The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

Qiao Xinxin took the packets of medicine with both hands, carefully stuffed them into her cloth bag, smiled sweetly at Lin Zhengping, revealing a pair of cute dimples, and replied in a crisp voice:

"Don't worry, Teacher Lin! I'll definitely use these as my sleep aids when I get back, and I guarantee you won't be able to stump me no matter what you do on the test next time!"

"Haha, you little rascal, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

Lin Zhengping laughed heartily at her joke. He locked the warehouse door and, as he walked back, suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to ask:

"By the way, Xin Xin, how did things go with the logistics department about the bathhouse job? That job is exhausting, you can't do it anymore."

Qiao Xinxin lagged half a step behind him and obediently replied:

"Teacher Lin, I made things clear with Ms. Wang from the logistics department as soon as I arrived this morning. Ms. Wang is a very kind person. When she heard that I was here to learn skills from you, she was overjoyed and said that she would put up a notice to recruit new people today. However, before we find a suitable person, I have to help out with the night shift for a few days. One should finish what one starts."

After listening, Lin Zhengping nodded approvingly:

"Hmm, you're a good kid, you finish what you start and keep your word. Okay, then you'll have to work hard these next few days. After you finish reading during the day, don't be idle when you're on duty at night. Take those herbal medicine booklets with you. There are fewer people in the bathhouse at night, which is a good place to read books and memorize the properties of herbs."

"Okay, Ms. Lin, I'll do whatever you say!"

Qiao Xinxin held the strap of her cloth bag, her smile particularly radiant in the warm midday sun of winter.

"That's good. You can arrange your own time. You don't have to come every day, but when you do come, you need to be efficient." Lin Zhengping smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she could go back.

"Okay, Teacher Lin, I'll be going now. You should have lunch early too."

When Qiao Xinxin walked out of the military medical department building, the warm winter sun had already moved directly overhead.

She took a deep breath, the cool but clean air filling her lungs and making her feel much more awake. She looked down at the cloth bag she was holding; it was heavy, containing the samples of the medicinal herbs, as well as the notes and booklets that Teacher Lin had given her.

Strangely enough, Qiao Xinxin closed her eyes and her mind raced.

Just now in the medicinal herb warehouse, every movement and every look Lin Zhengping made while explaining angelica and coptis, even the texture and smell of those sliced ​​herbs, were as clear as a movie playing in her mind, without missing a single detail.

"When did my memory become so good?"

Qiao Xinxin herself was somewhat surprised and muttered to herself.

Although she had good grades in school, she was definitely not at the abnormal level of "memorizing something after just one look." She pondered this to herself as she walked along the tree-lined path.

After thinking it over, I guess it's still the effect of that spiritual spring water.

Since transmigrating into this body, she has made it a point to drink a small cup of spiritual spring water from her personal space every day without fail. At first, she only thought that the water would improve her physique, making her somewhat delicate body stronger, and incidentally, making her skin increasingly fair and soft. But unexpectedly, the spiritual spring water also developed her brain, and her memory improved day by day.

but……

Qiao Xinxin paused, her brows furrowing slightly.

She suddenly remembered that lately she sometimes felt like she couldn't remember things. The feeling was strange, as if a piece of memory in her brain was covered by a thick fog. Every time she tried to clear that fog, her head would throb, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Forget it, if I can't remember, I can't remember. It's probably not a big deal anyway."

Qiao Xinxin shook her head, trying to shake off the strange feeling of unease.

For the next while, there was no movement at the window.

There was neither the rustling sound of bath tickets being handed out nor anyone speaking.

Qiao Xinxin looked up with some confusion, her gaze passing over the wooden ticket window and meeting a pair of deep, gentle eyes.

Zhou Liguang stood straight in front of the window, staring intently at her.

Today he wore a dark gray thick woolen overcoat with the collar turned up neatly. His hair was obviously freshly cut, shorter and neater than usual, which made his angular face look even more spirited, making him look exactly like a resolute soldier.

Looking at Zhou Liguang's familiar yet somewhat complex face, the string that had been taut in Qiao Xinxin's mind suddenly snapped.

Just like a heavy rain washing away the grime on glass, the fog that had been shrouding her mind for days completely dissipated in that instant, and she finally remembered what she had been neglecting all this time!

She agreed to give Zhou Liguang a chance to get to know each other.

However, she also promised to get along well with Lu Baizhou.

During this period, because of Bai Zhengyuan's injury, the restaurant incident, the pharmaceutical factory registration, and studying medicine with Lin Zhengping, she was so busy that she was like a spinning top, working day and night without stopping to sort out her feelings.

But now, seeing Zhou Liguang standing right in front of her, Qiao Xinxin's heart sank.

She had already made her decision.

The racing heart and overwhelming excitement she felt when facing Lu Baizhou were undeniable. She liked Lu Baizhou.

Now that she had made up her mind, she couldn't drag things out with Zhou Liguang any longer. The longer she delayed, the more cruelly she would hurt this resolute man who had been seriously injured and had only just managed to stand up again.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xinxin took a deep breath, gently closed the medical book in her hand, sat up straight, and tried to make her voice sound as natural as possible:

"Brother Zhou, what brings you here? Don't you have training today?"

Zhou Liguang looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a gentle smile:

"Training ended early this afternoon, and I thought... I haven't seen you for several days, so I came to visit. I heard from Zhengyuan that you've been quite busy lately, going to the hospital to take care of him and also going to the military medical department to learn from Minister Lin. I was worried that you were overworking yourself and that your body couldn't handle it."

Hearing his undisguised concern in his words, Qiao Xinxin felt a pang of guilt, as if tiny needles were pricking her heart.

She opened her mouth, ready to steel herself and make things clear to him:

"Brother Zhou, actually I..."

"Ugh, I'm freezing! Quick, quick, let's buy tickets and go in for a soak! This weather is frigid!"

Just then, a noisy chatter and hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Three soldiers in military green training uniforms walked in, chatting and laughing, as they lifted the cotton curtain. They were still carrying the chill from outside.
