Chapter 151: Disturbing a Peaceful Dream
Bai Zhi explained,
"Last time, I accidentally saw the photo in her wallet, and I recognized that Comrade Gu as Niu Niu's second uncle, so I casually gave her a couple of words of encouragement."
"I see." But Lu Ye was still surprised.
It seems that his sister's inner distress and pressure had reached its limit, otherwise she would not have sought out Bai Zhi to confide in her.
Bai Zhi looked at Lu Ye and said seriously, "I just told Dr. Lu that Comrade Gu will definitely be fine. He is a hero with a special mission, just like you. The fact that we haven't heard from him for so long means that he has been sent by the organization to do something important. Once he completes his mission, he will definitely come back. Tell him to relax and not to torture himself."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ye was greatly shocked and looked at Bai Zhi with an incredulous gaze.
Bai Zhi was startled by his gaze.
She feigned confusion and asked cautiously, "Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Ye's expression softened. He moved closer to her and asked softly, "Xiao Bai, how did you come to the conclusion that Battalion Commander Gu was sent to do something important?"
"I'm not stupid. Besides, that's how it's always portrayed in the movies, isn't it?"
Bai Zhi looked at him with a bewildered yet shrewd expression, "I guess the reason we haven't heard from Comrade Gu yet is because he has a special mission."
"Perhaps." Lu Ye met her clear eyes and reminded her very seriously, "But you must never mention this outside, not even Gu Jingyi's name, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
"Then can I share more of my thoughts with you?" Bai Zhi looked at him with teary eyes, seeking his opinion.
Lu Ye patted her head and chuckled, "Of course you can."
He was also looking forward to seeing what unexpected ideas his girlfriend might come up with.
To be honest, she was shocked that Gu Jingyi would be going on a special mission.
He himself had certainly made the same guess and had even asked his superiors about it, but they denied it.
He's a soldier, and he's also Gu Jingyi's comrade-in-arms, so it's not surprising that he would think of this.
He was genuinely surprised that Bai Zhi, a young girl, could guess this and even dare to say it.
Bai Zhi continued, "I can tell that Comrade Gu is very important to Dr. Lu. When I was treating Niu Niu, I also came into contact with Gu's family. I also know that Comrade Gu's disappearance is a huge blow to his parents and family. Therefore, I really hope that Comrade Gu can return safely."
Lu Ye sighed, "That's what everyone hopes for."
Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly. She tilted her head and continued to guess, "Do you think Comrade Gu might be in the place where you were injured?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ye looked at her again with a complex expression.
This girl gets bolder and bolder the more she guesses.
Seeing his strange expression, she quickly explained, "I was just guessing."
In his previous life, Gu Jingyi also had hallucinogenic drugs in his body.
Therefore, after careful consideration, she realized that Gu Jingyi and Lu Ye might have fallen into the same criminal den.
Lu Ye interrupted her in time, "Stop guessing. These things are none of your business. If my sister comes to you for a heart-to-heart talk again, comfort her."
Bai Zhi nodded. "Oh."
"I'm going to wash my hair."
Lu Ye scooped her up, cupped her face, and gently kissed her forehead. "Go on."
Bai Zhi's heart skipped a beat again at his kiss.
Kissing on the forehead and stuff, that's so innocent.
She's an old lady, she really can't stand it.
When Bai Zhi came back after washing her hair, Lu Ye had already brought her the metal-cased hair dryer from home, saying he would help her dry her hair.
Bai Zhi took the hair dryer from his hand and started to shoo him away, saying, "No need, no need, you can't do it yourself, I can do it myself."
Rejected, Lu Ye could only turn around and leave reluctantly. "Then go to sleep early after you finish blowing, and I'll wake you up in the morning."
As Bai Zhi lay in bed, her mind a jumble of emotions, preparing to leave Nancheng and head to Bincheng.
If I'm not mistaken, Bai Weiwei and Zhao Kai should be working in a factory in Bincheng right now.
She was really looking forward to seeing them.
Bai Weiwei's expression when she sees the mighty and muscular Lu Ye will definitely be quite interesting.
And then there's Zhao Kai. In this life, she'll see if he can amount to anything!
Bai Zhi recalled many things from her past life and unknowingly fell asleep.
However, it felt like I had only been asleep for a short while when someone knocked on the door.
She was startled in her sleep.
I groggily opened my eyes, and my first instinct was to look for something to defend myself.
Suddenly it dawned on me that I was at the Lu family's house.
There will be no security issues.
Could it be Lu Ye?
This bastard isn't lonely or bored, letting her touch him again in the middle of the night?
That's so mean.
Who is it?
Bai Zhi asked, feigning composure.
"Xiao Zhi, open the door, it's me."
Bai Zhi's expression hardened slightly after recognizing the voice.
The smile on his lips froze instantly.
"It's the middle of the night. Whatever you need to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."
"Xiao Zhi, please open the door, okay? I'm in so much pain all over my body, I can't sleep. Please open the door and take a look at me, okay?"
Wang Shufen's voice was almost pleading.
Bai Zhi said several times that they would talk about it when it got light, but Wang Shufen had no intention of leaving. She kept pleading and knocking on the door.
Bai Zhi was so annoyed by her noise that she couldn't fall asleep at all.
I had no choice but to get up and run to open the door.
At first, she was worried that this woman appearing at her door in the middle of the night would be harmful to her.
But then I thought, given Wang Shufen's current illness, it's good enough that she can even climb stairs; she has no ability to pose a threat to her.
Bai Zhi opened the door.
Wang Shufen, dressed in pajamas and with disheveled hair, slumped at the doorway, her voice trembling with sobs as she pleaded.
"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi, please save me." Wang Shufen tried to stand up, but her body was very weak. She supported herself on her knees and struggled to get up.
Afraid that Bai Zhi would close the door, he quickly crawled inside.
Bai Zhi turned on the headlights, her peaceful sleep disturbed. She was really angry and looked coldly at the disheveled woman in front of her, saying, "It's two in the morning. It's very impolite of you to disturb people's sleep."
Although such people have absolutely no manners.
"Xiaozhi, I don't want this to happen either, but I'm in so much pain that I can't sleep. I feel pain in every bone in my body, even my fingernails hurt. Every part of my body except my hair hurts. I'm in so much pain, please help me."
Bai Zhi did not find Wang Shufen's description exaggerated at all.
This is what the active phase of rheumatoid arthritis looks like.
Especially in systemic rheumatoid arthritis, the pain is migratory.
Moreover, the joint lesions are very symmetrical.
During the active phase of the illness, symptoms worsen at night, with the whole body becoming stiff, joints becoming hot and swollen, making even turning over in bed difficult.
In Western medicine, this disease is a problem with the immune system. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor, and C-reactive protein will all be elevated. The symptoms are as Wang Shufen described, affecting all the joints in the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis of arthralgia.
