As expected, the Japanese set their sights on Li Xiyue and tried to capture her several times.

Li Xiyue asked again, "So, transferring me to the countryside in the southern province was also an arrangement made by your military?"

"yes."

There were too many educated youths sent to the countryside in Northeast China, and there were many uncertainties. In order to ensure Li Xiyue's safety to the greatest extent, the higher authorities changed her destination to this place.

Just as I expected.

Everything was pretty much as Li Xiyue had guessed.

No wonder the military went to great lengths to protect the original owner of this body. It's just a pity that the original owner wasn't captured by the Japanese, but died at the hands of Li Muqing and her brother.

We guarded against enemy agents and Japanese devils, but we couldn't guard against thieves within our own ranks.

Man proposes, God disposes.

"So your mission here is to protect me?" Li Xiyue asked again.

Chu Xun nodded.

Protecting Li Xiyue is one of his tasks; he also needs to find out the identity and true purpose of the person behind the scenes.

Li Xiyue smiled and said, "No wonder you're so good to me."

"Protecting you is my mission, but being good to you is my true feeling," Chu Xun said softly, taking a step forward.

Seeing the growing fervor in his eyes, Li Xiyue realized something, "Brother Chu, you..."

"Yes." Chu Xun didn't avoid her questioning gaze, bravely stepped forward, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "I like you."

Li Xiyue was surprised; she hadn't expected him to say it so bluntly.

"During these days with you, I've become deeply attracted to you. I'm certain of my feelings for you, and I don't want you to guess my thoughts. I want to tell you my feelings clearly."

"I know I'm several years older than you and not the best match for you, but I will do everything I can to love you, pamper you, and protect you."

“I know you have plans for your life. I will not ask you to change any of your principles for me. To me, you are first and foremost yourself. You can do whatever you want, and I will never restrict your freedom.”

At this point, he took a step back, saluted her, and said each word with firm conviction, "And I will be loyal to the country and to you for the rest of my life."

Loyal to the country, loyal to her?

What a powerful vow!

Li Xiyue was deeply shocked. Having lived two lives, this was undoubtedly the most touching confession she had ever heard.

She smiled happily, a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that she didn't refuse but instead smiled, Chu Xun was secretly delighted and tentatively asked, "Comrade Xiyue?"

“Comrade Chu Xun, I do have my own plans, but from now on, I can include you in my plans as well,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.

Her principle is: better to have none than to have something of poor quality.

She might choose to remain single until she meets the right person, but once she does, she'll seize the opportunity.

Chu Xun is good-looking, skilled in martial arts, and a great cook. He is also a soldier she trusts. She believes that this time, she will not misjudge him again!

Chu Xun excitedly stepped forward, wanting to reach out and pull her, but he restrained himself. "You agree to date me?"

“Of course, with someone as outstanding as you, I don’t think I have any reason to refuse.” Li Xiyue reached out and grasped his hand. “Comrade Chu Xun, please guide me in the future.”

Chu Xun held her hand tightly, his voice still resolute, "In this life, Chu Xun will not fail the country, nor will he fail you!"
