Fang Tian was filled with the sweet fragrance of her hair, which captivated her, making her feel as if she had returned to the past, so similar.

She couldn't help but hug her, feeling a sense of security she had never felt before.

"But I usually work in Qizhou..."

“It’s okay, I also travel for work often, whoever is free will go and keep you company.”

"It will be quite tough..."

Her work is often chaotic and hectic, not to mention her career.

"I won't feel tired if it's just to see you. Don't worry, I'll handle everything."

Li Siyin gently comforted her.

They then drove around for most of the way back to their car, and it was nearly four in the morning.

Sleepiness washed over Fang Tian like a surging tide, and she closed her eyes, leaning back in the car seat. Dawn was just two hours away, and they decided to wait and watch the sunrise together…

When Schimerling woke up, it was almost nine o'clock.

She only remembered going into the hotel with Tian Tian last night; she had almost completely forgotten everything after that.

My head is still dizzy and throbbing; I should drink less in the future.

She sat up and looked around the room. Sweetie was nowhere to be seen, but the luggage on the table was still there.

I picked up my phone; the battery was almost dead, and there were several missed calls from Xiangjun.

There were also a lot of WeChat messages from her older sister, probably because she learned from Rong's parents that she hadn't gone to Tibet.

She quickly found the charger and plugged in her phone to prevent it from shutting down due to low battery.

Looking at the messages on WeChat, they were all asking her about her return trip, what was wrong with her health, and her current location.

She didn't reply immediately, but instead dialed Sweetie's number first.

But after the ringtone rang for a long time, no one answered. Helpless, she could only leave her a message on WeChat.

Then I went to the bathroom to use the toilet and wash up.

When she came out, her phone was quite charged.

She first informed the Prime Minister of her situation, and as for her reply to her sister, she only said: "Everything is fine, don't worry."

She was drunk before, and I sent her some well wishes in a moment of impulsiveness. Now there is no clarification about her online, so things are indeed not that simple.

After tidying up, she planned to check out first. Sweetie's car was still there, so she could drive it to meet other friends. She would make other plans after she returned the call.

Schimerling drove to his alma mater and, using his status as an armed police officer, was able to enter smoothly.

During this period, the new recruits were still undergoing military training, and she did not contact the instructors and counselors in advance, thinking she would contact them at noon.

Shu Xiangyu tried to contact Momo last night but couldn't get through. He waited and waited but only received a few words, which made his already uneasy heart even more anxious.

After finishing her schedule, she rushed to the airport, intending to go straight back to Haishi to find her…

In the four years since, the Armed Police Academy has not changed much, but all its facilities have been renovated and the conditions are much better than before.

After passing the teaching building, the large lecture hall, the laboratory building, the library, the canteen, and the dormitory building, we finally arrived at the playground and the military training base.

Under the bright sunshine, rows of soldiers in training uniforms practiced marching and various other drills in perfect unison.

Just like them before, they were greenhorns, initially finding everything novel, then becoming overwhelmed and numb, before finally being tempered into steel.

Their hard work and dedication bear witness to their growth and transformation.

However, after joining the detachment and experiencing real physical training and live-fire missions, I realized how simple and easy the training in school was.

However, we are young now, and we should have different aspirations and a sense of drive.

Schimerlin walked to the steps of a playground and sat down, quietly watching those youthful faces. It really brought back memories.

Unfortunately, after the internship, it was difficult for their classmates to get together again. They were all scattered in different provinces and cities, making it difficult to even meet up.

At this moment, Instructor Cheng Geng walked by and inadvertently looked back. He found her to be very familiar and couldn't help but stop to ask her something.

Ximerlin had already stood up and called out to him, waving and saluting: "Instructor Cheng, it's been a long time."

After racking his brains for a while, Cheng Geng remembered her and exclaimed in surprise, "You're Old Zhao's former student, Xi Molin!"

He then saluted her in return.

"Instructor Cheng, do you still remember me?"

Schimerlin lowered his hand, somewhat surprised.

Cheng Geng smiled and said, "Of course I remember. You were one of the most outstanding students in that year. You left a deep impression on us."

The two chatted as they slowly walked down the playground, where groups of students were resting under the big trees.

Upon seeing the girl standing with Instructor Cheng, dressed in civilian clothes, with a dashing figure and pretty face, everyone began to whisper among themselves, discussing her background.

Schimerlin looked around several times but couldn't find Instructor Zhao.

Cheng Geng then confessed: "Last year, Lao Zhao's wife fell ill, so he took a long leave of absence..."

"Sick? Is it serious?"

She would inquire about Instructor Zhao and the instructor every year, but they never mentioned it, and even her classmates didn't know.

Cheng Geng sighed with a worried expression, "I have mid-stage stomach cancer. I had surgery and am currently undergoing chemotherapy."

Xi Molin stopped in his tracks, his expression complex and his eyes grave. He asked in a deep voice, "Instructor Cheng, could you tell me Instructor Zhao's address?"

“They are currently receiving treatment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and will not be returning to Haishi for a while. You should call and ask... I have something to do, so I'll head over there first.”

Cheng Geng looked worried and turned to leave.

"Instructor Cheng, thank you."

She saluted him again and watched him leave.

Schimerling then went to a secluded spot and dialed his instructor's number.

At that moment, Huang Yiqiu was organizing the students' personal information in her office when she received the call, which surprised her somewhat.

She was overjoyed to learn that she was actually at school and asked her to come over directly.

Schimerling hurried to the registrar's office, to the same old office.

Hearing her footsteps, Huang Yiqiu put down the documents in her hand, got up and walked to the door.

Upon seeing her long-absent students, she immediately smiled: "Merlin, why did you suddenly come back to school?"

Schimerlin stood at attention and saluted her: "Instructor."

Huang Yiqiu, dressed in his training uniform, also saluted her.

After putting their hands down, the two embraced and reminisced warmly.

After being released, Huang Yiqiu excitedly pointed to the black leather sofa next to him: "You can sit there, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Schimerlin waved his hand: "Instructor, no need to trouble yourself."

"It's alright. You've come all this way, surely you'd be offered some water too?"

Huang Yiqiu took out a disposable paper cup and tea leaves, brewed a cup of tea for her, and then placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

How long are you planning to stay here this time?

“I was on leave to visit my family during this period. I originally planned to drive to Tibet with my comrades, but I felt unwell when I got to Luding, so I turned back. When I come to Haishi, I will definitely get together with you, Sister Guan Yue, and a few other classmates.”

Huang Yiqiu sat down next to her, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "It's good to stay a few more days. It's been such a long time since we last met... I didn't realize it when we video chatted before, but now that I see you, I see that you've all changed a lot. You've all matured a lot. I'm almost a middle-aged woman."
