However, only Xu's mother and Xu Shuiping knew that Zhong Guochang had no deep relationship with their family.

Xu Shuiping did occasionally send things to the cowshed, but it was never his initiative. It was Zhong Guochang who proposed a deal with Xu Shuiping after he rescued him once.

Every time Xu Shuiping delivered something to the cowshed, Zhong Guochang would teach him to recognize a certain herb and learn about its medicinal properties. After many times, Xu Shuiping, who was already quite intelligent, mastered some basic medical knowledge and passed the barefoot doctor exam.

To outsiders, Xu Shuiping and Zhong Guochang have a close relationship.

But in fact, apart from asking Zhong Guochang for help, Xu Shuiping never interacted with Zhong Guochang and never said a word to him, let alone any master-disciple relationship.

Ever since Zhong Guochang came back from the hospital, Xu Shuiping has never been to the cowshed again, and whenever he meets him, he pretends not to know him.

The person who regrets the most in the village now is actually Xu Shuiping, who hates himself for not being able to get closer to Zhong Guochang.

But he would not tell anyone about this, especially not to Xu Jiaojiao, so he would just keep it to himself for the rest of his life.

On March 18th, Qi Monan returned to Beijing. After reporting to the military headquarters and holding two meetings, he went directly back to Zhengde Street.

In order to wait for Mo Nan, Grandpa Qi had not moved back to his own yard. Now that he saw his grandson come back safely, he finally felt relieved.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you worry." Qi Mo Nan looked guilty.

Grandpa Qi patted his grandson's shoulder and sighed, "Now I finally understand how difficult it is to be a military family member. You are a good person and have always been a good person. It's me who has grown up and become fussy."

As they were talking, Ziyi ran over, with two little wolf cubs following behind him.

Qi Mo Nan glanced at the two wolf cubs and recognized that the brown wolf cub was the one Song Yun picked up on Lantau Island. Although it was only half a month old, the little wolf cub had grown significantly larger.

A wolf is a wolf, and it looks more majestic than a dog.

Especially the silver-gray wolf cub, with particularly sharp eyes. It is obvious that he is different from ordinary wolf cubs and should be of a rare bloodline.

Huibao obviously knew Qi Mo Nan, and expressed its goodwill to Qi Mo Nan, gently touching Qi Mo Nan's trouser leg with the tip of its nose, which was a treatment that others did not have.

Qi Mo Nan squatted down and stroked Hui Bao, "Little guy, you still recognize me, you are so smart."

Song Ziyi looked very proud. "That's right, Gray Bao is very smart. He can remember the route after walking with me once. His nose is also very sensitive. No matter where I hide something, he can find it. He is really amazing."

Qi Mo Nan stroked Hui Bao again and said, "He will be even more powerful in the future. But he is a wolf after all. He has no wildness like a dog. You must teach him well and discipline him."

His sister had also said the same thing, and Ziyi had always kept it in mind. Every day when he had free time, he would take the two wolf cubs out to play, training them to obey his commands while playing.

"Yes, I can." Song Ziyi nodded vigorously, and pestered Qi Mo'nan to tell him about the interesting things he encountered during his long business trip.

Qi Mo Nan really likes Song Ziyi. He treats him more than just a brother-in-law. He has long treated him like his own brother.

Song Ziyi also truly likes Qi Mo Nan, and her admiration for him is second only to her sister.

Some true feelings cannot be hidden or acted out.

Song Yun left the military academy. Qi Mo Nan didn't even have dinner. He took Bai Qingxia to prepare food and went straight back to school.

After leaving the training ground, Song Yun went back to the dormitory to take a shower, changed into dry clothes, took her lunch box and left the dormitory, ready to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

As soon as she left the dormitory building, Song Yun saw a familiar figure.
