Bingbing's pretty face was flushed red.

"Alright, I should be going." Lin Hai pretended not to notice, showing no reluctance, his gaze clear.

Bingbing replied bashfully with an "Mhm," nodding obediently, thinking to herself that Brother Lin truly was an upright person.

With a gentle smile, Lin Hai ascended the stairs.

Bingbing secretly watched Lin Hai's retreating figure, and her young heart gave a gentle flutter.

"I really owe Brother Lin for today."

Bingbing sighed in relief and felt increasingly grateful toward Lin Hai.

"Oh, right, Ice."

After Lin Hai went upstairs, he suddenly came back down.

Bingbing's mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Hai, and of the look he had given her just moments ago, along with her own feelings. Startled by Lin Hai's voice, her cute face immediately turned even redder than a small apple, both red and hot.

"Brother Lin, do you need anything else?" Bingbing's voice was soft as a whisper.

She wondered if Brother Lin had noticed something off about her.

Lin Hai asked with a smile, "I wanted to ask, in which room is there a patient named Wang Dajun?"

"Oh, I see."

Bingbing let out a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and answered, "On the second floor, at the very end, near the ladies' restroom."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Hai nodded with gentle and chivalrous gratitude.

"Mhm, Brother Lin, take care." Bingbing shyly said.

"By the way, you look really beautiful when you're shy."

Lin Hai said this, then laughed and continued upstairs.

Bingbing froze for a moment, her ears turning red, her mind replaying Lin Hai's words, "You look really beautiful when you're shy."

For some reason, Bingbing felt her heartbeat speeding up. Her impression and feelings for Lin Hai had changed, and as for what exactly they had changed into, even she couldn't quite say. But now, just the thought of Lin Hai made her blush uncontrollably.

"Second floor, ladies' restroom..."

"Captain Wang is quite the rogue, staying in a hospital room so close to the ladies' restroom. Sleazy indeed."

Lin Hai entertained such naughty thoughts.

"Achoo!"

In the hospital room, Wang Dajun sneezed loudly.

"Is someone thinking about me? Could it be that President Ouyang is worried about my condition?" Wang Dajun rubbed his nose, happily thinking to himself.

Lin Hai pushed open the door of the hospital room.

Seeing Wang Dajun lying in the bed, now able to move his arms, but definitely unable to perform strenuous movements.

"Captain Wang, I've come to visit you." Lin Hai brought a pile of almost expired fruit and carried a black plastic bag containing the "Tang costume" he bought for Wang Dajun.

The moment Wang Dajun saw Lin Hai, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes, but then he thought, since Lin Hai hadn't fled during the last incident, it showed some courage. Maybe with a bit of correction, he could yet regain the manner of a soldier.

"Lin Hai, I should call you Captain Lin now, shouldn't I?" Wang Dajun's voice was slightly cold.

"Captain Wang, you've been the captain of the security team all along. I only managed to snag a deputy captain position through some cleverness; please don't put it that way." Lin Hai laughed, peeling an orange and handing it to him.

Wang Dajun then took the orange and nodded, thinking to himself that this fellow wasn't so bad after all. Not only had he not fled when it mattered, but he also knew how to prioritize. It seemed there was still hope for him to be set straight.

After eating an orange, Captain Wang's face changed.

Damn, it was too sour.

There was even a hint of bitterness in the sourness.

How can this taste so much like it's past its expiration date?

But seeing Lin Hai's sincere smile, Wang Dajun swallowed the words he was about to say.

"President Ouyang said she's occupied with something today and couldn't come to pick you up in person, and she hopes Captain Wang won't mind," Lin Hai said.

The moment Wang Dajun heard the words 'President Ouyang,' his eyes lit up, and he felt deeply moved, thinking: "President Ouyang actually sent someone to pick me up from the hospital, that's great. When I get back, I must rigorously train those security guards, strengthen the team's capabilities, and definitely gain President Ouyang's favor."

Lin Hai had no idea what Wang Dajun was thinking, but from the look in his eyes, he knew he must be plotting something related to Ouyang Xiaoya.

"That is, President Ouyang also specifically instructed me to buy you a decent outfit. There might be a ceremony to commend you later," Lin Hai said with a chuckle.

Captain Wang's face finally relaxed a bit, and he found Lin Hai slightly more bearable to look at, not as annoying as before.

"Come, Captain Wang, the clothes are here, please put them on."

Lin Hai smiled as he took out the "Tang costume" he had prepared from a black plastic bag.

He was thinking to himself that the outfit was actually not bad, mainly because it was cheap, which meant he could pocket a little extra money, and he had Wang Dajun to thank for that.

"Thank you for your trouble, Captain Lin, thanks."

"You're welcome. Here, Captain Wang, see if it fits."

The Tang costume was neatly folded.

Captain Wang glanced at it and thought of the classical style, thinking: "Does President Ouyang like me wearing traditional clothes? Hmm! It must be so, I'll have to wear this style more often in the future!"

It's just that the more he looked at the Tang costume, the more something felt off.

After spreading the clothes out completely, Captain Wang's confusion deepened and asked, "Captain Lin, is this bought by President Ouyang?"

"Oh, you misunderstood; President Ouyang ordered it, and I personally picked this Tang costume for you. Nice, right?"

Just as Lin Hai finished speaking, Captain Wang saw the big character "奠" (Zang) in the middle of the costume, and noticed all the small circles on the pants with the word "寿" (Longevity) inside, his face turned iron blue in an instant.

"Captain Wang, please put it on quickly, it'll definitely suit you," Lin Hai said with a smile, meaning well.

Captain Wang clutched the "Tang costume" tightly in his hands, staring at those two characters.

How the hell can this be a Tang costume?!

"Captain Lin, is this clothing bought by you?"

"Yes, President Ouyang ordered it, and how could I dare disobey? I even bought the shoes for you."

Lin Hai remembered that there were shoes in the plastic bag as well, which he immediately took out and proudly placed in front of Captain Wang, thinking, this should stop you from always opposing me now.

When Captain Wang looked at the shoes, also filled with "奠" (Zang) and "寿" (Longevity), he became completely certain of the true purpose of this outfit.

"What the hell is this thing!" Captain Wang erupted in anger.

Lin Hai, utterly puzzled and a bit displeased, answered, "It's a Tang costume. If Captain Wang doesn't like it, you could've just said so. Why are you getting so angry? I ran through several streets to find it specially for you."

"Pfft," Captain Wang, exasperated, spewed a mouthful of old blood onto the pristine hospital bed sheets.

This damn thing is a funeral garment, Lin Hai actually bought me a funeral garment, and is congratulating me on being discharged; isn't this implying sending me off to my grave? Only the dead wear funeral garments when discharged from a hospital!

"Captain Wang, why are you so agitated that you're spitting blood? No need to thank me, hurry up and put it on," Lin Hai said, clueless, thinking Captain Wang was overly excited.

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang nearly broke his teeth, his forehead throbbing with veins, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
