Thinking of the kindness he had received from others, Xiao Xueyi kept it in his heart, thinking that if he were to fight on the battlefield in the future, he would also charge forward unconditionally, at least he would risk his life to protect Xie Zhiyan.
With such a leader, he felt full of motivation.

After the scorching midday sun, it was evening.
Shu Ying and Song Zhaodi cooked a sumptuous dinner together.
Song Zhaodi hadn't originally intended to ask for help, but Shu Ying couldn't stay idle, so she only helped chop the side dishes and wash the vegetables. Song Zhaodi handled the rest with ease.
"Mom, you'll be taking a bus soon, and you don't know when you'll get to work. Eat more at home. Also, I bought some fruit at the market for you to take with you on the way."
Shu Ying helped bring out the bowls and chopsticks, and Xie Zhiyan served rice to everyone. Song Zhaodi felt a little reluctant, but she also understood that Huang Meiling could not stay here for a long time, so she could only keep nagging and reminding her.
Huang Meiling, holding chopsticks, pulled Song Zhaodi down to sit with her.
"There's more food than we can finish, so there's no need to cook anymore. Your dad and I will be back soon, so don't worry about us."
Song Zhaodi couldn't help but tear up. She had only just found her biological mother, and now the two of them had to part ways. This feeling was even more painful than never having had her at all.
Shu Ying held chopsticks in her hand, serving food to the two of them and trying to smooth things over.
"Sister, there's only a week left. When the results come out, Mom and Dad will definitely come back. Then our family can have a proper reunion, right? Just think of Mom as going on a trip. When they come back, our whole family will go to the station to pick them up."
Huang Meiling was reluctant to leave, but the situation was beyond her control, and she had to hurry back.
"Yingying is right. We'll see each other again soon. The food won't taste good if it gets cold. Let's eat quickly."
Xie Zhiyan served Shu Ying a bowl of soup. The dinner table was not as lively as yesterday, and even Yueyue and Yangyang were reluctant to part.
Shu Ying understood this feeling very well, especially when she saw that Song Zhaodi had specially made her favorite salted duck on the table.
When her parents were still alive, she would always eat this dish, and salted duck was her mother's specialty.
The taste of Song Zhaodi's cooking was almost identical to that of her mother's cooking. As Shu Ying ate it, she couldn't help but recall the past.
Her parents are still alive, and she has two lovely children. However, in just a few short years, everything has changed, and she doesn't know how long it has been since she last saw her parents.
Now that they've arrived in the capital, there's not even time to sweep their graves.
Shu Ying lowered her head, concealing the bitterness in her heart.
"Mom, try this steamed sea bass that my sister made. I'm sure you'll love it. The first time I had it, I thought it tasted amazing. My sister and I bought it this afternoon at the market. We picked out the biggest and freshest ones. The fish was still jumping around when we bought it. You might not even find the same taste in restaurants."
Shu Ying removed the bones from the sea bass and placed it in Huang Meiling's bowl. Yueyue's face scrunched up in a tight frown.
"Grandma, please tell us in advance when you come back next time, okay? That way my brother and I can come and pick you up together. If you tell us a day earlier, we can be happy for another day. If you tell us two days earlier, we can be happy for two more days. Anyway, my brother and I will miss you."
