Relying on one's own hair

It was almost dark after Qiao Ran woke up, and Camilla brought him a sick meal from the canteen of the nursing home.Qiao Ran thanked him. He never thought that one day he would be able to eat meals in the nursing home. The dishes in it were delivered by him in the morning.

By the way, it's almost seven o'clock. Usually, he and Valentine would have finished their meal at this time. If he didn't go back to cook today, that guy must be unhappy again.

Qiao Ran picked up the phone and was about to call Fan Lundin, but just as he dialed it, he realized that it was unnecessary, and quickly pressed it again.

Dick said that the guy came to see him in the morning, so he should know that he was injured and needed to stay in the hospital for two days, so there was no need to call to tell him.

As Fan Lundin, she actually came to visit her in a nursing home. Qiao Ran said it was a lie that she was not moved, but there was always a lump in her heart. It was not fatal, but just a little uncomfortable.

Just about to put down the phone, a message came in with a beep.

【Amao's father: What's wrong? 】

Qiao Ran hurriedly replied: 【It's nothing, I made the wrong number! 】

1 minutes passed.

【Amao's dad: Take a good rest. 】

[Qiao Ran: Got it. 】

Then the phone fell silent, and Qiao Ran stared at the two short messages in a daze, his mind a little confused.

He felt that he should be angry, but he couldn't get angry for some reason.My heart is sour and astringent, I don't know what it feels like.

Camilla helped him set up the small dining table on the hospital bed and said, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold."

"Okay." Qiao Ran regained consciousness, picked up the spoon and started to drink the soup.

Camilla asked from the side: "Joe, are you still single?"

"Yes."

Camilla's eyes lit up, "I have a school girl who is about your age, and now works as a nurse in a dental clinic in the city. She is good-looking, generous and gentle, and excellent at work. She should be quite suitable for you. Do you want my sister to introduce you?"

Qiao Ran is a little helpless, why many people seem to be concerned about his personal problems recently, but he is only 23 years old, he is not very old, and now he seems to have no interest in such things at all, so he can only politely refuse : "Thank you, but I'm an orphan, and I've only worked for a year, so I don't have the conditions to think about it now. I want to work hard first, and then I'll talk about it when I have a foundation."

When Camilla heard about his situation, she didn't dare to introduce it rashly to her junior, so she jokingly said: "There are not many real men like you nowadays, and it's good to be ambitious, but unfortunately I'm ten years older than you. Get married, or else you'll make a promise with yourself."

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing.

Just after finishing the meal and clearing the table, a group of people rushed in. They turned out to be Qiao Ran's favorite colleagues, including Anna, Thomas, Juster, etc., and Camilla went out with the dinner plate.

Anna was holding a large bunch of things in her hand, wrapped in a layer of colorful wrapping paper. At first glance, the colorful things inside were all kinds of flowers, but after a closer look, she found that they were all vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, sweet peas, and cabbage. It's pretty nice together.

After Anna entered the door, she put a bundle of vegetables on Qiao Ran's bedside, and said solemnly, "Joe, I wish you a speedy recovery—don't be disgusted, everyone picked this for you!"

Qiao Ran said, "Thank you, how could it be, these are my favorite dishes."

Everyone laughed together.

Qiao Ran then asked, "How do you know I'm here and come to see me together?"

Thomas said contemptuously: "I heard it when Buck answered the phone in the morning. You were injured in order to save people. That cold-blooded guy didn't intend to care about you at all, so he hung up the phone in a few words. Later, I said to others, Everyone unanimously decided to see you after work."

Qiao Ran was touched and said, "Thank you everyone."

Just looked at the various high-end medical facilities in the ward, and exclaimed, "Joe, your treatment is good. It's still a single room. Most people can't live in it no matter how much they spend. The nursing home is really nice to you."

The rest of the people also talked in a hurry.

"The gates of the nursing home are not accessible to ordinary people. Just now the guard heard that we came to see you, and checked our identities one by one before letting us go."

"Yes, I heard that this kind of single ward is only eligible for officers above the school level."

