Xiao An Nuan's birthday party was very lively.

Because the baby looks like her mother, she has been cute and beautiful since she was little, with big, bright eyes that are especially endearing.

Not only Grandpa Meng, but even three-year-old Ji Linfeng adored this little sister.

At this moment, the old man was playing with Xiao Annuan, while Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen took the opportunity to sit in the small garden outside the hotel.

However, just as she stepped out of the hall, she ran into Lu Chi.

Lu Chi, dressed in a silver-gray suit, was still as spirited as ever, but had become much more composed, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

Can we talk?

These words were spoken to Mu Xiaocheng.

Ji Huaishen frowned, his gaze sharp as he looked at Lu Chi. He was about to speak when Mu Xiaocheng stopped him.

Mu Xiaocheng squeezed his hand and whispered, "Wait for me a moment."

Although Ji Huaishen was very unwilling, he endured it because it was Xiao Annuan's birthday party today.

"I'll only give you ten minutes."

He glanced at his wristwatch and said in a detached tone.

These words were clearly meant for Lu Chi's ears.

Lu Chi gave him a roguish smile and made an OK sign.

Ji Huaishen watched the two figures walk towards the small garden, his thin lips pressed tightly together.

-

"I'm going to the border next week, and this may be the last time we see each other."

Although it was a farewell speech, Lu Chi's tone was very relaxed.

Hearing his words, Mu Xiaocheng paused in her steps: "When are you coming back?"

She knew that Lu Chi always had his own mission; he was a national hero and the pride of all of them.

Lu Chi put one hand in his pocket, looked into the distance, and said, "I don't know. Perhaps I'll spend the rest of my life stationed there."

Upon hearing his answer, Mu Xiaocheng's eyes flickered.

"Then... be careful."

To this day, she still doesn't know what her relationship with him really is.

Perhaps, we are friends.

Lu Chi curled his lips and looked at her, something still flickering in his eyes.

"Mu Xiaocheng, I want you to be happy. More than anyone else."

"I used to be madly in love with you; you occupied my entire youth. Back then, I was young and impetuous, wanting you to remember me and belong to me, so I did a lot of ridiculous and absurd things."

"But I never regret it, because that kind of reckless impulsiveness is what youth is all about."

I have never regretted trying my best to enter your life, even though I was hurt beyond recognition.

Hearing Lu Chi say these things, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly felt a little sad.

Yes, even if she never liked Lu Chi, she was a part of Lu Chi's youth.

Even if she doesn't like it, she should still respect it.

She lowered her head and listened quietly to what he had to say.

Looking at the distant sky, Lu Chi slowly said, "My mother was framed by Zhou Guangbo's people and became addicted to drugs. She went insane, lost her newborn sister, and almost killed my father. She's still locked up in a mental hospital. Since I was little, I've hoped that I could become a hero and rid the people of this scourge, eliminating everyone connected to drugs."

"When I was a child, I was aloof and indifferent, and I had a wild nature. But after meeting you, I found that it seems that being a little wild can attract your attention."

"Mu Xiaocheng, if, I mean if, I had..."

"Lu Chi".

Mu Xiaocheng seemed to know what he wanted to say and interrupted him without hesitation.
