Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401 You Are a Bastard

Luo Ziling returned to the hotel to find Lin Lan asleep again.

During the recovery period after an injury, most people tend to feel very sleepy and sleep much more than usual.

This is the body’s need for recovery and a natural response to being injured.

However, Lin Lan’s vigilance had recovered quite a bit. When Luo Ziling gently opened the door and entered, she was jolted awake.

“Time to get up for dinner,” Luo Ziling, holding a food container, sat beside the bed and said cheerfully, “I brought you lots of delicious things.”

Lin Lan smiled playfully, propped herself up with Luo Ziling’s help, casually tidied the hair on her forehead, then said coyly, “Feed me.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling agreed, placed a pillow behind her, then took a serious look at Lin Lan’s blushing face and teased, “You’re becoming more and more feminine. Seems like this young master’s skill in transforming people isn’t too bad, turning a tomboy into someone gentle.”

“What nonsense are you talking about,” Lin Lan spat, and said resentfully, “Look what you’ve done to me.”

“I haven’t harmed you,” Luo Ziling claimed innocently, “Aren’t I making you more feminine? Plus, you seem to have become fuller, and your complexion looks better too. Hey, don’t pinch me. If you pinch me again, I’ll pinch you back.”

As Luo Ziling spoke, he had already begun to counterattack, and Lin Lan’s cries followed suit.

“Alright, let’s have dinner first,” seeing Lin Lan slumped against him, Luo Ziling quickly steadied her.

When he had just entered, he kept warning himself not to seduce Lin Lan or be seduced by her, as it wouldn’t be good for her recovery.

Now is the time for Lin Lan to conserve her energy. Engaging in intimate relations would definitely drain her vitality and be detrimental to her recovery, possibly even causing lingering effects. However, both of them were young and had just tasted the delight of romantic affection, so just a tiny spark could set a prairie fire.

Perhaps now his self-control was stronger than Lin Lan’s, so he didn’t take advantage of the situation further, but immediately calmed himself down instead.

Before feeding Lin Lan dinner, Luo Ziling took her pulse again.

“How is it? All better?” After Luo Ziling finished taking her pulse, Lin Lan asked in a low voice.

The Lin Lan now is completely different from before.

Even after having the most intimate relationship with Luo Ziling, she used to remain serious and not frivolous with him, let alone tease him playfully. But looking at Lin Lan now, with her utterly shy demeanor and cheeks brimming with allure, who would suspect that she had always been an utterly cold woman?

Even Luo Ziling found it hard to believe that Lin Lan would turn into this coquettish and adorable appearance.

Seeing Lin Lan like this, behaving like a woman passionately in love, and smelling the feminine scent emanating from her, as well as the seduction in her every move, Luo Ziling found it a bit difficult to control himself.

In the end, he excused himself to the restroom and hurried out of the room.

“You rest for a bit, I can eat by myself,” Lin Lan also felt the uncontrollable emotions between them, knowing that any closer intimacy would surely lead to an accident.

Now, she was willing to let Luo Ziling do anything to her, and she also knew that she should not overexert herself due to her injuries, so she made this clear after Luo Ziling had fled.

Luo Ziling agreed reflexively, stayed in the bathroom for a while to allow his body’s reactions to completely subside, then spent some time in the living room outside. Only after Lin Lan had on her own finished all the food he brought did he go inside to clean up.

After cleaning up, Lin Lan was getting ready to go to the restroom.

Luo Ziling helped her up and accompanied her to the bathroom door.

This time, Lin Lan did not allow him to follow her in; she entered the bathroom on her own and locked the door.

She stayed inside for about twenty minutes before coming out.

After coming out, she asked Luo Ziling solemnly, “What treatment do I need next?”

Luo Ziling originally wanted to tease Lin Lan, but after some thought, he ended up telling the truth: “I will give you another treatment later to see how things go. If your pulse fully returns to normal, it means that the poison has been completely expelled and you can recover completely without further treatment. If the pulse is still chaotic, that means some poison remains, and you will need to take more medicine and receive treatment. However, your condition is much better than I expected. I just checked your pulse and didn’t find anything unusual.”

“Then… I should go back to the base to recuperate, or go to our sanatorium,” said Lin Lan, her eyelids drooping, “I feel that’s better, to avoid any misunderstandings.”

“Do you still want to stay with Dragon Rise?”

“Of course,” Lin Lan replied without hesitation, “Dragon Rise is my home, at least for now I don’t want to leave there.”

“In that case, you should go back there to recuperate,” Luo Ziling understood Lin Lan’s thoughts, fearing that she would be persuaded to retire from the team after this injury.

Luo Ziling believed that Phoenix must have discussed this with Lin Lan, and even that woman may have said some things she didn’t want him to know. In other words, the higher-ups at Dragon Rise were inclined to let Lin Lan retire.

This is not to say that they think Lin Lan can no longer fulfill the missions of Dragon Rise, but rather they desire to do her a kindness.

If Lin Lan herself wants to leave Dragon Rise, that’s fine; but if she wishes to stay, they should respect her wishes.

Luo Ziling could understand Lin Lan’s longing for Dragon Rise, as it was her “home,” with countless comrades and siblings who had shared life and death with her.

Without Dragon Rise, Lin Lan would no longer be the Lin Lan she was before.

Even if Lin Lan were to leave, it was not the time yet.

“Then I’ll have them come pick me up tomorrow and take me back,” she said.

“That sounds good,” Luo Ziling smiled, “I will go with you tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your commander; I want to check on his recovery.”

“I also need to report back to the base. Come with me,” Lin Lan said, leaning her head on Luo Ziling’s chest and speaking softly, “Will you stay with me tonight?”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling said, pinching Lin Lan’s nose, “Whatever you say, since you’re the woman.”

“I am indeed a woman!”

“You weren’t before!”

Lin Lan smiled without saying anything else.

After a while, in front of Luo Ziling, Lin Lan made a phone call to Phoenix to explain the situation.

A little while later, Luo Ziling’s phone rang, with a call from Phoenix.

Phoenix asked about Lin Lan’s condition and his attitude towards the requests she had made.

Luo Ziling answered truthfully as well.

“Well then, tomorrow morning, I’ll send someone to pick her up. After she’s settled in, you can come with me to see Ouyang Feifei, is that okay?”

“It’s rare to hear Phoenix Queen speak to me with such a tone, how can I say no?”

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling’s words were met with a fierce retort from Phoenix: “You’re a bastard!”

“……”
