Qiao Hanxue almost had his brains pop out from his son's shaking. He slapped him away, his tone full of disgust.

"Don't shake me, what if my face mask flies off?" Qiao Hanxue quickly grabbed the small mirror next to him while he was applying the face mask and checked to see if his face mask had fallen off anywhere.

Qiao Gaoyang and the other two: "..."

"Is it my problem or Dad's problem?" Qiao Gaoyang couldn't believe it.

Qiao Shouyan didn't want to speak ill of his own father, so he chose to remain silent.

Qiao Gaoyang then looked at Lu Zhengjun.

Lu Zhengjun dared not utter any more outrageous remarks, and could only shake her head with a clear and innocent expression.

"Don't look at me, I don't understand."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Qiao Xinruo, with an expression that seemed to see through everything, made a judgment on the three clueless fools, "You guys are still too young and don't understand."

"It's okay, I don't want to say anything to you, but as your younger sister, I have to remind you that only men who know how to take care of themselves have a future."

Qiao Xinruo said the last sentence while staring at Lu Zhengjun.

After all, both older brothers are still unmarried, so it's okay if they're a little rough around the edges; it's not a big problem.

Taking advantage of youth, it's certainly not too late to take care of yourself after you start dating. After all, you're still a fresh-faced young man now.

But Lu Zhengjun is different!

Although he is excellent in every way, he is now disfigured, and his sister is as beautiful as an angel. If he is not careful, he will be overshadowed and look terrible.

Lu Zhengjun: "..."

He felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

However, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he felt he understood the meaningful look in Qiao Xinruo's eyes.

Is this a reminder to him?

Lu Zhengjun's greatest strength is that she listens to advice.

Listen to advice, and you'll have a good meal!

Moreover, he is now disfigured and is already inferior to Su Yueya in appearance. If he doesn't work hard, won't he be left far behind?

However, his immediate priority is to remove the scars on his face; cosmetic procedures like those for his father-in-law will have to wait.

"Brother-in-law, you... really?" Qiao Gaoyang looked at the silent Lu Zhengjun and felt that one of his comrades had already deserted. He quickly put his arm around his older brother's shoulder and said worriedly, "Brother, one and a half of them have already defected. You have to hold on. We're the only two left in our family who haven't gone crazy."

Qiao Shouyan: "..." He didn't dare to say anything, but he was a little restless.

Qiao Xinruo simply looked at her stubborn second brother and shook her head again.

And just like that, the little beauty incident passed.

Lu Zhengjun continued to bathe in the spiritual spring every other day, and after nearly a month of this, the changes were obvious.

The scars on his body—below his heart—have mostly healed.

The area above the heart is also showing promising progress due to the increased application of scar removal cream.

As for my face, because I deliberately reduced the amount of scar removal cream I used to control the speed at which the scars faded, it looks like it's recovering the slowest, and there are still clear scars.

However, compared to when he returned to the army, the changes are still quite obvious.

In the military, Lu Zhengjun was always a prominent figure and never lacked attention.

His recovery speed is of great concern.

The changes in the scars, of course, did not escape everyone's attention.

"Have you noticed that Lu Tuan's scars have faded a lot? Seriously, when I saw him today, they seemed much lighter than when he first came back!"

"Found it! But it's nothing serious, Lu Tuan must have used some scar removal product."

Since the scar is on her face and covers a large area, everyone naturally assumed that Lu Zhengjun would use scar removal cream to treat it.

“I know he’ll definitely use scar removal products, but don’t you think it heals exceptionally quickly?”

"What's the big deal? Maybe they used some secret formula. Don't you know that Lu Tuan's wife is a doctor, and I heard that her family is a family of doctors!"

"No wonder...it must be a secret recipe!"

"I felt quite sorry before. There's not a second handsome face like Lu Tuan's in our army. It would be such a pity if it were ruined. It would be a good thing if it could be cured!"

"Of course, Lu Tuan was injured while carrying out a mission, so of course we hope he can recover."

The amount of attention Lu Zhengjun received was more than she had imagined.

However, everyone was kind and never discussed these things in front of Lu Zhengjun, so as not to embarrass him.

Moreover, everyone's discussions were just gossip and curiosity, which was completely different from Liu Dekai's comments, which were clearly sarcastic.

That day, a meeting was held within the military, and it was said that all officers of regimental commander rank and above were required to attend.

Lu Zhengjun was also present.

In addition to work arrangements, the meeting also included a summary of the completion of the previous top-level mission, with special praise for Lu Zhengjun and others.

When Lu Zhengjun's name was mentioned, many eyes turned to him.

Despite his ugly scars covering his face, Lu Zhengjun showed no stage fright at this moment. He sat confidently in his seat, allowing others to gaze upon him.

Qiao Shouyan was also there.

When everyone glanced at Lu Zhengjun from time to time, he frowned slightly, but didn't show any emotion.

As the meeting ended and everyone prepared to leave, Qiao Shouyan was about to leave with Lu Zhengjun. Before he could even reach Lu Zhengjun's side, he saw a woman find Lu Zhengjun ahead of him.

Qiao Shouyan immediately stopped and looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

As for what they are saying...

Both the woman and Lu Zhengjun deliberately lowered their voices, so Qiao Shouyan didn't hear anything. He only saw the woman's expression change from slightly tense at the beginning to a relaxed smile.

Qiao Shouyan: "..."

He recognized the woman; she was Bai Nanxun, a famously aloof and elegant female soldier in the army.

Bai Nanxun is beautiful and aloof, and is currently single.

Before Lu Zhengjun got married, when the male and female soldiers in the army were bored, they often put the two names together and said that they were a perfect match.

As for whether the two had any prior contact, Qiao Shouyan wasn't sure and felt he'd have to ask his second brother to find out...

However, considering how devoted Lu Zhengjun was to his younger sister, he felt that nothing should happen.

Besides, it was Bai Nanxun who took the initiative to go to Lu Zhengjun this time.

Qiao Shouyan silently made a mental note of it, and then left.

Bai Nanxun is not only beautiful and charming, but also a regimental commander. Female soldiers who can sit in this position are obviously much rarer than male soldiers.

"Did Commander Bai need something?" Lu Zhengjun stopped and maintained a normal social distance from Bai Nanxun.

“Hmm,” Bai Nanxun nodded, completely ignoring the people around them who were looking at them, and whispered, “Commander Lu, can we talk in private for a moment?”

Lu Zhengjun nodded. As far as he knew, Bai Nanxun was a decent person.
