The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

The patrol team finally left, and Lu Zhenghan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With his last ounce of reason, he helped Xia Qiuran up, then quickly started the vehicle.

The car was quickly driven to the hospital building.

"Xia Qiuran, we're in the dorm. Wake up."

Lu Zhenghan called out softly twice, but Xia Qiuran showed no signs of waking up.

Although it was very late, the hospital was still bustling with people and brightly lit.

The dormitory is located upstairs from the hospital, so it's obviously unrealistic for him to carry Xiang Xia Qiuran upstairs now.

If someone with ulterior motives sees this, they will probably make up stories about it.

But it wouldn't be appropriate for a lone man and woman to spend the night in the car.

"Xia Qiuran, Xia Qiuran." Lu Zhenghan tried to raise his voice and called out to Xia Qiuran twice more.

"Don't move, I want to sleep." Xia Qiuran pouted coquettishly.

Bathed in moonlight, like a rose, quiet and charming, her gently closed eyes reflected a sweet dream.

Lu Zhenghan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to turn his head away.

Then he slowly pressed the accelerator to park the car on the side of the road where it wouldn't get in the way, and then took off his military uniform jacket and covered Xia Qiuran with it.

As he was taking off his clothes, the little tiger sachet fell out of his pocket. Lu Zhenghan held it in his hand and rubbed it for a while, then suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He adjusted the seat distance slightly and leaned back slowly. The light shone through the car window onto its high, straight nose, highlighting its three-dimensional and handsome profile.

A wave of fatigue washed over me, my eyelids drooped, and my breathing gradually slowed down.

The quiet atmosphere seemed to bring a sense of peace.

After an unknown amount of time, everything around became completely dark, and even the chirping of insects ceased completely.

Xia Qiuran raised the back of her hand and rubbed her eyes. Then, in the faint moonlight, she looked at everything in front of her, and her consciousness returned to most of its previous state.

How could she have slept in the car with Lu Zhenghan? And why didn't Lu Zhenghan take her back to her dorm?

Is it...

A not-so-good thought flashed through her mind, but she immediately dismissed it.

No, there's probably no one more upright than Lu Zhenghan in the world. He's definitely not that kind of person.

But she was clearly covered by his clothes, how could the two of them spend the night alone in the car? If this were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably be for at least three years.

Xia Qiuran's slight movement quickly woke up Lu Zhenghan, who was half asleep.

"You're awake."

Lu Zhenghan looked at Xia Qiuran, his eyes still seemingly filled with unresolved emotions.

"Commander, how did we get here?" Xia Qiuran asked softly and cautiously.

Upon hearing this question, the series of scenes from just now suddenly flooded back into my mind.

A complex emotion flashed in his dark eyes.

"You were drunk and refused to get out of the car when we got to the hospital," Lu Zhenghan said simply.

Xia Qiuran rubbed her forehead, trying hard to recall what had just happened.

It seemed like someone was calling her name, but she was too sleepy to respond.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't expect that the yellow wine would have such a strong aftereffect," Xia Qiuran said somewhat embarrassedly.

"That jar of wine is a vintage wine that Dean Gao has treasured for over ten years. People who can't drink will get drunk after just one cup. Don't try to be a hero next time." Lu Zheng said coldly, recalling the image of Xia Qiuran and Liu Yu drinking together.

"Yes, I promise I won't do it again next time."

Xia Qiuran quickly agreed. She was gradually remembering the things that happened in her dream, but unfortunately she couldn't remember them all, so she had to ask again.

"By the way, Captain, I remember touching something really hard. It wasn't chocolate, it was salty. What was it?"

chocolate?

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghan's gaze paused briefly.

The soft touch on his lower abdomen made his ear tips blush again.

"It's nothing. You seemed to be dreaming about your mother while you were sleeping, and you kept calling out 'Mom'," Lu Zhenghan said, downplaying the issue.

mom.

Memories flooded back, and she did indeed see her mother's final moments of illness in her dream. Xia Qiuran didn't want to recall those memories anymore, so she simply stopped asking.

Moreover, the soreness in her lower abdomen was getting stronger and stronger, and Xia Qiuran subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

She glanced at her watch; it was already past midnight. If she went back tomorrow morning, she could explain to her colleagues that she had slept at the military base last night. But if she went back to the hospital now and ran into a colleague she knew while using the restroom, she wouldn't be able to explain it. Besides, going back in the middle of the night might implicate Lu Zhenghan.

No, even if I wet my pants, I absolutely cannot go back to the hospital to use the toilet.

Oh right, I remember there seems to be a public restroom around here.

"Commander, I want to get off the vehicle," Xia Qiuran continued.

"It will be dawn in three or four hours, don't go back to the hospital yet."

Lu Zhenghan assumed Xia Qiuran wanted to go back to her hospital dormitory and answered her.

"I'm not going back to the hospital." Xia Qiuran squeezed her legs together tightly, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Lu Zhenghan glanced at the pitch-black outside and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"I need to use the restroom," Xia Qiuran said, looking embarrassed.

Lu Zhenghan then realized that he had drunk so much rice wine, and the only reason he could get out of the car at this time was because of this.

"It's too dark outside, I'll go with you." Lu Zhenghan tightened his chin and quickly opened the car door and got out.

There were no streetlights or any lighting equipment at that time, and it was so dark outside that you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

Moreover, there are patrol teams at night. If the car lights are turned on directly, the target will be too obvious, and attracting the patrol team will be troublesome.

Xia Qiuran opened the car door and took a look at the sky outside. The scene was just like the one in the horror movie. This time, she did not refuse Lu Zhenghan's suggestion at all.

Lu Zhenghan stopped in his tracks outside the public women's restroom.

"Can you do it yourself?"

"Yes, I'm fine with that."

Xia Qiuran felt her way along the wall as she walked inside. Although she said that, she really had no idea what to expect.

At that time, public toilets were all dry toilets, with four or five pits in a row, and deep manure pits below. If you were not careful and stepped into one, you would really become a smelly carcass.

She regretted marrying Zhao Feng to death in her past life. If she were to fall into a cesspool and drown again in this life, she would truly be terrified of being reborn.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, but she couldn't just not go to the toilet. Xia Qiuran held onto the wall and cautiously probed forward with her feet until she found the toilet stall in front of her.

At this moment, he truly understood the bitterness and helplessness of blind people. They really couldn't see anything at all and relied entirely on their senses.

"ah."

"What is that?!"

Xia Qiuran felt as if her fingers had touched something soft. Startled, she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly withdrew her hand.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Lu Zhenghan asked quickly upon hearing the commotion inside.

"It's nothing. I think I touched some kind of bug when I was walking along the wall," Xia Qiuran replied.

There are trees along the roadside, and caterpillars and such are often found there. It's not uncommon for there to be bugs in the toilets.

Xia Qiuran wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her still trembling little hands, constantly reassuring herself not to be afraid.

It's just an insect; it won't eat you.

Summoning my courage, I continued forward.

"ah."

Suddenly, her feet lost their footing again, and she felt completely out of balance. Overwhelmed by fear, she screamed out involuntarily.
