Chapter 101: Take off your clothes and let me see.
Lu Ye shook his head, "Not yet."
Old Lu excitedly gave him advice, "Then you should go to the pharmacy early tomorrow and wait for Xiao Zhi to get off work. You are a man, so you must be proactive and show your full sincerity."
"I will."
Lu Ye was so obedient and cooperative that it almost made people suspect he was a fake.
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun remained quite calm.
After they finished eating, Wang Shufen and Lu Hai went back to the house. Lu Ye said to Lu Lao and his parents, "Bai Zhi wants to go see her maternal grandfather. I'm worried about her safety going out alone, so I want to accompany her."
Old Lu: "Great! You've finally seen the light!"
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun were happy to see Lu Ye's progress in his romantic relationships.
But when he said he was going to go with Bai Zhi to find her maternal grandfather, they couldn't help but worry about whether his health could handle it.
But these words couldn't be said to the old man's face; they could only offer their support on the surface.
Old Master Lu grasped Lu Ye's hand and spoke earnestly, "Xiao Ye, I'm really pleased that you're so proactive. I've made up my mind. When Xiao Zhi's maternal grandfather arrives, I'll have him treat my illness as well. I think Xiao Zhi is quite capable; her maternal grandfather has the reputation of a divine doctor, so he must be even more skilled."
The grandson is obedient and has a strong will to live; he wants to live a few more years.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling in the hospital?"
"The treatment was so-so," Old Lu sighed. "I still believe in traditional Chinese medicine. It can treat the root cause of the disease, while Western medicine only treats the symptoms. Besides, there are too many unnecessary tests. Those doctors can't treat diseases without the equipment."
Lu Zheng'an nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Dad, you're absolutely right."
Having witnessed Lu Ye's situation, Lu Zheng'an completely agreed with the old man's assessment of this issue.
They used to be healthy and didn't go to the hospital often. Plus, their daughter was a surgeon, so they subconsciously preferred advanced Western medical techniques.
I always feel that traditional Chinese medicine treats illnesses too slowly, and it always talks about conditioning. But if you're already sick, what's the use of just conditioning?
But now they understand.
Bai Zhi once said that traditional Chinese medicine keeps diseases out of hospitals.
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on nourishment, while Western medicine focuses on treatment.
Western medicine can pull patients back from the brink of death, making it suitable for emergency care.
Lu Haigang was humming a song as he came downstairs when he heard their conversation. He turned around and asked curiously, "Is my future sister-in-law's grandfather a miracle doctor?"
So Bai Zhi was taught by her maternal grandfather?
"Yes, I've heard that Old Ye from Derentang in Bincheng is indeed a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I've heard he's very famous in Bincheng."
Lu Hai seemed to be thinking about something, "Oh, then my cousin-in-law's medical skills must be pretty good too."
He squinted and fell into deep thought.
If Bai Zhi truly understands Traditional Chinese Medicine, shouldn't we take her words seriously?
She said his health was severely depleted and he looked unwell...
Lu Hai's heart skipped a beat.
No, no, no, she must be talking nonsense.
I was just spouting nonsense to scare him.
He's young and vigorous, strong and healthy, how weak could he be?
"Xiao Hai, do you want your mother to receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment?" Xie Yun said. "Your mother previously saw a doctor at Jishengtang, where Bai Zhi works, and used their black plaster. I heard she had an allergic reaction and even caused trouble for Xiao Zhi because of it."
Xie Yun did not want Bai Zhi to take on Wang Shufen as a patient.
Wang Shufen already looked down on Bai Zhi and harbored prejudice against her. If uncontrollable problems arose during the treatment, Wang Shufen would definitely make things difficult for Bai Zhi.
Xie Yun continued, "It's impossible for her to agree to traditional Chinese medicine treatment. You should take her to the hospital for a checkup. Her condition can't be delayed any longer."
Lu Hai nodded upon hearing this. "Aunt, I'll take my mom to the hospital tomorrow."
Grandpa Lu was also concerned about Wang Shufen's health and urged Lu Hai to take her to several hospitals for a check-up as soon as possible.
He actually preferred to have Bai Zhi treat Wang Shufen, but he also knew that Wang Shufen did not trust Bai Zhi.
...
In the evening, Grandpa Lu asked Lu Ye to keep him company and talk about work.
The grandfather and grandson sat on chairs in the old man's room. The old man looked at Lu Ye and asked with a smile, "I heard from your father that you might be promoted to deputy battalion commander?"
Lu Ye replied tactfully, "Grandpa, it's not certain yet."
The old man laughed heartily, "Lu Ye, you're great, you're my pride."
"Keep up the good work."
Grandpa Lu patted his shoulder and solemnly instructed him, "But you must be careful. You are so young to be promoted to deputy battalion commander. Only you know how hard you have worked behind the scenes. You must improve your abilities and strengthen your training in the future. Only with excellent professional skills and good health can you complete your missions better and more effectively."
"Grandpa, I know."
Old Lu looked at him, smiled, and said, "Take off your clothes, let me see how your health has been lately?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's pupils contracted slightly. He moved his arm and laughed it off, "Grandpa, don't look, he's all muscle."
"Take it off," Old Master Lu ordered.
Lu Ye forced a smile, but didn't make a move to take off his clothes. He explained, "Grandpa, you know I injured my back last year. The scar is ugly. Xiao Zhi said she would get me some scar-removing medicine. I'll show it to you after I apply the medicine and the scar fades."
Old Lu's bright eyes dimmed, and he waved his hand, "Never mind."
"Go out, I need to rest too."
"Okay." Lu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went out the door.
Old Master Lu watched his departing figure with a somber expression and sighed heavily.
For soldiers, earning merit and promotion is never an easy thing.
Especially special forces soldiers.
Military medals are earned with one's life.
As soon as Lu Ye went upstairs, Lu Zheng'an followed him in.
He asked Lu Ye, "Are you really going to go with Bai Zhi to find Elder Ye?"
Lu Ye responded, "Yes, I'm worried about her being alone."
"Can your body handle it?" Lu Zheng'an asked with concern.
Lu Ye said, "Dad, Elder Ye is a miracle doctor. As long as we find Elder Ye, we don't need to worry about any health problems."
Lu Zheng'an smiled and teased, "It seems you're quite satisfied with Bai Zhi?"
Lu Ye replied in a serious tone, "The question now is whether she can be satisfied with me."
Lu Zheng'an, "..."
It's over.
It's over!
At night, Lu Ye lay in bed with his arms behind his head, but he couldn't fall asleep.
He couldn't smell that familiar medicinal scent, and not only was he wide awake, but he also felt a strange sense of unease rising within him.
He couldn't help but wonder what Bai Zhi was doing at this moment.
When he's not around, is she afraid to be alone?
Can I sleep peacefully?
After tossing and turning in bed for an hour, Lu Ye finally sat up abruptly.
He put on his shirt, pulled on his trousers, turned off the lights, and went out.
At this moment, everyone in the family was in their rooms, and the living room was empty. He quietly walked out of the house.
