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

The two quickly arrived at Zhou Guangming's office, where they saw Yan Jun and his wife, along with Yan Jun's father, sitting inside.

"Political Commissar Zhou, Factory Director Yan, is there something you need?" Lu Zhenghan asked first.

Yan Jun's father stood up at this moment, first glancing at Xia Qiuran standing behind him, and then said to Lu Zhenghan.

"Commander Lu, you must have heard some rumors circulating outside. They're saying all sorts of things in our clothing factory. I've been law-abiding all my life, and I just can't take it anymore."

"I asked them both at home, but neither of them would tell me the truth, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Lu Zhenghan spoke up: "Director Yan, please don't be anxious. Rumors are not credible. We should investigate thoroughly before making any statements."

"Rumors are unreliable, but no rumor is entirely baseless." Yan Jun's father said sternly, his eyes filled with anger. "You must be Dr. Xia. I am very grateful to you for treating my grandson. We will pay you every penny due, but please don't think too much about anything else, Dr. Xia."

"Dad, what are you saying? This has nothing to do with Dr. Xia." Yan Jun said helplessly to his father. Before coming, he tried everything to stop him, both soft and hard, but he still couldn't stop him.

Just as Xia Qiuran was about to reply, Lu Zhenghan shielded her behind him. "Director Yan, I think there must be a misunderstanding here. Dr. Xia is an excellent doctor in our team, and I believe she would not do the things that are being rumored."

Xia Qiuran's gaze paused for a moment. She hadn't expected that Lu Zhenghan, who was usually so stern with her, would actually stand up for her in this crucial moment. He did seem to have the air of a leader.

It seems that not choosing to leave the 45th Regiment for the First Hospital was the right choice.

"Dr. Xia accepted Yan Jun's money, and Xiao Na came to see her. These were all witnessed by our own eyes. Commander Lu, you can't just blindly favor your subordinates," Yan Jun's father said solemnly.

The Yan couple were also quite puzzled by this, but since the rumors were untrue and they both thought the other was seriously ill, they did not bring it up.

"Director Yan, there are some things about our group that you may not know. Dr. Xia Qiuran was also framed before. Why don't you give me a few days? I will definitely investigate and give everyone a satisfactory answer." Lu Zhenghan said firmly, always standing in front of Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran then stepped out from behind Lu Zhenghan and said, "Director Yan, not only did Comrade Yan give me money, but Comrade Wu also gave me some money." She then took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket, and when she opened it, a hundred ten-yuan bills appeared in front of them.

Xia Qiuran returned it to Yan Jun and his wife, and then explained in detail why she did it.

"Comrade Yan, Comrade Wu, I'm sorry, I deceived you. If you still want a divorce, I will not try to stop you anymore."

The two of them stood there stunned for a long time, holding the money, as if they had just experienced a close call with life and death.

I felt relieved but also had lingering fears.

After a long pause, Yan Jun finally spoke in a low voice, "It's good that everyone is alright. I don't want a divorce anymore."

These past few days have felt like years. He's thought it through clearly; he still has feelings for Wu Xiaona. If he can't learn how to manage a marriage, getting married a hundred times won't change anything.

"I'm willing to change myself. What does it matter if I don't do well in school or have a few arguments, except for life, death, and health?" Wu Xiaona then added.

"Dr. Xia, you not only cured my son's illness but also saved our marriage. I sincerely thank you." Yan Jun sincerely extended his hand to Xia Qiuran to express his gratitude.

Xia Qiuran also shook hands with Yan Jun generously, saying, "You're too kind, Comrade Yan."

Yan Jun's father hadn't expected this outcome. He was filled with remorse for what he had just said. "Dr. Xia, so that's how it is. Look at the mess this has made..."

"Director Yan, it's my fault for not explaining beforehand. Don't blame everyone for misunderstanding." Xia Qiuran took the blame upon herself with one sentence, defusing the awkwardness among everyone in the room.

Yan Jun's father nodded silently. "Dr. Xia, you can heal both the body and the soul. You are truly a good doctor. I admire you very much." He sincerely praised her.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Zhou Guangming and his group escorted Yan Jun and his party all the way to the entrance of the military base.

"Political Commissar Zhou, please wait. I'm already ashamed enough that you've come to interrogate me without even clarifying the facts," Yan Jun's father said as he said goodbye.

Zhou Guangming grasped Yan Jun's father's hand and smiled, "Director Yan, we've known each other for so many years, you're being too polite. Just make sure the bedding we need is delivered on time."

"That's for sure, don't worry."

"Okay, take care."

Just as Yan Jun and his group were about to get into the car, they suddenly noticed someone staring straight in their direction.

Following the man's gaze, it landed directly on Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran's smile vanished instantly after she recognized the person as Zhao Feng.

"Qiu Ran, I've finally waited for you. I've been standing here for so long." Zhao Feng slowly walked over.

With so many people around, Xia Qiuran didn't show much expression, only calmly asking, "What brings you here?"

"I brought you some dried potatoes that my family made. You can't find these in the city. You must have been missing this taste since you've been away for so long." Zhao Feng gazed at Xia Qiuran, his eyes sparkling with tenderness.

"I'm not eating it, you can take it back," Xia Qiuran said coldly.

Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward nervously and awkwardly. "Qiu Ran, don't rush to reject me. I've thought about it. I was wrong before, and I will definitely try my best to correct it in the future. Please give me a chance." As he spoke, he handed the bag of dried potatoes to Xia Qiu Ran with both hands.

Xia Qiuran glanced around; it seemed like everyone was watching how she would answer. She absolutely couldn't have any further connection with Zhao Feng, so she deliberately said something.

"Comrade Zhao, we have no contact anymore. Please don't contact me again. Besides, I already have someone I like."

Upon hearing this, a ripple immediately appeared in Lu Zhenghan's originally calm eyes.

Zhao Feng paused for a second, then quickly regained his confidence. "Qiu Ran, don't lie to me. Who else around you is better off than me?"

"I'm a workshop foreman now, and I'm about to get a raise. If you marry me, I guarantee you'll enjoy endless happiness in the future."

Xia Qiuran was too lazy to argue any further and turned to look at the group of people who had come out with her.

"Comrade Yan, Comrade Wu, Xiao Dong can come to me if he feels unwell in the future."

"Thank you, Dr. Xia."

"Commander Lu, Political Commissar Zhou, we'll be leaving now." Yan Jun and the others waved their hands, turned around, and got into the jeep.

Xia Qiuran followed Lu Zhenghan and Zhou Guangming back to the military base, not leaving a single unnecessary glance behind.

Zhao Feng watched Xia Qiuran's departing figure, silently clenching his fists. In fact, he didn't understand why he had waited for so long at the entrance of the military base. He just felt that he hadn't been eating or sleeping well during the time Xia Qiuran was away, and he was making frequent mistakes at work. He was almost going crazy, and then he unconsciously came here.

...

When the group returned to the unit, they saw Zhang Xiaoliang waiting in front of them at the training ground, holding something wrapped in newspaper.
