Chapter 33: You'll regret missing out on Bai Zhi
Lu Ye stared at the soldiers who were about to rebel, his face dark with anger.
He used to act like a mouse before a cat, but now that he's only injured, not dead, he's acting so arrogantly.
Lu Ye had already imagined countless cruel punishments for this brat.
Ye Qingbai drank some water, put the cup down, and looked at Lu Ye with a mysterious expression, asking, "Company Commander, do you know who came to meet my future sister-in-law today?"
Lu Ye's face was gloomy, as if to say, "Take it or leave it."
Ye Qingbai said proudly, "He's my cousin."
"What?"
Lu Ye sat up abruptly, also shocked by Ye Qingbai's words.
Ye Qingbai's cousin?
He knew that Ye Qingbai was from Bincheng.
but.......
How could Bai Zhi's relatives happen to be Ye Qingbai's family?
Ye Qingbai nodded excitedly, "Yes, Ye Tiandong is my cousin, and my future sister-in-law said she is my aunt's daughter, so she is my cousin."
"Have you admitted it?" Lu Ye concealed the shock in his eyes and asked casually.
"Not yet, my cousin went to my future sister-in-law's hometown to confirm her identity."
Ye Qingbai looked expectant. "I think it's pretty much true. My uncle said that my future sister-in-law looks a lot like my aunt when she was young. If they weren't mother and daughter, how could they look alike? Besides, my future sister-in-law has half of a jade pendant that is exactly the same as the one my uncle has."
Thinking of this, Ye Qingbai squinted his eyes, feeling secretly pleased. "Company Commander, from now on I'll be your brother-in-law. Surprised? Unexpected?"
Lu Ye, "!!!"
"I'll say it again, don't call her anything wrong, I will not marry her."
Ye Qingbai said, “Company Commander, anything is possible. Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly. My cousin is smart, charming, beautiful, and has a great presence. Most importantly, she can save your life. She’s an angel descended from heaven. If you don’t seize this opportunity, you’ll definitely regret it later.”
Lu Ye's hawk-like eyes flickered slightly, but he stubbornly retorted, "What do I have to regret?"
Ye Qingbai leaned closer to Lu Ye, revealing a mysterious expression once again, "Company Commander, let me tell you a secret. I heard my dad say that my third grandfather was invited to treat a big shot a few years ago."
He may seem unassuming, but he actually has an extensive network of connections. He knows countless influential and powerful people, and numerous powerful families fawn over him. If you don't seize the opportunity to win my cousin over while she's with you, the day my third grandfather takes her away, he'll definitely introduce her to someone even more powerful. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it.
Lu Ye lowered his eyes, making it impossible to read his emotions. He waved his hand and said, "Go and rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll go out and buy some fruit."
After leaving the hospital, Ye Qingbai ate a bowl of noodles outside. When he came back in, he was carrying large and small bags, with all sorts of fruits, snacks, canned meat, and other things. He was looking around at the door of the doctor's office.
"Comrade, is there something you need?" a young nurse asked politely when she saw the suspicious-looking man.
"Is Dr. Lu here?" Ye Qingbai inquired.
"Dr. Lu seems to be in the break room."
"Then please take these things inside and put them on Dr. Lu's desk. It's just a small token of Ye Qingbai's appreciation."
The nurse's eyes gleamed with gossip as she glanced at Ye Qingbai and nodded cheerfully, "Okay."
"Thank you." Ye Qingbai left only two bunches of grapes and carried them into the ward.
"Company commander, the grapes I bought for you are very fresh. I'll go wash them for you."
Lu Zheng'an had a meeting at work in the morning, but now that he had some free time, he came over. Ye Qingbai washed some grapes and brought them into the ward. When he saw Lu Zheng'an, he greeted him warmly, "Uncle, you've come! Have some grapes."
At this moment, Lu Zheng'an saw Ye Qingbai, his eyes shining brightly, and he became even more enthusiastic than before, "Little Ye, I heard from Lu Shan that you and Elder Ye of Bincheng Derentang are related?"
Ye Qingbai replied truthfully, "Yes, Uncle, the old doctor Ye from Derentang is my third grandfather."
