Chapter Fifty-Five: Gender

  The army was shocked, turned his face to him, and found that he was confused, so how could he apologize so quickly? He didn't understand him in his heart, but when he thought about it again, did she ever understand him either?!

  The naval officer noticed the army's current expression, revealing a few points of confusion, with some puzzlement on his face. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know that his own expression should be very similar. He also didn't know what else to say, so he just kept staring at her, watching as the red spots on her face continued to increase, and suddenly discovered that it was also a very interesting thing.

  The army was stared at by that scorching gaze, feeling very uncomfortable, awkwardly turning his face away, giving him a back-of-the-head look. He wondered to himself, how could this person be like this? Didn't he know it's impolite to stare at someone like that? Or did he really have some thoughts in mind? Thinking of this possibility, the army felt a bit unclear about his own feelings, so he didn't dare turn back even more. Just then, she felt the itchiness on her face getting stronger and stronger, so she lifted up the hand without the IV drip and gently scratched it.

  "Don't you dare." The navy's speed was astonishing as he grabbed her hand, and then received a big white eye from the army.

  "Hey, don't grab my hand so hard, it hurts!" Lu Jun complained in a bad tone, the pain in his hand was clearly more than the itch on his face. After finishing speaking, he saw Hai Jun still hadn't let go, "Hai Jun Battalion Commander, have you realized that what you're grabbing isn't an animal's paw or your usual training sandbag? That's my hand, it really can't withstand your great strength."

  While speaking, her face was filled with grievances. She had never seen such a rude man before. She said that there were many soldiers in her family, but they were all very gentle, especially to her. Didn't he realize that their genders were different?

  "Colonel, do you know my gender?" Zhang asked with a sudden opening of his mouth.

  The navy, although withdrew his own strength, in order not to let her scratch his face, still held her hand and replied casually: "Of course I know, do you think I'm an idiot?"

  "Then can you say it?" the army asked persistently.

  The naval officer touched her forehead with his hand, "Not hot, how did you become stupid?"

  "Answer me quickly, this is important!" Lu Jun's anxiety grew, she thought her feminine features were obvious and wouldn't cause any confusion.

  The naval officer furrowed his brow, what's the big deal here, unless she did it on purpose. Does this problem also require dialectical thinking in philosophy? Otherwise, why would she be so anxious? "Not a man."

  Upon hearing the answer, Lu Jun's mouth twitched slightly. If it wasn't a man, could she understand it as a woman? But where would that trans person be placed?!

  "Battalion commander, what is your gender? Male or female?" To reduce ambiguity, the army directly provides multiple-choice options.

  "I am a genuine, pure man." The navy didn't like this question. Since he was born, no one had ever asked him about his gender. He paused there, and not a single person would say that he is a woman!

  "So I'm either a man or a woman, and you're a man, our genders are different, please remember this fact from now on, I really can't withstand your strength." Lu Jun said very seriously, without a hint of joking on his face, and even shook the hand he was holding, indicating that he should let go, she didn't want to have just recovered from her injury, only to get another one, that would be too much!

  "I've always known that, never got it mixed up." The Navy replied even more cautiously, this question he understood better than anyone.

  "Hehe." Dr. Li Jun walked in with a smile at their door, "Little girl, just speak up straight, he's an old man and won't understand."

  Li Jun originally didn't want to come, but thinking about it again made him uneasy, so he still came. He didn't expect that as soon as he reached the door, he would hear a conversation between two people and involuntarily stopped there.

  "Navy, I'm telling you, what the girl means is to let go, stop pulling her hand, her hand hurts."

  The navy immediately let go of her hand and saw a red mark on her hand under the light.

  "Navy, it's not that I'm saying you're a big man, but don't grab people's daughters' hands for no reason. Your strength is also inaccurate, do you think this is grabbing a gun? Which girl can withstand it? Look at her hand, it's all red." Dr. Li scolded him when he got the chance.

  The army didn't think the doctor was so fierce, not only did she scold the black-faced ghost, but also knew her own thoughts, it turned out that women still understand women, and suddenly she had a sense of belonging to an organization.

  "Little girl, I need to tell you something. I know your skin is very itchy right now, but absolutely do not scratch with your hands, or else it will leave scars." Dr. Li turned his attention back to Lu Jun and examined him carefully.

  The army was a bit unbearable, but still thanked: "I know. Thank you, doctor."

  "It's okay, just be more careful next time and don't eat things you're allergic to again." She thought the little girl was being too greedy.

  "I understand." The army had some minor opinions, but didn't dare say them out loud. Even the Black-Faced Ghost wouldn't dare be presumptuous, so she'd better just stay quiet.

  "Sister-in-law, we know." The navy felt that the air was a bit oppressive and it would be better to hurry her away.

  "I haven't said anything yet!" Li Jun couldn't help but chuckle, these two were really entertaining. "Alright, I wanted to tell you, bring her back for a follow-up tomorrow afternoon, and don't forget to apply the medicine, or she'll be disfigured by then, and you'll have something to cry about." With that, he left without lingering, walking away with a swagger.

  The army looked at the white figure leaving, suddenly feeling a little envious. She seemed to have never been so carefree before. One day she would try it too, but she didn't know that in the future, she really had a carefree time, only then she was filled with mixed emotions.

  Digression

  The weather has changed, I hope Jun's cold doesn't get any worse!
