"Don’t move, Xiao Chang is really good at this, her method of injecting and applying medicine is very gentle, guaranteed not to hurt."

Doctor Chang walked up to Meng Xinian, put down the medicine box, quickly glanced at him with a red face, then quickly looked down and reached out to unbuckle his belt.

"Great Officer Meng, this wound is really deep, and you’ve been outside for two days already with no treatment. If it gets infected, it will be troublesome. I need to clean it for you first."

Even though that’s what she said, her heart couldn’t help but pound uncontrollably as she personally reached for Meng Xinian’s belt, her face turning even redder.

She had cared for many injured patients before, why didn’t she feel this way about others?

Facing Meng Xinian now, all she felt was an overwhelming surge of hormones.

This man, he exuded such intense masculinity. Being so close to him made her feel a little intoxicated.

Before her hand could touch Meng Xinian’s belt, he had already shaken off He Qisheng with a wave of his arm and took two steps back.

"I said I don’t need it."

"Old Meng, why are you so stubborn?"

"Great Officer Meng!" Doctor Chang felt her face grow hotter, and Meng Xinian’s actions made her feel slightly hurt. She stomped her foot, her eyes throwing an unintentionally teasing glance at Meng Xinian.

"What are you doing! Be careful not to reopen the wound!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Haha, Old Meng must be flustered because you’re too pretty, getting close to him and trying to undo his belt. He’s being a bit fanciful!" He Qisheng looked at Meng Xinian, then at Doctor Chang, unable to resist teasing.

When training at the Alliance base got too boring, they would often crack such jokes. He was more familiar with Doctor Chang because she used to be in their camp.

Doctor Chang was known as a flower in their camp; so many used to come up with various reasons to visit the medical department.

Whether it was a minor sprain, slight scratch, stomach upset, or headache, things that could normally be endured or handled on their own, suddenly everyone was running to see her after Doctor Chang was transferred there.

Now this Doctor Chang is so proactive about Meng Xinian’s injury, and yet he keeps avoiding her, really...

He Qisheng clicked his tongue twice and laughed.

Is it really like that?

Doctor Chang quickly glanced at Meng Xinian once more, but his face was too dirty to discern his original appearance. She couldn’t help but say: "Great Officer Meng, how about I fetch some water so you can wash your face first?"

"No need."

Meng Xinian said as he picked up his bag and walked out.

He Qisheng was stunned.

"Old Meng, where are you going?"

"To take a shower."

"You still have injuries, why take a shower? Just wipe yourself down! Xiao Chang can help wipe you down!"

Meng Xinian ignored him, striding towards the bathing area.

He tore off his clothes, revealing several wounds on his body.

Fearing someone would come, Meng Xinian quickly rinsed himself and swiftly dressed, heading back out.

There were so many wounds on his body, but he really didn’t feel any pain now.

Stuffing the Pain-Relief Talisman Diagram and some other talismans into his pocket, he drank a small bottle of water, then stuffed the remaining bottles into his pocket before returning to the barracks.

He Qisheng was still there, but Doctor Chang had already left.

Seeing him return so quickly, He Qisheng glanced at him. Noticing that his walking and movements seemed completely unaffected by his wounds, still as natural as ever, he couldn’t help but marvel: "I say, Old Meng, people always say you’re made of steel. I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems true. Doesn’t that wound hurt at all?"
