The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 470: Chapter 470 Let’s Make a Bet
 

Li Haiyang’s condition has shown significant improvement, which means his health has improved drastically.

Although his bodily movements are still not smooth, compared to his previous stiffness and immobility, the current situation is much more reassuring.

His fingers and toes can now slowly bend, and with the help of the nurses, he can stand up using some of his own strength.

Although this change is like night and day compared to his previous immobility, as Luo Ziling boasted to Lin Lan, it’s no longer a quantitative change for Li Haiyang’s condition, but a qualitative one.

Today, after Luo Ziling’s treatment, Li Haiyang sweated profusely. After sweating, his muscles were noticeably more relaxed and no longer felt as rigid to the touch.

“Ziling, I really didn’t expect that in less than two months, you would make me witness a miracle,” Li Haiyang said with a smile while slowly bending his index finger, “I thought my limbs would be immobile for the rest of my life, no longer mine. But you’ve created a miracle. Truly worthy of being the descendant of a great doctor, your medical skills are not just talk.”

“Senior, there is still a very long way to go before your limbs can move freely, and many more treatments are necessary,” Luo Ziling said, drenched in sweat. He snatched a towel from Lin Lan who was standing by the side, wiped his sweat twice, took a long breath, and then suggested, “Senior, the results are quite noticeable lately. I think we should intensify the treatments. Once a week for acupuncture is too long of an interval; it’s better to do it every two days. That way, the results might be even better. However, the distance from our school is too far, it’s not very convenient to travel, and I also have to attend classes.”

Li Haiyang thought for a moment, then asked Luo Ziling, “How long will the increased frequency of treatments need to continue?”

Luo Ziling also thought for a moment before replying, “Two weeks to a month should be about right, depending on the treatment results.”

“Then I’ll consider staying somewhere else for a while,” Li Haiyang made up his mind quickly. “In two days, I’ll have someone come to pick you up to give me treatments at a different location. But it might not be her picking you up this time!” Li Haiyang said, pointing at Lin Lan as he spoke.

This comment caught Lin Lan, who was in a rather good mood, by surprise, and she suddenly felt dejected.

But she didn’t say much, just stood quietly.

“Alright, then have the person who comes to pick me up contact me,” Luo Ziling said as he stood up. “Senior, you should rest for a bit now. After you sleep, let the nurses massage you for about half an hour.”

Li Haiyang smiled and nodded, gesturing for Lin Lan to lead Luo Ziling out.

“I was just about to tell you, I need to go out in a couple of days, and it might be a month before I come back,” Lin Lan said softly as they left Li Haiyang’s building.

“What for?” Luo Ziling suddenly became anxious, “Are you going on a mission again?”

Lin Lan glanced at Luo Ziling but didn’t say anything; instead, she headed towards the training field.

“Hey, are you trying to take my life?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but get angry, “I’ve just treated your leader and haven’t recovered my strength, and now you want to fight me? No way I’m going!”

“Shooting practice,” Lin Lan said indifferently, turning to look back at Luo Ziling before gently uttering two more words.

Although she spoke softly, Luo Ziling still heard her call him an “idiot,” which immediately annoyed him. “What did you say?”

Lin Lan stopped and looked seriously at Luo Ziling, saying bluntly, “I said you’re an idiot most of the time.”

Luo Ziling grew even angrier, but seeing Lin Lan reach for the gun at her waist, he ultimately managed to suppress his rage. After taking a couple of deep breaths, he coldly retorted, “I am indeed an idiot, an idiot for saving a woman like you.”

Hearing Luo Ziling speak like that, Lin Lan was stunned on the spot, her complexion turning unsightly, and she stared at Luo Ziling with an alien look.

Of course, Luo Ziling knew that Lin Lan calling him an “idiot” was just a joke, like the kind friends make among themselves, but being told that to his face, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed and thus retaliated with a vengeful tone.

However, seeing Lin Lan’s expression, he knew this woman with low emotional intelligence took it to heart.

But he didn’t explain, instead looking back at her with an equally cold expression—after all, he didn’t know how to explain it.

After Lin Lan glared at him for a while, Luo Ziling finally made another move, with a speed that she couldn’t react to, he reached out and touched her face, smiling, “A lot of the time, I just hope to see you angry, because you look cuter angry than when you have no expression.”

After speaking, Luo Ziling immediately felt relaxed, proud of his quick wit.

Lin Lan didn’t expect Luo Ziling to do such a thing, to tease her by touching her face outside, she knew that not far away there must be many eyes watching them, the scene of Luo Ziling teasing her by touching her face had already been seen by quite a few comrades, and maybe they were gossiping about her and Luo Ziling.

However, after glowering at Luo Ziling angrily a few more times, she eventually didn’t blow up and turned to leave.

Seeing Lin Lan’s expression change, becoming a bit angrily embarrassed, Luo Ziling actually breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Lan was angry, it meant she was just angry and hadn’t taken things to heart; if she was cold and emotionless, showing no variation in her feelings, that would have been the scariest thing.

Luo Ziling didn’t know why he came to this conclusion, he just felt it was true, perhaps because he had dealt with too many women with aloof personalities, and that gave him such an impression.

Ouyang Feifei, Yang Qingyin, Wuyue, Wang Qing, they were all like that, anyway, Luo Ziling felt that the scariest thing about them wasn’t when they were angry, but when they were expressionless.

Luo Ziling’s judgment was quite accurate, as Lin Lan didn’t treat him with that cold demeanor anymore subsequent to that.

During the time she was instructing Luo Ziling on shooting practice, she even took the opportunity to get back at him. She shot a series of ten rings to disgust Luo Ziling, who only managed three ten-ring shots out of ten bullets.

“Really thought men are naturally better than women, turns out it’s not that big a deal,” after tucking her service pistol away with a dashing move, Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling, who had run back from the target area, with contempt, “If you can, shoot a perfect hundred with ten bullets and show me.”

“Just wait, I will surpass you,” Luo Ziling twirled his hand a few times, realizing he couldn’t handle the gun as smoothly as Lin Lan did, a bit disheartened, yet he was reluctant to admit defeat, “What will you do if one day I become a better shot than you?”

“Impossible!” Lin Lan said with a face full of scorn.

“Let’s make a bet.” Luo Ziling was feeling a little bruised in ego, “Do you dare to bet? We’ll compare our shooting skills in two months!”

“Bet on what?”

What to bet on, Luo Ziling couldn’t think of something on the spot. After his eyes darted around for a moment, he then said, “How about this, the loser has to do one thing for the winner, no questions asked.”

“Deal!” Lin Lan agreed briskly, then added a remark that made Luo Ziling want to collapse, “You only get the bullets you have on you to practice.”

“…” Luo Ziling felt like hitting someone!
