A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Zhou Xuchen walked in, carrying two boxes of pastries.

He smiled and explained to her that he happened to be in a meeting with Lu Weidong that day.

He drove it over; I just wanted to come and visit.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi suddenly realized what was happening.

The two exchanged a few polite words.

"Comrade Zhou, are you also an officer from our division headquarters?" Ye Wenxi asked.

There is no Zhou Xuchen in the original work. I thought he was just a passerby when we met last time.

But now he not only has dealings with Lu Weidong, he also came to see her specifically.

Ye Wenxi couldn't help but have some doubts about his identity.

"Oh, I'm only working here temporarily."

"I work at a research institute in Beijing, where I conduct mechanical research."

"Oh, no wonder. Your demeanor is quite different from Wei Dong and the others. You look like someone who does scientific research."

Zhou Xuchen smiled and chatted with Ye Wenxi for a few more minutes.

She learned that Lu Weidong was going to get his car to pick her up and take her home.

He didn't linger any longer and got up to take his leave.

Ye Wenxi put on her coat and began looking for her shoes.

During her hospital stay, she wore the hospital's standard slippers the entire time.

Now that he was leaving, he changed into his black leather shoes.

"Let me walk you downstairs."

"It's alright, don't be shy, you should get some rest."

Ye Wenxi had already put on her shoes and insisted on following them outside.

"It's just a few steps, it's nothing."

I've only taken two steps.

"what!"

A sharp, stabbing pain suddenly shot through the sole of my shoe.

Ye Wenxi lost her balance and fell to the side.

Zhou Xuchen reacted extremely quickly.

He immediately stepped forward and firmly supported her arm.

"Be careful!"

Ye Wenxi's feet hurt so much that he dared not put any weight on them.

She leaned against Zhou Xuchen's arm.

At the other end of the corridor, Lu Weidong, who had just returned with his car, was walking briskly.

Suddenly, Ye Wenxi's short shout came from the observation room.

"Wenxi!"

In his panic, he rushed over in two strides.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Ye Wenxi swaying and leaning against Zhou Xuchen's arm.

My left foot was dangling precariously, and I dared not put it down.

"Glass! There's glass in my shoe!" she said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling.

Lu Weidong's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward to take the person from Zhou Xuchen's hands.

The movements were quick and steady, yet slightly hurried.

He helped Ye Wenxi sit down on the edge of the bed.

He crouched down and quickly took off her shoes.

Sure enough, a sharp piece of debris was embedded in the center of the sole of my foot.

A little red seepage was visible at the sole of the sock.

"Hiss... It might have gotten stuck in the seam of the shoe and then fell in."

Ye Wenxi frowned, staring at the red spot on the sole of her foot, and was about to reach out to pull it off.

"Don't move." Lu Weidong grabbed her hand.

"The sanitation workers need to handle this; it needs to be disinfected."

He had barely uttered the words when he thought of getting up to call someone.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Zhou Xuchen, who was still standing to the side.

He paused for a moment.

"I'll go call them."

Zhou Xuchen spoke at the opportune moment and quickly left the room.

"Thank you for your help, Comrade Zhou," Lu Weidong said.

Not long after, the medic arrived carrying a medicine box.

Disinfecting, applying medicine, bandaging... it was all done in no time.

"The wound isn't big, but try to walk as little as possible and avoid getting it wet for the next couple of days."

After giving instructions, the medic packed up his things and left.

The room fell silent again.

Zhou Xuchen stood by the door, his gaze shifting between the two of them.

"Um... Wei Dong, Comrade Ye, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."

Ye Wenxi politely said goodbye to Zhou Xuchen.

Lu Weidong nodded politely.

"Let's go too."

"Okay, I'll carry you."

"Yes." Ye Wenxi did not refuse.

She obediently climbed onto Lu Weidong's broad back.

"Commander Lu, Comrade Ye, are you leaving already?"

Several sanitation workers poked their heads out to greet them.

"Yes, thank you for your help these past two days," Ye Wenxi replied with a smile.

