Chapter 88 of Volume 1: I Don't Take Baths

  Bai Wei and Yan Qingcheng had just tidied up Cong Ye's place and sat down to watch TV when Zhi Xiao Hui returned. Perhaps to conceal her red eyes, she only stood there for a moment before excusing herself on the grounds of not feeling well and went back to her temporary quarters in the dormitory.

  Bai Wei and Yan Qing Cheng were both meticulous girls, so they naturally discovered Zhi Xiao Hui's red and swollen eyes. However, the two of them seemed to have an unspoken understanding and didn't mention this matter.

  Soon, Bai Wei and Yan Qingcheng finished dinner with Cong Ye on either side of him, then kept him company watching TV. Since it was news time, there weren't any good shows to watch, and Bai Wei, who never liked watching the news, held onto the remote control, switching channels back and forth. When she inadvertently switched to the city's television station, the remote control in her hand almost fell to the ground.

  "Brother Cong Ye, Sister Qing Cheng, your matter."

  Cong Ye and Yan Qing Cheng also noticed at the same time.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now reporting on a hijacking incident that occurred this noon on Nanjing Road. Since the suspect held the person hostage in a military vehicle, our reporter who went to the scene for an interview was unable to capture the situation inside the vehicle due to location constraints."

  When the announcer said this, Cong Ye's heart relaxed a little, Yan Qingcheng was slightly disappointed, and Bai Wei was completely disappointed. She really wanted to know what the situation was like at that time. But the announcer's next words made the three people's minds change simultaneously.

  However, a thoughtful girl in the crowd of onlookers recorded everything that happened inside the car with her mobile phone. Now let's take a look at how the young man staged a touching heroic rescue scene.

  It's "hero saves beauty" again. When Cong Ye heard this phrase, he felt a bit resistant in his heart. Jing Cheng was indeed a beauty, but how did he become the hero?

  "Xiao Wei, hurry up and change, don't listen to their nonsense."

  However, the two girls stared intently at the TV screen, ignoring Konoha's words, and Berui even tightly hugged the remote control in her arms.

  Although the TV screen was shaking and not very clear, the general situation could still be seen clearly. When Cong Ye broke his left arm with a punch, Bai Wei exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and tears instantly flowed out. Yan Qingcheng couldn't bear it either, when the TV screen just switched to the scene in the car, tears had already filled her face. The scene that happened before her eyes was something she would never forget for the rest of her life, no need to look again or think about it again.

  When Cong Ye broke his right arm, Bai Wei had already forgotten that the injured Cong Ye was sitting next to him and turned around to pounce into Cong Ye's arms. Fortunately, Cong Ye reacted quickly, and the two hanging hands on his neck immediately lifted up, avoiding Bai Wei's incoming body. This time, however, it scared Yan Qingcheng into crying out in surprise.

  "Xiao Wei!"

  "Oh no, I forgot."

  Bai Wei also reacted quickly, but had already fallen into Cong Ye's arms, and still lingered for three or four seconds before carefully sitting up straight.

  The whole process, from Cong Ye's arm being chopped off to Zhang Cheng being shot, took no more than two minutes, but the TV station replayed it three times.

  "It serves him right, it really serves him right. Next time I'll thank that colonel properly."

  "Who should you thank, sir?"

  The attention of all three people was on TV and they didn't notice when Wu Chen arrived at the door.

  "Director."

  "Big Brother Wu."

  "Is it you?!"

  Wu Chen looked at Pei Wei who was staring at him and asked with a smile:

  "Is the colonel you're supposed to thank me?"

  "Was it you who killed that bad guy?"

  "Haha, you're right, saying he's a bad person isn't wrong after all."

  "Brother Wu, when did you come back?"

  Before dinner.

  "Has that person's identity been investigated clearly?"

  "I understand."

  Having said that, Wu Chen looked at three curious pairs of eyes before continuing:

  "That man's name is Zhang Cheng, a major fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Public Security for two murders."

  "He is from Sifang City Di Rong's place, isn't that saying..."

  "Di Rong was unaware of this, the person's whereabouts were mysterious, with extremely high anti-detection capabilities, not to mention his martial arts skills, which could easily take down a dozen or so big and small guys. After committing the crime, he hid out for over 20 years without being discovered."

  "Colonel Uncle, isn't that saying Congye Brother achieved meritorious service this time?"

  "Of course, it's still a great achievement."

  "In that case, shouldn't Brother Congye be promoted one level?"

  "Hehe, I said it but don't count it."

  Seeing Bai Wei's somewhat disappointed expression, Wu Chenle continued with a laugh:

  "But there is one thing I can tell you in advance."

