Throughout the journey, Lin Lan didn't utter a word, just focused on driving.

Although Luo Ziling wanted to ask Lin Lan some questions, seeing her expressionless face intently driving, he didn't dare to speak up.

The vehicle drove directly into the school.

This extremely imposing military vehicle caused a lot of attention as soon as it entered the school gates.

They returned during dinner time, which meant there were many people coming in and out of the school gates.

Luo Ziling wanted to tell Lin Lan to park in a less crowded area, but seeing that her face bore no expression, he eventually didn't speak.

Unexpectedly for Luo Ziling, Lin Lan actually parked in a very secluded spot.

With a military plate, the vehicle had uninhibited access in most places, and not even traffic police would trouble them, let alone other people.

"I'll wait for you here," Lin Lan finally spoke and turned off the engine.

"I'll be back soon," Luo Ziling said, opened the passenger door, and quickly ran out.

Watching Luo Ziling's fast-disappearing figure, Lin Lan, who had been keeping her face taut, finally let slip a smile.

When she smiled, she was truly beautiful, like a flower suddenly blooming, giving a stunning impression.

Too bad no one saw.

When Luo Ziling rushed back to his dorm, those three guys hadn't returned yet. This was a relief for him, saving the need for explanations.

He hurriedly took the medication he had promised Lin Lan from his box, put some in a small bottle after diluting it a bit according to his estimate, checked that there was enough, then pocketed the small bottle and locked his box. He burst out of the dormitory and ran outside at full speed.

Just as he neared the corner of the hallway, he almost collided with a few other people.

"Boss, why are you running so fast?" It was Cao Jianhui and the others returning after dinner. Seeing Luo Ziling sprinting, Cao Jianhui quickly called out, "Haven't you eaten dinner?"

"No, I've got something to do, I'll be back soon," Luo Ziling didn't stop for a second and disappeared from sight in an instant.

"There's a problem," Cao Jianhui followed for a few steps, but when he didn't see Luo Ziling anymore, he mysteriously said to the others, "Boss is being so secretive, he must be up to something shady."

"Let's interrogate him properly when he comes back," Li Fuming immediately agreed, "He didn't even show up for military training this afternoon."

"He was taken away by our chief military training officer, no idea what he was up to," Wu Longjiang chimed in, "When he returns, we definitely need to interrogate him well; that guy has been hiding too many secrets from us."

As his three roommates plotted to interrogate him thoroughly, Luo Ziling had already rushed back to where Lin Lan had parked.

After getting into the car through the passenger door, Luo Ziling took out the bottle of medication from his pocket and handed it to Lin Lan.

"Here you go," he said as he passed it over, also briefly mentioning how to use it, "Apply it before sleeping, three drops on one spot are enough. Drop it on the skin and massage firmly, allowing the medication to fully penetrate the skin. This is about a week's dosage, by the time you finish this bottle of medication, those remaining scars of yours will slowly disappear. The medication works by promoting skin renewal and keeping the skin delicate."

As he spoke, Luo Ziling chuckled, "Actually, it can also be used for the face, regularly wiping your face with it will lighten the skin."

In reality, these last few comments were made by Luo Ziling because he noticed Lin Lan's slightly dark complexion.

Lin Lan's skin wasn't pale, likely due to her usual training.

They had only been doing military training for a few days, yet the girls in their class who originally had delicate skin had already tanned quite a bit. Luo Ziling guessed that by the end of the training, everyone in the class would have turned into Negroes. Considering Lin Lan's training would undoubtedly be many times more than the students', her darkening skin was no surprise.

Lin Lan took the small bottle Luo Ziling handed her, turned it over and over in her hands for a moment, then murmured, "Then why didn't you give me more?"

Luo Ziling was startled, promptly explaining, "Actually, young skin is naturally tender, there's no need to apply this."

"All right," Lin Lan hesitated for a moment before asking quietly again, "Can it really get rid of the scars on my body?"

"Some of them, yes, but not the large ones!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "Big scars need to have all the scar tissue removed before applying the medicinal powder."

He continued, adding proudly, "The powder is a formula my grandfather developed, and it works very well. Applied during wound stitching and daily during recovery, it can heal without leaving any scars."

"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow!" Lin Lan started the car.

Luo Ziling prepared to get out, but as he pushed open the passenger door, he asked quietly, "Did you really ask for leave for me?"

Lin Lan nodded,

"Then come pick me up tomorrow morning," Luo Ziling requested a bit shyly, "It's cooler in the morning, more suitable for treatment. Otherwise, sweating too much can lead to fatigue."

Actually, he had another reason; if Lin Lan came to pick him up in the morning, then he could skip military training for the entire day.

Although he wasn't as resistant to military training as the others, he was still getting bored with the repetitive, dull exercises every day.

"Okay," Lin Lan nodded again, adding this time, "Tomorrow at eight o'clock, I'll be waiting for you here."

"Great," Luo Ziling said, jumped out of the car, and closed the door firmly behind him.

The Hummer roared away.

Watching the vehicle drive off, Luo Ziling then turned and headed back to the dormitory.

He was actually quite tired today; acupuncture and manipulation for the elderly had been very physically demanding.

He hadn't replenished his energy after expending it.

As he felt the emptiness in his stomach, Luo Ziling couldn't help but curse Lin Lan and the old man inwardly. To request his services for treating illnesses, yet show no appreciation or even prepare some refreshments or fruit, this sort of hospitality was really questionable.

He had to bring up this issue tomorrow.

Pondering how to communicate this without being abrupt or direct, Luo Ziling decided he needed to think it through when he got back.

The memory of seeing Lin Lan's upper body earlier caused Luo Ziling's heartbeat to quicken.
