Under Shui Shui's careful care, Li Yichen's body gradually recovered. His face was no longer pale, but now healthy, rosy and shiny. His little appearance showed that he was nourished by love.

Li Yichen himself also has his own sweet "troubles". Shui Shui "makes" delicious food for him in different ways every day, which makes Li Yichen feel that he has gained weight on his stomach.

Li Yichen couldn't sleep last night. After this injury, he clearly felt that he wasn't recovering as quickly as before. In the past, gunshot wounds could be discharged in ten days at most, or even two weeks. Now, it's been fifteen or sixteen days, and when he straightened up and coughed hard, the wound still hurt.

He began to reflect on his physical condition. Perhaps it was due to aging, which had reduced his body's ability to recover. Or perhaps it was because the injury was so sensitive that it would take longer to heal. Whatever the reason, he had to accept the fact that his body was no longer as strong as it once was, and he needed more time and care to recover.

He looked out the window. The night was deep, and the moonlight was like water pouring down upon the earth. Retirement, a word that had never appeared in his vocabulary, was now the first word on the first page.

He thought of Shui Shui, his girl, her smile, her gentleness, her cooking skills, all of which made him feel extremely happy and satisfied. He knew that this happiness was something he had never experienced before, and it was something he cherished with his life.

The next day, Li Yichen decided to talk to a doctor about his physical condition. He knew that only by understanding his physical condition could he take better care of himself and better protect his family.

When he arrived at the office, Li Yichen directly explained his purpose. The doctor told him that his recovery speed was indeed slower than before, but it was not a big problem. He just needed to rest more, pay attention to diet and exercise, and he would gradually return to his previous state.

After hearing the doctor's words, Li Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he still had a long way to go, and he couldn't let his body become an obstacle to his military service. If his function really declined, he would immediately file for retirement. Since there were no problems, he would slowly resume training and get himself back to his peak form sooner rather than later.

So he began to work harder to recover, eating and resting on time every day, and started doing some simple exercises.

Shui Shui was also very happy to see his changes. She knew that Li Yichen was a responsible person and that he would definitely become stronger for her. So, she also worked harder to take care of him, making him delicious food in different ways every day and exercising with him.

As time went by, Li Yichen gradually recovered. The night before returning to the army, Shui Shui and Li Yichen slept on the same bed in the ward. Li Yichen hugged Shui Shui and told her interesting stories about the army.

Shui Shui smiled happily, she leaned lightly on Li Yichen's chest, feeling his heartbeat.

Li Yichen lowered his head and kissed Shui Shui's forehead, "When I come back next time, we'll get married."

Shui Shui's face flushed immediately, "Okay."

Li Yichen smiled. He hugged Shui Shui tightly, as if embracing the whole world.

The next morning, Li Yichen walked out of the hospital in high spirits, wearing a military uniform.

He looked back at the hospital gate, his heart filled with emotion.

Shui Shui sent him to the train station, and looked at Li Yichen's departing back, feeling reluctant to let him go.

"Be sure to come back safely." Shui Shui said softly.

Li Yichen turned around, waved to Shui Shui, and then walked towards the ticket gate with firm steps.
