He couldn't understand why he was so worried about her. Ever since he met Lin Jin, he found his emotions easily swayed by her. When he couldn't see her, her smile and her voice would involuntarily float into his mind; the longing was like a tide, wave after wave, irresistible to him. This troubled him greatly. He had always been a rational and calm person, but in front of Lin Jin, he completely lost his composure.

Now, hearing that Lin Jin had returned home, his heart suddenly raced, and a nameless anxiety welled up inside him. He wondered if something had happened at home, or if Lin Jin had encountered any trouble. He felt like a headless fly, his mind a jumbled mess, wanting nothing more than to see Lin Jin immediately and confirm that she was safe and sound.

Lin Jin, unable to secure a sleeper berth, was crammed into a hard-seat carriage. The carriage was a cacophony of noises, a mingled stench of sweat and foot odor that made one dizzy. Lin Jin wrinkled his nose, struggling to find a slightly more spacious corner in the crowd. Just then, a thief spotted Lin Jin's wallet on his small suitcase. He casually approached, then swiftly reached out when no one was looking. Just as the thief's hand was about to touch the wallet, Lin Jin suddenly turned and accurately grabbed the thief's wrist. The thief was startled and tried to break free, only to find Lin Jin's strength astonishing. The commotion drew the attention of those around, who began to criticize the thief. Enraged, the thief glared fiercely at Lin Jin and pulled a small knife from his pocket. Lin Jin remained fearless, skillfully dodging the thief's attack and even kicking him in the knee, sending the thief sprawling to his knees. A round of applause erupted from the crowd. Meanwhile, Gong Moze was extremely anxious. He immediately decided to take a vacation and go to Suzhou City to see Lin Jin as soon as possible and confirm her safety.

Chief Yu was sitting in his office processing documents when Gong Moze walked in anxiously. Seeing his hurried expression and furrowed brow, Chief Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking something terrible had happened at home. He quickly put down his pen, stood up, and asked with concern, "Little Gong, what's wrong? You look so flustered. Is something wrong at home? Tell me in detail, and I'll do everything I can to help."

Gong Moze quickly explained, "Commander, it's not about family. I just wanted to go to Suzhou to see a comrade-in-arms. He hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm quite worried about him." Upon hearing this, Commander Yu's heart finally settled, and the worry on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a gentle smile. He walked to Gong Moze's side, gently patted his shoulder, and jokingly said, "Young people should go out and see the world more often. Staying in the army all day, your activity range is so small, where are you going to find a wife? The outside world is wonderful, maybe you'll find your soulmate after a trip out."

After saying that, Commander Yu quickly picked up a pen and signed Gong Moze's leave slip, muttering as he did so: "Go, go, go see your comrades, be careful, and come back soon."

Gong Moze received the approved leave slip and was filled with gratitude. He gave Commander Yu a standard military salute and said loudly, "Thank you, Commander! I will definitely return to the unit as soon as possible."

After leaving the office, Gong Moze didn't waste a moment. He returned to his dormitory, quickly packed a few simple belongings, including a few changes of clothes and some local specialties from the military, intending to take them to his comrades. He would definitely visit old friends in Suzhou!

He was extremely anxious, hoping to see his comrades-in-arms as soon as possible.

Gong Moze rushed to the station and bought a ticket for the next train to Suzhou. Sitting on the train, he looked at the scenery rushing past the window, and his mind kept replaying the memories he had shared with Lin Jin.

Meanwhile, in Suzhou, the sun was shining brightly, and the streets were bustling with traffic and people.

Lin Jin was carrying bags and packages, looking around as if searching for something.

A young man in military uniform ran towards Lin Jin. "Hello! Are you Dr. Lin?"

Lin Jin nodded. The young man quickly smiled and said, "I'm Commander Fu's bodyguard. Commander Fu had something come up today, so he asked me to pick you up!" He took Lin Jin's luggage, and Lin Jin followed the bodyguard into the car. The two chatted briefly along the way. Soon they arrived at Commander Fu's military region. As soon as Lin Jin got out of the car, she saw Commander Fu standing at the door, smiling and waiting for her. Commander Fu, looking energetic, walked steadily towards her. "Little Jin, you must be tired from your journey." Lin Jin smiled and replied, "Grandpa, it's nothing. I'm so happy to see you."

Commander Fu led Lin Jin into the house, and the guards left after putting away the luggage. The two sat in the living room, and Commander Fu inquired about Lin Jin's college entrance examination results with concern. Lin Jin confidently replied that she felt pretty good about it.
