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

Seeing Dr. Liu approach, Gao Yingting stood up and subconsciously adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, as if she couldn't believe it and checked again.

"Are you Liu Yu, Expert Liu?"

"Yes, it's me, Dean Gao. You can just call me Liu Yu," Liu Yu replied modestly.

Gao Yingting stared intently at Liu Yu, then said in a tone of great admiration, "Expert Liu, it really is you! I was so impressed when I read your papers in academic journals. I never expected to meet you in person today. It's truly an honor."

"You flatter me. I heard from Commander Lu that we have a patient here with a rather serious condition, is that right?"

"Yes, there is such a patient. He's over here. Please follow me."

The group quickly arrived at the ward. Liu Yu carefully examined the patient, and her gaze grew increasingly solemn as she went on.

"How is it, Dr. Liu?" Gao Yingting asked nervously.

The person in front of me now is a leading expert in this field. If he says it's no good, then there's basically no place in the country that can be considered promising.

"May I see the patient's medical records from the past few days?" Liu Yu didn't answer directly, but asked again.

It seems the condition is quite complicated.

"I'll go get it."

Xia Qiuran quickly took the medical record and handed it to Liu Yu. Her heart was pounding. Time was too short, and she wondered if the expert in front of her could find out the real cause of the patient's illness.

"Dr. Liu, is the patient dying?" Bai Xia stood to the side, looking impatient, as if she was expecting Liu Yu to say something unpleasant.

Liu Yu glanced at Bai Xia but did not answer. Instead, she asked again.

"Has the patient only recently started taking the medication?"

"Yes, I gave her medicine and acupuncture this morning," Xia Qiuran nodded.

Anxious Bai Xia then glanced at the medication list in the medical record book, and a glint immediately flashed in her eyes. As if she had discovered some loophole, she exclaimed loudly.

"Dr. Liu, the patient has a lung disease, but look at the medical record, the medication Xia Qiuran is using is for treating kidney disease. Isn't that completely irrelevant? Let's not discuss the illness for now, just tell me if her treatment method is wrong."

Liu Yu's eyes were cold, but she only answered indifferently, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Xia's repeated interruptions.

"The patient's condition is not simply a lung disease; to treat the lungs, you must first treat the kidneys. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Dean Gao, this kind of case is very rare, and I'm not absolutely certain I can cure it. Right now, we can only wait for the medication to take effect before making any further decisions."

No sooner had Liu Yu finished speaking than Bai Xia blurted out something else.

"We still have to wait."

This time, Liu Yu's eyes darkened completely, and her voice was filled with displeasure.

"If this doctor has a better method, we can give it a try. I am only of limited knowledge and can only see this much."

Gao Yingting noticed that Liu Yu was unhappy, so he quickly stepped forward and said coldly.

"Director Bai, you can go back now. We'll let you know when we have the results."

These are experts who are usually impossible to invite. If they could stay a few more days this time and provide guidance to the infectious disease department of our hospital, it would greatly enhance the hospital's reputation.

Experts are now saying to wait, and waiting is definitely the right thing to do.

While waiting, Gao Yingting specially called all the key personnel of the hospital together. It was rare for experts from Beijing to come to their small town. They had to find a solution to problems that they couldn't solve in the past.

Xia Qiuran stood outside the crowd surrounding Liu Yu, only able to watch helplessly. Given her current status, she probably wouldn't get a chance to ask questions even if she waited until next year.

Lu Zhenghan walked over and slowly said, "Dr. Liu won't be leaving for a few days. I'll find an opportunity for you to meet later."

Xia Qiuran was immediately overjoyed. "Really? Thank you, Commander. I actually just wanted to ask about my older brother's leg surgery. By the way, how did you manage to invite this renowned expert here?"

"Dr. Liu was going on a business trip, so I asked him to get off the bus along the way."

The scene of talking to his grandmother flashed by, and Lu Zhenghan said lightly.

Xia Qiuran couldn't help but admire him. Such a big expert just casually came over. He was indeed no ordinary person. Looking at Lu Zhenghan, she gave him another warm and sincere compliment.

"You're really amazing, Commander, to be able to get such a top expert involved."

She tilted her head, a few strands of hair falling around her neck, her large eyes seemed to speak volumes, and her porcelain-white skin glowed with a healthy rosy hue.

Lu Zhenghan cleared his throat awkwardly, his gaze drifting towards the corner of the wall, a blush creeping up the tips of his ears.

"Just something I did."

"By the way, has Zhao Feng been giving you any trouble lately?"

Xia Qiuran: "No, now that they know you have such a powerful background, how could they dare to come here so easily?"

Thinking back to the times Zhao Feng had come to cause trouble, Lu Zhenghan couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Zhao Feng is not a good partner, neither in terms of family background nor character. Why did you agree to his marriage proposal in the first place?"

Hearing this, Xia Qiuran looked out the window thoughtfully. Yes, how could she have agreed to Zhao Feng's marriage back then? Thinking back to her previous life, Xia Qiuran was filled with regret.

"Because I had a dream in which I married Zhao Feng, but my life was terrible. He only cared about himself, and to him, I was just a free babysitter."

"A dream?" Lu Zhenghan asked in confusion.

Xia Qiuran snapped out of her daze: "Hey, it's only after getting to know each other more that I slowly realized we weren't a good match."

After hearing this, Lu Zhenghan lowered his eyes, his beautiful obsidian eyes seeming to churn with unreadable emotions. After a moment, he slowly asked.

"So what are your requirements for a partner now?"

Xia Qiuran fell into deep thought. To be honest, she hadn't really considered this question since her rebirth. She had lived too tiring a life in her previous life. In this life, she just wanted to live a peaceful life, take good care of her parents, work hard to make money, and then live her own wonderful life.

"I hope he's an orphan, without father, mother, brothers, or sisters," Xia Qiuran said casually.

If you really have to choose a partner, an orphan with no relatives would actually be a good choice.

"orphan?"

Lu Zhenghan didn't expect Xia Qiuran to give such a reply. This answer was too unexpected. There are probably only a handful of people like her in the whole country.

"Yes, a simpler family background, without so many complicated relationships, makes life easier."

Thinking back to how she was tormented by her three aunts' families and her in-laws in her previous life, it would be a lie to say she wasn't traumatized. She didn't want to live in that kind of environment again in this life.

Lu Zhenghan assumed it was just some married woman who was always with Xia Qiuran talking nonsense, and said in a low voice.

"Don't listen to what Aunt Lü and the others are saying. Whether a woman is happy in her husband's family after marriage largely depends on the man. If the man can balance the relationship between his wife and his family, the marriage can still be very happy."

"Besides, being an orphan doesn't mean having simple social relationships. Such people usually value friendships and brotherhood, which can be another kind of trouble. Your idea is not advisable."

Lu Zhenghan said sternly and righteously.

Xia Qiuran nodded, but her mind was more focused on the patient's condition, and she didn't really listen to what Lu Zhenghan was saying, giving a casual reply.

"Yeah, you're right. It seems that being alone is the best, always free and unrestrained."

What? You're not choosing an orphan anymore, you want someone else.

What kind of logic is this?

Lu Zhenghan's brows furrowed involuntarily, his gaze as deep and cold as a pool in the dead of night.

"A good marriage will not restrict your freedom, but will only help you go further."

Xia Qiuran paused for a moment, only snapping back to reality upon hearing this.

"Commander, are you thinking about getting married?"
