“Don’t be cold to me again,” Luo Ziling, now with a gun in his hand, pointed it at Lin Lan’s head and commanded, “Whether you’re angry or smiling, it’s better than having no expression.”

Seeing Luo Ziling pointing a gun at her, Lin Lan was stunned for a moment.

She hadn’t noticed when her sidearm, usually strapped to her right waist, had been snatched by Luo Ziling, who now had it aimed at her head.

“Give me back my gun,” Lin Lan growled angrily at Luo Ziling, “I’ve warned you before, don’t take my sidearm.”

“You promised me you’d teach me how to shoot,” Luo Ziling tossed the gun back to Lin Lan, “You can’t go back on your word.”

“I never promised you,” Lin Lan huffed with irritation, quickly turned her head, and pressed the accelerator, driving rapidly toward the base.

“You did promise me,” Luo Ziling played the scoundrel. Having gained the upper hand in today’s tussle with Lin Lan, this proud and rigid woman who always had an icy face finally bowed her head to him, and he felt very pleased.

“You don’t have a gun permit, even if you learn you can’t use a gun.”

“You could figure out a way to get me one.”

“Not interested, no time,” Lin Lan sniffed disdainfully.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling said, “I’ll tell Li Haiyang about how you bullied me today and let him be the judge.”

“You dare?!” Lin Lan was furious.

“Of course, I dare, there’s nothing I’m afraid of doing.” Luo Ziling knew that this was another of Lin Lan’s vulnerabilities and immediately felt very happy again.

Lin Lan turned her head and glared at Luo Ziling, but he just chuckled in response.

“We’ll talk about it when I have time,” finally softening her tone in the face of Luo Ziling’s smiling face, Lin Lan said, “I hope you’re not too dumb.”

“Don’t insult me,” Luo Ziling was instantly annoyed since Lin Lan actually called him dumb, “I’m smarter than the average person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone straight to university without attending a day of school.”

Lin Lan just snorted through her nose, an expression of disdain on her face.

After today’s commotion, Luo Ziling felt much closer to Dragon Rise base.

He was even more invested during the medical treatment of Li Haiyang.

After nearly an hour of treatment, both Luo Ziling and Li Haiyang were soaked with sweat.

At Li Haiyang’s request, Luo Ziling did not make him sleep today, but kept him awake the entire time.

“Ziling, after your treatment yesterday, I slept more soundly than usual. Today it should be even better,” Li Haiyang said with a smile as the nurses wiped his sweat after the treatment, “I’m feeling a bit of sensation in my legs and arms, and I believe that soon you will definitely restore the normal function of these parts. I have great confidence.”

“I’m very confident too,” a nearly exhausted Luo Ziling replied weakly, “In a few days I’ll try a different acupuncture skill, see if the results can be even better.”

“It’s all up to you,” seeing Luo Ziling’s clothes completely soaked through, Li Haiyang gestured for Lin Lan to help him go down and rest, “I need to take a quick nap. You arrange the next steps, make sure he rests well before sending him back. Prepare some extra dishes for his lunch, with more meat.”

Li Haiyang even attending to such trivial matters was very surprising to Lin Lan, who also felt a twinge of jealousy.

She could clearly sense that Li Haiyang was particularly caring towards Luo Ziling, treating him even more tenderly than her, who wasn’t his adopted daughter but appeared to be just as dear to him, leaving her with a sour feeling. Yet she dared not disobey Li Haiyang’s instructions and, after agreeing, helped Luo Ziling out of the room.

“Let me walk on my own,” once they were out of the small building where Li Haiyang lived, Luo Ziling broke free from Lin Lan’s support, “It wouldn’t look good to be seen like this.”

“Putting on an act,” Lin Lan snorted, giving Luo Ziling a dismissive look, but didn’t force him to do anything.

Just like yesterday, Luo Ziling followed Lin Lan to her room.

“Take a shower first, I’ll get your lunch,” Lin Lan pointed in the direction of the bathroom, “I’ve prepared a set of clothes for you to change into.”

“No need,” Luo Ziling shook his head, looking quite embarrassed, “I cleaned the clothes I wore yesterday and brought them back.”

“Suit yourself,” Lin Lan didn’t say much and coolly walked away.

Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment, but eventually, he went into the bathroom and took a shower.

Feeling refreshed after the shower, he packed up his dirty clothes and changed into the clean training uniform he had brought.

By the time he came out of the bathroom after showering, Lin Lan still hadn’t returned. The overwhelming sleepiness quickly set in, and after waiting for a while without seeing Lin Lan, Luo Ziling eventually couldn’t resist the fatigue and fell asleep on Lin Lan’s bed.

He had only slept for a short while when a strange noise woke Luo Ziling up, and upon opening his eyes, he saw Lin Lan had returned.

Smelling a peculiar fragrance and still half asleep, Luo Ziling immediately sprang up from the bed, “Haha, lunchtime, smells so good.”

Lin Lan glanced at her own bed and then at Luo Ziling, pouting unhappily, but ultimately she didn’t say anything.

Today’s lunch was quite lavish, with five servings of braised pork, a dish of braised spare ribs, a roasted egg, and sides like mushrooms, black fungus, and cabbage, filling six or seven plates.

“It seems after the leadership spoke, the treatment really is different,” Luo Ziling chuckled and sat down at the table, ready to start eating.

Already hungry, and now enticed by the scent of meat, Luo Ziling’s stomach embarrassingly growled.

Without being polite to Lin Lan, he snatched a box of food, grabbed a piece of braised pork, and wolfed it down.

Lin Lan didn’t mind, took her own box of food, also picked a piece of meat, and started eating with relish.

Because the daily training was so intense, Lin Lan’s appetite was enormous. She could easily outeat three or four average girls, and unlike most girls who detested fatty meat, she enjoyed it thoroughly.

Eating meat with a pretty girl, Luo Ziling thought the taste couldn’t get any better.

During the meal, Lin Lan suddenly blurted out, “Help one of our comrades treat an injury later.”

“A guy or a girl?” Luo Ziling asked subconsciously.

“A guy.”

“Oh?” He initially thought it was the female comrade Lin Lan mentioned before, but it wasn’t, and Luo Ziling felt slightly disappointed.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s expression, Lin Lan glared at him disapprovingly.

“Also, someone wants to test your martial arts skills,” Lin Lan remarked as she put the second piece of braised pork into her stomach.

“A guy or a girl?”

“A girl.”

“No way?” Luo Ziling was flabbergasted, “A woman wants to spar with me?”

Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling as if he were an idiot, without responding.

“There’s a woman here more skilled than you?” Luo Ziling ignored Lin Lan’s glare and asked curiously.

“Yes!”

“Who?”

“Another woman.”
