Chapter 30 Su Xiaoyu's Jealousy

"Have you heard? Battalion Commander Gu's sister stopped the bleeding of a critically ill gunshot wound specialist with just a few needles this afternoon at the hospital!"

"More than that! Later, he personally performed the surgery and removed the shrapnel from next to his heart! The experts from the province were stunned!"

"My God! Really? How old is she? Wasn't she supposed to be...as beautiful as an angel? And she can do this?"

"Absolutely true! Xiao Zhou saw it with his own eyes! She's incredibly beautiful! More beautiful than all the women in the cultural troupe combined! And the key is, she's also so talented!"

"A performing arts troupe? Tsk tsk, who even watches performing arts troupes these days! Battalion Commander Gu's sister is the real goddess! Beautiful, kind-hearted, and incredibly capable!"

"I wonder if Battalion Commander Gu's sister has a boyfriend..."

"You wish! Didn't you see the look in Lu Tuan's eyes this afternoon? He looked like a wolf guarding its food!"

"Commander Lu? He also...?"

"Nonsense! Who wouldn't be interested in such a good girl? But it seems that Commander Lu has the advantage of being in close proximity..."

"Alas, if the Lu Group was born, why were we born as well..."

The rumors became increasingly exaggerated, and in the minds of many young military officers, Gu Baobao's image was completely transformed from a possibly good-looking military dependent into a perfect goddess with unparalleled medical skills and celestial beauty, someone who should only exist in heaven.

Gu Dongguo's previous comment about the "dark-skinned fat man" has long been swept into the dustbin of history, becoming irrefutable evidence that everyone was mocking Gu Dongguo for being blind.

This trend naturally reached the military region's cultural troupe as well.

In the evening, during a break from rehearsals, the performing arts troupe...

Several young female soldiers huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with excitement and envy.

"Hey, have you heard? Battalion Commander Gu's sister from the Third Battalion has arrived! She's incredibly beautiful! And she can even heal the sick!"

"I heard! I heard! It's all over the hospital this afternoon! They're saying he's a little miracle doctor!"

"Really? She's even prettier than our Xiaoyu?"

"I don't know, I heard...maybe about the same? No, some people say she's even prettier than Sister Xiaoyu..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

As they were talking, a tall and beautiful figure walked over.

It was Su Xiaoyu, the mainstay of the performing arts troupe.

She was wearing a training uniform, her figure was graceful, and her face was bright, but there was no smile on her face at the moment, and her thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"What are you talking about? All this noise."

Su Xiaoyu's voice was clear and crisp, with a touch of her usual pride.

The female soldiers immediately fell silent, exchanging awkward glances. One of them, who was closer to Su Xiaoyu, mustered her courage and said:

"Sister Xiaoyu, we were talking about... Battalion Commander Gu's sister. We heard she saved someone at the hospital this afternoon; her medical skills are amazing, and she's incredibly beautiful too..."

As Su Xiaoyu listened, her fingers, painted with light pink nail polish, unconsciously tightened their grip on the towel she was using to wipe her sweat.

Battalion Commander Gu's sister?

That country girl?

She vaguely heard rumors in the afternoon that a particularly beautiful girl had arrived and had captivated a group of young soldiers at the hospital.

She scoffed at the idea, thinking, "What kind of beauty could come from the countryside?"

How good can it be, no matter how beautiful it is?

Who can compare to these female soldiers in the cultural troupe who have received professional training, know how to dress, and have seen the world?

But now, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and they've even started comparing her to that country girl!

And they even said she might be prettier than her?

This is utterly absurd!

What made her even more uncomfortable was that even Commander Lu Zhanming, whom she had secretly observed for a long time but never dared to approach and who had never shown any interest in any female comrades,

It's said that he stayed by that girl's side all afternoon, and his gaze... was quite unusual.

A mixture of disdain, jealousy, and a sense of crisis quietly began to grow in Su Xiaoyu's heart.

Su Xiaoyu was recognized as the most beautiful girl in the military region, and the object of admiration for many young officers.

She always felt that she and a man as outstanding as Commander Lu were a match made in heaven, even though Commander Lu had never paid any attention to her.

Now, a country girl has suddenly appeared, which may not only threaten her beauty and status, but may also steal the target she has been eyeing for a long time?

Unforgivable.

She wanted to see just how amazing Gu Baobao really was!

"Yeah?"

Su Xiaoyu forced a smile, revealing a cold and unfriendly one.

"It's not surprising that a country girl knows some folk remedies. As for her looks... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd like to see her sometime."

Her tone was calm, but the cold glint in her eyes made the female soldiers next to her instinctively shrink back and dare not say another word.

The wind on the island carries a salty, damp scent and stirs up unseen undercurrents.

Gu Baobao's appearance is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples it creates are spreading outwards, influencing more and more people.