  "What?"

  Bai Wei asked with wide eyes.

  "The foliage will next become the common enemy of all men, and this will be an undisputed fact."

  "Principal Uncle, where did this come from?"

  "Hehe, you guys think about it yourselves. I came to take a look at Cong Ye's injury, doesn't seem too serious, you all continue watching TV, I'll leave first."

  After seeing Wu Chen off, Bai Wei turned around and took a look at Yan Qingcheng's slightly flushed face, only then did she suddenly understand the meaning of Wu Chen's words.

  It's just that, although she understood, Bai Wei didn't find it funny at all. How great would it be if that scene was Brother Cong Ye doing it to save himself? Without rhyme or reason, such a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and Bai Wei's face also flushed red in an instant.

  Due to Yan Qingcheng and Bai Wei each having their own concerns, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward. Bai Wei flipped through TV programs listlessly for a while, put down the remote control, and asked Yan Qingcheng:

  "Qing Cheng Jie, where did you take a bath?"

  "Go to my room."

  Yan Qingcheng finished speaking and turned her head to look at Cong Ye, Bai Wei also thought of it at this time, how should Brother Cong take a bath?

  "No need, when I was in the army, we would go out on missions and sometimes wouldn't take a bath for over ten days."

  Seeing two girls turn their heads to look at themselves, Cong Ye hurriedly explained that he didn't want to take a bath now.

  Yan Qingcheng, after all, was a doctor by profession. In the past, when it came to washing patients' bodies, he didn't think it was particularly embarrassing. If it wasn't Cong Ye, but one of his own patients, Yan Qingcheng would definitely not have felt any embarrassment at all. However, with Bai Wei by his side, and the person who needed help washing his body being Cong Ye today, Yan Qingcheng knew that he would find it very difficult to remain calm and composed again.

  Bai Wei was even more unlikely to do so; when she decided to stay, had she ever thought that taking care of a patient would also involve washing his body?

  "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wei."

  Just as the two were at a loss, Zhi Xiao Hui arrived. After entering, she greeted Yan Xuan Cheng and Bai Wei, but ignored Cong Ye, turning around to sit on the sofa.

  "Xiao Hui, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so be sure to get plenty of rest."

  "Sister-in-law, I'm fine now. Are you guys taking turns keeping watch? Count me in too."

  Cong Ye hastily advised:

  "Xiao Hui, your body can't handle staying up late."

  "It doesn't matter, I couldn't sleep anyway."

  Seeing the faint expression on Zhi Xiao Hui's face, Cong Ye didn't know if he had offended her again somewhere. He looked at Yan Qing Cheng and Bai Wei, meaning to let them help persuade her. Yan Qing Cheng knew Zhi Xiao Hui's temperament, and secretly shook his head at Cong Ye and Bai Wei, then lowered his head and said to Zhi Xiao Hui:

  "Xiao Hui, otherwise, you'll be on duty from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, and Bai Wei will take over from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock."

  Having said that, he looked at Zhi Xiao Hui, waiting for her reaction.

  "Xiao Wei will be there from 10 to 12, she's young and can't stay up late."

  "Xiao Hui, I'm leaving. If you weren't still recovering from your illness, I wouldn't be arguing with you either. But now you have to listen to Jing Cheng. Otherwise, if you relapse again, won't that make Brother Cong Ye worry?"

  Bai Wei vaguely guessed a bit of Zhi Xiao Hui's thoughts, but still thought that Zhi Xiao Hui was grateful to Cong Ye Ge Ge for the most part, so she added the sentence afterwards. Sure enough, this sentence had an immediate effect, and Zhi Xiao Hui thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

  "Now that we've divided up the shifts, Pei Wei will come to my room to take a bath and sleep first, then go call you at 12 o'clock."

  "Okay, but first let me help Congye brother clean up and then I'll go."

  Yan Qingcheng's heart suddenly had an idea as soon as she heard this.

  "In this way, we'll take turns washing Cong Ye's body, one person per day. Xiao Hui will do it on the first day, and Xiao Wei will do it on the second day, okay?"

  Bai Wei had originally wanted the three of them to help Cong Ye wash up together, thinking it would be less awkward that way, but Yan Qing Cheng had assigned tasks in this manner instead.

  Yan Qingcheng was trying to avoid being seen by Bai Wei and Zhishao Hui when the three of them were helping Cong Ye wash her body, as she would have been embarrassed.

  Zhi Xiao Hui did not express her opinion, which was equivalent to agreeing with Yan Qing Cheng's proposal.
