"Captain Lan." As there were others present, He Zhilan took the initiative to greet Lan Li. However, she only made a quick greeting and no more, quietly standing next to He Teng. She was trying to avoid embarrassing He Teng by seeming impolite.

"He Teng, what happened?" The military doctor, not much older than He Teng and Lan Li, looked at He Teng, then at He Zhilan and smiled, "He Teng’s wife, the sweater you knitted is really beautiful. Everyone in the regiment knows about it. As soon as Captain He wears the sweater his wife knitted, he doesn’t need to wear a coat in the dead of winter, he is fully warm. Can you knit me one, too? They say the sweater He Teng is wearing is very beautiful!"

He Zhilan knew that the military doctor was teasing herself and He Teng. Lan Li was also present, so she stretched out both hands and regretfully said, "I’d like to, if only I could. Look at my hands, I can’t even feed myself, my brother has to feed me!"

"Oh! What happened here?" The military doctor looked closely, "Burnt?"

"Yes~ it was a little devil of a cousin, who is pampered by someone to the point of being unruly, who did this!" He Zhilan spoke in an odd tone, and deliberately cast a glance at Lan Li. It was clear who she was referring to as ’someone’ and who was the ’little devil cousin’.

"Could you please help her change the dressing and see if there are any blisters?" He Teng said to the military doctor. After the doctor took He Zhilan in to change the dressing, He Teng looked at Lan Li again, "I heard that Chief Gu will visit the military tonight. I will personally seek an explanation from him."

"Is it really Gu En?" Lan Li raised his hand and furrowed his brows.

"I trust He Zhilan. If she says it is, it must be." He Teng replied.

Lan Li’s head began to throb a bit, "Do you know what happened exactly?"

"Over the winter holidays, Zhilan got a job at a restaurant through Lin Chan. Yesterday Gu En was there, he tripped her, leading to her falling and spilling hot cocoa on her hand. He Zhilan told me this, and I trust her. Miss Gu has repeatedly bullied He Zhilan, I won’t endure it any longer, even if she is your cousin." He Teng spoke firmly. As soon as he finished speaking, before Lan Li could say anything, He Teng directly turned around and went in to see how He Zhilan’s dressing was going.

Inside, as soon as the military doctor unwound the gauze from He Zhilan’s hands, he couldn’t help but click his tongue, "Such a large area, it must have been really painful at the time?"

He Zhilan, who was unaware that He Teng had entered, quietly replied to the military doctor, "It was very painful, I cried in pain at the scene. Last night when I was sleeping, I didn’t know how to position my hand, it was so hot. It wasn’t until this morning that it got a little better!"

"You were lucky to have treated it in time. Although it hasn’t blistered much, it’s still terribly swollen. If not handled properly at this stage and later on, it will scar, and your beautiful hands will look quite awful with scars." The military doctor sighed. Gu En’s temper was well-known, so he had a clue.

"It will scar?" He Zhilan was startled, "Won’t that be terribly ugly?" You know, He Zhilan didn’t have a single scar on her entire body. As a woman naturally fond of beauty, she detested the idea of scars.

"Possibly a little bit, but it will fade slowly over time." The military doctor gently applied medicine to He Zhilan, instructing her not to burst the small blister that has formed on her hand, before rebandaging it.
