Chapter 42 Wen Yanxi: I leave my salary to you for safekeeping
Chen Zhaoyue looked down at the shoes that Wen Yanxi had put on himself.
"Really..." She muttered softly. She never expected that the seemingly dull Wen Yanxi would suddenly do such a thing.
But you have to say, this ambiguous feeling is quite addictive.
Chen Zhaoyue raised the corners of his lips slightly and walked into the room in slippers.
However, he did not enter the space directly. Instead, he pretended to rummage through the small suitcase he brought with him for a while, but in fact he quietly took out the set of family silver needles from the space.
After all, my uncle is a group leader and his hearing must be very good. It would be very strange if she was looking for something quietly in the room.
So just in case, Chen Zhaoyue took it directly from the suitcase.
She has several sets of silver needles, and this set, a family heirloom, is the most precious and will not be used easily.
When she returned to the living room, Wen Yanxi had regained his usual composure, sitting upright on the sofa, as if the gentle man who had just put on her shoes was just an illusion.
"Uncle, let me give you a few acupuncture needles first." Chen Zhaoyue smiled and shook the silver needle in his hand.
Wen Yanxi raised his eyes to look at her and the acupuncture bag in her hand, and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
He didn't even ask why the acupuncture was needed, and just agreed to it.
This unreserved trust made Chen Zhaoyue very happy, and his smile became even brighter.
"Then take off your shirt." She tried to make her voice sound professional and calm.
She only wanted to watch it a little bit, mainly for the purpose of curing her illness!
"..." Wen Yanxi looked down at himself, "Do I still need to take it off?"
It seems that his vest can't block anything, right?
"Yes." Shen Zhaoyue nodded seriously.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanxi took off his vest quickly, revealing his muscular upper body.
The muscle lines left by years of training are particularly clear under the light, and several old scars lie across the honey-colored skin, silently telling the hardships of military life.
Although he had expected it, when he really saw it, Chen Zhaoyue's eyes couldn't help but jump.
She calmed herself down and gently stroked the hideous old wound on his shoulder blade with her fingertips.
The muscles under the fingertips immediately tensed up like a fully drawn bow, causing the scar to bulge slightly.
"Well, bear with it for a moment." She took out the longest silver needle and found the acupoint: "I'm going to start from here."
The moment the silver needle penetrated, Wen Yanxi's muscles tensed up, but soon relaxed under the skillful technique.
Her technique was very good, and there was only a slight feeling like an ant bite when the silver needle was inserted.
The silver needle rotated flexibly on her fingertips, but Wen Yanxi was a little absent-minded.
She was too close, so close that he could hear her shallow breathing, so close that the occasional falling hair would brush against his arm, causing a slight itch.
The faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, like pear blossoms blooming in early spring, clear with a hint of sweetness, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
"Alright." Not long after, Chen Zhaoyue put away the needle: "I'll give you acupuncture every few days from now on. Combined with the medicinal diet, it will greatly improve your hidden disease."
As she spoke, she carefully put the silver needle into the needle bag.
After waiting for a while and getting no response from Wen Yanxi, Shen Zhaoyue looked over in confusion: "Uncle?"
"?" Wen Yanxi came back to his senses: "What did you just say?"
"I said I'd have acupuncture regularly from now on." Chen Zhaoyue seemed a little helpless, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"...Okay." Wen Yanxi paused, "I didn't think much of it."
Just now he was only focused on watching the little girl's mouth opening and closing, and had no idea what she was mumbling.
After the acupuncture, Shen Zhaoyue poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Drink some water."
Wen Yanxi took it and drank it all in one gulp.
The water tastes cool and sweet when it enters the throat, which is different from the usual taste.
But his mind was not here at the moment, and he did not care about the subtle difference, just thinking it was a psychological effect.
Wen Yanxi didn't know that Chen Zhaoyue had replaced all the water in the house with spiritual spring water.
"By the way, uncle." Seeing that he had finished drinking the water, Shen Zhaoyue asked again: "I want to find a job in the health center. Do I need any certificate?"
"You want to go to the health center?" Wen Yanxi was obviously stunned and frowned slightly.
He didn't expect Shen Zhaoyue to suddenly come up with this idea.
"Yeah." Chen Zhaoyue said calmly, "Then I have to find something to do. I can't just sit at home and do nothing all day, right?"
"You don't have to work." Wen Yanxi said, suddenly realizing that he had overlooked something.
He stood up, went to the room, took out a locked box, and placed it solemnly in Shen Zhaoyue's hand.
"What is this...?" Chen Zhaoyue looked at the box in confusion, not understanding why Wen Yanxi suddenly gave her this.
"My salary and allowances." Wen Yanxi said in a low and serious voice, "From now on, they will be under your management."
Shen Zhaoyue’s eyes widened, and the box almost dropped from his hands.
She just wanted to find a job to pass the time, how did it suddenly become about taking over financial power?
So Wen Yanxi thought that she wanted to work because she had no money?
"That's not what I meant..." She wanted to explain with a helpless smile, but was interrupted by Wen Yanxi.
"I know." He looked at her with burning eyes: "But this is my responsibility."
Although the box was not big, it was heavy, and there were several signs of wear and tear on the corners, which showed that it had been with Wen Yanxi for many years.
Chen Zhaoyue weighed the item and estimated that it probably contained all his savings over the years.
But think about it, Wen Yanxi eats and drinks in the army, the regiment commander's monthly salary is not small, and there is also an elder above him, the commander-in-chief. Wen Yanxi doesn't need much money throughout the year, so the savings in this box must be quite a lot.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled slyly, tossing the box lightly in her hand: "But the marriage report hasn't been approved yet. Isn't my uncle afraid that I'll abscond with the money?"
The ending tone rises, with a hint of playful temptation.
Wen Yanxi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.
He took a step forward, his tall figure instantly enveloping her, his slender fingers gently pressing on the lid of the box: "You can try."
There was an unquestionable certainty in his deep voice, yet it also carried a hint of indulgence, clearly showing that he had seen through her little tricks.
This sudden approach made Shen Zhaoyue's ears hot, and he almost dropped the box in his hand.
This guy is quite capable!
But how could she, a person who traveled from the future, lose?
Chen Zhaoyue suddenly moved closer, close enough to see her own reflection in Wen Yanxi's pupils, her bright eyes gleaming, "If I really run away, will my uncle come to catch me personally?"
Her warm breath deliberately brushed against his Adam's apple, and she watched the skin there roll slightly with satisfaction.
Wen Yanxi's eyes suddenly darkened, and the fingers hanging by his side unconsciously clenched.
He just wanted to hand over the financial power of the family, how could it suddenly develop into this?
Chen Zhaoyue's soft breath was so close to him, carrying a faint fragrance, which made him forget how to react for a moment.
This iron-blooded officer, who remained calm in the face of bullets and gunfire on the battlefield, was now thrown into disarray by the approach of a little girl.
Looking at his taut jawline and slightly red ears, it's quite fun to tease my uncle.
Hehehe~
But she knew when to stop, like a kitten that had stolen some fish, she returned to her original position contentedly, and even deliberately shook the cash box in her hand towards Wen Yanxi: "Then, little uncle, I'll take this money!"
His clear voice was full of pride, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with the joy of victory.
Wen Yanxi came back to his senses and looked at the little girl in front of him who was smiling like a little fox. A hint of tenderness unconsciously appeared between his cold eyebrows.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed his brow, then brought the topic back on track: "Joining the army also requires a political review."
The review process is no different from the review of the marriage report. If his marriage report can be obtained, Shen Zhaoyue can naturally go to the health center.
