Surprised, Qiao Xinruo recalled their casual conversation at noon.
She said that there were no soldiers this young and handsome in the army, otherwise they would have heard about it long ago, so this person came from a neighboring unit to exchange and learn secret techniques.
It seems the other person will leave sooner or later, so while he's still in the army, she can admire him a little longer.
Staring at someone like that was still a bit strange, so Qiao Xinruo decided to leave.
Before she could even take her first step, she discovered that the other person had moved first.
Moreover, it seems that the other party is after her.
No, no, they don't know each other. How could the other party be after him? They must be after the medical department. Did this person get injured on his first day of exchange studies?
This is outrageous!
Before Qiao Xinru could finish guessing, Zhou Jinglan had already walked up to her.
As he approached the little goddess step by step, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, thumping so loudly it was deafening.
I don't care anymore, I'll just go for it!
"you--"
"Dr. Qiao."
The two spoke at the same time, and Qiao Xinruo hesitated a little, wanting to ask if the other person was injured.
Zhou Jinglan, on the other hand, firmly called out to the other person.
"You know me?" Qiao Xinruo asked, puzzled.
If the other person knew her, then she should also know him. After all, a face like that, even if it's just a brief encounter, would be enough to leave a deep impression on her. It's impossible for her to feel like it's the first time they've met.
"Mm." Zhou Jinglan nodded. He was still very nervous, so nervous that his face even turned a little red, but he wouldn't allow himself to back down.
The little goddess's reaction clearly showed that she didn't remember him. Although his current appearance was indeed completely different from when he was injured, she still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, that's not important.
He has already reached the little goddess. In the future, there will definitely be an opportunity for the little goddess to remember him, and not just remember him.
"Dr. Qiao, I am Zhou Jinglan. You have saved me twice. This time I came here to exchange skills and learn the secret techniques. I was thinking... I was thinking that I should formally meet you and express my gratitude." As he spoke, Zhou Jinglan bowed 90 degrees.
"Dr. Qiao, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have died twice over."
These words had been bottled up in Zhou Jinglan's heart for a very long time, and he was finally able to say them formally.
After hearing the name, Qiao Xinruo finally recognized it.
So he was Zhou Jinglan!
Qiao Xinruo certainly remembered this name, and it left a deep impression on her, after all, she had heard this name and her story mentioned quite often in Leng Yingying's innermost thoughts...
However, Qiao Xinruo only had a vague impression of what happened when she was a child, and she didn't remember Zhou Jinglan's face. When she saw Zhou Jinglan during the last rescue mission, he was already injured, and his face was disfigured.
So the handsome Zhou Jinglan, who fits her aesthetic standards, was completely unexpected by Qiao Xinruo.
If she had known he looked like this, she probably wouldn't have been so resolute and unwavering when her sister joked about her...
"Your face is fully healed? So fast? That's great. You were seriously injured back then, and I thought the recovery would be difficult. It seems you've put in a lot of effort," Qiao Xinruo said.
"As for saving you, there's no need to say more; it's my duty."
Whether it was the chivalrous rescue she gave when she was a child, or the duty she performed during a mission last time, Qiao Xinruo never expected the other party to be grateful to her.
From the moment they met until they exchanged their first words, Zhou Jinglan meticulously observed Qiao Xinruo's every reaction, including the most subtle micro-expressions.
There was no other way; his understanding of the little goddess was too limited, so he had to seize every opportunity.
Therefore, Zhou Jinglan noticed that when the little goddess looked at his face, her eyes lit up slightly.
The intelligence was correct!
The Little Goddess is all about looks, and what's most fortunate is that I seem to fall right into her aesthetic range.
This is wonderful!
Zhou Jinglan felt that he didn't have any special strengths. Even though he performed quite well in the army, there were too many people like him. Moreover, Xiao Shennv's family members were also in the army and had made great achievements. He was even less worth mentioning. So what could he possibly rely on to attract Xiao Shennv?
Now, he had gained a little bit of confidence, at least his face was in line with the little goddess's preferences.
How can this not be considered a joyous occasion?
"Although it was my duty, I am still very grateful to you. If it hadn't been Dr. Qiao, but another doctor, I might not have recovered so well now, and I might not have been able to be discharged from the hospital so quickly, or even return to the army," Zhou Jinglan said sincerely.
His legs were almost broken at the time, but fortunately Qiao Xinruo dealt with it in time and secretly used the power of Su Yueya's space.
“You’re right. It was really thanks to my sister and me that you were able to save your leg,” Qiao Xinruo said.
To others, these words might sound like Qiao Xinruo is bragging, but anyone who knows her even a little knows that she never boasts and always speaks the truth when it comes to healing and saving lives.
"Yes, thanks to you and Dr. Su. Isn't Dr. Su on duty today?" Zhou Jinglan asked.
"My sister is resting."
Qiao Xinruo thought that with such a beautiful face, it wouldn't hurt to look at it a little longer.
Zhou Jinglan was unwilling to miss any opportunity to communicate with Qiao Xinruo, so the two started chatting.
"Is Dr. Su working tomorrow? I think I should come and formally express my gratitude. As for my face, the fact that it has recovered so well is all thanks to Qiao Rentang's medicine. Otherwise... I don't even want to think about what my face would look like now," Zhou Jinglan said.
"Really, there's no need. My sister isn't the kind of person who seeks fame and fortune!" Qiao Xinruo didn't mention her sister's matter, feeling that Zhou Jinglan's visit to her sister was just causing trouble. "As for Qiao Rentang's medicine, you don't need to be so polite. It's not like it's given to you for free. You paid for it, so it's what you deserve. If it doesn't work, then you should go to Qiao Rentang!"
Qiao Xinruo's personality was indeed very straightforward, almost exactly as Zhou Jinglan had imagined.
But the two weren't familiar with each other, and in just a short time, the atmosphere gradually became a bit awkward, since they really weren't familiar with each other!
Qiao Xinruo disliked awkwardness and planned to say goodbye and go home. Before she could even speak, she received an invitation from Zhou Jinglan.
"Dr. Qiao, this weekend, may I invite you to dinner?" Zhou Jinglan asked.
For the first time, he felt what it meant for his heart to jump into his throat.
