There was another small bed in the ward for the accompanying personnel to rest. Nurse Xiaolin took out a new blanket and spread it on her bed. She said happily, "Mrs. Zhou, there's painkillers in the fluid Captain Lu is receiving. I guarantee his wound and the affected area won't hurt tonight. You've been tired all day, so go to bed early."

Lu Qinchuan, lying on the hospital bed, had a dark face. He had experienced countless injuries in his eight years of military service. With his strong bones, let alone the pain he was feeling now, he had also removed shrapnel from his flesh without anesthetics. As long as the pain was not fatal, he could definitely bear it.

Now, what Nurse Kobayashi said seemed to be that he was afraid of pain, and that the pain would torment Zhou Ruoyu.

His face suddenly turned dark, but it happened that the two of them were happily discussing which position was most comfortable for sleeping in this small bed, and no one took the patient's feelings into consideration.

Before going to bed, Zhou Ruoyu walked to his bedside and asked as usual, "Does it hurt? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" After receiving a negative answer, she turned around and sat on the small bed. Following the instructions of Nurse Kobayashi, she chose a side-lying position and lay down.

This posture happens to be facing Lu Qinchuan. Firstly, it is really comfortable, and secondly, it allows one to observe the patient's condition. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Sing the right song for the right mountain, and speak the right words to the right person. This was Zhou Ruoyu's philosophy in her previous life. Nurse Xiaolin was full of kindness, so she treated her sincerely.

Since she treated her sincerely, Nurse Kobayashi taught her everything she knew, including everything that was against the rules and not. This was undoubtedly a great help to Zhou Ruoyu, who had lived two lives but had no experience in taking care of others.

The lights in the ward were not turned off. Lu Qinchuan was lying on his back looking at the snow-white ceiling, but the gaze from another direction was directed straight at him. He felt something poking at his back and always wanted to turn over and adjust himself.

"Can't sleep?" A voice as clear as a spring came from the direction where his gaze was.

"Ah."

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"One thing, I've been lying down for too long."

"Then I'll chat with you."

"..."

Lu Qinchuan wanted to refuse her, after all, it was too late.

But a strange emotion gradually arose in the softest part of his heart, and the scene of the little girl with pigtails sitting on his lap and him accompanying her to school appeared in his mind.

"Besides the work assigned by the army, what else can military dependents do that doesn't violate discipline?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Ruoyu went straight to the point and started talking about the topic that interested her.

"The sister-in-law of the instructor of the Eighth Company actually raised a few rabbits in her yard. During the Lunar New Year, she fattened them up and sold them to the military families in the compound. The higher-ups didn't say anything about it. They were earning money based on their own abilities, so it shouldn't be considered a violation of discipline."

Zhou Ruoyu listened carefully and realized that as an officer he did not mind this kind of thing, so she felt secretly relieved. After all, her ambition was not to do a small business.

After a pause, Lu Qinchuan asked, "Don't you like the work assigned to military families?"

Zhou Ruoyu nodded and blurted out without thinking: "I don't really like living in a box. I'm only eighteen years old. I feel that life is meaningful only when I work hard to achieve my dreams."

Lu Qinchuan tilted his head to look at her, but saw that although she was lying on her side facing him, her slightly narrowed eyes were looking up into the sky, as if there was a door leading to a beautiful world there, opening towards her.

His heart skipped a beat. Was this still the little fish that had always been following him around, with a snotty nose that couldn't be wiped clean? This hopeful look made him feel both unfamiliar and deeply moved.

After just one glance, he averted his gaze, his long eyelashes trembling a few times. He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Company Commander Zhu came today, and I asked him to help plant the land in the yard. It's almost autumn, so we can only plant cabbage and radishes."

"Hmm?" These words brought Zhou Ruoyu's thoughts back from exploring the unknown world.

She raised her body, reconfirmed that he had really changed the subject, then lay down again and yawned:

"I'm not very good at this. I got carried away and thought it would be bad to leave the whole yard empty. As a result, I had to trouble Captain Zhu and Sister Zhou for their help."

Lu Qinchuan chuckled: "If we could do everything ourselves, the world would be full of perfect people."

Zhou Ruoyu was actually very sleepy. When she heard Lu Qinchuan's words, she subconsciously started to flatter him: "But I think you are perfect. Young, brave, with eight-pack abs..."

Eight-pack abs?

Lu Qinchuan glanced at the side and saw that Xiaoyu had curled up slightly on the small bed, and her eyelids finally closed due to the lack of strength.

He smiled helplessly, and suddenly felt that he was such a boring husband. The topics he chose could make her fall asleep.

That night, Lu Qinchuan woke and fell asleep in waves of pain, some light, some heavy, while Zhou Ruoyu slept soundly on the other side. However, because the bed was too narrow, her posture had not changed. When she woke up, her arms were numb, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes and shook her head.

When she raised her eyes, she met Lu Qinchuan's eyes as he tilted his head to look at her.

Lu Qinchuan was startled by the sudden eye contact and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "Did you bring this clothes from home?"

You see, Zhou Shufen’s craftsmanship is so good that even this rough guy has to come out. This talent must not be buried.

Thinking of this, she turned around playfully and asked him with a beaming expression, "This is Sister Zhou's work. Isn't it beautiful?"

"……Um……"

Lu Qinchuan was unable to resist. Before, even female mosquitoes were rarely seen in the house where he lived. Now, with a pretty woman always in front of him, he felt his chest tighten.

Just as I was racking my brains to pick out a few words of praise to give her from all the words I had learned in my life, Nurse Kobayashi came in with her hair fluffy from sleeping.

She yawned, squinted her eyes and asked Zhou Ruoyu: "Sister Zhou, did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I slept very soundly. I didn't even have a dream!" Zhou Ruoyu answered crisply.

"The cafeteria opens early, so you should wash up first and go have a bite. I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"That's fine, I'll come back and change you."

The two girls of the same age were chatting animatedly, but Lu Qinchuan on the hospital bed had a cold expression. He was obviously a patient, but at least he was the protagonist among the three of them!

"Xiao Lin," Lu Qinchuan said in a cold voice, "Go find the director first and put my legs down."

Xiao Lin then remembered that the handsome officer was still lying on the bed. She slapped her forehead hard and muttered regretfully, "Oh, the director told me to put Captain Lu's legs down before he left work yesterday. I forgot."

Facing Lu Qinchuan's death stare, Xiao Lin felt his scalp tingling and began to frantically loosen the straps above the bed.

It was just because she was too nervous that she accidentally let the injured leg in the cast slip from her hands and fell heavily on the bed.
