Of course, this also requires being outstanding enough, rather than just claiming to be outstanding.
"I didn't see it clearly..." Qiao Xinruo's tone sounded a little regretful.
"Hey, you didn't even see clearly, and you're saying she's good-looking?" Xie Ziai shook her head repeatedly, thinking that Qiao Xinru must have been seeing things. "There are only a few truly good-looking people who could catch your eye, Miss. I don't believe you don't know them!"
"What's wrong with that? You can tell if someone is good-looking without even looking at them closely. It's pointless to talk to you; you don't understand what it's like to be good-looking," Qiao Xinruo said sarcastically.
Xie Ziai: "..."
"No, I'm not as bad as you say, am I? Qiao Xinruo, why don't you lick your lips and see?" Xie Ziai said.
Qiao Xinruo frowned, revealing a disgusted expression. She felt that Xie Ziai was definitely up to something again. After all, this guy had the most tricks up his sleeve. No one in the entire medical department was more cunning than him.
"Why are you licking your lips?" Qiao Xinruo asked warily.
"Try poisoning yourself and see if you can kill yourself!" Xie Ziai said irritably.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
"childish!"
At this moment, other military doctors who had just finished their meal came over and joined the two in their conversation.
"I heard that a group of people from a neighboring unit came here to learn some secret techniques, and they may stay for a long time."
"Is it possible that the person you just saw was one of them?" Xie Ziai guessed.
"Maybe, who knows?" Qiao Xinru shrugged, not particularly concerned.
She is indeed a looks-oriented person and has little resistance to good-looking people and things, but meeting her standards of good looks is not an easy thing.
As for that fleeting glimpse, Qiao Xinruo didn't take it to heart. If they were destined to meet, they would meet again; if not, all the trouble would be for nothing.
"Hurry up and finish eating so you can wash the lunchbox."
In the afternoon, Zhou Jinglan trained diligently.
The neighboring troops had always found cultivation to be mysterious, since this method was unheard of before.
But after hearing from my brothers in the northern army, I discovered that this cultivation wasn't just a fantasy; it was real. While I became more convinced, I still found it unbelievable.
Only now, having experienced it firsthand, do I understand its profound mystery.
Some talented individuals have already experienced the wonders of the manual even before they've begun practicing. Even those with less talent can notice subtle changes in their bodies after practicing.
That afternoon, everyone was repeatedly shocked.
"I didn't expect it to be this amazing..."
"Yes, at first I thought it was a joke, and I even laughed at it before. Now it seems that I was the one who was ignorant!"
"If we learn this, we can promote it in our unit. Everyone's strength will definitely improve significantly. We must learn it well."
"Absolutely! Even if it's just for my own sake, I have to seize this rare opportunity!"
"It's because we're so close that we have such a great advantage. I heard that it will be extended to the military all over the country. We're just benefiting from being in the capital!"
Zhou Jinglan didn't join the conversation. He sat cross-legged and continued to silently recite the incantation the instructor had just taught him, carefully experiencing the changes in his body.
Fortunately, Zhou Jinglan happens to be one of those people with exceptional talent. He has only been cultivating for a short time, but he can already feel his body becoming much lighter.
It is said that this secret manual was introduced into the army by Commander Liu and her son.
From the limited information Zhou Jinglan had about the Little Goddess, he knew that Commander Liu was the Little Goddess's mother.
He learned this from the nurses' casual conversation when he was recuperating at a military hospital.
The Qiao family was far more powerful than Zhou Jinglan had imagined.
Qiao Hanxue was not only the dean of Wenxiu Medical College, but also the benevolent Qiao Rentang.
Liu Yuying is a leading female division commander in the army.
Not only are her parents outstanding, but Qiao Xinruo's siblings are also all exceptionally talented.
However, Zhou Jinglan never considered backing down.
Even if others misunderstand and think that he is pursuing Qiao Xinruo in order to curry favor with the Qiao family, it will not stop him, because he knows very well that his feelings for the little goddess have been growing since he helped her when she was a child, and have never had anything to do with the little goddess's powerful family background.
Just as Zhou Jinglan had predicted, on the first day, the instructors did not ask everyone to stay for extra practice, but dismissed them as usual.
They had just met and were all in a state of high excitement. Even after the meeting was over, they hadn't left yet and were still actively discussing things.
They even wanted to discuss it with Zhou Jinglan.
"Commander Zhou, the instructor just said you learn incredibly fast. I'm so envious! You're definitely the kind of gifted person the instructor was talking about. How's your training going? How do you feel?"
"Yes, tell us about it!"
Zhou Jinglan was preoccupied with other matters and was quite anxious, so he had no time to exchange experiences with them.
"Everyone, I have something urgent to attend to right now, so I have to go. We can talk again when I get back to the dorm tonight, really!" With that, Zhou Jinglan ran off and disappeared in a flash.
The remaining soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The commander has been acting strangely this week. He was like this at noon too, not even eating lunch, and he's doing it now, running away without warning!"
“Yeah, what urgent business could a bachelor like him have? Besides, this is only our first day here…”
"Hey, you know what, could it be that Commander Zhou has taken a fancy to one of the female soldiers in this unit?"
"What? No way, that was way too fast!"
"Given our Commander Zhou's qualifications, I don't think it's fast. Didn't you hear this morning that many female soldiers were talking about him, saying he's good-looking!"
"Commander Zhou is indeed good-looking. Could it be that he didn't manage to win over any of the female soldiers in our unit, and ended up getting the girl from his unit instead?"
"Hey, it's really hard to say!"
Zhou Jinglan ran very fast, arriving at the medical department just in time to leave work.
Just as he arrived, someone came out of there.
Zhou Jinglan was very glad he made the choice. He had originally planned to quickly go back to his dormitory to change his clothes before coming, since this was his first official meeting with the little goddess, and leaving a good first impression was very important.
But the conditions simply don't allow it. No matter how fast he moves, what if he misses the little goddess?
He didn't know the Little Goddess's future work arrangements, so if he wanted to see her again, he would have to wait for her to come to him. Given his current excited and anxious state of mind, he probably couldn't wait any longer, so he had to seize this rare opportunity today.
Qiao Xinruo had just finished get off work and was walking out of the medical department when she saw—
Isn't that the person under the tree the one she caught a glimpse of at noon?!
Now we can finally see it clearly.
It really looks good.
Xie Ziai was still joking around with her. She should really bring Xie Ziai along to see this. With her looks, you can tell at a glance that she is a good-looking person!