Lu Weidong carried her steadily out.

As Ye Wenxi passed by the pharmacy window, she inadvertently noticed a small notice posted on the wall.

Family planning supplies distribution point

Lu Weidong carefully placed her in the passenger seat.

Then he packed the gifts he had received over the past two days into the trunk one by one.

I closed the car door and went around to the driver's seat to start the car.

"Wait a minute," Ye Wenxi suddenly said.

"Come here for a moment."

Lu Weidong paused, a smile spreading across his face.

Thinking Ye Wenxi was going to kiss her, she leaned in and kissed her.

She hit him and said, "What are you doing?"

"ear!"

"Huh?" Lu Weidong was taken aback.

Ye Wenxi whispered something in his ear.

Lu Weidong's eyes widened as he listened, and he turned his head to look at her.

"You miss me that much?" He then looked at her teasingly, his eyes captivating.

Ye Wenxi turned her head sharply towards the right-hand car window.

All that was left for him was a bright red earlobe and his profile.

She took a deep breath and looked up.

He deliberately looked straight ahead, avoiding looking at him.

"Anyway... after that, don't even think about touching me."

"Hiss..." Lu Weidong was amused by her words.

"Okay, then I'll take a lot more."

Seeing Ye Wenxi about to raise her hand in embarrassment and anger, he quickly and deftly pushed open the car door.

They turned back to the health clinic.

Next to the small window of the pharmacy, there was a notice posted.

Behind the window sat a middle-aged male pharmacist wearing glasses.

He was looking down as he sorted out the documents.

"Hey? Battalion Commander Lu, what brings you back? Need to pick up your medicine?"

The pharmacist looked up, recognized him, and asked with a smile.

Just as Lu Weidong was about to speak, he noticed two young nurses standing by the window, peeking over there.

His face felt a little hot, and he cleared his throat.

He put his hand in his pocket, then quickly took it out again.

My eyes involuntarily drifted towards that sign.

"Um... I'd like to get some... family planning supplies."

He spoke the last four words in a very low voice, and the pharmacist didn't hear them clearly.

He leaned forward in confusion: "Huh? What do you want to get?"

Lu Weidong raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and muttered something else.

"Family planning supplies."

"Okay, okay! Do you want birth control pills or condoms?"

The pharmacist's voice wasn't very loud, but to Lu Weidong it sounded like he was speaking through a megaphone.

The two nurses, with their backs turned, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Weidong blushed awkwardly and scratched his eyebrow.

He tried to cover his feverish face.

He mumbled, "Condom."

He just wanted to collect the money quickly and leave as soon as possible.

The pharmacist rummaged through the medicine shelf, found a box, and handed it to him through the window.

"The ones from state-owned factories, specially supplied, are better than those sold elsewhere."

Lu Weidong looked at the condom and hesitated.

With a determined heart, he spoke again:

"Can I take a few more?"

"Sure, how many do you want?"

Lu Weidong was filled with the thought that he never wanted to go through something like this again.

He snapped, "20!"

The two nurses couldn't hold back any longer.

They supported each other, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

The pharmacist turned around and coughed at the two nurses.

It was as if they were being reminded to be careful.

These two brats, they wouldn't have such a big reaction even if someone else came to pick them up.

Lu Weidong's gesture made them very happy.

It's not for them to use, what's so funny?!

He turned to Lu Weidong and said, "Okay, wait for me a moment."

"Xiao Zhang, go to the warehouse and get 20 condoms. We don't have enough."

The nurse readily agreed: "Yes."

He then smiled and glanced at Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong waited in place for three minutes.

But those three minutes felt like three years to him.

Pharmacist Lao Wang finally packed the items into a bag and handed it to Lu Weidong.

After Lu Weidong took it, he said thank you and then tried to run away as if he were fleeing.

"Wait a minute!" Pharmacist Lao Wang called out to him.

"Battalion Commander Lu...please register this; it's the clinic's rule."

"Look, even Commander Chen has to register when he comes."

As he spoke, he tapped on a line of names above.

Lu Weidong: "........."
