Chapter 164 They actually let someone use such cheesy words!
When Du Ruoxia woke up early the next morning, Yang Zeyan had already gone to the army. There was still some white rice porridge he had cooked on the stove in the kitchen.
The white rice porridge was cooked long enough to make it soft, sticky, and very delicious.
As I drink this warm porridge, my body gradually warms up.
She held the bowl in both hands, constantly breathing out cold air.
In just one night, she developed dark circles under her eyes.
It seems I've gotten used to the warmth of a warm embrace, and now I'm not used to sleeping alone in a bed.
Du Ruoxia sat at the table and slowly finished her porridge.
She took out a small stove from the kitchen, burned some charcoal, and put it inside to keep warm.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and a thick coat alone is no longer enough.
The cold wind howled in from outside, but Du Ruoxia endured the freezing cold and opened the window a crack to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Yang Zeyan, if you can apologize to me properly after get off work today and accept my treatment, I will reluctantly forgive you."
While warming herself by the fire, Du Ruoxia suddenly muttered something to herself.
Du Ruoxia prepared medicine while warming herself by the fire at home, and the day passed quickly.
As evening approached, anticipating Yang Zeyan's return, Du Ruoxia coughed lightly a few times, tilting her head slightly and deliberately striking a pose.
The weather was still a bit cold, so Du Ruoxia warmed herself by the fire for a few more minutes before standing up to prepare to cook.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Needless to say, it wasn't Yang Zeyan who had returned.
He has his own key and never knocks when he comes back; he just opens the door directly.
Du Ruoxia stepped forward and opened the door, only to find Wang Yujun, whom she hadn't seen for several days.
Du Ruoxia stepped forward, and Wang Yujun quickly grabbed her arm and led her outside.
"I bought a lot of good food today. I promised to invite you to my house for dinner last time, but I haven't had a chance to invite you because my child was scalded by boiling water."
"I made special preparations in advance this time. Come with Staff Officer Yang and try my cooking."
The child's injury is healing well. Originally, there was a hideous scar after the injury healed, but after using the scar removal cream given by Du Ruoxia, the scar has faded a lot.
If it weren't for Du Ruoxia's help in the emergency last time, she, a woman, really wouldn't know what to do in such a situation.
Fortunately, everything is now over and there's no real danger.
Du Ruoxia originally planned to go, but then she thought that she had just had a cold war with Yang Zeyan yesterday, and if she went to someone else's house for dinner today, it would be easy for people to notice if they both had cold faces.
"I'm not feeling well today and don't really want to go out. Maybe we should go another time?"
Du Ruoxia already had fair skin, and with the cold weather, her face turned even paler.
"Are you alright? Should we go see a doctor?"
Wang Yujun looked at her with a worried expression, then realized what she meant.
"Why see another doctor? You're the best doctor in our compound."
Du Ruoxia smiled weakly, "I just want to have some porridge tonight and rest for a bit. I'll be fine in a few days."
Seeing her like this, Wang Yujun didn't dare to force her, but quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into her palm.
Du Ruoxia paid for the child's medical treatment and applied medicine with her own money.
She didn't give me the money a few days ago because she wasn't quite sure what to do with it.
Now that the child is completely healed, and has been using the scar removal cream that Du Ruoxia gave him for free, it wouldn't be right not to give him some money.
"Sister-in-law Wang, what's going on?"
Du Ruoxia didn't immediately accept the red envelope, but looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Your medical skills are your own achievement, but I can't let you spend both money and effort. The child's wound is healing very well. This red envelope is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive."
Wang Yujun heard that Du Ruoxia had helped Liu Zhengwei's family deliver a baby and had given them a red envelope, and a very large one at that.
Her family's circumstances were only average, so the red envelopes they gave were definitely not as generous as others', and she felt very embarrassed.
"No need, I just happened to be having dinner at my sister-in-law's house when this happened. It was just a small favor, why would I need a red envelope?"
Wang Yujun praised her medical skills everywhere in the family compound, which made her famous, and she never had to worry about people not seeking her medical treatment.
This is already considered advertising revenue, so it wouldn't be appropriate to charge again.
"Yes, yes, I heard from the elders in my family that you shouldn't let people help you with your child's medical treatment for free. If you're unwilling to spend money, your child's illness won't get better."
Wang Yujun spoke so seriously that Du Ruoxia almost believed him.
Taking advantage of her distraction, Wang Yujun quickly stuffed the red envelope into her pocket.
Du Ruoxia chased after him to return it, but Wang Yujun had already run away in a flash.
As she ran, she said, "You absolutely must keep this red envelope and never give it back to me. If you do, I'll never dare to ask you for favors again!"
Wang Yujun had already put it this way, so Du Ruoxia had no choice but to accept it.
She turned to go inside, but someone outside in the yard kept calling out "Sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Staff Officer Yang asked me to pass on a message to you."
Du Ruoxia turned around in confusion and saw a strange young man standing anxiously at the gate of the courtyard.
"What message did Yang Zeyan ask you to pass on?"
Why can't he just say it himself? Is Yang Zeyan avoiding her by not even going home?
Du Ruoxia felt slightly uncomfortable at the thought of this possibility.
"Staff Officer Yang said he has an urgent mission and may not be back for ten days to half a month. You need to eat well and sleep well these few days. While he's away, you, you..."
The young man's face grew redder and redder as he spoke, and he couldn't even finish his last sentence.
Du Ruoxia stepped forward to try and hear more clearly. The young man's face turned bright red when he saw his sister-in-law, who was as beautiful as a fairy.
When Du Ruoxia reached the edge of the courtyard, he didn't say a word and just ran away.
He still couldn't understand why Staff Officer Yang couldn't say what he wanted to say himself. Why did he have to deliver such a cheesy message? It was practically an insult to their relationship.
Du Ruoxia looked at the young man who had disappeared in an instant with a puzzled expression. She frowned slightly. Could she be some kind of monster?
Otherwise, how could that person run so fast?
Or is it that he's naturally athletic, a born athlete, and his speed is just that impressive?
The young man had already run far away, and Du Ruoxia had no way to catch him and ask him what had happened.
She understood the gist of it: Yang Zeyan had accepted an urgent mission and left without saying goodbye.
Du Ruoxia breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason, but a faint worry lingered in her heart.
It was completely dark outside, and the area outside the residential compound was quiet.
In the past, at this time, she and Yang Zeyan were busy with their own things, but she didn't feel lonely.
Now that she's all alone in the house, it feels rather cold and deserted.
Fortunately, Du Ruoxia was so engrossed in preparing medicine that she had long been accustomed to being alone.
She prepared some medicine, boiled two hot water bottles, and even moved the blankets from Yang Zeyan's room to her room.
With two blankets, I definitely won't feel cold tonight.
