Chapter 286: There Will Definitely Be One Day

The next morning, Luo Ziling, who had a very good night’s sleep, was waiting early at the school gate for Lin Lan to pick him up.

Just like yesterday, he bought a big bag of Xiao Long Bao from the entrance and waited for Lin Lan while eating them.

He intentionally arrived at the school gate a bit earlier, hoping more people would see him eventually getting into a military Humvee.

The snack shop owner looked at him with a completely different gaze from yesterday, full of admiration.

Although Luo Ziling didn’t show off much yesterday, the woman who came to pick him up was too impressive.

With one collision with the car, she handled two men single-handedly, shoving them into the car window, then beat up everyone else, leisurely sat down to eat breakfast afterwards, and casually walked off under the watchful eyes of the police.

Not only did the police not dare to give her a hard time, but they also saluted her.

Is there anything more satisfying than this? No!

Is there a cooler woman than this? Of course not.

This student has an extraordinary identity; anyone who dares to mess with him is bound to be unlucky.

Therefore, when Luo Ziling was buying Xiao Long Bao, the owner was very polite and even gave him two extra buns.

By the time Luo Ziling finished eating, Lin Lan’s car had just arrived at the school gate.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Luo Ziling boarded the very imposing Humvee.

“Did you have breakfast? I bought you some buns,” Luo Ziling lifted up the bag of Xiao Long Bao in his hand and smilingly suggested, “Eat them while they’re hot.”

Lin Lan did not expect Luo Ziling to prepare breakfast for her, and although she had already eaten, she was still somewhat moved.

“I’m driving!” she said without giving a clear refusal.

In fact, she had eaten breakfast yesterday morning too, but ended up having another one while waiting for the police with Luo Ziling.

“Shall I feed you?” Luo Ziling took out a pair of chopsticks and smiled, “It won’t affect your driving.”

Without waiting for Lin Lan to agree or refuse, he grabbed a Xiao Long Bao and held it up to her mouth.

Luo Ziling was always grateful to those who treated him well.

Lin Lan helped him vent his anger yesterday, beating up those who sought revenge on him, which greatly elevated her status in his heart. He felt he would never forget the scene of Lin Lan forcefully pushing the Toyota back and dumping those guys into the car.

Feeling embarrassed and somewhat annoyed by Luo Ziling’s offer to feed her, Lin Lan involuntarily glared at him.

“It’s not the first time I’ve fed you, I’ve fed you so many times already,” Luo Ziling said with another laugh.

Caught off guard, Lin Lan finally opened her mouth and ate the Xiao Long Bao Luo Ziling held out to her.

Under Luo Ziling’s insistence and teasing, Lin Lan eventually ate the whole basket of buns, albeit reluctantly.

“The flavor is pretty good, I’ll buy you another batch tomorrow.” Luo Ziling was satisfied as Lin Lan seemed more accommodating.

“No need,” Lin Lan replied, refusing, “I already had breakfast.”

“Oh, really?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. “Then never mind.”

It seemed like he might have pushed a bit too hard today.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s reaction, Lin Lan immediately felt she had done something foolish. After a moment of thought, she softened her tone unusually, “Then tomorrow I won’t have breakfast before picking you up. I’ll first eat the Xiao Long Bao, and then we’ll go. They do taste quite good.”

Lin Lan actually said such a thing, and Luo Ziling felt as if his glasses had fallen off, unable to help but turn to look at her.

But Lin Lan had already resumed her cold and proud demeanor, focusing on driving and not even glancing his way.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind.

After arriving at the Dragon Rise base, Luo Ziling chatted with Li Haiyang for a few phrases and then began to treat him.

After saying so much to Luo Ziling yesterday, Li Haiyang did not say much today.

Li Haiyang was originally a person who didn’t like to talk much, and that was the impression everyone at Dragon Rise had of him. His subordinates, seeing him, were as frightened as mice seeing a cat, no one daring to talk to him much, and he couldn’t be bothered to say much to those underlings either.

That Luo Ziling chatted so happily with Li Haiyang, and Li Haiyang was so enthusiastic with Luo Ziling, was something no one had expected, and Lin Lan was no exception. She even felt a tinge of jealousy because of it.

“I will stay here for a while, going nowhere. If you have time, come to see me every day. If you have classes and can’t make it, then come over whenever you do have time,” Li Haiyang said during the treatment.

Luo Ziling naturally agreed, indicating that he would definitely come over to help him with his treatment whenever he had time.

“Senior, the treatment effect is really quite good, at least much better than I expected,” Luo Ziling said with a smile to Li Haiyang after removing all the needles: “The hope for a cure is growing, and I believe one day you will stand up.”

“You’ve given me hope and confidence,” Li Haiyang chuckled, “If I can stand up one day, I will definitely have a drink with you, and we won’t stop until we’re both drunk.”

“There will definitely be such a day.” Luo Ziling’s smile was brilliant.

After Li Haiyang’s laughter subsided, he asked Luo Ziling seriously, “I heard from Lin Lan that you want to become an extramural member of Dragon Rise?”

“The commander here, along with a few others, hope I can join Dragon Rise, but I can’t officially join, so I had this idea,” Luo Ziling said shyly, his true intention he believed Li Haiyang must know, but he just wouldn’t say it outright.

“But Dragon Rise doesn’t have extramural members,” Li Haiyang’s words shattered Luo Ziling’s fantasy.

But as Luo Ziling felt disappointed, Li Haiyang added, “But we can try to apply for it.”

Luo Ziling immediately felt happy again.

“However, it’s very difficult to succeed!”

Luo Ziling’s happiness faded instantly.

In his heart, he also cursed at Li Haiyang, this old man—couldn’t he just say everything at once instead of dragging his spirits down, then pulling them up, only to douse him again with a splash of cold water—no matter how powerful you are, Li Haiyang, you shouldn’t toy with people like this.

Luo Ziling’s facial expressions changed, all witnessed by Li Haiyang and Lin Lan standing to the side awaiting orders.

Li Haiyang showed no reaction, but Lin Lan pursed her lips at him, a look of disdain on her face.

While leaving Li Haiyang’s building with Lin Lan, Luo Ziling asked her in a sullen mood, “Senior is willing to help me apply for the status of an extramural member, why aren’t you?”

“That’s your business, it has nothing to do with me,” Lin Lan huffed.

“If I become an extramural member of your team, then we’ll be comrades in arms. What a great thing that would be.” Luo Ziling couldn’t understand why Lin Lan had that expression.

But Lin Lan didn’t answer his question, only gave him a roll of her eyes, leaving Luo Ziling feeling even more frustrated.

“Hey, where are you taking me?” When Lin Lan didn’t head towards the small building where he stayed but instead took another direction, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

Lin Lan didn’t answer and just continued walking forward, Luo Ziling had no choice but to follow behind her, feeling sullen.

Soon, he realized that Lin Lan was actually taking him toward the training grounds, and his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

This woman, could she also want to have a challenge with him?
