Valerie was walking briskly, trying her best to keep up with Luca Di.

The two weren't chatting and laughing; they seemed to be discussing some serious business.

But there was always a faint blush on her cheeks, as if she were feeling a little shy for some reason.

"Commander... I... I'm not really good enough... I've only been here for a day..."

"The 11th Regiment lets its strength speak for itself. As long as you have the strength, that's fine. If you refuse, it's tantamount to questioning my decision."

"Ah, no, no, that's not what I meant... I'm just worried that people won't be used to it or something..."

"Habits are formed."

"Okay...I...I'll definitely try my best!"

“The group leaders meet every Monday morning at 8:00 in the main conference room to summarize all the tasks of the previous week. The regimental commanders, deans of departments, and chief lecturers of departments attend the meeting to learn. Tomorrow is Monday. As the formation group leader of our 11th Regiment, remember to summarize the details of this task clearly. This is a collective meeting of regiments 1 through 50. Don’t be so hesitant. It’s embarrassing.”

“Uh…yes! I understand!” Valerie suddenly straightened her back.

Those behind him broke out in a cold sweat.

That girl is only 16 years old, and you're letting her get involved with things of this level?!

Isn't that too cruel?!

What's the difference between this and a biological father who raises a son?!

Beast!

Logically speaking, people who should be jealous of Valerie are simply unable to feel jealous because this situation is so extreme.

And so, one by one, they began to feel genuine sympathy for that innocent figure from behind...

Wang Xuefeng spotted Xiao He parked her car by the roadside early on, and after reporting that he had left the group, he walked straight toward her.

Lucadi naturally wouldn't stop them, but some people at the back of the group were still unhappy.

Valerie's gaze followed Wang Xuefeng's departure and she also clearly saw Xiao He and her car. She was even taken aback when she saw Pattika.

My first thought was that she had come to pick me up, but upon closer inspection, her expression didn't seem like it.

Lucadi noticed Valerie's gaze, but since the two had already finished their conversation, it didn't matter if she paid attention to other things.

"Did your friend come to pick you up?" Lucadi asked.

"Uh, um." Valerie, having been told this once, dared not hesitate any longer.

"Then go ahead, but don't forget what I just said."

"Mission accomplished!"

Valerie gave a serious military salute, but it always felt a bit childish.

After a while, Lucadi was suddenly amused by her expression.

Patika, sitting in the car, paused again, completely losing the courage to open the car door.

She subconsciously tried to look for Xiao He, but found that the latter had already left the car and was heading towards Wang Xuefeng from a distance.

Welcome back, Warriors!

Xiao He leaped with the momentum of a three-step layup, throwing himself into Wang Xuefeng's arms as if he were the ball.

"Damn it..." The latter felt a sharp pain in his chest as he answered.

In the past two years, Xiao He has only grown five centimeters taller, and is now a steady 1.55 meters tall.

So Wang Xuefeng had to put his arm around her waist, otherwise his neck would probably be snapped.

"He seems to be getting more and more clingy..." Wang Xuefeng thought to himself.

"The main reason for clinginess is a lack of security..."

"A sense of security... When did she develop this feeling..."

Wang Xuefeng rarely had anything he couldn't figure out, but he hadn't guessed Xiao He's change in front of him.

It was clearly just dependence and habit at first.

Xiao He held him with the same tightness as he had held a plush toy the night before, almost suffocating him.

She wanted to say she was worried, but she had never said that before.

So we won't say anything now either.

Watching Xiao He flaunt his affections as if no one else was around, everyone felt a strange sense of melancholy.

After all, before she arrived, the 11th Regiment was full of precious single people.

The reason for choosing a team led by "King of Singles" Luca Di was naturally to avoid suffering spiritual trauma during the mission.

However, it now seems that this "continuous damage" is unavoidable.

Fortunately, Xiao He did not do anything particularly harmful to them.

It rubbed against Wang Xuefeng's neck for a moment, then jumped down on its own.

Apart from Wang Xuefeng, no one present had ever experienced such a soft and fragrant embrace.

They also conveniently forgot about Lucadi's rescue of Pattika, even though Lucadi himself had no recollection of any "details".

But Patika couldn't forget, especially when she saw Xiao He in that familiar pose.

I remember when I was taken aboard the spaceship, I was also tightly choking Lucadi's neck like this.

However, at that time it was out of fear, not affection.

"Hi--"

Realizing that Patika had no intention of getting off the bus, Xiao He, in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, went up to Valerie, who was carrying various documents, and gave her a high five.

"Welcome back!" Xiao He said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Valerie was flattered. "I didn't expect you to come to the port."

“I have plenty of time,” Xiao He coughed to cover up his embarrassment. “Patika asked to come along, but there are too many people here, and she might be afraid to get out of the car.”

“Haha, that’s right, Patika doesn’t like meeting strangers,” Valerie replied cheerfully.

After saying that, she turned and waved to Lucadi, "Goodbye, Captain! Oh no, see you tomorrow!"

"Hmm." Lucadi nodded and continued leading the team forward without pausing.

"What's wrong with you? Is your heart pounding?" Xiao He teased deliberately.
