Gu Moting looked at Xiao Xue with deep affection, "Xue'er, I will try my best to make more contributions and apply for a transfer back to Beijing. It's all about protecting our country, and my duty is the same no matter where I am."
The idea of applying for a transfer back to Beijing came to Gu Moting the moment he learned of Xiao Xue's accident. He couldn't selfishly leave his wife to face life alone; he wanted to work hard to earn military merit and apply for a transfer back to her side. A soldier's duties are the same wherever he is; he must accept missions wherever he is.
Xiao Xue laughed, but tears streamed down her face as she laughed. She knew Gu Moting was planning for their future, and that she played a significant role in his choices. Gu Moting had encouraged her to go to university and supported her studies instead of letting her join the military. Now, Gu Moting was working hard to get her transferred back; he had always been considerate of her needs.
Seeing Xiao Xue cry, Gu Moting panicked and hurriedly stood up to comfort her. He took out the handkerchief Xiao Xue had given him from his pocket and hastily wiped away her tears.
"Xue'er, don't cry! When you cry, my heart races and I feel terrible. Did I say or do something wrong to upset you? If so, you can scold me or even hit me, as long as you don't cry, anything is fine."
Xiao Xue couldn't help but shed tears for a moment. After hearing Gu Moting's words, she felt embarrassed to cry. She shook her head and said, "It's not that you said or did anything wrong, it's just that I was moved to tears."
"Mo Ting, let's leave it at that, okay? The perpetrator has already been punished, and we don't need to make things difficult for ourselves by dwelling on this. You still haven't told me if you have any other injuries."
Gu Moting didn't know much about the inside story, but he also knew there was no need to keep bringing it up. He and his wife had finally managed to spend time together, and they should make the most of it.
Hearing his wife ask about his injuries, Gu Moting felt somewhat helpless. Besides his broken hand, he did indeed have other injuries. He had originally wanted to hide them from his wife and family to avoid worrying them, but now it seemed he couldn't hide them from her anymore.
Gu Moting pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Xiao Xue, thinking about how to tell her to ease her worries. "Xue'er, I still have some injuries, but they're not very serious. It's common for soldiers to get injured on missions; we're used to it."
Xiao Xue stared intently at Gu Moting. The moment she saw him, she noticed that his face was noticeably pale, his lips were white, and there was a dark patch under his eyes.
Gu Moting felt a little guilty under Xiao Xue's gaze. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore. If he didn't let his wife know how badly he was injured, he might have to sleep on the sofa tonight.
When he was a child, his father angered his mother, and she kicked him out of his room. In order to avoid being kicked out of his room again, Gu Moting decided to confess.
Gu Moting stood up and unbuttoned his shirt. Xiao Xue's eyes flickered as she watched him. But the only way she could find out about Gu Moting's injury was to look at his body.
When Gu Moting took off his shirt completely, revealing his upper body, Xiao Xue suddenly stood up and took two steps forward to stand in front of Gu Moting.
