At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

Su Xing was slightly taken aback when he heard the woman thank him, and then said, "You're welcome. I just chatted with you for a few minutes."

"You should thank me," the woman said. "I know that the dog owners around here don't like to talk to me, but you're the only one who's willing to talk to me a little more... Besides, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there were places to learn for free, and I wouldn't have thought about finding something to do. I'm just worrying about having a baby every day."

When Su Xing heard her mention children, he subtly reminded her, "You're still young. As for children, they'll come when the time is right. But... these things can't be accomplished by you alone."

"I understand..." The woman nodded thoughtfully, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "By the way... if I ever said or did anything that upset you in the past, I apologize to you. Please... don't hold it against me."

Su Xing smiled and said, "Forget it, it's nothing serious. Let's not bring it up again. Just be more careful when you talk to and interact with others in the future. Making some changes in certain aspects will also benefit you."

The woman said, "Okay, I'll remember that, I'll listen to your advice."

Su Xing put a leash on Bu Diu, said goodbye to the woman, "It's getting late, we have to go back. You should go back early too, goodbye."

"Okay, bye-bye." The woman thought for a moment, then said, "Um... my name is Luo Xiaocao, and what's yours?"

Su Xing felt that he wasn't that familiar with this woman yet, so he simply said, "My surname is Su."

"Oh, Su, bye-bye."

Luo Xiaocao watched Su Xing and Bu Diu's figures disappear into the distance.

Her dog, Donkey, had just gone to pee around nearby, and now it's sitting back down at her feet, watching the animals go by.

……

Not long after Su Xing returned home, He Xu came back.

That night, Su Xing did not work on the drawing until midnight.

After showering and washing up, the young couple went back to their bedroom and cuddled for a long time...

……

March 22nd.

Zhao Xinxin's poetry collection has been officially released.

The poetry collection is titled "Young Seedlings and Poetic Lines".

At 8 a.m., Tiantian Publishing House's official Weibo account tagged Su Xing, as well as Zhao Xinxin's newly registered Weibo account.

Tiantian Publishing House V: "New Book Release!" The poetry collection *Seedlings and Poetic Lines* by young poet Shixing is officially released today! Poetry grows from the soil, and starlight shines from the tip of the pen. Young poet @Shixing sees the world with the purest eyes, writing verses that belong to the mountains and the evening breeze. This book features full-color hand-drawn illustrations by popular illustrator @XingleV, a healing experience through both words and images! May every heart that lives earnestly find its own star here. Tiantian Publishing House's new healing poetry collection link:…

After Su Xing tagged Zhao Xinxin on the official Weibo account of Tiantian Publishing House, he immediately reposted the Weibo post and left his affirmation and expectations for Zhao Xinxin.

AwakeV: "When I finished the last stroke of the illustrations for the young poet @Shixing's poetry collection, it felt like I had captured the wind and starlight of an entire spring into the book. Her poems are clean, clear, and carry the warmth of the earth; they are the most precious innocence and gentleness I have ever seen. Every illustration in the book is a heartfelt expression of my feelings, drawn bit by bit as I read the verses. Thank you, Shixing, for giving me the opportunity to share your starlight with more people. 'Young Seedlings and Poetic Journeys' is available today; I hope you enjoy it. Illustrations. New Book Recommendation"

During break, Zhao Xinxin secretly took out her phone and, with trembling hands, forwarded the Weibo post.

Picking Stars: "I'm so excited! My poems are really published! I've written about the wind, clouds, fields, stars, and grasshoppers in my poems. I've also written about longing and warmth in them. It's the world I've seen and felt, and I hope everyone likes it! I especially want to thank @醒了V (XingleV) sister; without her, my poems wouldn't have been published. Thank you also for illustrating the scenes in my poems. I hope that when you open the book, you can also see the light I saw. 'Seedlings and Poetic Journeys' is available today! My first book, short poems, 'Picking Starlight'."

This collection of children's poems has just gone on sale and is already selling quite well, with orders constantly increasing.

Although it can't compare to bestselling novels, children's poetry collections are a very niche publication, so her order volume is already quite astonishing.

A significant proportion of those who bought the book were fans of Su Xing.

After all, she has a fan base of over 20 million.

Some people want to see Su Xing's illustrations even if they don't want to read Zhao Xinxin's poems.

Another group of people were genuinely moved by the poems by Zhao Xinxin that Su Xing had previously posted on Weibo, and upon seeing the poetry collection on the market, they wanted to buy the whole book to read.

Many of these books are bought by parents for their children as extracurricular reading material.

Some of Su Xing's friends also bought a lot of her poetry collections as a way of supporting her and the young poet.

Like Zhao Xinxin, Su Xing also received a lot of sample books.

Su Xing placed another order for books herself, partly to boost sales of Zhao Xinxin's poems, although... it was also partly to boost her own sales. However, she didn't intend to pocket the royalties from the book's illustrations.

The soul of this poetry collection lies in Zhao Xinxin's words; her illustrations are merely an added bonus.

She plans to donate all the royalties she receives from illustrating this poetry collection to girls in need.

This donation of income is different from her sponsorship of girls who have dropped out of school.

This money can be used for more than just helping girls with their schooling; it can also be used to help them with other difficulties, such as illness, legal issues, or psychological support.

……

Wednesday afternoon.

After finishing his class, Su Xing went to the He family's old house alone.

He Xu has been too busy lately, coming home very late every day, and hasn't had time to go back to the He family's old house to spend time with his family.

Grandma He called Su Xing and asked her to come home for dinner and a chat when she had time.

On this day, He Xu's parents were both at the old house, which was a rare occurrence.

Su Xing agreed and went to the old house to visit several elders.

She and He Xu had been together for so long, and she was already very familiar with the He family. Even without He Xu, she wouldn't feel intimidated.

She was also planning to send today's premium new tea to several elders of the He family to try.

We arrived at the He family's house.

Su Xing received a warm welcome from several elders of the He family.

She's quite good at talking now, and she's managed to keep the He family members all smiles.

Everyone enjoyed dinner together.

After the meal, Grandpa He said, "Brew me a cup of that new tea that Xiaoxing brought."

Su Xing quickly said, "Grandpa, we just ate. Drinking green tea will upset our stomachs. Let's drink it tomorrow morning instead."

He Xu's mother quickly added, "Yes, green tea isn't fermented, so it's too strong. Dad, you already don't get much sleep these days, and if you drink it at night, you'll have even less time to sleep. Drink it during the day instead."

Old Master He grunted twice and sighed, "Alright then."

The He family members, the nanny, and the guard all breathed a sigh of relief.

As people get older, they sometimes act like children, and Grandpa He is no exception. Occasionally, when he gets stubborn, he doesn't listen to advice.

Now it's his daughter-in-law and future granddaughter-in-law who are persuading him, and he's readily obeying them.

He didn't want them to laugh at him.

Have some self-respect!

Su Xing stayed at the He family's old house until after 8 o'clock, then said goodbye to the elders and left.

She didn't bring Bu Diu with her this time.

After rushing back to the apartment, I quickly took Bu Diu to the park for a walk.

Before she even entered the park, she heard crying, shouting, and barking dogs...
