When Jin Mei heard her question, she sat down on a chair and introduced happily:

"You smell it, isn't it? This is the latest model of Friendship brand vanishing cream, with the scent of jasmine. It's new stock that just arrived at the department store, and it's very hard to get it."

"This one was reserved for me by the salesperson. It was sold out two days ago when it arrived. Many people lined up with money but couldn't buy one."

"I'll tell you a secret. After I applied this, my husband has been following me around for the past two days."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth with his hands and smiled ambiguously, and winked at her.

"I'll have someone save a box for you next time the goods arrive, okay?"

Luo Qianyu really didn't expect that in this period of material scarcity, a box of vanishing cream could also be used as a basic erotic perfume.

His thoughts turned to Lu Jiuchuan. Could it be that the former soldier, a man of steel, couldn't withstand the temptation of vanishing cream?

That's impossible, right? Most likely, they still use vanishing cream...

"Qian Yu? What are you daydreaming about? If you don't drink it now, the brown sugar water will get cold."

"What's there to think about with vanishing cream? I'll give you one to try, as a return gift for the things your lover bought me today."

Luo Qianyu withdrew his thoughts from Jinmei's call and continued chatting with her.

It was not until Lu Jiuchuan came back that Jin Mei took them to the collective ward and left.

However, upon entering the ward, Luo Qianyu discovered something was wrong again.

The surgical ward was a mixed-gender ward. There were six beds in the newly moved ward. In addition to her and a man with a scar on his face, there was also Sun Jiabao.

She and Lu Jiuchuan looked at each other and saw disgust in each other's eyes.

"I'll find someone to change the ward."

Lu Jiuchuan helped her to sit on the bed near the door and turned around to leave.

Sun Jiabao put one hand on his neck and gave them a malicious smile:

"Comrade Lu, are you blaming me for not speaking up for you this morning, or do you just not want to see me?"

"The hospital wards are full. This is the only room with space. It would be a waste of time if you went there."

"Don't worry, I just come here to lie down occasionally. I don't stay here at night."

The scarred man opened his eyes, a sinister look swept over them, and then closed them again.

Luo Qianyu felt uncomfortable when he saw Sun Jiabao, but he felt annoyed again when he thought about having to pass by Chen Aixiang to change wards.

"Lu Jiuchuan, put your things down, let's go out and get some fresh air."

Lu Jiuchuan nodded and put the washbasin and other messy things into place. Sun Jiabao, who was not far away, kept staring at him.

The feeling of having a thorn in the back was not pleasant, so he quickly put it away and ran out of the ward:

"I'll go see if there's an empty wheelchair."

As he left, Sun Jiabao came to Luo Qianyu and said in a low voice:

"The conditions I offered you before were so good, but you didn't want them. Now I want to play with you slowly. I have plenty of time anyway."

Luo Qianyu really wanted to pick up a chair and smash him on the head, but he had no money and no power, so he could only suppress his anger temporarily and ignored him.

She couldn't think of a good way to deal with this disgusting loach for a while.

Fortunately, Lu Jiuchuan quickly came back pushing an old-fashioned wheelchair and took her away.

"Lu Jiuchuan, let's go ask the doctor if we can go home first and come back after the stitches are removed? I don't want to stay in this hospital for even a day."

"Okay." Lu Jiuchuan pushed her towards the clinic, "But the result depends on the doctor."

The two chatted casually while queuing outside the trauma clinic.

At this time, a woman in her twenties walked out of the clinic, and her face lit up when she saw Lu Jiuchuan.

"Comrade Lu Jiuchuan, what a coincidence, I meet you again."

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Lu Jiuchuan responded indifferently.

The woman seemed not to care about his indifference and continued speaking:

"It's been so long since we last met, and you helped me today. How about I treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant?"

"No thanks." Lu Jiuchuan refused bluntly, but then asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"No, the doctor said it was just a minor scrape and prescribed some disinfectant."

Luo Qianyu looked at the woman in front of him. She was tall, wearing a white top, a dark blue knee-length skirt, and two thick long pigtails. She exuded a literary and artistic air.

Her looks and temperament make her a perfect representative of the white moonlight in the 1970s and 1980s.

The pair of phoenix eyes were still stuck on Lu Jiuchuan and couldn't be peeled off.

It would be strange if there was no story. The owner of the fragrance must be this person, right?

She deliberately coughed twice.

The woman noticed her and her face turned even redder:

"Hello, comrade. My name is Lin Yue. You are Comrade Lu Jiuchuan's sister, right?"

