Yu Yao thought she had misheard. Did Lu Ze just say he was jealous?
Is it the vinegar she understands?
Lu Ze unlocked the handcuffs and casually put them into the bedside table drawer. He turned to look at Yu Yao, and as if he could see what she was thinking, he suddenly moved closer to her.
"What are you going to do..." Yu Yao raised her head slightly, her voice abruptly stopping.
What catches the eye is Lu Ze's slightly open collar.
Normally, the top two buttons of his military uniform are fastened, but because of running, they've come undone, revealing his sexy Adam's apple and well-defined collarbones.
There was a small black mole on her collarbone, which was charming and sexy.
“You have leaves on your head.” A deep, magnetic voice came from above.
His sexy Adam's apple slid as he spoke, damnably alluring.
Yu Yao swallowed hard, feeling her face burning up.
Seeing the blush on her fair cheeks, Lu Ze's eyes flashed with a smile, but he casually showed the leaf in his hand to Yu Yao.
He casually tossed the leaf aside and deliberately asked, "What were you looking at just now?"
His question brought back the scene from earlier to her mind.
A prominent Adam's apple, a sexy collarbone at the neckline damp with rain, and a tiny, delicate mole.
Yu Yao replied subconsciously, "I didn't see anything, it's just that you have a mole on your collarbone."
"mole?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Ze's phoenix eyes.
Since that's already been said, Yu Yao could only bite the bullet and explain, "Yes, it's a mole. It's the first time I've ever seen a mole in the collarbone hollow. I'm a little curious."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yao noticed that Lu Ze had grabbed her hand and was reaching towards his collar.
"Is the mole you're referring to here, or here?"
Lu Ze's voice was deep, and as he spoke, his dark eyes looked into Yu Yao's eyes.
Yu Yao's eyes widened.
The warm, slightly damp skin beneath her fingers, the muscular muscles, and the deep, clearly defined lines of her collarbone all spoke volumes to her.
This is not a dream!
Realizing this, Yu Yao's face flushed red, and she tried to pull her hand back, saying, "What are you doing? Let go!"
Yu Yao struggled twice, but couldn't break free.
Lu Ze grasped her hand. "You still haven't told me where the mole is?"
Yu Yao blushed and quickly pointed to a spot on Lu Ze's collarbone. "It's here. You can relax now."
Lu Ze touched the spot Yu Yao had just pointed to with his long, slender fingers, his face serious. "So it was here. I know. I'll go boil some water. You change your clothes first."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
Yu Yao lay on the bed, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
She was certain that Lu Ze did it on purpose.
Is he trying to seduce her?
Ahhh!
Yu Yao cupped her burning face in her hands, buried her head in the blanket covering the 38th parallel line, and her heart pounded wildly.
I deeply regret it.
Yes, I regret it.
I still suffered from my lack of experience. How could I have missed such a good opportunity? I should have tried one more time; I didn't even feel anything then.
I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future.
Could it be that Lu Ze already knew she was lusting after his body? Does his doing this mean he actually has feelings for her?
Is there really no way to treat his injury?
The book doesn't explain why Lu Ze is incompetent—whether it's the result or the process.
Yu Yao thought of the medicinal wine that Hu Lingyu had sent.
Want to give it a try?
I've heard that some people who get injured suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, which is a psychological problem. Psychotherapy wasn't well-developed in the 1970s, so perhaps there were solutions.
Thinking this, Yu Yao couldn't help but sneeze and sniffle.
I can't think about it anymore, I need to change into dry clothes first.
The storm came and went quickly. An hour later, the rain stopped and the sky was clear and blue, as if the previous dark clouds had been just a dream.
In the main room, Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou rushed over.
Seeing Lu Ze anxiously ask, "Lu Ze, how is Yu Yao? Is she hurt? Has Xu Ruoling been arrested?"
Lu Ze comforted the two of them: "Yu Yao is fine. Xu Ruoling was also arrested. Her clothes got wet during the storm, and she's taking a shower now."
Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Yu Yao came out after changing her clothes.
"Mom and Dad, how did you manage to get through such heavy rain?"
Wu Wanying pulled her over and looked her up and down. After confirming that she was indeed not injured, she felt much more at ease.
Cui Zhizhou said, "I heard what happened from your mother. It was too dangerous. You must not do it again next time. Your mother and I went through a lot of trouble to find you. We would rather get hurt and suffer ourselves than see you in any danger."
Although they verbally blamed Yu Yao, their words were actually full of concern for her.
Not long after Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou arrived, Sister-in-law Yu Feng and Sister-in-law Sun heard about Xu Ruoling's situation and came to visit her with some gifts.
After learning that she was alright, we sat and chatted for a while, but I had to go home because I had other things to do.
Not long after the two left, Zhu Xiudan, the women's director, also arrived.
"Sister Dan, what brings you here?"
Zhu Xiudan placed the banana she was holding on the table. "I came to see you. I also wanted to chat with you. How are you feeling? Are you still feeling weak?"
Yu Yao moved her legs and said with a smile, "I rested for a while and I feel much better. I'm sorry to have worried you, Sister Dan."
"That's good. These bananas were just picked before the storm, which will help with recovery after exhaustion. My husband used to eat bananas when he was exhausted after training, and it worked quite well."
Yu Yao thanked Sister Dan.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Xiudan finally revealed the main purpose of her visit.
"There's another matter this time, which Lao Zheng asked me to inquire about: the fact that Zhou Yuju is Xu Ruoling's contact. The military only discovered this not long ago. How did you know?"
This matter is not about suspecting Yu Yao, but rather a necessary procedure for the military's inquiry. Zhu Xiudan was brought along to avoid any misunderstandings.
Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou were also very curious. "Zhou Yuju's family doesn't seem any different from the other families. If there's really a problem, it's her cousin's family."
Yu Yao explained with a smile, "That's where the problem lies. Actually, I didn't know Zhou Yuju was a spy at first. It was Xu Ruoling who gave herself away."
Zhu Xiudan exclaimed in surprise, "I thought what you said to Xu Ruoling before was just to annoy her, but I didn't expect that she was the one who gave herself away."
"Please wait for me a moment."
Yu Yao came out of the bedroom not long after entering, and placed the things she was carrying on the octagonal table.
“I planted an iron fence at the corner of the right-hand wall. It was made from a thorn that fell from Xu Ruoling’s body. This iron fence is the only one in my yard in the entire old residential compound.”
Before the storm, Lu Ze and his team had just searched the house. If Xu Ruoling was hiding inside, she would definitely have been discovered.
In other words, she hid in the house later, or rather, she climbed over the wall from next door.
There were patrols everywhere outside the residential compound, so there was no way she could enter the compound without being noticed unless she had been hiding there all along.
