———-
“Little girl, aren’t you scared anymore with comrades by your side?” The door opened, and Jing Zhe walked in with a smile.
“Hello, Doctor!”
“Hello, Doctor!”
Luo Xiaoqiong and Liu ijun quickly got up, saluted albeit unsteadily, and greeted him.
“Hello, hello, have a seat,” Jing Zhe gestured towards the chairs, “The little girl was just crying out of fear, but now that you’re here, she’s better.”
“I was not crying because I was scared!” Chuxia protested with a flushed face, unwilling to let the facts be distorted like that; she was just afraid, where were the tears?
If she revealed the real reason for her fear, it might scare him to death!
“Hehe…” Jing Zhe leisurely diluted vitamin powder, injecting it into the saline bottle and replacing the almost empty glucose bottle, “Little girl, didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on the bottle yourself?
If I hadn’t estimated correctly and restored so blood, you would have really suffered.”
“You are the doctor…” Chuxia’s words faded shyly, how could he possibly take care of everything with such a large area to manage?
Even in her own ti and space, with so many doctors and nurses, patients still had to monitor their dication and call nurses for changes.
Why was she provoking this Jing Zhe?
Was it because he looked like Lin Chuxia’s boyfriend from that ti and space, making her uncomfortable?
Actually, it seed there really was a bit of that; psychologically, she still felt that body was hers, but this body…
well, also hers.
She must accept this reality, no more obsessing over it!
“Doctor Jing, thank you,” Zeng ili walked in, thanked him first, then looked at Chuxia, “Lin Chuxia, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine now.” Chuxia’s face turned beet red instantly; how embarrassing!
Fainting on her first day of running, could there be a more embarrassing soldier?
“You’re sowhat malnourished, and I’ve discussed with Dean Liang.
For the first month, your training can be slightly less than the others.
However, after one month, no special treatnt will be given.
If you don’t et the physical standards at the final assessnt, even if your academic performance is up to standard, you can’t stay.”
“Yes!” Chuxia nodded, full of gratitude, “Thank you for the leadership’s concern!”
Zeng ili looked at Luo Xiaoqiong and Liu ijun standing there awkwardly: “Sit down, it’s good for you to co and keep her company at this ti.
Lin Chuxia, don’t take it too hard, every family has different conditions.
As long as you’re willing to work hard, I believe you won’t be bad.”
“Yes!”
Zeng ili glanced at the ti: “You can stay here and get your IV, the haircuts for the female soldiers are this afternoon, you two, co with .”
“Yes!”
Luo Xiaoqiong and Liu ijun hurriedly followed.
“Grr…”
Zeng ili turned around with a teasing smile, “Lin Chuxia, you don’t need to remind that you’re hungry in such a manner; your al is coming soon.”
Chuxia, covering her grumbling stomach, responded in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, her face flushed with embarrassnt.
About five minutes after Zeng ili left, Zhou Hanliang walked in carrying a al box, “Xiao Chuxia, how are you feeling?”
Why does everyone keep asking her that?
She was going to die of embarrassnt!
“Pretty good.”
“Co, eat, you must be starving,” Zhou Hanliang cheerfully opened the al box, “Scrambled eggs with shrimp, sautéed lean at with garlic sprouts, extra large white rice, and a radish vermicelli soup, all made by personally.
Are you touched?”
“Thank you.” Chuxia’s nose began to tingle.
“Crying because you’re touched?” Zhou Hanliang quickly handed her a towel, “Look at you, all out of sorts, and we’re practically acquaintances.
If I didn’t take good care of you, Elder Chen would skin alive!”
“Who’s crying?
I’m just uncomfortable from hunger.” Chuxia took the al box and ate spoonful after spoonful, though tears uncontrollably welled up.
After experiencing that dream and feeling such genuine care, she wanted to cry, for no reason at all, she just wanted to cry!
Without the love of her mother and father, without the love of her grandparents, but she had the love of parents and the care of comrades, she was blessed!
“This kid, gets so touched over so good food, sigh!” Zhou Hanliang sighed, “I really have to keep an eye on you for Elder Chen, in case so recruit tries to tempt you with food, I suppose you might actually give yourself away.”
“Humph!” Chuxia put down the al box, wiping her tears, “I’m not touched, I’m just missing my parents.
I have so much good food, and they don’t; I miss them.”
“Then you just work hard, striving for the day when they can also eat well every day,” Zhou Hanliang sat by the bed, persuading gently, “Our military rules state that officers at regintal level and above can bring two family mbers.”
“Are you trying to discourage ?” Chuxia rolled her eyes, discussing regintal level and above officers with a newly enlisted dical soldier, was that supposed to be encouraging?
“If you’re willing to work hard, nothing is impossible,” Zhou Hanliang said.
