Chapter 49 Chapter 49
The light coming in from the kitchen made the fine hairs on Shen Zhaoyue's cheeks clearly visible.
Wen Yanxi's Adam's apple moved slightly: "It's up to you."
Although the voice was low, it contained a subtle hint of doting.
Chen Zhaoyue suddenly smiled brightly, as if he had obtained some treasure.
She moved closer and whispered softly in his ear, "Yanxi~"
The ending tone rises, with the soft and sticky taste unique to the south.
This call was like a feather, gently brushing across Wen Yanxi's heart.
He calmly added a spoonful of water to the pot, and the steaming heat blurred his slightly red ears.
————
It was just dawn, and Chen Zhaoyue was thinking about reporting to the health center this morning. As soon as Wen Yanxi knocked on the door, she immediately opened her eyes.
Chen Zhaoyue swiftly threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed, his movements as nimble as a little rabbit.
"From now on, I can go to the army with my uncle, and I will have a companion on the road!" As they went out together, Chen Zhaoyue looked up at Wen Yanxi with a smile.
The morning light streamed in through the window, casting a soft warm light on her face, making her eyes and eyebrows look particularly vivid.
Wen Yanxi looked at her bright smile and was stunned for a moment.
This kind of companionship was an experience he had never had in his military career of more than 20 years.
"Let's go, I'm ready!" Chen Zhaoyue took out a small medicine box from the room.
Inside was a set of silver needles she took out from the space, as well as some medicinal herbs.
Unfortunately, she went to the clinic too early and had not had time to grow the herbs in her space.
"Yeah." Wen Yanxi then withdrew his gaze, his voice a little lower than usual.
Chen Zhaoyue was completely unaware of this and kept skipping behind him, humming a tuneless little tune.
The road from the family compound to the army is not far, and many soldiers along the way are rushing to the training ground.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the sound of subtle discussions reached Shen Zhaoyue's ears.
"Look, what a beautiful girl!" A young soldier couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"I have never seen such a beautiful woman!" The other soldier stared with his eyes wide open and his pace slowed down unconsciously.
Chen Zhaoyue could clearly feel the gazes coming from all directions. It seemed as if those eyes were glued to her and could not be moved away.
She took small steps closer to Wen Yanxi.
"Stop looking!" Suddenly, an old soldier lowered his voice and shouted, "Didn't you see that Captain Wen was with her?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, and all the soldiers shuddered in unison.
Only then did they notice that the person standing next to the beauty was none other than the cold-faced King of Hell, Wen Yanxi.
At this moment, he had a blank expression on his face, and his whole body exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away. His eyes were sharp enough to kill people.
The soldiers suddenly fell silent, hurriedly averted their gazes, straightened their backs and quickened their pace, for fear that Wen Yanxi would remember their appearance.
A few timid ones even ran away with their hands and feet in cahoots, as if there were wild beasts chasing them.
Chen Zhaoyue looked at this scene and couldn't help but chuckle: "Uncle, your deterrent power is really great."
Wen Yanxi said "hmm" lightly and didn't say much, but slowed down her pace to make it easier for her to walk.
When they were almost at the health center, Shen Zhaoyue suddenly stopped and said, "The health center is just ahead."
She looked up at Wen Yanxi, her eyes sparkling: "Go to training, don't be late."
Wen Yanxi lowered his eyes to look at her, frowning slightly: "Don't you need me to take you in?"
Thinking that this was Chen Zhaoyue's first time coming here, there was a hint of worry in his voice.
"No need." Chen Zhaoyue smiled and shook her head, her hair swaying gently in the morning breeze: "I'm not a child."
As she spoke, she waved her hand.
Wen Yanxi looked at her deeply and finally nodded: "Come to the training ground to find me if you have anything."
"Okay!" Shen Zhaoyue nodded readily.
Wen Yanxi was relieved and turned to leave, his back as straight as a pine tree.
Chen Zhaoyue stood there, watching his figure gradually walk away, then took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the health center.
Chen Zhaoyue looked around and found that the health center was much more spacious than she had imagined, but the corridor was empty with only a few patients waiting for treatment, making it seem particularly deserted.
She gently pushed the door open, and the wooden door hinges creaked.
A young nurse in a white coat was coming towards me. She was counting the medicine bottles on the medicine shelf with her head down. She looked up when she heard the noise.
"Hello, is the dean here?" Chen Zhaoyue asked softly, her voice as soft as the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
The young nurse was stunned and the medicine bottle in her hand almost slipped.
She had never seen such a beautiful girl.
She has porcelain-white skin, watery almond eyes, and two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
The sunlight slanted in from the window, casting a soft glow on Chen Zhaoyue's profile, making her look like a person walking out of a painting.
"The...the director is in the innermost office." The young nurse answered stutteringly, her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
She put down the medicine bottle in a hurry: "Do you want me to take you there?"
Chen Zhaoyue smiled and shook her head: "No need to trouble you, I can go up by myself."
The young nurse stood there in a daze until Shen Zhaoyue walked in. Then she suddenly came to her senses and slapped her forehead in annoyance.
She actually forgot to ask the beautiful girl why she came!
Before Shen Zhaoyue even reached the office, he met a woman about forty years old with neat short hair and sharp eyes.
"Who are you?" The woman frowned slightly and looked at Shen Zhaoyue.
This man doesn't look like he lives in the housing estate, and he wasn't injured. He suddenly came to the health center, and no one knows what happened.
"I'm here to report. My name is Chen Zhaoyue." Sensing the other party's unusual aura, Chen Zhaoyue quickly took out the approval documents from his bag and handed them over with both hands.
"Are you the new military doctor the political commissar mentioned?" The woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, her fingertips slightly calloused as she took the document.
She first carefully checked the official seal and signature, and then couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her again.
With almond eyes, cherry lips and skin so white that it looks translucent, she looks like a recent graduate.
"So young..." the woman muttered softly, flipping through the documents in her hands.
The girl in front of me has fair skin and beautiful looks. Her slender fingers show that she has never done rough work. She doesn't look like she can endure the hardship in the health center.
"Do you know any medical skills?" Gao Wen couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
Chen Zhaoyue met her gaze without being servile or overbearing: "I am good at Chinese medicine, and I also know a little about Western medicine."
Her voice was soft but firm.
Gao Wen nodded thoughtfully: "I am the dean here, Gao Wen."
She paused. Since the person was approved by the political commissar himself and the health center was indeed short of staff, she didn't say anything more.
"Welcome aboard." Gao Wen extended her hand, her eyes softening a little.
