Chapter 68: The First Time I Felt Dry Mouth
Two thousand is also called several thousand, and nine thousand is also called several thousand.
Bai Zhi tilted her head and pondered for a moment before setting a price, "Considering we're acquaintances, I'll charge you three thousand."
"Okay, deal."
Lu Ye readily agreed and extended his hand to her. Bai Zhi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he wanted to shake her hand. She extended her slender hand and shook his hand lightly.
In the brief two-second handshake, Lu Ye's previously relaxed and cheerful face was tinged with heartache.
The little girl, despite her young age, had calluses on her palms just like his.
He was the one holding the gun, and she... it's obvious it was from doing farm work.
Bai Zhi didn't notice the change in his expression. Because she had made money, she was in a very good mood and even hummed a song while receiving acupuncture.
Looking at the girl's happy expression, Lu Ye smiled.
...
"Acupuncture session complete."
Bai Zhi pulled out the last needle, quickly packed up her silver needle box, and walked out, saying, "I'm going to practice cycling."
It gets dark later and it's harder to ride a bike.
Bai Zhi came out of the room, and Dr. Li and Dr. Yang arrived late.
Bai Zhi noticed that these two had been slacking off a lot lately.
But I understand.
After all, Lu Ye's condition was serious some time ago, and the two of them had been taking care of him.
The situation is stable now, so it's okay for them to go out and rest occasionally.
Dr. Li said, "Dr. Bai, we brought food, let's eat."
"I've eaten, now I need to practice cycling."
Xie Yun bought her a Flying Pigeon brand bicycle specifically designed for women, which is quite compact.
She ran happily into the yard, kicked off her leg brace, and spun around a couple of times to get a feel for it.
Then, with a long stride, he got directly into the car.
However, having not ridden for so long, I've lost my balance, my hands and feet are uncoordinated, and I'm wobbling...
Just as the car was about to crash into a tree, someone suddenly grabbed the seat from behind...
The bicycle tipped over, but luckily Bai Zhi had long legs and managed to catch it.
Bai Zhi got off the car and turned around. She saw Lu Ye's large hand still gripping the bicycle seat.
She looked at Lu Ye, her face stern and angrily questioning, "Company Commander Lu, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to arrest him?"
Lu Ye was slightly taken aback by her fierce attitude.
His handsome face showed a look of utter bewilderment.
They seemed not to have expected her to be so fierce.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Dr. Li and Dr. Yang, watching this scene from a short distance away, were trembling with fear.
These two darlings mustn't fight.
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and continued, "It's okay if I fall, but you're injured. What if you bump into something and cause further damage to your wound? Can you protect yourself?"
As Lu Ye watched her mouth open and close, criticizing him, his tense expression suddenly relaxed.
A smile even appeared on his face.
He spoke, "I know what I'm doing."
"To have any sense of propriety is to be reckless."
Bai Zhi, with a stern face, ordered him, "Go inside and rest. If your wound reopens, we won't take care of you anymore."
"And you?" Lu Ye glanced at the bicycle leaning against the tree.
Did she want to run into the tree?
"I'll continue practicing driving."
Bai Zhi craned her neck and smiled as she spoke to Dr. Li, who was standing not far away, "Dr. Li, could you please help me with this?"
"this......"
He was, of course, very happy to agree.
But he clearly sensed that some people had already fallen for him without even realizing it.
In case the jealousy gets out of control...
"Why are you looking at Company Commander Lu?" Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Is he telling you not to help him up?"
Dr. Li, "!!!"
Lu Ye coughed lightly, turned around and went back into the house.
Dr. Li came over to help hold the bicycle, and Bai Zhi rode it around twice, finally regaining the feeling of riding a bicycle from back then.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Li." She was leisurely pedaling her bicycle in the yard, in a good mood. "I can ride my bike to work tomorrow!"
Lu Ye stood by the window, watching the graceful figure in the courtyard, a soft light appearing in his eyes.
...
In the morning, Bai Zhi was woken up by her biological clock. She got up in her pajamas and, without thinking, ran to the bathroom in the yard with her hair disheveled.
