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

Xia Qiuran understood at this point. For Lu Zhenghan to say such a thing, the result must already be out, and it was not very optimistic. Since it was fate, she could only accept it calmly.

If she continues to look gloomy, wouldn't Lu Zhenghan, who has worked so hard for her, feel even more guilty?

"It's okay, feel free to say whatever you want. My greatest strength is my optimism," Xia Qiuran said with a smile.

Lu Zhenghan stopped what he was doing and slowly said, "The result is that your internship evaluation is unsatisfactory, and you need to return to the army as a reserve soldier."

After speaking, she lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes trembling in panic, like thin feathers fluttering in the wind, quickly concealing the surging shame in her eyes.

His cheeks were tense, his usual coldness gone, revealing a hint of helplessness.

The original requirement was that Xia Qiuran must be expelled, and he went to great lengths to achieve this result.

But he knew in his heart that this was not Xia Qiuran's fault. Even if Xia Qiuran was just an ordinary soldier, she should not be treated like this. But now all the evidence was complete, and Bai Yunyun had a legitimate reason. Even he could not protect Xia Qiuran at will.

Although Xia Qiuran had already prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but feel a little down when she heard the result. She had worked so hard for so long, thinking that she could finally gain a foothold in this city, but she didn't expect to be brought back to square one.

"I was confident that Bai Yunyun wouldn't actually get hurt, so why did I do that to her wrist? How could it suddenly turn out like that?"

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment and then spoke first. Although she disapproved of Bai Yunyun's character, if the injury was indeed caused by her, she would definitely take full responsibility, apologize to her, and provide medical treatment without shirking her duty.

"Bai Yunyun's hand injury was probably intentionally caused by herself. The attending doctor guessed it based on experience, but it's just a guess and there's no evidence, so..." Lu Zhenghan said softly.

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, Xia Qiuran roughly understood, but she was quite impressed that Bai Yunyun dared to be so ruthless towards her.

With such determination, there are so many things he could do; if he applied that determination to his career, he would probably have been promoted several ranks by now.

Xia Qiuran: "Every cloud has a silver lining. It's just a pity about this spot. If it were someone else, they might have passed by now."

"You earned this spot through your own abilities. This time it was an accident. Next time there's another opportunity, I will definitely recommend you first."

Lu Zhenghan's voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After speaking, he looked at Xia Qiuran, closed his mouth, and then said somewhat awkwardly.

"Qiu Ran, you can take your anger out on me when you're upset."

This was the first time he had called Xia Qiuran "Qiuran." He had never comforted a female comrade before, and he didn't know if it was right to say it that way.

Xia Qiuran just called him "Brother Zhenghan," so should he call him "Qiuran" now? Or should he call him something more intimate?

I once heard from soldiers in another dormitory on the same floor that when they were dating, they would sometimes call their partners "baby" or just call them by the last character of their names.

However, these titles were all too frivolous, and Lu Zhenghan found it difficult to say them aloud. So he simply dropped the surname and addressed him by his given name. It seems he will have to get used to it in the future.

Xia Qiuran didn't show any special expression after hearing this. Most of her colleagues at the hospital called her Qiuran. Now that she and Lu Zhenghan were officially a couple, of course she could be called that.

"Being sad won't solve anything, it will only add to my sorrow, so I'm not going to be sad."

"Actually, this result is much better than I expected. I thought you were going to send me home."

Xia Qiuran didn't want to continue talking about this unpleasant topic. She first smiled slightly at the corners of her eyes, and then gave Lu Zhenghan a smile.

Her eyelashes fluttered gently with her breath as she held two soft little fans. Her clean and sweet smile made her face look warm and radiant, as if all the light around her was shining on her alone.

Lu Zhenghan's gaze was fixed on Xia Qiuran. His breathing slowed down unconsciously. The miscellaneous things that had been swirling in his mind vanished instantly. His heart felt slightly numb, as if it had been softened by warm water. It was as if something deep within his heart was quietly breaking through the soil and beginning to ripple in a chaotic way.

It took a long time for him to come to his senses.

"I will never send you back," he said unconsciously, looking at Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran felt a little embarrassed by the gaze, thinking to herself, "When did Lu Zhenghan learn to say such cheesy things?"

She lowered her head slightly, and the braid on her shoulder slipped down to her chest, gently brushing against her fair neck and conforming to her perfect curves.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, a pink that seeped from beneath her fair skin, gradually spreading throughout her complexion. She subconsciously bit her lip, her lower lip held between her pearly teeth. When she released it, a shallow, wet mark was left, making her already full lips even more alluring, like ripe cherries, juicy and ready to be picked.

"Commander, could you help me organize this first?" Xia Qiuran said, picking up a stack of documents beside her to change the subject.

Commander?

Upon hearing this address, Lu Zhenghan's thoughts returned and he suddenly paused. Shouldn't it be "Brother Zhenghan"? Why did he call him that again? Did he say something wrong just now?

"Qiu Ran, if you think I did something wrong, you can tell me, and I will correct it." A hint of anxiety flashed in Lu Zhenghan's eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You've always done a great job," Xia Qiuran replied quickly.

She has a strong sense of responsibility, is capable and always takes the lead in everything, is emotionally stable, loyal and devoted, and most importantly, she is better looking than a celebrity and has a great figure.

Honestly, she couldn't think of anything that such a perfect man needed to change.

Lu Zhenghan's Adam's apple bobbed twice before he finally spoke, albeit somewhat haltingly.

"Then why don't you call me 'Brother Zhenghan' instead?"

Xia Qiuran stopped writing. She didn't expect Lu Zhenghan to fall for this. He liked being called "brother." She never thought he was such a closet pervert.

But this nickname is too cheesy. It's okay to use it jokingly, but if she had to use it every day, I really wouldn't be able to say it.

"I was just joking."

Lu Zhenghan pursed his lips, a hint of disappointment on his face, but since he had already brought this up, there had to be some progress, so he continued.

"But we're in a relationship, calling us 'leader' would be too formal."

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment, then suggested again, "Then shall I call you Brother Lu?"

"That's too formal." Lu Zhenghan's eyes darkened, clearly displeased with the form of address.

Xia Qiuran: "Then, Brother Zheng Han?"

"Still estranged."

Lu Zhenghan then stopped beating around the bush and directly gave Xia Qiuran the option.

"How about we just call him Brother Zhenghan or Zhenghan directly?"

Xia Qiuran thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll still call you Brother Zhenghan."

After all, she and Lu Zhenghan are seven years apart, so calling him by his name directly seems a bit impolite.

"Okay, then I'll call you Ranran when we're not around."

Lu Zhenghan nodded in satisfaction, a gentle light appearing in his originally cold eyes.
