Along the way back to Luo Ziling’s campus, Linlan didn’t say a word, instead focusing on driving.

Although he really wanted to ask her something, upon seeing her cold face as she focused on the road, he couldn’t work up the courage to ask.

After a while, the car drove straight into the school compound.

‘When this very domineering military car drove through the school gates, it attracted a lot of attention.

It happened to be dinner time by the time they returned, so there were many people going in and out of the school gate.

Luo Ziling had wanted to ask Linlan to park the car in a place where there weren’t as many people, but upon seeing the expressionless look on her face, he ultimately did not say anything.

However, what surprised him the most was that Linlan actually ended up parking the car in a rather secluded place.

In most places, a car with a military number plate would be allowed to roam unimpeded; not even the traffic police would come looking for trouble.

“TIl wait for you here,” she finally spoke and turned off the car.

“T-Then, I’ll be back soon,” Luo Ziling stammered. With that, he opened the door of the passenger seat and fled as fast as his legs could carry him.

As she looked at Luo Ziling’s rapidly retreating figure, a smile finally broke out on Linlan’s face.

When she smiled, it was as if an ephemeral beauty had descended upon the earth. She looked much like a freshly bloomed flower in spring—sweet and beautiful.

It was a shame no one was around to witness it.

When Luo Ziling made it back to his dormitory, the three guys were not back yet, which relieved and saved him the trouble of explaining where he’d gone.

He quickly took out the small bottle containing the medicine that he’d promised Linlan from his suitcase. After that, he diluted it until it was at just the right potency and pocketed it, then locked his suitcase before rushing back out of his room.
‘When he reached the bend in the corridor, he almost ran into the other people who happened to be there.

“Boss, why are you running so fast?” It was Cao Jianhui and the others, who had just come back from dinner. When they saw Luo Ziling running away, Cao Jianhui hurriedly called out, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”
“Not yet! Ihave something to do, so I’ll be back in a bit!” Luo Ziling called back, then disappeared around the bend without even pausing to catch his breath.

“There’s a problem.” Cao Jianhui said to the other people, having chased after Luo Ziling, but was unable to catch up. “The Boss is acting so weirdly, so he must be doing something shady.”

“We’ll interrogate him when we get back,” Li Fuming agreed immediately. “He didn’t come to the military training this afternoon.”

“The one who took him out of class was the chief instructor himself. Who knows what he was doing, honestly,” Wu Longjiang interrupted. “We gotta interrogate him when we get back. This guy’s hiding too many secrets from us.”
While the three roommates were plotting to interrogate him properly, Luo Ziling had already run back to where Linlan was waiting for him.

After opening the passenger door and getting back into the car, he took out the bottle of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Linlan.

“Here you are.” When he handed it over, he also told her how to use it. “Apply some on your scars before you go to sleep. Three drops per scar should be enough. Drip it on the skin and massage hard, allowing the medicine to completely get absorbed,” he explained. “This bottle should be enough for one
week, but the remaining scars you have should slowly disappear by then. The medicine will promote the metabolism of your skin to keep it tender.”

‘When he finished explaining, Luo Ziling chuckled. “Actually, you can also use it to clean your face with. If you use it frequently enough, your face will become whiter.”
He’d only said it because he saw noticed her face was slightly tanned. Her skin wasn’t very fair, which he attributed to the regular training she had to go through.

It had only been a few days since the military training, yet the originally fair-skinned girls in his class had already suntanned quite a bit. After the military training ended, Luo Ziling estimated that everyone in the class would end up becoming a fair bit darker. Considering that Linlan had spent much
more time training when compared to the fresh students, it was only normal that her skin would be darker than theirs.

In the meanwhile, Linlan took the small bottle from Luo Ziling, She held it in her hand and swirled the contents inside it a few times before saying, “Then why didn’t you give me more?”

Her words successfully stunned Luo Ziling and he immediately explained, “Actually, since you’re still young, your face will still be quite tender, so there’s no need to apply anything there.”

“Alright.” Linlan hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, “So you’re saying that this can remove the scars on my body?”

“it can remove some of them, yes, but not the big ones!” Luo Ziling shook his head regretfully. “For the big ones, you’ll have to scrape off all the scar tissue and apply the medicinal powder.”

Then, he added proudly, “The medicinal powder is a formula developed by my grandfather, so its effects are very potent. Apply it when the wound is closed, and make sure to do it every day while it recovers. When the new wound heals, there won’t be any scar left.”
Hearing that, Linlan nodded and started the car. “Tl come and pick you up tomorrow.”

Luo Ziling was about to get out of the car, but just as he pushed open the passenger door, he remembered something and asked in a low voice, “Did you really take leave on my behalf?”

Linlan nodded.

“Then come and pick me up tomorrow morning,” he said, then elaborated, “The weather is cooler in the morning, so it’ll be much more suitable for treatment. If you sweat too much, you’ll easily collapse, you see.”
In reality, he was thinking about something else entirely: if Linlan came to pick him up in the morning, then he could skip the military training for the whole day.

Although he wasn’t particularly against military training like some of the other students, he was still a little tired of repeating those mechanical and boring movements every day.

“Okay,” Linlan nodded again, then added,

1 be waiting for you in the same place at 8 a.m. sharp.”
“Understood,” Luo Ziling said, then jumped out of the car, closing the door behind him forcefully.

With that, the Hummer drove away.

After watching the car disappear from sight, Luo Ziling turned around and went back to his dorm.

He was actually quite tired today. It took a lot out of him to perform acupuncture and massage the old man.

After exhausting his energy, he hadn’t had the chance to replenish it yet.

‘When he felt that his stomach was empty, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but inwardly curse both Linlan and the old man. They invited him to treat their illness, but they didn’t say anything else. They didn’t even prepare snacks and fruits for him! Wasn’t their way of treating guests too unreasonable?
‘When he went over tomorrow, he’d have to bring this up to them.

But how could he say it in a way that wasn’t too abrupt and direct? He’d have to think about it carefully when he returned to his dorm.

Luo Ziling immediately recalled the scene when he saw Linlan’s upper body, and his heart couldn’t help but beat faster..
