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

"Squad Leader Wei."

"arrive."

"If we follow your theory, does that mean everyone I've defeated should be kicked out of here?" Lu Zhenghan continued.

Wei Guangming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands. He was extremely nervous and quickly said...

"Commander, you're even more capable than the King of Soldiers. This isn't fair. If it were like that, our entire regiment would probably be wiped out."

"So you knew all this? Did you consider this when you had that soldier on the ground fight Xia Qiuran?"

Lu Zhenghan's face was grim, and the chilling aura emanating from him made Wei Guangming dare not utter another word.

"It's true that the military values ​​strength, but bullying the weak is not a skill. If I find out about something like this again, you can forget about being a squad leader."

"Yes, Commander." Wei Guangming, with beads of sweat streaming down his forehead, immediately responded loudly.

Lu Zhenghan continued, "You and the person on the ground each need to write a 5,000-word self-criticism. After you finish writing it, you need to read it aloud in front of everyone at the summary meeting. In addition, each of you will need to do an extra 10,000 meters of training every day for the next week."

"Yes."

After Lu Zhenghan walked away, Wei Guangming dared to relax a little and quickly helped Xu Yong and Zhang Xiaoliang up. After that, he even had to think twice before speaking loudly to Xia Qiuran.

Lu Zhenghan was reprimanding him for mismanagement, but for some reason, he always felt that Lu Zhenghan had ulterior motives and was being too harsh on Xu Yong.

Especially the expression on his face when he made the move—it was as if he had a grudge against someone.

Could it be because Xu Yong wanted to kick Xia Qiuran that he acted that way?

He dared not guess anymore, and warned himself that he must learn from this experience in the future.

...

"Commander, that kick you gave us was so satisfying! You didn't see how scared they were!"

On the way back, Xiao Zhang kept talking behind us.

Putting a veteran in a fight against a military doctor who's not even twenty years old—how could he even think of that? It's incredibly malicious.

"Pay more attention to the situation in each department in the future, and report to me immediately if there are any similar situations," Lu Zhenghan said calmly.

"Yes," Xiao Zhang replied immediately.

Even without Xia Qiuran, he would have intervened anyway, but he would never have done it himself.

The purpose of distinguishing between strong and weak is to better enhance combat effectiveness. However, if a soldier only sees strength and weakness and has no camaraderie, what is the difference between him and a machine? What he wants is a soldier with feelings and loyalty, a flesh-and-blood warrior, not a cold shell that only cares about its own strength.

After finishing his work for the day, Lu Zhenghan returned to the temporary family compound. Ever since that incident, his grandparents seemed to have become even stricter with him, forcing him to come back to stay almost every day.

As she entered the house, Jin Yingyue, who was busy in the kitchen, peeked in and immediately said something.

"You're back! Go wash your hands and eat."

"it is good."

After washing his hands, Lu Zhenghan went to the kitchen to help Jin Yingyue serve rice and dishes. Jin Yingyue made a total of three dishes today.

Sweet and sour fish, honey-glazed pumpkin, and sugar-fried corn kernels—all sweet dishes.

Lu Zhenghan glanced at it but didn't say anything. He only ate no more than three bites of food and finished a bowl of rice.

After dinner, Lu Zhenghan returned to his room. Jin Yingyue and Lu Chuan exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly filled with certainty.

It seems that Lu Zhenghan's taste hasn't changed; he still doesn't like sweets. So, there's only one possibility left if he takes the cake: he gave it away. And 90% of people who love cake are women.

After a while, Jin Yingyue brought in cut fruit and walked into Lu Zhenghan's room.

"grandmother."

Lu Zhenghan, who was writing something, immediately put away his notebook and spoke when Jin Yingyue came in.

"What are you busy with?" Jin Yingyue asked with a smile as she placed the fruit on the table.

Lu Zhenghan replied casually, "It's nothing, just some unimportant trifles."

Jin Yingyue didn't ask any further questions, but pushed up her glasses and asked again.

"Zhenghan, what's your plan to go back and see Nie Ru?"

Regardless of whether Lu Zhenghan has someone he likes or not, the most important thing now is being with Nie Ru.

Upon hearing this matter mentioned again, Lu Zhenghan's upturned lips immediately fell:

"Grandma, I don't like her. This forced tying of us together won't end well."

He hadn't figured out how to convince his grandparents about this, but no matter what, he would absolutely not agree to be with Nie Ru.

Because the door was open, Lu Chuan heard Lu Zhenghan's words and angrily slammed the teacup onto the table again.

Jin Yingyue immediately gave him a wink, signaling him not to speak, and Lu Chuan then turned his face back.

"So who do you like? Can you tell Grandma?" Jin Yingyue wasn't angry and continued to ask.

She knows her own grandson well; he responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and applying pressure will only backfire.

Upon hearing his grandmother's question, Xia Qiuran's name was already on the tip of his tongue, but reason pulled him back. Fearing that the incident of failing his hospital internship would happen again, he needed to be completely certain that there was no danger before announcing their relationship.

"I don't know yet, but I'll encounter it eventually."

Seeing Lu Zhenghan's expression, Jin Yingyue smiled slightly. She didn't say no directly, which suggested there must be something going on, so she asked again.

"You don't know? Who did you give the cake to during the day?"

Lu Zhenghan felt a little guilty when asked this question. He had noticed that Xia Qiuran hadn't eaten enough this morning, so he thought he would go home and find some snacks for her. He happened to see a cream cake on the table.

Thinking that Xia Qiuran loves sweets, he would definitely like this, so he took it out without much thought. He didn't expect his grandmother to ask him about it.

"I didn't eat much in the cafeteria this morning, so I ate that piece of cake, Grandma. I'll definitely buy you a big one when I get my cake voucher," Lu Zhenghan replied, turning his head.

Jin Yingyue smiled again when she saw that Lu Zhenghan didn't dare to look her in the eye. Her grandson had always had this problem since he was a child; he didn't dare to look people in the eye when he was lying.

"Zheng Han, it's just a piece of cake. It doesn't matter who eats it. I'm not that petty. Let me guess who that person is."

"Is it Dr. Bai from the infirmary?"

Upon hearing this name, a hint of disgust flashed in Lu Zhenghan's eyes: "How could that be, Grandma? I've never even considered her."

Jin Yingyue: "Which female soldier from the Literature and Art Department is that?"

Lu Zhenghan: "No."

"Then it can't be Dr. Xia, can it?" Jin Yingyue continued.

Lu Zhenghan's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became erratic.

"No, Grandma, please don't guess. I really ate the cake. I'll definitely bring it back to you when I have a boyfriend." After saying that, she turned her head away.

"No need for later. I've already forwarded your leave application to Political Commissar Shi. Once your leave is approved, you can come home with me."

Lu Chuan didn't have much patience and shouted after listening for a while.

Although he usually agrees with democracy and has no class prejudice, once things escalate to the level of national security and interests, he puts everything else aside. Even if his grandson is not happy in the future, it is worthwhile because the country has gained talents like Nie Ru who have solved real problems for the country.
