As soon as they got home, Chen Xiaoru's eyelids began to droop. Xiao Lang had tormented her so much last night that she barely slept. Today, she got up early and walked around for a long time. Now, the sleepiness was pouring over her like a tide, and she couldn't stop it.

Xiao Lang looked at her trying to hold on and said distressedly, "Xiao Ru, go get some sleep first. I'll pack my things and return the car later."

"Well, then you go ahead. I'll take a nap first." Chen Xiaoru yawned loudly, her voice a little unclear. She turned and went into the bedroom and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.

Xiao Lang carefully moved the purchased rice, flour, grain and oil into the kitchen and arranged them neatly.

He took out the newly bought shirt, filled a basin with clean water, washed it carefully, wrung out the water, and hung it on the clothesline in the yard.

In the sunshine, the brand new shirt fluttered gently in the wind, emitting a faint scent of soapberry.

After doing all this, Xiao Lang looked at the time. It was still early. He went back to the room and glanced at Chen Xiaoru who was sleeping soundly. She was sleeping soundly with rosy cheeks, like a child.

Xiao Lang couldn't help but kiss her gently on the forehead, then quietly closed the door, pushed his bicycle and went out.

In the military district’s family compound, several military wives were gathered together, talking in a flurry.

"Did you see that? Just now, Battalion Commander Xiao came back on his bike with a woman on the back seat. She looked like a movie star. I almost didn't recognize her!"

The person who was speaking was Mrs. Zhang, who had a loud voice, was well-informed, and was the "gossip center" in the family compound.

"Yeah, I saw him too. He's really handsome, but he has that alluring aura. You can tell he's not a decent guy. He's probably some seductive vixen!"

Mrs. Li curled her lips, her tone a little sour.

"If you ask me, Captain Xiao is the same. He has such a... well, what is he doing out there messing around with these questionable women?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head, looking very disappointed in him.

"That's right! That fat bitch, who usually runs rampant in the family compound, has now become a coward, not even daring to fart!"

As Mrs. Zhang spoke, she gestured with her hands, as if Chen Xiaoru's fat body was right in front of her.

"Hahaha, with her physique, no matter how hard she tries, she can't even compare to one of his fingers. I'm afraid she's met her match this time!"

Mrs. Li covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and her gloating look made people laugh.

"Hey, you guys think, Captain Xiao couldn't have really been bewitched by that vixen, right? And Chen Xiaoru..."

Mrs. Wang hesitated to speak, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes.

They were chatting animatedly and didn't notice that Xiao Lang had come up behind them on his bicycle. Hearing their talk, Xiao Lang frowned and his face darkened.

"Sisters-in-law, it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs." Xiao Lang's voice suddenly rang out, startling several military wives.

They turned around and saw that it was Xiao Lang, and an embarrassed look appeared on their faces.

"Captain Xiao... Captain Xiao, we..." Mrs. Zhang stammered and tried to explain.

"That lesbian isn't some vixen, she's my wife, Chen Xiaoru."

Xiao Lang interrupted her, his voice low but full of unquestionable authority, "She lost weight some time ago, you should know that!"

"What? Chen Xiaoru?" Several military wives looked at each other in shock.

"Captain Xiao, you...you are not kidding, right? Is that female comrade really Chen Xiaoru?" Sister Li widened her eyes, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"It's genuine." After Xiao Lang said that, he pushed his bicycle away, leaving several military wives standing there in a daze.

"Oh my God! Is this... is this still that fat woman? It's like she's become a completely different person!" Mrs. Zhang was the first to react and exclaimed.

"The weight loss effect is too good, right? It's even better than plastic surgery!" Mrs. Wang also exclaimed.

"I've decided, I want to lose weight too! I want to become a great beauty too!" Mrs. Li clenched her fists, as if she had made some important decision.

Mrs. Zhang on the side jokingly said, "Come on! You wouldn't look good even if you were thinner. You're so blessed now!"

Mrs. Li then thought about it and said, "Yeah, what's the point of being so thin? If the wind blows, you won't be able to find me. I'm better off like this."

Xiao Lang rode his bicycle to Li Gang's door. He parked his bicycle, knocked gently on the door, and called out, "Dong dong dong, Sister Li, I'm here to return my bicycle."

"Captain Xiao, wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Sister Li's voice came from the house, with a hint of urgency.

After a while, the door creaked open, and Sister Li leaned halfway out, greeting him warmly, "Captain Xiao, come in quickly and just push the cart into the yard. Come over for dinner tonight. I made dumplings with sauerkraut and pork filling. They're so delicious!"

Xiao Lang felt a little hungry when he heard this, but he still declined politely: "Sister-in-law Li, no, my wife is still waiting for me at home!"

After saying that, he scratched his head and showed a simple smile, just like a henpecked husband.

When Sister Li heard this, she immediately remembered Chen Xiaoru's stunning appearance after losing weight, and her "glorious deeds" of domineering behavior in the family compound, and she couldn't help but shudder.

She quickly changed her tone and said, "Oh, fine, I won't keep you here. Xiaoru has changed a lot now, you have to cherish her!"

"Hehe, that's right. My wife is now the beauty of our family compound!" Xiao Lang said proudly, his tone full of pride.

"Okay, Sister Li, I'll go back first." Xiao Lang waved his hand, turned and left.
