Chapter 177 As a Gift for a Friend

In the military district office
"Chief of Staff, are you looking for me?" Lu Yan walked in and said to Su Genglin.
Su Genglin looked up at Lu Yan. "Well, how's the injury?"
"It's okay now."
"Well, sit down."
Lu Yan paused, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
Seeing that Su Genglin was silent, Lu Yan asked curiously, "Chief of Staff, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Genglin casually replied, "Don't worry, wait until everyone is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zongwu's voice came from outside. "Report!"
"Enter."
Lu Yan's expression paused, and when Qin Zongwu approached, he glanced at him.
Su Genglin glanced at the two of them and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Qin Zongwu glanced at Lu Yan, and Lu Yan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye without saying anything.
Su Genglin said unhappily, "Lu Yan, do you know why the organization transferred you to the Shanghai Military Region?"
Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I guess the organization might have some tasks for me."
"Hmph! Pretty clever." Su Genglin was even more annoyed. "Then guess again, why did we assign you and Qin Zongwu to the same division, and make you superior and subordinate?"
This time, Lu Yan was too embarrassed to continue. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Genglin looked at Qin Zongwu again. "Qin Zongwu, you go ahead and talk!"
Qin Zongwu's face was expressionless. "The organization wants us to carry out the mission together."
"Yeah, you guessed right." Su Genglin stood up directly.
When Lu Yan saw this, he quickly stood up.
Su Genglin stared at the two of them for a few turns and said, "The organization put you together so that you can get used to each other and prepare for an important mission in the future.
But now you two are not only not getting along well, but you've even become rivals in love."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan immediately defended himself. "Chief of Staff, we don't bring personal matters into the military."
Su Genglin directly refuted him, "Huh! You're already using Sun Tzu's Art of War, but you haven't even brought it to the troops yet!
Even if you don't bring them to the army, won't your private fights affect the execution of the mission?"
Qin Zongwu and Lu Yan stopped talking.
Su Genglin glanced at the two of them again, and finally said helplessly, "I don't want to get involved in your private affairs, but don't forget your responsibilities.
I have only one request now: resolve your personal issues as soon as possible. I'll give you a month. If you can't resolve them, I'll personally go find Comrade Ruan Zhao and ask her to resolve them!"
Lu Yan and Qin Zongwu: "..."

After coming out of the office, Lu Yan said directly to Qin Zongwu, "Brigade Commander Qin, let's find a place to talk."
Qin Zongwu did not refuse, "Okay."
After saying that, Lu Yan took the lead and walked towards the training ground not far away.
The two of them stopped only when they reached a deserted spot outside the archive room.
Lu Yan turned to look at Qin Zongwu, his expression serious. "Commander Qin, I believe relationships should be consensual, but Ruan Zhao doesn't like you. If you keep pestering her, it will only cause her a lot of annoyance."
Qin Zongwu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Master Lu, shouldn't the purpose of your visit to me be for an important mission in the future?"
Lu Yan frowned and wanted to say something else, but then he heard Qin Zongwu continue. "Whether she likes me or not is her business, and whether I pester her or not is my private business.
Commander Lu just needs to ensure that his personal life doesn't interfere with the execution of the mission. As for the rest, Commander Lu shouldn't have the right to interfere!"
Lu Yan was so angry that he laughed. "I can choose not to interfere in your private affairs, but I hope that Brigadier General Qin will not use public resources to interfere with my and Ruan Zhao's private affairs in the future."
Qin Zongwu turned his head and met Lu Yan's gaze. After a long pause, he said coldly, "Within a month, her private affairs will have nothing to do with you."
After he finished speaking, Qin Zongwu left.

In the hospital
After Ruan Zhao came back, she went straight to the Chinese medicine pharmacy. Zheng Huichun asked curiously when she saw her come back. "Didn't you take a leave? Why are you back again?"
Ruan Zhao casually explained, "I've finished my work, and since it's okay, I came back."
Zheng Huichun nodded and pointed to the two gift boxes on the medicine cabinet. "Here, they're from Dr. Su."
Ruan Zhao paused, and after seeing the two boxes of chocolates next to him, he felt helpless.
Alas! Although it is a good thing to have someone chasing you, it is troublesome when there are several people chasing you at once.
Ruan Zhao picked up a box of chocolates and took a look at it, thinking that it would be great if everyone could be like Wu Rui and not bother about it after being rejected.
Seeing her unhappy mood, Zheng Huichun couldn't help but say, "Alas, sometimes being too good can be a problem. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the choices."
Ruan Zhao understood what Zheng Huichun meant and quickly retorted, "Master, I wasn't overwhelmed by the choices. I only picked one from the beginning to the end."
Zheng Huichun asked curiously, "Who did you pick?"
"I..." Ruan Zhao was about to say something, but suddenly thought of something and swallowed it back. "Anyway, except for him, I rejected everyone else."
Zheng Huichun saw Ruan Zhao's distressed expression and understood. "Alas! This young man is full of vigor and vitality. It's normal for him to be unwilling to give up on the girl he likes.
You can try to explain it to them clearly so that both of you don’t get upset.”
"Yeah." Ruan Zhao nodded, then suddenly thought of something and picked up the chocolate on the table and said, "Master, I'll be out for a moment."

Outside the inpatient building
Su Yinghui ran out in a white coat. When he saw Ruan Zhao standing outside, he walked straight towards her.
"Ruan Zhao?"
Su Yinghui called out to Ruan Zhao, and his eyes paused when he caught a glimpse of the chocolate box in her hand.
Ruan Zhao saw Su Yinghui and handed the gift to him. "Dr. Su, thank you for your gift, but I can't accept it."
Seeing her serious expression, Su Yinghui couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Are you and Commander Lu... together?"
Ruan Zhao did not deny it. Su Yinghui glanced at the box in her hand, his eyes full of hurt.
After a moment of silence, he suppressed his discomfort and said with a smile, "I understand. If you don't mind, these two boxes of chocolates are a farewell gift from a friend."
Ruan Zhao frowned, realizing the implication in his words, and then listened to Su Yinghui continue. "The hospital needs to select a few people to serve as external aid. It might take a long time. I've already signed up and will be leaving in two days."
Ruan Zhao's expression shifted. He realized he was lying, but he didn't expose him. "Okay, I'll take it."
She took the chocolate back and pulled out a peace charm from her storage ring. She folded it into a triangle and handed it to him. "This is a return gift, Doctor Su. Have a safe journey."
Su Yinghui took the amulet, exchanged a final look with Ruan Zhao, then nodded and turned to walk into the building.
