After dinner, Gu Jian inquired about Xiao Yeyang's situation at the Northern Frontier over the past two years. Xiao Yeyang briefly described it, glossing over the details, but both Gu Jian and Daohua understood the risks involved.
Watching his nephew, who now seemed much more composed and resolute than two years before, Gu Jian felt a sense of pride. Although the battlefield was dangerous, it truly did forge a person.
To prevent the mood from becoming too somber, Xiao Yeyang picked out some amusing stories from the military camp to share, bringing smiles to Daohua's face, while Gu Jian tried to maintain his composure, though a smile was always playing on his lips.
Daohua also shared the amusing occurrences from their lives over the past two years with Xiao Yeyang.
Through the conversation, they both learned what the other had experienced during their time apart and the novel things they encountered. Once the box was opened, it was hard to close.
