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

Knowing that Xia Qiuran was having difficulty walking, he picked her up in his arms and quickly walked towards the other side of the bushes.

They hid in some weeds, and sure enough, after a short while, Bai Yunyun peeked over.

"I clearly heard voices, so how come there's no one here?"

She did two hundred frog jumps, and her legs hurt much more than Xia Qiuran's. She rested for a while before walking back to her dormitory. As soon as she got here, she seemed to hear voices, and she mustered up her courage and walked over.

How could there be nothing there? Did she hear wrong?

Bai Yunyun didn't have time to think further. While she still had time, all she wanted to do was quickly get back to her dorm and soak her feet in hot water.

"Let's go out," Xia Qiuran said softly after Bai Yunyun left.

But Lu Zhenghan showed no intention of getting up, his eyes fixed on the front: "If we wait any longer, it will be troublesome if she turns back."

"Then I'll get up, you won't be able to hold on like this," Xia Qiuran said with some concern.

She was now sitting entirely on Lu Zhenghan's lap.

Lu Zhenghan had to bend his knees and squat halfway down, and while remaining still, he also had to steadily support her entire weight, which was undoubtedly very strenuous.

"It's okay, you're not heavy, you can sit here all night."

Lu Zhenghan leaned forward slightly, as if afraid that Xia Qiuran would be scratched by the weeds, and tried his best to hold her tightly in his arms.

A straight and broad back is like a wall that provides an overwhelming sense of security, keeping all dangers at bay.

In the narrow, secluded thicket of grass, Xia Qiuran could clearly feel the solid muscles in Lu Zhenghan's legs and the steady rise and fall of his chest.

Their burning body heat mingled tightly through the two layers of clothing. Xia Qiuran's arms were wrapped around Lu Zhenghan's neck, and in the moonlight, she could clearly see his deep eyes.

So bright and spirited, as if overflowing with starlight.

With his eyes slightly lowered, beneath a thin, firm layer of skin, his Adam's apple protruded like a small mountain, clean and sharp, carrying the wildness unique to soldiers.

In her previous life, she overheard her female colleagues discussing that the Adam's apple was a man's "vulnerability switch."

It's an extremely sensitive area; when you're being intimate, you can clearly hear muffled moans if you put your ear close to it.

That was the most moving sound in the world.

Xia Qiuran's cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out a finger to touch them.

It's hard, and its outline is so clear that it can feel like it's digging into your fingers.

Lu Zhenghan's body visibly trembled, and he subconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing sharply upwards, the rough, hard bone gliding across her fingers.

"Ranran, stop fooling around." Lu Zhenghan's voice was low and hoarse, as if it carried a hint of barely perceptible panic.

"I'm not making a fuss, I just want to touch it."

Xia Qiuran looked up and met Lu Zhenghan's obsidian-like eyes. She lightly brushed her fingertips together twice and replied softly.

"You're not allowed to touch that area."

Lu Zhenghan's half-squatting body remained steady, but a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. His dark eyes locked onto her, and a barely restrained heat surged within them.

"Why not? It's not a private area." Xia Qiuran then asked again.

Lu Zhenghan took a deep breath, his warm breath falling on Xia Qiuran's cheeks. His gaze was deep, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

He held Xia Qiuran even tighter with both hands, and his voice became even hoarser.

"If you keep moving around, I don't know what I might do."

Xia Qiuran smiled mischievously: "You think you can eat me?"

Then she buried her head in Lu Zhenghan's neck and scratched there several times with her fingernails.

This tingling sensation seemed to completely break through Lu Zhenghan's long-suppressed defenses, causing all his restraint to collapse.

The hand gripping Xia Qiuran's shoulder suddenly tightened, easily turning her around.

He lowered his burning eyes, their gazes met, and suddenly his lips covered hers.

Because he used too much force, Lu Zhenghan lost his footing and fell to the ground, while Xia Qiuran sat on his lap, feeling a hard object pressing against her.

The dense grass concealed the two of them, and the wind rustled softly through it.

With a light, delicate touch, Xia Qiuran unconsciously grabbed the front of his military uniform with both hands, responding in a subtle, almost evasive manner.

Slow and tender, the hard stones are tied high, and the grass is covered with water droplets.

...

Xia Qiuran's original wound on her lip hadn't healed yet, and a new one appeared the next day. This time, Lu Zhenghan refrained from biting her, but it was still red and swollen like a big cherry, which wasn't good either.

She rubbed the swelling for a long time after getting up in the morning, but it didn't go down. Seeing that it was time for drills, she didn't care about anything else, grabbed her military cap and ran out.

The male soldiers' training is much more intense than that of the female soldiers. They have to run five kilometers every morning, followed by pull-ups, obstacle courses, and combat physical training.

My legs are still incredibly sore, and after this whole routine, I probably won't even have the strength to eat.

Because of the heavy rain in the early morning, the training ground was full of muddy water, and every step made a "plop" sound underfoot.

Xia Qiuran and Bai Yunyun followed at the very back of the group.

Bai Yunyun glanced at Xia Qiuran out of the corner of her eye, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She clearly heard a sound last night, so how come there was no one there? So she asked as she ran.

"Xia Qiuran, you left before me last night, why didn't I see you when I got back to the dorm?"

Xia Qiuran didn't want to have any more conflict with Bai Yunyun, so she made up a random excuse to brush it off.

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

"Then why is your mouth like that again? Tell me, was the person in the crack in the wall yesterday you and your man? Who is he? Tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone else."

But Bai Yunyun persisted, as if she wouldn't give up until she got some answers.

Xia Qiuran found it laughable. What kind of good friends were they? How could she easily tell her something like this?

"I'm allergic to food, what do you mean by 'wall crack'? I don't understand what you're saying." So he replied casually.

Bai Yunyun: "No, that's not right. I've never had an allergic reaction before. Don't try to fool me."

Xia Qiuran got annoyed by Bai Yunyun's questions. Why was Bai Yunyun so difficult to deal with, just like a neighborhood auntie? Once she started asking, she wouldn't stop. It seemed she couldn't give her a friendly look. The next moment, she retorted coldly.

"Dr. Bai, are we that close? Talking is not allowed during training. You don't want to be punished again, do you?"

Bai Yunyun choked.

"you…"

She was angry but didn't know how to retort. So what if she kissed a man? What's so great about that? Sooner or later, she would find that lover and let everyone laugh at this shameless bastard.

Finally, seizing the opportunity, she tripped Xia Qiuran with her leg, causing him to tumble over.

Mud splattered all over Xia Qiuran instantly, and her bottom got completely dirty when she sat on the ground. Her knees and wrists were also injured from hitting the bricks next to her.

"Xia Qiuran, you can even fall on flat ground. Looks like you really need more practice." Bai Yunyun sneered, then ran forward with the team.
