The exam week ended, and the holiday began an entire week earlier than An Hao and her friends had anticipated.
What great news it was, with over a month of summer vacation, she planned to spend a good amount of time at the military base.
An Hao packed her things with great excitement; just thinking about the upcoming reunion made her heart soar.

As a child neither cherished by her mother nor favored by her father, she had nowhere to go during the vacation.
Last year during the New Year celebrations, she returned to her own city and stayed with her father, the chief of staff, at the military base.
Every day, aside from eating and sleeping, she was dragged by her father to the training ground to jog with a bunch of male soldiers—just thinking about it was tediously boring.
"An Hao! SOS!" Looking at An Hao, who was so happy she might just fly away like a little bird, Gu Shuangshuang spoke from her bed languidly.
