Translator: 549690339
Lin Lan was not the least embarrassed, still helping Luo Ziling easily and composedly walked towards the small building she resided in, under the gaze of her comrades, without a word of explanation.

“Let me walk by myself,” Luo Ziling finally struggled out of Lin Lan’s support, his face flushing as he explained to those muscled men who were looking at him weirdly, “Treated an elder, exhausted my strength, she’s helping me rest a bit.”

In fact, Luo Ziling’s explanation was unnecessary, his clarification did not change the astonishment in the hearts of Lin Lan’s comrades.

They knew Lin Lan’s temperament best; she was a female soldier who never feigned kindness to any man, fiery in nature, unbullied and unteased. They had been with Lin Lan for years and never saw her intimate with another man; it could be said that within Dragon Rise, everyone disregarded her gender.

But today, they saw Lin Lan helping Luo Ziling out and even escorting him to her room to rest, which was unprecedented.

Moreover, with Lin Lan supporting Luo Ziling in front of them, they naturally were full of astonishment. However, after seeing Lin Lan giving them looks that could kill, several guys ran off as if they were competing in a sprint.

“Would they misunderstand?” Luo Ziling asked softly after following a tense-faced Lin Lan into her room.

Lin Lan glared at Luo Ziling and said nothing.

Luo Ziling felt very awkward inside but didn’t dare to ask anything further.

“The old injury from last treatment has recovered quite well, do you want to check it again?” After entering the bedroom, Lin Lan asked Luo Ziling emotionlessly, making a gesture to take off the leather jacket she wore on the outside.

“Then let’s not look,” Luo Ziling waved his hands. Although he really wanted to see how the scars were doing and was even more eager to see Lin Lan’s upper body, the bashfulness in his heart overcame the impulse, “You haven’t done any strenuous exercise these past two days, so the wound wouldn’t have opened; if the wound hasn’t opened, there should be no issue. But still, be careful, the medicine I gave you needs to be applied every day, and in about two months, any sign of the wound will disappear, and your skin will be even whiter and smoother than before.”

This made Lin Lan’s face instantly blush a pink shade, and she gave him a peculiar glance.

“Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t say there was anything not smooth and white about you…” The words started spilling out in an explanation, but he only got halfway before realizing it was inappropriate and forcibly stopped himself. Though Lin Lan’s face was a bit dark, and her body not as white as other girls, her chest was still quite pale.

Moreover, such private issues should not be discussed; having spoken some things he should not have, Luo Ziling felt quite embarrassed inside.

In an attempt to make up for his blunder, Luo Ziling quickly tried to appease her, “How about next time I bring you some skincare medicine? If you apply it regularly, your skin will definitely become softer and whiter!”

Luo Ziling’s words naturally touched Lin Lan’s heart; though she was not an ordinary woman, she had the same pursuit of beauty as any woman. “Alright then,” she did not refuse and readily accepted.

Seeing that Luo Ziling’s clothes were soaked with sweat, Lin Lan thought for a moment and pointed to the bathroom, “Take a shower first. I’ve prepared a set of clean clothes for you; I’ll go get you something to eat.”

“Isn’t it still not lunchtime?” Looking at the time, it was only half-past ten, quite a while before lunchtime. Although he was hungry, Luo Ziling had not thought about having lunch yet.

Lin Lan didn’t say anything, just glanced at Luo Ziling twice before walking out.

After hearing the door close outside, Luo Ziling felt incredibly conflicted inside.

He wanted to sleep and also to take a bath, but with Lin Lan gone, neither sleeping nor bathing seemed appropriate.

But after hesitating for a moment, he decided to just take a quick shower and then rest a bit.

Rushing into the bathroom, he took off his clothes and hurried under the showerhead. Normally there would be some of Lin Lan’s personal belongings in the bathroom, but today, besides a set of men’s underwear, there was nothing else, leading to a slight disappointment for Luo Ziling.

Intimate possessions of a woman always lead men to flights of fancy, especially for someone like him, a virgin who had never had any close relationships with a woman.

He could only suppress his wicked thoughts and hurriedly took a shower.

After the shower, Luo Ziling put on the underwear that Lin Lan had prepared for him.

To his surprise, he found the underwear Lin Lan had prepared for him fitted perfectly.

This woman, she’s quite thoughtful, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel warm inside.

After drying his hair and stepping out of the bathroom, Lin Lan hadn’t returned yet.

Having taken a shower, Luo Ziling’s sleepiness intensified, and he couldn’t help but yawn several times.

In the end, he couldn’t fight off the drowsiness and fell asleep on Lin Lan’s bed.

In his sleep, he felt someone enter, the person came in with such light steps, hardly making a sound, but Luo Ziling still felt it.

He knew it was Lin Lan and didn’t pay much attention, after half-opening his eyes, he continued to sleep.

After nearly two hours of sleep, Luo Ziling finally woke up to find Lin Lan standing by the window, gazing outside absentmindedly.

“Sorry,” Luo Ziling scrambled out of Lin Lan’s bed in a fluster and quickly explained, “I was just too sleepy, I couldn’t wake up instantly.”

“Let’s eat first,” Lin Lan turned around, her face expressionless as she looked at Luo Ziling, then pointed to several meal boxes on a table in the outer room.”

Luo Ziling glanced at the time, it was already past noon, he had slept for nearly two hours and felt quite embarrassed about it.

His grandfather had reminded him before that no matter the circumstances, one should always be vigilant, and never sleep too soundly, as this is something every martial artist must remember, or else one might lose their life while sleeping.

Before, Luo Ziling’s vigilance was very high, no matter the situation, he would wake up immediately if there were any abnormalities.

But while sleeping at Lin Lan’s place, he almost lost all his vigilance.

Could it be because he was sleeping on a woman’s bed? Luo Ziling didn’t know if that was the reason.

It was fortunate that Lin Lan held no hostility towards him, and she also didn’t seem to mind that he had slept on her bed without asking.

They ate lunch in silence; Luo Ziling felt too embarrassed to say anything, while Lin Lan was not fond of talking and didn’t find anything unusual with the silence when interacting with others. After finishing their meal silently and clearing away the meal boxes, Lin Lan gestured for Luo Ziling to follow her into the bedroom.

“Treat the scar on my leg!” Lin Lan’s command was somewhat indisputable.

Luo Ziling obediently followed her back into the bedroom.

Without saying much, Lin Lan turned her back to him and, in front of Luo Ziling, unbuckled her belt.