"It's not a loss if you come in for a while with a little injury. Joe really made a profit this time."

"Hey, what are you talking about, let you meet a crazy sentry!"

"Forget it, my life is more important!"

After laughing for a while, Anna hesitated and said, "Joe, have you resigned? I saw it in the personnel department's documents this morning."

After she said this, everyone fell silent and looked at Qiao Ran worriedly.Everyone knows that Qiao Ran has a good temper and is serious and down-to-earth in her work, so there must be something hidden behind her sudden resignation.

Qiao Ran said in a relaxed tone: "Well, I quarreled with the boss yesterday, and I resigned as soon as my brain got hot. Don't worry, everyone, I'm already submitting my resume, and it shouldn't be long before I can find a new job. will tell you.

Thomas, I had to work for three days to hand over shifts, but now that I am injured, I am afraid that Buck will assign my work to you. You will have to work hard these few days. "

Thomas waved his hand and said, "What's the relationship between us? If you say that, you're out of touch. The most hateful thing is Buck. Our department is short of manpower. We should have recruited two more people long ago. That guy just didn't recruit and used people as machines." ! If he still forces us to work overtime frequently, I won’t do it anymore, and I’ll be fired!”

Qiao Ran knew that Thomas had been grudges for a long time, so she didn't try to persuade him after hearing what he said, but just nodded silently.

Camilla came in with two bags of medicine, and said politely, "Joe needs to rest more now, you can come to see him another day."

Qiao Ran hurriedly said: "No need, you're all so busy, I'm fine, and I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days."

The colleagues agreed, and then said goodbye and left.

Camilla changed Qiao Ran's potion, which contained ingredients to nourish the brain and soothe the nerves. After a while, Qiao Ran became sleepy and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, the B-rank Sentinel Bennett, who had gone mad and was subdued by Qiao Ran, came. Today he looked much more normal than yesterday. He was tall and strong, and he looked upright, but his condition had not yet fully recovered.His mental body was also limply wrapped around his shoulders, as if wearing a weird scarf. After seeing Joe, he cheered up a little and raised his head.

After Bennet entered the ward, he apologized and thanked Qiao Ran, saying that if he hadn't met Qiao Ran, he would either have committed a felony for killing Camilla, or he would have been shot dead by the guards of the sanitarium. One consequence is that he is screwed.

Looking back on yesterday's situation, Qiao Ran was also afraid for a while, and she was also almost finished.

Bennett then asked, "Joe, you don't have a match yet, do you?"

Qiao Ran raised his forehead and doubled up again. He is not a sweetheart, so why are so many people thinking about it?

What's more, he didn't know this sentry at all before yesterday, so it's okay to say that they don't match well.

He put down his hand, and simply said: "No, but I'm sorry, I should not match you."

Bennett didn't expect him to be so direct, and muttered annoyedly: "I'm a B-rank sentry, with the rank of captain."

"Yeah, you're a B-rank or a captain, and you have a bright future, but I'm nothing." Qiao Ran laughed at himself, "I don't have a mental body. Bad, it was just a coincidence that I restrained your mania yesterday, and almost burned my brain out. The most important thing is, I prefer fluffy mental bodies, and I have a natural sense of rejection for other types."

Bennett was originally only on a whim because Qiao Ran restrained his mania at the critical moment. He didn't know what kind of person Qiao Ran was, but now he backed off immediately after hearing what he said.

However, it was a fact that Qiao Ran saved him, and he was very grateful, so he said solemnly: "Okay, but I still have to thank you. Let's add a contact information, and if you encounter any troubles in the future, it will be within my ability." Just tell me inside, don't be polite."

"Okay." Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the phone and added friends with Bennett.

After Bennett left, Qiao Ran felt a little drowsy, and just wanted to sleep for a while, when a young man in his early 20s entered the ward, with brown hair and green eyes, he was very beautiful, and there was a colorful bird of paradise on his shoulder. Appears to be an advanced wizard.

He remembered that Dick had mentioned that this senior guide seemed to be called Heyman, and he had run into trouble with Valentine.