As a result, when I ran to the bathroom door, I almost bumped into someone coming out of the way.
Bai Zhi braked suddenly, lost her footing, and fell forward due to inertia.
The man's strong arm caught her, while his other hand protected her chest injury from being hit.
"Be careful, I'm injured. It would be bad if my wound reopened and caused further damage."
Bai Zhi, “…!”
She looked up and met the man's deep eyes. She said "excuse me" in a flustered manner, awkwardly walked past him, and ran into the bathroom.
As the bathroom door slammed shut, the man raised his left hand, which had just touched her waist; the soft touch seemed to still linger on his fingertips…
When she came out of the bathroom, Lu Ye had not yet gone inside; he was taking a slow walk in the yard.
Bai Zhi knew she was disheveled and embarrassed by the earlier scene, so she lowered her head and crouched down, running past him like a phoenix.
The man watched her fleeing figure and let out a low chuckle.
Bai Zhi heard the man's low laughter behind her, went inside and glanced at herself in the mirror. She saw that her eyes were still covered in sleep, and instinctively thought that Lu Ye was laughing at her disheveled appearance.
She slammed the door shut, filled with shame and indignation. "That bastard! He actually laughed at me! Just wait till I get out there and I'll blind him with my blaze!"
It was still early, so she leisurely washed her hair, changed into the white fitted dress her uncle had given her, and then took out the skincare products she had bought a few days ago to do her makeup a little.
Finally, I even put on lipstick.
She usually wears her hair in a ponytail when the weather is hot.
But today, she deliberately let her long, black hair down, making her look ethereal.
After changing into sandals, she twirled in front of the vanity mirror.
A satisfied smile spread across his face.
She opened the bedroom door, and Dr. Yang saw her and smiled, "Dr. Bai, you're all dressed up so beautifully today?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "No, no, it's the same as usual."
"Come and have breakfast."
"Okay, thank you."
Bai Zhi followed Dr. Yang into the hall.
Lu Ye was already sitting at the dining table.
There were steamed buns, millet porridge with eggs, and other breakfast items on the table.
He heard the girl's gentle laughter at the door and glanced up inadvertently.
As he watched that tall, slender figure gracefully walk towards him, his heart skipped a beat.
"Company Commander Lu, Dr. Xiao Bai is here. Please have your meal."
Upon hearing Dr. Yang's voice, he looked away and regained his composure.
Chao Baizhi said, "Let's eat."
"good."
Bai Zhi sat down opposite Lu Ye.
She is usually not particular about details.
But dressed like this today, she can't help but adopt a ladylike demeanor.
Especially after applying lipstick, it's hard to eat large bites of food.
One can only dine elegantly and slowly.
Lu Ye's gaze kept falling on the girl's face across from him.
She was very thin, with a slender back, but her curves were well-developed.
Bai Zhi was eating a steamed bun when she felt the burning gaze directed at her from across the table. She looked up at him and asked, "Company Commander Lu, is there something on my face?"
Lu Ye, "!!!"
He coughed awkwardly, said nothing, and stuffed a large steamed bun into his mouth.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi reminded her...
"Company Commander Lu, eat less. We'll give you moxibustion later. You can't eat too much."
"Hmm." Lu Ye then ate only a steamed bun and drank some porridge before stopping.
After Bai Zhi finished eating, she went to prepare the medicinal moxibustion sticks for fumigation.
The two doctors have also disappeared without a trace.
They've been so carefree lately.
Bai Zhi prepared the moxibustion sticks and, after entering the room, gestured for Lu Ye to lie down.
Lu Ye took off his shirt and lay flat on the bed, and the girl sat down beside him.
Her face was delicately defined, her eyes were bright and determined, her long hair reached her waist, her white dress accentuated her curvaceous figure, and her bright red lips were like tempting cherries.
Looking at the girl so close to him, he felt his mouth go dry for the first time.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
She lit the medicated moxibustion stick, and soon the air was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Normally, the familiar scent of medicine would quickly calm him down and put him to sleep.
But today, he just couldn't calm down.
I want to open my eyes and see her.
