I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Two People Acting Strange

Seeing Li Ying walk away cheerfully, Luo Jiali’s eyebrows and eyes carried a mocking expression as she glanced at Tian Lei and then at Luo Xudong.

Tian Lei didn’t quite understand, but Luo Xudong’s behavior was very obvious. He straightforwardly rejected Li Ying without leaving her any room to maneuver, even if she wanted to find a loophole, she couldn’t.

If it were any other man, seeing Li Ying clinging to his wife and acting coquettishly towards him, he would probably have agreed. But once there’s a first time, there will be a second!

Luo Jiali sneered inwardly. In matters like this, it really depends on the man.

At this moment, Tian Lei was looking at Luo Xudong. It was his first face-to-face meeting with Luo Xudong, and his gaze was scrutinizing.

To be honest, soldiers are not necessarily burly; some are short, but there are also tall ones. Luo Xudong is not bulky, but he is tall and broad-shouldered, with a slim waist, standing there in a way that’s hard to ignore.

Most importantly, this man exudes a sense of oppression. His face may be cold, but his gaze is truly sharp and icy. If you look at him rashly, you might feel a pang in your eyes.

A person like this, serving as a leader in the military, surely the people under him wouldn’t dare to frequently disobey. If he had some skills, he could surely keep the subordinates in line.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Luo Xudong is currently a deputy company commander, the soldiers under him trust him deeply, from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone knows he has a bright future, with a first-class merit hanging high above him, something many can only hope to achieve.

Tian Lei hadn’t met him for the first or second time; he had seen him in the cafeteria before. Although he didn’t show much expression on his face, his gaze towards the soldiers under him was different, and it could be seen that those soldiers truly admired Luo Xudong.

Tian Lei’s gaze was too blatant. Luo Xudong shifted his eyes over and saw his very critical look, frowning slightly.

”Do you have something to say?”

Upon hearing Luo Xudong’s inquiry, Tian Lei stood up and chuckled lightly, ”Nothing, just seeing what my colleague’s husband looks like.”

Luo Xudong’s gaze chilled slightly; the remark was uncomfortable, seemingly carrying a feeling of prying into Beisitian.

Thinking about Beisitian being ogled, a sense of inevitability arose. There was no choice—his wife was too outstanding and attractive, difficult for others not to take notice.

However, with him around, it wouldn’t be of any use for others to pine after her!

”Got a good look?” Luo Xudong asked Tian Lei.

”Got a good look.” Tian Lei shrugged.

Luo Xudong gave him one last glance, a look filled with obvious implications, which Tian Lei immediately understood.

Since he got a good look, it’d be best to restrain his thoughts.

Tian Lei couldn’t help but laugh. Well, well, no wonder he’s Deputy Squad Leader Luo; he sure has a temper.

It was obvious to everyone that there seemed to be a bit of tension between Tian Lei and Luo Xudong. Shen Junping looked at the two, somewhat puzzled by the situation.

Yu Shufang and Qi Xiu Hui were equally bewildered. How did the two seem like they were about to quarrel right when they met?

Luo Jiali looked at Tian Lei and raised an eyebrow slightly. What was he trying to do?

The two weren’t exactly at each other’s throats, but there was some tension. Sitiang naturally noticed, especially since Tian Lei was clearly provoking—was something wrong with this guy’s head?

Sitiang wasn’t in a place to say anything at that moment since anything she said could easily be misunderstood. So, she chose not to say anything. As she walked past Tian Lei, she gave him a look as if he were an idiot, and then left with Luo Xudong.

Seeing Sitiang’s little look, the little person in Tian Lei’s heart started crying rivers. Did Sitiang dislike him now?

”Why are you looking at me?” Tian Lei saw Luo Jiali looking at him with the same ’you’re an idiot’ look and said irritably.

”It’s nothing.” Luo Jiali spread her hands, then turned to ask Yu Shufang some questions about surgical issues.

Yu Shufang glanced at Shen Junping and saw that Shen Junping was similarly baffled and wisely didn’t bring up what had just happened. Smiling, she said to Luo Jiali, ”Actually, when it comes to surgery, you should ask Little Qi more. Her level in surgery is higher than mine.”

Qi Xiu Hui was surprised that Yu Shufang suddenly mentioned her, and when she processed the content, she felt a little flattered.

”I, I’m not so deserving of that...”

Yu Shufang chuckled. Ever since Beisitian came, Qi Xiu Hui seemed to have changed a bit. She was no longer so solitary in her tasks, or so eccentric in her ways. She could even eat with everyone, and her voice had grown a bit louder. Unfortunately, her character was still so soft.

Still, change is always good. Working in a positive environment inevitably leads to some changes.

Now, we don’t hear Tian Lei complaining about not belonging to the right discipline and showing an unwillingness to learn more. In fact, he was even asking some questions about surgery, obviously influenced by Beisitian.

Thinking of Beisitian, Yu Shufang shook her head and smiled. This girl may seem cold in temperament, but her heart is warm, and she possesses a unique power, subtly influencing those around her.

On the way home, Sitiang glanced at Luo Xudong several times, seeing him walking with focused eyes as usual, but she still felt he seemed a bit unhappy.

”Is it because of Tian Lei?” Sitiang initiated the conversation.

Luo Xudong’s eyes moved slightly, then shifted back, noncommittal.

He was a bit surprised Sitiang could understand his inner thoughts. His demeanor was honed over years of undercover work.

If you say less, you’ll make fewer mistakes. Keeping excessive expressions off your face wouldn’t let anyone read you. Working in such a tense, thrilling environment facing constant life-threatening danger greatly shaped him. Even if it was just a few years, it became a habit.

Even the military chief might not fully fathom his thoughts, but Sitiang easily picked up on the subtle shifts in his emotions.

Realizing this, Luo Xudong felt a warmth in his heart. To meet someone in this life who knows and understands you is truly rare.

”Honestly, even I don’t know what’s up with Tian Lei, but it’s definitely not what you think.” As for what it is, she really couldn’t articulate. Though she didn’t know what Tian Lei intended, she was sure he harbored no inappropriate thoughts towards her.

Luo Xudong suddenly reached out to touch her hair, ”I know, let’s go home.”

It’s just that the thought of someone potentially prying into Beisitian made him uncomfortable. He was very aware of his strong sense of possessiveness.

Sitiang pried his big hand away, giving him a reproachful glance, and tidied her hair, ”You always mess up my hair!”

”It looks good even when messy.”

”Not good at all!”

Sitiang sometimes wore her hair in a ponytail, naturally hanging down. Her hair was fluffy on top, and when Luo Xudong rubbed it, it became a bit disheveled.

Sitiang had no choice but to let her hair down, losing a bit of sharpness and gaining a touch of softness.

”By the way, my brother gave me a call.” Luo Xudong suddenly said.

Brother? Luo Xuhua?!
