"Miss, I haven't disappointed you. I've finally completed my training and returned! I will never leave you again!" Zhang Yufeng hugged the girl in her arms tightly with eyes brimming with tears, choking up as she spoke.
"Good, we'll never be apart again," An Yiqing soothed Zhang Yufeng as one would a child, gently patting her back and whispering words of comfort.
For a moment, the broken and untidy courtyard was filled with warmth, as the two outstanding young women embraced closely, their affection for each other growing stronger.
After a short while, Zhang Yufeng stepped out of An Yiqing's warm embrace, scratched her head sheepishly, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Miss. I... I lost my composure."
"It doesn't matter. Come, Xiao Feng, let me introduce you to your future comrades," An Yiqing said with a smile and a shake of her head, indicating it was no big deal.
She took Zhang Yufeng's hand and led her to three men who had been watching the excitement.
