"My father is seriously injured this time. You can ask the attending physician if you don't believe me. You also know that my older brother has a leg problem, and my mother doesn't know anything. Now I'm the only one left at home. Please have mercy and let me go this time."

Xia Qiuran was extremely anxious. Lu Zhenghan and Bai Xia were both very important figures in Shangchun City. Now they were on Bai Yunyun's side. If they joined forces to deal with her, a girl from the countryside, it would be a piece of cake.

Oh dear, I was so careless just now. How could I not have thought of that? What would her parents do if she really got arrested and detained for a few days?

Seeing that Lu Zhenghan had not spoken yet and his expression was becoming more and more serious, she became even more certain of her guess. After thinking for a moment, she spoke again, but her voice was no longer as sharp as before.

"Or I should go apologize to Bai Yunyun, and ask her to break my wrist too, and then let her beat me up to vent my anger."

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him; a great man can bend and stretch.

Xia Qiuran gritted her teeth. What did it matter if she lowered her head for now? After saying that, she put down the clothes in her hand and went to find Bai Yunyun. At this moment, Lu Zhenghan reacted and quickly grabbed Xia Qiuran's arm and stood in front of her.

He said it very seriously.

Xia Qiuran, I want to tell you that I like you.

The air froze instantly.

Xia Qiuran stood frozen, like a statue, blinking as if she were dreaming. She subconsciously pinched her arm.

It hurts!

It seems that if he wasn't dreaming, then Lu Zhenghan was sleepwalking.

"Commander, please don't scare me. I'm going back now."

Xia Qiuran quickly hung the last piece of clothing on the clothesline and was about to leave.

She thought to herself, "Has Lu Zhenghan gone mad? How could he say something like that?"

Just a few days ago, he treated her like a class enemy. How could things have changed so quickly? Is it because they broke up and his grandparents are pressuring him to get married again, so he came up with this plan to trick her into going back and pretending to be his girlfriend?

That's too cunning. She didn't want to get involved in this mess again and absolutely refused to agree.

"Xia Qiuran, I'm serious."

Lu Zhenghan stepped forward and blocked Xia Qiuran's path again. Although his cheeks and neck were still flushed, his tone was much calmer than before. He took a deep breath, as if he had used up all the courage he had in his life.

"Xia Qiuran, the reason I was so cold and serious towards you before was because I was jealous and petty."

After Lu Zhenghan finished speaking, he paused for a moment, feeling that it wasn't such a big deal to say what he had been afraid to admit or didn't want to admit before.

"I overheard you making a phone call in the interrogation room before. You said you had someone you liked in the army, a soldier like you, who was also very handsome. I was incredibly jealous at the time. Later, you left with Zhao Feng, and you even sat on the back of his bicycle. I was so angry that I almost went crazy."

"I came to see Bai Xia today because I want her to sign your internship certificate so that your internship can end early and you can go back to the army immediately and never see Zhao Feng again."

Lu Zhenghan finished speaking in one breath, and as soon as he finished, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. He kept glancing at Xia Qiuran, as if waiting for her answer.

Xia Qiuran noticed the loophole in Lu Zhenghan's words. Since she heard that he also had someone he liked in the army, wouldn't going back to the army make him jealous too? So she couldn't help but ask.

"Well, you heard it too, I also have someone I like in the army. So what's the difference between being in the hospital or in the army?"

"That's true, but Zhao Feng is a bad person. I'd rather you marry the guy in the army than jump into a fire pit." Lu Zhenghan's deep eyes calmly fell on Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran subconsciously took a step back, feeling a chill run down her spine. Was this still the aloof and unapproachable Lu Zhenghan she knew? He was actually confessing his feelings to her. This felt so surreal.

"Then why didn't you say so before, and why are you saying it now?" Xia Qiuran asked again.

He had just forced her to apologize to Bai Yunyun, and now he was saying he liked her. She found this contrast too absurd.

"Because Dean Gao just told me that all of this is a misunderstanding, that you don't have anyone you like, and that I was too arbitrary and narrow-minded, that I didn't even have the most basic judgment. Also, the family member of the bed next to your father just said that it was Bai Yunyun who provoked you first, which is why you were so agitated."

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry."

Lu Zhenghan stood still, his head slightly lowered. Compared to his usual cold and serious demeanor, he had lost much of his sharpness, and his tone was serious yet sincere.

Xia Qiuran's eyelashes trembled slightly, her heart pounding like a small beast.

Judging from Lu Zhenghan's expression, he didn't seem to want to lie, but how could they be together? Their family background, social status, and experiences were all unsuitable. Although Lu Zhenghan's grandparents were very kind, he still had parents and relatives. Dating was a matter between two people, but marriage was not. If they really reached the point of discussing marriage, they would definitely face a lot of trouble.

She hates trouble the most and never wants to deal with marital problems again in her life.

But if she directly refuses, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Lu Zhenghan? Wouldn't he get angry and punish her again?

"So, what is my punishment for this?"

Xia Qiuran did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject and asked.

Romantic relationships are minor matters; the most important thing is her job and future.

"If you want to stay at the hospital, then stay here after the unified internship ends. If you want to return to the army as soon as possible, then I'll go talk to the hospital director," Lu Zhenghan replied immediately. "And regarding Bai Yunyun, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Xia Qiuran was relieved after hearing this. It meant that everything was alright and he could stay in the army and continue to be a military doctor.

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, she picked up the basin and headed back to her ward.

Xia Qiuran.

"Then we..."

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhenghan immediately called out to her, his whole body tense, his eyes filled with barely concealed nervousness. The most important thing hadn't been answered yet, but the matter had already been brought up, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it today.

Xia Qiuran glanced at Lu Zhenghan, cleared her throat, and asked cautiously.

"If I say I disagree, will you kick me out or punish me?"

"Of course not." Lu Zhenghan immediately shook his head firmly.

Xia Qiuran relaxed her shoulders, quietly exhaling the breath she had been holding in, as if relieved of a great burden, and turned to Lu Zhenghan to speak.

I disagree.
