Chapter 164: Chapter 138: After all, he has been a bachelor for nearly 30 years

After saying that, the man lifted Ji Sang off his legs, got out of bed himself with a straight face, and went to the bathroom. Ji Sang looked up just in time to see Fu Yisi’s tense jawline.

The sound of water started, and Ji Sang, sitting on the bed, couldn’t help but laugh.

She knew that, looking the way she did now, Fu Yisi wouldn’t really let her help him, but seeing him looking frustrated again, she still found it somewhat amusing.

This man—when she took the initiative and wanted to go further, he forcefully stopped, saying he wanted to give her more time. She couldn’t remember how many times it had been, but each time Fu Yisi would enter the bathroom with that frustrated expression.

So, why seek discomfort voluntarily?

Ji Sang thought about it and laughed again.

But at this time, Ji Sang still didn’t know. When Fu Yisi was trying to hold back from touching her, he could stop even at the most critical moment, but once they reached the point where they could break through, the subsequent nights would become Ji Sang’s sweet torment for quite some time.

After all, a man who had abstained for almost thirty years, once he starts indulging, it would probably be hard to stop.

…

The construction of the Hong County Reservoir was not yet completely finished, and Ji Sang naturally needed to follow up on the final work. Zhang Quan and Wang Feng were completely unaware of Ji Sang’s fall into the water; they simply thought she caught a cold from the rain and were not in a hurry to collect material.

Of course, worried about missing some wonderful shots, Wang Feng temporarily took on the responsibility of the photographer, while Zhang Quan, who was supposed to be on vacation, was reluctantly made a reporter.

By five in the afternoon, Ji Sang had somewhat recovered. She knew Fu Yisi would not allow her to continue working, so she didn’t bring it up. Instead, after finishing their dinner, she pulled him out for a walk.

“The scenery here is indeed nice; if the water is all gone and the weather clears up, it must be beautiful.”

For once, the two had time to stroll around in the evening.

Perhaps, after experiencing the death of Yang Jun and her own fall into the water, Ji Sang’s dependency on Fu Yisi had grown much stronger than before.

Previously, even when Fu Yisi took her to the TV station, she feared being seen by colleagues, but now, she openly held the man’s arm and even occasionally leaned her head against his shoulder when introducing him.

The man noticed this change in Ji Sang, and while he was feeling somewhat touched, a glance swept across and saw a tent not far away, raising his eyebrows.

“Here to show me the scenery of the reservoir?”

Ji Sang was not shy.

“The reservoir is so magnificent. Besides, don’t you want to catch up with big brother?”

The man let out a light snort.

What is there to catch up on between two grown men? Besides, they had already met.

And this little heartless woman here, thinking they hadn’t, still wanted to use this as an excuse to come over here. For what reason would she come here if not?

It was nothing but worry about the work at the TV station.

Fu Yisi had long seen through Ji Sang’s little schemes.

After expert inspection, the Hong County Reservoir dam was currently in good condition; as long as the remaining construction work was completed, there would be mainly no issues. The firefighters left first, leaving only the team led by Yan Jin.

With not much to do, the military men’s faces were no longer as stern as before, they looked quite relaxed, and it was right around mealtime, so the enthusiasm of the people from Hong County made the endearing soldiers’ faces flush with smiles.

Because Lin Jiao aggressively insisted on treating Yan Jin’s wounds this morning, and many had seen it, now in a rare moment of leisure, these young and hormonal lads couldn’t contain their curiosity and gossip, focusing their attention on Lin Jiao.

“Dr. Lin, you knew our chief before, didn’t you?”

The question came from a newbie who had just joined and was out on a mission with Yan Jin for the first time, naturally also his first time meeting Lin Jiao. The other bold veterans started to tease.

“It’s more than just knowing, Dr. Lin and our chief go way back.”

How come it just so happened that on several missions, they ran into Dr. Lin?

Many times these men, trained in observation, failed to notice Yan Jin’s injuries, yet Dr. Lin could spot them with just a glance.

“Chief, don’t you think it’s time we changed how we address her?”

Hearing this, Lin Jiao smiled until her eyes formed crescent moons as she looked at them.

“What to change?”

“Hehe, what else could it be?”

The person who spoke looked around at their buddies.

“Of course it’s….”

“Sister-in-law!”

Over a dozen muscular young men almost roared the words, drawing everyone’s attention instantly.

Lin Jiao: ….

Even though she had been chasing Yan Jin for so many years and had grown a thick skin, she still couldn’t withstand the stares of so many people. She turned to look at Yan Jin, and the man had his usual grim face, as if nothing was unusual, but Lin Jiao’s sharp eyes caught the red tips of his ears.

After a day of hard work, mealtime was their most relaxing moment. Everyone in their prime, once the teasing began, it seemed hard to stop.

Especially since Yan Jin hadn’t spoken up yet.

“Isn’t that right, sister-in-law?”

Lin Jiao blushed, unsure of how to respond. Normally Yan Jin would have stepped in by now; why was he still standing there, watching the show today?

Just as she felt at a loss, Lin Jiao suddenly saw a couple not far away walking hand in hand toward them.

She hurriedly waved her hand to greet them.

“Ji Sang, come over!”

Compared to her, the group was much more curious about Ji Sang.

Such a delicate and gentle-looking girl, yet she could work so hard amidst wind and rain for so long. Lin Jiao had noticed several people wanting to help her, but they didn’t know how to operate the camera gear.

No sooner had Lin Jiao finished speaking than several of the teasing guys turned to look behind them. And after they saw Fu Yisi standing beside her, they turned back around, a look of disappointment in their eyes.

Ji Sang was also curious about what they were teasing about, and upon Lin Jiao’s call, she immediately pulled Fu Yisi over.

Lin Jiao took the opportunity to escape the encirclement, grabbing Ji Sang’s hand.

“Are you feeling better?”

The sudden affectionate gesture made Ji Sang freeze for a moment, but instinctively she moved aside to lean on Fu Yisi, and her hand naturally shook off the hold.

Lin Jiao: …???

“My health has improved a lot.”

Ji Sang pursed her lips slightly, worried her instinctive movement might have caused Lin Jiao to take offense.

If she really ended up with her elder brother, dealing with Lin Jiao would be inevitable.

Her hand, which had hung empty by her side, grasped at nothing, and Fu Yisi looked down at her movement, then intentionally held her hand, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Lin Jiao.

“Are you looking down on me?”

Listening to Fu Yisi’s somewhat baffling words, Lin Jiao blinked.

Partly understanding.

Especially after seeing a slight apology in Ji Sang’s eyes, she understood the purpose behind Fu Yisi’s words.

Lin Jiao chuckled lightly.

“How dare I, how could I dare to compare my medical skills with the revered hand of the surgical master?”
