Chapter 71: How Did I Bully You?
Bai Zhi washed her face, changed into her pajamas, and took out paper and pen, intending to write down the formula for the scar removal medicine and then get the medicine and grind it into powder later.
Once Lu Ye and Xie Zheng have their stitches removed, they can sell the scar removal medicine to them to earn some money and start a new life.
She didn't see anything wrong with making money off them. Without her, this miracle doctor, they would have spent their entire lives with those incredibly ugly caterpillar scars.
She is doing them a favor.
She finished writing the prescription in a long and easy manner, and then stretched.
The thought of receiving a substantial income soon made me feel incredibly happy.
Bai Zhi looked at the prescription and fell into deep thought again.
Logically speaking, her grandfather should have already received her letter, so why hasn't the old man come back to find her yet?
Could it be that something went wrong with the letter en route?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi began to feel anxious.
She put the only one-inch black and white photo of her mother that she had into the letter. If her grandfather did not receive the letter, wouldn't her mother's photo be lost?
She plans to make the medicine as soon as possible tomorrow, and after selling the scar removal medicine to them, she will take the money and go find her grandfather.
We can't wait any longer.
She got up, intending to go outside for a walk.
She had just turned around when the curtain was lifted.
A shadow fell.
She saw the man standing at the door and was surprised.
"Company Commander Lu, is something the matter?"
The man stood there, glancing into the room. "Is it convenient for me to come in?"
Bai Zhi made a gesture of invitation.
"Please sit down."
She pulled out a chair for him.
Lu Ye didn't sit down. He took a long stride and walked up to her, looking at her with intense, intimidating eyes. "Did I bully you?"
Bai Zhi, "..."
"How did you bully them?"
"Please explain in detail so I can correct my mistakes."
He was very close to her, his breath brushing against her face as he spoke, and she turned her face away uncomfortably.
"You won't let me wear pretty dresses out."
Lu Ye, “.......”
He explained, "That's not bullying, it's for your safety."
"Also, you're too aloof."
Lu Ye, "..."
Is his aloofness a form of bullying?
He coughed lightly. "That's just how I am."
He felt guilty, thinking about how his parents always said he had a stern face, which might scare the little girl.
He tactfully stopped talking about it and instead looked at the paper and pen on the table. He asked, "What are you writing?"
"prescription."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi say that the paper contained a prescription, he picked it up casually. "A prescription for me?"
He asked casually, and upon seeing the elegant handwriting on the paper, his handsome face showed a slight change in expression.
Bai Zhi took the prescription from his hand, saying, "Don't look at it, this is a family secret recipe."
This man is no ordinary person. As an outstanding soldier, he has amazing memory and eyesight. If he memorizes her prescription, will she still be able to make money?
"Did you really write this?" His gaze remained fixed on the prescription in her hand, his eyes probing as he asked.
"Of course I wrote it."
Bai Zhi tucked the prescription into a notebook and put it in the drawer. She glanced at him sideways and said, "If you're going home, the stitches will have to be removed the day after tomorrow."
Lu Ye concealed the strange look in his eyes and replied, "Okay, you can take it apart when the time comes."
"Can."
As Lu Ye was about to leave, he turned back to look at the notebook containing her prescription. "Who is that prescription for?"
"I gave you the scar removal medicine, but I haven't written it all out yet," Bai Zhi said. "You can use it after the stitches are removed if you need it."
"need."
Bai Zhi was quite satisfied with his answer. She pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, but you need to prepare the medicine costs in advance. I need to purchase medicinal herbs, which are quite expensive."
Upon hearing her words, Lu Ye felt embarrassed by his own slowness.
He readily replied, "Okay, I'll give you the money tomorrow."
A bright smile spread across her delicate face as she cheerfully exclaimed, "Alright! It's settled then."
Seeing how happy she was, he was also infected by her joy, and his handsome face relaxed.
His eyes flickered slightly as he said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Bai, it's still early. If you have nothing else to do, could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Could you copy this document by hand? I need it for tomorrow."
"Documents? Is this appropriate?" They handed her their unit's documents to copy?
He replied, "Don't worry, it's not a classified document."
Bai Zhi had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then bring it over and I'll copy it. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning."
...
When Lu Zheng'an returned home, Wang Shufen and Xie Yun were still patiently persuading the old man to take his medicine.
Lu Shaoan went to Jincheng, and Lu Zhengan was not around during the day, so his two daughters-in-law really couldn't do anything about the old man.
This time, the old man was determined to use his body to threaten Lu Ye.
"Dad, just take your medicine. It's your own body. Don't be so willful. If your condition gets serious, you'll be the one who suffers."
Grandpa Lu wouldn't listen to Xie Yun at all. He asked Xie Yun with a stern face, "Then tell me, why doesn't Xiao Ye come home?"
Xie Yun kept repeating the same thing: "I've explained it many times, he has a mission and can't come back."
"What kind of mission has taken so long to return?" Old Lu was a soldier himself. Although Lu Ye belonged to the special operations regiment and was not in the same branch of service as him, he still had some understanding of the nature of Lu Ye's work.
If he's away on missions for extended periods, it can only mean he's been an undercover agent or...
Xie Yun said, "Dad, we don't understand what's going on in other people's work. Anyway, he's busy, so let's be understanding. You take good care of yourself at home so they can focus on their work."
Old Master Lu wouldn't listen at all and kept pressing, "Tell me the truth, has something happened to Lu Ye?"
Xie Yun's expression stiffened slightly at the old man's words.
She tried to appear relaxed and smiled, "Dad, what are you thinking? Lu Ye is fine, don't overthink it."
Wang Shufen, who was rubbing her swollen fingers, seemed to suddenly realize something when she heard the old man's words, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, Dad is right. Lu Ye hasn't come back for so long, has something happened to him?"
Xie Yun frowned, her tone unfriendly, "Second Aunt, watch your words. Lu Ye is in the army, don't say anything out of line."
Wang Shufen, however, didn't take it seriously and said bluntly, "Sister-in-law, you can't blame Dad and me for having such suspicions. Lu Ye used to at least call, but how long has it been since he contacted the family? Even if he doesn't like Bai Zhi, he should at least inquire about Grandpa's health, right? He knows about Grandpa's health condition. He's always been filial. If something hadn't happened, how could he not contact the family?"
