After bringing the person over, Song Yiming, fearing that the regimental commander would hold him accountable, didn't even go inside and slipped away immediately.
Yu Yao pushed open the door to the ward and went in.
There were six cots in the large ward.
Except for two empty beds, the other beds were occupied by three groups of wounded soldiers.
A young soldier recognized Yu Yao and wanted to get up to greet her.
Yu Yao shook her head at him, pointed at Lu Ze, and made a "shh" gesture.
The other soldiers immediately understood and stopped talking, instead sitting on their beds waiting to see their commander make a fool of himself.
They all heard the regimental commander telling Company Commander Song what he had just said.
Now look what's happened, my sister-in-law has come to my door in person. Let's see how the regimental commander explains this.
Lu Ze had his back to Yu Yao and was applying medicine to himself.
The young nurse who had been standing to the side was extremely nervous. "Commander Lu, let me change your dressing. Your hand is injured and you can't move it. If you move it, the wound will bleed."
Lu Ze's voice was indifferent, as always, cold and aloof, "No need, I can do it myself."
The tall, thin soldier at the very back suddenly cried out in pain, distracting the nurse.
"Nurse, it seems like my wound has reopened. Could you take a look?"
The young nurse glanced at Lu Ze, who was insisting on keeping her away from him, sighed, and replied, "I'll be right there."
Lu Ze's injury was in his left shoulder and left scapula. As soon as disinfectant was poured on it, the surrounding muscles tightened.
Although he didn't cry out in pain, Yu Yao knew he must be in a lot of pain.
I was initially very angry, but seeing him like this, I couldn't stay angry anymore.
However, it's impossible for her to forgive him so easily for hiding his injury.
Lu Ze stretched out his right hand to apply medicine to the wound on his shoulder, but couldn't reach the back.
Yu Yao walked over, picked up the powder from the cart, and applied it to the wound with a cotton swab.
Lu Ze dodged to the side, his sharp and cold eyes looking behind him.
Upon seeing Yu Yao, he froze, and awkwardly stammered, "You... how did you get here?"
Yu Yao didn't say anything, but coldly took a cotton swab and applied it to his wound.
"Are you... angry?" Lu Ze touched his nose and asked tentatively.
Yu Yao forced a smile, "No, how could I? How could I dare to be angry with Commander Lu?"
He was definitely angry.
Although Lu Ze didn't know where the news had leaked, he had already guessed why she was angry.
He spoke gently, trying to explain, "It's just a minor injury. I didn't mean to hide it from you; I just didn't want you to worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Lu, who never complained of pain, let out a muffled groan, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"It's just a minor injury, don't cry out in pain."
Yu Yao was blunt in her words, but she softened her movements when applying the medicine, asking stiffly, "Is this too strong?"
Lu Ze frowned slightly. "It's not heavy, it's just right."
Although he said it wasn't serious, Yu Yao still applied the medicine to him with even gentler and slower movements.
Lu Ze realized he was wrong and immediately apologized: "Yu Yao, Comrade Yu, it was my fault. You have every right to be angry."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have kept it from you, Ayao, please forgive me."
The young soldiers standing nearby, along with the young nurse who had tried to apply medicine to him earlier, all stared wide-eyed.
Commander Lu... is he being coquettish?!
Is this still the same stern-faced Yama who always has a cold expression and exudes a sense of oppression?
How did he transform from a man-eating tiger into a docile kitten in front of his sister-in-law?
Oh my, the voice I used to speak to my sister-in-law was so gentle it was almost sweet, completely unlike the cold and stern tone I usually have when I scold them.
The young soldiers looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This is something I've never seen before! They'll have something to brag about to their dorm buddies for ages to see this.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Ze continued to apologize: "Ayao, please forgive me this time. I promise I won't do it again next time."
Yu Yao stopped. "Do you really know you were wrong?"
Lu Ze hummed in agreement.
There were other people around, but Yu Yao didn't make things difficult for him. "This is the first time, so I'll forgive you. We're husband and wife, and I hope we can be honest with each other. I don't like being kept in the dark. I don't like this kind of 'goodness'."
"Next time something happens, I'll definitely tell you right away."
Yu Yao smiled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed as everyone else looked at them. "Alright, there are still people around. Let's put this behind us."
Lu Ze smiled slightly, his gaze towards Yu Yao incredibly tender.
Yu Yao, I'm not good at arguing, and I don't know how to get along with women. Thank you for being so understanding. I will try my best to learn how to be a good husband.
Lu Ze made a promise to Yu Yao in his heart that for the rest of his life, he would keep his promise, cherish her, love her, and respect her without exception.
Yu Yao's gaze fell on Lu Ze's wound.
The wounds looked like they were cut by shards of glass; the pitted wounds were still oozing blood, and some of the wounds were long and thin, requiring stitches, so you could see the flesh inside.
Does it hurt?
"It doesn't hurt."
Just looking at it makes me feel pain, how could applying medicine not hurt?
Apart from that one moment, Lu Ze didn't even flinch, acting like an emotionless robot.
Yu Yao knew that he wasn't immune to pain; he was just used to getting hurt.
She looked around and saw that Lu Ze's back was covered with scars of all sizes, and there wasn't much unscathed skin.
Some wounds had just scabbed over, while others had already healed, leaving white streaks on the wheat-colored skin.
