Following Xiaohai to the entrance of Li Hongjun's ward, Shen Yunfang turned to look at him and said, "Xiaohai, you've had a hard time these past few days."
"Sister-in-law, it wasn't hard," Xiaohai said shyly.
"How could it not be hard? Alright, now that I'm here, you don't have to stay here all the time. If I need anything, I'll call you." Shen Yunfang was genuinely grateful to this young soldier for taking care of her husband during this time, and by saying this, she also had her own motive—she wanted some alone time with Li Hongjun.
Xiaohai was a clever person and saw the subtext in his sister-in-law's words, so he didn't insist anymore, "Then alright, Sister-in-law, you go accompany the commander. I'll go to the cafeteria to see what's left to eat. You must have rushed over here and didn't have lunch, right? Let me fetch something for you."
