Seeing that Luo Ziling seemed a bit unhappy, Lin Lan hesitated for a moment before softly adding, "If you can heal the chief's injury, anyone here will regard you as a benefactor. In the future, if you ever need anything, we'll all help you!"

Lin Lan's words made Luo Ziling suddenly understand something, and he couldn't help feeling a bit smug.

Wouldn't it be awesome if these people rushed to save him when he was in trouble?

"Brothers, charge for me," he waved the little red flag in his hand, and a large group of elite special forces stormed forward, crushing his enemies into dust. What an exhilarating thought, just the idea was thrilling beyond words!

Then another thought struck him, and he quietly asked Lin Lan, "What if I need your help with something, would you help me?"

Lin Lan didn't directly answer but stiffly replied, "I owe you my life."

"..." Luo Ziling was taken aback by Lin Lan's response and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Lin Lan gave him a look but said nothing.

Luo Ziling couldn't help feeling frustrated. Why were there several women around him who liked to play it cool?

Ouyang Feifei was like this, and so was Lin Lan. Was it so difficult to have a normal conversation? Would a few extra words kill them?

Lin Lan remained silent, focused solely on eating her meal, quickly finishing her portion. Luo Ziling had no choice but to stop asking questions and began eating rapidly as well.

Lin Lan had brought a lot of food, and she ate a good deal of it herself, leaving even more for Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling had a hearty appetite, devouring all of the food Lin Lan had left.

"Let's go, I'll take you back," Lin Lan said after cleaning up the dishes, gesturing for Luo Ziling to follow her out as she would take him back.

"You really should rest a bit," Luo Ziling softly suggested as he followed Lin Lan out, "Otherwise, let someone else take me back. Those two guys who fought with me could do it, they should give me some face, right?"

Lin Lan glanced at Luo Ziling without answering, her steps unwavering as she continued forward.

Luo Ziling was immediately overwhelmed by Lin Lan's cool demeanor and was left with no choice but to remain silent.

Upon entering the Humvee with a regular license plate, and just as Luo Ziling had buckled his seatbelt, Lin Lan floored the accelerator and the vehicle shot forward.

Lin Lan was a beautiful girl who would cause any man to do a double-take, but driving habits revealed to Luo Ziling that she was undoubtedly a tomboy with a rough disposition. Her temperament was cruder and more explosive than most men, and Luo Ziling felt that being married to such a woman would surely be a miserable experience. In contrast, the coldness of someone like Ouyang Feifei was more tolerable because there was no need to worry about violent tendencies around her.

"Who could ever tame a woman like Lin Lan?" Luo Ziling couldn't help but wonder curiously.

During the trip, the two of them hardly exchanged words.

Luo Ziling actually wanted to talk more with Lin Lan out of sheer curiosity.

However, with Lin Lan keeping a stern face, showing no interest in conversation, he ultimately kept silent without asking any questions.

As they neared the school, Lin Lan took the initiative to speak up, "Could you also treat the scars of one of my comrades?"

"Your comrade? Male or female?" Luo Ziling asked instinctively.

"Female!"

"Female? Which part of the body is injured?" Luo Ziling had been to Lin Lan's mysterious place several times, but apart from a few nurses, he hadn't seen any other women, which piqued his curiosity.

"On the back, in front, and on the legs!" When she said this, Lin Lan gave Luo Ziling a strange look.

"Maybe we shouldn't," feeling a bit creeped out by Lin Lan's odd gaze, Luo Ziling said with a touch of embarrassment, "or I could give you some medicine and you could treat her following my method. You're capable of doing it anyway."

"We'll see when the time comes," Lin Lan didn't say much more and closed her mouth again.

After getting out of the car, Luo Ziling didn't immediately close the door but held it open, sincerely telling Lin Lan, "Actually, you're quite beautiful. If you didn't keep such a straight face all the time, and smiled and talked more often, you'd be even more attractive and likable!"

After saying that, Luo Ziling shut the car door with a "bang" and took off running, as if he was deeply afraid that Lin Lan would chase after him to beat him up.

Luo Ziling unexpectedly said these words as he got out of the car, leaving Lin Lan stunned there, still not having recovered by the time he had run far away.

Looking in the direction Luo Ziling had run off to, Lin Lan then touched her own cheek and brought her head close to the rearview mirror. She tried to smile, but only saw a woman squeeze out an unattractive grin in the reflection, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

By the time Luo Ziling returned to his dorm, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time of day, the three guys sharing his dorm were still in military training.

Bursting into the deserted dorm room, Luo Ziling realized that his clothes were soaked with a sweaty smell, so he hurried into the bathroom to shower. While showering, he heard his phone ringing—it was his ringtone.

However, since he was washing his hair, he didn't immediately rush out to answer the phone.

After the phone had rung once, the notification sound for WeChat messages went off, seemingly several messages coming in.

Fearing someone might be trying to reach him for something urgent, Luo Ziling quickly finished his shower, put on only a pair of shorts, and ran out from the bathroom.

While toweling off his hair, he saw the missed call was from Ouyang Huihui.

The several WeChat messages were also from Ouyang Huihui.

The two had added each other as WeChat friends at Ouyang Huihui's initiative. Luo Ziling didn't really want to add this woman whom he wished to avoid upon seeing.

"Luo Ziling, why didn't you answer my call?"

"I need to speak with you!"

"Are you there? Tonight, my grandfather is inviting you over for dinner!"

"Are you deliberately not answering my calls?" followed by several angry emojis at the end of the last message.

After some thought, Luo Ziling finally picked up the phone and made a return call.

The phone rang once before Ouyang Huihui answered. Before she could say anything, Luo Ziling immediately explained, "I was taking a shower."

Ouyang Huihui, who was prepared to blow up, felt better upon hearing Luo Ziling's explanation but still said ferociously, "Then where are you?"

"Of course, I'm in my dorm, not even dressed yet. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself!"

"Scoundrel," Ouyang Huihui spat, with her tone slightly softer but still not really friendly, "my grandpa is inviting you over for dinner to discuss some matters. Are you willing to go?"

"Alright, I'll go," after thinking it over, Luo Ziling eventually didn't refuse.

"Then good, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot!" Ouyang Huihui said where she'd be waiting, then hung up the call.
