The day after Li Ying returned, she took Shi Bai to the Lu family to treat Lu Qingzhu's wrist.
"Second Senior Brother?" Lu Qingzhu was both surprised and delighted to see Shi Bai.
"Lie still and don't move around. Let your second senior brother take a look at you." Shi Bai sat down, took Lu Qingzhu's pulse, and then said to Li Ying, "It's alright, there's a possibility of recovery."
"Yes, junior brother, we've found a herb that can treat sprains and bruises. I'll use it on you right away."
Shi Bai took the first-aid kit from Li Ying: "I'll do it, you guide me."
"good."
Following Li Ying's instructions, Shi Bai applied the healed ointment to Lu Qingzhu's wrist.
"I was so worried when I heard you went to Yunnan to find herbs. I told you, if you can't get the needles, you can't get them. Why risk making the trip?" Lu Qingzhu was extremely worried, afraid that something might happen to Li Ying and she wouldn't be able to explain it to her master.
I felt much more at ease after hearing that Ye Jingchi had also gone.
"I'm so happy that my second senior brother came to the capital. I wonder if he would be willing to join my research lab?" Lu Qingzhu really wanted to get anyone into her research lab.
Shi Bai shook his head: "As you know, I like freedom and don't like being constrained, otherwise I would have gone to university to teach long ago."
Lu Qingzhu understood and didn't insist.
Without disturbing Lu Qingzhu's rest, Li Ying and Shi Bai left the Lu family home.
"Yingying, you go home first. I'm going to see a friend."
Li Ying didn't think much of it and nodded: "Come back early at noon."
After Shi Bai saw Li Ying off to a distance, he raised his hand and hailed a car.
Shi Bai rushed to the unit, applied medicine to Ye Jingchi's dormitory, and handed Ye Jingchi a pill.
"This medicine will sting a lot when you apply it, you can take some painkillers."
Ye Jingchi's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth, sitting on the edge of the bed with his other hand pressing on the injury on his right hand. "No need, I can hold on."
Shi Bai saw that he was covered in sweat, which showed how painful it was to apply the medicine. However, if he didn't apply the medicine, the pain would be even more severe when the virus flared up.
"Ye Jingchi, you must not use force on this hand. The most important thing is not to cut it. Once the blood flows out, it will be too late to save it," Shi Bai warned.
Although Ye Jingchi and Li Ying are divorced, his feelings for Li Ying are enough to make saving his life worthwhile.
"Thank you, I've got it."
Shi Bai put down the painkiller: "If you really can't hold on any longer, take one."
After Shi Bai left, Ye Jingchi dared to roll onto the ground, trembling all over, his face contorted in rage.
The pain felt like needles piercing through my bone marrow, a pain that pierced my very soul.
Two hours later, the pain subsided.
Ye Jingchi tidied up, left the dormitory, and went to the playground for training.
"Ye Jingchi!"
Unfortunately, Lu Xingzhou blocked their way.
"Platoon Leader Lu!"
Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth inwardly. He was somewhat resentful about being demoted from company commander to platoon leader, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to catch up with Ye Jingchi.
"I heard you and Li Ying got divorced?"
Seeing his ambiguous smile, Ye Jingchi turned to look at Lu Xingzhou and said, "Divorce can be followed by remarriage."
Lu Xingzhou laughed: "I think Commander Ye, you have no chance."
Ye Jingchi clenched his fist. "Platoon Leader Lu, you're a married man. It's going too far for you to say such things."
“I know I’m sorry to Li Ying, but Li Ying loves me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken care of my parents in my home for three years. But you’re different. You two only had a marriage of convenience, which means Li Ying doesn’t like you at all and was just playing along.” Lu Xingzhou said smugly.
Ye Jingchi was furious. He grabbed Lu Xingzhou by the collar, his eyes cold: "Lu Xingzhou, you owe a girl who took care of your parents for three years, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
Lu Xingzhou was not afraid at all: "Commander Ye, I promise that I was blinded by greed, but I will divorce Rong Ning and seek Li Ying's forgiveness. I believe that with the feelings between us, as long as I bow my head and apologize to her, Li Ying will definitely forgive me."
Ye Jingchi really didn't know where he got the confidence to think that Li Ying would forgive him, a scumbag who was two-timing her.
"This is the first time I've heard of Lu Xingzhou. You're so shameless."
"We're both ex-husbands, but I think I have a better chance than you. Ye Jingchi, if you're not convinced, how about we have a contest?"
Lu Xingzhou was determined to make Ye Jingchi unhappy today.
Ye Jingchi heard Shi Bai's words of advice.
He can't use his arm to exert force, but he still needs to use force to fire a gun.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to compete with you today."
"Is Commander Ye afraid?" Lu Xingzhou provocatively asked. "I heard Commander Ye is ill, but I don't know what illness he has that makes him afraid to even compete with me?"
Ye Jingchi was surprised. How did Lu Xingzhou know that he was sick?
Not wanting him to notice anything amiss, Ye Jingchi turned to Lu Xingzhou: "Fine, I'll compete with you! The loser must stay far away from Li Ying and never bother her again!"
"That would only be if Commander Ye could outperform me!"
Ye Jingchi frowned. This guy insisted on challenging him to a match today, clearly confident of victory. It seemed he knew his arm was injured.
"Let's go, Platoon Leader Lu!"
The two walked towards the playground.
When everyone heard that the regimental commander was going to have a competition with Platoon Leader Lu, they all rushed to the parade ground to watch.
"Platoon Leader Lu, you tell me, shall we compete with pistols or rifles?"
“Since we’re having a competition, let’s use rifles.” Lu Xingzhou glanced at Ye Jingchi’s right arm.
The rifle is quite heavy, and you need to have a strong arm to pull the trigger when firing it.
Unmodified rifles have heavy recoil, and the impact of the recoil is also great when fired, which can only aggravate the wounds of the injured.
Ye Jingchi's expression remained unchanged: "Alright, let's have a rifle match, one round to decide the winner."
Ye Jingchi shouted for the soldiers to bring up their guns.
Two Type 56 semi-automatic rifles were brought out. These rifles are very powerful and suitable for long-range precision shooting. They are usually used in live-fire exercises and infantry drills.
Ye Jingchi took a gun from the pile, cocked it, and prepared.
"Platoon Leader Lu, I'll go first!"
Ye Jingchi didn't want to argue with him. He wanted to finish the job quickly. He aimed at the target and fired several shots. At a range of 400 meters, every shot hit the bullseye.
"Commander, you're awesome!"
A round of applause rang out on the playground.
Lu Xingzhou's eyes darkened as he glanced at Ye Jingchi, knowing that he was no match for such a result. However, the other party had said that as long as Ye Jingchi used his injury, they could test how serious his arm injury was.
"Commander Ye, I concede." After saying this, Lu Xingzhou smiled slyly and turned to leave.
Ye Jingchi put down his gun and raised his hand to call over the bodyguard beside him.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Lu Xingzhou!"
"yes!"
Ye Jingchi suddenly felt his arm become very heavy, as if his entire arm was about to fall off. He couldn't show anything unusual, so he turned around and strode towards the division commander's office.
Early in the morning, Li Ying sneezed several times. When she saw the winter clothes on the table, she had a sudden thought.
Who sent this?
