The hint of pink on her face appeared only for a brief moment before Lin Lan's gaze swiftly turned unfriendly, staring fiercely at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling was startled and quickly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to see how well you've recovered. You still needed follow-up treatment, and if you weren't so eager to leave, I could surely have made your wounds heal as if they had never happened."

Seeing Lin Lan's expression soften slightly, Luo Ziling hesitated, then added, "Actually, I've also thought about helping you remove those earlier scars. It seriously affects the beauty of a girl to have so many scars on her body. My family's secret medicine can eliminate scar tissue."

These words touched Lin Lan's heartstrings in an instant.

What woman doesn't want to be beautiful?

She was no exception.

Although women like them were used to the tests of life and death and had come to accept the many scars on their bodies, she was still a young woman who loved beauty. With so many and a few particularly unsightly scars on her body, she didn't dare to wear too little in hot weather. Being seen with those frightening scars was too jarring, and even she felt embarrassed.

She agreed that scars were a soldier's honor, but she also recognized the desire of a beautiful woman for a perfect body.

When taking a bath, standing in front of a floor-length mirror without clothes, she would look at her delicate face and perfect figure, along with the scars on her body, and often sigh that the beauty of her body had been marred, which was quite heartbreaking.

If someone could remove the scars from her body, she was willing to pay a certain price.

"You're saying... you can remove the scars on my body?" Possessed by some urge, she asked Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling didn't answer but counterquestioned, "The two wounds you got last time, do they have scars now?"

"Only a little bit," Lin Lan honestly answered.

"Give it another month at most, and there will be no trace of the wounds," Luo Ziling said with a proud smile, "Especially if I apply some of my medicine to them!"

That was his pride. The medicine that he and his grandfather formulated together was extremely effective in healing wounds and promoting skin cell regeneration and growth. Even for older individuals, whose metabolic functions had declined, using their medicine after an injury would leave virtually no scars or at most a faint trace.

His grandfather once said that if they went to a big city in the future, just this medicinal recipe or medicine could bring them incalculable profits. However, Luo Ziling had little concept of making money from a medicinal recipe; what he thought about most was using the recipe and his medical skills to save people.

"Come with me," Lin Lan hesitated for a moment before beckoning Luo Ziling to follow her.

Luo Ziling didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

The two arrived at a small building far from the little garden where they had just treated the old man.

Lin Lan led Luo Ziling up to the second floor and stopped in front of a room's door, then swiped her fingerprint on something that glowed faintly red on the door frame, and the door opened in response.

"Come in," said Lin Lan as she pushed the door and entered, signaling Luo Ziling, who hesitated at the doorway, to follow her inside.

After entering the house, Lin Lan closed the door and took off the tall military boots she had been wearing.

Only then did Luo Ziling see clearly that this was a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, modestly furnished and without much furniture, but very clean.

"This is where I live," Lin Lan explained softly, noticing Luo Ziling's confusion.

"It's quite clean," Luo Ziling commented dryly, and he removed his shoes as well.

Without turning her head, Lin Lan walked into the bedroom but didn't call for Luo Ziling to follow her in.

Standing in the living room, Luo Ziling felt a sudden dilemma. Should he go in, or just stand foolishly outside and wait?

This woman, inviting him to her place but not saying what for?

Just like Ouyang Feifei, always playing it cool.

"You can come in as well!" Lin Lan's voice came from the bedroom.

Luo Ziling let out a sigh of relief.

However, upon entering the bedroom, he became tense all over again.

That's because he saw Lin Lan standing in front of the bed without her shirt on, her hands crossed over her chest.

Seeing this, Luo Ziling, still a young virgin, immediately felt nervous, his heartbeat involuntarily quickening.

If she forces me to do... that with her, what should I do? Should I resist, or just lie down?

Noticing Luo Ziling's awkward stance and his reddening face, Lin Lan, who had been feeling anxious, relaxed a little.

The young man was still as shy as the last time, which was quite amusing.

"Since you want to see my wounds, take a look first, and tell me how they should be treated," Lin Lan said, releasing her hands from her chest and walking up to Luo Ziling, biting her lip.

Luo Ziling's face turned even redder, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do, wanting to look but too shy to do so.

While in the presence of the old man, his legs did not weaken under the old man's authority and tremendous aura.

But facing Lin Lan with her shirt off, his legs did go weak, as did his hands, and his breathing and heartbeat accelerated. However, seeing the candid look in Lin Lan's eyes, Luo Ziling managed to calm down, took a couple of deep breaths, and then walked over to examine her wounds.

As he approached Lin Lan, the woman's body fragrance filled his nose.

The scent of Lin Lan's body was quite pleasant, not like the smell of cosmetics, but more like natural body scent.

Last time when she was injured, the pleasant smell was not as strong, or perhaps Luo Ziling had not paid attention to it at that moment.

Inhaling the enticing fragrance, Luo Ziling couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated and weak at the knees again.

This time, he recovered his senses more quickly, took a discreet breath, and studied Lin Lan's wounds in the light.
