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

Lu Zhenghan practically roared out the word "No," his voice loud and abrupt, causing everyone in the room to turn and look at him.

"Your dorm room isn't in the same direction as Comrade Xia's. Besides, it's already late. What kind of image is it for a male comrade to be carrying a female comrade?" Lu Zhenghan glanced at Han Yu and said in a deep voice.

"But it's raining and so dark. Comrade Xia, you're a young woman, you'll be scared to go back by yourself," Han Yu replied.

"I live in the same direction as Comrade Xia, I can take her back," Lu Zhenghan said emotionlessly, glancing at Xia Qiuran.

"Oh, okay then." Han Yu replied verbally, but inwardly he couldn't help but think, "We're both men, why can't I see you off?" He wanted to argue but didn't dare, so he could only obediently nod in agreement.

After dinner, Han Yu left first, wearing a raincoat. Since Zhou Guangming's family only had one umbrella, Lu Zhenghan had to walk side by side with Xia Qiuran while holding the umbrella.

They hadn't walked far when the rain seemed to get heavier, pattering against the umbrella. Lu Zhenghan walked straight to Xia Qiuran's left, the rain completely soaking one side of his military cap and uniform.

"Commander Lu, don't just worry about me, look, your clothes are all wet." Xia Qiuran held the umbrella handle and tried to push it towards Lu Zhenghan, but found that the umbrella handle was as if it were fixed and could not be moved no matter what she did.

"Hurry up, if you keep pushing us, we'll both get soaked," Lu Zheng replied coldly.

Xia Qiuran understood that Lu Zhenghan meant well and didn't want him to get wet, so she moved closer to him. Her shoulder accidentally brushed against his arm, and Lu Zhenghan immediately glanced at her without leaving a trace, then moved away from her.

"Commander Lu, the rain is too heavy. Let's take shelter under the eaves over there," Xia Qiuran said.

"it is good."

Lu Zhenghan glanced around. The rain was indeed too heavy. It was well past bath time. If they continued walking, he might be able to hold on, but the girl would probably get sick when they got back.

Although he disapproved of some of Xia Qiuran's behaviors, he also didn't want her to get sick.

The space under the eaves was cramped, so Lu Zhenghan tried to stand as far away from Xia Qiuran as possible.

Xia Qiuran stood still and raised her hand to tidy her hair, which was wet from the rain. Her jade-like cheeks were still covered with water droplets. Her floral shirt was soaked and clung softly to her shoulders, and the lines of her inner garment were faintly visible.

Lu Zhenghan quickly averted his gaze, his hands hanging at his sides tightened abruptly, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. This was the first time he had been so close to a girl. In the coolness of being surrounded by rain, he felt a strange heat. Although his gaze was away, his heart seemed to be out of control and in disarray.

"Commander Lu, which class is your cousin in?" Xia Qiuran suddenly remembered that she hadn't had time to ask Han Yu for information in her haste to leave. She didn't know how to find Han Yu for her part-time job tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghan's face instantly darkened. They had only met once, and he was already eyeing his cousin.

A bright future and good financial conditions—isn't this exactly what she's looking for?

"Comrade Xia, Han Yu is still young and his mentality is more like that of a child. He is really not a good match for you."

"Commander Lu, I just wanted to ask him about his part-time job. Why are you judging me with prejudice?" Even if Xia Qiuran was stupid, she could tell that Lu Zhenghan was implying that she was trying to seduce his cousin. She never expected that a commander would have such thoughts.

Not only did she not appreciate being saved, but now she's making things difficult for her from time to time. This person is really hard to get along with.

"I'm just stating the facts." Lu Zhenghan turned his head away, his angular face expressionless.

Xia Qiuran's bright eyes were already filled with anger, her lips were tight, and she said through gritted teeth, "Commander Lu, you'd better keep an eye on your cousin. With my looks, I'm afraid he'll come chasing after me if I just beckon him."

"you…"

Lu Zhenghan was speechless for a moment, not expecting Xia Qiuran to say that.

It seems his earlier suspicions were correct; this girl is indeed quite cunning.

"snort"

The two simply ignored each other.

The next day, Xia Qiuran learned about Han Yu's class through Aunt Chen. After finishing her work in the kitchen, she couldn't wait to go there. The sooner she started working, the sooner she would get paid, and she didn't want to waste any time.

After finding Han Yu, he quickly handed the bamboo strips for basket weaving to Xia Qiuran and instructed her, "Comrade Xia, these baskets are for people to sell. You must weave them well. If they are not up to standard, they will not pay you."

"Don't worry, Comrade Han, I'll definitely do a good job of writing it."

Xia Qiuran gladly accepted the money. The large basket cost 8 cents and the small basket cost 5 cents. Even if she wove one every two days, she could earn more than ten yuan a month. With her salary, that would be more than thirty yuan, all of which would be hers. Just thinking about it made her happy.

On the path leading to the infirmary, Bai Yunyun happened to see this scene. Her lips immediately curled up into a smile, and she turned around and quickened her pace.

Upon arriving at the military compound, she saw Lu Zhenghan watching soldiers train. She simply walked past Lu Zhenghan as if it were an accident.

"Brother Zhenghan, you're busy."

"Hmm," Lu Zhenghan replied indifferently.

"By the way, is Xiaoyu dating someone?"

A hint of wariness flashed in Lu Zhenghan's eyes. "No, why do you ask that?"

"I just saw a woman go to find Xiaoyu, and she even took his hand."

After the tofu pudding incident, fearing that Lu Zhenghan wouldn't believe her, Bai Yunyun deliberately spoke vaguely this time, not naming names so that even if things escalated, it wouldn't concern her.

"Who is it?" Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenghan turned to look at Bai Yunyun, his voice unconsciously tense.

When Bai Yunyun saw Lu Zhenghan staring at her, her heart skipped a beat. "I didn't see it very clearly either, but the back view looks a lot like Xia Qiuran." Her voice was noticeably softer.

I went after all.

She found Han Yu's class after only knowing him for a day. Is this woman desperate to get married? No way, Han Yu is simple-minded. He absolutely cannot watch Han Yu fall into this woman's hands.

"Brother Zhenghan".

Lu Zhenghan turned to leave, and Bai Yunyun hurriedly chased after him.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Zhenghan stopped in his tracks, turning his sharply defined profile towards Bai Yunyun.

Bai Yunyun patted her pocket, her eyes landing shyly on Lu Zhenghan. "I have two movie tickets here, Brother Zhenghan. I heard this movie is really good."

A hint of impatience flashed in Lu Zhenghan's eyes. "If you want to ask for leave, just go to your superior. You don't need to go through me." After saying that, he continued walking forward.

"Hey, Zheng Han, I wanted to invite you..." Bai Yunyun chased after him unwillingly. These were movie tickets that she had gone to great lengths to buy through connections, and she was determined to get together with Lu Zheng Han this time.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhenghan gave him a warning look.

"Recently, many places have been flooded. The soldiers are working very hard to dig channels and build dikes. Many of them have even suffered from heatstroke. Dr. Bai, I hope you will not only think about watching movies, but also pay more attention to the soldiers."

Lu Zhenghan frowned, his eyes were cold, and his voice was tinged with anger.

Bai Yunyun's heart tightened upon hearing this. She had seen Lu Zhenghan's angry face before. He treated everyone the same, regardless of gender, as long as they made a mistake. She didn't want to run ten or twenty laps on the training ground under the scorching sun.

"Okay, Zhenghan, I understand." He immediately bowed his head in response.

"Also, from now on, call me Regiment Commander Lu. There's no need to claim kinship within the military."

"Yes, Zheng, no, Commander Lu."
