chapter 47

Pei Mu understood her hint. To avoid an embarrassing situation, he immediately replied, “I agree. So you two are not suitable at all. You’d better find someone else.”

Song Shizhang said, “Where can I find anyone else? There are only two kinds of people in our barrack—men or their wives. Lu is the luckiest guy. His parents find him a young beautiful gentle considerate wife for him. We are super jealous bachelors now.”

Lu finally couldn’t help speaking after keeping silent all the time, “You can ask for one, too. Maybe your Miss. Right will also be young, beautiful, gentle and considerate. And you don’t have to be jealous then.”

Pei Mu laughed, “Take it easy, Song. There will be a celebration party, right? And Ouyang will be the host. He said there would be a social club with Military General Hospital. Unmarried nurses, doctors and staff will all come. You can open your eyes wide to pick one. Those girls generally admire militants. Perhaps there is a girl who loves you. Stay tuned.”

Song was delighted as soon as he heard it, “Really?”

“How could Ouyang lie to you?”

Ai couldn’t help cocking her head and looking at Lu when she heard nurses from Military General Hospital would join the club. She gave a super subtle look.

But those characters—”Vice Commander Ouyang” came to Lu’s attention.

Vice Commander Ouyang, named Ouyang Xiong, was a hero who received lots of merit citations before. He had a daughter whose name was Ouyang Zhenzhen.

The reason why he still treated Ouyang Zhenzhen nice was not that his father was the vice commander, but that his father was a true hero.

When Ai looked at him, Lu stopped for a second. Because he never cared about Ouyang Zhenzhen. He finally noticed her reaction until Ai glared at him.

He stroked her hair, saying, “You can stay with me by then.”

Therefore, he wouldn’t have time to look at others and Ai wouldn’t be jealous.

Ai got blushed. She turned her head and didn’t look at him any more.

After a long trip, they finally got to the barrack. Ai was a little bit excited when she stood in front of their home, looking at the doorplate. It was as if she had come back to her home.

The feeling was totally different from what she felt in the hospital. She always felt resistant and insecure in the hospital. Only when she was at home, could she really relieve herself.

Lu pulled her hand when he saw her standing there blankly, “Come on in.”

The house was clean and spotless. It was obvious that Yang Anxin must often come here to do cleaning.

Lu unbuttoned his shirt as he walked in, “I think I really should get a shower.”

He hadn’t got a shower since he went to hospital. Even when he couldn’t stand being dirty, Ai just used a wet towel to wipe his back, arms and legs. But it still wasn’t useful at all.

When Ai heard it, she rushed to him immediately, “You should use the tub. You can’t get your wound exposed to water.”

Lu frowned, “How can I curl up in a small tub? No way.”

Ai burst into laughter when she imagined the situation when he curled his huge body up in the tub. She quickly regained her calmness as soon as she noticed Lu’s expression. She said, “You can’t use shower head. It is not a big deal to wash yourself in the tub.”

“No.” Lu refused coldly. He took off his jacket and walked toward the bathroom.

Ai was afraid that he would use shower so she kept trying to persuade Lu to follow her behind, “Don’t be mischievous. You can’t get your wound in the water. Behave yourself, please. You are too stubborn now. I admit you are a real man but can you compromise a little bit?”

Lu pretended that he didn’t hear it. He raised his eyebrow when he was going to close the door and saw Ai still following behind, “What? Do you wanna watch me?”

Ai’s face turned red, “I…I”

Seeing her blushed face, Lu seemed to find something interesting. He couldn’t help teasing her, “To be honest, I can use the tub unless you meet my condition…”

He knew she would be angry though, he still wanted to make fun of her. He just couldn’t help. She looked so adorable when she was shy.

“What condition?” Ai felt it couldn’t be a good thing by her instinct. There was a flash of hesitation on her face.

“I want you…” Lu walked up to her until Ai was cornered. Lu bent himself down, and whispered, “help me wash my back.”

“You…” Ai looked up shyly. She brushed his hand away subconsciously. But she thought about his wound on his chest. So she changed her mind and her hands ended up with resting on his shoulders. “Nonsense. I won’t talk to you again.”

And she wanted to escape under Lu’s arms.

How could he let her go at this time? He lowered his arms and circled her in his arms, “I am not kidding. I can’t touch my back if I wash by myself. Isn’t it necessary to help me?”

Lu held her so tightly that she couldn’t breathe freely, “No. Wash yourself. Use your bath towel or other way. Anyhow, I won’t help you.”

Lu leaned on her completely. He enjoyed her soft body and said with absent-mindedness, “What if I get a shower? Why do you follow me in?”

“I..I..” Ai failed when she wanted to argue back. So she ran away quickly.

Lu shouted behind her, “Why did you run away now? I am going to get a shower then.”

Ai rushed back to the living room from the bathroom. She couldn’t resist her anger when she heard it. “Oh my god. Why there is such a man in the world?” She was pissed off.

When she was in a sulk, there came the sound of gurgling water from the bathroom, alternating with Lu’s voice, “Ah…It is so good. I am in heaven now. Why do I feel so good?”

Ai was in a fit of rage. ‘How dare he? How dare?’

She was furious but worried about him at the same time. After she wavered for a few minutes, she finally made up her mind and dashed into the bathroom.

“Lu Zhanke!” She bawled.

But all she saw was Lu stood aside the shower head jauntily.

“Alright. Cheated again.” Ai glared at him furiously.

Lu grinned cheekily, “Don’t worry. I had an exercise just now. Now it is the real thing. ”

Ai forgot the silly thing he did that made her angry. She had no choice but to say, “OK. You win. I can help you wash your back. Go into the tub and don’t move.”

He probably was her destined jinx.

Lu raised his eyebrow proudly. He knew he would win.

So Lu now lay in the tub, with his head resting on Ai’s knees. But Ai sat on the chair and washed his hair without any complaint.

It would be much easier for her to do it if Lu had stayed still. He kept broadcasting how he felt.

“Scratch the left. No. Left. Yah. It is there. Scratch harder. ”

Ai was so irritated that she scratched his head hard. Lu gasped with pain, “Too hard. Do it mildly please. Alright. Now turn to the right.”

“Be gentle. Knead the acupoint…Why do you have such a great strength? What did you eat when you were a child?”

“Knead but not press on it. Control your strength. Mind the position.”

Ai swore if it were not illegal to kill, she really wanted to press his head under water and let it sink to the bottom.

Having done with his head, she started to wash his back. But Lu never stopped talking rubbish. Ai was numb with his talking. She realized that she must be an evildoer in her previous life so she had to serve him in this life.
