Although Fang Qingyou had already learned about Fang Runting's situation from Mingyue, she was truly relieved to see him safe and sound with her own eyes.

"Sister!" Fang Runtin, who was busy at work, was overjoyed to see Fang Qingyou.

He didn't know that the "Fang Qingyou" who had stayed in Lingnan City was just her stand-in. He had only met her a few times in all this time and had only exchanged a few words with her.

Deep down, I felt a sense of estrangement, as if she wasn't really my sister.

Now that I've seen Fang Qingyou, that feeling of closeness has finally come over me.

Fang Qingyou felt a lump in her throat. She had been extremely worried all the way here, always afraid that something might happen to Fang Runting. Now that she saw him standing safely in front of her, she was so relieved.

Besides being excited, I also felt heartache.

However, in just one month, Fang Runtin had lost a lot of weight and become much darker, and it looked as if his bones were about to pierce through his skin.

He was a completely different person from before.

"Brother, have you suffered a lot?"

Involuntarily, his voice became somewhat sore.

"No, not at all." Fang Runting helped the patient, whom the doctor had just finished treating, back to bed. Seeing that Fang Qingyou's eyes were a little red, he quickly comforted her, "Little sister, your brother didn't suffer. Look, isn't your brother doing well?"

As he spoke, Fang Runtin turned his body. He had indeed lost a lot of weight, but he was much stronger and in exceptionally good spirits.

He seems to have grown taller than before.

In that sense, Fang Runtin is indeed "good," but seeing him thinner and darker still makes me feel sad.

Just as they were about to say something, someone suddenly lifted the tent flap and came in.

A tall figure stood at the entrance of the tent, and instantly, the light inside the tent dimmed.

"Xiao Fang, how was your day?"

Fang Qingyou only noticed someone coming in, and before she could see who it was, she could tell from the voice.

"General She?" Fang Qingyou was quite surprised. It wasn't that she didn't expect She Ruifeng to know Fang Runting, but rather that the two were so close.

This "Little Fang" was not referring to her, but to Fang Runting.

"General She." Fang Runting quickly bowed to She Ruifeng.

"Oh? Miss Fang is here too!" She Ruifeng nodded to Fang Runting, and seeing Fang Qingyou standing to the side, he was also somewhat surprised. He then asked, "Is Miss Fang here to see these patients?"

Fang Qingyou was taken aback, unsure how to answer She Ruifeng.

Judging from this situation, She Ruifeng seems unaware of her relationship with Fang Runting.

Seeing this, Fang Runting explained to She Ruifeng, "General She, Xiaoyou is my sister."

This situation can no longer be concealed, and there's no need to hide it any longer.

"Huh?" She Ruifeng exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Fang, you said Miss Fang is your sister?!"

Only then did it dawn on them that Fang Runtin and Fang Qingyou both shared the surname Fang, and their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar. Judging from this, they really did seem to be siblings.

Seeing that She Ruifeng's big eyes were almost bulging out, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but laugh. It was rare to see him with such an expression.

In the end, she suppressed a laugh and nodded at him: "General She, the Xiao Fang you mentioned is indeed my brother."

Fang Runtin didn't speak, but he nodded heavily.

She Ruifeng glanced at Fang Runting for a while, then at Fang Qingyou, before finally accepting the fact.

He strode over and patted Fang Runting's shoulder with a hint of reproach, "Little Fang, you little rascal, it's been so long and you still haven't told me you're Miss Fang's brother."

Anyone who has heard of Fang Qingyou's treatment of the lady is probably aware of his acquaintance with her.

There's no reason Fang Runtin wouldn't know, so he would definitely deliberately keep it from me.

"General She, I'm sorry, I kept it from you. But I felt that whether I was Xiaoyou's brother or not had no impact on what I wanted to do, so I didn't tell you. Please forgive me." Fang Runting's expression was somewhat guilty, but without a trace of regret.

These are his true feelings.

If he could make the choice again, he still wouldn't tell She Ruifeng the truth.

Although he had some complaints, She Ruifeng felt more gratified and appreciative.

Actually, instead of blaming Fang Runtin for concealing the truth, he should blame himself. He was too stupid. He could have discovered the truth much earlier, but who would have thought that he would only realize it when he saw the two of them together today.

In fact, he understood Fang Runtin very well. This kid must have been afraid that if he knew about his relationship with Fang Qingyou, he would take care of him, which was why he had kept it from him all this time.

Come to think of it, if he had known this beforehand, he certainly wouldn't have sent him to participate in those extremely dangerous missions.

This kid wants to grow stronger little by little through his own efforts.

It really does look a bit like me when I was young!

Having figured this out, She Ruifeng couldn't help but think more highly of Fang Runting.

Originally, after going through so much, Fang Runtin had already caught his eye.

Now, with the added connection to Fang Qingyou, he felt his relationship with Fang Runting had become even closer, rising from a trusted subordinate to a confidant.

"You rascal." She Ruifeng patted Fang Runting on the shoulder, his tone sounding much more affectionate.

He didn't say much, but the trust and admiration in his eyes were undisguised.

Looking at She Ruifeng and Fang Runting, Fang Qingyou felt that Fang Runting's actions were not simply about helping She Ruifeng.

Seeing her puzzled expression, She Ruifeng burst into laughter: "Miss Fang, you don't know yet, do you? Your brother has joined the army and is now one of my men."

"Huh?" Fang Qingyou was extremely shocked. She brought Fang Runting out this time to broaden his horizons and let him experience the world, but she never expected that he would join the army.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from you. I just wanted to make a name for myself before telling you..."

Seeing Fang Qingyou's shocked expression, Fang Runtin's guilt deepened.

After the initial shock, Fang Qingyou suddenly laughed: "Brother, telling me now is not too early at all. I think you are already very good. You are a soldier under General She."

The girl's radiant smile made Fang Runting feel instantly relieved, and the oppression in his chest vanished without a trace. He had thought his sister would blame him, but he hadn't expected that she would not only not blame him, but also support him like this.

It made him feel like he had gained a lot of power, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

She Ruifeng's expression suddenly turned serious, and he shook his head earnestly: "Miss Fang, you are wrong."

"Huh?" Fang Qingyou didn't understand. What did she do wrong? They had already admitted that Fang Runting had become She Ruifeng's subordinate, so why were they saying she was wrong?
