Lu Chenghuai raised his lips, "I have returned on time from my mission this time. After all, I still want to know your family's opinions and get their approval. It's a pity that I can't bring you a gift. I have already thought about it. Winter is coming soon. Winter on the island is very cold. I want to buy you a red scarf so that you won't be blown by the cold wind on your face when you are at work. You will definitely look very beautiful wearing it."

"I passed out after the mission was over. Before I passed out, I only thought about whether you would be sad if I could not wake up again, and how I would push you away if I became a useless person. With only these two thoughts in mind, I lost consciousness. Fortunately, the first thing I saw when I woke up was you, and what I worried about before was not reality."

It was rare for him to speak so long at once. Even though he was deliberately trying to make things look bad, Xu Sui was still stunned for a while.

"No." Xu Sui said firmly, "I won't be pushed away by you."

As for the first possibility of not being able to wake up, she didn't want to talk about it.

Xu Sui said: "When we first met and Director Yang introduced you to me, I was actually avoiding it because I was afraid that I would fall in love with you."

She didn't know why Lu Chenghuai liked her and why he cared about her so much. This made her feel insecure and she couldn't take that step forward. The happier her life was now, the more afraid she was of being hurt.

She went on to say, "But now, I occasionally think about getting married and what our future as a family will be like. I hope that when you go on missions in the future, you can remember that there are family members on the island waiting for your safe return."

She was not hard-hearted, especially since she could see that his kindness towards her was not just a temporary act for the sake of pursuing him.

Xu Sui used the cotton swab to swab his lips again. "During this period of time, you should calm down and rest in the hospital. A speedy recovery is the most important thing."

Lu Chenghuai looked at her and raised his lips. "To be able to hear these words from you, this injury is worth it. I also want to wait until the next month, then ask for leave from the army, and go with you to meet your family and ask them to let me take care of their daughter. For this, I will also recover as soon as possible."

He was always like this. As soon as she showed any sign of slackness, he would immediately chase after her and not give her any chance to retreat.

Xu Sui couldn't help but glare at him. "Rest well first. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will show you my family's response to my last letter."

Lu Chenghuai knew that her family's attitude should be smooth, but he still wanted to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

He even wanted to get the marriage certificate on the day of the beginning of spring. Only when both of their names were written on the same piece of paper and stamped with the seal of the state would he feel at ease.

But he also knew the principle of knowing when to quit. Her attitude towards him today was already a surprise.

She clearly said that she would think about what they would be like after they got married. Lu Chenghuai also thought about it many times, on the warship that was shaking slightly at night.

Lu Chenghuai looked at his partner and felt that he could not look at her enough, but he still said: "You should go back and rest first. You still have to go to work tomorrow. I am awake now and can take care of myself."

After confirming that he was indeed capable of taking care of himself, Xu Sui did not insist, "I will come to see you after work tomorrow."

After that, she leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips.

Without stopping for a moment, it left as soon as it touched.

Lu Chenghuai raised his eyes and looked at her with a much deeper look.

Xu Sui stood up and couldn't help but curl his lips. If it were any other time, he would definitely hug her after this light kiss, and then kiss her hair, cheeks, behind the ears and neck.

But now, there was nothing he could do.

Xu Sui felt inexplicably happy and waved, "I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow."

After watching the ward door close for a long time, Lu Chenghuai let out a deep breath.

Even if it was just his leg that was injured, with her bold action, she could have made up for the intimacy they had lost during the month they had not seen each other.

Unfortunately, the wound was on his abdomen and he couldn't get up yet.

Fortunately, the enemy's gun missed the target by a small amount and the most important organs were not damaged.

He counted silently in his mind: There were still three months until the beginning of spring.

When Xu Sui returned home, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were already asleep, but Xu Mian and Xu Bing were still sitting in the yard.

Seeing her come back, Xu Mian hurriedly said, "It's almost time, you should go wash up and go to bed. The water is ready for you. I had planned that if you didn't come back by 12 o'clock, I would go to the hospital with your brother-in-law."

She then asked, "How is Captain Lu doing?"

Xu Sui took the water from Xu Bing, moistened her throat and said, "He has woken up. The doctor checked and found nothing wrong with him. He just needs to rest for a while and heal his wounds before he can be discharged from the hospital."

"That's good." Xu Mian felt relieved and urged her to wash up and go to bed again.

After work the next day, Xu Sui went to the hospital again.

Lu Chenghuai was in a single room. After one day, many fruits and food were placed beside his bed, and there was even a lunch box on the cabinet beside the bed.

Xu Sui put all these things in order, sat beside the bed and peeled a pear for him.

Lu Chenghuai was now able to sit up against the bed, but his face was still a little pale. But ever since he saw her, there was a smile in his eyes. "Today, my sister-in-law came to bring me food and said that you turned pale as soon as you knew I was injured yesterday, and you ran straight to the hospital."

Xu Sui stuffed a small piece of pear meat into his mouth, "So don't scare me again in the future."

She put the fruit knife aside and said, "Let me see where you are injured."

Lu Chenghuai lifted up the corner of his clothes, and Xu Sui could see that there was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his abdomen. Although she couldn't see the wound, she could still feel how horrible it was.

Xu Sui leaned over slightly and gently touched the gauze on his abdomen. She didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting him.

It was not until she felt the gazes on her body getting hotter and hotter that she suddenly realized how ambiguous her current posture was.

He was injured in the abdomen, and the bandage was applied there, so his pants were worn a little low. Now the exposed skin, if it was moved any lower, would be a part that she couldn't see.

Before Xu Sui could react, she saw Lu Chenghuai suddenly put his clothes away quickly and covered the quilt that he had just opened.

These two actions only took one or two seconds.

She raised her head and met his dim eyes directly.

In the closed room, they were alone, and the atmosphere became charming as they stared at each other silently.

Lu Chenghuai finally lifted it and placed it on the right side of her cheek.

The warm breath kept approaching, lightly brushing across her brows and nose, until a cool touch touched her lips.
