There are free recruits available, so why not take advantage of it?

"it is good."

Shen Lu recalled yesterday's training session and asked with some concern, "What about the training?"

Gu Xiao said, "You can ask for leave."

After dropping their child off at school, the couple changed clothes and prepared to go to the department store.

The adjutant drove, and all the way there, he still couldn't believe that the translator from a few days ago had now become the regimental commander's wife.

"You've changed so much since you lost weight! I've seen you many times before and you never recognized me," Lieutenant He exclaimed.

"That's what everyone says," Shen Lu chuckled.

What about the adjutant she had met a few times? Even her husband, who slept next to her, didn't recognize her, which shows how different she is from before.

The original owner of this body also had this face, but due to her personality traits from childhood, she always liked to bury her face in her hair.

So many people don't really know what she looks like. Now she's just losing weight and has also lifted her hair up, which is why people feel like she's a completely different person.

He Cunguang nodded, acknowledging Shen Lu's changes.

Goodness, even her own mother might not recognize Shen Lu if she stood right in front of her.

However, the more He Cunguang thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Wait a minute, Comrade Shen, my commander and I didn't recognize you, so why didn't you recognize us either?"

So you're saying that Commander Gu hasn't changed at all, and Comrade Shen shouldn't be unable to recognize him?

If Shen Lu had recognized the leader, how could this misunderstanding have occurred?

An awkward silence fell over the room.

Shen Lu stood there stunned. He hadn't expected He Cunguang to ask such a question.

Shen Lu's mind raced as she desperately searched for a suitable reason.

"Well……"

A fleeting thought flashed through Shen Lu's mind: a scene from a Korean drama where the male and female leads suffer amnesia after a car accident.

"I suffered a head injury in a car accident, so I forgot some of my memories, and I can't remember many people's faces."

Shen Lu silently marveled at herself for being a genius; with this reason, it was understandable that she wouldn't recognize others in the future.

Upon hearing this reason, Gu Xiao looked at Shen Lu through the rearview mirror.

So, he didn't deliberately refuse to acknowledge me because he disliked me.

For some reason, Gu Xiao felt much better after realizing this situation. He casually rested his elbow on the car window, feeling that the weather was bright and the sunlight felt especially comfortable on his body.

Lieutenant He was driving when he heard this and blurted out a sentence.

"Wait a minute, how come I remember that amnesia would make me forget what the person I hate most looks like?"

Shen Lu wished she could rush up and shut Deputy Officer He up.

If you can't speak properly, then don't just spout nonsense, okay?

Shen Lu carefully observed Gu Xiao's expression through the rearview mirror.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't show any expression on his face.

At the same time, Shen Lu felt a pang of disappointment. Her lack of reaction made her wonder if it meant Gu Xiao didn't care about her.

Unbeknownst to him, in a corner where he couldn't see, Gu Xiao's fist clenched tighter and tighter.

Upon arriving at the department store, Lieutenant He inexplicably felt a chill.

Lieutenant He was puzzled. Strange, why was there a chill in the air on such a sunny day?

Little did he know that Gu Xiao beside him had become a human air conditioner.

The two walked all the way to the department store without exchanging a single word.

Shen Lu wondered if it was just her imagination, but Gu Xiao's pace seemed a little fast, and she couldn't keep up even with her usual steps.

Shen Lu felt that this man was inexplicable. She hadn't provoked him or offended him, so why was Gu Xiao's attitude so bad?

Just as she was chasing after Gu Xiao, a little girl ran out from the side.

Shen Lu tripped over the little girl without noticing and fell to the ground.

"hiss……"

Because the fall aggravated the wound on her waist, Shen Lu gasped and cried out in pain.

The child's parents caught up at this moment and quickly stepped forward to apologize.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry, I didn't see the child and he ran into you."

Shen Lu also has children, and she knows that when children are playing, there are bound to be times when parents can't keep an eye on them.

Shen Lu waved her hand, not wanting to dwell on it.

The parents quickly expressed their gratitude.

Gu Xiao rushed over immediately upon hearing the commotion and carefully helped Shen Lu up.

Despite her own physical pain, Shen Lu continued to persuade her parents.

"Tell the child to be more careful next time, and not to touch anything unsafe."

"Okay, thank you," the parent said, bowing in gratitude.

"How did you fall?" Gu Xiao was used to living with a group of grown men in the army, and because he was worried, he didn't notice how cold his tone was.

Shen Lu was fine, just a little sore, but he was quite resourceful and usually just got up, dusted himself off, and left.

For some reason, Shen Lu felt a surge of grievance in front of Gu Xiao.

Shen Lu couldn't help but complain.

"It's all because of you! Why were you walking so fast! I bumped into someone because I was chasing you."

Shen Lu's voice wasn't loud, but the last syllable revealed a hint of grievance. Her eyes, which were staring at her, were red, as if she was about to shed tears at any moment.

In an instant, Gu Xiao felt that he had committed a heinous crime.

"I...I'm sorry I didn't take good care of you..."

Shen Lu was still feeling wronged, but seeing the man looking just as helpless as the young boy, most of her grievances dissipated instantly. She almost burst out laughing, but thankfully she held it in.

"Then I want an ice pop, go buy it for me." Shen Lu's voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

"Okay, wait for me."

Gu Xiao's face was serious, as if he had received the most important mission from his superior. He was just short of turning around to salute Shen Lu before marching away.

Shen Lu limped over to a nearby chair and sat down to rest.

Gu Xiao returned in less than five minutes, carrying a bag of popsicles.

Shen Lu clearly remembered that the popsicle was near the bus stop diagonally opposite the department store, and it would take at least twenty minutes to walk from there to here.

How come Gu Xiao is back so soon?

And he did it without changing his expression or even panting.

Gu Xiao held a bag of popsicles and showed them to Shen Lu.

"I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I bought one of each flavor."

Although there weren't as many flavors of popsicles in this era as there are today, this was, after all, the capital city, so there were always more varieties.

So Gu Xiao bought eight popsicles.

Shen Lu looked at his expectant face as he asked her what flavor she wanted to eat, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How can the two of us possibly eat so many popsicles?"

"You can choose what you like to eat, and the rest can be given away. Don't worry, it definitely won't go to waste."

Gu Xiao answered in a very formal and methodical manner.

For some reason, Shen Lu's heart felt as if a pebble had been thrown in, creating ripples upon ripples.
