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

"It's too cold in the classroom. If you two want to sleep, you might as well go back to the dormitory," Jin Yingyue continued.

Bai Yunyun blushed at the words and quickly got up from the table to sit up straight.

She thought quickly, but couldn't come up with any reason, so she could only blame the slovenly soldier next to her for falling asleep.

"Teacher Jin, I didn't mean to. It's because this person fell asleep first that I got sleepy."

She thought to herself that the soldier looked so slovenly and dull that he probably wouldn't dare to contradict her.

"Go sit in the back right away, don't keep me from studying."

After saying that, he gave the soldier a disapproving look.

To everyone's surprise, although the soldier looked slovenly, his temper was completely opposite to his appearance, and he immediately retorted to Bai Yunyun.

"Dr. Bai, I was so annoyed by your teeth grinding that I covered my ears, which is why I fell asleep. Besides, you were the one who sat next to me, so if anyone should leave, it should be you who goes to the back."

Bai Yunyun blushed even more. She never expected that a slovenly soldier would dare to talk back to her. She was a dignified military doctor, dressed so beautifully. How dare this dirty thing do that?

"Teacher Jin, I'm going back now. The people here really need to learn some culture. They're all so rude and barbaric." Bai Yunyun said this and quickly ran out of the classroom.

Jin Yingyue pushed up her glasses and silently shook her head.

"Truly, a rough gem is hard to polish."

Even if someone makes a mistake but doesn't have the courage to admit it and insists on blaming others, she definitely won't be able to teach them properly, even if they continue to study.

"Alright, let's continue the lesson."

After the brief interruption, Jin Yingyue continued her lecture.

...

After class, Xia Qiuran quickly took her textbook and went to Jin Yingyue's side.

All those questions that have been piling up, I must ask them all clearly today, so that Lu Zhenghan won't give me a hard time next time he comes to class.

Jin Yingyue didn't give perfunctory answers and provided detailed explanations for Xia Qiuran's questions.

But halfway through her speech, Jin Yingyue suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes and almost fell over.

Xia Qiuran quickly helped Jin Yingyue up and checked her pulse.

"The pulse is weak and thready, indicating a deficiency of vital energy and a failure of Yang to rise. Fortunately, it's not a serious problem."

"Grandma, you must be very tired. I suggest you go back and rest."

Jin Yingyue's chest heaved heavily, indicating that she was really uncomfortable, so she didn't refuse Xia Qiuran's suggestion.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Xia."

Jin Yingyue and her husband did not return to the guesthouse, but temporarily stayed in an empty family compound that the army had not yet allocated. When Xia Qiuran dropped them off, Lu Chuan was playing chess in the yard when he saw Jin Yingyue running back like this.

While Xia Qiuran was pouring water, she quickly gave Lu Chuan a wink.

Lu Zhenghan's condition has been noticeably off these past two days, especially when he mentions Xia Qiuran. Without even guessing, it's clear that the two of them have had a falling out. Today is the perfect opportunity, and as her grandmother, he naturally can't stand idly by.

So he took Xia Qiuran home under the pretext of feeling unwell, but he didn't know if his grandson, who was busy all day, would be able to come back today.

"Grandma, I've checked on you. You seem a bit weak. You're probably tired from teaching today. You'll be fine after a rest. I'll head back now."

Xia Qiuran placed the poured hot water on Jin Yingyue's bedside table and said.

"Oh dear, but I not only feel dizzy, I feel terrible all over."

Upon hearing Xia Qiuran say she was leaving, Jin Yingyue quickly rubbed her forehead and said...

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the infirmary and get the needles so I can give you acupuncture to relax your muscles and bones."

"No, no, I'm terrified of needles."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yingyue immediately shook her head, and Lu Chuan also chimed in to smooth things over.

"Xia, your grandma has been afraid of needles since she was young, so it's best to avoid using this method."

"Why don't you stay here and keep your grandma company today? I don't know anything about medicine, and it would be troublesome if she had another attack in the middle of the night."

Stay?

Xia Qiuran glanced at the house. It wasn't that she was afraid of getting tired and didn't want to stay, but this family compound had a two-bedroom layout, and she wondered if Lu Zhenghan usually lived here as well.

But Grandma wasn't feeling well, and it wouldn't be good for her to leave so abruptly, so he replied.

"Alright then, I'll sit here. Grandma, if you feel unwell, just tell me."

"No need, it's too tiring to sit here. There's an empty room over there, you can stay there tonight."

To everyone's surprise, Jin Yingyue spoke directly.

Xia Qiuran blinked, a little embarrassed, "That's the commander's room, isn't it inappropriate for me to go there?"

"No, you're overthinking it. Zheng Han usually lives in the dormitory, which is just an ordinary room that no one lives in."

After Jin Yingyue finished speaking, she saw that Xia Qiuran was still somewhat hesitant, so she continued.

"There are some of Zheng Han's things in that room. I think there's a tape recorder and a cassette tape he made. His pronunciation is very standard. You should listen to it. It will definitely be very helpful in improving your English."

She knew Xia Qiuran really wanted to learn English, so this must be very appealing to her. After saying that, she continued to add to the story.

"Don't worry, Zheng Han won't come back. Besides, you two are a couple, so what's wrong with just listening to English tapes?"

Xia Qiuran felt a little guilty. Lu Zhenghan disliked her so much now, and he might suddenly end this fake relationship one day. Was it really a good idea to listen to his tape recorder at this time?

But then I thought again, it would be a shame to miss such a great opportunity to learn English.

Grandma had no reason to lie to him, and Lu Zhenghan probably wouldn't be coming back today, so why not go and listen? As long as he didn't break anything.

Xia Qiuran stayed in the end and went to the empty room, where she found only a bed and a set of table and chairs.

Simple and clean, it perfectly suits Lu Zhenghan's taste.

She put the tape into the tape recorder and gently pressed the play button.

Close your eyes and you'll feel as if you're immersed in a pure English environment. The intonation is natural and fluent, and the emphasis and pauses are just right. There's no sense of deliberate imitation. Just by listening to these recordings, it's really hard to tell that the speaker is not a foreigner.

She then flipped through the English notebook that was lying to the side, and upon closer inspection, she found that it was very comprehensive, with Lu Zhenghan filling in the missing notes at the end.

She was too impulsive not to accept these things that day. If he had these English grades, he could have improved his English much faster.

Xia Qiuran took out her fountain pen, intending to copy it again, but when she removed the pen cap, the blue-black ink suddenly splashed onto her clothes.

She had already moved all her clothes from the military barracks to the hospital dormitory, and now she only had this one piece of clothing left, which was now dirty. What was she going to do?

After glancing at Jin Yingyue and her husband, who had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep, Xia Qiuran decided to clean the stain first.

Fortunately, it's only a small part of the front, so washing just this part is enough.

After washing, Xia Qiuran quickly put her clothes on, not caring that they were still wet.

While listening to the recording, I unknowingly leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

It wasn't until around 2 a.m. that Lu Zhenghan finished his work and returned. The dormitory gate was already closed. Lu Zhenghan didn't want to bother the dormitory manager so late, so he decided to go back to his grandparents' house tonight.
