Shen Dongqi was very thoughtful. He left Song Yan's prescription, explaining clearly how to use it, and even found the missing herbs. He told Song Yan to rest for a while, and he would drive her home shortly. After all, Lao Liu still needed someone to look after him…

Shen Dongqi said that he told Lao Liu that Bai Shuang was in a lot of pain and that after letting it recover from its injuries, they would amputate its limbs. However, he didn't mention the specifics, especially Bai Shuang's current miserable state, and that Bai Shuang was still in critical condition.

Song Yan understood; this was being kept secret from Wei Aiguo. Song Yan thanked Shen Dongqi.

When Song Yan got off the bus at the hospital entrance, he saw a woman in the distance whose profile resembled Fang Jinghua. She turned into a distant alley and disappeared from sight.

Shen Dongqi handed two lunchboxes to Song Yan, saying, "Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the team in a bit, so I won't go up. This is food I got from the training camp canteen. You won't have any food at the hospital right now."

Shen Dongqi drove off without waiting for Song Yan's reply.

The lunchbox is still warm!

Song Yan composed himself and slowly walked upstairs.

The ward door was ajar. Why wasn't it closed? Song Yan pushed the door open.

"Get out!"

Song Yan: ? ? ?

What's wrong with you?

Wei Aiguo was taken aback. "I thought... someone else had come in."

Song Yan: "Is Fang Jinghua here?"

Wei Aiguo nodded. "How did you guess?"

Song Yan: "I saw someone's profile downstairs just now, and I think it looks a lot like her."

Wei Aiguo: "How is Bai Shuang?"

"The white frost is okay, but it's not suitable for oral medication, so I'm using it as a topical treatment."

"Dogs are the most intelligent animals, especially trained military dogs. White Frost is truly exceptionally clever. You…"

Song Yan: "I prescribed three days' worth of medication. We'll see how it goes after three days. If it works well, maybe amputation won't be necessary."

"Really?" Wei Aiguo grabbed Song Yan excitedly. "It's already heartbreaking enough that Bai Shuang is retiring in its prime. I heard it also needs amputation, I...I..."

Song Yan: "Don't worry! I'll do my best. And don't think too much about it, as long as it's alive, that's good enough."

"You're so kind!" Wei Aiguo held Song Yan tightly.

"Have you eaten?" Song Yan asked.

"The doctor on duty got me my meal. You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Wei Aiguo saw the lunchbox that Song Yan had put down.

Song Yan washed his hands and opened the lunchbox. One box contained white rice, and the other surprisingly contained braised pork. Both were packed full. "There's so much, you should eat some more, I can't finish it all." Then Song Yan took out some of the rice.

Wei Aiguo: "The little bit of food they gave me wasn't enough for me at all."

The two ate together. Song Yan washed the lunchbox and sat down on the only stool in the ward next to the bed.

Wei Aiguo: "What are you doing?" Song Yan sat there seriously, and Wei Aiguo felt a little uneasy.

Song Yan: "You've done something wrong, that's why you're so guilty."

Wei Aiguo: "No!"

Song Yan: "I ran into Fang Jinghua causing trouble for you on my first day here, and she's here again today. There must be a reason for this!"

Wei Aiguo's expression clearly indicated that he was unwilling to talk about it, or that he found it difficult to talk about it.

Song Yan: "Fang Jinghua wants you to apologize. Apologize for what?"

"I did nothing wrong, I won't apologize." Wei Aiguo's expression darkened, clearly recalling something unpleasant.

Song Yan: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but yesterday I heard them say that you called nurses ugly monsters."

Fang Jianhua will come looking for you, and maybe he'll come looking for me too. Can you keep the whole story from me? Besides, I know nothing about it; won't that catch me off guard?

Wei Aiguo immediately explained, not wanting Song Yan to misunderstand. "I'm not trying to hide anything from you, it's just that, well, about this..."

Wei Aiguo was airlifted to the hospital by helicopter along with Bai Shuang. Upon arrival, he was immediately taken to the operating room, where his arm underwent cleaning and suturing.

After leaving the operating room, Director Qiao had someone change Wei Aiguo's pants, saying that he should be given clean clothes for his lower body and his leg should be put in a cast.

Fang Jinghua was the nurse on duty that day.

The army sent Xiao Dali to take care of Wei Aiguo, along with two other comrades. They were quite flustered and afraid of hurting Wei's injured leg. They were all very careful.

Fang Jinghua suddenly opened the door and came in. Wei Aiguo hurriedly pulled his clothes over himself. He had never seen a woman so shameless. Didn't she know that a man was changing clothes? She was so brazen.

Fang Jinghua was annoyed by their slow pace. "You're dawdling and hiding things, don't you have any manly manners? Hurry up!"

Song Yan could imagine how embarrassed Wei Aiguo must have felt at that moment.

Wei Aiguo's arm was still under numbing, so it didn't hurt much, but his leg ached. His body also ached from the fall. Fang Jinghua's disregard for his privacy infuriated Wei Aiguo. But they didn't waste any time. They quickly took off their blood-stained clothes…

After Director Qiao finished putting a cast on Wei Aiguo's left leg, he started an IV drip.

Fang Jinghua would chatter away every time she entered the ward.

Wei Aiguo was not only in pain himself, but the image of his comrades sacrificing their lives was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't know how Bai Shuang was doing. Another seriously wounded soldier had been sent to a larger hospital because they couldn't treat him there.

Wei Aiguo had a bad first impression of Fang Jinghua. He wouldn't answer anything she said. The same thing happened the next day.

Fang Jinghua didn't know what got into her, but she just kept circling around Wei Aiguo.
