Chapter 300 Suddenly feeling a bit irritable
During the day, Commander Li would train the soldiers in the army. In the evening, he would be exhausted and, after dinner, would quietly wait for Du Ruoxia.
He has gotten used to Du Ruoxia's treatment over this period of time.
Du Ruoxia's belly grew bigger day by day, making it increasingly difficult for her to walk.
Even so, she still insisted on giving him acupuncture every day.
At first, Chief Li felt at ease, but gradually he became embarrassed.
"Dr. Du, if it's really inconvenient for you to move around, I can come to your home for treatment."
After Du Ruoxia finished her treatment for the day, Chief Li asked her tentatively as he dressed.
Du Ruoxia glanced at him, then refused without thinking.
"No need. Although I am pregnant and walking is a bit difficult, I am far from meeting the standard for bed rest."
"I walk around every day to keep myself active, which will make it easier for me to have a natural birth later."
"Besides, I need to take off my clothes every time I treat you, which is inconvenient for you to do."
Du Ruoxia paused here, and Chief Li's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
"You're right, it is indeed inconvenient."
Chief Li touched his nose, not daring to bring up the matter again.
Despite his imposing presence outside, Chief Li is quite docile in front of Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia is not very old and usually seems approachable.
However, she is very serious about treatment, and everything must be done according to her requirements without any carelessness.
Du Ruoxia put him under immense pressure, but because of her exceptional medical skills, he dared not complain.
Over time, Chief Li was completely controlled by Du Ruoxia.
After disinfecting the silver needles, Du Ruoxia was about to leave when she stopped and turned back to say something very seriously.
"Chief Li, you are my elder, so I shouldn't be too strict with you."
“Now I am your doctor and you are my patient. If you don’t follow medical advice, I have no choice but to say something.”
"Your body has not fully recovered yet, so you must eat a light diet until the treatment is over."
"Don't think I don't know you're secretly eating chili peppers! Or that I just don't want to tell you!"
"You affected my treatment outcome, forcing me to extend my treatment time, so don't blame me for taking care of you!"
Du Ruoxia spoke seriously, and even Chief Li, a man of such upright character, was taken aback by her seriousness and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How...how did you know?"
Chief Li was somewhat embarrassed and lowered his voice when asking questions.
Du Ruoxia glanced at his face and body a few times before slowly speaking.
"My silver needles won't lie to me, and your body won't lie to me either."
"I not only know you've been secretly eating chili peppers, but you've also been eating a lot of garlic lately."
Du Ruoxia's gaze was sharp, and Chief Li was completely speechless this time.
Because he tragically discovered that Dr. Du had found out everything he had been doing in secret.
He's an old man, and he finally managed to pull off some sneaky tricks, but he never expected to get caught red-handed.
Commander Li was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, and half of his face turned red.
"I won't do it again next time."
It is said that the elderly are like children again, and Chief Li, who is over 60 years old, was like a child who had made a mistake, speaking with a hint of grievance.
Du Ruoxia gave him a noncommittal look, then hurriedly walked out.
Seeing Du Ruoxia leave, Xiao Zhou immediately chased after her anxiously.
“It’s so late. It’s not safe for Dr. Du, a pregnant woman, to go home alone. I’ll go see her off.”
"Go, go, make sure you get Dr. Du back safely."
Chief Li was very concerned about Du Ruoxia's safety.
Xiao Zhou ran after her and quickly caught up with Du Ruoxia.
"Dr. Du, don't walk so fast! Wait for me! I have something to tell you!"
Xiao Zhou was very anxious, and Du Ruoxia stopped in her tracks as soon as she got away from the courtyard.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"Dr. Du, thank you for saying these things to Chief Li today. If it weren't for your reminder, Chief Li definitely wouldn't have listened to what others said."
Xiao Zhou scratched his head awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed as he spoke.
"So you wrote that whistleblower letter?"
Du Ruoxia's statement appears to be a question, but it is actually an affirmative statement.
Xiao Zhou blushed slightly, his expression a little awkward, but he still nodded gently.
"Dr. Du guessed correctly, I did write the whistleblower letter."
Xiao Zhou paused for a moment, and Du Ruoxia's smile immediately became extremely bright.
"Little Zhou, you're really bold! Aren't you afraid I'll tell Chief Li what you said? You'll be in big trouble then!"
Du Ruoxia deliberately threatened, and the little pig was indeed startled.
He explained with a wry smile, "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this, but there was really no other way."
“You specifically instructed him not to eat spicy or strongly flavored food, but Chief Li’s condition is not stable yet, and he won’t listen to advice.”
“Nothing we said to him worked; he only listens to you. I had no other choice but to come up with this idea.”
Xiao Zhou's smile was somewhat bitter, and tinged with helplessness.
After all, he was in the wrong first, so whatever Dr. Du does to him is justified.
As long as Chief Li can fully recover, Xiao Zhou feels he can do whatever he wants.
Seeing how much she had scared Xiao Zhou, Du Ruoxia secretly chuckled.
"Don't worry, I know you're doing this for Chief Li's own good, so I don't intend to blame you, and I certainly won't tell him."
"But I need your help with a small matter in the future. If Chief Li still doesn't pay attention to his diet, you must tell me in advance. We can't let him do whatever he wants, you understand?"
Du Ruoxia said seriously, and Xiao Zhou quickly nodded.
"Dr. Du, I understand. Thank you so much for this. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."
"good."
Du Ruoxia readily agreed without saying anything.
Du Ruoxia took a few steps forward and found that Xiao Zhou was still following behind her.
"Now that everything has been discussed openly, don't you need to go back and report?"
“Dr. Du is pregnant now, and it’s really not safe for her to walk home. I said I would take you to your doorstep, and I will.”
Xiao Zhou was very stubborn. No matter how much Du Ruoxia refused, he insisted on taking her to her doorstep.
Du Ruoxia pushed open the gate to her yard, and Xiao Hei excitedly came to greet her upon hearing the noise.
Xiao Zhou watched her enter the room before he felt relieved and walked back.
The next day, Du Ruoxia underwent a major operation. She thought it would be quick, but she underestimated the difficulty of the operation. She didn't have a good assistant, and in addition, she was pregnant and her physical strength was not up to par.
Yang Zeyan returned from the army and was about to cook when he found the house empty.
His wife went out heavily pregnant, and he suddenly felt a little irritated; he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Yang Zeyan didn't even want to cook anymore, and just sat in his chair in a daze.
Around 8 p.m., the phone at home suddenly rang.
Yang Zeyan snapped out of his daze.
He stood up, strode over to the phone, and picked up the receiver.
"Hello, this is Yang Zeyan. May I ask who you are?"
