(Three chapters released together)
Soon, the doorbell rang, and at Lin Lan’s gesture, Luo Ziling ran over to open the door.
As the door opened, Luo Ziling was taken aback by the sight of a woman in a military uniform, her face covered in acne, standing at the doorway.
The female soldier, upon seeing a man in Lin Lan’s room, also froze in place.
However, she didn’t say a word and instead quickly swapped her shoes and strode into Lin Lan’s bedroom.
“Ah?” The sight of Lin Lan without pants, her legs covered by a thin blanket, and bloodstains on the bed left the female soldier stunned.
“Are you guys doing…” She couldn’t finish her sentence.
Following her in, Luo Ziling understood what the female soldier left unsaid and immediately blushed.
Before he could explain, Lin Lan threw off the thin blanket covering her, pointed to her bandaged leg and said, “He treated an old injury for me. I’ll need at least a day to recover and can’t move. Could you help me with some things?”
The female soldier known as “Shanque” was surprised as she glanced at Lin Lan’s leg and then at the embarrassed Luo Ziling standing aside, she seemed to grasp what had happened. Still, she let out a sly chuckle, her face expressing amusement.
She was very familiar with Lin Lan’s personality; no man dared to approach her, even male comrades didn’t dare to enter her room.
Today, a man had entered her room, and Lin Lan had even taken off her pants.
Whether for treatment or another reason, Lin Lan’s willingness to expose herself in front of a man suggested that this man was special to her.
“Yes!” The female soldier held back a laugh and stood at attention as she responded.
Luo Ziling promptly gave her some instructions and then turned to Lin Lan, saying, “For the other scars, just apply the medicine I gave you, and they will fade over time. There’s no need for surgery, nor is it necessary!”
“She has injuries too, can you give her some of your medicine?” Lin Lan gestured to the soldier standing at attention.
“No problem,” Luo Ziling readily agreed, then glanced at the female soldier’s face and whispered, “I can also give her a prescription for her acne.”
“Ah? Really?” Shanque’s face lit up with delight, but upon catching Lin Lan’s unfriendly glance, she immediately composed herself.
Luo Ziling didn’t say more, simply wrote down a prescription, and handed it to “Shanque.”
He couldn’t help but silently criticize: it was as if Dragon Rise turns into a zoo, with each person’s nickname being an animal.
He was curious about what Lin Lan’s nickname might be but felt too embarrassed to ask.
“This is?” Shanque took the prescription, looked at it with confusion, and then realized what it was. Somewhat embarrassed, she said, “We can’t procure these medicines here!”
“Oh?! Is that so?” Luo Ziling thought for a moment, “Then I will bring them next time I come. Follow my instructions, and in a few months, all the acne marks will be gone, leaving you with a clean, fair face!”
“Really?” Shanque couldn’t contain her excitement.
Her face full of acne not only affected her looks but also handicapped her during missions, limiting the roles she could play. If she could get rid of the acne and have smooth, delicate skin, she would not only become more attractive but also have more convenience during missions—of course, she was overjoyed.
“Trust me, just like her!” Luo Ziling pointed at Lin Lan with a confident expression.
However, he received a fierce glare from Lin Lan in return and had no choice but to close his mouth, feeling deflated.
Seeing the two of them look like that, Shanque’s gossipy curiosity intensified, but in the end, she dared not ask anything.
“I’m going to get some sleep. Later, you will take him back,” Lin Lan instructed Shanque, “The commander is aware of this, and I will report to the battalion chief.”
“Yes!” Shanque responded, then asked Luo Ziling, “When will you be going back?”
“How about now?” Luo Ziling glanced at the time; it was already around two o’clock in the afternoon. It would take more than an hour to get there; he wouldn’t be back at school until after three.
He still wanted to ask Yang Qingyin out to have some fun!
Lin Lan signaled for Luo Ziling to wait outside; she wanted to give Shanque a few private instructions.
Luo Ziling didn’t refuse; he obediently left the room and waited in the living room outside.
About two minutes later, a very serious-faced Shanque came out.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you back!” Shanque said, and without waiting for Luo Ziling’s response, she headed outside first.
Luo Ziling immediately followed.
The car Shanque drove was the Hummer Lin Lan had used to pick them up in the morning.
After getting into the front passenger seat, Luo Ziling fastened his seatbelt, abiding by the traffic rules diligently.
Shanque was clearly more cheerful and lively than Lin Lan; it was unclear whether this was due to her personality or her fondness for talking, which led to her nickname Shanque.
“Are you the Young Divine Doctor who saved Kong Que?” As soon as the car left the mysterious compound, she started asking Luo Ziling. “What’s your name? Where are you from?”
“Kong Que?” Luo Ziling paused for a moment, but then quickly realized that this was Lin Lan’s codename and couldn’t help but laugh dumbly.
It was another bird species; it seemed that most people here had avian nicknames.
Realizing she had said too much, and seeing that Luo Ziling was apparently unaware of Lin Lan’s codename, Shanque could only blurt out, “Yes, the one who picks you up every day!”
“I just happened to be there, so I reached out to help,” Luo Ziling showed a slight shyness, “I just didn’t expect her to be a female special forces soldier!”
After glancing at Shanque, he quickly added, “I would’ve never guessed there were so many female special forces soldiers here!”
“So what!” Shanque said proudly, “Here, we don’t differentiate between men and women; we are all warriors!”
“I have great respect for you all,” Luo Ziling said sincerely, “Lin Lan was injured the last time, and I knew it must have been from pursuing fugitives or being shot for other reasons, so I didn’t hesitate to help her. Now that Lin Lan is in trouble, I will also do my best to assist her! By the way, my name is Luo Ziling.”
“She actually told you her real name?” Shanque looked very surprised and incredulous as she looked at Luo Ziling, then added meaningfully, “It seems she trusts you very much!”
“I saved her life!” Luo Ziling suddenly felt proud and curiously asked, “Don’t tell me you all don’t know each other’s real names?”
“I refuse to answer that question,” Shanque politely closed the topic, not satisfying Luo Ziling’s curiosity.
“Alright, I understand it’s confidential,” Luo Ziling smiled at Shanque in a show of understanding, then added, “Could you tell me some things that aren’t confidential?”
“What are you trying to find out? Surely not Kong Que’s marital status?” Shanque looked at Luo Ziling teasingly, “Are you trying to pursue her?”
