Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

As the dawn gently arrived, the sunlight was like a kind painter, using delicate brushstrokes to paint warm light and shadow on Tang Xiaoxiao's face, gently waking her up from her dream.

Tang Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the familiar ward, with white walls, soft lights, and the bed that she was so familiar with.

At this time, the daily operation of the hospital began, doctors were busy walking in the corridors, and nurses were whispering to maintain the tranquility of the ward.

Tang Xiaoxiao's alertness increased instantly. She listened attentively, capturing every movement inside and outside the ward. Her eyes swept over Tang Tianque on the bed. His face was as pale as paper, but his pulse was stable and his breathing was even, which made her tense nerves relax a little.

Last night, Tang Tianque had gone through a life-and-death battle. After the successful operation, he was still in a deep sleep. Tang Xiaoxiao stayed by his side until she closed her eyes briefly beside the bed due to exhaustion late at night.

At the same time, military affairs could not be ignored. Qu Xuebin, Tang Tianque's deputy, hurried back to the army to take on those unavoidable responsibilities after learning that Tang Tianque had safely passed the dangerous period.

He knew that Tang Tianque's safety was not just a personal matter, but a concern for the entire army.

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and a young female doctor walked in. She was He Xueya.

He Xueya's eyes are clear and bright, like shining stars, and her smile is warm and kind, making people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze.

Wearing a clean white doctor's uniform, she looks energetic and her professional temperament is fully revealed in every move. Although her beauty is not outstanding, her unique inner charm is impressive.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at He Xueya, and a sense of intimacy surged in her heart. She asked anxiously: "Sister He, how is my brother? When will he wake up?"

Although Tang Xiaoxiao is a doctor herself, she still can't remain calm when facing her brother's illness.

He Xueya skillfully checked Tang Tianque's physical condition, and then responded with a smile: "Brigade Commander Tang's condition has stabilized and his body is gradually recovering. Don't worry too much, he should wake up soon."

He Xueya's concern for Tang Xiaoxiao was not out of duty, but out of her love for this sweet and lovely little girl.

Perhaps because she could not possess the same youthful vitality as Tang Xiaoxiao, she took care of Tang Xiaoxiao more attentively and with more love.

He Xueya took out a few beautifully wrapped chocolates from her pocket, handed them to Tang Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, you must be hungry, right? Eat these chocolates first."

Tang Xiaoxiao has a good relationship with the medical staff of the hospital. She has helped the hospital solve drug problems many times, and has won their respect and friendship.

Tang Xiaoxiao took the chocolate, smiled gratefully, and responded: "Thank you, Sister He, you are so thoughtful." She could feel He Xueya's concern,

He Xueya said softly: "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to work, you have to take good care of yourself."

Tang Xiaoxiao responded to He Xueya's care with a smile and waved goodbye: "Sister He, you should also take care of your rest. Goodbye."

He Xueya turned and left, leaving behind a busy and determined back.

Tang Xiaoxiao watched her leave, her heart full of gratitude and expectation.

How great it would be if He Xueya, the woman who always warmed others with her tender smile, was her sister-in-law.

Tang Xiaoxiao prayed silently in her heart, her thoughts drifting far away, as if she could see a warm family scene, and she, He Xueya, and her brother Tang Tianque sat around the table, sharing the tranquility of home.

However, the urgency of reality quickly pulled her back, and Tang Tianque's movements woke her up from her reverie.

Tang Xiaoxiao turned around and found that Tang Tianque's eyes trembled slightly, revealing a hint of life.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, almost jumping out of her chest, and her joy was beyond words.

"Brother, brother, you finally woke up!" Tang Xiaoxiao's voice was full of excitement. She almost jumped up, but reason told her to stay calm.

Tang Tianque coughed a few times and said weakly: "Cough, cough, water..."

Hearing his request, Tang Xiaoxiao took action immediately. She held Tang Tianque steadily, carefully picked up the cold cup of water on the bedside, and fed him a little at a time.

After Tang Tianque finished drinking the water, his complexion gradually regained color. He began to look around and then realized that he was lying on a hospital bed with bandages wrapped around his body.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work. How is the army going?" Tang Tianque's voice was weak but still firm.

"Brother, don't worry. Everything is fine in the army. Brother Qu is in charge!" Tang Xiaoxiao comforted him. She knew that her brother was most concerned about the safety of the army. "Just rest assured and recover. Brother Qu will take care of everything."

Hearing this, Tang Tianque breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried and asked again, "What are the casualties?"

Tang Xiaoxiao's expression darkened, but she still firmly stated the numbers: "848 killed, 134 seriously injured, and 68 slightly injured." These numbers were like cold blades, piercing their hearts.

When Tang Tianque heard this number, his heart tightened. He knew very well that behind every number was a living life and a ruthless war.

Tang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her heart: "We wiped out 2600 enemy troops. It's a 1:3 result, which is not bad."

Despite this, Tang Tianque still couldn't let it go. Those deceased comrades, those innocent lives, and those families broken apart by the war all made him feel extremely guilty and angry.

"Damn Japs, damn war." He cursed under his breath.

At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Qu Xuebin and other cadres from the 361th Brigade of the 268st Division hurried in. Their faces were full of concern and worry.

"Old Tang, how are you?" Qu Xuebin's voice was full of tension, and he walked quickly to the bedside.

"Brigade Commander, are you okay?" other soldiers asked one after another, their voices full of concern.

"I'm fine, you all worked hard." Tang Tianque responded, his eyes full of gratitude towards his subordinates.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at this scene with mixed feelings. She knew that her brother's injuries needed to be taken care of, and at the same time, the wounded of the 268th Brigade also needed nutrition.

She can't just take care of her brother, she has to be responsible for everyone.

So she quietly retreated and decided to go hunting to find some food to provide the necessary nutrition for her brother and other wounded people.
