Xiao Lang walked into the kitchen and opened the cupboard door. It was so empty that even a mouse would cry. He suddenly remembered that he had only given Chen Xiaoru five yuan before leaving on the mission and hadn't had time to give her the receipt. He had been so busy recovering from his injuries that he had forgotten about it.

So how did she get through this month? No wonder she lost weight so quickly. Could it be because she was hungry? The more Xiao Lang thought about it, the more he felt that this was how she lost weight, and he felt very guilty.

He walked out of the kitchen and said to Chen Xiaoru who was sitting in the living room, "Xiaoru, there's nothing to eat at home. I'm going to buy something. You stay home obediently."

"Well, do you need my help?" Chen Xiaoru raised her head and asked with concern.

"No need, I'll be back soon." Xiao Lang smiled, his eyes full of tenderness. After speaking, he opened the door and strode out.

As soon as Xiao Lang left, someone knocked on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Chen Xiaoru was stunned. Xiao Lang didn't bring his key? She walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was a pretty woman.

"Comrade, who are you?" Chen Xiaoru asked doubtfully.

The woman opposite was confused. She looked Chen Xiaoru up and down and asked, "Who are you? Why are you at Brother Lang's house?"

"You, female comrade, are so funny. You come to my house and ask who I am?" Chen Xiaoru crossed her arms, leaned against the door frame, and raised a playful arc at the corner of her mouth, looking at the other person with amusement.

"You said you are Chen Xiaoru? How is that possible!" The woman widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Why is it impossible?" Chen Xiaoru raised her eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in her tone.

The woman was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She pushed Chen Xiaoru away, walked straight into the house, looked around, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Chen Xiaoru, come out! Come out!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, with a sense of arrogance and domineering, as if this was her home.

Seeing her behavior, how could Chen Xiaoru tolerate it? She rushed over, grabbed the woman's hair, and dragged her out. When she reached the door, she kicked her out.

Coincidentally, Xiao Lang came back at this time, and the woman fell right into his arms.

The woman reacted quickly as well. She hugged Xiao Lang's neck and complained in a delicate voice: "Brother Lang, she kicked me~" Her voice was so coquettish that water could drip out of it, and the ending tone was trembling, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Chen Xiaoru got goosebumps and her stomach churned, nearly throwing up. But she wasn't going to let this woman off easy! She mimicked the woman's tone, saying in a coquettish voice, "Brother Lang, this is your little lover~" Her voice was filled with teasing and provocation.

Xiao Lang was startled by this sudden "good fortune". He pushed the woman in his arms away without mercy, frowned, and said in a bad tone: "Zhu Yinyin, are you sick?"

Zhu Yinyin staggered and almost fell down after being pushed. She steadied herself, glared at Xiao Lang, and asked, "Xiao Lang! You actually pushed me for this woman?"

"Zhu Yinyin, I warn you, be polite when you speak! Xiaoru is my wife, I don't allow you to say that to her!" Xiao Lang's face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes scraped at Zhu Yinyin like a knife.

Zhu Yinyin shuddered at Xiao Lang's aura, but she was still unwilling to give in. She pointed at Chen Xiaoru and screamed, "Her? What kind of wife is she? Have you forgotten how you married her? Now you are yelling at me for her?" Pointing at Chen Xiaoru, she continued, "If it weren't for her, I would marry you."

It turns out this lesbian is called Athena Chu! Chen Xiaoru folded her hands over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and glanced back and forth between the two of them, her face full of excitement as if to say, "I have melons, come and eat them!"

Xiao Lang hurried to Chen Xiaoru's side, his eyes full of panic, and explained anxiously, "Xiaoru, don't listen to her nonsense! She and I...we were on a blind date before, but I never liked her at all! It's her, it's her who keeps clinging to me, like a dog-skin plaster that I can't get rid of!"

"Xiao Lang! You...you've gone too far!" Zhu Yinyin was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears rolling down her face like beads from a broken string. She stomped her feet, turned around, covered her face and ran out. Her back looked as miserable as it could be.

Chen Xiaoru deliberately stretched out her voice, with a hint of ridicule at the end, "Oh! It seems that our Brother Lang has quite a few romantic debts."

Xiao Lang shook his head helplessly, tapped her forehead with his fingertips, and said softly, "You!" After that, he turned and walked into the house, carried the things in his hand into the kitchen and put them down.

He walked out of the kitchen, came to Chen Xiaoru, hugged her in his arms, and said seriously: "Xiaoru, you have to believe me. Before I met you, I really had no contact with other female comrades. Every day is nothing but tasks."

He paused, then continued, "As for Zhu Yinyin, the regiment commander insisted I go on a blind date, saying she was Political Commissar Zhu's daughter, and it was hard to refuse. After meeting her once, I didn't agree. Later... later, on the way to visit my old squad leader, I met you, saved you, and then... I married you."

"Why, do you feel wronged by marrying me?" Before Chen Xiaoru could finish her words, Xiao Lang suddenly lowered his head and covered her with his warm lips, blocking her from finishing her words.

The kiss was as brief and gentle as a dragonfly skimming the water, and it was over soon.

Xiao Lang let her go, his eyes filled with a hint of grievance, and his tone softened, "Xiao Ru, before... before, when I heard those rumors about you in your village, to be honest, I was against it. At that time, I really didn't want to get married."

"You want to marry me even though you don't want to? Are you stupid?" Chen Xiaoru scolded.
