762: Is this a combination of punishment and reward?

"If you have any problems at work, tell me anytime, and I'll help you."

The man's voice sounded again.

"No need, it's not appropriate."

Xiao Yueyue refused.

Xiao Yueyue actually refused?

Xiao Yueyue used to show off with the Xu Family's power, so why was she so strange now?

Thinking about what was said earlier, that Xu Yang was going to divorce Xiao Yueyue, could it be that Xu Yang and Xiao Yueyue had divorced?

Xiao Niannian looked at the greasy man; she felt that he gave her a very bad feeling.

This person approaching Xiao Yueyue definitely had ulterior motives.

"Director You, your Committee must be very busy. You should go attend to your work..."

Committee?

It was almost 1976, and the Committee would soon be abolished.

Thinking of the events that happened in 1976, Xiao Niannian felt a little sad.

"Wife, what's wrong?"

Lu Jing saw his wife looking at the snacks in front of her with a troubled expression.

"I'm fine."

Xiao Niannian wanted to change history; if she could save people, that would be wonderful.

But suddenly, her chest began to hurt.

Xiao Niannian clutched her chest, thinking about what had just happened.

Could it be that she couldn't change this historical process? Could she only make small changes to people, events, and history?

If that were truly the case, then... "Wife, you don't look well. I'll take you to the Military Region Hospital."

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"Are you done shopping? Let's go back to the car."

Xiao Niannian returned to the car. Lu Jing was anxious and looked at Xiao Niannian with worry. He saw a lot of sweat on his wife's forehead, which made him even more worried. In all these years, it was the first time he had seen his wife like this.

"Wife, let's go to the hospital."

Xiao Niannian reached out to grab him, but Lu Jing quickly drove straight to the Military Region Hospital.

"Wife, I'll carry you on my back."

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"You don't need to carry me!"

But Lu Jing directly picked up Xiao Niannian and ran towards the emergency room.

Xiao Niannian's body was still somewhat painful, like being pricked by needles, but she knew that it wasn't a problem with her body; it was more like a punishment from the Peak System.

Yet, everything she had done since transmigrating here was for the country and its people. Since she could change the Special Forces Brigade and alter many people's lives, why couldn't she change major historical processes?

"Ding, detected that the host has violated a taboo. Punishment: bone-piercing pain."

"Ding, pain tolerance +1."

Xiao Niannian almost laughed in anger when she heard these two voices in her mind.

Giving a punishment and adding 1 to pain tolerance—was this both punishment and reward?

"Comrade Lu, what's wrong?"

"Comrade Xiao is unwell. Please examine her."

Seeing Xiao Niannian in Lu Jing's arms, the director and other Military Doctors recognized her.

Comrade Xiao had been here many times and, together with Comrade Shen, had helped them treat patients.

"Quick, put Comrade Xiao on the stretcher."

"I'm fine, I'll be better after a while."

Xiao Niannian's complexion was much better than before. She spoke to the Military Doctors.

Seeing Comrade Xiao Niannian covered in sweat and her face pale, the Military Doctors would not listen to her.

"I'll take Comrade Xiao's pulse."

Director Xu stepped forward to take Xiao Niannian's pulse.

After a while, Director Xu looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.

"Director Xu, how is Comrade Xiao's health?"

"Comrade Lu, Comrade Xiao has excessively consumed vital energy... However, after my examination, I found that her body has no problems. The cause of the previous pain has not yet been determined..."

Lu Jing's expression grew even more solemn when he heard Director Xu's words.

Excessive vital energy consumption?

What was going on?

But Director Xu was also a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, skilled in both Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. He couldn't be wrong.

Xiao Niannian looked at Doctor Xu, then at Lu Jing.

"I'll be fine after resting for a bit. It's nothing serious."

Lu Jing was full of doubts and extremely worried.

Could it be that the training missions have been too heavy these past few years, and his wife hasn't been getting enough rest? Is that why this is happening?

"I'll prescribe a formula; you'll be fine after taking it for a few days."

Director Xu said with a smile.

Seeing the worried expression on Lu Jing's face, he comforted him again.

"Comrade Xiao has a very good foundation. After two days of rest, there won't be any problems... and there won't be any problems with subsequent training either..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing nodded, but the heartache in his eyes did not dissipate.

Xiao Niannian pretended not to hear Lu Jing and Director Xu's words.

"Director Xu, can I be discharged after I get the medicine?"

Director Xu saw Xiao Niannian wink at him and nodded.

"If you feel any discomfort, come back to the hospital for a detailed examination."

"Okay."

Lu Jing looked at Director Xu, wanting to ask his wife to have a detailed examination first.

"Comrade Xiao, please have a detailed examination now."

"Next time."

Seeing his wife like this, Lu Jing didn't insist anymore.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Director Xu."

Lu Jing had already paid for the examination fees and everything.

"Then we'll head back first."

"Thank you, Director Xu."

Lu Jing wanted to help Xiao Niannian, but at this moment, besides some sweat on her forehead, her body had recovered by more than half.

"No need to help."

Lu Jing still supported her as they walked outside.

They soon arrived at the parking lot.

Lu Jing helped Xiao Niannian into the car and said.

"I'll take you back to the training base."

"Let's go to the department store first and buy what we need."

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Wife."

"Listen to me."

Xiao Niannian reached out and placed her hand over Lu Jing's mouth.

Lu Jing looked at his wife, held her hand, and nodded.

Outside the department store, Lu Jing opened the car door and walked inside.

"Wait for me."

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing stopped.

Lu Jing waited for Xiao Niannian until her complexion recovered a bit. He was still somewhat worried. He decided that when they returned, he would have Shen Yan thoroughly examine his wife.

His wife knew medicine herself, so maybe she was hiding something from him.

After buying things at the department store, Lu Jing quickly drove the car back to the training base.

This time, he drove the car directly in front of the dormitory.

"You go in and rest first; I'll carry the things in."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

She entered the room, and because of her excessive physical exertion, she quickly fell asleep.

After about twenty minutes, Military Doctor Shen rushed over.

Military Doctor Shen was also extremely flustered. He hadn't expected Niannian to suddenly have an accident. What exactly was going on?

And Old Lu also said that Director Xu stated Niannian had consumed too much vital energy, but other causes were not found during the examination.

"Where's Niannian?"

Seeing Lu Jing open the door, Military Doctor Shen quickly walked in.

Lu Jing led Military Doctor Shen to the bedroom, where Xiao Niannian was sound asleep.

When Military Doctor Shen approached, Xiao Niannian opened her eyes and looked at him warily.

Upon seeing Military Doctor Shen, Xiao Niannian smiled.

"Senior Brother."

Hearing her call him Senior Brother, Military Doctor Shen said with a serious expression.

"Stretch out your hand; I'll take a look."
