Lu Chenyuan looked embarrassed. “No need, right?”
He even gave Su Wanxing a meaningful glance, hinting there was someone else here.
But Su Wanxing wasn’t thinking about anyone else.
If Lu Chenyuan didn’t take off his pants, she’d do it herself!
In her previous life, Lu Chenyuan had injured his calf.
So she pushed him onto the rocking chair, ran inside to grab scissors, and started cutting the pant leg!
The key was, Lu Chenyuan didn’t even have a chance to resist.
The young soldier tried to recall all the sad things that had ever happened in his life just to suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Oh my heavens—this living king of hell was afraid of his wife!
He knew he had to engrave this in his memory for survival in the future.
Lu Chenyuan shot him a murderous glare, and only then did the young soldier reluctantly leave.
Su Wanxing looked at the wound—red and swollen, flesh exposed, the bone misaligned! Her heart ached.
Sure enough, it was the same injury.
But he had only wrapped a thin bandage and walked like a normal person!
What kind of steel willpower did he have to keep going like that?
The angrier Su Wanxing got, the more worried she felt.
“Don’t you have military medics? Is this how you treat a wound?”
Lu Chenyuan couldn’t tell her that he had secretly thrown away the heavy splints and just wrapped it with gauze to avoid worrying her.
But in the rush, he had forgotten the medicine.
He had planned to go to the hospital that night, find an excuse to stay a couple of days, and be mostly recovered before the wedding.
He didn’t want Su Wanxing standing next to a limping groom on their wedding day.
Su Wanxing did some emergency treatment, muttering to herself:
She had prepared so much, yet this wound looked worse than the last time. Had he not used any of her preparations?
She suddenly looked up. “Be honest. Did you use what I prepared or not?”
Lu Chenyuan smiled awkwardly. “Used it for the comrades…”
He felt that if he didn’t confess, Su Wanxing might rush to his unit and find out herself.
It turned out he had been saving everything, even the water, reluctant to use it.
During a mission, they had been ambushed and trapped in the forest for seven days. They survived only thanks to her water and rations.
Even the anti-inflammatory medicine, he had saved for other injured soldiers.
To lighten the mood, he even laughed, “Honestly, that water and rations were miraculous. We had endless energy, kept fighting the enemy, and won!”
“They all said they’d properly thank you on the wedding day.”
Su Wanxing looked at him reproachfully.
Lu Chenyuan’s heart ached and he stammered, “Y-you don’t… I-I’m really fine…”
Su Wanxing lowered her head and continued inspecting the wound.
These were life-saving supplies she had prepared, and he had given them all away!
But given the circumstances, Lu Chenyuan naturally prioritized others first.
Ah, her man was truly exceptional.
Sniffling, she scolded, “Then go with me to the hospital now! I’m still waiting for the wedding…”
Finally, Lu Chenyuan’s heart settled.
His girl, the best in the world!
Su Wanxing arranged for some family to help, contacted a vehicle, and sent him to the military hospital.
After completing the admission procedures, a gray-haired doctor came in with the X-ray in hand, scowling, his finger almost poking Lu Chenyuan’s face.
“You! What should I even say? You actually removed the splint and walked like a normal person! How’s that working out for you? Surgery is needed now!”
Lu Chenyuan’s heart tightened. “It’s not that serious, right?”
“Serious enough!”
The chief pointed at the X-ray. “Look at this! How badly it’s broken! You couldn’t spare your wife the worry, but you can’t treat yourself like this either!”
Su Wanxing took the X-ray, examining it carefully.
Lu Chenyuan fell silent for a moment before asking, “Can I be discharged by the wedding day?”
“No!”
“Yes!”
The chief and Su Wanxing spoke almost simultaneously.
All three were stunned.
The chief sighed. “I know you young people are eager to marry, like dry tinder catching fire. You’ve waited so long and finally…”
He even gestured with both thumbs.
Lu Chenyuan and Su Wanxing felt embarrassed.
“But this surgery is tricky. I’m old and my eyes aren’t good. My top apprentice should perform it, but he’s in Beijing for training. He won’t be back for five or six days.”
Lu Chenyuan panicked. “I can’t wait that long.”
Base missions were urgent too; he had to hold the wedding before leaving.
Su Wanxing had already agreed to suffer with him in the northwest, and he would feel guilty if the wedding were held there too.
The chief, unaware of Lu Chenyuan’s thoughts, assumed a lifelong bachelor was just eager for love—and with such a beautiful wife.
Shaking his head in exasperation: “You’d better stay put! Once your leg’s healed, then you can think about those things!”
“No, I…” Lu Chenyuan’s face flushed.
How could he explain?
Su Wanxing, genuinely worried, stared at the X-ray. Doing the surgery tomorrow wasn’t impossible.
After the chief left, she whispered, “I know a surgeon. She’s skilled. When I broke my leg as a child, she did my surgeries and the recovery was excellent.”
“The best part—she has time, sharp eyes, and steady hands. Should we try her tomorrow?”
Lu Chenyuan’s eyes lit up. “Which hospital? Let’s transfer immediately!”
Su Wanxing hesitated. “She runs her own clinic…”
“An illegal doctor?”
Lu Chenyuan was surprised.
In these times, everything was regulated. Only licensed doctors could practice properly. Many were restricted by status. Private clinics could dispense medicine, but surgery? Definitely unregulated.
Su Wanxing reassured him, “Don’t worry, she’s very skilled. My leg healed perfectly. Surgery only takes two or three hours. We go secretly, come back secretly, no one will notice.”
Seeing how worried she was, and knowing the wedding couldn’t be postponed, Lu Chenyuan gritted his teeth. “Alright!”
Su Wanxing beamed. “I’ll contact her immediately!”
As she reached the door, she turned and smiled, “Don’t worry—even if something went wrong with this doctor, I’d be with you forever!”
Lu Chenyuan’s heart was full, and he couldn’t suppress a smile.
