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

One of the announcers at the radio station was the first to retrieve his belongings. Without saying anything, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "Dr. Bai, since it's a misunderstanding, I'll head back now."

Then, apart from the few who left earlier, most of the others took back what they had brought with them.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Nobody knows the specifics of Bai Yunyun's family situation, so it's best not to offend her if possible.

"Dr. Bai, why are you still angry? Everyone was just joking with you. If you want us to take it back, then we'll take it back." Seeing that the situation had changed, Sun Rong quickly walked over with a smile and picked up the things she had put on the ground.

But then Bai Yunyun stepped on it, staring at her fiercely.

"Put it down. Did I tell you to take it?"

She incited so many people to bully her; now she thinks she can get away unscathed? No way!

Sun Rong had no choice but to put down what she was holding for the time being and said with a smile.

"Dr. Bai, what are you doing? We're comrades, not enemies. You really want to burn all this stuff?"

Bai Yunyun curled her lips slightly: "Yes, I'm going to burn it all now, do you have a problem with that?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare have that."

Sun Rong dared not say anything more and could only watch helplessly as Bai Yunyun trampled those things back and forth with the soles of her shoes.

"Dr. Bai, it's time, let's go," Xia Qiuran said from the side.

Seeing so many perfectly good things being ruined by Bai Yunyun, she felt a pang of guilt. Sun Rong and the others had already learned their lesson and probably wouldn't dare to bully people like that again. Saying she would burn them all was just an angry outburst; who in the army would dare to light such a large fire?

Then he led Bai Yunyun toward the door.

On the bus, Bai Yunyun glanced at Xia Qiuran several times, opening her mouth several times but no sound came out.

"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush," Xia Qiuran said directly after glancing to the side.

"I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted." Bai Yunyun cleared her throat before speaking.

"When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity, so what's the big deal?"

Xia Qiuran looked indifferent. Having lived a lifetime, she naturally wouldn't stick to the rules like her peers.

"I don't like owing people anything. Name your price, or whatever you want, it's fine with me," Bai Yunyun continued.

"You're going to give it to me first, and then ask for it back?" Xia Qiuran smiled and then joked.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Yunyun took it seriously and replied with a very serious expression.

"If it weren't for you today, I would never have been able to ask those things back. What I've already given away isn't even worth mentioning in my eyes."

Xia Qiuran sighed inwardly. She really couldn't make a joke; she could only speak formally.

"The reason I said that is because I caused this, so I won't just stand by and watch you get bullied. It's my sense of responsibility that's getting in the way, and it has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this answer, Bai Yunyun finally calmed down, but her eyes were still filled with resentment.

"Hmph, I've always been so good to them, giving them so many things, and yet they're all such ingrates."

"They gather when there's profit, and disperse when the profit is gone. You used material things as bargaining chips and favors to build relationships. Your friendship with them was fake from the beginning. You should have expected this day to come. What's there to be angry about?" Xia Qiuran replied calmly.

"Hmph, that means I was too lenient with them. Just wait until I get back, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget." Bai Yunyun gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage.

Xia Qiuran was too lazy to say anything more. The adoration bought with money and material possessions was nothing more than a short-lived spectacle. Unless she realized this herself, she wouldn't think she was wrong.

...

As evening approached, Lu Zhenghan finally arrived at the rescue station.

Bai Yunyun, who was sterilizing medical equipment, saw Lu Zhenghan walking straight towards her, and her heart started pounding faster.

Didn't we just meet during the day? Why are you here again now? Did you hear about how she was bullied by Sun Rong and her gang during the day, so you came here to comfort her?

Yes, that must be it. Men really do prefer gentle women. It seems she'll have to change her strategy and try to present herself as an innocent, delicate wife.

To emphasize her delicate appearance, Bai Yunyun pinched her arm hard as soon as Lu Zhenghan approached. The intense pain brought tears to her eyes.

"Commander."

Lu Zhenghan looked at Bai Yunyun, who suddenly stood in front of him and started crying, and casually asked her a question.

"What's up?"

Lu Zhenghan actually cared about her. Her guess was right. Bai Yunyun was so excited that she blurted out what she was thinking.

"Commander, I'm fine. Please don't blame everyone because of me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghan frowned, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

Saying these nonsensical things, you must have been provoked by something.

"Dr. Bai, if you really feel very tired, I can grant you a day off so you can go home and get a good night's sleep."

After Lu Zhenghan finished speaking, he went straight into the tent at the rescue station.

After inspecting all the wounded, he came to Xia Qiuran's side and said softly.

"let's go."

"Um."

Just as the two were about to leave, they bumped into Bai Yunyun as she entered.

"Dr. Bai, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in two hours. I've finished the rest of the work, you just need to keep an eye on the two more seriously injured patients," Xia Qiuran said first.

Bai Yunyun glanced at the two of them with displeasure. "You went out again?"

It seems Lu Zhenghan didn't come to see her, but to see Xia Qiuran. What exactly do they need to do? They have to go out every day.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Bai."

Before Bai Yunyun could reply, Lu Zhenghan spoke again, and then took Xia Qiuran out.

As Xia Qiuran approached the jeep, she first noticed the back seat was stuffed full of gifts.

"Ranran, this is my bankbook. I just withdrew some money from it and bought some things. Here, take the rest."

"Zhenghan, didn't you buy a bit too much stuff?"

"It's not much at all. Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia just moved to the city, so they probably haven't bought many things yet. They'll all need what I bought."

As Lu Zhenghan spoke, he opened the car door, and Xia Qiuran got in and glanced back.

Rice, flour, oil, various nutritional supplements, and several sets of new clothes in packaging—how much stuff did she buy? How should she introduce Lu Zhenghan when she gets home? Before, she said the person she liked was always a soldier like him, but now it's suddenly Lu Zhenghan. She doesn't know what her parents will think.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here for you."

Just as Xia Qiuran was struggling with her decision, Lu Zhenghan's warm palm gently covered her small hand, the pressure neither too loose nor too tight, the warmth gradually seeping into her heart through her skin.

This gradually eased Xia Qiuran's previously tense mood.
