Bai Shuang can now go for a walk with Song Yan every day. Although its appetite is not as good as before, at least it can eat.

Bai Shuang actually obeyed most of the commands Song Yan gave it. This meant that Song Yan could adopt Bai Shuang without any problem.

The adoption procedures for Bai Shuang were handled with the help of the shelter's leaders. Bai Shuang's situation was special; its survival was everyone's hope.

Bai Shuang's condition improved, and the adoption issue was resolved. Bai Shuang's doctor then performed a minor surgery on Bai Shuang's injured leg to remove the loose bone fragments from the injury.

Another question to consider is whether the white frost can be taken on the train.

Captain Fan has resolved this matter. There's a freight train carrying military supplies heading to J City, and he'll handle the arrangements.

From J City to the county seat, Division Commander Zhao contacted Du Feng, the former Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, who is now the Director. Zhao Qiang, then Deputy Division Commander, had worked with him to capture the spy. Having fought side-by-side, they would certainly help with this small matter.

Song Yan patted Bai Shuang's head, "So many people are working hard for you. You have to live up to their expectations too!"

The return date had been set, and both of them were somewhat reluctant to part. Especially Wei Aiguo, who was troubled by the dream and was afraid.

"Is it because of what the older generation says that you have reservations?" Song Yan asked him.

Wei Aiguo held Song Yan in his arms, "I've had the same dream over and over again. It felt so real..."

Song Yan listened in astonishment as Wei Aiguo recounted the original story.

"I find it ridiculous that I took a dream so seriously. But I'm always afraid..." Wei Aiguo was conflicted!

Song Yan covered his mouth, stopping him from speaking. "We'll all be alright, the elders will be alright, the children will be alright..."

Wei Aiguo was a soldier under Battalion Commander Fan, and belonged to Division Commander Zhao's unit. Therefore, Division Commander Zhao, Deputy Division Commander Fang, and Battalion Commander Fan were also present when the dinner was held.

The location was a state-run hotel in the city.

Xu Liangsheng and his two companions traveled to the city by bus today with Wei Aiguo and the others.

Song Yan brought Bai Shuang with him, and now he wanted to let it come into contact with as many people as possible. The bus regulations weren't strict, and Bai Shuang also rode on the bus.

Today, Song Yan wore a high ponytail with a red handkerchief tied in her hair, which matched her red plaid long skirt perfectly, and she wore a pair of black leather shoes.

When Song Yan bought leather shoes, he only had black and brown options.

Wei Aiguo was dressed in a crisp military uniform.

When two people stand together, it's a combination of masculine and feminine beauty.

The only drawback is the splint on the injured arm, which is a bit of an eyesore.

Bai Shuang slowly let Song Yan lead her.

Qiu Hai and the others complimented the men on their handsomeness and the women on their beauty. Wei Aiguo didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he was quite happy.

Young people admire the strong.

After Wei Aiguo regained the ability to move his legs, he began to move around. They took Wei Aiguo to the military camp.

Commander He provided maximum convenience without violating principles. He was also curious about the combat hero.

At the shooting range, Wei Aiguo fired a rifle with one hand, and his firing speed and accuracy were comparable to those of soldiers who used two hands.

From that day on, Xu Liangsheng and his group revolved around Wei Aiguo.

Song Yan asked Wei Aiguo, "This isn't your best performance, is it?"

Wei Aiguo's laughter is a radiant, spirited laugh.

From the moment I met him, his behavior was, to put it nicely, quite composed; to be honest, he seemed rather dull most of the time.

This was the first time I'd ever seen him smile like that.

Perhaps he's suited to be a soldier; he has a place here...

Song Yan and his wife walked behind, while their three sons played and frolicked in front of them.

A middle-aged woman was selling popsicles by the roadside. The words "popsicles" were written on a large wooden box.

"Qiu Hai, stop right there! I'll treat you to popsicles!" Song Yan called out to them.

The group looked embarrassed and said, "We're not children!"

"Fine, don't eat then!" Song Yan pulled Wei Aiguo along. "Come on, let's eat together!"

No matter how delicious popsicles are now, can they compare to the ice cream of the future? It's all about the feeling.

The woman selling popsicles heard the three men refuse. "Are you all fools? It's so hot, and I'm offering you popsicles, why don't you want them?"

Popsicles aren't expensive these days, only three cents, but they're definitely not something any kid can eat whenever they want.

Qiu Hai ran over first, and the woman selling popsicles handed him one. Xu Liangsheng and Wang Jinhui followed behind.

Five sticks cost 15 cents.

They passed by a park with benches for resting, so they sat down to relax.

Even under the shade of the trees, it felt incredibly stuffy. A refreshing popsicle made me feel completely comfortable.

They can see the state-run restaurant not far away from where they are sitting.

Today, when they went out for dinner, Deputy Commander Wang was dressed in civilian clothes. He saw these people sitting under the shade of a tree, walking towards them hand in hand with their wives.

Suddenly, a person darted out of the alley.

"Grab him! He's a thief! Stop the thief!"...

People on the street heard the shouts, and several young people gathered around.

This thief was surprisingly skilled in kung fu; he knocked down two of the people who rushed at him, and before they could react, he ran away.

Just then, Deputy Commander Wang came towards him.

Xu Liangsheng was about to dash over in a few quick movements when Song Yan grabbed him first, and then pulled the other two back with her.

In just a short while, the thief realized that Deputy Commander Wang was not easy to deal with, and he actually pulled out a knife.

The two men faced off.

Because the thief pulled out a knife, the others didn't dare to move forward.

Wei Aiguo quickly blocked the thief's rear.
