Chapter 37: Clearly in the lower position, yet acting with the means of the superior
What does it mean to jump into the Yellow River and still not be able to wash clean?
This is it.
Lu Xiu Bai's face flushed red, not from shyness, but from anger.
This female hooligan, even saying he didn't lose out—how did he not lose out!
His butt could only be seen by his future wife!
Men were one thing, but if a woman saw it, how could he explain it to his future wife in the future!
"Stop. You two can catch up later. I'm in a hurry. Doctor Pei, please be clear: which part does this person need to strip?"
Jiang Ye, seeing things developing in an uncontrollable direction, quickly interrupted their eye contact.
He thought to himself that his future brother-in-law actually liked this type of female comrade.
A military doctor was a pretty good profession.
If she became his and Manman's sister-in-law, Manman would have a peer to consult and progress with in the future.
"The upper garment."
Pei Yan Ting withdrew her gaze, her slender knuckles hooking a fountain pen on the table, writing something in a dragon-and-phoenix-dance style on the medical record.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion; the ambiguity had never existed.
"..."
Lu Xiu Bai fidgeted with his collar, not wanting to strip, wanting to slip away!
Jiang Ye had a cold face, his eyes sharp, carrying a natural sense of suppression.
Helplessly, Lu Xiu Bai, other than the title of future brother-in-law, was really no match for Jiang Ye.
He could only surrender, fuming.
Strip, strip it is!
He took off his coat, revealing his lean waist, then his thin shirt, revealing the final white undershirt that outlined the curves of his abdominal muscles...
They were both grown men; Jiang Ye had nothing to avoid.
His gaze swept calmly over the bandaged wounds on his future brother-in-law's chest and back, and he frowned slightly. Had the wounds reopened?
Blood had seeped out and stained the gauze red.
Pei Yan Ting's gaze swept over the abdominal muscles opposite her, then up along the muscles to scan the wound area. She then stood up, unwrapped the bandage, and leaned in to take a closer look at the wound.
There was some surprise in the depths of her eyes, but she didn't think in other directions, guessing it might be the soldier's good physical fitness and the speed of wound recovery.
However, the medicine still needed to be changed, so she decisively turned around, bent over, and added a few medications to the medical record.
"Trouble this comrade to take the slip to the window on the right on the first floor to get the medicine first."
"Okay."
Jiang Ye took the medical record, barely recognizing a few scribbled characters—anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs, nothing major.
When the door opened, a cool breeze blew in. Lu Xiu Bai covered his bare upper body with both hands, his eyes vigilantly watching the female hooligan...
"Is it necessary to be so stingy? Didn't I just tease you a bit when I performed surgery on you last time? You're really narrow-minded~"
There was no one else in the office, and Pei Yan Ting's tone carried a hint of cynicism.
Clearly a cold and beautiful woman, yet she had a cynical, playboy style.
"You female hooligan, how dare you still say that? Aren't you afraid of getting a stye in your eye?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? You've already called me a female hooligan; shouldn't I tease you enough to make it worth it?
Besides, I didn't look at your front~"
Pei Yan Ting's gaze was direct and bold as she scanned the "shy" man, her words filled with teasing.
Lu Xiu Bai's face turned red, then white, then green, then purple. For a moment, he was so angry his teeth itched. He simply stopped covering his bare chest, grabbed the other party's wrist with his large hand, and pulled her toward him.
His intention was to stare at her at close range and warn her not to have any ideas about him. If she kept running her mouth, he would go talk to the Hospital Director.
Unexpectedly, the other party fell into his arms, and she even knew how to do it without being taught, naturally hooking her arms around his neck!
"Click."
"Hm? Sorry to disturb."
Jiang Ye pushed the door open, his pupils shaking. He calmly closed the door and retreated.
Wait, the medicine in his hand.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Click."
"Put the medicine here. Since you two know each other, I won't disturb your catching up.
As for you, I'm going back to the regiment to work. You can go back yourself."
Jiang Ye didn't look sideways, placed the medicine on the table, dropped a sentence, and left quickly.
"Don't—"
Lu Xiu Bai reached out to grab Jiang Ye, but his soft waist was pinched by a fingernail, and tears instantly shot out from the pain—
"Ow."
His only response was Jiang Ye's merciless back and the door panel.
Pei Yan Ting very much appreciated that male comrade's tact. She maintained the posture of sitting in the man's arms, her well-defined fingers hooking the man's chin, and announced with absolute dominance:
"Now, no one is disturbing us. It's time to settle the score."
After speaking, she kissed him.
Clearly in the lower position, yet acting with the means of the superior.
"!"
Lu Xiu Bai's pupils were shocked. It's over; he's been bitten by the female hooligan!
His innocence is gone; his first kiss!
Jiang Ye returned to the office with light steps. It seemed his future brother-in-law's romantic luck was not bad; he wouldn't be hogging his little girl in the future.
He casually placed the cloth-wrapped box in the cabinet and began to deal with several other thorny matters.
During this time, Deputy Regiment Commander Qian Honglu came by to go through the motions; on the surface, things were peaceful.
He worked until past five in the afternoon. When the time came, he locked the important documents in the drawer, took out the cloth bag, and locked the office door.
"Regiment Commander Jiang, off work?"
"Mm, have things to do."
"Happy events make one's spirit refreshed. It seems Regiment Commander Jiang's happy event is in sight."
"Naturally. I'll invite Deputy Regiment Commander Qian to drink the wedding wine when the time comes."
"Good, good, good."
Qian Honglu had a square face and looked very upright.
But after exchanging a few pleasantries and turning around, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
If he could have used the fact that Jiang Ye wasn't married to suppress the leadership's high regard for him before.
Now that Jiang Ye was married, that trick wouldn't work!
Thinking of this, his heart stirred, and a person came to mind. Perhaps, there was still a turning point?
This time when Jiang Ye came to pick someone up, he borrowed a bicycle from an acquaintance.
Jeeps consumed fuel, and even for his rank, there were limits on usage.
Aside from this factor, there was a tiny bit of a man's selfish thoughts at work.
As for his future brother-in-law, he had completely thrown him to the back of his mind.
A grown man, and one who was being ambiguous with a female military doctor—he didn't think his future brother-in-law was losing out.
If his future brother-in-law got together with that Doctor Pei, maybe they could even hold their wedding banquets together. When assigning the family quarters, wouldn't it be better to try to choose adjacent houses so they could look out for each other?
And he remembered the young girl saying that once they were settled, she would find a chance to bring Grandfather over to the Sea Island to live out his retirement.
Regarding this Elder Lu, he had heard a little about him from Section Commander Duan; he was a person who had made great contributions to the military and the country.
If the other party wanted to come to the Sea Island for retirement, the leadership wouldn't stop him; on the contrary, they would warmly welcome him and provide all necessary resources for the old man.
This point seemed more humane than the monarchical hegemony system of the kingdom he was in in his past life.
Reborn in this era, he harbored deep respect for the leaders of this country!
If... if the monarch of the kingdom he was in in his past life could learn the thoughts of that great man, why worry about the world being in great harmony, no one picking up lost items on the road, and no need to lock doors at night... ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
