Chapter 48: Have you met Xie Zheng?

Chapter 48: Have you met Xie Zheng?

After hearing Ye Tiandong recount what had happened at the Bai family, Bai Zhi scoffed at Bai Weiwei's behavior.

You've lived a whole life, why are you still so naive?

Indeed, Bai Weiwei's personality is inherently arrogant and conceited. Now, relying on her memories from her past life, she will treat everyone as a fool.

Bai Zhi glanced at her watch; it was almost eleven o'clock. She said to Ye Tiandong...

"Uncle, it's 11:30. I have to go treat someone. Are you going back to Bincheng now?"

Ye Tiandong asked, "Whom do you treat?"

“One patient needs moxibustion,” Bai Zhi replied casually, without revealing any further information.

Ye Tiandong asked her again,

"I heard you had a marriage agreement in the South City. Did you marry your fiancé after you arrived in the South City? What's the current situation?"

"Yes, it was an arranged marriage by my grandfather. The man's surname is Lu. I'm currently living at the Lu family's house, but we're not married yet."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong continued to probe for information, "So, do you have a chance with that guy? Have you taken a liking to him?"

If his niece doesn't like the man, then as her elder, he should arrange for her to break off the engagement.

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I don't know yet, I haven't officially met him."

She didn't mention Lu Ye's injury.

"You're just a little girl, all alone and weak, so they definitely won't take you seriously."

When Ye Tiandong heard Bai Zhi say that she hadn't met her fiancé yet, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"Okay, take me to the Lu family later, and I'll meet their family and see how things are going."

“If they’re not happy with the marriage and the fiancé won’t come out to meet you, then just call it quits. Come back to Bincheng with me, and I’ll find you a handsome and outstanding young man.”

With parents stepping in to help her and arranging a meeting with the man's parents, Bai Zhi felt especially warm inside.

She nodded obediently, "Okay."

She said to Ye Tiandong, "Uncle, I think you must be exhausted these past two days. Why don't you find a hotel to stay in and rest for a while? We'll go to the Lu family together after I get off work this afternoon."

"Okay, I really am tired."

In that remote and impoverished place, transportation relied mainly on walking and communication on shouting. His long journey was truly exhausting.

However, he didn't feel any hardship along the way.

More than anything, I feel sad.

That's where his sister and niece used to live.

They are the ones who suffer the most.

Ye Tiandong went to the hotel, while Bai Zhi took her tools and set off.

When she arrived in the courtyard under the scorching sun, Lu Ye was sitting on a recliner on the grape trellis.

He was reading a military book.

However, those deep eyes kept glancing involuntarily towards the gate.

Hearing a knock at the door, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said to Dr. Li, who was busy making moxibustion sticks, "Please go open the door."

Dr. Li had already put down his work and stood up.

"It must be Dr. Bai who has arrived."

Dr. Li was filled with anticipation for Bai Zhi's arrival and quickly opened the door.

Bai Zhi greeted him with a smile and then followed Dr. Li inside.

The sentry post at the entrance had been removed, and Bai Zhi saw the man sitting comfortably under the grape trellis, enjoying the cool shade, and a smile appeared on her face.

Being able to come out and enjoy the cool air means you're probably feeling much better.

She went over to greet him.

"Company Commander Lu, how are you feeling today?"

Lu Ye looked up and met her bright gaze, replying, "It's fine, everything is normal."

Bai Zhi nodded upon hearing this, "That's good, then let's get ready and begin the moxibustion."

"good."

Bai Zhi went to wash her hands, and Lu Ye got up to go inside.

Seeing that he still seemed very weak, Bai Zhi was afraid he would fall, so she went over and helped him up.

He was over 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than her. Although he was injured, it was a short time, and his body had not suffered too much damage; his muscles were still firm.

He had lost blood during the surgery, and his complexion looked somewhat pale.

When the girl's soft, jade-like hand touched his strong arm, his body felt as if it were being electrocuted, experiencing a tingling sensation.

As soon as he stood up, she immediately withdrew her hand.

He lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, "Thank you."

Bai Zhi said "It's only right" and went to wash her hands.

He gazed at the girl's graceful figure, unaware of how intense his gaze was.

Once inside, Lu Ye sat on the bed and asked her, "Is it the same as yesterday?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, the same as yesterday."

Upon hearing this, he raised his long, strong hand and began to slowly and methodically unbutton his shirt.

As the buttons were undone one by one, his muscular, wheat-colored chest was revealed.

Then, he lay flat on the bed.

Dr. Li has already come in with the moxibustion sticks.

After lighting it, I handed it to Bai Zhi so she could begin the moxibustion.

Dr. Li stood aside, observing very attentively.

Bai Zhi held up the moxibustion stick and aimed it at the acupoints around her navel.

When performing moxibustion, avoid exposure to wind and keep all windows closed.

Soon, the room was filled with a strong medicinal aroma.

Lu Ye's nostrils were filled with the strong aroma of medicine, and he slowly closed his eyes.

He seems to be enjoying this feeling.

When the moxibustion stick was halfway burned, Bai Zhi's forehead was also covered in a layer of sweat.

She wore the light blue dress she bought for ten yuan today, because it was cooler.

But even on a hot day, holding a fire in your hand will inevitably make you sweat profusely.

Dr. Li considerately brought over a towel, "Dr. Bai, wipe your sweat."

"Thanks."

Bai Zhi took the towel and wiped her face.

Lu Ye opened his eyes and saw that her face was flushed and her expression was complicated.

I felt bad about it.

Ask Dr. Li to pour water for Bai Zhi.

She said, "It's okay, I won't drink it first. Let's do the moxibustion first. We can't move around too much."

She was afraid that if she kept moving around, the force would be uneven, and the heat entering his body would also be uneven.

It affects the effectiveness.

The young girl looked incredibly serious and focused, even more so than the older, authoritative doctors when treating patients.

Looking at the girl's delicate face, so serious and focused, Lu Ye's eyes were full of admiration.

After today's moxibustion treatment, a layer of water droplets also appeared on Lu Ye's stomach.

Dr. Li went outside to prepare another moxibustion stick. Bai Zhi took a clean towel and gently wiped the water droplets off his stomach.

The girl's fair and slender hand held a white towel and wiped his sensitive area. The tingling sensation made his body involuntarily shrink. Especially when he saw the girl's calm and composed face so serious, a strange feeling ran through his body.

It felt as if a surge of heat was drilling straight down from my navel.

He tried his best to remain silent so that no one would suspect anything.

After wiping Bai Zhi clean, she gestured for Lu Ye to get up. Lu Ye concealed his unease and quickly sat up.

Next, we will begin moxibustion on the Dazhui acupoint.

She sat down behind Lu Ye.

Although this was the second time she had received moxibustion and the second time she had seen the scars on his back, she was still very unsettled and her heart still ached.

She sighed, lit the moxibustion stick, and began to apply it to his Dazhui acupoint.

She couldn't see his face from behind, which lessened the oppressive feeling considerably.

Dr. Li didn't say anything, and the room was quiet.

Bai Zhi focused intently on the moxibustion, while Dr. Li observed attentively.

Lu Ye, who was usually very sparing with words, suddenly spoke up, "Have you met Xie Zheng?"
