Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: Excessive Demands

Three days passed by quickly, and Lin Lan was about to leave.

Luo Ziling kept his word and, after making the medicines Phoenix requested, handed them over to Lin Lan.

Of course, he also taught her some medical knowledge that could be applied immediately.

These past few days, he was a bit tired, certainly because he discussed too many physiological and anatomical issues with Lin Lan.

However, even though he felt somewhat fatigued, his complexion looked much better than the previous days.

Lin Lan was even more so. When she came to Yuezhou, she was always wearing a frown, with a lack of luster in her eyes. But by the time she left, her face had become round and radiant, incredibly vivacious. A discerning person could tell at a glance that this was the look of a woman who had been well nurtured by a man.

On the day Lin Lan was preparing to leave, the two stood naked in front of the mirror fooling around after getting up in the morning, and Luo Ziling teased her about it, attributing her newfound radiance to his own nourishing efforts.

Of course, such words definitely brought about Lin Lan’s crazy retaliation.

Luo Ziling handed over the medicines that Phoenix wanted to Lin Lan.

However, when handing them over, Luo Ziling repeatedly warned her that these medicines must be stored with care, and this was not to set a precedent.

Next time, whether it was Phoenix or anyone else who came to him to make this kind of medicine, he would refuse altogether, to avoid any major trouble.

"Are you afraid I’ll use this kind of medicine on you?" Lin Lan discerned the implication behind Luo Ziling’s words.

"Yeah," Luo Ziling playfully said while pinching Lin Lan’s majestic upper body, "Who knows if some women, when jealous, might not..."

He didn’t finish his sentence before he was attacked by Lin Lan.

Luo Ziling had to stop talking and was forced to retreat his hand from the high ground he had occupied, and with a swift motion, stopped Lin Lan’s kicking leg. Finally, he caressed between Lin Lan’s long legs and completely neutralized her offensive.

During these three days in Yuezhou, Lin Lan came to stay with Luo Ziling every night, but no one knew that she slept in the same bed with him. When Lin Lan was ready to leave, she didn’t go through the door, but left through the window.

"Sigh, a female herb-thief skilled in scaling walls and roofs," Luo Ziling lamented toward the direction of the window as Lin Lan left, rubbing his slightly sore legs.

In these three days and nights, Lin Lan had made her demands almost twenty times, and Luo Ziling felt it was a miracle that he had managed to hold up.

He thought to himself that, no matter what, he couldn’t marry such a fierce woman in the future, or he wouldn’t live past thirty.

When parting with Lin Lan, Luo Ziling didn’t mention anything about the mission.

With the New Year approaching, he didn’t want to speak any inauspicious words.

He believed that no matter the mission, Lin Lan would return safely.

By the time Lin Lan left, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve and the start of the holiday, but many workplaces had already entered holiday mode on the 29th, leaving only a few people to watch the door and handle essential work, while others could go home to prepare for the New Year.

Ling Ruonan, usually very dedicated to her job, had also become one of those people.

Last night, she called Luo Ziling, saying that she would take the high-speed train to Yuezhou on the afternoon of the 29th and asked Luo Ziling to meet her at the station. Luo Ziling naturally agreed.

To pick up Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling would definitely bring Luo Yuqing along.

In the past few days, Luo Yuqing had been less than satisfied with Luo Ziling’s behavior.

This guy, who had promised to spend time with her, often found excuses to run away, saying he had important things to take care of.

Luo Yuqing guessed that it was because of the two women with special identities, feeling full of jealousy, even having the impulsive thought of heading back to Yanjing to spend New Year’s with mom.

But after giving it some serious thought and realizing there was no way to buy high-speed train tickets and the flights were sold out, she dismissed the idea.

Later, after listening to some things Yang Xiaodong said, she didn’t express dissatisfaction with Luo Ziling anymore.

Perhaps, Luo Ziling and these several women were truly doing things that ordinary people couldn’t know about.

"What about those two beautiful sisters?" On the way to the high-speed train station with Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing asked with a hint of jealousy, "Aren’t they accompanying you for New Year’s?"

"You’re overthinking it," Luo Ziling replied irritably, "They’re very busy, they don’t have the concept of New Year’s in their minds."

"Yes, people like them are the most respectable," Yang Xiaodong who was driving, interjected.

"You were too, back then!" Luo Ziling said earnestly.

Hearing Yang Xiaodong and Luo Ziling talk this way, Luo Yuqing immediately shut up and said no more about it.

However, after driving for a while, she spoke again about Phoenix and Lin Lan, "Those two sisters, they are really beautiful, especially their figures, so enviable. I really can’t understand why such pretty women would want to join the military, and even be this kind of soldier."

Luo Ziling gave Luo Yuqing a disdainful look, "There are men as handsome as me who join the military too. Have you taken a look at The Three Armies Honor Guard? Which one isn’t a good-looking guy with a great physique? Ah, and the female honor guards, each one is a beauty. They just happen to be pretty and appeared together, that’s all."

"Well, anyway, none of the women who come to find you are unattractive."

"You’re giving yourself a compliment, aren’t you!"

Luo Yuqing, upon hearing this, was stunned for a moment, then burst into giggles and even pinched Luo Ziling, "I’m naturally pretty, can’t I compliment myself?"

"I’m telling you two, don’t flirt with each other while I’m driving. If something happens, don’t blame me!" Yang Xiaodong couldn’t stand it anymore and turned his head to warn, "If you want to flirt, just find a place to hide. I truly don’t believe you two don’t have the opportunity."

"Just drive, no one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!" Luo Ziling said grumpily, kicking Yang Xiaodong’s leg.

Yang Xiaodong immediately shut his mouth.

When the group arrived at the high-speed train station, the high-speed train that Ling Ruonan and Wuyue were on had just arrived.

Compared to airplanes, though the speed of high-speed trains isn’t as fast, they are valued for their punctuality.

It’s rare for high-speed trains to be delayed unless there’s an accident. As for planes, it’s rare for flights to be on time; delays are highly likely. Plus, with airports far from the city and the need for one more hour of security check, the total time taken to travel somewhere by plane, end to end, is about the same or even more than the high-speed train.

Originally planning to fly, Ling Ruonan and Wuyue ended up choosing the high-speed train because they found it to be faster.

Ling Ruonan had flown several places in the last few days, from Xiaoshan to Yanjing, then from Yanjing to Yangcheng, and back from Yangcheng to Yanjing, exhausting herself to death.

Choosing business class on the high-speed train, she slept in the middle and woke up just as she arrived in Qiantang.

When she was fully awake, the train had already stopped at Yuezhou North Station.

Coming back to Yuezhou in just a few days, Ling Ruonan felt somewhat bewildered herself.

She never imagined that she would come to Yuezhou for New Year’s, the first true family reunion happening in this small city in the south.

However, seeing Luo Ziling’s handsome face as he appeared before her, and thinking about Luo Xusheng appearing before her tonight, her face broke into a happy smile.

For the past twenty years on New Year’s Eve, she had spent it with her parents having reunion dinner. This year, she could finally spend it with the two men she loved most.

A feeling called happiness soaked through her, body and soul.
