Yu Xiangyang helped An An sit down and returned the small maracas to him, not forgetting to tease him, "You carry this little thing around with you every day. Is this your special weapon?"

Yu Xiangyang went to tease Coco again.

He first touched her soft hair, and his heart softened. Then he pressed her chubby little face with his fingers and said disdainfully: "Little girl, why do you look like Cheng Jingmo?"

The cute little girl was so cute that she was being teased like this. She was shaking her hands happily and laughing.

Cheng Jingmo felt mixed emotions as he watched Yu Xiangyang teasing the two children with eyes full of love.

Fortunately, having these two children relieved Yu Xiangyang's depressed mood a lot.

Yu Xiangnian and her friends stayed in Nancheng for four days and took the train back to Beijing on Friday morning.

During these four days, every noon, Cheng Jingmo brought his well-fed children to accompany Yu Xiangyang.

When the child is sleepy, he sleeps in his bed, and when he is thirsty, he drinks water from the bottle.

Children urinate a lot, so Yu Xiangyang's bed is flooded at least once a day, which makes him numb.

On Thursday afternoon, Yu Xiangyang heard that his two children would go back the next day and felt very reluctant to let them go.

He touched the two children's heads and said reluctantly: "I don't know when I will see you again."

Cheng Jingmo said at the right time: "When you are discharged from the hospital, we can go to Beijing to see them."

Yu Xiangyang didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, Cheng Jingmo took the child back to his ward and said goodbye to Yu Xiangnian reluctantly.

Lin Ye ran so far just to visit them, but in the four days he was here, he only saw Yu Xiangyang once, and he felt very unwilling.

She stood at the door of the ward, silently asking herself three questions: Do I really have to see him? What should I say to him if I see him? What should I do if he gets angry?

Her answer was: She really wanted to meet him! When she met him, she would tell him that she didn't care what he looked like! But she didn't want to make him angry!

Lin Ye hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally she made a bold decision.

She covered her eyes with one hand and pushed the door open!

Yu Xiangyang caught a glimpse of Lin Ye's half figure and pulled the quilt over himself.

Lin Ye covered his eyes and couldn’t see anything, so he stood at the door and said, “Yu Xiangyang, I covered my eyes and couldn’t see anything, you don’t have to worry!”

Yu Xiangyang lifted the quilt a little and saw Lin Ye covering his eyes tightly with his right hand.

Lin Ye said loudly: "If you don't want me to see your appearance, then I won't see it! I came in to tell you that no matter what you become, I like you! You are the most handsome man I have ever seen!"

Lin just stood at the door and spoke so loudly that people in the next ward heard her confession, even the nurses and doctors heard it.

The nurses covered their mouths and laughed, "This girl is quite brave, the whole floor heard her confession!"

The older nurse said, "This girl is right! This is our country's hero. No matter what he becomes, he is the greatest in our hearts!"

Yu Xiangyang hid under the covers, unwilling to come out. He thought to himself, "Oh my god! He said he treated her like a child and a brother! Why does she have to covet him?! It's like she has a speaker in her mouth, the sound is so loud that everyone on the floor can hear it. How can he face people in the future?"

Lin also stood there and waited for a while, but did not get any response from Yu Xiangyang, but she was sure that Yu Xiangyang heard what she said.

She added, "Yu Xiangyang, I'm going back tomorrow. You should take good care of yourself. I'll be there whenever you want to see me!"

Yu Xiangyang’s inner thoughts: As long as you have any improper thoughts about me, I will not tell you to leave!

Lin Ye took a step back, closed the door, and took his hands off his eyes.

Then, she saw everyone looking at her with surprise and admiration.

Lin scratched his head embarrassedly, gave everyone an awkward smile, and quickly left.

Yu Xiangnian and the others went back the next day.

Cheng Jingmo still went to Yu Xiangyang's ward to accompany him. Without the two children, the atmosphere in the ward became much more tense, and both of them felt very uncomfortable.

On Monday, Yu Xiangnian returned to school.

Shi Mingyue asked with concern: "Yu Xiangnian, how are your husband and the others?"

Yu Xiangnian said truthfully, "Cheng Jingmo is fine and will recover soon. But Yu Xiangyang's burns are very serious and he doesn't want to see anyone."

Wen Qiuning, who was doing homework, paused for a moment.

Shi Mingyue asked again: "Where did it burn?"

"The burns affected his back, left arm, and most importantly, his face. He couldn't accept it for a while."

Wen Qiuning secretly exerted force on the hand holding the pen, and the blue veins on the back of his hand popped out.

Shi Mingyue said with regret and admiration: "It's a pity for such handsome men, but no matter what, they are still heroes in our hearts!"

Another half month passed in a flash.

Cheng Jingmo's legs were able to move slowly, and Yu Xiangyang's burns were also slowly healing.

That night, Yu Jiashun finally had time to go to the hospital.

He went to visit the wounded soldiers and finally came to Yu Xiangyang's ward.

Yu Xiangyang was leaning on the bed, in a daze.

"Dad, why are you here so late?" he asked, sitting up straight.

"Dad came to see you." Yu Jiashun pulled a chair and sat in front of the bed. "Dad is sorry for you. You have been in the hospital for such a long time, but I have never come to see you."

Yu Xiangyang had been beaten by Yu Jiashun since he was a child, and he was used to Yu Jiashun's harsh words. At this moment, Yu Jiashun's kind tone made him feel very uncomfortable.

Yu Xiangyang said awkwardly, "Dad, I'm fine."

Yu Jiashun said, "If you're okay, why don't you want to see anyone except me, your mother, and Cheng Jingmo? You even refused to see your eldest and second brothers when they came to see you."

Yu Xiangyang: “…”

Yu Jiashun said earnestly, "Xiangyang, you were the most mischievous child in the family when you were little, always the one who loved getting into trouble and getting beaten the most. But in the blink of an eye, you've grown up and become such an outstanding soldier. Dad is so proud of you."

"We are soldiers. Defending our country is our mission. Casualties and sacrifices are inevitable. I understand that you are in this state and it's hard to accept it for the time being. But it is precisely because we are soldiers that we shouldn't place too much emphasis on superficial things."

"A person's appearance is given by their parents, but the path they take is their own choice. Since you have chosen to be a soldier, while accepting the honor that this identity brings you, you should also calmly face the harm it may cause."
