On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 82 Aci, do you not want me to help you apply the medicine?

Although Wen Ci joined the hospital after joining the army, she was still entitled to seven days of marriage leave. Although the Northwest Military Region was poor, the benefits were very good.

Downstairs in the family compound, Zhao Dongmei sat on a chair with shoe insoles in her hand, listening to everyone chatting, just like the unemployed women in the family.

They could only pass the time by chatting with a few neighbors.

"Commander Huo's family is really generous; they just gave away an old-fashioned bicycle like that."

"Who says otherwise? That's a 28-inch bicycle. Not only is it expensive, but the key is that industrial coupons are very hard to come by. I heard that industrial coupons sold outside are worth as much as a bicycle."

The others sitting next to him stared wide-eyed: "So expensive?"

Zhao Dongmei was pricking the insole with a needle when she heard them talking about Huo Jingyuan. She accidentally pricked her hand, and hatred welled up in her murky eyes.

The blood on his hands stained the white fabric of the shoe insoles red.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei, you're bleeding!"

It wasn't until someone reminded her that Zhao Dongmei came to her senses, put her pricked finger in her mouth and sucked on it, the taste of blood filling her throat.

After a while, Zhao Dongmei took her fingers out of her mouth, her fingertips white from being sucked, and forced a faint smile: "These insoles are a bit thick."

"Sister Dongmei, be careful."

Nowadays, most of the military dependents have not suffered the hardships of the past, so they don't recognize Zhao Dongmei and call her "sister-in-law" because of her age.

"I wonder who will be the first to win the Devil Week."

"By the way, will we be able to sell the bike then? The Northwest is such a small place, having a bicycle doesn't seem to be of much use, it's just for decoration."

"What are you saying? That was a reward from the leader, how could we possibly sell it?"

Upon hearing this, an idea flashed through Zhao Dongmei's eyes: to make Qin Jin the number one in the "Devil Week" competition, which would not only make her look good in front of the leaders in the Northwest.

I can also get Huo Jingyuan's bicycle. After getting the bicycle, I'll resell it and give him a good slap in the face!
When Wen Ci woke up.

There was an extra bottle of ointment on her bedside table. She felt as if her whole body had been skinned and dismembered, especially her lower body, which ached terribly. She was wide awake now.

Wen Ci stared wide-eyed at the ceiling.

Huo Jingyuan is such a jerk.

There was an extra piece of paper on the ointment.

After resting enough, Wen Ci reached for the note on the bedside table. The man's handwriting was rather neat: "Rest well and lie down more. I'll bring you lunch and apply the medicine."

The strokes of the pen for the two characters 'apply medicine' became more elegant, revealing his satisfaction and delight.

Wen Ci threw the note aside in a huff and pout, then sat up in bed. She didn't need that scoundrel's help to apply the medicine; she could manage on her own.

After a while, Wen Ci felt the effects of the medicine dissipate.

In the 1980s, ointments and medications for treating wounds or injuries were exceptionally effective, and one could feel the body gradually recovering in a short time.

Before Wen Ci could put her pants on, the door to the room was opened.

Huo Jingyuan stood at the door with a lunchbox in his hand, staring intently at Wen Ci with a half-smile on his face. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Aci, don't you want me to help you apply the medicine?"

Wen Ci: "..."

She felt like she'd been caught stealing.

Wen Ci casually picked up a pillow and threw it at Huo Jingyuan, her cheeks puffed out, looking like an angry little pufferfish: "Who told you to be so unrestrained last night?"

Huo Jingyuan tilted his head and used his shoulder to hold the pillow.
