A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

"Political Commissar Lu! Sister Zhou! We...we've come to express our gratitude!"

In front of the Lu family's gate, Dean Liu and attending physician Zhang Yuan, carrying fruit and canned goods, had expressions of extreme excitement and a hint of shame on their faces.

Zhang Yuan, in particular, blushed deeply as he looked at Zhou Yayun opening the door.

"Sister Zhou, I'm so sorry! We were blind to your greatness before! We were too arrogant!"

He was about to bow to Zhou Yayun.

"Hey! Dr. Zhang! What are you doing! Get up! Get up!"

Zhou Yayun quickly helped him up.

"Vice Commander Chen's recovery is all thanks to the tireless efforts of your medical staff, working day and night. How could we possibly take credit for it!"

Although she said that, Zhou Yayun was incredibly proud inside.

Her daughter has created a miracle once again!

"No!" Dean Liu also spoke up solemnly, "Sister Zhou, please don't be modest. This time, if it weren't for Nianci's 'notebook,' we... we could have worked ourselves to death, but we still wouldn't have been able to save Deputy Commander Chen!"

"It can be said that Nianci saved Deputy Commander Chen's life! It was also Nianci who saved the reputation of our entire military region's general hospital!"

Dean Liu's words were sincere and heartfelt.

Even now, when he thinks back on it, he still feels a lingering fear.

If he had stubbornly refused to believe the "dream-seeking" remedy back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Where's Nianci? Where's the little hero? We need to thank her in person!" Zhang Yuan peered out, anxiously searching the house.

"He's...he's reading inside."

Zhou Yayun ushered them into the house.

In the living room, Lu Nianci was curled up on the sofa like a kitten, engrossed in reading a thick book.

It was as if the "miracle of saving lives" that was so sensational that it shook the entire military region had nothing to do with her.

"Nianci!"

Dean Liu and Zhang Yuan quickly walked over and squatted down in front of her.

"Nianci, thank you! Really, thank you so much!"

Dean Liu held her small hand, too excited to say anything.

"Grandpa Liu, Uncle Zhang, you don't need to thank me." Lu Nianci put down her book, blinked her clear eyes, and said, "You saved Grandpa Chen. I didn't do anything."

Her well-behaved and sensible demeanor made Dean Liu and Zhang Yuan feel even more fond of and respectful.

"No, you've done more than any of us combined!" Zhang Yuan said earnestly. "You taught us the most essential yet most easily forgotten quality a doctor should possess—never give up hope, and never be bound by preconceived notions!"

"Nianci," Dean Liu said solemnly, looking at her, "to thank you, I... on behalf of the hospital, would like to give you a special gift."

"A gift?" Lu Nianci looked at him curiously.

"Yes!" Dean Liu nodded. "I know you like reading. Our military general hospital has a library with thousands of medical books, many of which are rare original editions brought back from abroad."

Upon hearing the words "original book," Lu Nianci's eyes lit up instantly!

That was a treasure more precious than gold to her!

"I've made a decision," Dean Liu announced with a smile, looking into her eager eyes, "From today onwards, the library of the Military Region General Hospital will be completely open to you—Lu Nianci!"

"Go whenever you want! Read whatever book you want! There are no restrictions!"

"Furthermore, I'll give you a special 'library card,' so you can take any book you're interested in home to read!"

This promise is as heavy as Mount Tai!

It's important to know that the hospital library is an absolute "forbidden zone." Not only outsiders, but even ordinary doctors from the hospital are not allowed to enter or leave at will, let alone borrow those precious original books.

Dean Liu's decision is tantamount to opening the door of the hospital's most core knowledge base to a five-year-old child without reservation!

This is the greatest reward for the life-saving grace she received!

This is also the highest recognition of her extraordinary talent!

"Really?!" Lu Nianci's face turned red with excitement.

She can go read those medical books now!

She can now pick up the major she loved most in her past life again!

She could even use these books to find clues that might be hidden behind her rebirth and her father's death!

"Of course it's true!" Dean Liu patted her head affectionately. "I'll personally bring you the library card tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu!"

Lu Nianci called out sweetly from the bottom of her heart.

This "thank you" was more sincere than ever before.

This gift held special significance for her.

It opened a door for her, leading to both the past and the future...

Following her title of "Little Consultant," Lu Nianci, the "Little Hero," has acquired a new, unofficial title—the hospital's "Little VIP."

This news, once again, seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout the entire military compound.

"Have you heard? That girl from the Lu family has done another great service!"

"It's more than just a great achievement! I heard that it was one sentence from her that saved Deputy Commander Chen's life!"

"My goodness! Is this child some kind of angel descended from heaven? Growing vegetables, raising chickens, taking exams, and now she can even heal the sick and save lives? Is there anything she can't do?"

"Commissar Lu's family is incredibly lucky! First, they had a heroic son like Lu Xingzhou, and now they've gained such a wonderful daughter! Everyone is so envious!"

In no time, the discussions about Lu Nianci in the compound had completely transformed from initial surprise and envy into... awe and worship.

However, the more intense the sunlight, the deeper the shadows.

When everyone showered Lu Nianci with praise and glory.

In another corner of the military compound, an undercurrent of jealousy and resentment was quietly brewing.

A storm is brewing, targeting Lu Nianci and the entire Lu family.
