94: I was lying at home when trouble came out of nowhere.

"If there are no idle matters hanging on the mind, then it is a good season in the human world."

Lu Fan lay lazily in the hammock at the door, enjoying the best time of the year in the Shanghai.

Unknowingly, a week had passed just like that.

This week could only be described as pleasant; everything was proceeding step by step.

Sheng Aiyi had already sold 70% of the supplies he brought from the modern era.

While reaping a profit of 500,000 silver dollars, she had also completely established the reputation of the Yifan International Trading Company.

She was coming over now to ask about the arrival time of the next batch of goods.

Chen Liting's factories were all up and running, with production capacity pushed to the max.

Additionally, recruitment was incredibly popular; 5,000 employees had already been hired, and the first batch of 2,000 people had set off for the New Port Industrial Zone.

After the experience of recruitment, Zhao Chengqiang was already able to handle things on his own.

Now he was working full-time collecting books in the Zhabei shantytown; relying on his connections in the shantytown, he was doing quite a good job.

Ah Fu had already been moved out of the intensive care unit.

Due to taking the potions provided by the system, his recovery speed was quite remarkable; it was estimated he could be discharged in another two weeks.

The system hadn't given any prompts yet, so it seemed his stay in this world had been extended by default.

Thinking carefully, this was a good thing; by staying longer in this world, he could prepare more thoroughly for the Battle of Shanghai.

Without the disturbance of troublesome matters, everything was going smoothly.

The only slightly annoying thing now was the surgical teaching every two days.

He, a layman, was teaching professionals—and in a highly specialized field like medicine at that. Who would believe it if word got out?

Fortunately, he had his secret tricks; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to keep those top students in check.

"Lu Fan! Lu Fan!"

The sound of footsteps rang out as Tang Li rushed into the small courtyard in a flurry, her face filled with urgency and excitement.

She rushed to the hammock in a few steps, propped her hands on it, and panted heavily.

"Lu Fan~~ I heard you and Doctor Reister are running a surgical training class? Specifically for training field doctors?"

Lu Fan closed his eyes and directly pretended to be asleep.

After several interactions, he remembered Tang Li's quirkiness all too well.

"Brother Fan~~~ Brother Fan, why are you pretending to sleep! I've come to find you for something important."

Tang Li shook the hammock while acting spoiled in a soft, sweet voice.

Lu Fan was shaken until he felt dizzy and replied irritably, "Eldest Miss, what is it this time? What happened now?"

"I knew you were faking it." A smile hung on the corner of Tang Li's mouth as she took the opportunity to state her request: "A good bestie of mine wants to join your training class.

It's the one you met in Zhabei that day. She graduated from the nursing department of a health school, has a good foundation, and really wants to learn this.

She found out you were teaching and begged me to come and ask you for a spot.

Give me some face, will you?"

Lu Fan opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Tang Li.

Those large, doll-like eyes were blinking; without a doubt, this girl must have already given her word.

He sighed and said, "Tell her to go to Reister Hospital later and find Nurse Margaret to register.

Just say I agreed, but this is the last time."

"I knew you'd agree. Brother Fan, you're the best." Tang Li propped her chin with her delicate hand, her face showing seventy percent certainty and thirty percent pride.

Then she changed the subject, leaning her body forward continuously until she was almost pressed against Lu Fan.

She leaned into Lu Fan's ear and asked weakly, "Then... what about me? I want to learn too."

Lu Fan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and refused directly: "Are you making some kind of international joke? You're a reporter with zero medical foundation.

This is surgery, not writing a report. It requires systematic study and a lot of practice; it's not something you can master quickly just by relying on passion.

You don't even understand basic anatomy, physiology, or disinfection standards. Going in would just be a waste of time and might even interfere with others."

Lu Fan had self-awareness; even if she dared to learn, he wouldn't dare to teach.

"I can learn!" Tang Li got anxious and lay directly on Lu Fan, grabbing his arm and shaking it gently.

"I learn things very quickly. Teach me, Brother Fan, I'm begging you!

Look at how tense the situation is now; doctors are much more useful than reporters.

I promise to study hard and never be lazy!"

Tang Li stopped pretending and went directly into spoiled mode.

Their bodies were in close contact, and the unique scent of a young woman rushed into Lu Fan's nose.

Lu Fan was made a bit uncomfortable by her sudden physical contact and tried to pull his arm back: "Tang Li, let go.

This isn't child's play. Reporters have their battlefields, and doctors have their duties. You..."

"I won't!" Instead, Tang Li gripped even tighter.

Her whole person was almost leaning on Lu Fan as she looked up with a stubborn yet pleading gaze. "Just agree!

Look, even my bestie can go, so I can too.

I promise to learn from the beginning; I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Her cheeks were flushed from urgency, and her body was pressed tight against Lu Fan's arm, her warmth transferring through the thin summer clothes.

Though her figure was petite, intoxicating beauty never depends on scale.

Lu Fan was getting a bit lightheaded from the contact.

He forcefully broke free from her pulling, jumped off the hammock, and stepped back to create distance.

But Tang Li followed him like a piece of sticky candy, tightly hugging Lu Fan's arm.

He had truly experienced this girl's persistence.

"baka yaro~~ Let go of Tang Li!"

A shout full of jealousy and fury broke the silence of the courtyard like a thunderclap.

"You bastard, take your dirty hands off her."

A japanese man rushed over with a swaggering gait, his face ashen and eyes spitting fire.

"Abe Fujita, what madness has gotten into you!"

Tang Li spoke first, glaring at the rushing Abe Fujita. "This is a private residence, please leave."

"Tang Li, he's taking advantage of you." Abe Fujita rushed to them, his chest heaving violently as he pointed at Lu Fan in righteous indignation.

Seeing this, Tang Li's face reddened slightly, and she said somewhat reproachfully, "What 'taking advantage'? What nonsense are you talking about!"

As she spoke, she didn't give him a single good look, her large eyes radiating coldness.

However, Abe Fujita didn't care about Tang Li's reaction.

He stared fixedly at Lu Fan and continued to lash out: "To harass a woman in broad daylight, you have quite the nerve!

Don't think that just because you live in Xiafei Manor, no one can touch you."

Lu Fan was completely bewildered.

He was just lying in his own yard enjoying a pleasant time, had done nothing, and yet trouble had fallen from the sky.

Is there no law? Is there no justice?

Just as he was about to confront this hypocritical japanese man, Tang Li took the lead and attacked first.

"Abe Fujita, stop your slanderous accusations!

On the contrary, you're like a piece of plaster that can't be shaken off, pestering me every day!

I'm telling you, I don't like you! I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future!

My business is none of your concern, and who I'm with is even less of your business."

As her words fell, Tang Li turned around, hooked her arms around Lu Fan's neck, and directly kissed him to demonstrate their intimate relationship.

The unexpected meeting of lips left Lu Fan completely stunned; after this intimate contact, it would be hard for him to avoid taking the blame even if he wanted to.