"What a coincidence!" Lu Zheng'an was shocked and looked at Lu Ye in confusion, asking, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye is your soldier, haven't you heard him mention this before?"
"Dad, I'm just his company commander. There's no need for me to investigate his distant relatives, is there?"
"Too."
They only knew about Dr. Ye from Bincheng Derentang because Bai Zhi told them about him; they had no idea about him before.
Regardless of whether Bai Zhi was truly Old Master Ye's granddaughter, Lu Zheng'an couldn't wait to inquire about Old Master Ye from Ye Qingbai, "Little Ye, tell us in detail what kind of person your third grandfather was, whether his medical skills were superb, and where he is now?"
Ye Qingbai replied, “Uncle, my third grandfather’s medical skills are quite good. People used to often inquire about him and seek his treatment. However, he has a very strange temper, and Derentang is often closed. He usually travels around, and I can’t go back often because I’m in the army. I haven’t seen him for several years.”
"Oh, I see." Lu Zheng'an nodded thoughtfully.
This is basically consistent with what Bai Zhi said.
Lu Zheng'an asked again,
"So, have you ever heard your cousin's story before? Didn't you all know your cousin had a daughter?"
Ye Qingbai shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I only know that my aunt was sent to the countryside when she was young and died there."
Lu Zheng'an said "oh," and for now, he could only wait for Ye Tiandong to return from Dawan Village to find out the result.
Lu Ye asked Lu Zheng'an, "Dad, how's the house arrangement going? Can he be discharged today?"
"Xiao Ye, I've arranged the house. Your mother will go over to clean it after get off work today. Once it's ventilated and tidied up, you can move in. However..." Lu Zheng'an hesitated for a moment on his weathered face.
"Is there anything else?"
Lu Zheng'an looked troubled. "The hospital hopes you can go to the rehabilitation center to recuperate and have Dr. Li and the others treat you."
Lu Ye didn't speak, but looked directly at Ye Qingbai and said, "Qingbai, invite the hospital leaders over for me. I want to communicate with them personally."
Lu Shan walked in just then, carrying a bunch of things.
"Platoon Leader Ye, did you buy these?" Lu Shan placed the bags in her hand on the bedside table and said, "I'm usually quite busy and don't have time to eat, so give them to Xiao Ye."
Ye Qingbai looked slightly disappointed and gave an awkward smile. "Fine, it doesn't matter who eats it."
Lu Shan said to Lu Ye, "Xiao Ye, the medical team will be here soon. After the final check-up, you can be discharged."
When the effects of the medication were not acting up, Lu Ye was indeed no different from a normal person, and his postoperative wound was also fine, fully meeting the discharge criteria.
In principle, regarding the toxic drugs in his body, he should be transferred to Dr. Li and Dr. Yang's professional rehabilitation center.
But living in the rehabilitation center is definitely not as nice as the courtyard arranged by Lu Zheng'an.
In the afternoon, hospital leaders and medical team experts came to check on Lu Ye's condition.
He was finally approved to be discharged tomorrow.
He was assigned Dr. Li and Dr. Yang as his personal physicians to detoxify him.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Bai Zhi went directly to the military hospital to give Lu Ye acupuncture.
She came in covered in sweat, looking travel-worn and exhausted from the hot weather. "Company Commander Lu, I'm going to wash my hands. Please get ready, let's begin."
"good."
Lu Ye noticed the girl with beads of sweat on her forehead and gestured for her to eat some fruit.
"No need, I'm not thirsty. Let's do acupuncture first."
Angelica dahurica may seem polite and courteous, but it gives people a sense of distant estrangement.
Lu Ye watched the girl fiddling with the silver needles. She was clean, efficient, professional, and capable, seemingly without a trace of personal emotion.
Ye Qingbai's words inexplicably surfaced in my mind.
Lu Ye couldn't help but ask himself, if he didn't hold onto her, would he really regret it?
All he knew was that feelings are reciprocal.
She appeared warm and polite, but in reality, there was a distance between them.
It was as if the girl who wrote him the explicit love letters wasn't her at all.
After disinfecting, Bai Zhi came over with silver needles.
Lu Ye was already seated, and as she approached, the unique medicinal fragrance filled his nostrils.
It has a strange calming effect.
