Chapter 44: Looking like this, where does she look like a harmless little white rabbit?

The two became more and more compatible, with many common topics.

The military doctor had a loud nickname: "Ghost's Sorrow."

It meant that even if your intestines were flowing out, the military doctor would tie a knot in them with their bare hands and stuff them back into your stomach.

As for stitching?

They would use whatever was at hand: glue, soldering irons, large pins, hairpins—anyway, whatever tools were available, they would use them, and they would pull you back from the Black and White Impermanence no matter what.

Even ghosts would shake their heads, worried to death.

Pei Yan Ting spoke with great animation about the cases she had treated on the border battlefield, which made Shen Man both shocked and afraid, but she still couldn't help but want to listen.

"Sister Yan Ting, what are the entry requirements for a military doctor?"

She was a bit tempted. Whether it was Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine, it was all to save lives and contribute her meager strength.

Through her future sister-in-law's narration, she developed a yearning for the profession of a military doctor.

Perhaps, she could try?

"Manman little sister, being a military doctor is very bitter. You not only have to learn life-saving knowledge but also practice it—the scenes are relatively bloody, you..."

Pei Yan Ting rubbed her smooth chin, not expecting the beautiful little sister who looked soft and weak on the outside to have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine since childhood.

If she had no medical foundation, she wouldn't support the beautiful little sister in studying medicine. She had personally experienced how bitter studying medicine was...

"I'm not afraid."

Shen Man answered decisively, her eyes shining with the brilliance of love for the path of medicine.

Interests and hobbies were the best teachers.

Because of love, she would overcome all difficulties and firmly step onto this path.

"Good. Remember what you said. Our Military Region Hospital announces the selection exam every August. By then..."

Girls helping girls.

Unlike the aggressiveness she showed in front of Lu Xiu Bai, Pei Yan Ting was much softer and more patient toward Shen Man.

They say like attracts like, but in her case, it was a complete paradox.

Jiang Ye, seeing this, silently pulled his future brother-in-law, whose head was about to touch the ground, away from the dorm and into the corridor outside the door.

"My marriage report has been expedited and approved. I want to take Manman to the Sea Island to get the certificate next Monday and purchase things for the wedding house."

"So fast? It seems Section Commander Duan really treats you as well as his own nephew."

Lu Xiu Bai muttered while taking a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, lighting one for himself, and handing one to the other party.

"Quit. I don't smoke."

Jiang Ye was noncommittal. Section Commander Duan did treat him very well, so he had added a clause to his previous retirement plan: to provide for the old man's retirement and send him off.

"Also, Grandfather has already set off from the Capital and will arrive at the train station in three days. Just in time, he'll make it to the collective wedding a week later."

"My grandfather is coming?"

The cigarette in Lu Xiu Bai's mouth almost fell out. His heart was first surprised, then his smile vanished.

If the old man saw him in such a sorry state, he would definitely be...

Angry!

"Anyway, I'm your brother-in-law. If Grandfather raises his crutch to hit me later, will you put in a good word for me?"

Lu Xiu Bai's smile was worthless, looking like "we are brothers, don't refuse."

"No problem."

Jiang Ye stepped back, dodging the other party's attempt to pat his shoulder.

A smell of smoke—don't let it spread to him.

"You and Doctor Pei?"

"She's just a female hooligan who covets my body. We have no other relationship!"

Lu Xiu Bai hurriedly denied, lowering his voice and begging, "Don't randomly play matchmaker; it makes everyone awkward."

"If a flower is ready to be plucked, pluck it; don't wait until there are no flowers and just pluck an empty branch."

Although Jiang Ye had little dating experience, as an "experienced person," he could see it.

His future brother-in-law, although he said he disliked her and wasn't interested, would steal glances at Doctor Pei from time to time.

If he really had no feelings for Doctor Pei and no interest, then why was he so guilty?

This was the case of the bystander seeing clearly while the person involved was confused.

"I know your cultural studies were good, but talking to me in such a literary way—I don't know if I should think you're an old antique or a pedant."

Lu Xiu Bai panicked, his hand holding the matchbox unsteady. He said that, but his heart was like a spilled seasoning box, full of all kinds of tastes.

He wouldn't really have feelings for this female hooligan, would he?

"Beautiful little sister, Sister has work to do, so I'm leaving. Let's play together when we have time."

Pei Yan Ting still had official business to attend to. Coming over was a professional duty of a doctor, and she had also come to see how Lu Xiu Bai's wounds were recovering.

After chatting enough, she stood up to leave.

"Okay, Sister Yan Ting, take care."

Have time, come often.

She swallowed the second half of the sentence. Nowadays, people had a very strong sense of boundaries regarding reputation.

She had originally been worried that her future sister-in-law would be hard to get along with, as she hadn't met her before.

Now, after talking, she found they had many topics to chat about!

"Mm."

Pei Yan Ting picked up her silver medicine box, brushed the stray hair from the beautiful little sister's forehead, couldn't help but pinch her porcelain-white cheek, and curved her eyes.

Tsk, so tender.

Tangyuan, curled up in the bag, didn't dare move. It didn't know why, but it felt like hiding when it saw this Doctor Pei, wishing the other party wouldn't discover it!

Seeing the evil hand pinching its master's cheek, it thought, if you pinch Master, don't rua me!

Pei Yan Ting didn't seem interested in furry things, turned around, and left without any hesitation.

"Doctor Pei, take care."

"When Regiment Commander Jiang and the beautiful little sister get married, remember to send me an invitation. I'll come to have a cup of wedding wine."

"Next week, collective wedding. I'll definitely invite Doctor Pei then."

"Mm, good, waiting for the good news."

Pei Yan Ting greeted Regiment Commander Jiang in the corridor, completely ignoring someone else.

Lu Xiu Bai smoked, exhaling smoke, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

And then?

The expectation that rose in his heart fell through when the other party had nothing more to say and just left.

Despicable.

This female hooligan only knew how to tease him and wouldn't talk to him properly.

With others, she talked normally and politely!

"Wooden stake."

Jiang Ye saw through it but didn't say it. He couldn't be bothered to stand in the wind with his future brother-in-law who hadn't opened his mind yet.

With this time to stare at each other, he might as well take his little girl sea-foraging during the afternoon to satisfy her enthusiasm for sea-foraging.

"Brother~ Sister Yan Ting is so generous and cool. Don't call her a female hooligan every time you open your mouth in the future; it's so impolite."

Here it comes, the complaint and bias from his own sister.

"Manman, it's not what you see, female—"

Lu Xiu Bai pouted. He was wronged and couldn't explain himself.

"Brother, Grandfather will be on the Sea Island soon. If he sees your attitude toward Sister Yan Ting, he will definitely raise his crutch to hit you."

Shen Man said faintly, afraid that her brother wouldn't take it to heart, so she vividly added:

"I saw Grandfather raise his crutch to hit Dad with my own eyes. I counted, eighteen sticks, and Dad's back was bleeding, you know."

After speaking, she didn't control her expression well and curved her eyes, revealing a mouthful of glutinous rice teeth.

Looking like this, where does she look like a harmless little white rabbit?

She looked just like a little fox spirit, smiling cunningly... ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
