bai Zhi also knew that if the scar removal medicine was applied to his scar overnight, it would indeed be very itchy the next day.
But it wasn't to the point where I couldn't help myself.
Her hand was pressed against his chest, and she could only passively stroke it to relieve the itch.
However, when she touched the scar, the man's body trembled slightly, and his breathing became hot.
Bai Zhi was no naive young girl; she naturally understood what that tremor in the man meant.
She couldn't touch it anymore.
What if someone touched the fire...?
"Are you feeling better?" she asked.
"Not done yet, continue." His breath was hot, but he seemed to enjoy it. He held her hand down, afraid that she would give up.
Bai Zhi could only passively let him hold her in his arms and stroke his scars.
She was already dressed lightly, and the two of them were so close that her chest would always touch his muscles with each breath.
This feeling is just too ambiguous.
"Alright, scratch it yourself then." Bai Zhi struggled to break free from his grasp and wriggled out of his arms, but before she could take a step, she was pulled back into his arms again.
She pouted angrily and accused him unhappily, "What are you doing?"
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend, why are you hiding from me?"
The man gazed at her with deep affection, his eyes seeming to draw her completely into them.
Bai Zhi snorted arrogantly, "Who said we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"I'll get a permanent position sooner or later." Lu Ye's tone was strong and confident as he looked at her.
"Let's talk about it after I get a permanent position." Bai Zhi brushed her hair back, turned her face away, and was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
The main reason was that she herself was "too old," and being so close to him made her feel a little restless and itchy.
But their relationship hasn't reached that point yet.
Lu Ye didn't tease her much. He let go of her, reached into his pocket, and took out an exquisite box. "Xiao Bai, I bought you a gift."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi raised her eyes in confusion, "Hmm?"
Seeing the open box in Lu Ye's hand, she asked, "A watch?"
"Yes, this is a women's mechanical watch. It will look great on you."
Lu Ye took her hand, removed her digital watch from her wrist, placed it on the table, and then put his newly bought quartz watch on her wrist.
"This wristband is adjustable; if it feels tight, you can loosen it a little."
Bai Zhi looked at the watch on his wrist, her eyes deep and her heart warmed.
However, Lu Ye still owes her medical bills, yet he has the money to buy her such an expensive watch.
This Shanghai brand watch is quite expensive even for ordinary wage earners.
But she knew that Lu Ye was no ordinary person.
When he gave her a gift, she accepted it without asking about its price or feeling that it was too expensive for her to deserve.
"Thank you."
Lu Ye's eyes softened. "You're welcome. It's what a partner should do."
He put the watch on her wrist and kept holding her hand.
"Your wrists are too thin. You need to eat more in the future."
Bai Zhi looked at her own wrist, then at his strong and powerful wrist, and couldn't help but lean over and compare them.
I pinched his firm muscles and tried to arm wrestle with him.
As a result, when they grabbed his wrist and tried to pry it open, it wouldn't budge.
"That's really powerful."
He chuckled softly, "Do you like it?"
Bai Zhi, "......."
She pulled her hand away from his and put the digital watch she had taken off her wrist back on.
Lu Ye stood aside, watching her pretend to be busy. He broke the silence, "By the way, what did my sister want when she came in to see you?"
Lu Ye felt very uncomfortable about what Bai Zhi said to Lu Shaoan tonight.
He also recalled that his sister was the one who was most skeptical of Bai Zhi's medical skills.
So when he saw her come out of Bai Zhi's room, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
They were afraid that Lu Shan was coming to cause trouble again.
"It's nothing, we just chatted for a bit."
Lu Ye clearly didn't believe Bai Zhi's words. He looked at Bai Zhi and raised an eyebrow, "Just chatting?"
Dr. Lu is not the type of person who would gossip to people for no reason.
Even if someone initiates a casual conversation with her, she may not be willing to respond.
Bai Zhi met Lu Ye's suspicious gaze, sighed, and said, "Actually, Dr. Lu may seem aloof on the surface, but she also has a vulnerable side. In addition, the lack of news about Battalion Commander Gu has been a big blow to her. She feels bad and sometimes wants to talk to someone."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ye's expression also became serious.
However, there was more astonishment than surprise.
"My sister brought up Battalion Commander Gu with you?" Lu Ye was surprised that Lu Shan would discuss such a private topic with Bai Zhi.
He only learned about his sister's relationship with Gu Jingyi after Gu Jingyi went missing.
Her sister never chats with anyone in the family, including about her own private matters.
