Li Xiyue led everyone to choose a room, saying, "I've prepared quite a few rooms. One room for each of you should be enough. Choose whichever room you like."

"Great!" The girls laughed and ran off to check out each room.

After choosing their rooms, Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui shared one room, Xu Shanshan and Zhou Yunxia shared another, Uncle Xu and his grandson shared a room, Zhou Yunze shared a room, and Xu Baiwei shared a room.

Zhou Yunze and Xu Baiwei would not have shared a room with each other if they had no one to share with, saying that they were afraid Li Xiyue would have trouble managing it.

Li Xiyue didn't say much; as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.

"Weiwei, is it okay for you to live alone?" Li Xiyue asked as she helped Xu Baiwei put on her luggage.

This is the child's first time traveling far from home, and living alone in an unfamiliar place will probably be difficult for him.

"I can do it, Master," Xu Baiwei said with a smile.

After the New Year, she will be thirteen, or fourteen by the traditional Chinese age reckoning; she is already an adult.

Seeing that she had grown quite a bit taller and looked like a young woman, Li Xiyue smiled and asked, "Are you sure you're comfortable spending the New Year in Beijing with your grandparents?"

"Grandpa and Grandma are in good health. They heard that Master was getting married and supported me coming. I am Master's apprentice, so of course I have to come to Master's wedding." Xu Baiwei smiled broadly.

Li Xiyue patted her head and asked, "Are you capable of handling the work at the health center? Has anyone been giving you trouble?"

"Don't worry, Master, everything is fine. It's just that Weiwei misses you very much." Xu Baiwei said, hugging Li Xiyue, her eyes red.

Li Xiyue patted her back gently, "Master missed you too. Seeing that you are well, Master is relieved."

After the master and apprentice talked for a while, Li Xiyue went to look at the other people.

"Shanshan, Yunxia." Li Xiyue knocked on the door before entering the house.

The two women, who were also packing their luggage, got up and pulled her to sit on the bed to talk when they saw her arrive.

"Shanshan, how are things going with Zhou Zhiqing?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.

Being in love really does make people look better; Xu Shanshan looks much better than before after half a year apart.

Of course, her ointment also played a part.

Xu Shanshan nodded shyly, "It's fine."

"It's not just good, it's absolutely wonderful!" Zhou Yunxia complained to Li Xiyue, "Sister Xiyue, you don't know, I'm superfluous now. They often leave me alone to go on dates. Humph, they have no conscience."

“You can go on a date too. Isn’t your Chen Yu always watching over you?” Li Xiyue asked with a smile.

Zhou Yunxia blushed. "He's not from my family, and he hasn't always been by my side."

Chen Yu spends most of his time on missions, and we only see each other occasionally. Soldiers are cool, but we don't spend enough time with them.

"He hasn't been watching over you yet? He comes to see you whenever he has a spare moment."

Li Xiyue knew this; Chen Yu was truly sincere towards Zhou Yunxia. It was just that Chen Yu was a soldier and didn't have much time, but whenever he had time, he would definitely spend it with Zhou Yunxia.

Zhou Yunxia asked, "Sister Xiyue, Commander Chu is often away. Don't you mind?"

"I don't mind at all. He's busy with important national affairs, why would I mind? Besides, I have my own things to do too."

Don't you miss him?

"Think about it, just keep it to yourself. Life goes on as usual. We women can't just revolve around men and do nothing, can we?"

Xu Shanshan kept it in mind.

Zhou Yunxia nodded, "Sister Xiyue, you're right. Men aren't everything. It's good to have one, but you still have to live your life well even if you don't."

“That’s right.” Li Xiyue smiled and said, “Love yourself before loving others. No matter what, you must put yourself first.”

"No wonder Commander Chu is so infatuated with you." Zhou Yunxia covered her mouth and chuckled.

After joking around for a while, Li Xiyue went to talk to Huang Xinrui for a bit.

When Chu Xun learned that Li Xiyue's friends had arrived, he personally came to pick them up and take them to the state-run restaurant for dinner.
