"Shengnan, although you didn't think about the reward when you helped her, Zhou Zhiqing also has his own standards! Just keep the things safe, and Zhou Zhiqing will feel relieved. He will understand that you have repaid him for saving his life, and you will not bother him with this matter in the future. Don't refuse, just eat these things, and don't look for him secretly in the future. If others see you, your reputation will be ruined. After Xuemei finished speaking, she pointed her finger at Shengnan's forehead." Xuemei explained.

"Sister, I never thought of bothering him with this favor in the future."

"Shengnan, I know you haven't thought about it this way. Although Zhou Zhiqing seems nice now, we don't know what he's thinking. Do you still remember the little boy who was taken away by someone last time and whom my father rescued?"

Xuemei looked at Shengnan and nodded before continuing, "When the little boy's parents came to express their gratitude, my father refused to accept the gifts they brought. He said he was a soldier and that this was his duty, so why would he accept their gifts? Later, my father heard the couple's hidden meaning. They were afraid that my father would use this favor to force them to do things they couldn't do, and then they would be in a dilemma. So my father accepted all the gifts and put their minds at ease."

Xuemei cleared her throat and continued, "Actually, I didn't understand it at first either. From my understanding of my father, he would never accept these things. It wasn't until I was in high school that I remembered this and asked my parents about it. They explained it to me in detail, and then I finally understood."

"Sister, I understand. I accepted his things. I will pay attention to the influence in the future and not have much contact with those male educated youth." Shengnan said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, you'll be fine tomorrow. I'm going home."
