Chapter 269 What's going on with these two?

"Shall we take a break?" Su Feng asked, turning around.

"Um"

Ye Wenxi responded and squatted down, rubbing her swollen ankle, wincing in pain.

"How much longer until I get to your house?"

"We've only been walking for ten minutes. We're almost out of this area of ​​bungalows." Su Feng stopped in his tracks, hands in his pockets.

"Why did you go back to Harbin?" Ye Wenxi asked, rubbing her feet as she looked up.

"I came back to take care of some family matters." Su Feng's tone was flat, and his face showed no emotion.

Ye Wenxi frowned slightly, and roughly guessed that with Su Changqing's downfall, their family must be in chaos.

It could be real estate, family property, or some unclear social obligations.

She didn't ask any further questions, and continued massaging her feet with her head down.

"What about you? When are you going back to the camp?" Su Feng glanced at her.

"I want to wait for Sister Yunxia and Ding Jiahe to come back from Yunnan, and then I'll go back with them."

"Oh, I've heard about it." Su Feng nodded, his tone serious. "Wang Hao and Ding Jiahe's deeds are truly admirable."

He paused, then added, "How are they recovering now?"

Ye Wenxi sighed: "Ding Jiahe was shot in the right arm, and the nerve damage is quite severe. He may not be able to be a military doctor in the future. Wang Hao is okay, but he will need a long time to recover and return to training."

"Let's go," Ye Wenxi stood up and continued walking forward.

The two chatted back and forth like that.

They talked about Ding Jiahe and Wang Hao, and then about Lu Xiaojun's academic performance.

As we walked, we turned at the entrance of an alley.

Suddenly, an unsettling scene appeared before me.

Ye Wenxi was taken aback at first.

Suddenly, a cold hand reached out from the side and slapped it in front of her eyes.

Su Feng's hands were enormous, carrying the coolness of the night breeze, completely covering half of her face. Before she could react, he had already turned her halfway around, shielding her behind him.

Ye Wenxi then realized that this man had actually urinated on the ground here.

Su Feng released his grip, but Ye Wenxi didn't turn around. Then, a curse and a dull kick came from behind:

"Screw you, pull your pants up right now!"

The man was about to get angry, but after seeing the size and build of the newcomer, he swallowed his anger.

"Oh dear, this is messed up... I'm so sorry, I startled your partner." The man hurriedly pulled up his pants and ran away sheepishly.

"He's gone," Su Feng said somewhat awkwardly.

Ye Wenxi turned around and continued walking, but the two of them remained silent in embarrassment.

Fortunately, two minutes later, the two finally emerged from the dark area of ​​bungalows.

Su Feng stopped and glanced into the distance:

"You wait here, I'll go get the car. You can't walk anymore with that leg."

"Okay." Ye Wenxi nodded, then asked, "Approximately... how long will it take?"

"It takes ten minutes to walk normally. For you, it would take more than half an hour to shuffle along," Su Feng said.

Ye Wenxi glanced back; behind her was a dark area of ​​bungalows.

"How about... I walk for another half hour?"

Su Feng was taken aback, realizing that Ye Wenxi was still a little afraid of being alone here.

But he looked at her feet, and it was almost too heavy for her to put any weight on them.

"Two minutes, you wait."

After saying that, Su Feng quickly stretched his muscles and bones.

"Huh?" Ye Wenxi hadn't reacted yet.

Su Feng had already rushed out.

The speed was astonishing; he was like an arrow released from a bow, darting far away in just a few steps.

Ye Wenxi stood there stunned. In the blink of an eye, Su Feng had already run dozens of meters.

She stood there, watching the black figure rushing away down the dimly lit road without looking back.

Ye Wenxi sighed softly.

It's not that she hasn't been admired or received passionate confessions.

But she can handle all of that with ease, and it doesn't even cause her much distress.

Modern people's emotions flow too quickly and hurriedly; adults' love cannot be invested too much, nor can it linger for too long.

After being rejected, you'll meet someone new who makes your heart flutter, and you'll meet an even prettier girl.

Or perhaps I am just one of many who have confessed their feelings.

But this era is different.

The people and the feelings are so pure that they soften one's heart.

Ye Wenxi treated them with great care and cherished every relationship she had with them.

But fate played a cruel joke, dragging this innocent man into this doomed vortex.

Ye Wenxi sighed again.

Two minutes later, a military jeep roared up from the street corner.

The jeep sped up, roaring with the accelerator, and screeched to a halt beside her.

Su Feng raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

"Hiss... You're a dozen seconds too slow. Come on up." He was clearly very dissatisfied with the result.

Ye Wenxi couldn't help but laugh: "It's alright!"

She opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

After driving for a while, Su Feng glanced at her in the rearview mirror, held the steering wheel with one hand, and reached into the glove compartment on the passenger side with the other, pulled out a small bottle, and handed it to her.

"Safflower oil, it's something I use often. Just rub it in yourself."

Ye Wenxi took it, then paused for a moment: "You still carry this with you?"

"I use it every day, I'm used to it," Su Feng said casually.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some into her palm, rubbed it to warm it, and then carefully pressed it onto her ankle.

"Hiss—" she gasped.

Su Feng glanced at her in the rearview mirror, said nothing, but slowed down the car a little.

Ye Wenxi gritted her teeth and rubbed the area repeatedly. The aroma of safflower oil quickly filled the carriage—spicy and warm.

"It'll be fine once it's rubbed in." Su Feng suddenly said.

"For your condition, it should be better in two days."

"That's amazing?" Ye Wenxi was somewhat surprised; she thought it would take at least four or five days to get it right.

"Yes, it was prescribed by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor; you can't buy it outside," Su Feng said casually.

Ye Wenxi guessed that it was probably a good item that the Su family had obtained, and now... it's probably going to become a limited edition.

"You should keep it. It's a waste for me. You'll definitely need to use it often in the future."

Su Feng glanced at her in the rearview mirror:

"A bottle of safflower oil, and you're treating it like a family heirloom." He said casually, "Take it if I give it to you."

Ye Wenxi did not refuse again and decided to return it to him after returning to the camp.

"Thank you so much, Su Feng. I'm so grateful to you for today."

"Don't talk like that. Isn't this just a coincidence? Do you think I'd just leave you there and ignore you? If Lu Weidong finds out, he'll lose face again."

Ye Wenxi smiled and lowered his head, then continued to rub his ankle without saying anything more.

The rest of the journey was quickly completed, and they arrived at the residential compound where the Lu family lived.

Ye Wenxi looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the door.

"Xiaojun?!" she called out as she rolled down the car window.

Lu Xiaojun heard the sound and turned around to look:

"Second Aunt! Why are you only just getting back? My grandparents were so worried!"

He had barely finished speaking when he glanced into the car.

"Instructor Su!?"

Eh?

What's going on with these two?
