Chapter 192: I’ll Tell You About It Later

Translator: 549690339

Lin Lan’s face actually turned slightly red, and Luo Ziling was a little surprised, unable to help but chuckle.

Lin Lan glared at him annoyedly, started the car without saying a word.

“How are your injuries?” Luo Ziling asked quietly after the car left the school gates, “Have they fully recovered?”

“Almost,” Lin Lan finally spoke, but only uttered those four words before closing her mouth again.

“That’s good, I was worried you exerted yourself too much and aggravated the wounds, leading to an unsatisfactory recovery,” Luo Ziling didn’t like the silence during the drive and made conversation, “What about those little scars on you? Have they changed?”

“Yes!”

This time, Lin Lan simply replied with one word.

But upon seeing Luo Ziling’s frustrated face, she couldn’t help but add, “Thank you for your treatment.”

“No need to thank me. Just stop frowning all the time,” he replied.

Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling with a curious tilt of her head, but didn’t say anything.

Luo Ziling also suddenly lost his desire to talk. This woman really didn’t know how to play along, acting cool even towards him, her life savior, all this time. But after a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask Lin Lan, “Was that your mobile number just now?”

Lin Lan nodded.

Luo Ziling asked again, “Is your WeChat the same?”

“I don’t use WeChat,” Lin Lan replied with slight irritation, turning her head away. She thought Luo Ziling was being tedious.

However, after she met Luo Ziling’s clear eyes, her annoyance vanished in an instant.

Feeling a little embarrassed about her rudeness to Luo Ziling, she immediately explained, “We don’t use WeChat.”

“To prevent leaks?”

Lin Lan nodded and added, “No need for it.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling believed what Lin Lan said. For soldiers like her, indeed there was no need for such communication tools.

Seeing that Lin Lan was willing to talk to him, Luo Ziling became interested and quickly asked, “Speaking of which, how is your senior doing? Has he improved a bit since before?”

“A little better,” Lin Lan’s answer was still very succinct.

“Some improvement is already a success,” Luo Ziling smiled, “If you keep at it, you’ll definitely stand up again one day.”

Lin Lan just nodded, then fell silent again.

“Do you dislike talking to me?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but ask directly, “If you dislike talking to me, you could have asked Shanque to pick me up. She’s pretty sweet-talking, unlike you.”

Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling in surprise, then coldly asked, “What did she say?”

“I won’t tell you,” Luo Ziling huffed and then ignored Lin Lan.

Lin Lan opened her mouth but, in the end, didn’t ask anything.

For the rest of the ride, they didn’t say anything, with Luo Ziling not even glancing at Lin Lan.

He was like this, and Lin Lan seemed somewhat uncomfortable, occasionally glancing at him but ultimately staying silent.

After getting out of the car, Luo Ziling silently followed Lin Lan to the small building where Li Haiyang lived.

“Ziling, haven’t seen you for some days,” Li Haiyang greeted Luo Ziling as soon as he came in, smiling warmly, “Thanks for coming to treat me today.”

“It’s what I should do,” Luo Ziling humbly replied and sat down next to Li Haiyang, reaching out to take his pulse.

Lin Lan stood quietly to the side, her face expressionless as she watched Luo Ziling take Li Haiyang’s pulse.

“The pulse is stronger than before and more steady,” Luo Ziling said with a smile as he examined Li Haiyang’s complexion, “It seems that senior had a good mood these past few days in the south, and your complexion has improved a lot.”

“After taking the medicine you prescribed, I’ve been sleeping more soundly, and my complexion has naturally gotten better,” Li Haiyang replied cheerfully.

“The effect of the medicine isn’t that pronounced, your improved mood is what really made your complexion better.”

“Hehe,” Li Haiyang laughed, without giving a response.

Indeed, he had been in a good mood these past several days, and coupled with the effective medicine Luo Ziling had concocted, his complexion had improved significantly from before.

Next, Luo Ziling performed acupuncture therapy on Li Haiyang.

As he hadn’t treated Li Haiyang for several days, today’s session took a bit longer.

“I heard you were set up by someone?” Li Haiyang asked quietly while Luo Ziling was performing the acupuncture.

Just as Luo Ziling was about to insert another needle, he paused momentarily upon hearing Li Haiyang’s question.

“Senior, how do you know?” he found it quite strange.

How could Li Haiyang, someone of his status, know about his, a nobody’s, affairs?

“To know is to know,” Li Haiyang said with an amused look at Luo Ziling, “I didn’t expect that the young friend from the Yang Family would step in for you.”

“Ah?!” Luo Ziling was even more astonished, “Senior knows Yang Qingyin?”

“You don’t know who she is?” Li Haiyang didn’t answer, but instead asked back.

“I know,” Luo Ziling said with a hint of pride, “She’s my senior, a second-year student in the history department, and the most beautiful campus belle of Yan University.”

After saying this, he clearly sensed a chill in the vicinity. He glanced around but didn’t see anything. Lin Lan, who had been watching him, had turned her face away. However, Luo Ziling could feel that the sudden chill had definitely come from Lin Lan.

Hearing Luo Ziling’s response, Li Haiyang just gave him a meaningful look and said nothing more.

Of course, Luo Ziling sensed the oddity, and after inserting the last needle, he asked quietly, “Senior, do you know her family?”

“I’ll tell you later,” Li Haiyang said and closed his eyes, “I’m feeling a bit sleepy, I’m going to rest my eyes for a bit.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling stopped asking, focusing on treating Li Haiyang.

Energy healing was very draining. After nearly an hour of treatment, Luo Ziling almost exhausted his strength again.

As he removed all the needles and prepared to stand up, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed.

Fortunately, Lin Lan reacted quickly, catching him just in time to prevent an actual fall to the ground.

Li Haiyang had fallen asleep by then, snoring loudly.

Lin Lan ordered two nurses to stay by the bedside, and she helped Luo Ziling leave Li Haiyang’s room.

“I can walk on my own,” Luo Ziling said, somewhat embarrassed, after they stepped out of the room and realizing Lin Lan was still supporting him, “I can walk by myself.”

“Go and rest for a bit first,” Lin Lan released his hand after they descended the steps, “I’ll go get you something to eat.”

“Okay then,” Luo Ziling ultimately agreed, following Lin Lan to where she was staying.

On the way, they encountered Mountain Eagle, with whom there had been a confrontation before.

“Hello,” Mountain Eagle greeted Luo Ziling from a distance and didn’t come over, quickly making his escape instead.

Luo Ziling found it odd, but seeing Lin Lan’s displeased face, he didn’t ask anything further.
