Li Wanqing didn't go out to buy groceries to cook lunch; she just got some food from the hospital cafeteria.

Thanks to Tonono's adorable antics this morning, the portion of food was noticeably larger.

I even made a non-spicy steamed meatloaf, and the little guy really enjoyed it.

Cheng Baichuan was still eating the sick person's food, which tasted bland and tasteless.

Li Wanqing and her daughter ate to their hearts' content, but inexplicably sensed a sense of resentment.

Looking up... well, one of the wounded soldiers looks rather pitiful.

"Once we move into the family compound, I'll try to cook you something delicious," Li Wanqing said helplessly.

"Can you eat spicy food?" Cheng Baichuan asked expectantly.

Whether in Hunan or Sichuan provinces, it is a strongly flavored spicy dish.

He hadn't tasted chili peppers for almost two years since he started sleeping there.

Li Wanqing glared at him with a stern face, "No way!"

What are you thinking?

During rehabilitation, you need to pay attention to nutrition and avoid certain foods; spicy food is absolutely out of the question.

Cheng Nuo hesitated for a moment, then pushed her steamed meatloaf in front of Cheng Baichuan.

"Daddy~ Ah~" Cheng Nuo gently patted his hand. Poor Daddy.

But what's so delicious about spicy food?

Her meat patties are still the best!

Cheng Baichuan was moved to tears. His daughter was so thoughtful, much better than Lao Liang's daughter.

Cheng Baichuan pushed the meat pie back and gently patted his daughter's head.

“Daddy won’t eat, but Nono will.”

No matter what, he shouldn't take food from the child, right?

Cheng Nuo lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat disappointed.

She finally managed to share something with her father, but he refused.

Li Wanqing glanced at it, then deliberately said sadly, "Is Nuonuo only for Daddy?"

Cheng Nuo suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining as she looked at her mother.

"Mommy~ Tch~"

The little hand pushed the meat pie directly in front of Li Wanqing, grinning and looking at her with expectant eyes.

Li Wanqing picked up a small piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, then immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow! Nono's meat patty is so delicious."

Hearing this, the little guy's eyes narrowed with joy. It felt so good to have his mom around!

Seeing the warm and intimate interaction between the mother and daughter, Cheng Baichuan was extremely envious.

If nothing unexpected had happened, would he be able to get along well with his daughter now?

After comforting the little guy, Li Wanqing looked up and saw his forlorn expression.

She couldn't comment on how Cheng Baichuan treated the original owner of the body.

However, he's been quite good to Nuonuo these past two days; at least for now, it seems he wants to be a good father.

"If a child is willing to share something she likes, it means she likes you a lot."

Li Wanqing kindly reminded her that if possible, she still hoped her daughter could grow up in a happy environment.

Therefore, it's best if Cheng Baichuan's role as a father is indispensable.

Cheng Baichuan seemed to understand, but there was one thing he did understand.

That means... his daughter likes him!

He wasn't involved in his daughter's birth and upbringing, so it must be because Li Wanqing taught her well that his daughter doesn't feel distant from him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Baichuan felt both grateful and guilty towards Li Wanqing.

Li Wanqing: ...Has this guy taken the wrong medicine?

Suddenly feeling guilty? What a load of rubbish!

If he knew that his daughter's affection for him stemmed entirely from a past life, I wonder if he would feel even more guilty.

"Mommy~ Daddy~"

Nuonuo grabbed her mother with one hand and her father with the other, her soft voice completely captivating Li Wanqing.

Forget it.

It's good that you feel guilty; that way you'll treat the mother and daughter better in the future!

While the father and daughter were taking a nap, Li Wanqing wrote a letter to He Mei.

The letter briefly described the situation here and instructed her to personally deliver the letter to Dr. Meng.

Besides that, she had another matter she wanted He Mei to investigate.

The post office wasn't far from the hospital, so Li Wanqing told Xiao Wu and went out.

Xuancheng is located at the border of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. She had visited it before when she was traveling in her previous life.

However, things have changed drastically since then.

The current appearance is more like the old town she visited back then.

The state-owned shops, full of the spirit of the times, with slogans visible everywhere on the walls, carry a strong sense of history.

The stamps and envelopes cost 12 cents. Li Wanqing also bought some stationery and envelopes, and prepared some stamps in advance, spending a total of 1.5 yuan.

I originally wanted to call He Mei directly, but then I realized we hadn't made an appointment and I wouldn't be able to reach her by phone, so I gave up.

However, she left a phone number in the letter, which she had obtained from Xiao Wu; it was the phone number of the military service station.

When they returned to the ward, Cheng Baichuan and Nuonuo were both awake.

Xiao Wu was playing with Nuonuo on the side, while Cheng Baichuan was talking to a few people.

Two of them were people Li Wanqing had met before: Commander Yu and Political Commissar Feng.

Li Wanqing didn't recognize the other two, so Yu Guohua introduced them.

Li Wanqing was slightly surprised, not expecting that one of them would be Cheng Chi, the leader of the Southwest Military Region.

Isn't Cheng Baichuan the battalion commander?

Is this some kind of prestige?

However, his appearance... doesn't he look a bit too much like Cheng Baichuan?

Is it her imagination?

Seeing her surprised expression, Yu Guohua smiled and said, "Comrade Li must also think that this kid looks a bit like the leader, right?"

Li Wanqing nodded; it seemed it wasn't her imagination.

"When this kid first joined the army, he was mistaken for the son of a high-ranking officer, which caused him a lot of trouble."

Yu Guohua laughed unkindly, "Later we found out it was a misunderstanding, otherwise he would have been in real trouble."

At that time, Cheng Baichuan was still a naive young man, and he was also good-looking. Coupled with that misunderstanding, many people had designs on him.

That kid was so persistent, so he deliberately kept a cold face.

Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, but some people were still unwilling to give up, and that brat's face became more and more sour.

Having his shortcomings exposed, Cheng Baichuan inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Why did the commander bring up something that might provoke trouble instead of saying anything?

Didn't you see his wife's expression change?

Cheng Chi smiled helplessly, "What kind of regimental commander would dig a pit for his soldiers like you?"

As he spoke, Cheng Chi looked at Li Wanqing and said, "Commander Yu has already told me about your situation. You've had a tough time these past two years."

"With a military wife like you, we soldiers can charge into battle and defend our country without any worries."

Li Wanqing: .....This flattery made her feel a little guilty.

After all, she wasn't the one suffering, and she wasn't that great.

Regardless, since the leader had asked her questions, she could only offer a humble response.

Cheng Chi came here for two reasons: firstly, he happened to be attending a meeting here, and secondly, he stopped by to take a look around.

Secondly, we need to give Cheng Baichuan a heads-up so he can rest well, actively rehabilitate, and strive to return to the team as soon as possible.

Now that the matter is settled, it's time to leave.

Before leaving, he hugged Nuonuo.

The little girl wasn't shy at all, and even boldly stamped the leader's face with her seal.

The problem is, the leader wasn't angry at all; he seemed to be enjoying it.

After seeing the people off, Li Wanqing turned to look at her daughter. Was there really no big scandal involved?

Uh... the little guy was playing with a small rag doll and didn't even glance at her.
