Luo Ziling ultimately refused the pale-faced man's invitation.

He had no interest in enlisting in the military; being a soldier was not his dream at the moment.

His current identity was that of a student, which represented a rather complicated situation.

Having never attended school before, the fact that he could attend university in Yanjing definitely meant there were many special circumstances involved.

It was even possible that this was arranged by the mother he had never met.

His grandfather had sent him away from the small mountain village in the hope that he would return to urban life.

Therefore, he definitely couldn't join the military and live a life cut off from the world once again.

Luo Ziling could feel that although the people here were not living in complete isolation from the world, they lacked much freedom.

There were so many restrictions on coming and going; this was not the life he wanted.

In fact, in just one sentence, he had no intention of becoming a soldier, so after hesitating for a moment, he directly refused.

The pale-faced man seemed not surprised, patted Luo Ziling's shoulder, and then walked away with the dark-faced burly man.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Luo Ziling looked at Lin Lan with some displeasure, "Also, I mysteriously got into a fight with them, and now I don't even know who they are."

"The man who just invited you is Eagle, and the darker-faced one is Falcon," Lin Lan hesitated for a moment before revealing something to Luo Ziling.

"Oh? Why are they all named after birds of prey?" Luo Ziling seemed a bit surprised, but he quickly understood and said cheerfully, "So those are your codenames. What's your codename then?"

Lin Lan was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

That's too much!

This jerk was definitely intentionally disparaging them, using their codenames as a pretext to insult them.

Such a small-minded man. Was it just because she gave him a little scare? Lin Lan felt a bit of contempt for Luo Ziling.

"Why did they want to fight me? Was it really just to exchange ideas?" Luo Ziling still didn't quite believe that today's fight was just for sparring, and he felt there was something odd about it, unable to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

"They saw you were skilled, so they wanted to see just how good you are, and they also wanted to recruit you to our side," Lin Lan explained.

After hearing her words, Luo Ziling forced himself to believe her and then asked another question, "Do you want me to be here?"

"I don't," Lin Lan replied stiffly.

"Why?" Luo Ziling was taken aback; he thought Lin Lan would also like him to be here.

The only thing that attracted him here was the presence of Lin Lan, the woman.

He had thought that Lin Lan felt a special fondness for him and hoped to spend more time with him, but it turned out to be wishful thinking, leaving him quite downhearted.

"You're not suitable for here," Lin Lan's words were still emotionless, and without lingering any longer, she strode towards the small building where she lived.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling still followed her.

"What kind of soldiers are you?" This was what Luo Ziling most wanted to know, hoping Lin Lan would tell him.

"Guess by yourself!"

"..." Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment before asking again, "Are you a very secretive special forces unit?"

"Guess by yourself!"

Luo Ziling was suddenly at a loss for words; he felt it was very tiring to talk to this woman. Either she didn't say anything, or she asked him to guess, as if being played with. He had seen such scenes on TV where a woman teases a man, making the man guess whatever she wants him to.

"Couldn't it be that she's interested in me and that's why she's making me guess?" This thought emerged for less than a second before Luo Ziling denied it. Lin Lan had always been cold towards him, reluctant to speak much; it was impossible for her to be interested, more likely she had an opinion about him.

Interested and opinionated, just one character difference, but the meaning is completely different.

As Luo Ziling was caught in his own struggles, Lin Lan used her fingerprint to unlock the door to the room.

After entering the room, she took off her cool military boots without greeting Luo Ziling and walked into the room on her own.

Luo Ziling was a bit conflicted; this woman was really a bit annoying. What kind of hospitality was this?

On the way over, she hadn't spoken to him, nor had she invited him.

After following her into the room, she didn't greet him and just went into her own room.

He didn't know whether he should change his shoes and follow her in, stand there, or turn around and leave.

It seemed the people here had never properly learned etiquette and did not know how to treat guests.

When the opportunity arises, he would suggest to the elderly to instruct these people on etiquette and raise their emotional intelligence.

After some thought, he eventually took off his shoes and walked towards the inner room.

But as he reached the door of the room and saw what was happening inside, Luo Ziling stopped in his tracks.

Because Lin Lan had started to undress.

Was she trying to force herself on him? If it came to that, what should he do? Reject or accept?

However, that thought appeared only briefly before he denied it himself.

Must be joking!

"You didn't forget anything this time, did you?" Lin Lan asked indifferently.

"I've brought everything," Luo Ziling swallowed again, moving his Adam's apple and said with embarrassment, "But I need boiled water that's cooled down, which I couldn't bring."

Seeing Luo Ziling looking quite embarrassed, Lin Lan nearly couldn't help laughing after giving him a couple of glances.

"There's a basin in the bathroom, and there's water in the kettle," Lin Lan, feeling too embarrassed to dress again and prepare the warm water, could only ask Luo Ziling to do it.

Luo Ziling obediently ran into the bathroom, took a basin and poured half a basin of boiling water.

After preparing the water, he laid out his brought tools and medication, then instructed Lin Lan, "Let's get started!"

After Lin Lan nodded, she asked, "Should I sit or lie down?"

"Lie down," Luo Ziling responded.

Lin Lan didn't say anything else and obediently lay down.
