I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 280: Chapter 279: Haven’t Heard a Single Song

After work, Beisitian left the health team, Tian Lei followed her out, chasing after to ask, ”Beibei, why don’t you join our choir? Why mix with a bunch of ladies for no reason!”

Hearing this nickname, Beisitian’s face darkened again, and she replied without turning her head, ”Call me Beisitian! I promised the family members first, so of course, I can’t back out.”

With four people singing, her voice would immediately stand out, and of course, that wouldn’t work!

”Beibei, they’re not missing you, whether you’re there or not, you have no role to play over there!”

No role to play? That’s fantastic!

”Beibei...”

Beisitian abruptly stopped, turned back with a wooden expression, finally realizing there are people in the world with such thick skin; no matter how she turned him down, he didn’t react!

Today, Luo Xudong came to pick up Beisitian. He immediately saw the intern medical assistant from the health team next to Beisitian, hands in pockets, bending slightly while speaking to examine Beisitian’s expression with interest, and his face instantly turned cold.

”Xudong.” Beisitian couldn’t help but smile when she saw Luo Xudong. But seeing the ice on his face, her heart skipped; this guy was angry.

She quickly glared at Tian Lei and walked over to him quickly.

Tian Lei stopped, his white shirt and green military pants made him look quite elegant. Standing there, he looked at Luo Xudong, raising his chin slightly.

Is this a provocation?

Luo Xudong was about to step over; other provocations he might ignore, but he couldn’t bear it when it came to Beisitian.

Seeing this, Beisitian felt bad, quickly grabbing his arm. If a conflict started here, it wouldn’t do anyone any good, not to mention Tian Lei didn’t mean it; who knows why his brain cramped and decided to provoke Luo Xudong.

Seeing Beisitian holding Luo Xudong, a hint of pleasure flashed across Tian Lei’s face, showing a bright smile, and he looked at Luo Xudong with a sense of triumph.

That feeling seemed to say, see, she’s protecting me!

Beisitian face-palmed; this guy really deserved a beating!

Tian Lei knew not to overstep; he chuckled and turned away.

Beisitian was furious; this guy was truly infuriating!

Luo Xudong watched his retreating figure with a deep gaze; Beisitian was startled and quickly pulled Luo Xudong away.

Luo Xudong was silent the whole way, and Beisitian smiled bitterly, not even knowing how to explain; Tian Lei was really infuriating!

”Xudong...” Beisitian called softly, then saw a big hand rise and fall on her head.

”Let’s go home.” Luo Xudong gave her a faint smile.

He could see Beisitian’s impatience with Tian Lei, so he naturally didn’t think much of it; it was just that when a man got close to her, it instinctively made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing Luo Xudong seem to return to normal, Beisitian finally smiled, and the two of them went home hand in hand.

While eating, Beisitian said, ”After dinner, I’m going to Sister-in-law Li’s to learn to sing.”

Sister-in-law Li, Li Shuzhen?

Luo Xudong understood; Sergeant Zhang was on field training and wouldn’t be home for the next couple of nights.

”Go ahead, but don’t tire yourself out. The party is just for fun anyway,” Luo Xudong said.

Beisitian saw that he never wanted to add pressure on her, and couldn’t help but smile; she truly had no intention of pushing herself.

Although standing out at the party could save face for both herself and her man, Luo Xudong didn’t need it, and she had no desire for it.

Zhang Guishan’s company 7 and his company 9 were brother companies, and Luo Xudong was happy that Beisitian got along well with Li Shuzhen.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have a friend here, and Luo Xudong would be worried she’d get bored.

After washing the dishes, Beisitian went to Li Shuzhen’s house.

The dorm buildings were all the same structure; inside, everything was similar if using military-issue items, but Li Shuzhen was someone who pursued fashion. Military items were all one color, too monotonous, she liked more color at home.

”Come in quickly, I’ve been waiting for you.” Li Shuzhen smiled, welcoming her in.

Upon entering, Beisitian immediately saw the purplish-red curtains, and then the eye-catching magenta tablecloth on the round table.

Perhaps because military families saw too much green, Li Shuzhen put some thought into the room’s decor, choosing vibrant colors.

Though the colors were bright red and purple, Li Shuzhen’s coordination wasn’t hard to look at. When you went there, it almost felt like New Year’s was approaching.

Two family members were sitting on the sofa, curiously examining Beisitian as she came in.

Beisitian had a good memory; these two had both been to the health team before. Though their encounter was brief, she remembered their appearances.

”Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhang from the Twenty-eighth Regiment’s home, called Li Mingrong; she shares my last name. And this is Zhou Chunlai, from Mr. Zhou’s family in the Twenty-eighth Regiment. They’re both older than you, so just call them sister-in-law.” Li Shuzhen introduced with a smile.

Beisitian smiled at them, noticing Li Mingrong’s thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving her a simple appearance. It’s said she’s from the countryside, so very curious about Beisitian.

Zhou Chunlai was in a T-shirt and jeans, with a smiling mouth and proper posture, unlike Li Mingrong’s casual demeanor; her family likely emphasized manners.

”Having more people practicing adds atmosphere, we’re all about the same height, maybe we’ll end up standing together,” Li Mingrong laughed.

Her voice was crisp and bright; she seemed to be a lively woman.

”It’s just for appearances when families contribute to the program every year; no need to be nervous, Xiao Bei.” Zhou Chunlai spoke gently, smiling at Beisitian.

Beisitian returned the smile, nodded, and sat down.

”We still haven’t decided on a song this time; we can’t avoid a few,” Li Shuzhen said, writing some song titles on the newspaper’s blank space.

”I think just like last year, singing ’Unity is Strength’ is quite good,” Li Mingrong smiled wryly.

Every year at this time is a struggle, but they say it motivates the crowd, everyone must participate in group activities.

”No innovation at all, how about singing ’The Military’s Green Flower’?” Li Shuzhen suggested.

”’The Military’s Green Flower’ refers to the female soldiers. We as family members, who would we be singing to? I’d suggest singing ’Waves of Hong Lake’,” Zhou Chunlai said.

Hearing this, Li Mingrong quickly waved her hand, ”No, no, no, that pitch is too high, I couldn’t hit it even if it killed me!”

After a long discussion, the three turned to see Beisitian listening without adding her opinion.

”Xiao Bei, which one do you want to sing?” Zhou Chunlai asked.

Beisitian’s mouth twitched, ”If I could, I wouldn’t want to sing any...”

Li Mingrong gave a thumbs-up, ”We’re on the same page!”

But after hearing Beisitian’s reason, all three widened their eyes, ”You haven’t heard any of them?!”

Not a single one, not even half a one!
