"Okay, just a little bit!"
Although I'm not entirely satisfied, it's better than nothing.
Bi Qiaoan bit into the grilled fish and shrimp with a hint of venting, and found that they tasted especially fresh with just a little salt.
Thinking back to the crucian carp soup I had before, I really feel like crying.
"Wife, come on, have some vegetables!" Shen Yanming knew he had angered Bi Qiaoan a bit today, so he quickly put the eggplant he had just grilled into her bowl.
Looking at the dark, gooey lump, Bi Qiaoan quickly asked, "What's this?"
"Eggplant, I brushed sauce on it, didn't you see?"
Bi Qiaoan gave a guilty "Oh!" without daring to mention that she had bitten the fish and shrimp, mistaking them for Shen Yanming, just to vent her anger.
Shen Yanming smiled slightly, but didn't expose her little scheme.
After dinner, the two simply put the leftover food in the refrigerator and washed the skewers. As for the barbecue grill and charcoal, they left them where they were.
Shen Yanming placed the powder and makeup brush on the coffee table, hugged Bi Qiaoan and said, "Today you're going to apply the medicine to me, make me look as ugly as you want."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled, wrapped her arms around Shen Yanming's neck, and laughed, "You're really shameless!"
"Yeah, want a wife, but have no shame!" Shen Yanming also joked about himself.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, ultimately realizing she wasn't that heartless. Following her memory, she applied a few drops of her hand to the spot where Shen Yanming had first developed a boil, then put her things away and left it there.
Shen Yanming watched her retreating figure and smiled faintly.
That's just how my wife is; no matter how much she yells, she's incredibly soft-hearted.
Looking at the time, it was 9:30. Shen Yanming called out and then strolled to the storage area, exiting the space.
I wasn't in a hurry; I waited until it was completely dark outside before putting on my mask and going out.
I saw many people walking towards the office building along the way. It seems that all departments have a lot of things to do at the beginning of the month.
I didn't run into any acquaintances until I reached the entrance of the office building, where I finally encountered a few familiar faces.
Upon seeing Shen Yanming, Miao Yifeng exclaimed with delight, "Old Shen, long time no see! Why are you wearing a mask?"
Shen Yanming chuckled and hugged the other person before saying, "The pustules on your face look a bit scary, cover them up."
"Cough, no matter how bad the pustules on your faces are, can they be as bad as the ones on mine?" Miao Yifeng scoffed, completely unconvinced.
Shen Yanming didn't argue with him, but smiled and nodded, "You'll know when we get to the office."
"Alright, alright, let's go!" Miao Yifeng took Shen Yanming's arm and walked towards the office.
When the two of them arrived, Guo Tingshuo and several of his colleagues were already there.
Miao Yifeng glanced at them and felt that the outlines of the people opposite him were quite familiar, but they all had a lot of pustules on their faces and were no longer as handsome as before.
“I thought I was the only one who was completely ruined, but it turns out you’re all pretty much the same,” Miao Yifeng said with a smile.
It's been a while since we've seen each other, and we've missed them quite a bit. No one minded his teasing; pointing to his arm, they said, "Hey, has that boil on your arm healed?"
Miao Yifeng spat, "You always know how to stab me in the heart! I regret it now. How could I be so reckless, daring to poke at my sore spot when I knew nothing!"
"So what did you do after that?"
"What can you do but keep poking it? Prick it with a needle before it bursts open. Use a tissue to absorb the pus so it won't infect other parts of your skin."
"So everyone's the same way. I do it the same way, but often it breaks before I can even get started. As a result, my face is getting uglier and uglier."
"Relax, relax, scientists will always find a cure. As long as we can control the impetigo, restoring our appearance will be a piece of cake, right? I remember last year, the scar removal cream we used on HZ virus survivors was incredibly effective."
"I heard it's hard to buy, do you have a way?"
"No, but the boss probably wouldn't just ignore a bunch of us with pockmarked faces, would he?"
As they talked, they all looked at Guo Tingshuo. After all, in this office, only Captain Guo had connections with the medical team.
Guo Tingshuo raised an eyebrow and looked through their gazes at Shen Yanming with a half-smile.
Comrade Shen felt a chill run down his spine, but still nodded almost imperceptibly.
Guo Tingshuo smiled even more broadly, looking at the group of expectant eyes and promising, "Don't worry, as long as there's medicine to cure impetigo, leave the scar removal to me. I guarantee I'll make sure you all recover and become handsome young men again, and it won't stop you from finding a partner!"
"Speaking of finding a partner, I remember the day I was on vacation. I heard that a girl was timid and was scared unconscious by a guard with a pus-filled face."
"Ah, I know, you're talking about Xiang Yichang and Fan Yueyue, right? I heard they're together."
"Really? Wasn't Fan Yueyue quite resistant to Xiang Yichang?"
"Actually, she wasn't against Xiang Yichang; she hated herself for getting abscesses because of him."
She had been staying home all day and hadn't shown any symptoms. But Xiang Yichang came back from outside completely unaware of anything, not even noticing the pustules on his face. He took the unconscious Fan Yueyue to the hospital for a checkup, which is how he ended up harming her.
Fan Yueyue's family only agreed to the marriage after seeing that the young man hadn't done it intentionally, and that he had tolerated her beatings and scoldings while granting her every request.
"What about Fan Yueyue?"
"Hehe, even the fiercest woman can be won over by persistent suitors. Since her face is ruined anyway, and the other party is gentle, generous, and doesn't mind, of course she'll marry him."
"What a lucky girl! Why haven't I met one like her? I'm still single at this age."
"It's alright, it will happen sooner or later. I heard that Fan Yueyue is quite lazy; she doesn't do any work and is entirely supported by her family. Just think about it, if it were you, could you handle the kindness of such a beautiful woman?"
"That won't do. I don't raise freeloaders in my family."
"Pah! She's your wife, bearing your children and earning money to support the family. How can you be so heartless?"
"But we can't just do nothing!"
"Aren't you all bored? This is a young couple's private matter, why are you all discussing it here? And what should I do if I have a boyfriend like that? With Fan Yueyue's looks, would she even be interested in you bunch of scumbags?"
"Hey Lao Gu, don't be so pessimistic about yourself. Even if Fan Yueyue were as beautiful as an angel, she still ended up with that scumbag Xiang Yichang, didn't she?"
"Don't take offense at my harsh words, but before Xiang Yichang got his abscess, he was a well-known handsome man in the Third Team. With his original appearance, let alone Fan Yueyue, even ten or eight women would probably fall at his feet."
"Is it really that exaggerated? No matter how handsome Xiang Yichang is, can he compare to Yan Mingjun in our office?"
"Oh, by the way, where's Yanming?"
