I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Changing Names

Lying down is much more comfortable than standing, but even though Beisitian had been tired all day, with a man sleeping not far from her side, she couldn’t quite fall asleep.

Luo Xudong also couldn’t sleep, staring at the ceiling. He was almost not used to such a peaceful sleep.

”Can I call you Sitiang?”

”Mm.”

”Do you still have to call me Mr. Zhou?”

”...”

Even lying in bed, Beisitian couldn’t relax her mind, because the man beside her might, at any moment, dig a hole for her to fall into.

Beisitian felt that what she could do was to be generous and not let him make fun of her.

”Can I call you Xiao Luo?”

”I’m older than you.”

”Then how about Old Luo.”

”Alright, it feels like we’re an old couple.”

”...”

If someone is shameless, they can truly be invincible!

Luo Xudong saw that Beisitian was ignoring him and feared she might really be angry, so he smiled and asked, ”When did you find out, Sitiang?”

Beisitian knew he was referring to his identity.

”The time we went into the mountains.”

Luo Xudong was slightly stunned. He had thought that time was the most likely, could it be because of the eyebrows?

”Your eyebrows have grown back,” Beisitian stated confidently.

When Luo Xudong returned, she noticed that his eyebrows had returned to their original state. It seemed that over the past months, he no longer needed to hide, nor did he need to disguise them.

Speaking of which, without the little moustache and the beard on his chin, and with those drooping eyebrows trimmed, he looked completely different—not just spirited, but also exceptionally handsome. No wonder Zhang Lianqiao had a hard time with her because of a ’dead’ man.

So that was it, Luo Xudong smiled bitterly. That time, the army commander had warned him, saying Beisitian was observant and thoughtful, capable of deducing a general idea from just a few clues. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have cooperated with him so well later.

While Luo Xudong was lost in thought, soft snores had already started from the other side, indicating she had fallen asleep.

”Thank you,” Luo Xudong said softly.

He knew all about his parents’ situation. Without Beisitian, his mother would still be blind, and his father still lame. They would likely still be eating rough cornbread and pickled vegetables, wearing patched clothes, living in a dilapidated house, and being bullied and humiliated by the villagers.

He was aware of the crisis from a few days ago. Without Beisitian, if Ma Jian Country and others managed to capture his parents, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and he didn’t dare to think of the decision he would have had to make.

Beisitian had helped him settle his worries so he could flawlessly complete this mission!

”Only when the country is stable can a family be at peace. You serve the country, and I care for the family; you don’t need to carry any burden in your heart.” A mumble came from the other side, then faded away as the person truly fell asleep.

Luo Xudong was momentarily stunned but then slightly relaxed in the silent room. His eyes softened as he turned his head to look at her, her silhouette hazy under the moonlight. He had never seen such a wonderful girl.

Tonight, it wasn’t just Luo Er’s family who couldn’t sleep; everyone in Kao Village was abuzz about this matter.

Luo Xudong, who had been dead for six years, was back!

Moreover, he had transformed from a fugitive to a returning hero!

If it weren’t for the testimony of the army commander who came in a sedan, there wouldn’t have been a single person who would believe it!

They were just a very ordinary village at the foot of a mountain, where some people lived their whole lives uneventfully from birth to death. The most significant event that might happen was someone fighting on the village road, hurting people with weapons.

But in recent years, the stimuli given by Luo Er’s family to the villagers were one after another, each more surprising than the last!

This kidnapping incident still hadn’t passed, and then a ’dead man’ returned!

That said, their small Kao Village had actually produced a returning hero!

In the village, anyone who sent someone to join the army and rose to sergeant could proudly stand tall and boast everywhere, let alone a hero who had won first-class merit and was personally commended by an army commander who arrived in a sedan!

On the first day, many people were still immersed in the fact that Luo Xudong was alive, and many felt both admiration and jealousy at his high-profile return. However, more people understood that the rise of Luo Er’s family was unstoppable!

The next morning, when Beisitian woke up, she found that only she was left on the kang. Looking out through the window, she saw Luo Xudong exercising outside with his upper body bare.

After a simple wash-up, Beisitian learned that Luo Xudong had already run three laps along the village road and returned!

For the past few years, despite being behind enemy lines, Luo Xudong hadn’t delayed exercising. After all, his tasks involved not just gathering intelligence but also having the capability to maneuver against the opponents. Without a good physique, it wouldn’t be feasible, so he often used the pretense of loving outdoor activities to boost his training.

”Little Tian’er, come eat.”

Mrs. Qin got up especially early today, as did Luo Anguo. Both of them only fell asleep groggily around two or three in the morning. Waking up this early was due to the fear of it all being a dream, and only upon seeing their living son did they feel at ease.

”Little Tian’er arranged this breakfast. Every day has different herbs, which is beneficial to the body. You see, we’re in such good health because we often eat the medicinal meals prepared by Little Tian’er!” Mrs. Qin explained with a smile when she noticed Luo Xudong looking at them.

Luo Xudong listened quietly, a faint smile on his face, as Mrs. Qin spoke.

Beisitian lifted the door curtain, seeing Luo Xudong still with his upper body bare, the muscles on his chest, abdomen, and arms were distinct, emanating a sense of strength that made her heartbeat a little unstable, causing her to shift her gaze uncomfortably.

Luo Xudong’s eyes followed her. Seeing Beisitian’s eyes still hazy from sleep, they darkened a few shades.

Luo Anping came out carrying porridge at that moment, seeing Luo Xudong looking at Beisitian, he pouted his small mouth and suddenly called out loudly, ”Sister, let’s go eat!”

As he spoke, he pulled Beisitian’s hand and dragged her to the west room, giving Luo Xudong a provocative glance as they passed.

Luo Xudong raised an eyebrow. This kid had been giving him displeased looks since morning; was he really asking for trouble?

Beisitian chuckled at the proud Luo Anping, ”I haven’t even freshened up yet, sister.”

Hearing Beisitian’s words, Luo Xudong couldn’t help but wonder, ”Sister?”

Mrs. Qin paused, and back when Luo Xudong ’died,’ to find a future family for Beisitian, she had always let Luo Anping call her sister. Now that Luo Xudong was back, should he change his call?

Moreover, there was the issue of Luo Anping’s name. Previously, a fortune-teller had said if his name was changed, he wouldn’t die young like the elder. But with the elder not dead, it indicated that the fortune-teller was a fraud, and Luo Anping’s name should also be changed, aligning to the ’Xu’ generation.
