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

"Lu Weidong! Your arm!" Ye Wenxi suddenly exclaimed.

The area where Lu Weidong's upper arm was injured was soaked with a large patch of dark red blood from his shirt.

Ye Wenxi instantly realized that it must have been because he had hugged and supported her last night that her wound had reopened.

She immediately reached out to unbutton his shirt.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lu Weidong chuckled teasingly, "What, you want to take my clothes off?"

Ye Wenxi glared at him fiercely: "Didn't you see the wound is bleeding again?!"

"It's not serious," Lu Weidong said casually, glancing at his arm.

Ye Wenxi ripped open his shirt and looked at the wound.

The stitches had clearly come ripped open, with blood mixed with tissue fluid smeared around them; it looked painful.

"Immediately! Go to the clinic!" Ye Wenxi said angrily.

How can this person be so indifferent to their own body?

So you just left the wound open all night?

Ye Wenxi only remembered that she had a fever, but she did not know that the fever had reached the point where she was delirious and talking nonsense.

In her mind, how could Lu Weidong neglect to treat his wounds in order to take care of her?

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

"No! We'll go now!" Ye Wenxi insisted.

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Lu Weidong had no choice but to agree.

He put on his coat, walked to the door, then turned back: "What do you want to eat? I'll go to the cafeteria and get it for you."

"I have no appetite...something light is fine." Ye Wenxi lay on the bed, her voice still languid.

Before leaving, Lu Weidong poured a glass of warm water and placed it on her bedside table, reminding her to drink it.

"Hmm..." she mumbled in response, her eyelids beginning to feel heavy again.

Ye Wenxi vaguely heard the door close and was just about to fall asleep.

Ring ring ring—!

The phone suddenly rang.

Ye Wenxi was startled. Who would call this number? Not many people know this number.

She forced herself to get up, went to the living room, and answered the receiver.

"Feed? Who?"

"Hello, this is the clinic. Is this the home of Battalion Commander Lu Weidong?"

"right."

"Are you a family member of Battalion Commander Lu?"

"Yes... what can I do for you?"

"We're doing a follow-up to find out more about the situation. You had a high fever last night, how are you feeling now?"

It turned out to be a clinic. Ye Wenxi was delirious with fever and didn't realize how serious the situation was.

"I'm much better... Did you have a very high fever last night?"

"Yes, your fever reached 42 degrees Celsius. Battalion Commander Lu was very anxious at the time, and we urgently coordinated with Dr. Ding to come and give you an injection to reduce the fever."

"It's good that your fever has subsided now. Remember to rest, drink plenty of water, and eat a light diet."

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone, her brows furrowed tightly.

She felt incredibly frustrated.

It sounds like a little person is screaming inside:

What? I've become part of your game, haven't I?

Is the female supporting character destined to be seriously ill so that the male and female leads can meet and advance their romantic relationship?

Ye Wenxi was panting heavily, completely convinced of the logical but actually suspicious reasoning in his mind.

She was unaware of how much Ding Jiahe disliked Lu Weidong.

They were even more unaware that Lu Weidong consistently maintained an extremely distant attitude towards other women.

She just thought, how could it be such a coincidence?

When the fever was at its highest, it was Ding Jiahe who came to give him the injection.

Why is it that every time they meet, I'm either not there or I'm unconscious?

It's as if the plot forces her to be a nobody.

Ye Wenxi cursed this damned world in his heart.

Even after Lu Weidong changed her dressing and brought her food, Ye Wenxi was still curled up in bed, wrapped up in a ball.

No matter how he called out, she didn't respond or show her face.

Lu Weidong sat down on the edge of the bed and gently touched her through the blanket: "Are you really that angry?"

He laughed, which showed that Ye Wenxi cared about him very much.

His usually cold and hard voice was now low and soft.

I will definitely pay attention in the future.

"Shall I feed you something?"

Ye Wenxi felt incredibly frustrated in bed, but then she suddenly understood.

She can't afford to starve herself; she has to live!

Make yourself both powerful and difficult to kill!

Then, as if in a huff, he took the porridge from Lu Weidong's hand and began to eat it spoonful by spoonful.

Lu Weidong thought he had managed to appease her.

He smiled and reached out to touch her face.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Ye Wenxi glanced at him, still somewhat annoyed.

"Eat." Lu Weidong smiled again, looking down at himself.

