Ruan Ruan was surprised by Jiang Yuli's answer. Looking at the two people sitting in front of her, Ruan Ruan felt that they were a good match at this moment, so she gave her a thumbs up and said, "You're strong, I admire you. Every pot has its lid, this is just right."

"But you, I knew before that Battalion Commander Huo had a fiancée, but I never heard that his fiancée was Gu Jinghe's cousin?" Jiang Yuli understood Ruan Ruan's meaning and didn't say much, but now she asked with some curiosity about the relationship between the three of them.

"Here's what happened..." Then Ruan Ruan recounted how she got lost, how she ended up at the Huo family, how she was found, and the details of her marriage.

"Oh...it seems you two have quite a connection!" After listening to Ruan Ruan recount her extraordinary first 18 years of life, Jiang Yuli thought that fate was truly a wondrous thing.

"Hehe..." Jiang Yuli said that they had a deep connection. Ruan Ruan didn't respond, but just smiled happily. She also felt that they were very destined for each other.

Huo Haocheng watched Ruan Ruan quietly from the side, listening to her chat with her friends. He saw how happy she was because of other people's blessings to them, and he quietly put food on her plate and ate the food she didn't like.

Gu Jinghe couldn't quite understand the two women's conversation, but he could see Huo Haocheng. When Huo Haocheng served food to Ruan Ruan, he served food to Jiang Yuli. When Huo Haocheng served soup to Ruan Ruan, he served soup to Jiang Yuli. The other three noticed what he was doing. Ruan Ruan winked at Jiang Yuli and asked her what she thought. Jiang Yuli smiled and thought he did a great job, that he was a promising young man.

After dinner, Gu Jinghe took Jiang Yuli back to the hospital to continue working, while Huo Haocheng took Ruan Ruan to the cinema. Today's screening was "The Shining Red Star," which tells the story of Pan Dongzi, a young hero who grew up amidst hardship. A red heart, the faith of a generation. When Ruan Ruan saw Dongzi's mother calmly face her death, she cried uncontrollably. When she saw the young man calmly and bravely outwit and outfight the enemy, finally taking their head, Ruan Ruan clapped and cheered. When she saw Dongzi finally become a true soldier like his father, Ruan Ruan smiled with satisfaction. His life's perseverance had led to this moment.

Huo Haocheng hadn't expected that this film would be shown today. As a soldier, he admired her greatly. Seeing Ruan Ruan crying and laughing while watching the film, he didn't know how to tell her, especially the scene of her mother's death. As soldiers, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for their country, but he didn't want the young girl to live in fear for him every day. All he could do was love her and pamper her while he was alive.

After the movie, Ruan Ruan's voice was a little hoarse. Huo Haocheng bought her a bottle of water, and the two drank it together before going home.

On the way back, the two didn't talk much. Ruan Ruan thought for a long time and then said to him seriously, "From now on, no matter what mission you do, you have to tell me. If there's a dangerous mission, take 520 with you. He can help you."

"Okay," Huo Haocheng patted Ruan Ruan's head and answered seriously.

Back at the family compound, Ruan Ruan had calmed down and helped Huo Haocheng move all his things into the house.

"These are too big, I'll carry them, you go inside and dismantle them."

Ruan Ruan glanced at the remaining packages, then at her own arms; she truly couldn't lift them. Without a second thought, she turned and went inside to begin unpacking. The items were mostly for Ruan Ruan, sent from the Huo family.

The two of them worked together to dismantle and organize everything; by then it was almost dark.

"Let's just grab something simple to eat today," Ruan Ruan said, looking at the groceries she had bought. "How about noodles and two fried eggs?"

"Okay, I'll start the fire first." Huo Haocheng then started the fire, while Ruan Ruan washed the pot and fried eggs. Huo Haocheng then began kneading the dough. The two worked together to prepare their first meal.

After eating and taking a shower, the two lay in bed.

"Little sister, if I sacrifice myself that day, you can be sad for a while, but don't be sad for too long, otherwise I'm afraid I won't want to leave." Ever since they came out of the movie, Huo Haocheng had been holding back his emotions. He had also thought about how sad the little girl in his arms would be if he couldn't come back one day.

"I won't cry. If you dare to die, I'll definitely turn around and marry myself off," Ruan said firmly.

"...Okay, that works too." The thought of his girl in someone else's arms drove Huo Haocheng mad with jealousy, but if he died, then...

"Waaah, brother!" Ruan Ruan hugged Huo Haocheng, unable to accept that Huo Haocheng had died in front of her.

“Brother, remember this: no matter what, as long as you come back alive, I will definitely save you. My medical skills are very good. If all else fails, I will go to my master. My master left without saying goodbye two years ago, but I know that Grandpa knows where he is and why he is so skilled. I just didn’t ask. Grandpa said that if anyone asks about my master, I should say I don’t know.”

Ruan Ruan cried very sadly, firstly because she thought about what would happen if Huo Haocheng were gone one day, and secondly because her master left without saying goodbye.

This master, named Bai Zhu (pronounced zhu, a Chinese medicinal herb), was a renowned physician before the liberation, saving countless lives on the battlefield. According to the system, Bai Zhu's master wanted to marry his daughter to him before his death, but Bai Zhu refused because he already had a sweetheart. Later, he and his sweetheart traveled to Shen City, where they met Huo Jiangchun, the eldest son of the Huo family, a philanthropist in Shen City. Then, news spread that his sweetheart had passed away. Later, due to political turmoil, the Huo family disbanded, and Huo Jiangchun and Bai Zhu reappeared on the battlefield. When the war ended and rewards were distributed, the two suddenly disappeared, and no one knew their whereabouts.

"Okay, I will definitely come back alive." Huo Haocheng hugged Ruan Ruan tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

You promised.

"Yes, I promise. Be good, don't cry. It hurts my heart to see you cry." Huo Haocheng gently kissed away her tears, kissing her eyes again and again, and tenderly kissing her lips.

"Hmm........"

"younger sister"

You are mine, and only mine.

I am yours, and only yours.

..................................

In the middle of the night, Huo Haocheng looked at Ruan Ruan sleeping beside him, gently stroked her flushed cheeks with his large hand, pulled her into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep. He finally understood the meaning of "the spring night is too short and the sun rises too high," and "from then on, the emperor will not hold court in the morning."
