Chapter 393: Lu Yi, You Jerk “Half a month?” Yan Huan’s eyes were filled with tears.

There were two more months until Yan Huan’s dismissal from the military, causing her to not have much time left. Worse, she was going to waste another half of the month now. Her time was running out.

Grinning, the military doctor said, “That’s not my fault. Did you sell your blood or donate it to someone else? Your anemia is so severe that you might pass out anytime.”

Yan Huan lowered her head as she fell silent.

One’s body requires some time to regenerate new blood cells after blood loss. I’m now responsible for your health and your life. You shall rest well as you still have a long way to go.

“Thanks,” Yan Huan received the medical certificate and exited the consultation room. Little did she know that there was another agenda behind the military doctor’s grin. The moment Yan Huan left the room, the military doctor took out his mobile phone and made a call.

“Lu Yi, it’s me. I’ve given her a medical certificate, allowing her to rest for half a month. Is that enough?”

“Thanks.” Lu Yi leaned against the wall. His eyes were constantly masked with a layer of indecipherable emotion. No one could ever read his mood that was hidden underneath those black eyes.

“Then...” The military doctor’s nosy persona surfaced, “Can you tell me what’s your relationship with Yan Huan? Don’t worry. I’m good at keeping secrets. I swear that I’ll keep it to myself and no one else will find out.”

Lu Yi remained silent.

The military doctor scoffed, “Have you fallen for her? So, you’ve come all the way to the military base to woo a woman. Indeed, no one can deny her beauty. However, you shall be cautious. Beautiful women can be very dangerous.”

“She is my wife,” Lu Yi said in an emotionless and unvarying tone.

The military doctor raised his chin. He could feel the wind blowing through the window and almost hear the bright and clear chirping of the birds.

The pigeons and the wilted vines rest on the old tree.

The residents stay by the stream with a small bridge.

Yet, I’m merely a loner who stays in a small corner of the world.

This is unfair. Even an unromantic person like Lu Yi is able to get married to a beautiful girl. Meanwhile, I am single and all alone. This is not fair. How is this fair?

Yan Huan submitted her medical certificate. In fact, even without the medical certificate, the instructor would not allow her to train alongside her fellow soldiers as the doctor had given clear instructions for her to not commit into any aggressive sports. Therefore, she was only allowed to clean the dorm, refill the water bottles and cook for the rest of the team. At the very least, after their tough training, the soldiers were served with warm cooked meals and clean drinking water.

“You make such a good logistic.” Starving, Huang Mengmeng continued to stuff herself with food. She was completely worn out. To be able to come home to a nicely prepared meal, it was like heaven to her.

Yan Huan responded with a bitter laugh. She never wanted to be the leader of the logistics team. All she wanted was to join the training.

At this moment, all the female soldiers gathered together. They were eating their meals as they shared gossip. Gossips were complementary to women’s presence. The tittle-tattle was their only pastime in the military base.

“Do you think Instructor Lu is good-looking?”

“Good-looking? For me, he’s only a demon.”

“I can’t disagree with you. But, he’s a good-looking demon. Rumor says that he was born in a military family. However, he is a very private person and his background has always been a mystery. Nonetheless, he’s not someone to be trifled with.”

“But...” They were puzzled, “What is he doing here?”

No one could answer that question.

“Maybe he was too bored.”

Yan Huan said nonchalantly.

The others turned to look at her who had abruptly interrupted their conversation, and gave her a thumbs up.

Yan Huan raised her head and she locked gaze with the man who was holding his food tray. His black eyes were glaring right at her. Upon seeing that scene, the rest of the group choked on their food, almost suffocating themselves. Can there be any coincidence that is more terrifying than this?

Their tattle talk was witnessed by the man of the story himself.

Yan Fuan carried her tray, intending to top up her portion as she was never one who would gain weight from overeating.

“Yan Huan,” Lu Yi called out.

Yan Huan turned around, standing still.

“Yes, sir.”

It was a soldier’s responsibility to obey. At this moment, she remembered that she was a soldier and she obeyed her instructor’s order. She wondered if she was allowed to go and finish her meal now as she was not filled yet. She had lost a good amount of blood and she needed food to recuperate.

She willfully proceeded in her track and refilled her plate. Then, she picked a random spot, took a seat and continued her meal. On the other hand, the rest of the female soldiers who were involved in the chat just now were worried about the punishment that they were going to receive.

Indeed, the punishment came in the afternoon, which included 20 kilometers of field training and wilderness survival training.

“Knock knock...” Yan Huan knocked the door. She reckoned this nitpicking man must be really bored of his job as a prosecutor. Why did he leave his job and come to this shabby place to be an instructor? Why did he choose to face an army of female soldiers everyday?

“Come in,” answered the nitpicking man. Yan Huan had a sudden urge to leave this place immediately.

However, she glanced at her military uniform and reminded herself about her responsibility. She was a soldier, ergo she obeyed.

She entered the room and stood before Lu Yi with her chest out, chin up.

“Sir, I’m here. How can I help you, Instructor Lu?”

She was good at acting as a stranger. Lu Yi stood up and walked to Yan Huan’s side. He stared at Yan Huan’s fair face.

Why is she still looking so pale? Is she not getting any better?

With his finger, he gently knocked his temple. He had run out of ways to deal with this woman.

Yan Huan raised her head. With a straight face and pursed red lips, she refused to utter even a single word.

Her arrogance and pompous manner annoyed Lu Yi immensely, to the extent that he wished to punch her in her face. Yet, he could not bear to do it.

“Instructor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” Yan Huan turned her back at him. She had no intention to waste any more of her time here. However, before she managed to make her move, her feet parted from the ground. She was lifted up as a whole by Lu Yi.

“Lu Yi, you jerk!”

She cursed repeatedly. Yet, it was as though Lu Yi’s arms were made of metal rods. It was impossible for Yan Huan to loosen his grip, not even a little.

Followed by a thud, she was thrown on the bed. Before she could escape, her four limbs were forcefully pinned against the bed.

Yan Huan glared at him, “Lu Yi, you call yourself a man?”

All of a sudden, Lu Yi leaned closer. He squinted his menacing black eyes as he intimidated, “Miss Yan, do you not know if I’m a true man? Do you need proof?” his breath ran over her ear. Immediately, she felt as though a current had run from her ear all the way to her brain.

“Miss Yan, I think it’s better for me to prove my gender to you. Then, you can rest assured that I’m a real man.”

With one hand, Lu Yi unbuttoned his shirt. The buttons were unfastened, one after another, as Lu Yi held Yan Huan fast skillfully with his legs riding on top of her body. Yan Huan was unable to move at all.