It seems that although Ye Wenxi was angry, she still cared about him.

He went to the kitchen, took a set of bowls and chopsticks, and came back to have breakfast with her.

After the meal, Ye Wenxi took her medicine but still felt exhausted, so she fell asleep again.

Lu Weidong returned to the regimental headquarters to handle the backlog of affairs and reports.

Aside from rushing back at noon to bring her lunch, he didn't show up again all afternoon.

Ye Wenxi was happy to accept this.

She was feeling troubled, but not seeing him brought her peace and quiet.

As evening approached, Ye Wenxi felt she couldn't lie still any longer; her whole body ached terribly.

I worked up a sweat and felt sticky all over.

She slowly got off the bed, boiled a large basin of hot water, sat on a small stool in the bathroom, and splashed water on herself to wash herself little by little.

It's not cold inside the apartment; the military family compound has already started trial heating.

Although it was below zero outside, the temperature inside rose to around twenty degrees Celsius thanks to the newly installed heating pipes.

She hadn't recovered her strength yet, and the room was warm, so the bath took an exceptionally long time.

After finishing his work, Lu Weidong went to the cafeteria first.

I wonder if Ye Wenxi's appetite has returned, and what she's thinking now.

They then ordered several kinds of staple food and dishes.

There was light porridge and steamed buns, and half a pound of rice was also served.

The meat dishes included braised pork ribs with potatoes and braised pork belly, and two vegetarian dishes were also ordered: stir-fried cabbage with vinegar and dried tofu with green peppers.

The woman serving food at the window, with her sharp eyes, smiled and asked, "Battalion Commander Lu, is this enough for two people?"

"Yes," Lu Weidong replied readily, "and my lover too."

"Oh my, you really know how to take care of people!" The auntie's spoon didn't even tremble.

I added another spoonful of chicken stew with mushrooms.

"Let your wife try this too."

Several soldiers eating nearby exchanged glances.

Everyone has heard that Battalion Commander Lu got married, but we've never seen his wife come to the canteen. What kind of person is she?

Wang Hao happened to be getting his food too, and he came over with his lunchbox: "Battalion Commander, I helped carry your wife's washing machine back yesterday!"

"Aren't you going to treat me to a meal? Or you can order another one, and I'll go back with you?" Wang Hao joked.

"It's not convenient today," Lu Weidong said coldly.

Wang Hao was about to scoff at him, thinking he really wanted some alone time with just the two of them...

Your sister-in-law is sick.

"Huh? How serious is it?"

"She had a fever of 42 degrees Celsius, but after receiving an injection to bring it down, she's feeling a bit better." Lu Weidong picked up the lunchbox. "I have to hurry and take it back to her."

"Oh dear, you probably caught a chill yesterday," Wang Hao quickly said.

"My sister-in-law came back from the county by horse-drawn carriage yesterday. Now that it's getting colder, the journey must have been tough."

Lu Weidong paused: "By carriage?"

He instantly understood: how could she possibly transport the washing machine back by herself without a car?

What immediately welled up in my heart was immense regret and guilt.

I blame myself for not thinking things through and not preparing these things in advance. I was away as soon as we settled down, and I couldn't even accompany her to buy them.

Self-blame and guilt, like two invisible hands, pushed Lu Weidong's steps even faster.

Many people in the residential compound greeted Lu Weidong and noticed the three large lunch boxes he was carrying.

"Battalion Commander Lu, you've brought back lunch for your sweetheart?"

"Battalion Commander Lu, your wife has come to join you in the army?"

"Mm," Lu Weidong nodded in response.

After he walked away, intermittent murmurs arose from the crowd.

"I didn't expect Lu Weidong to be such a doting husband!"

"Looks like they have a great relationship. No wonder someone got punished before; these people were just spreading rumors! They deserved it!"

Suddenly, a young girl with two braids ran up to him and stopped him, her voice soft and gentle:

"Battalion Commander Lu, I heard you were wounded... Is it serious?"

Before she could finish speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

Excuse me, could you please let me pass?

Lu Weidong spoke almost at the same time as her, and without stopping, he turned and walked past her.

The girl stood frozen in place, her face flushing red and then turning pale.

.....

Lu Weidong walked a few steps to his front door, took out his key, and opened the door with a "click".

He placed the food he had gotten from the cafeteria on the table, turned around to go to the bedroom to call someone, but found the bed empty.

Then I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
