It wasn't until after he was discharged from the hospital that he went to buy it himself for the first time.
"Sold out?" Zhou Jinglan was puzzled. It was only noon, yet they were already sold out.
Does he really have to come and queue up before dawn every time?
"Yes, comrade, our scar removal cream is one of the best-selling creams in the store. Many scar removal products are just gimmicks and don't actually work, but ours is genuinely effective, so many people are rushing to buy it," the salesperson explained.
"Then... when will there be more stock?" Zhou Jinglan asked.
Actually, this is a good thing. Although it's inconvenient that it's hard to buy, it also proves that the ointment is effective.
It's useful, that's better than anything else, and it's what Zhou Jinglan needs most.
"They'll be available tomorrow. To prevent people from hoarding and reselling, our boss has implemented a purchase limit. If you really want to buy them, come early tomorrow to queue up, and you might be able to get some."
Zhou Jinglan: "..."
It seems that we really do have to rely on "grabbing" to succeed.
With rehabilitation, his leg is recovering better and better. Although he still cannot engage in strenuous competitive activities, he can walk, jump and run without any problems.
According to Dr. Liu, because of the timely rescue, his leg can recover to its pre-injury level, it just requires some patience and time.
Zhou Jinglan was even more grateful to Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo. If it weren't for these two sisters, he probably wouldn't have been able to save his leg.
The thought of Qiao Xinruo filled Zhou Jinglan with a bittersweet feeling.
The sweet thing is that this time she finally found the right person, and it's just as wonderful as the little goddess she remembered, without the strange feeling of finding the wrong person last time.
The bitter part is that he can only hide his feelings, never mentioning them, and dare not openly express or pursue them. Moreover, he has to face his scars every day, and looking at them makes him feel that the future is bleak.
He also used scar removal cream for a while. His scars were too severe. The areas that were burned more severely did not show any change at present, but some of the lighter scars were already barely visible.
This gave Zhou Jinglan tremendous confidence!
"So, as long as I keep using it, these scars will eventually heal completely..."
Even though he knew it would be useful, Zhou Jinglan still felt extremely tormented every day when he looked in the mirror and saw his scars all over his body every time he changed clothes.
"How can I make it disappear quickly?"
That's just how people are. Once they find a useful scar removal cream, they start to fantasize about even faster ways to remove scars, or about finding a different cream.
Zhou Jinglan knew that this anxious mindset was wrong, but he simply couldn't control himself. It was as if a dog was chasing him from behind, making him constantly want to go faster and faster...
When Zhou Jinglan went to Qiaorentang to buy scar removal cream again, he deliberately chatted with the shop assistant for a while, thinking that he should ask more about scar removal.
“Your medicine is indeed good; it has been effective for me. However, I would like to speed up the recovery process. Do you know of any other methods for removing scars?” Zhou Jinglan asked.
Can I take a look at your scar?
“Okay.” Zhou Jinglan rolled up his sleeves, only showing the shop assistant the scars on his arms and back.
"It's that serious?" The shop assistants were stunned.
This is a severe burn, not just a simple scar; it probably even put my life in danger at the time.
"Comrade, to be honest, your scar is too severe. If it weren't for our Qiaorentang scar removal cream, you wouldn't have any chance of recovery at all. Given the extent of your injury, it would probably take about a year to fully heal, and that's just an estimate," the salesperson said.
“A year…” Zhou Jinglan was extremely melancholy.
He could wait for ten years, let alone a year, but the question is, could Qiao Xinruo wait that long?
What if the little goddess gets a boyfriend a year later?
He only dared to pursue the goddess because she was single. If she already had a boyfriend, what other choice did he have but to silently wish her well?
"Comrade, a year has passed quickly for you," the shop assistant comforted him. He really hadn't expected the man to be so badly injured.
"Thank you," Zhou Jinglan said, leaving Qiaorentang with a heavy heart.
A year has 365 days.
Moreover, this is just the store clerk's estimate. The exact time required will depend on continued observation during daily maintenance, and no one can guarantee anything.
Zhou Jinglan was extremely frustrated and could only continue to worry anxiously. Every time he looked in the mirror, he would tell himself to be more patient.
That mission brought Zhou Jinglan not only a body full of scars and the discovery of the little goddess from back then, but also a first-class merit.
"I never expected such a big accident to happen. You almost lost your life!" the superior said. He was particularly concerned about Zhou Jinglan's recovery and asked many details about his rehabilitation.
"However, the good thing is you got a first-class merit. You're good enough to be promoted to deputy regimental commander now, right..."
Zhou Jinglan was just about to laugh, before his lips could even curl into a smile, when he heard his superior's unfinished "That's right," and his heart immediately went blank.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Zhou Jinglan asked.
Who doesn't want a promotion?
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
In the entire unit, there wasn't a single person who didn't want a promotion or to reach a higher position.
If these scars could earn Zhou Jinglan a first-class merit award, helping him advance his career, that would be some consolation. But what if he gained nothing at all?
Although Zhou Jinglan will still fulfill his duties as a soldier, he will feel somewhat disappointed.
"What's the rush, kid?" The superior pointed at Zhou Jinglan and jokingly scolded him for being impatient. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you! You'll definitely get promoted, but there aren't enough spots available right now, so you'll have to wait."
Hearing his superiors say this, Zhou Jinglan was immediately relieved.
"Next month, a deputy regimental commander in the team will retire, and you will be promoted to the position. The appointment documents are already in the process of being processed."
"Thank you, leader!" Zhou Jinglan gave a military salute.
Since learning that Qiao Xinruo is the Little Goddess, Zhou Jinglan's desire for promotion has become even stronger.
Because the little goddess is so outstanding, the more outstanding she is, the more he has to work hard to become better and stronger in order to get closer to her. Only in this way will he have the courage to pursue the little goddess.
His promotion to deputy regimental commander gave him a bit more confidence.
Su Yueya recently took on a "good task".
A good task is one that is simple, safe, and easy to get through.
A new batch of female soldiers needed to undergo training, and as the team doctor, Su Yueya had to go along.
She doesn't need to participate in training; her job is simply to ensure the safety of the female soldiers.
