Fu Shen deftly cleared the weeds from his own vegetable garden, then hurried over to Wang Jingyi's garden to continue his work.
After cleaning everything up, he methodically watered the vegetable garden before turning around, saying goodbye to Zhang Lanhua, and leaving.
Zhang Lanhua stared at Fu Shen in shock, only to see that he had managed to clean up the weeds in the four rows of land in a short time and even watered them carefully.
Looking down at her own field, which she hadn't even finished, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Ah, I'm really getting old."
As night fell, Fu Shen packed his luggage in his room. After finishing, he picked up a book and tucked Qin Zhizhi's letter to Su Yue inside. After making sure he hadn't forgotten anything, he turned off the light and went to sleep.
The next morning, Fu Shen arrived at the canteen early, quickly finished his breakfast, and then hurried back to his room to pick up the luggage he had packed the night before.
Just as he locked the door, Wang Renyi's comrade-in-arms, who shared a dormitory with him, ran over anxiously. "Battalion Commander Fu, Company Commander Wang's wound has become infected."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shen's brows furrowed instantly. "The wound is infected?"
It was fine yesterday, how did it get inflamed overnight?
“Yes, it seems he has a fever. We told him to go to the hospital, but he refused. He even told us to go to the military doctor and get some anti-inflammatory medicine to wipe it off. Can you try to persuade him? Company Commander Wang won’t listen to anything we say.”
Fu Shen unconsciously tightened his grip on his luggage, and said with a serious expression, "I'll go take a look now."
Upon hearing Fu Shen's reply, his comrade immediately turned and ran away quickly.
When Fu Shen arrived at Wang Renyi's dormitory, he found the door half open. He instinctively wrinkled his nose as a pungent smell hit him.
"Cough cough..."
Hearing Wang Renyi's suppressed cough, Fu Shen stretched out his finger and gently tapped the door, slowly pushing it open.
Wang Renyi's bed was the first one he saw upon entering. Seeing Fu Shen suddenly appear, he looked surprised and said weakly, "Brother Shen, what brings you here? Cough cough..."
He then coughed violently again.
Fu Shen frowned even more, his eyes sweeping across the room, and asked, "Which cup is yours?"
Wang Renyi pointed weakly at the window and said in a hoarse voice, "The one without the lid is mine."
Fu Shen put his luggage on the stool, walked quickly to the window, and found that the cup was empty.
He bent down, picked up the kettle under the table, poured out a little water, and tested the temperature with his hand. The water was no longer hot, just lukewarm.
"Here you go." Fu Shen handed the water glass to Wang Renyi.
Wang Renyi hurriedly took it, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then let out a long sigh and said, "I almost coughed to death."
Fu Shen glanced around the room and frowned slightly, saying, "Is it because the air here isn't circulating well? It smells a bit unpleasant."
He had been in the room for a while when he finally recognized the smell: a strong, lingering smell of sweat.
He used to smell this smell often when he lived in a dormitory. After he was promoted to a higher military rank and moved out, he hadn't smelled it for a long time. When he suddenly smelled it again, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Wang Renyi gripped the cup in his hand tightly. "No, it's my problem."
He lowered his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He didn't sleep a wink all night, his mind constantly turning over Qin Zhizhi.
Did she break up with her boyfriend because her parents disapproved of their relationship?
Or was she just playing around with him from the beginning and never really wanted to be with him?
As he pondered, the pain from his wound and his growing anxiety intertwined, making it even harder for him to fall asleep. He ended up standing by the window all night.
Fu Shen stared intently at him. "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Renyi looked up, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness. "I'm afraid that even if I find Qin Zhizhi, she will still insist on breaking up with me. What should I do?"
Fu Shen: "..." He didn't know the answer to this question either.
Seeing that Fu Shen remained silent, Wang Renyi asked anxiously, "Brother Shen, what would you do if your wife quarreled with you and ran back to her parents' home, ignoring you?"