After Heyman came in, he stared at Qiao Ran, then twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I thought it was nothing special, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."

Qiao Ran was not in good spirits, and couldn't get angry at this kind of unkind evaluation, so he just smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Hyman choked for a moment, then glared at him and said, "It's good that you have self-knowledge! But why did Your Excellency the major general come back to visit you?"

The bird of paradise on his shoulder shook its wings and stared at Qiao Ran with hostility.

Qiao Ran said, "I don't know either, why don't you ask him directly?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, he really just made a suggestion, but Hyman blushed with anger, and sneered, "I have no chance, let alone you, you don't even have a bird feather!"

Qiao Ran just felt baffled, "What chance? What do you want bird feathers for?"

Hyman's Bird of Paradise is pretty, but given the choice, he'd rather have a lamb spirit.

Heyman said angrily: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? A major general like you is only crazy enough to see it!"

Qiao Ran finally understood that Heyman was probably interested in Valentine, but Valentine might not be interested in him, but what did it have to do with him?

Seeing his innocent expression, Hyman really punched the cotton, feeling that he couldn't communicate with this person at all, so he had to lose the battle, and said "You really have a brain problem", then turned around and left up.

Qiao Ran thought, there is indeed something wrong with my brain now, otherwise I wouldn't be hospitalized.

He picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. It was almost eleven o'clock. He didn't know what Valentine was doing, whether he was running in the gym again...

Stop, why did I think of that guy again, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been accused by Heyman.

Forget it, let's sleep!

In the afternoon, another unexpected person came to visit Qiao Ran—the beautiful boss Andrew, who also gave him a real bouquet of flowers and a bag of high-end nutritional products.

Qiao Ran was really at a loss, this guy must have been pierced by someone's soul, otherwise how could he be so generous.

Andrew said with a sincere face: "Joe, I said those bullshit yesterday in a moment of confusion, don't take it to heart. You have worked hard and diligently in my heart for the past year, and I have seen it all Yes, it’s even more rare to be brave enough to save people this time, and you must be rewarded. No, I asked the finance department to expedite your reimbursement before I came, and you should have reached the 8000 points for buying lotus root flowers Your account is closed, and there are another [-] points, as the company's reward and condolences to you, if you don't believe me, check it out!"

Qiao Ran really couldn't believe it, so she took out her mobile phone and checked it in front of Andrew, and there was indeed an extra transfer of [-] yuan in the account.

"Well, I didn't lie to you." Andrew said with a smile on his face, "There is no need to mention the resignation. You should take a good rest for a few days and then go back to the company. I plan to let you be a freight forwarder in the second half of the year The small captain of the Ministry, in charge of a convoy."

Qiao Ran didn't care whether he was the captain or not, but Andrew's attitude changed too much, which made him suspicious.

Soul transmigration is unscientific, and it is impossible for Andrew to suddenly realize with conscience that most of the time he visited the nursing home and gave him free treatment and bonuses. Colonel Deng explained, so I made a 360-degree turn.

He didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Qiao Ran always felt that the job he had in his heart was not bad. Since Andrew was so "sincere" and he had won his own interests, there was no need for him to leave.

So after thinking about it, Qiao Ran said: "That's fine, I will go back to work in two days. But I would like to make a suggestion, our freight department is short of manpower, and it is hard for everyone to work overtime. Can you recruit one or two more people?" Personally, everyone has been fully rested, and the work efficiency will definitely be higher."

"Okay, no problem, I'll let the HR department arrange the recruitment later!" Andrew patted his thigh happily, "Then it's settled, you have a good rest, I'll go back to the company first."

All the problems were solved, and Qiao Ran was relieved. After Andrew left, he sent Thomas a message to tell him the general situation.

Thomas gave him a thumbs up and said, "Okay, bro, you did a great job! Andrew is finally a man this time, since you don't have to leave, I'll give him a chance to come back again without any trouble." Stay for a while."

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing.

