Chapter 121: Overcoming Hardness with Softness

Bai Zhi's gaze fell on Xie Zheng's arm, and she understood what he meant.

She said, "If you need any further treatment, we can discuss it when I get back."

"I can't wait, I need to get treatment right now."

Xie Zheng's beautiful phoenix eyes were more serious than ever before. "Bai Zhi, you know what it means to me if I can't play the guitar or the piano."

Bai Zhi patiently explained, "I understand, but your condition can't be fully recovered overnight; it takes time. I have some personal matters to attend to right now, so I'll examine your condition more thoroughly when I get back."

"I'll go with you, just in case you don't come back for a few months."

Xie Zheng looked serious; he didn't seem to be joking.

Lu Ye's fist was already clenched.

"Stop messing around. Wait for me to come back. If you need treatment, I can take you on, okay?"

"What do you mean 'ok'? I'm not okay at all. I have to go with you." Xie Zheng's face was serious. Seeing that Lu Ye was already gritting his teeth, he spoke firmly, "Lu Ye, I'm with Bai Zhi as a patient. I need her to treat me. If you dare to stop me, I'll fight you to the death."

His arm now needs treatment with angelica dahurica.

Lu Ye's tone was even more sinister than his, "If you dare to follow us, I'll take your life too."

Xie Yun helplessly pulled her cousin back, "Xiao Zheng, stop messing around. Xiao Zhi has already prepared scar removal medicine for you. Just apply it at home. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Having a scar on your arm doesn't mean you can't play the guitar.

Lu Zheng'an waved to Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, signaling them to hurry up and leave.

Let's go.

Lu Hai drove Lu Ye and Bai Zhi to the train station.

After getting on the train, we finally managed to squeeze into their sleeper berths.

One middle bunk and one lower bunk.

However, the lower bunk had already been taken by a burly, middle-aged man.

Lu Ye tried to negotiate with the person, but the other party pretended to be asleep and didn't move.

As a soldier, he used to always give up his seat to other passengers whenever he was on a train.

But today........

He has people around him who need protection.

Moreover, this big man is not a vulnerable group, so he shouldn't give way.

But the military discipline ingrained in his bones prevented him from getting into a conflict with civilians over seating arrangements.

Although he is not wearing a military uniform now, no one knows his military identity.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi was afraid that Lu Ye would get into a conflict with the other party, so she quickly pulled him aside and protected him behind her.

Lu Ye's eyes flickered slightly as he protected the girl, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

Suddenly, Bai Zhi wiped away her tears, looked pitifully at the burly man, and pleaded in an extremely loud voice, "Uncle, my boyfriend is sick, and we're going to seek medical treatment. He really can't climb up to the upper bunk, could you give up our lower bunk?"

The big guy remained motionless.

"If he could climb up, I would definitely be generous and let you have it, sob sob, but he really can't climb up."

Bai Zhi pinched Lu Ye's waist, signaling him to act more convincingly.

Lu Ye was very perceptive and coughed weakly a few times while covering his lips at the right moment.

Their bodies were all hunched over.

His actions immediately aroused the sympathy of the surrounding passengers.

"Look at you, all fat and scrawny, fighting with a patient for a seat. That's someone else's lower bunk, and you're holding onto it without giving it up. Have you no shame?"

"That's right, taking advantage of their strength to bully the weak. When did the world become like this?"

"Miss, if he doesn't get up soon, you should go find the flight attendant..."

The burly man was collectively criticized by the people in the carriage, and unable to lie still any longer, he had no choice but to get up and leave in a sorry state.

"Sit down quickly."

Lu Ye was helped to sit on the lower bunk by Bai Zhi. He looked at the lively girl and his handsome face looked strange.

Bai Zhi sat down next to him and chuckled, "Sometimes, when dealing with problems, a head-on confrontation isn't the best approach; showing weakness to gain sympathy might be more effective."

Especially in public places, public opinion can play a very important role.

Lu Ye gave a thumbs up, "I learned something."

Bai Zhi planned to climb up to the middle bunk, but said, "You lie down, I'll go to the middle bunk."

"Don't be sleepy yet, sit down for a while." Lu Ye pulled her back. "I'll be upstairs for a bit."

Bai Zhi, "..."

She coughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "Um... let's put our bags away first."

The corridor was bustling with people, and luggage was crammed in. Bai Zhi placed their bags on the bedside table and told Lu Ye to make sure they were safe. Although the contents might not be valuable to others, they were priceless to them.

Lu Ye's medicine and her silver needles are both very important things.

Lu Ye pulled Bai Zhi to sit on the lower bunk and looked at her, saying, "Xiao Bai, let's chat."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Bai Zhi replied with a smile.

"I'd like to hear your plans for the future."

She wanted to know if he was part of her future.

"In the future, let's find my grandfather first."

She doesn't recognize the old man yet; she needs to get to know him first.

Of course, she has already informed the outside world that she studied medicine with her maternal grandfather, so she may need to recognize him in a special way after meeting him.

She continued, "Then, I learned medicine from my grandfather. I am still inexperienced and have only learned the basics. Diseases are incredibly diverse, and as a doctor, one needs to study and research for a long time to benefit more patients."

"And... what about relationships?" Lu Ye pursed his lips, looked at her, and hesitated, "We..."

"Huh?" Bai Zhi smiled. "Aren't we getting to know each other?"

"Yes, getting to know each other."

"You'll have to go back to your unit after you recover, right?" If he goes back to his unit, then they will face the problem of distance between them.

Lu Ye responded, "Yes."

Before returning to his unit, he hoped to finalize their relationship.

In his case, the relationship could have already progressed to the next stage.

When it comes to matters of the heart, attraction happens in just a few moments; there's no need for a long time or much understanding.

The two sat there for a moment. Lu Ye coughed lightly and carefully moved closer to the girl.

Then, his hand involuntarily reached forward, tentatively touching her hand placed at her side.

Just as he was about to touch her, the girl raised her hand and brushed her hair aside.

His eyes flickered with embarrassment, and he withdrew his hand.

"Xiaobai, I..."

"Huh? What?" Bai Zhi glanced at him sideways.

“I…” Lu Ye was gathering his emotions and was about to say something when a familiar voice entered his ears.

"I didn't do it on purpose. Who told you to put the sack in the aisle?"

Then came the fierce voice of a burly man, "Pretty boy, are you still trying to argue? You impolite young people, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

"Hey? Who's being rude here?"

"Try touching me!"

Lu Ye's handsome face was dark and gloomy, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

Damn it, you're haunting me!

Bai Zhi naturally recognized the familiar voice amidst the noise.

Xie Zheng was actually in the car?

They were stopped by the burly man who had just taken their lower bunk.

Just as she was about to stand up, the man next to her pressed her down.

"Never mind."

The noise grew louder and louder, and Lu Ye held Bai Zhi down, preventing her from meddling in other people's business.

However, the style of the wall paintings on the other side of the room changed drastically very soon.
