"Looks like none of them are cowards!"
As he spoke, Old Master Luo burst out laughing.
Who are you calling a coward?
Old Master Lu glanced at Old Master Luo sideways: "When I first went to the battlefield, I was at the very front of the troops. When I killed the enemy, my bayonet always drew blood. Now, it's just going to the operating table. Is there any need to be so terrified and afraid of dying on it?"
Grandpa He laughed: "You two really live up to what Old Su called 'old rascals.' Despite your age, you still love to bicker like children. You're really going backwards as you get older!"
At the same time, Song Lan tidied up her things on her desk and prepared to get up and go back to her dormitory. But as she stood up, she glanced at the landline on her desk. The next moment, she sat back down in her chair, picked up the receiver, and dialed the number she knew by heart.

I went to see them, and before they could even turn their heads to look for me, I started talking to them and making them laugh, diverting their attention. They were being very well-behaved!
"Thanks a lot!"
"The children are both ours, and taking care of them is my responsibility and obligation. What's so hard about it?! On the contrary, you must be very tired lately!"
"I'm alright. I have surgery tomorrow at noon, and about two more surgeries in about a week, until the New Year."
