Schimerlin walked to a secluded spot, successfully turned on his phone which had very little battery left, and charged it.

Scroll down to the WeChat chats inside, and the chat box at the top is my sister's.

The nickname remained unchanged, but the profile picture was changed to a back view that didn't resemble the person in the picture, yet still looked familiar.

Could it be my sister's back view...?

She opened their chat history and started reading from the very beginning, taking a long time to finish reading their nearly year-long conversations.

From the initial indifference to the increasing affection, until half a year ago, the two reconciled and their chats became sweet and beautiful. They also spent a lot of time video chatting, and every word they said revealed their deep love and doting affection for each other.

Then they flipped through the photo album, which contained many intimate photos and videos of them together, and the smiles on their faces were genuinely from the bottom of their hearts.

After reading through all of this, Schimerlin was completely bewildered and unable to accept it.

These were things she had longed for, like a dream come true, all her expectations becoming tangible and no longer confined to fantasy.

But all she can remember now are those painful and desperate memories; nothing else.

With what mindset and identity should she come to terms with what happened?

Under the sunlight, the wind stirs up dust.

Schimerling looked up at the azure sky, tears still streaming down his face.

To live means to endure all the emotions brought about by the seven emotions and six desires, so why did she have to suffer through two lifetimes of pain...?

Back in the tent, no one said a word. She took out a watch from under her pillow; it was a model she had never seen before.

Shu Xiangyu looked at her calmly, and after a long while, she said in a low voice, "That was a gift I gave you for your birthday."

She gave her one when we were in school, but this watch is much better.

She remained silent, putting the watch back under her pillow, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Perhaps trying to accept it is the best option right now...

Shu Yunrong returned to his post two days later in the evening.

Upon seeing that Xiao Yu was also injured, he was very worried and inquired about the extent of her injuries. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.

The next day, she was arranged to be sent out of Luding. Before leaving, Xi Molin remained calm and did not show any reluctance.

Shu Xiangyu knew that she needed time to adjust, so she didn't force her to do anything. Even though she was reluctant, she could only endure it.

The golden period for disaster relief and rescue has gradually passed, and the main task now is post-disaster reconstruction.

In particular, water, electricity, and roads must be repaired as soon as possible so as not to affect the daily lives of the people.

The wounded soldiers of the Jiangyan detachment were all sent back to the camp to recuperate.

Once outside the camp, Shu Yunrong, a veteran of the armed police, successfully concluded his mission to assist in earthquake relief and prepared to return to Qizhou.

Schimerling had the squadron's car take him to the airport.

But before leaving, he hesitated for a long time, and finally called her aside with a serious expression, saying that he had something to talk to her about...

For the next few days, Shu Xiangyu couldn't get in touch with Momo, even though she had already returned to the camp.

She was particularly worried that what happened before still bothered her and that she wouldn't want to talk to her.

Fortunately, she had been staying at her home in Jiangyan since returning from Luding. Ignoring her injured leg, she took a taxi to the detachment.

Upon arrival, she registered her personal information at the camp gate and waited for the officers on duty to contact Momo. This time, she requested to meet as a family member.

In mid-September, the temperature in Jiangyan was still quite hot; standing in the shade was the only way to feel a little better.

Before long, a car came to pick her up; it was Zhou Zhendong, the platoon leader.

He never expected that the sister who came to pick up the squad leader would actually be Shu Xiangyu.

She was only wearing a sun hat and sunglasses today, not a mask, so she was easily recognizable.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, it's been a long time."

Shu Xiangyu, leaning on her cane, greeted him.

"You and the company commander have become sworn sisters..."

Zhou Zhendong was somewhat curious.

"That's it."

"You hurt your leg?"

Shu Xiangyu was wearing casual shorts, and her right calf was bandaged.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"Let's go, I'll help you into the car."

The two got into the car and prepared to head to the dormitory building.

On the way there, Shu Xiangyu casually asked, "Platoon Leader Zhou, after you came back from this disaster relief operation, did you notice any changes in Captain Xi?"

Zhou Zhendong hesitated for a long time before asking, "You sensed it too?"

"Um…"

“During this period, we all felt that the company commander had become strange, less talkative, always had a stern face during training, and stopped joking. He had become friendly and talkative before, and often allowed us to make a fuss.”

"Really? That's quite strange..."

Shu Xiangyu felt increasingly uneasy.

They arrived downstairs quickly. At this time, the officers and soldiers were all training outside, but Momo was not participating because her injury had not yet fully recovered.

"Do you need me to help you up?"

Zhou Zhendong opened the car window and shouted.

"No need, thank you."

Shu Xiangyu, leaning on his cane, slowly went upstairs.

The car then turned around and left.

She had only taken a few steps when a figure in camouflage appeared at the top of the stairs.

Without lingering, Xi Molin quickly picked her up and carried her steadily upstairs.

Shu Xiangyu thought she wouldn't pay attention to him, but she didn't expect her to be so proactive.

She leaned comfortably in her arms, looking at her calm expression, but her eyes were already burning with fire.

Back in the dormitory, Xi Molin put her on the bed, then got up to close and lock the door, followed by closing the balcony door and drawing the curtains.

To Shu Xiangyu, these things seemed unusual.

The room, which had become somewhat dim, felt exceptionally cool thanks to the air conditioning, and neither of them spoke.

Schimerlin took off his training cap, his head still wrapped in a thin bandage. Then he unzipped his training uniform and took it off, revealing only an olive green short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Her appearance startled Shu Xiangyu. Perhaps guessing what she was about to do, she braced herself against the edge of the bed and stood up on tiptoe.

"What, are you scared?"

Schimerlin reached out and pressed her back down, his voice chilling.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing her flustered expression, Xi Molin couldn't help but smile coldly.

"Has nothing happened between us before?"

She showed no mercy and pushed her onto the bed.

"Are you crazy? This is your dormitory building."

Shu Xiangyu disliked her current state; she seemed like a completely different person, unlike both the person she was before and the person she was in her previous life.