“I will work hard.” Chuxia, fighting back tears threatening to spill again, frantically shoveled rice into her mouth, no matter how faint the hope, she still had to try.
Or maybe she was too happy in that era, so Heaven decided to let her experience the hardships of this era.
But if you put it that way, wasn’t Chuxia too happy in this era as well?
She didn’t really suffer and just fully embraced her happiness, isn’t that a bit unfair?
After the IV was done, it was two in the afternoon, and Jing Zhe helped her with the needle and then prescribed her a bottle of vitamin C: “Take two pills, three tis a day, rember to keep it up.”
“Yes.”
“This is good for your skin, it will remove the yellowness from your face.”
“Yes.” Chuxia muttered to herself, was this a reminder that she looked pale?
“Alright, you can go back now.” Jing Zhe smiled, adding another line, “Rember to take them to stay beautiful, alright?”
Did she seem like she had such a bad mory?
Chuxia rolled her eyes secretly, said goodbye, and returned to the female soldiers’ dormitory.
“Sister Lin, you’re back?”
As soon as she entered the dormitory, Yuan ngng spoke in a mocking tone.
Her two thick braids had been cut into ear-length bobs.
The thick hair stuck out awkwardly, looking as hideous as possible.
Looking at the other won’s hair in the dormitory, they all looked similarly terrible.
Chuxia couldn’t help but mock, was the hairdresser’s skill that bad?
Liu ijun glared at Yuan ngng and pulled Chuxia forward: “Luo Xiaoqiong is cutting hair right now, I’ll take you there.”
Chuxia nodded and followed her out.
Whether it looked good or bad, she couldn’t expect special treatnt, but she walked as if she was marching to her sacrificial fate.
“Chuxia…” Liu ijun burst into laughter, “Can you not walk so heroically?
It’s just a haircut, not an execution.”
Chuxia quickly took a deep breath and slouched, seeing Lin ngran approaching and rembering the help she had provided, she smiled and said, “Lin ngran, thank you.”
“No need.” Lin ngran responded indifferently and passed by her.
How did she offend her?
Confused, Chuxia blinked at Liu ijun under the sunlight, her eyes sparkled brilliantly, her long eyelashes casting shadows below her eyelids, her skin was as smooth as porcelain, and her lips like blossoms…
Shaking her head to co back to her senses, Liu ijun bitterly smiled: “Chuxia, no wonder not everyone likes you, even I got lost watching you.
I believe, boys would like a girl like you even more, right?”
“How do you even connect these dots?”
“Honest truth, I just found myself staring at you…” Liu ijun looked Chuxia up and down, “Even though everyone says you’re not likable, not fitting the type mothers-in-law prefer, but I suddenly think that’s just jealousy.
Besides, life is lived with your own man, not with your mother-in-law.
Whether she likes it or not is secondary; the main thing is that your own man likes you, right?”
Chuxia: “…”
A female soldier in her forties was waving a pair of scissors around, cutting braids at their bases like she was cutting ropes—the reason why everyone’s hair looked so awful!
One snip per person, it would be weird if the hairstyles looked good.
So female soldiers started crying the mont their hair was cut.
The female soldier just glared at them, kicked the severed braids away, and moved on to the next…
Seeing Chuxia from afar, Luo Xiaoqiong hurriedly waved at her and said sothing to another soldier behind her, who then stepped back to make space.
“Chuxia, co here, I’ve saved a spot for you.”
Chuxia was utterly speechless about such hair cutting skills; she didn’t need a reserved spot, others would surely let her go first.
With a snip of the scissors, Chuxia’s hairstyle matched everyone else’s.
She and Luo Xiaoqiong looked at each other and doubled over laughing.
Their hair was dark, thick, and shiny, and now after being cut, it looked like a large stack!
Hearing the laughter, the female soldier frowned and looked at them.
They quickly silenced themselves and tiptoed out.
“Hold on!”
The female soldier approached them with scissors, scrutinizing their hair.
Her frown deepened.
“Ma’am…” Luo Xiaoqiong’s lips quivered, “I…
I think it looks quite good.”
“Did I say it looked bad?” the female soldier glared at her, “It seems a bit long, let trim it a bit more for you.”
“No…
Not long…” Luo Xiaoqiong’s voice trailed off into a long tremble, fearing she might end up bald.
“Too ugly!” the female soldier muttered, pulling their arms, “Sit down!”
The two resigned themselves to their fate, whether nuns or monks, they accepted it!
Hair grows back, after all!
Surprisingly, the female soldier took out a peeling knife from her pocket and sheared off a layer of their outward flaring hair like she was peeling cabbage stems.
“There!” the female soldier nodded in satisfaction, “It looks better now.”
Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong glanced at each other and then hurriedly checked in the mirror—indeed, it looked better!
Cabbage stem head, so that’s how it cos to be!
Chuxia realized.
