"Cousin, I'm giving you this plaster for free."

Han Yu ran to Lu Zhenghan's side and, while speaking, stuffed a plaster into his pocket, deliberately showing off a corner of the plaster.

"I don't need it."

Lu Zhenghan tried to take out the plaster, but Han Yu pressed him down hard and said with expectant eyes.

"Cousin, you have to keep it in your pocket even if you don't want it. Look at all the women in the room, they're all looking at you. You're the best guy to be with."

"Remember when we were little, we even slept in the same bed? You're like my own brother, you can't refuse me even this small request."

Unable to resist Han Yu's persistent pleading, Lu Zhenghan had no choice but to put the plaster in his pocket.

"Wow, who is that?"

At that moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned towards the door.

Lu Zhenghan also turned around curiously and saw Bai Yunyun wearing a red and pink dress, walking slowly in with her aunt Bai Xia by the arm.

The skirt seemed to have extra fabric added, making it unbelievably wide, with a vibrant color and a deliberately cinched waist.

At first glance, it seems very eye-catching, but upon closer inspection, it appears extremely exaggerated. Many people are already whispering that it's too ostentatious and attention-seeking, and that its little schemes are practically written all over its face.

"Yunyun, ignore them. They're just jealous of you," Bai Xia said to Bai Yunyun after glancing around dismissively.

"Aunt, of course I won't stoop to their level. This dress was made by the best tailor in the city using twice the amount of fabric. They're just jealous." Bai Yunyun replied, then deliberately shook the hem of her dress.

Upon seeing Lu Zhenghan, she walked straight towards him.

"Brother Zhenghan".

"Brother Zhenghan, this isn't the military base, nor is it training time. Is it alright for me to call you that?" Bai Yunyun said with a shy smile.

Lu Zhenghan, however, remained expressionless. "Although this isn't the military base, it's a formal event jointly organized by the military and several state-owned enterprises. You can still call me Commander Lu." With that, he walked to the side.

Bai Yunyun bit her lip and then chased after him. Lu Zhenghan was being pressured to get married, while she had a good family background, a good job, and was beautiful. The two of them were a match made in heaven. She was willing to risk her pride and was determined to win him over.

"Okay, Commander Lu, may I invite you to dance?" Bai Yunyun ran up to Lu Zhenghan and said.

At this time, it was already quite embarrassing for men and women to dance together. Lu Zhenghan did not expect Bai Yunyun to invite a man to dance so casually and proactively, and he couldn't help but feel a little more impatient.

"Sorry, I have something to do. You can go invite someone else."

Those around who overheard the conversation unconsciously turned their gazes toward Bai Yunyun, looking at her with strange expressions.

Bai Yunyun didn't expect Lu Zhenghan to refuse so decisively, and her cheeks flushed red instantly.

"Commander Lu, what's wrong with me? Don't you think we're the perfect match here?" Bai Yunyun tugged at Lu Zhenghan's arm and blurted out everything in a somewhat excited manner.

The force of the pull knocked the plaster from Lu Zhenghan's pocket to the ground. Lu Zhenghan bent down, picked it up, and shook off the dust, his eyes clearly filled with anger. "I never thought that way," he said, turning and leaving.

Bai Yunyun dared not chase after him any further, only staring at the plaster in Lu Zhenghan's hand, clenching her fist tightly.

It's Xia Qiuran again; even a broken plaster is worth treasuring.

He then took off his bracelet, walked up to Xia Qiuran, crossed his arms, and said, "Xia Qiuran, who gave you permission to sell plasters here?"

Xia Qiuran looked up at Bai Yunyun and calmly replied, "Nobody forbade me from selling plasters here!"

Xia Qiuran had actually considered this issue before coming, but how could she do business if she was afraid of everything? If someone really kicked her out, she would just leave.

"Hmph, I'm going to find the leader right now." Bai Yunyun turned around and stormed off.

For no reason at all, I came here just to say these few bland words?

Xia Qiuran found it increasingly strange; Bai Yunyun was not such a simple person.

She moved the bamboo basket aside and checked the ground. There were no sharp or dangerous objects, so the intention wasn't to push her over and make her fall to the ground.

Then I checked my clothes and found no signs of damage.

Was she overthinking it?

"Comrade Xia, quickly bring me a few more days' worth of ointment." Just as I was thinking this, Han Yu ran back and said.

"You sold all the ones you took before? Comrade Han, you're amazing."

Xia Qiuran quickly took some more ointment from the basket for Han Yu, but just then she found an item in the basket that did not belong to her.

So that's how it is with bracelets.

Now is the crucial time for her internship at the First Hospital. If she is caught stealing, especially in full view of everyone, how can she possibly complete her internship?

Bai Yunyun, you're really ruthless.

Xia Qiuran remembered that she had chatted with the nurse earlier and mentioned that she would be performing a solo dance today, so the shoes she was carrying in her hand must be the dance shoes she would be wearing on stage.

Xia Qiuran casually tossed the bracelet into a corner, then picked up a handful of small pebbles from the ground outside the door and threw them into Bai Yunyun's dancing shoes when no one was looking.

Just as all this was done, the music stopped, the stage lights came on, and the host strode onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our social event. To make this event more enjoyable, we have added a talent show segment. Now, please welcome Comrade Bai Yunyun from the 45th Regiment to perform a solo dance, the Red Ribbon Dance."

After the host finished introducing the program, the lights in the venue dimmed, and the intro to the song began.

Bai Yunyun, draped in red silk, stepped onto the stage with small, quick steps. With a wave of her arms, the red silk swirled in the air like flowing clouds. Her movements were graceful, and applause rang out from the audience. Bai Yunyun, standing below the stage, immediately adopted a proud posture.

But less than two minutes later, Bai Yunyun's dance steps became noticeably unsteady, as if her basic skills were unstable. Her center of gravity shifted frequently, and her originally smooth turns became very stiff. The power of her silk ribbons was also broken, and her movements made one mistake after another.

As she approached the climax of the dance, she gritted her teeth and tried to complete a difficult turn, but then she lost her footing and slipped, falling forward.

The red ribbon instantly turned into a mess, wrapping around his face, waist, and legs. She frantically tried to pull it off, but the more she pulled, the tighter it became. Finally, she fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her neatly combed hair becoming a mess, and she ran off the stage with a flushed face.

What was originally a visually appealing dance turned into a complete skit, with the audience covering their mouths and unable to stop laughing, and some even making jokes.

"The leaders really put a lot of thought into this year's social gathering, putting together such a hilarious program."

"Stop laughing, what's so funny?" Bai Xia stomped her foot angrily, and after yelling, she quickly went to help Bai Yunyun, who was wrapped in red silk.

After finally managing to tear off the red silk, his face and forehead were covered in lipstick, making him look like a madman. He was both ashamed and angry. When he saw Xia Qiuran standing to the side with a faint smile on her lips, all the anger in his heart surged up instantly.

"Auntie, I lost my bracelet. On stage, I saw Xia Qiuran wearing the same bracelet as me. I didn't dance well because I kept thinking about it." She glared at Xia Qiuran with a face full of resentment.
