水蜜桃实验室

Once inside the medical office, Xu Fan tightly closed the door behind him and heard a burst of bell-like laughter coming from the hallway.

Xu Fan listened intently; the laughter contained his daughter Tongtong’s milky chuckles and Zhao Xiaoqing’s sunny, delicate giggles.

Following the sounds, Xu Fan made his way to Zhao Xiaoqing’s office inside the medical office.

Upon entering, Little Tongtong was lying in Zhao Xiaoqing’s arms, animatedly chatting about something, her big eyes brimming with joyous laughter.

Ben Ben lay on the floor, completely undisturbed by the two, fully immersed in the cultivation of the “Swallowing Moon Divine Technique.”

Xu Fan entered the room and gently coughed.

“Daddy, Tongtong missed you so much.” Hearing Xu Fan’s voice, Tongtong quickly turned her head from Zhao Xiaoqing’s embrace, saw her daddy returned, and eagerly scrambled down, throwing herself into Xu Fan’s arms.

“I missed you too, Good Girl. Have you been behaving yourself or causing trouble for Auntie?” Xu Fan pinched Tongtong’s shiny little nose and asked with affection.

“No, Tongtong has been very good. Auntie Xiaoqing has been praising Tongtong,” Tongtong pouted, shaking her twin braids, and said proudly.

“Instructor Xu, Tongtong really hasn’t been troublesome, and she’s actually made me feel a lot better. Seeing such an adorable child like Tongtong, I’ve begun to look forward to life more. If I could have such a beautiful baby, I would be content,” Zhao Xiaoqing said, looking at Tongtong with envious eyes.

She had known that she could only live until twenty-five, so although she appeared spirited and positive in her daily life, deep down she never dared to face others because she was a girl with no future.

From her childhood to adulthood, she had never experienced a single romance. As a child, strict family education and her family’s prestigious background meant that any suitor was swiftly dealt with by her parents before they could even take action.

As she grew up and learned of her condition, she dared not venture into romance. Love was a luxury to her; no one could accept a girlfriend who would only live till twenty-five. Even she felt inferior due to her circumstance, unable to face her admirers and thus always presenting a cold exterior that deterred any hopeful young men.

Li Changjiang, the captain of the Falcon Squad from Zhonghai City, had once pursued her fiercely, but Zhao Xiaoqing had no interest in a relationship and especially not with Li Changjiang. Even though Li Changjiang was persistent, Zhao Xiaoqing never agreed to his advances.

It wasn’t just Li Changjiang who was interested in her; there were probably not eighty but at least fifty to sixty men from both the War Wolf and Falcon Squads who liked her.

However, Zhao Xiaoqing was firm and never became too involved with anyone, focusing on taking good care of each injured soldier, despite the friction between the War Wolf and Falcon Squads, they were all very polite to her.

Zhao Xiaoqing had thought she would spend the last of her days in the medical office on the training field, but after meeting Xu Fan, a huge turnaround occurred.

Xu Fan not only diagnosed her illness at a glance but also bluntly revealed the reason she had been in a deep sleep: she was infected by a Gu insect, and more importantly, he had a way to cure it.

For Zhao Xiaoqing, this news was like being brought back from the dead, and she didn’t dare doubt Xu Fan’s mystical methods for a moment.

Hao Bei, who was supposed to be bedridden for three months, was healed in an instant by him. She had just seen through the window, on the training field, everyone else had collapsed from exhaustion while Xiao Bei was still energetically hopping around.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoqing was convinced that if there was one person in the world who could cure her, it would definitely be Xu Fan.

As Xu Fan suddenly walked in and firmly shut the door, a flicker of nervousness struck Zhao Xiaoqing’s heart.

“Nurse Zhao, could you please close the window and then draw the curtains?” Xu Fan said to Zhao Xiaoqing, feeling a bit awkward.

“In broad daylight… why would we… close the window and draw the curtains?” Zhao Xiaoqing’s fair face flushed with a hint of red as she meekly spoke to Xu Fan.

“Because the smell from outside will soon drift in,” Xu Fan said with a pained expression.

His sense of smell was much more sensitive than ordinary people, so he had already detected a faint stench beginning to waft in from outside the window.

“Woof Woof, why do I smell a weird scent!” Ben Ben, lying on the ground, sniffed his nose and then made a retching expression.

“Huh, it seems like some strange smell has drifted in.” Zhao Xiaoqing also frowned, her crystalline little nose crinkling as she quickly closed the window.

“Instructor Xu, the smell outside?” Zhao Xiaoqing asked Xu Fan with a bit of confusion.

“Haha, you don’t need to worry about it, try not to go out if it’s not necessary, but if you must go out, be sure to wear a mask,” Xu Fan chuckled and winked at Zhao Xiaoqing.

“Daddy, daddy, Auntie Qing is so nice, she tells lots of stories!” Tongtong, holding onto Xu Fan’s arm, pursed her lips toward Zhao Xiaoqing, her little face full of admiration.

“Is that so? Then let’s come here often, okay?” Xu Fan looked down and gently kissed his precious daughter’s smooth forehead.

“Yes, I want to listen to Auntie Qing’s stories!” Tongtong clapped her hands excitedly and said to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan laughed heartily. It so happened that he had to come and supervise the training of the War Wolf Squad for the coming month, and he could also use the excuse of bringing Tongtong to listen to stories, which was killing two birds with one stone.

“Umm, Instructor Xu, I want to ask you something,” Zhao Xiaoqing said to Xu Fan somewhat shyly.

“Oh? What is it?” Xu Fan turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaoqing.

Biting her lip, Zhao Xiaoqing said, “Can you really cure the Gu insect that’s inside me, the one called ‘Di Sha Mian’?”

“Although ‘Di Sha Mian’ is a bit malicious, it’s not really a problem for me,” Xu Fan nodded and smiled confidently at Zhao Xiaoqing.

“Thank you! Whatever reward you want, I will make sure you’re satisfied,” Zhao Xiaoqing said a bit excitedly, her beautiful eyes showing traces of tears beginning to form.

“As for a reward, just tell my daughter stories. My baby girl isn’t easy to fool, you have to make them vivid and keep her happy,” Xu Fan said as he touched Tongtong’s braids, looking affectionately at his little treasure Tongtong.

“No problem! Tongtong is so likable. I will definitely treat her as my own daughter,” Zhao Xiaoqing said earnestly.

Having said that, Zhao Xiaoqing seemed to realize the misunderstanding in her words and suddenly blushed.

If I start treating Tongtong as my daughter, wouldn’t that make me Instructor Xu’s…

Thinking this, Zhao Xiaoqing, who had no experience with love, immediately buried her head like an ostrich, not daring to look at Xu Fan, her face burning as if feverish.

“This nurse is too easily embarrassed, isn’t she? She was so cold to me at first, how come she’s so shy now,” Xu Fan stroked his chin, a bit confused.
