Chapter 624: Company Commander Zhou is Wounded
Bai Zhi naturally snuggled into the man's arms while she was asleep.
She hadn't seen him for several days, so she could only hug him like this in her dreams.
........
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhi slowly woke up and realized that something was wrong.
This embrace feels like it's not a dream.
I dream of holding him, but it doesn't feel as real as that.
She opened her eyes, and in the dim light from the window, she saw the man's enlarged face.
He looked tired, with a layer of stubble on his chin.
His face had become much thinner.
Bai Zhi stared at his face, her eyes widening in disbelief.
So, he came back last night?
She wasn't dreaming; she was actually embracing him.
As dawn broke, Bai Zhi, afraid of disturbing his rest, lay quietly in his arms without making a sound.
She lingered in his embrace, savoring his unique scent.
At this moment, she finally felt relieved.
I feel incredibly grounded and content.
She no longer has to live in fear.
She nestled in his arms like a docile kitten.
I feel incredibly satisfied and happy.
"Why aren't you saying anything now that you're awake?"
Bai Zhi heard the man's voice and raised her head. "You're awake?"
Why are you so calm when you see me?
"How could I be calm? I'm so excited, okay?" Bai Zhi hugged him tightly, resting her head on his chest, her voice choked with grievance. "You have no idea how I've been these past few days. I've been so worried."
"I'm sorry, I know my wife has suffered."
Lu Ye gently stroked her hair and kissed her forehead lightly. "It's my fault for making my wife worry."
"Are you not hurt?" Bai Zhi then remembered to check his body. She felt around on his body with both hands to see if he was unharmed.
The soft, boneless hands groping the man's body were undoubtedly stirring things up.
The man's large hand grabbed her mischievous little hand and pressed it against a certain spot without any politeness.
Bai Zhi, "!!!"
"I'm not injured," he said in a hoarse voice.
The shameful sensation of Bai Zhi's hand being pressed down made her completely quiet down.
She tried to pull her hand back, but the man's grip was too strong, and she couldn't pull it back at all.
"It's good that you're not hurt." Her voice was weak. "Let go of my hand."
"Touch me." His voice was ambiguous, alluring her like a ghost, "I want you to touch me."
"don't want."
"Hmm?" He made a move to flip over and climb on top of him.
Bai Zhi was afraid he would do something reckless, so she could only move her hand carefully while it was being held down by him.
"Are you very tired?"
She asked.
Normally, he wouldn't be lying quietly next to her; he would have already pounced on her.
"I am a little tired."
Bai Zhi lay obediently in his arms, listening to his voice, feeling incredibly heartbroken.
"Thanks for your hard work."
All she could do was hold him and comfort him.
"It feels much better to sleep while holding you."
"Wife, it's so good to have you."
Bai Zhi snuggled closer to him and acted coquettishly, "Tell me, how is it good?"
“I feel happy, content, and a sense of belonging,” he said. “But I’m also very sorry to have left you at home worrying about me; I really feel bad.”
"I'm fine, I'm used to it." Bai Zhi tried to sound relaxed and cheerful. "Besides, I have my own things to do. I don't have that much time to worry about you."
How's the shop renovation going?
"The flooring will be laid tomorrow. I plan to go to the city tomorrow to check out the medicine cabinets and herbs." She asked Lu Ye, "Have all the paperwork been completed?"
"Okay, once you've finished the renovations, you can open for business on a chosen auspicious day. The business license and other necessary documents will be delivered to you."
"Thank you, honey."
"How will you thank me?"
How do you want me to thank you?
"Come up."
Bai Zhi, "???"
"Honey, I'm tired. How about I take the initiative this time?"
"Get lost, I don't want to."
"You're just going to thank me verbally?"
I'm heartbroken.
Don't give me that.
"Then close your eyes."
"good."
Bai Zhi mimicked his usual wild manner, nibbling and nibbling at his face.
Suddenly, the man flipped over and pinned her down.
"I'll take the initiative."
...
After a passionate encounter, the two bodies embraced contentedly, drenched in sweat.
"Come on, let me carry you to wash up."
"I'll do it myself."
"Together."
He carried her into the bathroom.
When she came out, she was wearing cotton pajamas and her hair was wrapped in a towel.
"If you're not injured, why are there bloodstains on your clothes?"
"Company Commander Zhou is injured."
"Huh?" Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Lu Ye's words.
Wang Yumei's mouth is truly blessed.
Zhou Jianmin is really injured.
"Is it serious?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Fortunately, I only injured my calf a little."
Lu Ye was afraid of scaring Bai Zhi, so he spoke in a nonchalant tone.
In fact, Zhou Jianmin was shot in the calf.
I just had surgery last night to remove the bullet.
"Does Wang Yumei know?"
"The political commissar will tell her in the morning."
Last night, during the surgery, it was too late, and the leaders were afraid that disturbing Wang Yumei in the middle of the night would make her worry.
Furthermore, Zhou Jianmin was shot in the calf, which was not life-threatening, so the feelings of his family must be taken into consideration.
We must not let family members be disturbed in the middle of the night.
Just as Bai Zhi finished drying her hair and changing her clothes, she heard Political Commissar Zhang knocking on Wang Yumei's door.
"Xiao Wang."
"Political Commissar, why are you here so early? Is something the matter?" Wang Yumei had just gotten up, and her permed hair was still messy and hadn't been styled.
"Xiao Wang, you'll have to come to the hospital with me later," Political Commissar Zhang said to Wang Yumei.
Wang Yumei looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Political Commissar, what are you going to the hospital for?"
"That's right, Company Commander Zhou is back," Political Commissar Zhang said.
Wang Yumei is a smart woman; she should be able to guess what he meant after he said so much.
"Political Commissar, what do you mean? Zhou Jianmin is back? Where is he? Why didn't he go home?" Wang Yumei's face suddenly became tense. "Is he in the hospital?"
"Is he injured? Where is he injured?"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Wang Yumei grabbed Political Commissar Zhang and eagerly asked him several questions.
"He's alright. I came to let you know so you could take care of him."
Political Commissar Zhang said, "Xiao Wang, don't get agitated. It's really nothing serious. Go and get ready, and then I'll take you to the hospital."
"Okay." Wang Yumei hurriedly ran back into the house to wash up and comb her hair.
After tidying up, just as they were about to leave, Bai Zhi and Lu Ye happened to pass by their house.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, I heard my husband Zhou is injured? Is it serious?" Wang Yumei looked Lu Ye up and down and asked, "How come you're not injured? How exactly did my husband Zhou get hurt?"
Bai Zhi was displeased by her question. "Wang Yumei, how can you ask such a question? What do you mean, 'How come you weren't injured?' Does my Lu Ye deserve to be injured?"