It is now a quarter to four in the afternoon, and there are many messages of condolence from colleagues who are beautiful in their hearts, and Qiao Ran thanked them one by one.

And without contact for a whole day, a monotonous black silhouette has sunk to the bottom.

He hesitated for a long time while holding the phone, and finally locked the screen and put it next to the pillow, out of sight and out of mind.

Just as the doctor said, Qiao Ran has been out of energy for the past two days and has always felt sleepy. Except for meals and visits, she falls asleep most of the time.

In the afternoon of the third day, Qiao Ran's shoulder wound was basically healed, and the repair of the brain nerves was also good, so he could be discharged from the hospital.

The good people in the nursing home did their best and sent a guard to drive him back to the Rainbow Community.

Qiao Ran got out of the car with the bouquet of vegetables and flowers sent by her colleagues, and stood downstairs, feeling a little nervous.

It's fine if you didn't know the real identity of Fan Lundin before, but now that you know, besides the depression of being kept in the dark, there is also a little pressure.The background gap between himself and the other party was too great, and he didn't know how to face a dignified major general of the Federation, the distinguished commander of the L8765 Legion.

It has been a full 48 hours since those two brief messages the afternoon before yesterday. Qiao Ran has been avoiding contact with Van Lundin, and the other party has remained silent, which probably explains the problem.

Your Excellency Major General lived in the Rainbow Community incognito. Now that his identity is exposed in front of him as an ordinary person, the employment and lease relationship between the two of them should come to an end here.

In the future, I will no longer be able to earn extra money of 300 points a day, and I will no longer be able to live in an 888 room with a full set of new furniture for a month.He paid a month's rent, but he had only lived in it for a week, and he didn't know if Valentine would refund him the rest of the money.

It's not a big deal if he can't get a refund, anyway, he is not short of these few hundred yuan now, and what makes him saddest is that it is very likely that he will never be able to get Amao again.

Qiao Ran sighed melancholy, feeling heavy in her heart, and had the urge to turn around and go back to the nursing home to continue living, so that she wouldn't have to come back and face this bleak ending.

But his injury has basically healed, and he will not be taken in when he goes back to the nursing home, and it is impossible for him to sleep outside and hide from the sky bridge all the time, and he will always come back to face it.

Then get on it!Qiao Ran resolutely entered the unit building with the feeling of a strong man breaking his wrist.

Taking the elevator to the 19th floor, the corridor was empty and quiet after coming out. The lion didn't come out to greet him excitedly like every day, probably because he was restrained by his master.

Although she expected this to happen, Qiao Ran's heart was still getting heavier, and her nose felt a little sour.

No, this appearance is too embarrassing, and people will laugh at it mercilessly.

Qiao Ran sniffed, and waited for the uncomfortable feeling in her heart to pass before she walked to the door of Room 1919 and rang the doorbell.

The door almost opened in response to the sound, and Van Lundin stood behind the door, as if he had been waiting there, with his back straight, expressionless as always, like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years.The only thing that has changed is that the usual casual or sports attire has been replaced by a crisp white shirt and black trousers, which looks noble and handsome, as if he is about to go out to participate in some important occasion, or has just returned from an important occasion. Suddenly, he was dazed for a while, and his legs were inexplicably weak.

How could this happen, no, you must hold on!

The lion squatted at the sentinel's feet, with its head and neck raised, and its posture was also rare and upright. It didn't wag its tail at Qiao Ran with a silly face, showing the demeanor of the king of beasts, domineering and mighty.

After getting along for more than half a month, the master and pet who thought they were familiar suddenly changed their appearance, as if they had never known each other before, and the surrounding air seemed to be solidified and thick.

After a full ten seconds, Qiao Ran spoke with difficulty and unfamiliarity: "Mr. Hall—"

"Let me re-introduce, my name is Van Lundin Hall, super S-class sentinel, originally from C City, 29 years old, 191 in height, 11 years in the army, currently the commander of the Federation L8765 Legion, with the rank of major general."

During Qiao Ran's short pause, Fan Lundin suddenly took over the conversation and spoke word by word.
