For three days and three nights, Xu Manzhi stayed by the bedside.
When she was tired, she would snuggle up to Yan Lin; when she was awake, she would clean up the fluid seeping from his wound. She took meticulous care of him like this, and Yan Ci refused to take over for anyone who asked.
Dai Chunying, Zou Xiaozhou, Qian Lei, and others witnessed everything, watching Xu Manzhi go from being energetic and radiant to looking haggard with dark circles under her eyes three days later, and they were all completely convinced.
It has to be said that Xu Manzhi truly cares about Yan Lin.
It's obvious to all.
Even Qian Lei secretly felt envious.
He came from humble beginnings, rising from village beauty to class beauty, and then to army beauty. Of all the girls he'd met, Ye Yunzhu was a wealthy heiress he dared not aspire to, and there was only Ye Qiqi...
Women were merely stepping stones on his path forward.
Men, during their hibernation period, should naturally lower their heads. When choosing a woman, they should also consider cost-effectiveness. The best option is someone who can help them in their career, and the next best option is a virtuous wife and loving mother who is good at taking care of both the home and the outside world.
To say that a man who has nothing and only lusts after a woman's beauty is a failure is hardly commendable.
When he rises to prominence, he can choose any young and beautiful woman he wants. Even if he has a wife at home and mistresses on the side, as long as he has power and influence, society will tolerate it, and women will rush to throw themselves into his arms.
The news that Yan Lin had married a stunningly beautiful wife had already spread throughout the army.
He didn't really care.
Stunning beauty... Maybe Yan Lin is just boasting because he's ugly. He might not even be as beautiful as Ye Qiqi.
But when he first met Xu Manzhi a few days ago, he truly realized what it meant to be "exquisitely beautiful".
It turns out he had a superficial understanding of the word "absolute".
Xu Manzhi is truly a great beauty.
She was several levels above Ye Yunzhu and Ye Qiqi. She had a detached gaze, but when it fell on Yan Lin, she exuded charm. Women would gasp in amazement upon seeing her, while men would feel utterly inadequate...
That's absolutely amazing.
His worldview was completely overturned.
But in the blink of an eye, he began to doubt Yan Lin's choice...
A woman's beauty is a double-edged sword, but it is also a social asset. A strong and outstanding man with a beautiful woman by his side is the icing on the cake.
Yan Lin is a ruthless character.
He joined the army the same length as me, and his promotion speed surpassed mine. He fought bloody battles time and time again, but to say that he was the best of the best, he was definitely not qualified.
He actually married a beautiful wife.
The key point is that this woman doesn't mind Yan Lin's ugliness; she loves and protects him wholeheartedly and takes meticulous care of him. All these actions are something Qian Lei really can't understand.
He had never seen anything like it before.
That's unreasonable.
Women don't care about a man's looks, family background, or abilities; are they really after his looks...?
"Sister-in-law, you should rest first," Zou Xiaozhou said anxiously.
For the past three days, the 100-person team has been fighting fires along the border.
A fire set by the Jing tribesmen nearly destroyed an entire dense forest.
But after Liao Yu relayed Yan Lin's orders back, they worked together to cut down hundreds of large trees in the dense forest and dug a trench to prevent the fire from spreading into the country.
As for life and death outside the border, that's none of their business.
Even if the fire burns for three days and three nights, as long as you don't cross the line, you must... stand by and watch them die.
The Jing clan are definitely ingrates.
We can no longer afford to be soft-hearted.
They returned looking disheveled and exhausted, and Yan Lin was still unconscious.
Who isn't anxious? Who isn't worried?
Xu Manzhi slowly stood up.
She took a packet of brown sugar, made herself a cup of brown sugar water to replenish her energy, and then said to Zou Xiaozhou, "Yan Lin should wake up today."
"What?" Zou Xiaozhou looked incredulous.
Even Dai Chunying looked puzzled.
Is it even possible to predict this?
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Yan Lin called out softly, "Zhizhi, water~~"
"Ah, Brother Yan is awake, ahhhhh—" Zou Xiaozhou covered her face and looked at Xu Manzhi with eyes that were no longer as calm as before, but rather filled with the starry eyes of a little fan.
Wow, my sister-in-law is amazing!
She said it was time for Brother Yan to wake up, and Brother Yan opened his eyes the next second.
Could my sister-in-law be any more amazing?
Dai Chunying was utterly shocked.
She is also a doctor. After surgery, each patient's condition is different, but no one can predict when they will wake up or how long they will remain asleep.
Xu Manzhi's medical skills... are truly astonishing.
"Drink a little less. I've been giving you fluids these past few days, so you won't get dehydrated, you'll just have a dry mouth," Xu Manzhi said.
It must be said that getting an IV drip does have its advantages.
Forced supplementation of bodily functions.
While it's not as amazing as recycled water from the apocalypse, where one capsule can last for three days, it's already an excellent solution for the world right now.
Yan Lin took a sip of water, turned to look at Xu Manzhi, and said reproachfully, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?"
He finished speaking in one breath, then coughed incessantly.
"Don't get agitated. You're not fully recovered yet. I need to give you the final treatment, otherwise this rat poison will leave lasting damage that won't be curable later."
Xu Manzhi pressed down on his restless shoulder.
Yan Lin cared about her, worried about her, and didn't want her to risk her life in the sealed-off city.
She completely understands.
But he himself didn't know that if it weren't for the crazy upgrade of the space this time, and the unprecedented expansion of the Poison Garden, all the poisonous creatures that came out of the space were under her control, she could have commanded them step by step to rescue Yan Lin without anyone noticing. Otherwise, if the group wanted to escape danger, they would probably have had to suffer more.
Especially since one crisis had barely subsided, and now Ye Qiqi's protagonist halo had failed...
