"Yueyue, I'm sorry." Xiaobai timidly tugged at his dog head. "I shouldn't have left you alone to go out and wander around, causing you to be bullied by others."
Li Xiyue laughed, "Who can bully me? In the end, isn't it always me bullying others?"
Xiaobai was still filled with self-reproach, "But..."
"Xiaobai, you've done very well. Although you're my family, you're first and foremost yourself. You deserve your own life and your own freedom. I'm your loving family member, not a shackle that binds you. I just want you to be happy," Li Xiyue gently advised.
How could she be so weak that she needs a dog to protect her?
From the moment she rescued Xiaobai, all she wanted to do was take good care of it, to prevent it from going hungry or freezing again, and to prevent it from being bullied by others.
She let Xiaobai out of the space not so that it could guard the house, but so that it could be happier and freer.
She doesn't need it to do anything for her or give anything in return.
Xiao Bai rushed into her arms, moved, "Yueyue, you are so kind."
Li Xiyue stroked its soft fur and smiled.
"Congratulations, Commander Chu," Li Xiyue said with a smile, raising her glass in congratulations.
Chu Xun smiled and clinked glasses with her. "Thank you."
"When were you promoted?" Li Xiyue asked.
Chu Xun said, "Last time we captured Yamamoto and uncovered all the enemy agents in this area, which was a great achievement. This time when we return to the unit..."
"So, I also deserve half of the military merit award?" Li Xiyue joked.
Chu Xun tapped the tip of her nose and said affectionately, "Yes, half of it belongs to you."
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Chu sent a letter asking if we want to go back to the capital for the New Year."
Chu Xun smiled and said, "I went back home before coming here. My grandfather repeatedly told me that I must bring you back for the New Year."
"Ah Xun, can I meet my maternal grandfather?" Li Xiyue asked in a low voice.
Chu Xun nodded. "I'll make the arrangements."
Li Xiyue became happy, "That's great!"
"Yueyue, I'm sorry, I came back late and made you suffer so much." Chu Xun held her hand, feeling extremely apologetic.
Li Xiyue shook her head, "I wasn't wronged, don't blame yourself. The villagers all protected me. Besides, don't you know me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would let myself be wronged?"
"By the way, how did you manage to get Director Zheng here so quickly?"
“When we came back, we saw your deputy captain going to the police station to report a case. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I asked Chen Yu to ask. Sure enough, something had happened to you, so I asked Chen Yu to invite Director Zheng to come with us.”
Li Xiyue nodded, understanding. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Have you found anything about Miyano Koten's matter?"
Chu Xun said, "We've found some clues, but this person is very cunning and hides very well. We don't know where he is hiding yet, but the military rescued some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners he had captured. From them, we learned that he seems to be trying to save someone. Moreover, we suspect that his ultimate target may be your grandfather."
"Then isn't my grandfather in great danger?" Li Xiyue asked worriedly.
Chu Xun reassured him, "Don't worry, we've already sent extra people to protect Grandpa Liao, he'll be fine."
After dinner, the two talked for a while and then went to their respective rooms to sleep.
Li Xiyue entered the space; she was going to the commune.
As a member of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, Zhang Weibing frequently ransacked other people's homes, so his own home must have contained a considerable amount of valuables.
He vandalized her place, so she should steal from his house; that's fair.
