The wind at the border post is biting, but the people here are warm.

Three months have passed since Ling Yue came here.

On the day she left Nancheng, she packed the things that Mother Gu left for her in a box and left it in the home where she and Gu Chenxin once lived.

She went to the Martyrs' Cemetery and left her last thoughts about Yi Chen there.

She plans to say goodbye to the past completely!

Before leaving, she went to the hospital to say goodbye to her father Yuan!

"Yuer, are you really leaving the Gu family like this?"

Yuan Ye asked Ling Yue in disbelief.

"Well, we chose to let each other go. To be more precise, it was my unilateral choice to let go!"

"Then, you don't want anything from the Gu family?"

"No, it doesn't belong to me in the first place. If I take it, it will only become a bondage!"

Ling Yue answered with a sense of relief. She didn't notice the meaningful expression on Yuan Ye's face at all!

Then she said goodbye to everything in South City and came to the place where she had served for ten years.

When she set foot here again, she had already taken off her military uniform and was no longer a soldier, but an ordinary citizen.

She provides medical and health services to every officer and soldier at the border post, as well as local villagers.

Although he is no longer in military uniform, Ling Yue still does things with the decisive, serious and responsible spirit of a soldier.

Every day, she carries a medical kit and shuttles between the border outposts and nearby villages, treating various injuries and illnesses for everyone.

The soldiers at the border outposts all like this kind-hearted "squad leader".

Every time she came, everyone would gather around her enthusiastically, share with her the interesting things that happened at the outpost, or talk about the hardships of training.

Ling Yue always listened patiently, responded with a smile and gave them the greatest support and encouragement.

That warm smile seemed to dispel the coldness of the snowy world.

The villagers in the village were even more grateful to Ling Yuewei.

If someone in the family has a headache or fever, the first person they think of is her.

Once, an old man in the village suddenly fell ill, and his family came to look for Ling Yue anxiously. Without saying a word, she rushed to the old man's home in the howling cold wind. After some treatment, the old man was out of danger.

The old man held Ling Yue's hand, tears of emotion flowed down his wrinkled face, and he kept muttering words of gratitude.

At this moment, Ling Yue felt that all her efforts and hard work were worth it.

The days passed one by one, and Ling Yue gradually adapted to the simple, hard yet fulfilling life here.

But sometimes, when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, those memories of the past will quietly come to my mind.

She would think of Gu Chenxin, Yi Chen, and every little detail of her time in Nancheng and the special forces.

But soon, she would bring her thoughts back to reality and tell herself that since she had chosen to say goodbye, she should move forward firmly.

However, she always had the illusion that there was always a pair of burning eyes staring at her not far away.

That look made her heart beat faster.

At the same time, it reminded her of the days when she and Yi Chen fought the epidemic together in the countryside.

One day, a soldier who had returned from visiting his relatives came back to the outpost.

He looked at Ling Yue's busy figure and asked curiously, "This sister looks so familiar. Where have I seen her before?"

The old soldier next to him smiled and replied, "Of course not. Your sister Ling Yue served here for ten years. She was very capable back then. Now she's back to help us. We're so lucky."

When the soldiers heard this, their eyes were filled with awe!

As Ling Yue's reputation in the local area grew, medical institutions in some surrounding areas also heard of her deeds and extended olive branches to her, inviting her to go to a larger platform in the county to display her medical skills.

But Ling Yue politely declined them all.

She knew that her heart had taken root in this border area. There were people here who needed her and friendships that she could not give up. She was willing to stay here forever and protect everyone with her warmth.

During every festival, the outpost would be particularly lively. The soldiers would make dumplings together, and Ling Yue would also join in.

She was very skilled. While making dumplings, she told the young soldiers some interesting stories about how she celebrated festivals when she was in the special forces.

The small outpost was filled with a warm atmosphere, allowing her to temporarily forget her past sorrow!

Once, the outpost received a mission to assist a nearby village in responding to a sudden natural disaster. Ling Yue followed the soldiers without hesitation. The road was rugged and difficult to navigate, and the wind and snow continued to rage, but she did not retreat.

After arriving at the village, she was busy treating the wounds of the injured villagers and checking their physical conditions. She hardly slept for several days until she was sure that every villager was out of danger. Only then did she lean against the wall tiredly to rest for a while.

"Sister, you are from a big city, right?"

I saw a little girl standing beside her, holding a cup of brown sugar ginger tea in her hand.

"You...thank you!"

Only then did Ling Yue feel unwell.

This cup of brown sugar ginger tea was like timely help, and it also reminded her of the cup that Yi Chen had given her when she was in the special forces.

"Sister, where is your lover? Won't he miss you when you come here?"

The little girl looked at Ling Yue sipping ginger tea, and then she asked.

At this moment, Ling Yue's thoughts for Yi Chen instantly surged in her heart!

"Sister can't find him!" Ling Yue choked...

"Why can't you find him? Maybe he is right next to you."

The little girl's words were meaningful and profound. As she spoke, her eyes were looking at the place where the figure disappeared not far away.

"Really? Sister can almost feel that he is always by my side!"

Ling Yue drank the ginger tea in one breath, wiped away her tears, and smiled at the girl.

All of this was seen by one person.

At this moment, he couldn't and didn't dare to get close to Ling Yue. He could only wait and help her silently!

Not long after, the outpost was hit by a heavy snowfall, which blocked the mountain and made the transportation of supplies difficult.

Ling Yue and the soldiers saved limited supplies and took the initiative to distribute some of their daily necessities to villagers who were in greater need.

Although life is hard, there is joy in the hardship!

When spring came, the ice and snow around the outpost gradually melted, revealing some tender green grass sprouts.

Ling Yue led the soldiers to cultivate a small vegetable patch next to the outpost and taught everyone how to sow and apply fertilizers.

In summer, the vegetable fields are full of vitality, and everyone sits together to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Time flies, and three years of border life are gone in the blink of an eye. There is a man who has tirelessly traveled back and forth between Nancheng and the border countless times, just to wait for the person he cares about from afar.

At night, Ling Yue habitually stood outside the sentry post, looking at the starry sky, and his thoughts would occasionally drift back to the past.

However, she now looks more calm, as if the regrets and pains of the past have long been let go.

In the past three years, she had received countless calls from Yuan Ye urging her to return to South City, but she had rejected them all.

This time, she should go back and spend the New Year with her father Yuan!
