"What? You're going to the military camp too?" Aunt Shen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly angrily scolded, "Your brother has no other choice, so why are you going to the military camp?"
Shen Baiying turned pale for a moment, then quickly returned to his calm demeanor and said seriously, “Now that I’m in this situation, I might as well follow Brother Pei to the military camp to learn medical skills and save the dying and the wounded.”
Aunt Shen listened to Shen Baiying's words, and the anger on her face gradually subsided. She asked hesitantly: "Have you decided? Are you going to the military camp with the second son of the Pei family?"
Shen Baiying nodded heavily and answered firmly: “Yes, mother, I have decided.”
Aunt Shen was silent for a while.
Shen Qianye helped persuade her, saying, "Mom, it's a good idea for Bai Ying to study medicine in the military camp. Not only will she avoid the gossips of the neighbors, but she will also have her own path in life."
Li Sisi also helped to persuade her: "Auntie, they are all in the same military camp and can take care of each other. Don't worry."
Aunt Shen was persuaded by them one by one, and the tense expression on her face relaxed a little.
She took Shen Baiying's hand and warned: "Since you have made up your mind, mother will not stop you. When you get to the military camp, you must take good care of your second brother. You have to be more careful about his food, clothing and clothing, and look after him more."
After Aunt Shen finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qianye again and said worriedly: "Come home often when you have time, don't let your mother worry all the time at home alone. If you are busy and have no time to come back, write a letter home, then your mother will be relieved."
Seeing that his mother finally stopped pestering him, Shen Qianye climbed onto the horse, lowered his head and said with a comforting smile: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you as long as I am free."
Aunt Shen looked at Shen Qianye reluctantly, and finally a relieved smile appeared on her face: “Okay, go slowly on the road, and don’t rush that moment.”
Shen Baiying said comfortingly: "Mom, the military camp is only more than 20 miles away from us. If my second brother goes now, he might be able to catch up with the military camp's dinner!"
Aunt Shen rolled her eyes at her and said, "Be careful!"
Shen Baiying curled her lips and said, "Second brother's riding skills are among the best in Dong'an City. It's such a short distance, what can go wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen poked her forehead and said, "Can you please pay more attention to your second brother? When you got into trouble before, your second brother was worried about you all day long!"
Shen Baiying’s eyes darkened, and she replied softly: “Mom is right, I will pay attention to it in the future.”

At sunset, the rays of the setting sun shine through the clouds onto the solemn and majestic government office, and together with the sky with lingering golden afterglow, they paint a magnificent oil painting.
Li Sisi, dressed in a dark official robe, walked out of the government office gate. Her long hair was tied up on her head with a black crown, which set off her fair cheeks as flawless as white jade. She greeted other yamen runners with a smile on her lips.
When he saw Pei Yanli standing not far from the government office gate, his glass-like eyes suddenly lit up with an unexpected light, and he ran towards him with big strides.
"Are you getting impatient waiting? The government office is a bit busy today, so it's much later than usual."
"It wasn't long." Pei Yanli saw beads of sweat on her forehead and took out a pure white handkerchief and handed it to her. His usually cold voice was now full of tenderness, "Wipe your sweat."
Li Sisi naturally took the handkerchief from his hand and wiped it, saying seriously: "Next time if it's still this late, you shouldn't keep waiting, or you can go directly to the government office to urge them!"
As she walked back, she continued, "Sometimes I get so busy that I forget the time. It was Old Tong who reminded me today, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it was so late."
Pei Yanli smiled and walked back in step with her. His tender eyes were fixed on the energetic girl beside him. He listened to her chattering and found it very interesting.
He took out a small piece of cloth and said in a low and serious voice, "I bought this on the way. You must be a little hungry at this time. Eat this to fill your stomach first."
Li Sisi watched him untie the white cloth with his long fingers, revealing the pure white food inside. She exclaimed in surprise, "Is it ice cream? Can I still buy ice cream at this time?"
Pei Yanli curled his lips, lowered his eyes and said affectionately: "Knowing that you like to eat his ice cream, I ordered a batch in advance. Every time I come to pick you up in the future, I will bring you some until you get tired of it."
Although Li Sisi knew that Pei Yanli had always been aggressive and straightforward in their relationship, with the confidence that he would win.
But she never expected that since she agreed to give it a try, Pei Yanli's attitude towards her has become more straightforward and honest, so much so that she now feels that she is Pei Yanli's legitimate girlfriend.
Li Sisi, who was always carefree, suddenly became shy like a little girl. She puffed her cheeks and was silent for a moment before saying, "You don't have to be like this..."
Li Sisi stopped talking here and didn't know what to say next. She just felt touched in her heart because of him.
Pei Yanli's deep voice was filled with affection: "Sisi, I did all this voluntarily. I just want you to see how much I care about you."
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi quickly nodded and said, "I feel it." After saying this, she felt regretful again. She was so stupid to say that!
As expected, the man opposite chuckled and said, "Shall we go home?"
"Oh, okay." Li Sisi walked while eating pastries.
By the time they finished eating the cakes, they had already left the government office gate, crossed the busiest streets, and arrived at the streets near their home.
After Li Sisi finished eating, she wiped her hands with the handkerchief Pei Yanli handed her.
Pei Yanli kept a close eye on her movements the whole time.
I saw her put the handkerchief away and let her hands hang empty at her sides.
Pei Yanli tentatively stretched out his hand slowly, carefully touching her fingers, and gradually became more and more presumptuous and shook hands with Li Sisi's hand hanging by her side.
Looking down at her fair cheeks flushed, but she showed no sign of resistance, Pei Yanli's heart beat faster and faster, and his body unconsciously moved closer to her.
The soft touch in his hand made Pei Yanli feel a surge of emotions in his heart.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the two men form a pair. The man, who is obviously tall and has long legs, deliberately slows down his pace, just hoping that this bright road will be longer and longer.
The two seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them, romantic and heart-warming.
Walking back, passing Pei's house, Li Sisi let go of her hand: "Well, we're here."
Pei Yanli was still not satisfied, so he bent down and held her hand again: "I'll take you home first."
Li Sisi was held by his hand again, and when she looked up, she met his deep and serious black eyes. Her heart seemed to be hit by his strong gaze and suddenly palpitated.
Just as I was about to withdraw my hand to refuse, I suddenly heard a surprised voice.
"Yanli? Sisi?"
