Tang Ran carried Zuo Yuan on her back and went straight back to the military hospital, where she placed him in a single room.

"Just lie down for a while. I'll get you some clothes and some food. I'll check on you later."

Tang Ran smiled with red eyes and instructed Zuo Yuan, and Zuo Yuan also smiled with red eyes and agreed. After Tang Ran walked out of the ward, one of them cried silently in the corridor, and the other shed tears silently on the hospital bed. Only they themselves knew all the sad emotions.

Tang Ran's level of discomfort at this moment was no less than when she first saw Zuo Yuan's pair of broken legs.

Soon, Meng Yizhou hurried over. When someone came to tell him to come over, Meng Yizhou did not dare to delay at all.

"What happened?"

"Wait here for me for a moment."

Tang Ran went to an empty ward and took out a complete set of clothes from the space that was suitable for Zuo Yuan to wear, from inside to outside.

"Zuo Yuan is in this ward. Go and help him change his clothes first."

Tang Ran simply cut her pants to the right length, which would also make it easier for her to check Zuo Yuan's legs later.

"I'm going to get something to eat. Once you're changed, open the door and I'll know."

When Meng Yizhou learned that the person in the room was Zuo Yuan, he entered the ward immediately. After seeing Zuo Yuan, he felt distressed. He simply asked someone to get hot water so that Zuo Yuan could take a bath. He also cut Zuo Yuan's hair and finally changed him into the clothes prepared by Tang Ran.

Zuo Yuan was not being pretentious. He knew his current situation too well. Even if not for himself, it was also for Tang Ran to no longer feel sad for him.

The feeling of comradeship is something that anyone who has never been a soldier and fought side by side will never be able to feel.

When Tang Ran came back, she saw Zuo Yuan, who looked so neat and clean.

"You're pressed for time, so I ordered some spare ribs and some sliced ​​pork with cabbage. Just to make it a meal. I'll cook for you in the evening."

Tang Ran returned only after she had adjusted her mood, and the same was true for Zuo Yuan.

Meng Yizhou did not leave. The three of them started talking about things that happened on the battlefield. On the surface, the atmosphere was very harmonious and no one mentioned anything bad.

"Let me see your legs. Lie down."

Meng Yizhou immediately helped Zuo Yuan lie down, and Tang Ran slowly released light-based supernatural powers on Zuo Yuan's legs. The situation was not too bad. With the help of supernatural power treatment, he could soon try wearing a prosthesis.

"Rest for another two days. After that, I'll give you a prosthetic limb. After that, practice walking with the prosthetic limb more and you'll be fine."

…………

During these two days, Tang Ran and Zuo Yuan's conversations deliberately avoided unhappy topics. On the third day, Tang Ran began to install a prosthetic limb for Zuo Yuan. Although it was not as free and easy as the prosthetic limbs worn in later generations, it was the best Tang Ran could do.

"The next step is to get familiar with the prosthesis. This takes time. Don't be impatient. Take your time."

"Yeah, I know."

Zuo Yuan was undoubtedly happy, even though Tang Ran had said before that she would let him stand up, he did not take it too seriously. But after he really stood up and took the first step with the help of something, Zuo Yuan saw endless hope.

"Xiao Ran, forget about Zuo Ming."

"That woman treated you like this, do you believe Zuo Ming didn't know anything?"

"Even if he's my biological brother, he has his own life. Ultimately, I'm just a burden. Let's just forget it."

Tang Ran was a little angry at Zuo Yuan for not fighting back, but she also knew that she couldn't interfere too much. However, she still had to teach him a lesson, so there was no need to argue with Zuo Yuan.

"Okay, stop worrying about it. Just focus on your training. You'll stay at the hospital for the time being. I've applied for housing from our division commander Fang. You'll live at the military district from now on. We'll make plans later."

What Tang Ran didn't say was that she found Commander Fang and wanted to use her military merits to get Zuo Yuan a job as a custodian in the military district's information room. The workload wasn't too intense, and it gave him something to do so that he wouldn't have to think about random things all day. Anyway, he had a prosthetic limb, so he could do the job.

Commander Fang had already agreed and did not ask Tang Ran to use military merits to offset the loss.

Zuo Yuan worked very hard to adapt to the prosthesis without anyone urging him. By the time the army conference was about to be held in the military district, Zuo Yuan was almost able to walk slowly without any external help.

"That's great, you can already walk."

As soon as Tang Ran arrived at the ward, he started praising Zuo Yuan. Zuo Yuan didn't refute him. He really could walk. He just smiled widely, took the towel that Tang Ran had just thrown for him, and wiped the sweat off his head.

"Why are you dressed so formally today?"

"Well, for a general military meeting, we have to dress formally, right?

I have to go on a mission in a couple of days. When I come back, I will take you back to the approved housing. I will ask Meng Yizhou to come and take care of you for the next few days. If you need anything, just ask the nurse here to call him."

In the first few days, Meng Yizhou took care of Zuo Yuan 24 hours a day. Since Zuo Yuan was able to stand up and walk with the help of something, he could take care of himself. Meng Yizhou came less often, but he would come occasionally. During this period, other members of the military medical team who knew Zuo Yuan also came to visit him, and Lu Jinshu also came. In short, in an unfamiliar military area, Zuo Yuan miraculously had a sense of belonging.

"I can take care of myself completely now. Apart from having trouble going up and down stairs, I can walk on flat ground independently. You don't have to worry about me."

"When you came back from Country Y, you said you could take care of yourself. Don't make any promises to me. Just be obedient. If you have any problems, go directly to Meng Yizhou. If you don't obey, I will remove your prosthetic limbs when I come back!"

"This is awesome for you!"

Zuo Yuan opened the meal that Tang Ran brought him.

"Didn't Lu Jinshu come with you today?"

"Well, he's quite busy. You know, being a regimental commander is not a good thing. If something happens, he'll be busy like a top."

Zuo Yuan nodded in agreement, and it was indeed the case.

"So you two have to wait until you're done with this before you can file your marriage registration, right? You're not young anymore, so don't put it off too long."

Tang Ran: ..., do you want to hear what you are saying?

"Who am I going to file a marriage report with? Besides, I'm only 22, how can I be considered old? When you say that, I feel like I'm buried up to my neck in dirt. That's too much."

"You are young, but Lu Jinshu is not young anymore. If you are not anxious, why don't you make others anxious?"

Tang Ran felt like he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, but he didn't intend to refute it. Let it be a misunderstanding, it was much better than letting others make malicious speculations about Lu Jinshu.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm still young and I have the final say!"

Zuo Yuan smiled and shook his head. Tang Ran was so heartless. Lu Jinshu, tsk tsk tsk..., some of him had to endure it.
