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

Xia Qiuran could only laugh dryly after hearing this. "Commander Lu, I was just afraid of bothering you."

She couldn't help but grumble to herself. Back then, she would be suspected even if she said a few extra words to Han Yu, but now that they've been walking alone for so long, how come she doesn't have to care about other people's opinions?

"If you act uprightly and sit honestly, you won't be affected."

The two walked to the dormitory entrance. Lu Zhenghan said something, paused for a moment, looked at Xia Qiuran, and his lips moved slightly as if he had something to say but didn't finish.

"You're right. Is there anything else, Commander Lu?" Xia Qiuran asked casually upon seeing this.

Lu Zhenghan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he cleared his throat again. "There seem to be a lot of mosquitoes in the dorm lately. Do you have any good methods for repelling them?"

"You can burn some mugwort before bed to fumigate," Xia Qiuran replied after thinking for a moment.

"The smoke is too heavy, and it's not safe to start a fire." Lu Zhenghan's brow twitched slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Xia Qiuran lowered her head and thought for a moment. This was already the best way to get rid of mosquitoes.

"Commander Lu, mugwort is the most effective method. You can also wear some herbal sachets, but you certainly won't wear these things!" Xia Qiuran said naturally.

Xia Qiuran couldn't imagine what it would look like to see such a cold and resolute leader wearing a soft and fragrant sachet.

"Sachets aren't prohibited items, so why can't I wear them?"

"This method works; it's both safe and convenient. Although I don't usually like carrying these things, I have no other choice but to do this to repel mosquitoes." Lu Zhenghan's expression shifted slightly, but his handsome face remained extremely serious.

Xia Qiuran raised her eyes, her gaze filled with surprise. She couldn't have heard wrong, could she? Lu Zhenghan was actually going to bring a sachet!

"Commander Lu, are you sure you want the sachet? It contains herbs, and you might not like the smell." Xia Qiuran confirmed again.

"It's okay, just put whatever you want in there, the taste doesn't matter."

"By the way, it's best not to make it into a square, pillow-like shape; I don't like that."

Lu Zhenghan continued, and halfway through his sentence, the scene of Xia Qiuran giving Zhang Xiaoliang the sachet involuntarily popped into his mind.

How could there be such an ugly sachet? He would never want one like that.

After listening to Lu Zhenghan's description, Xia Qiuran also had some doubts. How come it sounded so similar to the sachets she had made before? Since the main purpose of sachets is to repel mosquitoes, she usually chose the simplest shapes to sew.

Although Xia Qiuran didn't understand Lu Zhenghan's behavior, she thought about it for a moment and agreed.

...

The next morning, as soon as Xia Qiuran entered the infirmary, she saw Bai Yunyun sitting at her desk with eyes as big as walnuts.

Yu Guang, however, kept glaring at Xia Qiuran with resentment.

She comes from a good family and is beautiful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a favored daughter of heaven. But yesterday, she became the laughing stock of the whole place because of this village girl in front of her, and she was even robbed of the opportunity to dance with Lu Zhenghan, which made her cry all night. She must avenge this no matter what.

Xia Qiuran came in, glanced at the person briefly, and then went about her own business.

She's here to work, not to try to please anyone or waste her emotions. If we get along, we'll get along well; if not, we'll just be strangers. No one needs to make concessions for anyone else.

"Xia Qiuran, look what you've done to Dr. Bai! Come over here and apologize!" Seeing that Xia Qiuran seemed unaffected, Sun Rong crossed her arms and stood in front of her, speaking sternly.

After what happened last time, Sun Rong knew that it was unlikely she could become a full-fledged military doctor on her own merits. Now, her only hope was that Bai Yunyun could use her family connections to help her. So she began to do everything she could to please her.

"What's wrong, Dr. Bai? Should I apologize?" Xia Qiuran turned her head and looked at Sun Rong with a questioning gaze.

Sun Rong: "Since Dr. Bai cried, you have to apologize."

"Oh, if Dr. Bai cries, I should apologize." Xia Qiuran nodded thoughtfully, then said...

"Why is Dr. Bai crying? Is it because Commander Lu rejected her request to dance, or because she wrapped herself up like a big dumpling while dancing, or because she accused me of stealing her bracelet and was reprimanded by her superiors?"

"I need to know why I apologized."

The people in the room wanted to laugh but dared not, some lowered their heads, some turned their faces away, and all of them were blushing with suppressed laughter.

"Xia Qiuran, how dare you expose Dr. Xia's shortcomings! I'm going to report you to Political Commissar Zhou!" Sun Rong, unable to win the argument, pointed at Xia Qiuran and said angrily like a primary school student.

Xia Qiuran, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, "Then you should go quickly. Make sure to repeat exactly what I just said to Political Commissar Zhou, so that the higher-ups won't punish me."

"Okay, you wait."

Sun Rong, eager to claim credit, ran out to complain without thinking.

"return."

At this moment, Bai Yunyun roared, "You idiot, if you can't speak properly, get out of here!"

Although she was furious, she was still thinking clearly. After what had happened, her superiors were already looking down on her. If she were to walk right into the line of fire now, she would be asking for trouble.

The best course of action now is to suppress our anger and wait until things calm down before taking action.

"Xia is here."

Just then, a greeting came from outside, and then Aunt Lü and Han Yu walked into the infirmary together.

"Why did you all come together? Is something the matter?" Xia Qiuran walked over and asked.

Aunt Lü smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'd like to get two more plasters. My husband's younger brother has the same illness, and I was thinking of getting some for him too."

Previously, Xia Qiuran had never charged her a penny for making plasters out of her own pocket while working in the cooking squad. Now, although the medical care in the infirmary is free, the plaster formula is indeed Xia Qiuran's, and the plasters are also very troublesome to make. If she casually says that she can't make them, no one can say anything.

"Sure, no problem." Xia Qiuran readily agreed, taking out two plasters from the drawer. "But these are the only two left for now. I'll make some more and send them to you later."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Xia." Aunt Lü happily accepted.

Han Yu then pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket. "Comrade Xia, here, this is your half."

Xia Qiuran took the stack of money and felt it was as thick as a book. Although there were many small bills mixed in, it was still a considerable sum of money.

Summer:

"So much money! Comrade Han, you're really amazing, you managed to sell all those plasters." Xia Qiuran said with surprise.

"I'm alright, but I'm still not as good as you. You sold a basket of plasters without doing anything," Han Yu chuckled, glancing unconsciously at Bai Yunyun.

But as soon as she met Bai Yunyun's venomous gaze, she immediately knew better than to smile, turned her head back, and then spoke to Xia Qiuran.

"Comrade Xia, I've brought you not only money, but also many pre-ordered items, especially that beauty cream, quite a few ladies have asked about it."

"Oh? But I'm out of plasters ready, Comrade Han. I probably can't make that many plasters in a short time."

Xia Qiuran expressed some concern, saying she hadn't expected Han Yu to be so efficient.

"Comrade Xia, you are now our technical backbone, the treasure of the store. How can we let you do such rough work?" Han Yu immediately flattered, deliberately lowering his voice when he said the last sentence.

"Don't worry, I've thought it all out. Come here, let's go outside, I'll tell you."
