Chapter 18 The Iron Tree of Ten Thousand Years Blooms
Gu Dongguo dislocated his left shoulder during a combat exercise two years ago, and twisted his lower back during weight training at the beach last year.
The military doctor examined him and said it wasn't a big problem, just needed some rest. He himself felt he was young and could handle it, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Just as my sister said, these areas always ache and feel sore after changes in weather or intense training.
He thought it was a normal muscle reaction after training and never explained it to anyone in detail!
His sister only took his pulse for a short while, and she figured it all out?!
Amazing!
That's amazing!
"Baby...you, you're amazing!"
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Dongguo finally managed to utter this sentence, his eyes shining brightly, looking at Gu Baobao as if she were some rare treasure.
"Grandpa Chen has taught you all his secret skills? How long have you been learning them?"
Gu Baobao withdrew her hand, and gave a knowing smile.
"It didn't take long, mainly because I'm smart and I understand things very quickly."
But in his heart he complained to Defu:
See that? That's the power of knowledge! It'll fool a blockhead like my brother in a heartbeat!
Defu: [Host is awesome! However, according to this system's analysis, your cousin does indeed have old soft tissue damage.]
For minor meridian blockages, it is recommended to use Lingquan water and basic massage techniques for treatment. (Professional.jpg)
Gu Baobao:
I understand, I understand. I'll find a chance to add some spiritual spring water to his water.
Massage...we'll see. I'm afraid if I start, he'll scream and attract the whole ward.
The brother and sister were both shocked and secretly pleased, creating a "harmonious" atmosphere.
However, on the hospital bed next to Gu Baobao, a cold-faced devil who had a strong presence since Gu Baobao entered the room was far from calm on the surface.
Lu Zhanming appeared to be silently gazing out the window, but in reality, his peripheral vision never left that light blue figure.
He watched the little girl move a stool, watched her speak softly to her brother, watched her extend her dazzlingly white little hands and gently place them on Gu Dongguo's rough, dark wrists...
At that moment, Lu Zhanming clearly felt a strange, subtle yet undeniable bittersweet feeling suddenly well up in a corner of his heart.
The sensation came abruptly and swiftly, like a tiny needle gently pricking you.
He disliked the "treatment" Gu Dongguo was currently receiving.
She didn't like those impossibly beautiful hands touching other men, even if they were her own brother.
He even absurdly entertained the idea that:
I want to throw Gu Dongguo, that silly grinning guy, as far away as possible.
Then, he sat down next to her.
Let those soft little hands rest on his wrists.
She asked about his health in that soft, sweet voice.
Look at him with that focused gaze...
The moment this thought popped into his head, it spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing his mind.
Lu Zhanming himself was surprised.
When did he... come up with such outrageous ideas?
But after the initial shock, he didn't feel ashamed or try to suppress it; instead, he felt a sense of natural composure.
He even followed this thought and imagined the scene... His ears involuntarily flushed slightly.
But he didn't care at all, his gaze becoming increasingly intense as he locked onto Gu Baobao.
His gaze was so focused it bordered on greed, carrying a strong possessiveness that even he himself was unaware of.
Like a lone wolf that has been lurking in the wilderness for a long time, finally discovering the unique treasure it has been searching for, it only wants to keep it in its own territory and not allow others to covet even a little bit of it.
Even Gu Dongguo, whose nerves are usually thicker than a submarine cable, sensed that something was wrong.
He was enjoying his sister's diagnosis with great satisfaction, and was also thinking about how to brag to his comrades when he got back, when suddenly he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He subconsciously turned his head and met Lu Tuan's unfathomable black eyes.
That look in his eyes... Gu Dongguo's heart skipped a beat.
Based on his understanding of the Army Corps, this was definitely not a friendly glance between comrades or a superior's routine concern for the family of a subordinate!
He knew that look in his eyes all too well:
On the training field, when the Lu Regiment sets its sights on a tactical target that must be captured, it is this kind of focused, sharp, determined, and even fierce light that shines through!
But now, is that light directed at his baby?!
Gu Dongguo's scalp tingled instantly, and alarm bells rang in his mind!
Good heavens! Lu Tuan, that eternally stubborn guy, once he finally saw the light, he's set his sights on his newly-born little fairy sister?!
That speed, that accuracy—it's faster and more precise than his target practice!
A strong sense of regret and lingering fear welled up in my heart.
What was wrong with him that he insisted on bringing up matchmaking with Lu Tuan?
He even described his sister as a dark-skinned, chubby girl?
Now look what happened! He was the one who brought the wolf in, and he was the one who personally delivered the cabbage to the wolf's mouth!
If his fifth uncle found out, he would probably chase him from their village all the way to the island with a hoe and tear him apart.
If his grandmother had that rolling pin, she probably could have chased him for more than ten miles, maybe even twenty!
Just as Gu Dong was frantically scrolling through the bullet comments saying "It's over, it's over, it's over,"
While pondering how to subtly separate his younger sister from the hungry wolf that had clearly set its sights on its prey,
"cough."
