Chapter 296 Her hands were incredibly steady.
With that thought in mind, Zheng Xiangyang first personally saw them off at the door, and then helped them into the car.
As the car door closed, Zheng Xiangyang shouted to Du Ruoxia.
"Dr. Du, we will meet again!"
Du Ruoxia turned around and smiled slightly at him, thinking to herself that maybe so, she didn't really care.
The vehicle left the military drug research center, and what followed was a long drive.
Du Ruoxia quickly leaned against the bedside and fell asleep.
Commander Li asked her guards to give her a coat to cover herself with, and then she leaned against the other side of the window and fell asleep.
Du Ruoxia slept soundly and woke up the next morning.
She slept by the window all night, and now her head was foggy and her neck was a little sore.
She pressed her neck and gently twisted it, and her neck, which had been tilted, quickly returned to normal.
She stretched again, and her whole body immediately felt extremely relaxed.
Commander Li also woke up at this time, his neck stiff from sleeping too long.
When he woke up, he let out a soft "ah," and Du Ruoxia immediately realized that something was wrong with him.
"Commander Li, you slept with your neck leaning back in the chair last night, and it looks like you twisted it. Let me help you set your spine."
As Du Ruoxia spoke, she stood up and grabbed Commander Li by the neck.
With a sudden tightening of her grip, Commander Li cried out in pain.
Both guards turned around and looked at her warily.
Du Ruoxia smiled and raised her hands, looking completely innocent as she spoke to them.
"I only helped Commander Li set his bones, I really didn't do anything else."
"I feel much better after Dr. Du massaged my neck."
Commander Li took the initiative to speak up for Du Ruoxia.
He twisted his neck; although it was still a little stiff, it was much more comfortable than before.
"Xiao Zhou, drive carefully and don't get distracted."
"Yes, Commander."
Since Commander Li had spoken, the two police officers dared not say anything more.
Du Ruoxia looked at the sky outside, then at the surrounding scenery, and turned her head to ask a question.
"We should be there soon, right?"
"It's still early; it'll take at least another morning to get going."
Du Ruoxia responded softly, her mood sinking again.
Sitting in the car is so unbearable; you can't do what you like, and it's such a waste of time.
"Commander Li, get ready, I'm about to begin today's treatment."
"Can treatment be performed in the car?"
Commander Li originally thought that today's treatment would be postponed, but it turned out that it didn't delay anything at all.
"sure."
Du Ruoxia opened the tools she carried with her, and Commander Li took off his shirt.
The space inside the vehicle was cramped, and Commander Li, being tall, still felt somewhat constrained.
However, none of these matters to Du Ruoxia.
"Xiao Zhou, drive slower for a bit."
Commander Li couldn't help but remind him, mainly because he was worried that the road was too bumpy and Dr. Du's hand might shake and the acupuncture needles might go astray.
"Yes, Commander."
After listening to Commander Li's words, Xiao Zhou slowed down his driving speed.
The vehicle moved slowly, and at this speed, it was estimated that it would not return to the military compound until two or three in the afternoon.
Du Ruoxia took out a silver needle, first inserted it into Commander Li's back, and then looked up at Xiao Zhou and said.
"Xiao Zhou, drive faster, I need to get back for lunch."
Pregnant women are prone to hunger. Du Ruoxia hadn't felt anything before, but now the feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
She's been on the road for the past few days, which has taken a toll on her health.
Du Ruoxia didn't want to continue the journey; she just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
"But, but..."
Next week will be a bit difficult. Logically speaking, he is Commander Li's bodyguard and should unconditionally obey his leader.
However, since Dr. Du held Commander Li's life in her hands, he had no choice but to respect her opinion.
The two people disagree, and Xiao Zhou is caught in the middle, facing a dilemma.
He looked at Du Ruoxia pleadingly, hoping she wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Du Ruoxia remained unmoved, so he could only secretly glance at Commander Li.
Commander Li, with a dark expression, waved his hand dismissively.
"When we're on Dr. Du's turf, we'll listen to Dr. Du."
Xiao Zhou sped up the car, and as it drove at high speed, Du Ruoxia's hands remained steady, without trembling even once.
As for Commander Li's concern that Du Ruoxia might mis-prick acupoints, that did not happen at all.
As Du Ruoxia inserted the silver needles one by one, Commander Li quickly felt a warm current flowing through his body.
Dr. Du truly lives up to her reputation; no matter the environment, it doesn't affect her.
She looks young, but she is actually very mature in her speech and actions.
Commander Li is already over 60 years old, but he always feels that Du Ruoxia's vision is more than that.
Her medical skills are so superb that they are probably not as simple as he claims.
Commander Li believed that there were geniuses in the world, but in the field of medicine, one still needed to practice until mastering the skills.
Du Ruoxia gives people the impression of being very mature and trustworthy when she sees patients.
Just like before, even though it was their first time meeting, Du Ruoxia simply placed her hand on his wrist, and miraculously calmed him down.
Her overall demeanor is very calming.
After Du Ruoxia finished the treatment and put away the silver needles, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Every time I concentrate fully on doing something, I always feel exhausted afterward.
This feeling has become even stronger since I became pregnant.
Du Ruoxia took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Du."
Commander Li finished dressing and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Du Ruoxia had a very tiring journey by car to come and treat his illness.
"It's not hard work."
Du Ruoxia only replied briefly, seemingly not very enthusiastic about speaking.
The car arrived at the entrance of the military compound at 1 p.m.
Du Ruoxia originally wanted to get out of the car to greet the guards, but to her surprise, Xiao Zhou rolled down the window, showed his ID, and someone immediately came out to greet her.
All the guards saluted their vehicle.
One of the guards jogged behind the car, occasionally pointing out directions to Xiao Zhou.
"Sir, your accommodations have been arranged. Please come with me."
Du Ruoxia noticed that the direction the guard was leading them was actually the small courtyard where Commander Zhou used to live.
"Where did Commander Zhou and his family move to?"
After Du Ruoxia got out of the car, she asked curiously, and the guard quickly answered.
"Commander Zhou has finished his training at the lower levels and has now been transferred to another unit."
Du Ruoxia then realized his identity. The Zhou family were all soldiers, and their relatives included many high-ranking military leaders.
They were just here for training, and once they were done, they should naturally go back.
However, it was too much of a coincidence that Commander Zhou moved out immediately after Commander Li arrived.
Regardless, Commander Li settled down here.
His prices are high, so very few people know he lives here, and he is usually not bothered by anyone.
He was cared for by two bodyguards, and Du Ruoxia only needed to go to him for treatment once a day in the morning.
After settling Commander Li in, Du Ruoxia returned home.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the yard is filled with various medicinal herbs drying in the sun.
