Chen Xiaoru walked quickly to the door of the doctor's office, raised her hand and knocked three times. The crisp knocks echoed in the quiet corridor.

"Come in!" A steady voice came from inside the room.

Chen Xiaoru pushed the door open and walked in, her face filled with excitement that was hard to conceal, even her breathing was a little rapid: "Doctor, my husband is awake! Please go and see him!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor's previously calm face revealed a look of surprise. He almost immediately jumped up from his chair, grabbed the stethoscope on the table, and walked out, asking as he walked, "When did you wake up? How do you feel now?"

"I... I don't know either. When I saw he woke up, I immediately came to call you." Chen Xiaoru followed behind him, stuttering a little.

She felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about the scene of being caught just now.

But I really want to see how many abdominal muscles he has! The more I think about it, the faster my heart beats, and a faint blush appears on my face. Next time, I will wait until he falls asleep and then secretly take a look.

The doctor walked quickly into the ward, followed closely by Chen Xiaoru. Xiao Lang had already sat up on the bed. He looked a little weak and pale, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. Seeing Chen Xiaoru, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, like confusion and exploration.

"Captain Xiao, how do you feel?" The doctor walked to the bedside and began to examine Xiao Lang while asking.

"I... am fine. Except for the wound which still hurts a little." Xiao Lang's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Chen Xiaoru, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Chen Xiaoru was puzzled when she saw Xiao Lang always looking at her. Why did he keep looking at her? She knew that she had become beautiful now, but he didn't have to keep looking at her like this!

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" the doctor asked while examining you.

"No more." Xiao Lang answered, but his eyes still glanced at Chen Xiaoru from time to time.

After the doctor finished the examination, he said to Chen Xiaoru, "His condition is relatively stable now, but he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. You must take good care of him during this time and notify us immediately if there is any problem."

"Okay, doctor, thank you." Chen Xiaoru nodded repeatedly.

After the doctor left, the ward fell silent, the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Xiao Lang's gaze fell on Chen Xiaoru, with a look of scrutiny and doubt, before he finally broke the silence, "Who are you?"

"I am your lover, Chen Xiaoru." Chen Xiaoru looked at Xiao Lang and replied.

"Impossible, my wife is so fat, you..." Xiao Lang's eyes widened with disbelief. He blurted out the words, but stopped abruptly halfway through, as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"What's impossible? I just lost some weight while you were not in the army. How could you not recognize me?" Chen Xiaoru said indifferently.

Xiao Lang was stunned. He had never imagined that the woman before him, with her slender figure and beautiful face, would be the chubby Chen Xiaoru he remembered. This... this was simply unbelievable! He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Is Chen Xiaoru so beautiful after losing weight? His heart was beating rapidly. What should he do?

Xiao Lang's eyes were still wandering on her face, as if he wanted to confirm whether the person in front of him was an illusion. He hesitated and asked again, "Are you really Chen Xiaoru?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and there was still a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Chen Xiaoru felt like laughing when he looked at her. She simply folded her arms over her chest, stood beside the bed, and said with certainty, "It's genuine."

She paused, then added playfully, "You don't believe me? Why don't you call your soldiers to verify her identity right now? I guarantee the results will show it's definitely Captain Xiao's lover, Chen Xiaoru. Honest!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "lover" to see Xiao Lang's reaction.

"I haven't seen you for a month. You've changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you." Xiao Lang said with a hint of sincere surprise.

"That's normal. After all, Captain Xiao doesn't like me!"

Chen Xiaoru didn't take it seriously. Instead, she touched her stomach and turned to Xiao Lang, waving her hands in front of him. "I'm starving, Captain. Give me some money. I'll go get some food."

Xiao Lang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "No need to go. I've asked Liu Bing to go to the cafeteria to get some. He should be back soon."

As soon as the words fell, the ward fell silent.

Neither of them could find a new topic for a while, silence spread in the air, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Liu Bing pushed open the ward door and walked in, carrying two lunch boxes. "Commander, sister-in-law, the food is here."

Liu Bing's resounding voice broke the silence in the ward, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere. He placed his lunch box on the small table by the bed, smiled innocently at Chen Xiaoru, and called her "sister-in-law."

Chen Xiaoru responded with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao Liu."

Liu Bing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "You're too polite, sister-in-law. It's all my responsibility."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Lang again and said, "Captain, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."

Xiao Lang nodded, and Liu Bing turned and left the ward, closing the door behind him.

"Let me help you up and eat something!" Chen Xiaoru said, reaching out to help Xiao Lang.

"Okay." Xiao Lang responded and sat up with her strength.

Chen Xiaoru carefully helped him up and let him lean against the head of the bed. She then took a pillow and placed it behind him to make him more comfortable.

Then, she opened the lunch box, and a light aroma of porridge wafted out. She must have taken into consideration that Xiao Lang had just woken up and couldn't eat greasy food.

The other lunch box contained rice, braised pork and vegetables, which should have been prepared for her.

She picked up the lunch box containing porridge, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, blew it gently, and handed it to Xiao Lang's mouth: "Eat something light first, and I'll give you some more when you feel better."

Xiao Lang opened his mouth and ate it, but his eyes secretly glanced at her, with a hint of inquiry and a hint of tenderness that he himself did not even notice.

While eating, Xiao Lang couldn't help but secretly look at Chen Xiaoru, his eyes full of tenderness.

"What should I do if I like it more and more the more I look at it?" Xiao Lang thought to himself.

Chen Xiaoru felt his gaze, but did not expose her. She just patiently fed him the porridge spoonful by spoonful.

"Come, drink some water." Chen Xiaoru handed him her cup, which contained water that she had secretly added with spiritual spring water.

Xiao Lang took it and drank half of the cup in one breath.

"Do you want more?" Chen Xiaoru asked.

"That's enough." Xiao Lang handed the cup back to her.

Only then did Chen Xiaoru pick up another lunch box and start eating her meal.

Inside the ward, there were only slight chewing sounds and the clinking of dishes and chopsticks. The sunlight from outside poured in through the glass window, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.
