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

Chen Xiu quickly came over and said, "Pah, pah, pah, why are you saying this?"

Lu Zhenghan quickly chimed in, "Uncle Zhou, with your health, you could easily live another hundred years. Don't overthink it."

"I'm going back to the regimental headquarters in a bit; I really have official business to finish."

Lu Zhenghan tried to comfort Zhou Guangming, but Zhou still refused to stay.

Chen Xiu understood Lu Zhenghan's temperament; he had almost zero tolerance for things he disliked, so she didn't insist and patted Lu Zhenghan's arm, saying...

"Business is more important. Your aunt has cooked a lot of dishes. Remember to come back and eat after you've finished your work."

Lu Zhenghan: "Okay, I understand, Auntie."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xiu walked over and quickly opened the door, whereupon Xia Qiuran walked in carrying a medicine box.

"Xia, thank you for your help." Chen Xiu quickly led Xia Qiuran in.

"Auntie, it's nothing, don't mention it's too much trouble." Xia Qiuran walked into the house with her medicine box.

A clear look of surprise flashed across Lu Zhenghan's eyes upon seeing this.

Chen Xiu explained with a smile, "Isn't it because your Uncle Zhou's headache has flared up again? Xia gave him acupuncture last time and he got much better, so we had to trouble Xia again this time."

Xia Qiuran looked at Bai Yunyun and Yuan Qiaoling, who each had their own thoughts.

Good heavens, a chaotic scene involving three people! What kind of drama has she stumbled upon?

He shook his head inwardly, indicating that he didn't quite understand, and decided to just do his job. He then took out the acupuncture needles and said to Zhou Guangming.

"Political Commissar Zhou, please sit in this chair; it will be easier to administer acupuncture."

Just as Zhou Guangming was about to get up, Bai Yunyun grabbed his sleeve and asked with concern.

"Political Commissar, why didn't you call me if you were sick? I could have taken your pulse. There are all sorts of people these days, so you can't just rush into anything when you're desperate."

Before Zhou Guangming could speak, Yuan Qiaoling went over and grabbed his other arm.

"Uncle, how are you? Does your head still hurt? I teach clinical medicine, and I can treat you too."

Xia Qiuran watched as Zhou Guangming's arms were tightly held by the two men, and could only wait silently by the chair.

Chen Xiu smiled awkwardly and explained to Xia Qiuran in a low voice.

"Xia, I'm sorry you had to see this. It's because Zheng Han didn't attend that conference yesterday. Your Uncle Zhou knew he would definitely come to our house today, so he called Qiao Ling over in advance. Who knew Bai Yunyun would come too, and that's how this happened."

"Auntie, how about I come back another time?" Xia Qiuran said again.

"No need, no need, I'll go call him over." Chen Xiu waved her hand, frowned as she looked at Zhou Guangming who was being entangled, and quickly went over.

"Dr. Bai, Qiaoling, it's not that we don't trust your medical skills, it's just that my old man is used to getting acupuncture from Xia. We'll try your new method next time," Chen Xiu said with a smile, pulling Zhou Guangming over.

Zhou Guangming finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down next to Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran deftly picked up the needles, located the acupoints, and began to perform acupuncture on Zhou Guangming.

During the acupuncture session, the room finally had a moment of peace.

Chen Xiu glanced at Lu Zhenghan, who was still standing to one side.

"Zhenghan, don't you have official business? I'll take care of Uncle Zhou. It's alright, you should hurry up and go."

Lu Zhenghan glanced at Xia Qiuran almost imperceptibly out of the corner of his eye. "Auntie, it's alright. There's no rush. I'll wait until Uncle Zhou finishes his acupuncture before I leave."

What a filial child! They certainly didn't spoil the wrong person, Chen Xiu thought to herself.

At this moment, Yuan Qiaoling casually walked to Bai Yunyun's side and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"So what if you're a proper military doctor? You're not even as good as a reserve soldier. Your medical skills are inferior, your appearance is inferior, how dare you come here?"

"What did you say! Say it again." These words hit Bai Yunyun's sore spot, and she immediately stood up and glared at Yuan Qiaoling fiercely.

Yuan Qiaoling pitifully raised her head and looked at Bai Yunyun with her big, innocent eyes.

"Dr. Bai, I'm sorry, I only said that my uncle's headache was a stubborn ailment that was difficult to treat, I didn't say anything else."

"That's not what you just said, stop pretending to be weak!" Bai Yunyun continued to yell.

Yuan Qiaoling was so frightened that her body trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiu quickly stepped forward to block Yuan Qiaoling.

"Dr. Bai, Qiaoling is new here and there are some things she doesn't understand. Please forgive her if she says anything wrong."

"Aunt Chen, she's faking it, you should believe me."

Bai Yunyun was furious and wanted to grab Yuan Qiaoling's hair and slap her twice, but she had to hold back for the time being because Lu Zhenghan was there.

"Dr. Xia, you're really amazing. This acupuncture technique isn't something just anyone can learn," Yuan Qiaoling said deliberately as she walked up to Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran ignored her, while Bai Yunyun simply rolled her eyes at her.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Acupuncture is a required subject for medical students. What's so difficult about it?"

"Then why didn't Uncle Zhou go to Dr. Bai for acupuncture?" Yuan Qiaoling blinked twice and asked again.

Chen Xiu frowned anxiously. Wasn't this just stirring up trouble? She quickly went over to respond.

"I already told you, it's because your Uncle Zhou is used to Xia's technique."

Yuan Qiaoling nodded meaningfully and said, "Oh, even though Dr. Bai was in the army for so many years, Uncle still couldn't get used to her technique. But Dr. Xia was just a reserve soldier, and Uncle got used to her technique right away."

Bai Yunyun gritted her teeth. It was one thing for patients to come to Xia Qiuran for treatment in the infirmary, but if she let Xia Qiuran show off in front of Zhou Guangming, how could she stay in the army?

She strode over to Xia Qiuran and said sternly, "Get out of my way."

Fearing that Bai Yunyun might suddenly do something crazy, Xia Qiuran quickly took a step back to keep her distance.

Bai Yunyun stood behind Zhou Guangming and picked up a needle, heating it over an alcohol lamp.

"Political Commissar, I know you chose Xia Qiuran, a reserve soldier, because you didn't want to trouble me. But since I am the official military doctor of our unit, I have a responsibility to treat you."

"Let me administer the acupuncture to you now."

Zhou Guangming had been sitting quietly in the chair with his eyes closed, but when Bai Yunyun said that, he immediately opened his eyes.

"Need not."

"Dr. Bai, I appreciate your kindness, but let Xia do the acupuncture this time."

Bai Yunyun supported Zhou Guangming's shoulder, preventing him from standing up, and said righteously.

"Political Commissar Zhou, you are my superior in public and Zhenghan's uncle in private. It is only right that I help you with acupuncture. You really don't need to feel embarrassed."

"I'm not embarrassed, Dr. Bai. You may not be very familiar with my condition."

Zhou Guangming turned around and said, but Bai Yunyun stood there without showing any intention of leaving.

Holding acupuncture needles, he struck a very professional pose, but his needle-handling technique was clearly clumsy and stiff.

Zhou Guangming was extremely flustered. He had seen Bai Yunyun give injections to soldiers before, and the soldiers would scream louder than if they were hit by bullets on the battlefield.

"Never mind, my head doesn't seem to hurt anymore," Zhou Guangming said, waving his hand.

"ah."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, followed by an intense stinging pain.

Zhou Guangming subconsciously touched the painful spot on the top of his head.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that my fingers were stained red.
