"Hmph, I think that's true. They're not qualified based on their own abilities..."
The head nurse's lesson was of no use at all; as soon as she left, the gossip started again.
The only difference is that it went from speaking loudly to gossiping quietly.
On the way back to the unit, Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo chatted about Zhou Jinglan.
"What's that Battalion Commander Zhou's name?" Su Yueya asked curiously.
Actually, she was more curious about her appearance, but...
The person's burns were so severe that his entire head was now covered up, making it impossible to recognize him.
“Zhou Jinglan,” Qiao Xinruo said.
"Oh," Su Yueya nodded. Seeing that her sister's face was expressionless, and relying on the "telepathy" between twins, she couldn't sense what her sister was thinking at the moment, so she had no choice but to ask directly, "Then... do you want to come and see them again later?"
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
She didn't answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment.
Actually, she herself found it strange. She clearly had no intention of dragging Su Yueya "into the water" at the beginning.
Why did things turn out this way, and why did it require my sister to intervene and use the space?
Because Zhou Jinglan disregarded his own safety and was determined to rush into the fire?
Because his injuries were too severe, he couldn't be saved without entering the space, or even if he was lucky enough to be saved, he would suffer a fate worse than death.
Because although she hadn't remembered it yet, they had a connection when they were children, and this person had always regarded her as his white moonlight and kept thinking about her.
Before leaving, the injured little girl cried and begged him to save her life.
Each one seems to be an answer, yet none of them seem to be the real answer.
Qiao Xinruo couldn't understand it.
But she was never one to dwell on things. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Besides, she had already used the space, so did it matter why she used it?
It doesn't seem that important.
The outcome is what it is, and cannot be changed.
“I’ll probably come back again,” Qiao Xinruo said after a moment of silence.
"Oh?" Su Yueya became interested, thinking that her younger sister had some ideas, and then she heard her continue.
“We have to tell him the truth, right? Leng Yinghong is not a good person. We can’t let her scam succeed, and we can’t let her use my name to deceive people,” Qiao Xinruo said quickly, as if she had made up her mind. “After telling him the truth, there will most likely be no more contact between us.”
Su Yueya: "..."
Well, as expected of her sister!
For a moment, Su Yueya didn't know how to respond to Qiao Xinruo's words, but it seemed that such a decision was not surprising. According to Qiao Xinruo's personality, it seemed that this was the right thing to do.
"Xinruo, you are truly a woman who is serious about her career!" Su Yueya said sincerely, giving her sister a thumbs up.
Qiao Xinruo smiled as she held her sister's hand, her expression carrying a hint of smugness.
"Of course! I love my career, and... we only need you and brother-in-law, who are both love-struck. If I were like that, and my older brothers were too, what would happen to our family!" Qiao Xinruo said in an exaggerated tone.
"You're making fun of me now?"
"No, no... I read in the novel that a man's love-struck mind is the best dowry. My brother-in-law's love-struck mind is really good! His dowry is really generous!" Qiao Xinruo said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense about your brother-in-law!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, alright?"
That evening, Zhou Jinglan, who had been in a coma, woke up.
All I could see was white.
He seemed to have a very long dream, in which he returned to the scene of his first meeting with the goddess when he was a child. He fell from the mountain and rolled to a deserted place, injuring his ankle and unable to move. The goddess appeared and carried him out of his predicament.
As his consciousness gradually returned, he remembered what had happened before.
He was on a mission when he rescued a little girl from a fire. He was hit in the leg by a falling beam, but in a split second, he pushed the little girl out of the fire, and then…
He seemed to be badly injured, and in his dazed state, he saw the goddess again.
So where is he now?
Zhou Jinglan felt as if his whole body was restrained, and it hurt when he moved. He struggled to make out that he was in a hospital, so he pressed the call button by the bed with difficulty.
When Jin Shulan came in, she saw that he had not yet returned to his original posture, and his hands, wrapped like a dumpling, were still touching the bell.
"Slow down!" Jin Shulan rushed over and helped Zhou Jinglan adjust his position. "If you need anything, call for help first. If that doesn't work, then press the bell, or we can find someone to take care of you later. You can't move around too much right now."
"How did I get here?" Zhou Jinglan's voice was hoarse as he spoke his first words.
"You don't remember? I saw in the report that there was no mention of a concussion. Could it be amnesia?" Jin Shulan muttered to herself before answering his question. "You were injured at the front and were sent here. This is a military hospital, so just stay here and relax. Someone will definitely come to see you and explain the situation to you later."
Hearing that it was a military hospital, Zhou Jinglan was completely relieved.
However, he still had a question in his mind: he felt that he had seen someone who looked like a goddess during his coma. Was it just his imagination or something else?
"Excuse me, do you know who the doctor who saved me was? I remember there was a female military doctor..." Zhou Jinglan thought of the moments before he lost consciousness.
Coincidentally, Jin Shulan not only knew Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo, but also had a good relationship with them.
So when Zhou Jinglan asked, he told him.
“I’m telling you, you’re incredibly lucky!” Jin Shulan said.
She looked at Zhou Jinglan's medical records and knew how seriously he had been injured on the front lines.
If it weren't for Qiao Xinruo and Su Yueya, whose correct and timely diagnosis and treatment had been provided, his condition might not have been as good as it is now if things had been delayed even slightly.
"Dr. Qiao came back from the front lines with you, and Dr. Su prepared the operating room here. As soon as you arrived, you were taken in for surgery!"
"Although Dr. Qiao and Dr. Su are young, their skills are exceptionally good. It's just a pity... alas, due to some misunderstandings, they were originally the top doctors at our military hospital, but later they went to the army to become military doctors. This time, it was because of the emergency that we sent you here for surgery."
"Comrade Zhou, you are really lucky!"
"Although our hospital has many excellent doctors, Dr. Qiao was the one who understood your situation best at the time. It would have been best if she had taken action. Otherwise, in that situation, wasting even a minute would have delayed your treatment!"
When Zhou Jinglan heard what the nurse said, he thought to himself that he was indeed lucky.
"Thank you, I'm sorry to have troubled you." Zhou Jinglan expressed his sincere gratitude.