"Where are you injured? Or..."

Lu Jiuchuan interrupted Lin Yue and corrected:

"This is my beloved Comrade Luo Qianyu, who is injured and in the hospital."

Luo Qianyu was a little surprised by Lu Jiuchuan's straightforwardness and looked up at him.

Lin Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed:

"Lover? Are you married?"

Her smile froze and the blush on her face faded like the tide.

"Didn't the last reply I received before I changed my job say that I shouldn't consider marriage for the time being?"

Luo Qianyu looked at Lin Yue's complete sense of devastation and raised his eyebrows.

She has a very quick mind and her analytical ability is comparable to that of Sherlock Holmes. The two of them must have known each other in the army and may have been exchanging letters not long ago. They must have a very close relationship.

Lin Yue didn't wait for Lu Jiuchuan to speak, and immediately forced a smile to make amends:

"I'm sorry, I felt a little

Accident."

"Hello, Comrade Luo Qianyu, congratulations."

Luo Qianyu gave a decent smile:

"Thank you! Hello, Comrade Lin Yue."

Lu Jiuchuan himself suddenly answered Lin Yue's question:

"I didn't consider it at that time. I decided it recently. We just got married not long ago."

Lin Yue nodded, made an excuse and left, even her steps seemed a little flustered.

After she left, Lu Jiuchuan continued to queue with Luo Qianyu for examination as if nothing had happened.

Luo Qianyu would steal a glance at him from time to time, and finally imagined a big drama in his mind.

Judging from how sad Lin Yue was, it was probably because Lu Jiuchuan neither refused nor promised, and even told Lin Yue that he had no plans to get married, leaving her with hope.

Humph! Scumbag.

The more Luo Qianyu thought about it, the more headache she had. This scumbag is now her husband.

It was so hasty. We were so hasty in getting the certificate!

Why don't you leave early?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she shook her head and dismissed it. She couldn't go back to Luo Dashan's broken home, and now that she was divorced, she had nowhere to go.

You still have to find a way to make money as soon as possible. Only with money can you have the confidence to leave at any time.

She was lost in thought. After the examination, the doctor gave her good news:

"You'll have another injection tomorrow, and you can take some medicine the day after tomorrow. You can come back to have the stitches removed in ten days."

Lu Jiuchuan thanked the doctor and pushed her directly to the edge of the small flower pond in the open space:

"Do you have something to ask me? About Lin Yue."

Luo Qianyu raised his eyebrows:

"How do you know?"

"From the time Lin Yue left until you checked me, you looked at me a total of nineteen times."

So many?

Luo Qianyu was shocked himself, and his toes in his shoes curled up, feeling embarrassed as if he had been caught.

Then she thought that the other person was already getting close to her face and she couldn't be timid.

"Well, I'm a little curious. You two seem to know each other very well. If you're willing to talk, I can listen slowly. Anyway, I don't want to go back to the ward."

Lu Jiuchuan sat down by the flower pond, his two long legs changed positions twice with a bit of discomfort, and then he slowly said:

"Not that familiar. Lin Yue used to be in the cultural troupe. Once she came to our place for a consolation performance and injured her foot. I was the one who took her to the infirmary."

"We were stationed at the seaside, and she later wrote to me, saying that she liked collecting shells and asked me to send her any nice ones I found."

"She sent me a lot of letters, and I only replied to two of them. We met once later when I came to express my condolences."

Luo Qianyu curled her lips, her tone was a little sour that she herself didn't even notice:

"The woman has shown her affection so obviously. She must have talked to you about marriage, right? How can you answer her?"

Lu Jiuchuan pursed his lips, as if recalling something, and said after a while:

"The first letter told her that I was very busy and didn't have time to help her find shells. If she needed it, I could introduce her to someone who had the same hobby as her."

"The second letter was a reply to her previous letters. She said her family was urging her to change her career and get married. She asked me what to do and whether I had thought about marriage."

"I replied to her that I had never thought about marriage, and as for her affairs, I couldn't give any advice."

This sounds okay, and it doesn't seem like a deliberate suspense.

Luo Qianyu felt better, but still couldn't help but said sourly:

"Lin Yue is so pretty, and it seems like she's very passionate about you and likes you very much, and you treat her like this?"

Lu Jiuchuan turned around and looked at her, his deep eyes filled with the sunset:

"At that time, I really didn't think about marriage."

She looked into those brilliant eyes, stunned for a moment, then shook her head and asked him indirectly about the smell of the vanishing cream on his body:

"Then she said you helped her today, what's going on?"
