Chapter 230: A Cry of "Boss"

Chapter 230: A Cry of "Boss"

When it was time to go to bed, Lu Ye stayed on Bai Zhi's bed and refused to leave. Bai Zhi tried to push him away several times, but the man always said the same thing: "Let me hug you a little longer."

They hugged each other and drifted off to sleep.

Lu Ye was suddenly awakened by the sound of coughing coming from the courtyard.

Startled, he quickly pulled his arm away from the girl and sat up.

He heard his grandfather in the yard.

He stood up, hesitating whether he should go out.

Going out could result in being scolded or even beaten.

If we don't go out, the consequences will be even more serious.

Just as Lu Ye was scratching his head in confusion, Bai Zhi woke up.

She hadn't been sleeping too soundly. When Lu Ye woke up, it woke her up too. She sat up and quickly realized what was going on, feeling a little embarrassed.

How did the two of them fall asleep while hugging and kissing?

She glanced at her watch; it was only 10:30.

Thankfully, I only slept for an hour.

"It's alright, sit on the edge of the bed first."

Bai Zhi opened the door.

Sure enough, Ye Rufeng was standing in the courtyard.

"Grandpa, you're still awake?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile.

Ye Rufeng stood in the darkness, solemn and imposing.

Bai Zhi, however, remained calm and composed, a faint smile on her face, her tone relaxed and natural, "Lu Ye drove for too long last night, and his arm muscles were sore. I just gave him acupuncture to relieve the soreness."

"Oh." Ye Rufeng's face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his expression.

At this moment, Lu Ye reluctantly stepped out.

Bai Zhi glanced sideways at his concerned instructions.

"You just finished acupuncture, so don't get it wet yet. Don't wash your face before bed tonight."

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Ye could feel the sharp gaze of the knife-wielding figure in the center of the courtyard. He calmed himself down and said softly, "Xiao Bai, you've worked hard today. You should get some rest too."

Bai Zhi nodded. "Okay."

"Grandpa, did you wake up to get up at night? Go to bed early later."

Bai Zhi went to the toilet while yawning.

After Bai Zhi went into the restroom, Ye Rufeng stared at Lu Ye with a cold expression.

Feeling a little guilty under Lu Ye's gaze, she blinked slightly and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to sleep now."

"Stand there." Ye Rufeng angrily called out to him, "I agree to your marriage, but that doesn't mean I agree to your premarital indecent behavior."

Lu Ye hurriedly denied it, "Grandpa, I didn't."

When Lu Ye denied it, he lacked confidence.

"Don't push your luck." Ye Rufeng snorted coldly and turned to go back into the house.

Lu Ye watched the old man's retreating figure, feeling somewhat annoyed.

He really shouldn't have fallen asleep in Bai Zhi's room.

At least for now, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend.

One should be mindful of boundaries at night.

Protect the girl's reputation.

After Bai Zhi came out of the bathroom, Lu Ye gestured for her to go to sleep. He only went back to his room after she went inside and closed the door.

The next morning, Lu Ye got up early to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks. After Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi finished washing up, he quickly brought out the breakfast.

Lu Ye was diligent and considerate, but Ye Rufeng still had a dark face and ignored him.

"Where are you going today?" Bai Zhi asked Lu Ye while drinking her soy milk.

Lu Ye replied, "I need to meet with my comrades in the military. They will arrange for me to go to the military hospital for a comprehensive check-up and to assess my physical condition."

If his physical examination is normal, he will need to return to his unit.

Therefore, he needs to go home and discuss the betrothal and marriage arrangements with his parents.

He also needed to submit a report to the military and obtain a certificate.

"Okay, you go ahead with your work."

When Lu Ye brought Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi to Jishengtang, just like yesterday, there were already patients waiting at the door.

They spotted a familiar yet conspicuous figure in the crowd.

Seeing Lu Ye's jeep stop, Xie Zheng strode directly towards them.

Caught off guard, Lu Ye stood in front of him, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry."

“Lu Ye, what happened last time was my fault. I shouldn’t have ruined the beautiful atmosphere when you confessed to Bai Zhi. I admit that I was a little jealous of you at the time, so I lost control of my emotions and did something wrong.”

Lu Ye, "!!!"

"Please forgive me, for the sake of us growing up together, okay?"

Xie Zheng's attitude was sincere, even somewhat humble.

"Boss, can you forgive your brother?"

The word "boss" made Lu Ye's heart tremble.

How many years has it been since Xie Zheng addressed him like that?

Ten years have passed.

He never called himself "boss" again after Xiao Wei's accident.

I always addressed him by his full name.

At this point, he was addressed in the same way again.

Lu Ye looked at his face and noticed that his former arrogance was gone.

His heart was churning violently.

He simply couldn't remain indifferent.

This was his former brother.

He is one of their core trio.

Even though Xie Zheng had treated him like an enemy all these years, he had never given up on him in his heart.

Xie Zheng held the same place in his heart as Chen Laosan.

He had been waiting for Xie Zheng to come to his senses and emerge from the shadow of the past.

At this moment, looking at Xie Zheng's sincere expression, he felt a sense of relief.

"It's good that you know you're wrong." After a long while, Lu Ye spoke calmly.

Xie Zheng hurriedly stated, "I know I was wrong, I knew I was wrong a long time ago."

"Boss, you've forgiven me, haven't you?" Xie Zheng looked at him expectantly and pressed for an answer.

Lu Ye's eyes flickered slightly at Xie Zheng's urgent request for forgiveness.

But she still gave a lukewarm "hmm".

After Lu Ye finished speaking, Xie Zheng immediately looked at Bai Zhi.

"Xiao Zhi, did you hear that? Lu Ye has forgiven me."

He looked at Xiao Zhi with bright eyes and said, "You said the day you hit me that you would only continue to treat my illness if Lu Ye forgave me. You have to keep your word."

"You are now a highly respected traditional Chinese medicine doctor; you must keep your promises and be a man of your word."

Bai Zhi, “.............”
